Earth Day 2017: How To Get Involved In UK Celebrations
On Saturday 22 April, millions of people around the world will join forces to celebrate Earth Day.
The annual, global event is designed to empower people with the knowledge to protect the planet.
Last year, Earth Day marked the signing of the Paris Agreement, an action plan to limit global warming to below 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
This year, protestors will take to the streets of major cities in a March for Science. Organisers say the event was devised in the "face of an alarming trend toward discrediting scientific consensus and restricting scientific discovery".
While the largest crowds are expected to descend upon Washington DC, significant numbers are due to attend in London too. The march will start at the Science Museum in Kensington at 11am and finish at Parliament Square.
For those who would rather take part in smaller gatherings, there are dozens of events around the country from 'teach-ins' to tree-planting sessions. Leeds University is even hosting an Ask a Climate Scientist event.
Speaking to HuffPost UK, Dan Abrams, global director of Earth Day, shared tips for people who want to make their own contributions to help the planet:
In 2017 it's no longer enough to change your light bulbs to LEDs (which you should!) and to print double sided paper. We must better match the urgency and immediate need of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to our asks of our global citizens.
To reduce your impact on the environment I would suggest people eat less meat (one of the leading personal impacts to climate change in industrialized countries), encourage more robust public transit and cycling options in your communities to reduce the need for cars, and to set up a compost bin for food scraps in your home or collection for your community.
I also encourage people to educate themselves on the values and voting records of their elected leaders and those running for election. It is very important to let elected your leaders know that you prioritize environmental protections including clean air, clean water, and clean land and that you as a voter want an elected leader who is ready to lead on comprehensive action to climate change.

Q: Bokeh plot line not updating after checking CheckboxGroup in server mode (python callback) I have just initiated myself to Bokeh library and I would like to add interactivity in my dashboard. To do so, I want to use CheckboxGroup widget in order to select which one of a pandas DataFrame column to plot.
I have followed tutorials but I must have misunderstood the use of ColumnDataSource as I cannot make a simple example work...
I am aware of previous questions on the matter, and one that seems relevant on the StackOverflow forum is the latter :
Bokeh not updating plot line update from CheckboxGroup
Sadly I did not succeed in reproducing the right behavior.
I have tried to reproduce an example following the same updating structure presented in Bokeh Server plot not updating as wanted, also it keeps shifting and axis information vanishes by #bigreddot without success.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

from bokeh.models import ColumnDataSource
from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.palettes import Spectral
from bokeh.layouts import row
from bokeh.models.widgets import CheckboxGroup
from bokeh.io import curdoc

#  UPDATE FUNCTION ------------------------------------------------
# make update function
def update(attr, old, new):
    feature_selected_test = [feature_checkbox.labels[i] for i in feature_checkbox.active]
    # add index to plot
    feature_selected_test.insert(0, 'index')
    # create new DataFrame
    new_df = dummy_df.filter(feature_selected_test)
    plot_src.data = ColumnDataSource.from_df(data=new_df)

# CREATE DATA SOURCE ------------------------------------------------
# create dummy data for debugging purpose
index = list(range(0, 890))
index.extend(list(range(2376, 3618)))
feature_1 = np.random.rand(len(index))
feature_2 = np.random.rand(len(index))
feature_3 = np.random.rand(len(index))
feature_4 = np.random.rand(len(index))

dummy_df = pd.DataFrame(dict(index=index, feature_1=feature_1, feature_2=feature_2, feature_3=feature_3,feature_4=feature_4))

# CREATE CONTROL ------------------------------------------------------
# list available data to plot
available_feature = list(dummy_df.columns[1:])
# initialize control
feature_checkbox = CheckboxGroup(labels=available_feature, active=[0, 1], name='checkbox')
feature_checkbox.on_change('active', update)

# INITIALIZE DASHBOARD ---------------------------------------------------
# initialize ColumnDataSource object
plot_src = ColumnDataSource(dummy_df)
# create figure
line_fig = figure()
feature_selected = [feature_checkbox.labels[i] for i in feature_checkbox.active]
# feature_selected = ['feature_1', 'feature_2', 'feature_3', 'feature_4']

for index_int, col_name_str in enumerate(feature_selected):
    line_fig.line(x='index', y=col_name_str, line_width=2, color=Spectral[11][index_int % 11], source=plot_src)

curdoc().add_root(row(feature_checkbox, line_fig))

The program should work with a copy/paste... well without interactivity...
Would someone please help me ? Thanks a lot in advance.

A: You are only adding glyphs for the initial subset of selected features:
for index_int, col_name_str in enumerate(feature_selected):
    line_fig.line(x='index', y=col_name_str, line_width=2, color=Spectral[11][index_int % 11], source=plot_src)

So that is all that is ever going to show.
Adding new columns to the CDS does not automatically make anything in particular happen, it's just extra data that is available for glyphs or hover tools to potentially use. To actually show it, there have to be glyphs configured to display those columns. You could do that, add and remove glyphs dynamically, but it would be far simpler to just add everything once up front, and use the checkbox to toggle only the visibility. There is an example of just this in the repo:
https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/blob/master/examples/app/line_on_off.py
That example passes the data as literals the the glyph function but you could put all the data in CDS up front, too.


Hi! Remember me? Yes, I know it has been a while since posting my last missive. Besides having had company for the last two weeks, I have been busy with driving (riding) to various military installations for a new ID card, organizing volunteers for our Home and Garden Show, and learning to play bridge. One of the ladies in our neighborhood is teaching many of our neighborhood residents. It has been fun so far.
Before life got all crazy busy I had the pleasure of visiting Marian, Hortiopia, who lives in Greenville, a short hour away.
Her front garden is on a slope and in the shade, quite lovely and full of many shade loving plants. Marian, ever the generous garden, shared a big clump of Hellebores with me. Wow! Her back yard borders the Reedy River and has a lot of great wildlife. Visit her blog to see more of her wonderful garden.
My visit was to talk about blogging as Marian is relatively new in the blogging world. It was a nice visit, just like two friends getting together for lunch and a walk about the garden. We talked gardens, birds (both love watching the birds), blogging, books, and the water we each live on.
Marian has the loveliest collection of gardening books. Here she is next to the best collection of gardening books I have seen. Again, this generous lady gave me a book by a friend of hers. She was down to a precious few copies, and she shared one with me.
Down to Earth a book by Margot Rochester, written and published not too long before she passed away. I have enjoyed reading through her book, wanting each plant she mentions. I have added some Mexican Sunflowers to my garden -- ordered some seeds last month-- thanks to Marian and Margot.
We hope to get together often --love having more garden bloggers close by!
As you can see there are two books in the above photo. Low Impact Low Carbon Gardening, a winning from Donna at Gardens Eye View. Donna lives in Central New York, so her garden zone is quite different than mine, I thoroughly enjoy reading her blog. Thanks Donna!
Since my last post spring has come and then stalled here in South Carolina. Many blooms have opened. My Pieris japonica 'Valley Rose' has lovely pink buds and light pink blooms. What a great shrub, while it is only about 8 inches tall, I have grand hopes for it in future years.
Lots of daffodils are blooming, many of the white ones are blooming now. Below is Narcissus 'White Marvel' -- I was hoping I had it timed to bloom the same time the white fringe tree, Chionanthus retusus is blooming. If the tree blooms soon I will have succeeded...though it doesn't look close to bloom time.
The banished to the garage Clivia miniata is in full bloom now. Soon the warmer weather will allow me to repot it minus the nest of ants that caused it to be banished.
This is the time of year that the Loropetalum shrubs are blooming. I wanted to share the difference of the two colors I have in the garden. The one on the left is L. 'Ever Red' with its red blooms and burgundy foliage, love it! The one on the right is L. Daruma, pink blooms and a green/red foliage, depending on how mature the leaf.
Oh, remember the Home and Garden Show I mentioned earlier? Well, I met another garden blogger at the show. David from Pinewood Cottage Garden stopped by our Master Gardener booth and introduced himself. What fun!! We had talked of getting together, but I was surprised when he walked up and asked if I was the Queen of Seaford! After a short conversation we agreed to visit each other's gardens once the weather allows spring to come into full swing.
I am sure spring is here...or very close. I have found a number of ferns starting to emerge. I believe this one is Woodwardia virginica, Virginia Chainfern.
A new bulb in my garden is a miniature tulip.... Tulipa turkestanica, is blooming now.
Another garden blogger I have been planning to meet in Spartanburg is DJ from Meander Mountain. DJ and Julie (Growing Days) and I have talked about a visit to Hatcher Gardens. Garden blogging friends from the last fling getting together sounds like a good time doesn't it?
Our Red headed Woodpecker is a frequent visitor this winter. Lately there are two.....doing a lot of fluttering around. Could baby woodpeckers be coming?
On my way home from Marian's house I saw this ugly guy at the stop sign. You will be happy that I cropped the photo to eliminate the road kill he and his buddy were working on. These birds do a good job of cleaning up along the roadways.
As I said in an earlier post, I will be working by way around to your blogs, catching up on my reading. Time to get back into the routine of posting and reading. I have missed you all.
My Amaryllis 'Blossom Peacock' bulb that bloomed back in January is blooming again. It is not in good shape. I put the bulb in a tall glass vase, suspending it above the water by virtue of the curves of the glass and the size of the bulb. I guess the energy used to put out the first flower stalk depleted the size of the bulb just enough to let it slip into the water. I didn't see that is slipped at first so the bulb sat in the water, rotting.
Once I saw it, I dumped the water to well below the bulb. I was about to give it the old 'heave ho' after the first bloom was finished as the bulb didn't look very healthy. When I was about to get rid of it I saw new leaves emerging from the soggy looking bulb. I decided to wait and see what happened. Perhaps in survival mode it put up two flower stalks!
I like the picture above as the sunlight shines through the window and illuminates the blooms. Photographing this beauty is and was a challenge. The first round of bloom I used a black apron as a backdrop to give a very plain background. Great effect isn't it?
Which is your favorite background, light or dark? Amazing how differently it sets off the flower.
Around here spring is in the air, teasing us with one tiny bloom at a time. The Loropetalum 'Ever Red' is just starting to bloom, its blooms are such a rich red color, I really enjoy this plant.
The crocuses I planted all over the yard are finally starting to bloom. C. 'Advance' had bloomed starting weeks ago, the others were in suspended animation. Here is Crocus chrysanthus 'Ladykiller' finally opened yesterday. Hooray!!!
Another second flush is my Clivia miniata, who has been banished to the garage. Why? Apparently a nest of ants had taken up residence in the soil during the summer. I thought I had gotten rid of the ants, but found a trail from the container to the dog's dish....ick. The garage seems to be a good place for it.
The Edgeworthia chrysantha is at its peak now, the blooms look like huge pompoms hanging on each branch.
Also in the backyard is/was a Farfugium japonica, old name Ligularia. I bought it in October and it was quite happy in a semi-dry shady area... love the large green leaves.
This is what I found last week-- makes you want to cry doesn't it? This hole is larger than an inch, so something other than a vole has eaten the majority of my plant. Think a rat trap is in my future.
How is your garden shaping up for the beginning of spring?
How did it get to be the first of the month already?? Wow, guess all the wishing for spring to come helps. The blooming fragrant plants in my garden are similar to what was fragrant last month with a few additions. Walk with me around the yard as we see what is fragrant in my garden.
First, along the driveway, still blooming, Narcissus 'Grand Soleil d'Or', the yellow paperwhite. What a nice long bloom period!
Walking toward the house the next fragrant (though only slightly) is my yellow crocus, Crocus chrysanthus 'Advance'. None of my other crocuses have bloomed, yet.
As we head past the house and walk toward the backyard, the fragrance of the Edgeworthia is heavy on the breeze. This is the prime time for Edgeworthia chrysantha. You can smell the scent from up on the deck all the way down to the water. How many of you have purchased an Edgeworthia this year?? My work here is done.
A new plant to add to the list of the fragrant blooms is Daphne genkwa, Lilac daphne. I read a number of reports that this pretty little shrub is slightly fragrant, though, I don't get any fragrance from it. I will include it in my monthly post, but can't vouch for its scent.
This is an unknown Narcissus from a multi-pack of daffodils. It has a slight fragrance and really not very appealing. I can't wait for some of my really fragrant daffodils to bloom.
Coming back around the house and heading back toward the front, I have a number of Viburnum tinus compacta 'Spring Bouquet'. This pretty bloom's fragrance is fleeting. I remember last year finally getting a chance to experience the fragrance. Some plants give off more fragrance at certain times during the day. Maybe I miss this one more than I catch its scent.
In the front yard by the shed is one of the Daphne odora aureomarginata, Winter daphne. It has a lemony fragrance, another great winter fragrance that keeps on blooming. So glad both my Winter daphne are doing well.
Finally, Osmanthus fragrans, Tea Olive, is still blooming and super fragrant. This evergreen shrub blooms from late summer through fall and winter into early spring. I have eight of them around my garden. They can reach heights of 20 feet or more. Imagine a shrub that size full of blooms -- heavenly!!
What do you have fragrant in your garden?

Avery's Branch Farms
By Erin Mahone | August 13th, 2018
Growing a farm and a family
Most families interested in instilling a strong work ethic and a connection to the earth give their kids chores, encourage a summer job and maybe plant a garden. They don't sell everything and start a farm. Most families aren't the Alexander family of Avery's Branch Farms in Amelia. Tim and Joy Alexander are high school sweethearts whose commitment to their faith, family and community has guided them in their lives together since 1984.
In 2007, after 23 years of marriage and six children, Tim and Joy began their farming journey almost by accident. Tim worked long hours in the construction field, and Joy stayed home with the kids, home-schooling all of them. As their four sons grew, they took an interest in agriculture, and Joy felt they needed more time with their dad. The family sought a way in which Tim could be home more. They thought the answer was home building but it was the beginning of the financial crisis and real estate was flat.
Around the same time, they developed an interest in obtaining raw milk for the family, but buying and selling unpasteurized milk is illegal; instead, they went in search of a cow-sharing opportunity (people own a "share" of a cow to obtain raw milk legally). When they reached out to see whether others were interested, the response was overwhelming and their new life began to take shape.
"I had never touched a cow," Joy insists. "We are from suburbia. This is not something we ever dreamed of doing. We just wanted to work together and teach our children."
They began their farm on a small amount of acreage with only two cows but quickly outgrew it. Two years later, in 2009, they found an abandoned farm in Amelia that was just the right size, though it needed lots of work to get it up and running. The family downsized their living space in the move, but they were willing to make the sacrifice. "It's the most rewarding, fulfilling thing I've ever done," says Joy enthusiastically.
Today they run a thriving organic farm that offers all-natural meat and dairy products. Producing all-natural organic foods was a priority for the Alexanders from the start. "Organic farming is more labor intensive than conventional farming," she admits. "We are farming in ways that were done 100 years ago." However, they are committed to producing "life-giving, healing food."
Joy insists that their success is a collaboration – not only within the family but also between their family and the community. "Local farming has become more dependent on building a relationship between consumer and farmer. We are dependent on the consumer supporting the work we are doing to provide organic foods. The community has truly supported my family. They have given me the opportunity to raise these children and walk alongside my husband. I so wish to thank them. If they hadn't chosen us to be their local farmers, none of this would be possible."
For more information or to visit Avery's Branch Farms, go to AverysBranchFarms.com. Joy recommends paying a visit during the 4:30-6 p.m. milking.

See Where Every US State Gets Its Energy From
Alissa Walker
Filed to:energy
Thanks to Obama's Clean Power Plan announced earlier this week, each state in the US has been charged with plotting a way to a cleaner energy future. While the goal for the entire country is to reduce carbon emissions from power plants by a third by 2030, as you can see from this map, some states are already getting almost all of their power from carbon-free sources.
The Washington Post's John Muyskens, Dan Keating and Samuel Granados put together a gorgeous interactive map showing the location of every energy-generating source in the country and how much power they're making. But what's particularly awesome about this map is that you can view, state by state, exactly how much of that energy already comes from renewable sources.
Oregon, for example, already gets 69 percent of its energy from hydroelectric plants, 20 percent from natural gas, and 10 percent from wind. Contrast that to a state like West Virginia, where 95 percent of the energy comes from coal plants, and you can see how some states will have to change their entire economies to meet the plan's mandates.
The maps also break down each energy source to show which states are leaders in each type of power generation. You can easily see how each state is making energy choices that are geographically specific, but also where the opportunities are still to be found. Solar plants currently only supply eight percent of the country's power, but it's the fastest-growing renewable energy industry. These maps will change significantly over the next 15 years, and that's a very good thing.
Check out the interactive maps and charts at the Washington Post to see the whole package.

Q: NDIS or TDI for packet redirection to a local proxy I need to develop a transparent filter to redirect outgoing HTTP packets to a local proxy, to do transparent content filtering.
Which is the best technology to do it, TDI or NDIS IM?
My main constraint is to avoid conflicts with antivirus software, which also do some kind of packet redirection to inspect HTTP content (I don't know whether antivirus programs use TDI, NDIS IM, or both).
Rather than writing the driver myself, actually, I'm also considering two commercial SDKs for packet filtering/modification: one uses a TDI driver while the other uses a NDIS IM driver, so that's the origin of my question (I was only aware of NDIS IM, before looking at the two SDKs).

A: NDIS IM gives you access to packets.
If you're redirecting to a proxy you probably are doing this at the connection (TCP) level, in which case this would be a lot of work at NDIS IM level, since you'd need to implement a full TCP stack to deal with retries, sequencing etc.
So I would look more into TDI or WFP (depending on target OS).
Most AV I know of use LSP for this as well, which is a winsock filtering layer.  So TDI would be well below this, and also capture apps that don't use windows sockets for TCP/IP (such as explorer, SMB clients etc).

A: I found this software to do this. His software usae NDIS IM
http://www.softperfect.com/products/bandwidth/


So, I said on multiple occasions that the price surge (that happened in a very timely manner, during precise hours, following a pattern each day) was due to a test.
Many people said I was wrong, that it was only speculation over the upcoming xRapid release.
I tried times and times again to find the press release again, but I had deleted my history.
I only remembered a few words "five continuous hours"; "R3"; "US equity markets".
After rewatching the IMF Spring Meeting, streamed yesterday, I noticed Christine Lagarde talked about DLT being able to support the daily trading volume of the US equity market.
I remembered the phrasing used in October, and that it could be correlated to the September pump to 0.8$.
I then searched on Google for The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation + US Equity Markets, in October 2018 and I found it again.
Here is the press release, I saw in October, describing the test.
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the premier post-trade market infrastructure for the global financial services industry, today announced the results of a benchmark study which demonstrated for the first time ever that distributed ledger technology (DLT) is capable of supporting average daily trading volumes in the US equity market of more than 100 million trades per day.
Interesting, and could be related.
But I think - just like 1000s of others - I FOMOd in on the speculation something was going to happen. If everyone wants to have in a short term of period more XRP and thereby set higher prices on each new buy order it will rise quickly.
Thanks for this. Accenture has historically had a lot of extremely positive things to say about Ripple, starting 2-3 years ago with the ReiseBank tests.
The price spiked to 76-80 cents on september 21 2018. The daily volume reached 4 Billion from 5-600 million the days before.
Suzie from Esoteric trading solutions made a video on this subject back in december. Speculative, but interesting.
The DTCC part begins at around 8:40 minutes.
Currently, public blockchains supporting crypto-currencies operate at single or double digit per second performance, which until now was the only indication of the potential volume that a private DLT might be able to support.
So, R3 asked Digital Assest to test XRP performance? This does not make any sense to me.
And they clearly mention performance of private DLT, one they used to test this. Isnt xrpl public one?
There is a lot of confusion between blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology.
A DLT is simply a decentralized database that is managed by various participants.
Blockchain is also a shared database – a log of records – but in this case shared by means of blocks that, as the name indicates, form a chain. The blocks are closed by a type of cryptographic signature called a 'hash'.
The press release does not say Accenture used the XRPL to perform this benchmark, but the Corda Settler, which is a private DLT or federated DLT.
DO IT AGAIN and this time don't stop!
This is what I think will happen next. And many will be caught off guard and miss the initial opportunity to buy back in.

Moses Kamau
Moses brings with him a wide range of experience at a non-governmental organization, governance and legal context. He has worked on fair trade, conservation and human rights initiatives over the past 16 years and has also worked on media advocacy for the Kenya Constitution. He has an intrinsic understanding of the governance issues affecting Kenya and the African continent and applies this to the conservation sector. His love for nature and the nurturing, protection and conservation of natural habitats particularly our oceans and marine life led him to LOC where he fell in love with the turtles and the work we do to conserve them and their habitats. Through his experience and passion for wildlife and the places they inhabit in Kenya, Moses adds great passion and expertise to the governance of LOC.
Nicky Parazzi
Founder/Director
In 1997 Nicola Parazzi (Nicky) helped form a group of Watamu residents to take action against increasing human related threats on the marine environment. They were particularly concerned about nesting sea turtles who were unable to successfully lay their eggs due to beach developments and risk of poaching.
Always dedicated to marine conservation, she patrolled the beaches day and night to protect the female sea turtles coming to nest, their eggs and their hatchlings. Nicky then helped to formalise the group's efforts with the launch of 'Watamu Turtle Watch', a programme which still operates under Local Ocean Conservation today.
Watamu Turtle Watch quickly expanded to address another major threat to sea turtles, accidental bycatch in local fishermen's nets, and in 1998 the Sea Turtle Bycatch Release Programme began to reduce sea turtle mortalities in the area.
In 2002, recognising a wider need for community involvement in marine conservation, the name "Local Ocean" was adopted to encourage people to look after their local marine environment.
Today Local Ocean Conservation, with her support, continues to conduct practical conservation efforts as well as encouraging the sustainable use of natural resources through community development, education and campaigning.

Man who mass produced 'street valium' is jailed for four and a half years
Lucinda Cameron, PA Scotland
A man who was involved in turning an industrial unit into a drugs factory capable of mass producing pills worth hundreds of thousands of pounds has been jailed for four and a half years.
Derek Dragsnes, 49, a labourer, from Glasgow, ran the unit in the village of Salsburgh, North Lanarkshire.
He was sentenced at the High Court in Livingston on Monday after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of etizolam, known as street valium, at a hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh last month, the Crown Office said.
Prosecutors said that a lengthy and detailed police search of the premises on Springfield Road in the village uncovered pill-manufacturing equipment spread out over six rooms.
One room contained a pill press machine capable of producing 171,000 tablets per hour while in another room, officers seized 53.3 kilos of white powder containing etizolam.
This quantity alone would have produced more than 300,000 tablets with an estimated street value of £165,600.
Elsewhere, they uncovered 8.1 kilos of blue powder containing etizolam, which could yield 50,700 tablets worth an estimated £25,350, while three other rooms appeared to have been used for the mixing and preparation of the pills.
The court heard that a total of 177,731 tablets of five different designs containing etizolam with an estimated street value of £88,800 were also recovered during the police search.
David Green, Procurator Fiscal for Homicide and Major Crime, highlighted the role prosecutors and partners played in securing a conviction in the case and removing a significant quantity of drugs from the black market.
He said: "This was a co-ordinated effort to detect significant quantities of illegal and harmful drugs.
"This individual is now serving a lengthy prison sentence. The Crown, working with the police, painstakingly built a case to disrupt a network of drug supply.
"With each case of this kind, we can help reduce the harm that these drugs inflict on Scotland's communities.
"We are targeting all people who threaten communities across Scotland, not only drug manufacturers but also those who direct their movements.
"With each case of this kind, we can help reduce the harm these drugs inflict on those communities."
In addition to the tablets containing etizolam, a total of 3,476 tablets of similar appearance to the etizolam tablets and stamped with similar designs, some of which bore the mark "valium" on one side were also recovered and analysed.
Prosecutors said that these tablets did not contain controlled drugs but were clearly designed to be sold as such to unsuspecting buyers.
Dragsnes's scheme was uncovered in October 2021 when police officers arrived at the premises with a search warrant.
They forced entry into the unit, and prosecutors said it was immediately clear that the property was being used as an etizolam lab on a commercial scale.
Further searches of the property, and analysis of the tablets, were then carried out over a period of 16 days.
Dragsnes was later apprehended at his Glasgow home by police officers with a search warrant.
They found three money-counting machines, bank deposit bags, £8,000 in cash in £50 notes and a cardboard box containing a large quantity of mixed notes which was later counted and came to £104,270.

Britain unlawfully issued surveillance warrants for nearly five years - tribunal
The Investigatory Powers Tribunal, which did not mention specific cases or intelligence targets in its written judgment, said there had been "serious failings in compliance" by MI5 from late 2014 to April 2019. Judge Andrew Edis also said the Home Office had failed to make "adequate enquiries" while approving the bulk surveillance warrants from 2016 until April 2019. Human rights groups Liberty and Privacy International, which brought the legal action, said the ruling showed there had been years of rule-breaking by MI5, which was "overlooked" by the Home Office.

Henry Cavill loved 'Aquaman' so much he went for a swim with a fork
It involved using a fork as a trident.

While Henry Cavill's first look as Geralt in the TV adaptation of The Witcher video game did not go down well, his Aquaman impression can stay.
The Justice League star posted a congratulatory Instagram to his superhero co-star Jason Momoa by channeling his box-office smash Aquaman.
SEE ALSO: 'Aquaman' star Jason Momoa challenges Jimmy Fallon to some trident throwing
Cavill, who's usually seen donning a cape as Superman in the DC Extended Universe films, instead took to a body of water — in what weirdly looks like the dead of night — capeless, Lycra-less, and wielding a fork as a trident.
"Channeling the man of the hour, the man of big hugs, big laughs and big pints of Guinness, my man Jason Momoa. How'd I do?" he captioned the post.
"Seriously though," he added, "I just finally got the chance to watch Aquaman here in Hungary. Jason, James and everyone involved in that movie, smashes it out of the (water)park.
"Jason, love you bro, you crushed it."
Aw. And he's right, financially and somewhat critically, with Aquaman smashing box offices around the globe, earning over $822 million and just overtaking fellow Justice League member Wonder Woman in global box office total (Patty Jenkins' film earned $821.8 million globally).
Aquaman kicked the crap out of Justice League at the box office, but hasn't quite smashed 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the highest global box office DC Extended Universe film.
Momoa responded to the post with: "Thank god u were already casted for Superman. I'd be out of a job love u brother. Mahalo for the support."
Cavill's future as Superman remains relatively unclear, with rumours of his departure from the franchise met with rather vague responses from the star himself and Warner Bros in September.
But Momoa took it upon himself to put the rumours to bed at the Aquaman premiere at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre in December, saying Cavill was "absolutely not" leaving the role.
"I just talked to Henry ... He's absolutely not [leaving the character]," he told ET's Melicia Johnson(Opens in a new window). "He loves the character. He's not. One hundred percent."

Several times a year my neighbour, Paul, gets together with his family for some traditional Italian activities: canning tomatoes, making wine, etc… My son, drawn to the activity like ants to a picnic, cannot resist taking part in the work. This year I thought I would wander over and see what was really going on.
Paul was working alone on the second pressing of his grapes. He informed me that if the second pressing is not added to the first, nothing will turn out right. (Don't ask me if that is true… What do I know?) So, he had the semi-squeezed grapes in a wooden "barrel" with spaces between the slats. Then, meticulously, he began to put on the "top," several blocks of wood, and then the actual ratchet mechanism. He placed a metal pole in the ratchet and began to move it slowly back and forth. Seemed easy.
Then, I realized that he had switched to a longer pole, and though the rhythm was the same, I could see that there was more effort involved. "Watch, he said." After a few more strokes, purple-red juice began to leak out the sides and into the catch basin. He invited me to drink some, which I did, immediately wishing I hadn't because it needed to go through the fermentation process. (Where in the world is my toothbrush?!?) It was all very fascinating and I enjoyed spending time getting to know my neighbour.
I have since, in a moment of stupidity, wondered what it would have been like to be the grapes.
Do grapes whine under pressure? I know I do. The first words out of my mouth when squeezed are "God… I hate…!" I'm pretty sure that I sound like Janis from Friends. And you know how annoying she is.
Nice little saying. Difficult process.
The process of refining us, of bring out who we are, is rarely pleasant. God puts us in situations that push us, press us, and back us into corners where stuff comes out. This is illustrated, in an extreme way, in the lives of Joseph's callous siblings. We all think of poor Joseph and the refining he went through. But we forget that the greater journey was taken by his brothers. If you remember, they sell Joseph into slavery. But over the years, they are living with the memory of what they did. There is the unspoken ghost of Joseph haunting the family. Their father's grief is not wholly assuaged. He is a different man. More silent. More broken. They are pressed to such a degree that when Simeon is held in prison, their consciences blurt out that God is bringing them to account.
The massive weight of Heaven is relentlessly pressing down upon them. And under that gravity they are no longer the same people. Where once Reuben was concerned only with himself ("Where can I turn to now?"), he is now willing to risk his own children to get Simeon back. And Judah, once hard and calloused, is now willing to give his own life to free Benjamin and save his father the grief of another beloved son. God has squeezed them over the years and now is pressing them in to make different choices than they did with their younger brother. And this compression brings about the desired effect: they make different choices and are better people than they were. Just like Jacob in his decades away from home. Manipulated, mistreated, and on the run, he "struggles with God" like a cornered animal. Bowing himself and broken, he comes away limping, but a more godly individual. One more committed to the Lord.
The Squeeze. Nobody likes the process. We wiggle, fight and protest. But if we don't give up, He makes us better people.


Make sure the Google Docs ruler is visible.
On the ruler, there is a light blue rectangle at the left margin, which represents the location of the First Line Indent. Beneath the light blue rectangle is a light blue inverted triangle, which represents the location of the Left Indent.
Next: On the ruler, drag the Left Indent (light blue inverted triangle) to the right as far as you want the text to be indented. As you will notice, the First Line Indent marker (light blue rectangle) will come along for the ride, and all your selected text will move to the right.
Finally: Drag the First Line Indent marker (light blue rectangle) back to the left margin. It will move independently, and your hanging indent will be created.

Q: Combine values from n-fields with precedence I have an example table below:
+----+----+------+
|var1|var2|merged|
+----+----+------+
|a   |b   |a     |
+----+----+------+
|    |c   |c     |
+----+----+------+
|    |x   |x     |
+----+----+------+
|c   |d   |c     |
+----+----+------+

I want to merge var1 and var2's values with the rule that whenever var1 has a value, it should be picked over var2.

My code below does not achieve it and I am at a loss on how to implement this.
SELECT id, var1 & var2 AS merged
FROM myTable

All this code does is concatenated var1 and var2's data which is not I want. The one I asked before is not working as desired anymore.
+----+----+------+
|var1|var2|merged|
+----+----+------+
|a   |b   |ab    |
+----+----+------+
|    |c   |c     |
+----+----+------+
|    |x   |x     |
+----+----+------+
|c   |d   |cd    |
+----+----+------+

The one below from this question does not take into account lone values :(

SELECT ID, var1, var2,
  SWITCH (
    var1 IS NOT NULL, var1,
    var2 IS NOT NULL, var2,
  ) AS merged
FROM myTable;

+----+----+------+
|var1|var2|merged|
+----+----+------+
|a   |b   |a     |
+----+----+------+
|    |c   |      |
+----+----+------+
|    |x   |      |
+----+----+------+
|c   |d   |c     |
+----+----+------+

UPDATE
After using the methods provided in the answers, I have seen some of my records achieve what I presented in the first table above. But after looking through the other rows I managed to find ones that were skipped, as presented in the third table.
Below is the code I use and screenshots of the results.
SELECT ID, var1, var2,

      # method 1
      SWITCH (
        var1 IS NOT NULL, var1,
        var2 IS NOT NULL, var2
      ) AS switchResult,

      # method 2
      Nz(var1, var2) AS NzResult,

      # method 3
      Iif(var1 IS NULL, var2, var1) AS IifResult

FROM myTable;

The results here are what I wanted:

Note: ID, var1, var2, switchResult, NzResult, IifResult
are the column names for guide

But as I search for (Blanks) there appears to be failed rows:

It seems that var1's values if var2's missing return correct queries but when var2 does have a value and var1 does not, some rows do not return correct queries.
Does anyone know why this happens? I already checked if var1 and var2 contains whitespace and they do not.

A: try this:
SELECT var1, var2, COALESCE(var1, var2) AS merged
  FROM myTable;

A: You want var1 when it is not Null, and otherwise you want var2.  You can use Nz to get that.
SELECT var1, var2, Nz(var1, var2) AS  merged
FROM myTable;

If you will be running the query from outside an Access session, the Nz function will not be available.  In that case, you can use an IIf expression.
SELECT var1, var2, IIf(var1 Is Null, var2, var1) AS  merged
FROM myTable;

If var1 may contain zero-length strings (""), and you want those treated the same as Null --- meaning return var2 in that situation --- use this query ...
SELECT var1, var2, IIf(Len(var1 & "") = 0, var2, var1) AS  merged
FROM myTable;


A blind man was critically injured when an unprovoked attack on his guide dog caused him to plunge off an Australian pier, The Herald Sun reported Wednesday.
David Correa lost his balance and fell into the water at Hastings pier in Victoria after an uncontrolled dog lunged at his guide dog.
His distraught wife, Flavia, said he was in an induced coma after suffering broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a fractured spine. The 34-year-old recently had both kidney and pancreatic surgery.
Correa and his friend John Quilligan were out walking in Hastings, 36 miles from Melbourne, on Jan. 20 when they encountered another dog on the pier.
Quilligan said the owner grabbed the dog around the neck and pulled it away from Kel, Correa's guide dog.
"David's dog spun around that quickly, he let go of the harness and chain. He spun in the air, flipped and fell into the water," Quilligan said.
A good Samaritan jumped in after him, keeping his head above water until paramedics arrived.

Banking Regulation (Amendment) Bill introduced in Lok Sabha
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman rejected the charge, asserting that state cooperative laws are not being touched and that the proposed law seeks to bring these banks with same regulations that are applicable on other banks. It is applicable to those cooperative banks which deal with "bank, banker and banking," she said.
September 14, 2020, 16:58 IST
The government on Monday introduced in Lok Sabha the Banking Regulation (Amendment ) Bill, which seeks to bring cooperative banks on par with developments in the banking sector through their better management and proper regulation to protect the interests of depositors. Opposition members, including Shashi Tharoor of the Congress and Saugata Roy of the Trinamool Congress, opposed the bill, accusing the Centre of encroaching on the rights of states.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman rejected the charge, asserting that state cooperative laws are not being touched and that the proposed law seeks to bring these banks with same regulations that are applicable on other banks.
It is applicable to those cooperative banks which deal with "bank, banker and banking," she said, adding that as many as 277 urban cooperative banks have reported losses.
Tharoor said the bill is an encroachment on federalism, while Roy claimed it attacks "state rights".
Ruling party members also opposed Roy's personal remarks targeting Sitharaman, with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi demanding his apology.
Speaker Om Birla said Roy's comments have been expunged.
The finance minister also introduced the Factoring Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2020.

Q: Dynamically creating views I want to create a function that takes in an array of text and creates buttons and adds them to the view.
This is my code.
It is working and creating the buttons but when i call the function twice it doesn't create two linear layouts it just shows the last one called as if it is deleting the first one.
How can i make it to create a new linear layout and add it to the View?
// Create a view
protected boolean CreateTheButtons(String[] names)
{
    try
    {
             LinearLayout linLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
             linLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
             LayoutParams linLayoutParam = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
             // set LinearLayout as a root element of the screen
             linLayout.setWeightSum(names.length);
             setContentView(linLayout, linLayoutParam);

             LayoutParams lpView = new LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
             lpView.weight = 1;

             for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {

             Button btn = new Button(this);
             btn.setText(names[i]);
             linLayout.addView(btn, lpView);

             }
             return true;
     }
     catch(Exception ex)
     {

         return false;
     }

}

A:
It is working and creating the buttons but when i call the function
  twice it doesn't create two linear layouts it just shows the last one
  called as if it is deleting the first one.

Your code removes the first LinearLayout resulted from calling the method because you use setContentView()(which will replace the current view of the activity(if any is found) with the view that you pass as a parameter). Instead you should remove the call to setContentView() and insert a holder ViewGroup for the LinearLayouts that you plan to add through that method.
<!-- This will be the content view of the activity -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:id="@+id/parent" />

Set the layout above as the content view for the activity, in the onCreate() method:
setContentView(R.layout.the_layout_above);

In the method you'll then have:
protected boolean CreateTheButtons(String[] names) {
    try {
             LinearLayout linLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
             linLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
             LinearLayout.LayoutParams linLayoutParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
             linLayout.setWeightSum(names.length);
             // assuming this method is in an Activity
             LinearLayout parent = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.parent);
             parent.addView(linLayout, linLayoutParam);

             LayoutParams lpView = new LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
             lpView.weight = 1;

             for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {

             Button btn = new Button(this);
             btn.setText(names[i]);
             linLayout.addView(btn, lpView);
             }
             return true;
     } catch(Exception ex) {
         return false;
     }

}

Nintendo will charge for new Pokémon Sword and Shield content. Some fans aren't happy
The "Pokémon Sword" and "Shield" games are getting new adventures, cuddly creatures and rivals to battle. But Nintendo isn't adding the content for free, and some fans are upset about the cost.
Fans will have to pony up $29.99 for an expansion pass. That's in addition to $60 for each original game. An optional online subscription service costs $19.99 per year.
Pokémon enthusiasts who want both "Sword" and "Shield" expansions will have to pay about $60 in total. New content is coming in June, and more will be added in the fall.
"It's a pretty steep price for a full Pokémon experience," Kori Selnes, 29, a Twitch streamer in Norway who has played Pokémon games for more than 20 years, including "Sword" and "Shield." She told CNN Business that she "used to love the franchise to bits, but the direction it's going now makes me not want to support the companies involved anymore."
Game Freak, which co-owns Pokémon with Nintendo, said in a Thursday announcement that it was the first time Pokémon games were getting a digital expansion instead of being released as standalone games. It's a new strategy for the franchise, although it has already been adopted throughout the video game industry. For example, Nintendo itself has sold expansions for the games "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" for $20 and "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" for $5.99.
"The console games market is continually moving away from being a hits driven business that used to focus on the 'fire and forget' model of shipping a new game every year or two, to one that offers a long term service for a single game," said Daniel Ahmad, a senior analyst at Niko Partners who covers the Asian video games market.
While the Pokémon expansion will feature new regions, characters and more than 200 additional Pokémon, including legendary creatures, some fans complained that Thursday's announcement video on YouTube was thin on story details. More than 80,000 people tuned in to watch.
Dozens of gamers commented on YouTube that they would "go broke" or that their wallets were "crying." Others spammed the thumbs down emoji.
Last year, fans of the game were outraged that not all the Pokémon would be included in the new games. And after the games were released, many noted that the animations and gameplay appeared cheap and overly simplistic.
Some gamers said Game Freak hasn't done enough to convince them to pre-order the expansion.
"It's a major corporation trying to make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible. I'm just voting with my wallet, trying to convince others to do the same," said Jacob Hands, 21, from central Illinois, a FedEx package handler who has played Pokémon for more than 10 years.
Nintendo and Game Freak did not respond to a request for comment. The Pokémon Company declined to comment.
Still, some veteran gamers like the new updates.
"This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think the price of the expansion is fair considering the extra content and story," said 26-year-old Australian Shisir Lama, who's known on Twitch as AuSLove. "I was never outraged to begin with and being outraged does not help anyone."
Technically, those who have already purchased the games can still obtain the 200 new Pokémon through digital updates that will arrive at no additional cost. But they'll need to find players who have bought the expansion and trade with them.
"By no means am I mad at it. In fact, it seems kind of genius," said Austin John, 31, of New Jersey, a longtime Pokémon fan who makes YouTube videos of the franchise. "There are going to be some people who are mad that it still doesn't have all the Pokémon, but some people will always be mad."
Nintendo also announced Thursday that the 15-year-old "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon," a Gameboy Advance title, is being remade for the Switch and will be released March 6. The company gave a February release date for Pokémon Home, a cloud solution for franchise fans to connect all their critters from past games.

I hope it's a simple issue, but I can't see it.

A: It turns out that the mobile jQuery library is separate from the one usually used. Simply add the additional mobile library and its dependencies in your code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0-alpha.1/jquery.mobile-1.2.0-alpha.1.min.css" />

You should also change the protocol of the embedded video from http to https since modern browsers will block insecure http requests.

Output
After I zoomed in,

What I tried

*

*Reference 1 : I read this post and ensured that the spelling of districts in the geojson file match that in the dataframe.

*Uncommenting fig.update_geos(fitbounds="locations", visible=False) outputs a white screen.

*Reference2 : Adding locationmode='country names' as parameter does not do anything.

*Reference 3 :  fig_map.update_layout(geo_scope="africa", geo_resolution=50) does not work because the island Mauritius is not found in this scope.

My goal is to create something similar to this :

A: The problem in my previous code is maybe due to a wrong GeoJSON object/data-file pairing.
Solution
In my case, I can directly pair the name_1 property in my GeoJSON file to the Location column in my dataframe. More info : https://plotly.com/python/choropleth-maps/#indexing-by-geojson-properties
import pandas as pd
import json
import plotly.express as px
import plotly.io as pio
pio.renderers.default = 'browser'  # to show geojson map in web browser

districts = json.load(open("stanford-ph377fn8728-geojson.json", 'r'))
df = pd.read_csv("LocationJobCount.csv", sep='\t')

fig = px.choropleth(df, geojson = districts,
                    featureidkey='properties.name_1',
                    locations='Location',  # column in dataframe which contains districts names
                    color='JobCount',  # data from this column in dataframe is plotted
                    color_continuous_scale="algae",
                    )
fig.update_geos(fitbounds="locations")
fig.show()

This worked but some districts where JobCount is 0 were missing from the map.
I modified my dataframe to include all districts and set 0 as default value :

Psyonix announced today that the free Rocket League update adding Hoops Mode on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC will be released on April 26.
Following the positive community reaction to the "Snow Day" Hockey Mode released late last year, Psyonix's new Hoops mode adds a dynamic basketball twist to the wildly-successful soccer-meets-driving concept. In addition to the mode itself, Rocket League Hoops will also come with a FREE new arena called "Dunk House," where the net itself can be used as a ramp for the ball, and Aerials and wall-play is the key to victory.
The Hoops update also includes an NBA logo flag that can be equipped in any mode.
If you want to get more NBA flags, April 26 also sees the release of the NBA Flag Pack, which costs $1.99 USD and includes the logos of all 30 NBA teams as flags.
More details about next week's update will be revealed over the coming days.
Rocket League recently crossed 14 million players, and will hit retail stores on July 5.
