BOE Approves Tuition Payment For Student Wrestler
By Denise Coffey

A request for high school tuition payment was approved at a recent Board of Education meeting.
Glen and Renee Holden asked the BOE to pay for their son's tuition at E.O.Smith High School in Storrs, CT. The Holden's case underscores what could be an emerging challenge for the Pomfret board.
There is currently one designated high school for Pomfret students: Woodstock Academy. Because it is a designated high school, the town pays tuition and transportation costs for every Pomfret student who attends. Students can also apply to schools that offer programs not offered at WA.
H.H. Ellis Tech is the state school in the area offering career and technical programs. Killingly High School has a Vocational Agricultural program unique in the area. The state pays for students to attend ET and the Vo-Ag program at KHS.
Pomfret partners with Quinebaug Middle College a public magnet high school on the campus of Quinebaug Valley Community College. Students always have the option of attending private schools at their own costs.
When the BOE approves tuition payment for a student to attend a non-designated school, they agree to pay the tuition costs of that school.
Such requests are not common. Superintendent Stephen Cullinan has reviewed four request in his four years in Pomfret. But he said the board looks at the circumstances surrounding all requests when making their decisions.
Ben Holden, who will be a senior this fall, wanted to continue participating on a wrestling team. He's been on the WA team for the past three years and was named a captain last year. In April, WA announced they were dropping the wrestling team from the school's athletic programs. Ben and his family were hoping that his experience and success in wrestling might translate into post-graduate scholarship opportunities. With no team to compete on, his chances were diminished.
Woodstock Academy and E.O. Smith both belong to the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference. Usually there are certain penalties for student athletes who move from one school to another. But because WA dropped its wrestling program, the participation penalties were waived in Holden's case.
Glen Holden said CIAC Executive Director Gregg Simon gave the green light for his son's immediate participation in the E.O.Smith wrestling program.
Tuition at E.O. Smith is $13,014.14, which is $879 dollars less than tuition at Woodstock Academy. The board was unanimous in its approval to pay the cost. Holden will have to get to his new school on his own, however. The town is not responsible for paying the cost of his transportation.
WA is exploring the possibility of moving from the CIAC to the New England Prep School Athletic Council. If they do, more students could be affected. Changes in rules and bylaws could translate into lower participation rates for local students.
BOE Chair Kathleen Cerrone said the athletic changes at WA have impacted several Pomfret families already. "It was devastating news to those who counted on tuition being partially funded by sports experiences," she said, "especially for seniors."

Q: Rails Can't Update Nested Child Resource? I'm working on a project that uses a Rails front-end to send updated data to a Rails back-end.
The form data I'm trying to PATCH includes updated data for the resource, along with updates to a nested, child resource.
In this scenario, a user interacts with a form that contains data for a writer, which has many jobs, all of which are nested within the form as well.
Data contains potential updates to the writer, one/many/all of the writers' jobs, or both.
writer.rb
class Writer < ApplicationRecord
   has_many :jobs, dependent: :destroy, inverse_of: :writer
   has_many :genre_tags, dependent: :destroy
   has_many :genres, :through => :genre_tags

   accepts_nested_attributes_for :genre_tags, allow_destroy: true, reject_if: :all_blank
   accepts_nested_attributes_for :jobs, allow_destroy: true, reject_if: :all_blank
end

job.rb
class Job < ApplicationRecord
   belongs_to :writer, inverse_of: :jobs
   validates_uniqueness_of :outlet_id, scope: [:writer_id]
   validates :outlet_id, presence: true
end

writers_controller.rb
 def update
   @writer = Writer.where(inactive:false).find(params[:id])

   if @writer.update(writer_params)
     render json: {writer: @writer, notice: 'Writer was successfully updated.'}
   else
     render json: {errors:Rails.logger.info(@writer.errors.inspect), status: :unprocessable_entity }
   end

   def writer_params
     params.require(:writer).permit(:f_name,:l_name, :email_personal, :city, :state, :country_id,:twitter, :linkedin, :freelance, :notes, :user_id, jobs_attributes: [:id, :outlet_id, :email_work, :position, :outlet_profile, :key_contact, :_destroy, presstype_tags_attributes: [:id, :presstype_id, :_destroy]], genre_tags_attributes: [:id, :writer_id, :genre_id, :_destroy])
   end

end

The problem is that, when I PATCH this data, I get a validation error:
#<ActiveModel::Errors:0x007fef651e8410 @base=#<Writer id: 2, f_name:  "Chet", l_name:
"Hamper", city: "Las Vegas", state: "NV", country_id: 229,
twitter: "AndreasHale", linkedin: "andreashale",
freelance: false, flagged: nil, inactive: false,
notes: nil, created_at: "2017-02-19 15:38:55",
updated_at: "2017-02-25 16:17:18", user_id: 1,
email_personal: nil, twitter_followers: nil,
personal_website: "N/A">,
@messages={:"jobs.presstype_tags.job_id"=>["can't be blank"],
:"jobs.outlet_id"=>["has already been taken"],
:"genre_tags.genre_id"=>["has already been taken"]},
@details={"jobs.presstype_tags.job_id"=>[{:error=>:blank}], "jobs.outlet_id"=>[{:error=>:taken, :value=>2}],
"genre_tags.genre_id"=>[{:error=>:taken, :value=>6}, {:error=>:taken, :value=>9}, {:error=>:taken, :value=>10}, {:error=>:taken, :value=>11}]}>

Unless I'm mistaken, ActiveRecord is telling me I am trying to create new, nested attributes even though they already exist. I'm not trying to overwrite these records, just to, when they do exist, update their attributes.
Any clues on how I can specify that I'm not trying to overwrite anything?
UPDATE
It turns out the structure of my form data didn't match the jobs_attributes, genre_tags_attributes, and presstype_tags_attributes params, so I wound up restructuring my form to match it exactly, and now it works like a charm!

Photographic work 'Renaissance' shows a series of landscapes in subjects and composition strongly relating to the cultural époque of 15th and 16th century. Although taken in the Austrian Alps or at the seaside nowadays, the images seem to be allusions to Brueghel and other Flemish painters like Joachim Patinir and Lucas van Valckenborch, or to Venetian painters who managed to coalesce figures with landscape for the first time, even let figures move to the picture's margin and finally made landscape an actual topic and genre. Impressed by these famous Renaissance paintings, I examined their perspectival techniques and searched for similarities and differences in today's spatial and landscape perception. In using a Hasselblad film camera with square format she accomplished a different approach, experimenting with perspective and angle of view – and succeeded in creating a seemingly mythological pictorial world, equally subtle and opulent.


The increasing awareness among people has resulted in the increase of several health shops. These health food shops provide full attention to all of the queries and concerns regarding people's health-related difficulties. They promise to enable you in each possible way and help you to find techniques that could enhance your immune system and look after all of your health problems.
It's necessary to be aware that these nutrition and wellness shops don't use pharmacists or physicians, so any proposals based on business claims, client successes or their personal experiences shouldn't be relied upon. It's almost always better to speak with a professional healthcare practitioner to the same.
Prior to going to buy any merchandise from these shops, there are specific things you have to keep in mind. Normally, there are two varieties of nourishment in a bigger perspective. There are natural kinds and artificial forms.
The synthetic form is a whole lot more affordable, has diminished health benefits and may even cause huge side-effects. The majority of the health shop brands utilize synthetic forms to entice an increasing number of individuals with lower prices. These brands are providing all that customer's wants, i.e. low-priced multivitamins.


So many of my students have been working on character traits during ELA instruction. They are just NOT getting it!! After breaking down the skills required in order to comprehend this concept, I noticed that many of my students just weren't understanding the actual adjectives!! They are so used to getting by with "the basics" they could not grasp that some more difficult words could mean the same thing. Soooo that's when I developed a Valentine's Day themed activity called….Monster vs Cupid. My students read the clues and had to decide which adjective best fit that description. Then they had to use their "evidence" to decide which character was being described. They placed the adjective heart in that cup. I used a red solo cup because why not, its red and its perfect for sorting!
Valentine's Day Why Questions Fun! FREEBIE!


Create custom site templates by simply pointing at a site model.
Persist the model as a provisioning template.
Apply the custom template to new or existing site collections as needed.
Design and model your site customization. This can be a new site design, or you can point to an existing site and save it as a provisioning template.
Save and persist the site model as a provisioning template so that you can reuse it.
Apply the provisioning template to a new or existing site collection.
This sample walkthrough is a companion to a sample currently available on GitHub at Getting Started with the PnP provisioning engine. The code (Program.cs) and solution files for the sample are available for download. There also is a 20-minute video presentation of this process (with slightly different code) available on the Microsoft Channel 9 site, Getting Started with the PnP provisioning engine.
To begin, create a Visual Studio project. In this sample, for simplicity, we create a basic console application that implements the PnP provisioning engine by using the PnP Core library of the provisioning framework. To support the sample solution, however, we must download and install the provisioning framework for the PnP Core library.
Open Visual Studio, and then choose File > New > Project.
In the New Project Wizard, choose Visual C#, and then choose Console Application.
Download and install the PnP Core library that is available as a NuGet package at OfficeDevPnP.Core packages.
There are three versions of the library. One version is the SharePointPnPCoreOnline library, which targets SharePoint Online and Office 365. The other versions are SharePointPnPCore2013 and SharePointPnPCore2016 , which target SharePoint on-premise versions 2013 and 2016 respectively.
Install the NuGet client by going to the NuGet client installer.
After the NuGet client is installed, run the NuGet Package manager. Right-click the References node in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, and then select Manage NuGet Packages.
In the Package Manager, choose Browse, and then enter the search term SharePoint PnP to expose the SharePointPnPCoreOnline library.
Follow directions to download and install the SharePointPnPCoreOnline library, following the given directions.
After the PnP Core library is referenced in your Visual Studio project, all library members are available to you as extension methods on existing object instances, for example, web and list instances.
Ensure that your Program.cs file contains all of the following using statements.
After your project is set up, you can create your site customizations. You can do this manually or by pointing to a site whose design you wish to use. Simply save the chosen site design as a provisioning template, or you can use a mix of both approaches. For the purpose of this sample, we will simply point to an existing site and save its composed look and site artifacts (but not its content) as a provisioning template.
To begin, we need to connect to the site that we wish to model as our provisioning template. Let's start by gathering connection information, including user name, password, and the source URL.
Collect connection information from the user. Note that in the program's Main routine, we do three simple things: collect connection information, GET the provisioning template, and APPLY the provisioning template. The heavy lifting is done by the GetProvisioningTemplate and ApplyProvisioningTemplate methods that we define next.
Create and use a private GetInput method to obtain the required user credentials.
Point to the site that's the model for our provisioning template. While doing the GET on the source site with a single line of code, look at GetProvisioningTemplate(), which is the GET method we defined.
In the previous code snippet, we also defined a ProvisioningTemplateCreationInformation variable, pcti. The variable gives us the option to store information about artifacts that we can save along with the template.
Create a file system connector object so that we can store a temporary copy of the provisioning template that we're going to apply to another site.
This step is optional. It's not required that you serialize the provisioning template to XML. At this stage, the template is simply C# code. Not only is serialization optional, but you also can use whatever serialization format you wish.
(Optional) Save and store a serialized version of the provisioning template so that you can reuse it. You can serialize the provisioning template in whichever format you prefer. In this sample, we serialized to an XML file named PnPProvisioningDemo.xml. The file itself is an XMLFileSystemTemplateProvider object for which we provided a file system location.
After we extract, save, and persist the provisioning template, the next and final step is to apply the provisioning template to a new SharePoint site collection by using the ApplyProvisioningTemplate method.
Obtain credentials to the target site.
Capture site artifacts that were stored using the ProvisioningTemplateCreationInformation method by using the companion method, ProvisioningTemplateApplyingInformation.
Get an association to the file connector for the assets.
(Optional) Because the provisioning template is an object instance, we can write code to customize site artifacts on the fly. In this instance, we're adding a new "contact" list.
Apply the provisioning template to the new site, again using one line of code.

Domain-Driven Design modelling for Agile teams, Brandolini-style.
Event Storming is a technique where you get the developers and the business stakeholders in a room, and visualize the business processes. You do this using stickies with domain events and causality (such as commands), and end with drawing boundaries for aggregates, bounded contexts and subdomains. It's developed by Alberto Brandolini and is deeply rooted in Domain Driven Design, and CQRS/ES.
I facilitated an Event Storming session with the team of Qandidate.com in Rotterdam. I've read an early draft of Alberto's paper on Event Storming, that inspired most of what I did. It was my first time doing this as a facilitator, so I'd thought I'd share my notes. It's just the raw material – I was going to process them into something more readable first, but Jef Claes convinced me to just post them as is. So forgive me if they are vague; I promise I will blog about Event Storming more later.
Despite my rookie mistakes (too much intervention, then too little) the whole thing went very well. The team was very excited, they want to do it again with their founders. We also did a bit of context mapping for the legacy systems of their parent company, but time ran out.
Learning how to model and think about modelling.
Is there something missing here? Why is there a gap?
How does the business evaluate that this is working? What are the targets, how will we know we've reached them?
For whom is this event of importance (end user, business, tenant,…) ?
I can't see this particular role, or type of user, in this model. Should they be on here somewhere?
Change the direction, e.g. start at the end of the flow, move back in time, then later start at the beginning and move forward.
Interrupt long discussions. Visualise both opinions, and, very important: ask both parties if they feel their opinion is accurately represented.
Timebox, using pomodoro's (25 minutes). After each pomodoro, ask what is going well and what isn't. It's a good opportunity to move to the next phase (e.g. from adding events to adding causality, to drawing aggregate boundaries). You may want to move on even if you don't feel the model is complete.
Constantly move stickies to create room for hotspots.
Hang red stickies with exclamation marks, question marks, or other notes, anywhere you feel there's an issue.
At the end, make a photo. Then tell them to throw the model away, and to do it over the next day. If possible in the presence of other stakeholders.
I personally prefer sentence-style event names ("A product was added to a basket" vs "Product added to basket"). I believe this makes the business people feel more comfortable.

What Are Class Action Lawsuits And How Can You Join One?
Class action lawsuits are those pursued by groups of consumers who have been similarly injured by a product or action. These groups of consumers are referred to as a class.
Consumers often decide to consolidate their complaints because it would be impractical or impossible to file individual lawsuits. In some cases, the plaintiffs sustained only minor injuries, so they might not be able to pursue lawsuits on their own.
There are several things you need to know about class action lawsuits.
Types Of Class Action Lawsuits
There are numerous types of class action cases, including:
Lawsuits filed by groups of consumers after large-scale accidents, such as a train or airplane crash
Claims involving homeowners who suffered property damage from a natural disaster, like a storm
Lawsuits from consumers who were deceived by the marketing of a product
Lawsuits from a class of employees who suffered discrimination by an employer
Consumers who lost savings due to corporate fraud by executives at a publicly-traded company
Consumers can also form a class to file a lawsuit over a defective product, drug or medical device. Some of the defective product class actions pursued by O'Connor, Acciani & Levy include:
Bair Hugger warming blanket
How To Join A Class Action Lawsuit
If you are affected by the decision in a class action, you are entitled to notification of the action. While it is not always possible to notify all qualifying parties, best efforts are made to do so.
If you are notified that you are part of a class that is pursuing a lawsuit, you can join by opting into the legal action.
In some situations, class members are automatically classed together and are unable to opt out, such as when the action concerns injuries caused by certain defendants.
Why Join A Class Action Lawsuit?
Joining a class action lawsuit allows plaintiffs to consolidate attorneys and resources. This makes a class action more practical, efficient and cost-effective than each plaintiff pursuing a case on his or her own.
If you pursue a case on your own, the defendant could be bankrupted before you have a chance to go to trial or reach a settlement.
Joining a class action with an experienced class action attorneys helps to ensure you receive some amount of damages. However, the amount of compensation you receive from a class action verdict or settlement will likely be smaller than what you would receive in an individual lawsuit.
How Are Class Action Attorneys Compensated?
Class action attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, just like a personal injury attorney. That means attorneys receive a portion of the money recovered in the case. However, if the case is unsuccessful, the attorneys are usually paid nothing.
Filing A Class Action Lawsuit
When a class action lawsuit is filed, the first step is for the court to decide if the lawsuit is valid, using a process called class certification.
If the class is certified, the plaintiffs and defendants will proceed toward trial. At any point, either side may attempt to settle the claim. However, the court must approve the settlement. Once approved, the court will issue an order demanding that all class action members be notified.
The attorneys of O'Connor, Acciani & Levy have the experience and legal knowledge you need to file a successful class action lawsuit. We work to hold companies accountable while pursuing the highest amount of compensation possible for our clients.

Florence man pleads not guilty in 'Pay It Forward' GoFundMe scam
MOUNT HOLLY — The final suspect in the "Pay It Forward" GoFundMe scam that raised more than $400,000 from online donors worldwide continues to maintain his innocence.
Mark D'Amico, 39, of Florence, pleaded not guilty to half a dozen criminal charges Tuesday during his arraignment in Superior Court before Judge Terrence R. Cook. He remains free on conditional release pending trial, authorities said.
A status conference in the case is scheduled for July.
D'Amico has been described as the alleged mastermind in the online scam, which was built around a phony tale of Philadelphia homeless man Johnny Bobbitt coming to the rescue of D'Amico's former girlfriend, Kate McClure, after she ran out of gas off I-95 in Philadelphia.
The tale went viral and the campaign ended up raising $402,766 from more than 14,000 online donors.
Bobbitt and McClure have both pleaded guilty to federal and state crimes related to their roles in the scam, with McClure describing her former boyfriend as the leader of the group and the one who concocted the fake story about Bobbitt assisting her. Her attorney has also said he had control of the money raised from the fundraiser.
Bobbitt pleaded guilty in March to state charges of conspiracy and theft by deception and was sentenced to five years of probation conditional on him successfully completing the county's drug court program. McClure pleaded guilty in April to theft by deception and is expected to be sentenced to a four-year prison term in June as part of a plea-agreement with prosecutors.
Both McClure and Bobbitt have agreed to assist prosecutors and testify against D'Amico if his case goes to trial, authorities said. The two must also help make restitution for the money raised from the online donors. GoFundMe has already refunded all donors.
Unlike McClure and Bobbitt, D'Amico has not been charged with any federal crimes. His state indictment, which was returned by a county grand jury earlier this month, charges him with several criminal offenses, including theft by deception, conspiracy and computer and financial crimes.
The indictment charges him with helping to create and promote the now infamous "Pay It Forward" campaign on GoFundMe with the phony tale of Bobbitt coming to McClure's aid in Philadelphia and using his last $20 to purchase her a gas can. While the campaign listed a goal of $10,000 to provide Bobbitt with rent for an apartment and a reliable vehicle, among other things, the incoming funds far exceeded that target and wound up being quickly spent by McClure and D'Amico on gambling and personal items, including a BMW, a New Year's trip to Las Vegas, a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon and designer handbags.
An investigation into the case began last year after Bobbitt filed a lawsuit accusing McClure and D'Amico of mismanaging the campaign's proceeds and possibly spending a large portion of the money on themselves.
The criminal investigation was launched in early September after the couple's attorney revealed that all of the money had been expended.
Prosecutors have said D'Amico worked as a carpenter, but a probable cause statement released after his November arrest revealed he reported earning $15,417 in 2015, the last year he filed a state income tax return.
In a September interview with ABC News, Bobbitt said D'Amico was a "self-described gambling addict."
Investigators allege that bank records show "extensive casino gambling play" in person at casinos in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Las Vegas as well as online gaming and sports book wagering, and that both D'Amico and McClure had player cards from multiple casinos.


Mitt Romney says a recent airplane scuffle with a rap star "broke my hair."
The 2008 Republican presidential contender joked about the confrontation Tuesday on the "Late Show with David Letterman."
Romney says rapper Sky Blu ignored the instruction "we've all heard 10,000 times" to put his seat back upright, so the former Massachusetts governor "tapped him on the shoulder and reminded him of that direction."
Blu is a member of LMFAO and the grandson of Motown founder Berry Gordy. His real name is Skyler Gordy. He says Romney clasped him with a "Vulcan grip" on the Air Canada flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles, so he reacted instinctively by lashing back at him.
The highly gelled Romney says: "He gave a good swat — and broke my hair."
Romney also says he'll "keep the door open" to another run in 2012. And he calls potential rival Sarah Palin "terrific."

Justia Patents US Patent for Method for accurately updating positional information provided on a digital map Patent (Patent # 4,891,761)
Method for accurately updating positional information provided on a digital map
Mar 31, 1988 - Mets, Inc.
A method and system for updating a digitized map. An operator-controlled vehicle provided with an onboard computer and a navigational transmitter unit is dispatched to a location provided on the map near to an unknown location. The vehicle would then traverse the segment between the known intersection and an unknown intersection while it is being tracked by the navigational tracking unit. When the unit reaches the unknown intersection, the address range as well as the street names of the intersection are verbally inputted into the system. The information collected by the computer is then inputted to the central computer which edits this information and updates its central file to produce a new updated version of the digital map.

COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR CREATING NANOSCALE SURFACE GEOMETRY ON AN IMPLANTABLE DEVICE
Throughout history, surveyors and mapmakers utilized immovable objects or monuments as reference points for the generated survey or map. Although these monuments were generally thought to be immobile, it has recently been determined that, due to the shifting of the earth's crust and similar movements, the actual latitude/longitude coordinates of these monuments have changed. The utilization of satellite positioning systems has indicated that several of these long-standing monuments have moved, in some cases several miles, since the initial determination of their latitude/longitude coordinates. Therefore, errors could result in constructing a survey or a map without periodically updating the exact latitude/longitude coordinates of the monuments.
Additionally, it has been determined that the present method of creating a map results in a map which is accurate to 50 feet in the center of the map and to 200 feet on the outside edges of the map. The reasons for these inaccuracies are not only due to the employment of inaccurately designated monuments, but rather to the methods utilized to create the modern-day map. Typically, maps have been created by aerial photography techniques, whereby an airplane would canvas, and take a plurality of photographs of, a certain geographic area. The largest inaccuracy resulting from this technique was that the angle of the camera and the lens utilized referenced to the surface of the earth would create distortions. This was true regardless of whether an actual or an infrared picture of the area was taken. Additional inaccuracies resulted since a flat map was created from a curved surface, thereby causing an inherent distortion of the map.
This aerial photography technique has largely been replaced by orbiting or geostationary satellites. The orbiting satellites would take a single sweep across an area, record an image and then take additional scans over adjacent areas, and images are produced in a manner such as that displayed on a television screen. However, regardless of the fact that a digitized image was being produced, a flat map was still being produced from a curved surface. Additionally, since the orbiting satellite was moving at a relatively great speed, further inaccuracies resulted. While a geostationary satellite would not produce inaccuracies due to the movement of the satellite relative to the earth, distortions due to the curvature of the earth were still produced.
Generally, if the mapmaker's purpose was to create a road or terrain map where the relative positions of roads, towns or physical formations were important, the distortion inaccuracies inherent in the mapmaking procedure were relatively unimportant, as long as the relative positions were consistent. However, quite recently, the need for tracking a particular vehicle and displaying the position of the vehicle on a digitized map more accurately than the distortion factor produced by state-of-the-art maps has been recognized. The Assignee of the present invention has developed a system, described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,651,157 for tracking a vehicle. One of the purposes of the invention described in the aforementioned patent was to quite accurately track the position of a vehicle, such as a police car, taxi, ship or similar vehicle or vessel, as it traverses city streets or marine channels and rivers. The patent describes a system in which a computer-generated digital map is provided on a display screen, and the position of the tracked vehicle is projected onto this map. Quite obviously, if the particular map is accurate to only 50 feet, the position of the tracked vehicle would not be accurately displayed on the projected map. Instead of the position of the automotive vehicle being properly shown on a particular street or road, the map might indicate that this vehicle is in the middle of a field or within a permanent structure, such as a building.
Therefore, a method of accurately displaying the position of the vehicle on a map, regardless of the inherent inaccuracy of the produced digitized map, has been developed. This display technique would then be able to be utilized in conjunction with the tracking system described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,651,157.
The above-noted method and system is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 801,612, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,791,572 filed on Nov. 20, 1985 which describes a method of displaying the position of various vehicles or vessels on a generated map much more accurately than any known method of display, regardless of any distortion or error produced by the map itself.
Initially, a digitized street or terrain map is produced utilizing state-of-the-art techniques and inputted into a computer provided with a display screen. Before the digitized map is displayed, the exact coordinates of a plurality of reference monuments are determined utilizing various known techniques, such as laser surveying. The exact coordinate system employed in the present invention is unimportant as long as a consistent system is used. For the sake of simplicity, the invention will be further described with respect to a latitude/longitude coordinate system, although it is noted that the state plane coordinate system, or any other coordinate system, could be utilized. Thereafter, the exact latitude/longitude coordinates of the reference monuments are inputted into the computer's memory in the form of a table of geographical reference coordinate data referenced to the digitized map, thereby allowing the exact position of the reference monuments to be displayed on the digitized map. Although this table of data is not generally used to produce a map to be displayed on the computer screen, if this information were to be used to produce a map, this map would be composed of a first series of parallel lines and a second series of parallel lines perpendicular to the first series of parallel lines. After this information has been provided to the computer, the position of each of these reference monuments is determined by navigational tracking techniques such as the land or sea-based LORAN-C Navigational System. Additionally, it should be noted that any navigational system from which positional information can be derived could be used with the method of the present invention. These systems could be used with air-borne transmitters carried aloft by balloons or ultimately, satellites may be employed for this purpose. The latitude/longitude coordinates determined by the navigational system utilized are compared to the exact latitude/longitude coordinates previously discovered. Since it is quite unlikely that these two sets of coordinates for each of the monuments would be equal, a correction factor is derived based upon these sets of coordinates. This correction factor is inputted into the system computer.
Utilizing the LORAN-C information received for all of the monuments, a table of positional data is produced bridging the digitized map with the latitude/longitude map. This table is inputted into the system computer. Although this table of data is not generally used to produce a map to be displayed on the computer screen, if this information were to be used to produce a map, the map would be composed of a plurality of parallel curved lines formed in a grid-like pattern. The correction factor previously determined is used to update the table of positional data previously compiled and would then effectively distort or skew the aforementioned plurality of parallel curved lines which would be produced if the positional data would be used to produce a displayed map in such a manner that each of the monuments would be precisely displayed at its actual location on the displayed digitized street or terrain map. At this point, the method of the present invention would display the position of a tracked vehicle more accurately than has been presently accomplished.
However, the position of the tracked vehicle can be displayed still more accurately by dispatching various vehicles which are in communication with the central station and traverse the geographical area to be mapped and displayed. As previously implied, both vehicles or vessels can be utilized and tracked, but for simplicity, the term vehicle will be construed to include vessels or even aircraft. These vehicles are in voice communication with the monuments or a central station, verbally indicating the exact physical position of the vehicle to the central station as well as transmitting navigational tracking information received by LORAN-C transmitters to the central station.
This newly received information is used to produce a second correction factor by comparing the exact physical location of each of the vehicles with the position of the vehicle determined by the standard LORAN-C navigational techniques known in the art. This second correction factor is used to again update the table of positional data and this data is used to produce a transparent layer map, and then the curved grid lines produced by such a map would be distorted and skewed, but the position of the vehicles would be correlated with the latitude/longitude coordinate system to accurately display the position of the vehicle on the street or terrain map.
In operation, any vehicle being tracked by the system of the present invention would be accurately displayed on the street or terrain map by positioning the vehicle on the distorted and skewed transparent layer map and then projecting this position onto the street or terrain map. Since the LORAN-C signals received from the LORAN-C transmitters by the monuments are constantly being distorted, the exact position of each monument is constantly compared to the position of each monument determined by the LORAN-C triangulation techniques and additional correction factors are continually being derived. These factors are used to distort or skew the grid lines of the transparent layer map even further, and it can be shown that this map is virtually in a constant state of flux. Alternatively, this additional information could be used to slightly distort or "rubber sheet" the digitized street or terrain map without altering the transparent map.
While the system described hereinabove produces a very accurate map, a method is still needed which can be utilized to update the information initially displayed on the map. For example, a method is needed to input information based upon newly-created landmarks, streets, subdivisions and the like. Additionally, a method must be developed in which incorrect or outdated information provided on the map can be changed to correctly display the proper information on the map.
Furthermore, a method must be developed in which a digital map can be "conflated" with a second map provided with additional information. This conflation technique would be especially appropriate in situations where it is required that the digital map contain address or zip code information correlating the particular position on the map with its respective address range or zip code.
Additionally, a method must be developed in which the information relating to the particular location of each of the vehicles can be displayed in tabular form on the display. This information can be displayed regardless of whether the first digital map is conflated with a second map or whether the conflated map has been updated. Furthermore, a method must be developed in which information provided in the conflated map relating to particular addresses, vehicle locations, and landmark locations are displayed in a tabular manner.
The aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art are overcome by the use of the present invention which describes a method of updating the information displayed on a digitally-generated map. Since it is contemplated that the digital map will be displayed on a computer associated display screen provided in a central facility, wherein the location of a plurality of vehicles is accurately displayed, it is imperative that the geographical area which is displayed on the digital map remain accurate. Therefore, a method must be developed in which data representing newly-created geographical areas such as subdivisions and newly-created streets must be inputted into the data base used to generate the digitally-displayed map.
The method embodied in the present invention is utilized to update the information stored in the computer used to generate the map display. Once it has been established that a portion of the map is either outdated or incomplete, an operator in a vehicle provided with a transmitter such as a LORAN-C transmitter is dispatched to a particular geographic location. The operator of the vehicle is in voice communication with the central facility, and the LORAN-C transmitter is also in communication with this central facility. A computer on the vehicle is connected to the LORAN-C transmitter and is logged on at a particular nodal point. Once this is accomplished, the vehicle would traverse a particular street until it has reached a second nodal point or the conclusion of a particular geographical segment, at which point the computer is logged off. The information provided in the on-board computer memory based upon the vehicle "run" in this new area is dumped to the central facility computer via a modem, disk or similar data transfer media. The program at the central facility would then convert this data to latitude/longitude coordinates, if necessary, and then to state plane coordinates. The data is then converted to a format in which tabular information, such as names and addresses, is extracted. This information is then merged with the data of the existing map files, and therefore a new map containing updated street information as well as newly-created names and address ranges is provided in the memory of the computer which can then be utilized to display the information on a screen.
The novel features of the present invention, as well as the invention itself, will be better understood from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein,

The present application describes a system utilizing a LORAN-C transmitting network to provide the raw data used with a known triangulation computation technique for positively indicating the position of various reference monuments as well as the position of the vehicles which are to be tracked and displayed on a display screen. Generally speaking, a typical LORAN-C system includes a master transmitting station and at least two, but preferably four "slave" transmitters. The master station transmits a coded series of pulses used to synchronize the operation of the "slave" transmitters. After a predetermined coding delay, each "slave" transmitter will transmit a group of coded pulses. A LORAN-C receiver placed upon the vehicle and the reference monuments would receive both the signals transmitted by the master as well as all of the signals transmitted by the "slave" transmitters. Since the exact latitude/longitude coordinates of each of these stations is known, the time delays (TD's) between the transmissions by the "slave" transmitters and the receipt of these signals by the vehicle are used, through the standard triangulation technique, to determine the exact latitude/longitude coordinates of the vehicle or the monuments. In this context, it should be noted that the exact coordinates of the vehicle are not determined utilizing software provided within a computer onboard the vehicle, but all the computations using the received TD's are accomplished at a central station.
The present application contemplates a system in which each of the reference monuments is an antenna, or is attached to an antenna, and these monuments will now be referred to as antenna monuments. However, it should be noted that the present invention would operate with equal facility if the reference monuments were not antennas.
Since the LORAN-C transmitters transmit a ground wave of relatively low frequency (between 90 and 110 KHz), the accuracy of the system is compromised because the signal is affected by the terrain over which it travels. Therefore, unless the information received by the antenna monuments is corrected, the exact location of the vehicle, as calculated utilizing the aforementioned triangulation techniques, would be inaccurate. Upon installation, the exact latitude and longitude coordinates of each of the antenna monuments are determined by standard techniques, such as laser surveying. The latitude/longitude coordinates for each antenna monument will be referenced as to the actual coordinates. Each antenna is provided with a LORAN-C receiver and receives the same navigational pulses generated by the LORAN-C transmitters received by the vehicles. The navigational pulses received by these fixed antenna monuments are used to determine the latitude/longitude coordinates of the specific antenna monument. These coordinates will be referred to as the derived coordinates. The derived coordinates of the antenna monuments are compared with the actual coordinates for each of the antenna monuments, and a correction factor is then derived at the central station which is used in conjunction with the TD's transmitted from each vehicle to the central station for automatically determining the exact position of each tracked vehicle with great accuracy. According to the present application as illustrated with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2, a street or terrain map of a particular geographical area is produced and either subsequently digitized or is digitized during the production of the map. This information is then inputted into the memory of a computer 12 provided at a central station through techniques well known in the art in such a manner that the map could be visually displayed upon the display screen 14 of the computer. A plurality of locations provided in the geographical area will then be designated as monument reference points. Antennas 16, 18 and 20 will be designated as these monument reference points. Although three antennas are shown in FIG. 2, it can be appreciated that many antennas can be utilized and that the accuracy of the displayed map will increase as a greater number of antennas is used. These antennas are constructed to receive the TD's 22, 24, 26 generated by the LORAN-C transmitters, as well as transmitting information to the central station antenna 10. This information can be transmitted using RF waves or electrical wires. The actual latitude/longitude reference points for each of the antenna monuments are determined through known techniques, such as laser surveying.
Once the actual latitude/longitude reference points for each of the antenna monuments are determined, a table of geographical reference coordinates is compiled and inputted into the computer's memory and is referenced to the data used to compile the digitized street or terrain map.
Although this latitude/longitude data is not generally used to produce a map to be displayed on the computer screen, if this information were to be used to produce a map, this map would be composed of a first series of parallel lines and a second series of parallel lines as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. This geographical reference map could be used to accurately display the exact position of each antenna monument on the street or terrain map. Since the digitized street or terrain map is itself inaccurate, this map and the latitude/longitude map can be correlated to display each antenna monument at its physically correct location on the digitized map. The computer inputting steps as well as the correlation technique are known in the art and will not be explained further.
The LORAN-C TD's received by each of the antenna monuments 16, 18, 20 and transmitted to the central station are used to produce a table of positional data which acts as a correlation bridge between the digitized map and the latitude/longitude reference map. As initially produced and shown in FIG. 3, this table of positional data, while not usually utilized as a visual map, if plotted and displayed on the display screen would produce a map 32 containing a grid-like pattern of equally spaced, smooth, curved TD lines. However, since this initial table of positional data was developed through the use of the inherently inaccurate LORAN-C received transmissions, the position of the antenna monument itself or the tracked vehicle which would appear in this table of positional data, would not be properly positioned when displayed on the street or terrain map. Therefore, the central station compares the positional signals received from each of the antenna monuments with the actual position of each of the antenna monuments and applies a correction factor to the received positional information to produce a derived position for each of the antenna monuments. These derived position coordinates in conjunction with the correction factor are used to skew or distort the curved grid lines which could be constructed using the table of positional data and would be useful in displaying the derived coordinates of the antenna monuments or any tracked vehicle more accurately onto the displayed street or terrain map. This updating of the table of positional data would result in non-smooth and non-parallel grid lines.
Please note that the system described in the present application would operate with equal facility if the central station calculated the derived coordinates for each of the antenna monuments and then produced the initial table of positional data prior to determining the first correction factor.
The map which has now been produced after correcting the table of positional data based upon the derived antenna monument positions would more accurately display a tracked vehicle thereon than any known mapping and displaying technique. However, unless a second correction technique is employed, this particular mapping and displaying system could still not be adequately utilized to track a vehicle in a city street or a vessel in inland waterways. This is true since the vehicle and vessel would be transmitting their received TD's to the central station and these TD's would be inaccurate due to distortions in the immediate area of the vehicle. These distortions are caused by magnetic fields, electrical wires, tall buildings and the difference of the propagation rate of the LORAN-C signals over water versus over land. The present system overcomes this distortion problem by dispatching a plurality of vehicles to traverse the geographical area encompassed by the map. These vehicles would transmit the TD's received by the LORAN-C transmitters to the central station at various locations in the geographical area or sector. Simultaneously, each vehicle would be in voice communication with the central station and would positively indicate its physical location (such as a particular intersection or other physical monument). The central computer 12 would then coordinate the derived position of each of the vehicles as calculated utilizing the standard triangulation technique with the actual position of the vehicles as verbally reported to the central station. The computer 12 would then utilize this information and further update the table of positional data and create a transparent map layer having considerably skewed and distorted grid lines which could now be employed to positively coordinate the position of each vehicle with respect to the street or terrain map. Once this second correction step is completed, any vehicle which is tracked by the system would be accurately and precisely displayed on the street map displayed by the computer.
Additionally, it should be noted that the relative location of each of the antenna monuments would constantly be altered due to various atmospheric conditions. Therefore, the position of each of these monuments with respect to the transparent layer map must be constantly updated, and the TD lines provided on this map are constantly being changed on the order of from every two to three seconds, to every several minutes. Once the derived location of each of the antenna monuments is redetermined, this location is used to further skew or distort the TD lines provided on the transparent layer map. Since the local distortion factors are relatively constant, it would not be necessary to continually dispatch vehicles to provide the information needed to produce the second correction factor. Rather, these vehicles would be dispatched on the order of every six months to a year or if it has independently been determined that these local distortion factors have dramatically been altered.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show graphical representations of the street or terrain map 30 displayed on the display screen 14 as well as the representation of the table of positional data 32, the transparent layer map 34 and the representation of the table of geographical reference coordinates 36. FIG. 3 illustrates a display if the method of the present invention is not employed and FIG. 4 shows a display utilizing the method of the present invention. As previously indicated, a digitized map 30 of an area is produced and inputted into the computer at a central station. Additionally, the actual latitude/longitude position of a number of antenna monuments 38, 40 and 42 are determined and a table of geographical reference coordinates is developed as represented by the grid 36 which shows the actual position of each of the antenna monuments thereon. Please note that this latitude/longitude map 36 is graphical, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, but is not actually displayed on the display screen 14. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the digitized map 30 and the graphical representation of the latitude/longitude map 36 do not change.
After information relating to the digitized map 30 and the latitude/longitude map 36 are introduced to the computer, a graphical representation 32 of the table of positional data can be produced using the time delay information relayed to the central station from the antenna monuments 38, 40 and 42. As shown in FIG. 3, this graphical representation 32 consists of a number of equally spaced, smooth, curved lines. However, please note that this map 36 is merely a graphical representation and is not meant to be displayed on the display screen. Therefore, if the method of the present invention is not utilized, the position of vehicles 44, 46 and 48 as determined by the standard triangulation techniques based upon information transmitted to the central station by the vehicles and the LORAN-C transmissions received by the central station is shown on graphical representation 32, and if the positions of these vehicles are projected onto the street or terrain map 30, as shown by the dashed lines, they would be inaccurately depicted, since all of the vehicles are assumed to be on a street or thoroughfare and not in the middle of property, as shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 4 shows a graphical representation of a street and terrain and various vehicles depicted thereon after the various correction factors have been accomplished according to the method of the present application. As previously described, the street and terrain map 30 as well as the table of geographical reference coordinates as represented by the map 36 are not changed. However, after the various correction factors are accomplished, the grid lines of the transparent layer map 34 are markedly different than the grid lines of the graphical representation 32. Therefore, when the positional information generated by vehicles 44, 46 and 48 is now received by the central station and depicted on the transparent layer map 34, as shown in FIG. 4, the position of these vehicles will now be correctly shown on the street and terrain map 30.
A second embodiment of the system described in the present application is shown in FIG. 5. The first embodiment of the invention as discussed hereinabove recites a method of producing an accurate positional display of a particular vehicle or vehicles by producing a table of positional data and manipulating and updating this data to produce a transparent map layer used to accurately display positional data on a digitized map without altering the data used to construct the digitized map after the data is inputted into the computer. This second embodiment produces an accurate display by slightly distorting or skewing the digitized street and terrain map.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 5, the methods of both embodiments are exactly the same until the updated derived position of each antenna monument based upon the receipt of additional LORAN-C time delays is determined. Under most atmospheric conditions, the updated derived positional information of each antenna monument would virtually equal the original derived antenna monument position and the corrected transparent layer would almost be identical to the original transparent layer. In this situation, it is possible to provide an accurate display by correcting this slight change of the derived antenna monument position by manipulating the data used to generate the digitized street and terrain map and not the data used to generate the transparent map layer. Therefore, the projected digitized street or terrain produced by the method of the second embodiment would be slightly skewed or distorted with respect to the original digitized map.
A threshold level is provided in the computer and if the correction factor relating to the updated derived position of the antenna monuments is greater than this level, thereby indicating a large change in the derived position, the transparent map layer will be updated. However, if this threshold level is not exceeded, the digitized map will be altered. Additionally, dependent upon the particular correction factor determined, both the transparent map layer as well as the digitized map would change.
The map generated with respect to the method illustrated in FIGS. 1-5 produces a very accurate display representation of a geographical area. However, if this map were to be utilized with various services such as overnight couriers, police and fire departments, taxi companies, the U.S. Postal Service or the like, an improved usage would result if zip codes or address ranges of the streets displayed thereon could be included. In this manner, a central dispatcher would be able to positively locate the position of a vehicle with respect to the specific addresses.
Information relating to the addresses and zip codes of particular geographical locations is presently available in a Bureau of Census file designated as Dual Independent Map Encoding (DIME). A technique has been generated by the Bureau of Census to conflate or merge the DIME file with a map similar to the one generated according to the technique described with respect to FIGS. 1-5. This technique would generate a highly accurate digitized map of a particular geographical area including the address ranges of the street included therein. This conflation technique is described in an article entitled "Match Criteria for Automatic Alignment" authored by Barbara Rosen and Alan Saalfeld and in an article entitled "Conflation: Automated Map Compilation--A Video Game Approach--" authored by Maureen P. Lynch and Alan Saalfeld. These articles describe the various techniques and criteria used to ensure that a match is made between the digital map and the DIME map. Unfortunately, several problems have arisen in utilizing the integrated digital map and the DIME map. For instance, since the digital map is much more accurate than the DIME map, it is possible that a number of matches of nodal points cannot be made, and therefore the address range of a particular area would not be included in the finalized displayed digital map. Additionally, since extensions are constantly being made to existing streets and new streets are continually added to a geographical area, a method and system has been devised to update the integrated map made by conflating the digitized map with the DIME file.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, the computer at the central station can produce a printout which includes all of the streets and addresses currently in the data base used to produce the displayed map. Additionally, a file can be generated which includes all of the streets in a particular geographical area. These two files are compared to one another and a list is generated based upon this comparison, providing all of the streets which are not currently represented in the digitized map as well as address ranges of streets provided in the digitized map which are not included therein. Once this list of non-included streets and address ranges is determined, a vehicle is dispatched from the central facility which drives to the nearest known intersection provided on the digitized map to an unknown street or unrepresented range of addresses in a known street.
When the vehicle arrives at this intersection of nodal point, the map updating process is initiated, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8. The vehicle which is utilized includes a tracking system provided with an onboard computer connected to a navigational tracking system such as the LORAN-C system. The vehicle is also provided with a radio such that personnel in the vehicle are in constant voice contact with the central facility or base station. Additionally, the tracking system including the LORAN-C transmitter is also in constant communication with the tracking facility. When the driver of the vehicle is at the proper initial location and wishes to initiate the map updating sequence, a function key of the computer is depressed and the operator prompts for the name of the street the vehicle is currently on, the name of the closest intersecting street, and the address range. In this regard, it is noted that the computer could include a display screen similar to the screen at the central facility which provides the detailed digital map, but this type of display is not necessary. Once the computer has prompted the required information, the LORAN-C transmitter transmits to the central facility the information needed to determine the latitude/longitude or state plane coordinates of the present position of the vehicle. At this point, the operator is prompted to drive to an unknown intersection and is prompted to wait. When the operator is prompted to drive down the unknown street segment to the next intersection, the coordinates of this street are logged. When the operator reaches the end of the street, or reaches a known or unknown intersection, the operator depresses an "end of street" function. At this point, the operator is prompted to wait and is then prompted to enter a street name and address range of the particular segment it has traversed. The operator is then prompted to end the data update sequence or to continue with the present street segment. When the entire run is completed, the data is then transferred from the onboard computer to the base or central station. This transfer can be completed via a modem from the onboard computer to the base or central station or via a disk transfer. The base station program will convert the data for each unknown segment to latitude/longitude data if necessary and then to state plane coordinate data. Before this is completed, a reference location on the transfer data is read as well as the unknown street name, address range and coordinates. The coordinates are converted to a vector form and stored in a form readable by a map editor program. Therefore, a file of street segments and address ranges is produced which is coordinated with the digitized display. At this point, the file data has been updated and new information would be displayed on the display console of the central computer.
The address and landmark information developed by the conflation step, as well as the method for updating this conflated map, is contained in the computer as a tabular data base. This tabular data base shall contain a list of the street names, street prefix directions, street type, left and right side address ranges, zip code information as well as additional directional information. This tabular data base allows several searches to be conducted and information to be positively displayed on the display screen. For example, as is shown in FIG. 4, a cursor 50 is included which can be moved utilizing a mouse, direct input from a keyboard or various standard methods which are known in the art. Once the cursor is moved to a particular position, a function key is depressed and the address, or address range corresponding to the position of the cursor, is displayed in tabular form as shown by 52. In this mode, the address represented by the location of the cursor 50 will be displayed in section 54 and shall include both the left and right address information for the road segment. Should no address information be available, the display will inform the user that no such information is available for that particular road segment. Conversely, the system of the present invention can input a particular address utilizing a keyboard and the computer will attempt to match this request with an address location on the graphical display. Once this information is determined, a box, such as shown at 51, will flash around the particular street segment. Additionally, if no match is made, the computer will display on a text screen a number of street names, such as ten, alphabetically closest to the one requested and allow the operator to pick any of the displayed address. Once this is accomplished, the box 51 will flash along or around the corresponding street segment.
Additionally, the present invention has the ability of determining the closest vehicle to a particular address location. In this embodiment, the particular address is inputted into the system and, if such an address exists in the tabular data base, the cursor 50, the box 51 or another type of indicia will flash giving the location of the vehicle on the screen. The particular vehicle identification number and the exact address of this vehicle would be displayed in boxes 56 and 54 respectively. Furthermore, the present invention would allow a particular vehicle identification number to be inputted and then the address to the closest road segment to this vehicle's position would be presented on the text screen utilizing boxes 54 and 56, for example. Furthermore, the present system has the capability of not only displaying the vehicle closest to a particular address, it also has the capability of displaying a number of vehicles, such as five, in proximity to the inputted address.
Furthermore, the method of the present invention provides the capability of displaying a plurality of landmarks in proximity to a particular address or, perhaps, a particular vehicle. These landmarks would be of specific types such as drop boxes, bus stops, hospitals, etc. It is not necessary that these landmarks appear at all times on the map, but rather can be displayed utilizing a particular function key. In this context, the landmarks can be displayed physically on the display screen utilizing various cursors or flashing boxes, or can be tabularly displayed in section 58 of the text screen.
Additionally, it should be noted that we have illustrated only a single type of display for listing the addresses, vehicle identification numbers, as well as the landmark locations. It is contemplated that various systems for displaying this information, which are known in the art, can be used for the purpose.
Numerous characteristics and advantages of the invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the method and function of the present invention.

Q: Prefer Large Titles and RefreshControl not working well I am using this tutorial to implement a pull-to-refresh behavior with the RefreshControl. I am using a Navigation Bar. When using normal titles everything works good. But, when using "Prefer big titles" it doesn't work correctly as you can see in the following videos. Anyone knows why? The only change between videos is the storyboard check on "Prefer Large Titles".

A: If you were using tableView.tableHeaderView = refreshControl or tableView.addSubView(refreshControl) you should try using tableView.refreshControl = refreshControl

A: I'm having the same problem, and none of the other answers worked for me.
I realised that changing the table view top constraint from the safe area to the superview fixed that strange spinning bug.
Also, make sure the constant value for this constraint is 0 .

A: It seems there are a lot of different causes that could make this happen, for me I had a TableView embedded within a ViewController. I set the top layout guide of the tableview to the superview with 0. After all of that still nothing until I wrapped my RefreshControl end editing in a delayed block:
DispatchQueue.main.async {
   if self.refreshControl.isRefreshing {
       DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1.0, execute: {
            self.refreshControl.endRefreshing()
       })
   }
}

A: The only working solution for me is combining Bruno's suggestion with this line of code:
tableView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .always

A: At the end what worked for me was:

*

*In order to fix the RefreshControl progress bar disappearing bug with large titles:
self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true

*In order to fix the list offset after refreshcontrol.endRefreshing():
let top = self.tableView.adjustedContentInset.top
let y = self.refreshControl!.frame.maxY + top
self.tableView.setContentOffset(CGPoint(x: 0, y: -y), animated:true)

A: I've faced the same problem. Call refreshControl endRefreshing before calling further API.
refreshControl.addTarget(controller, action: #selector(refreshData(_:)), for: .valueChanged)

@objc func refreshData(_ refreshControl: UIRefreshControl) {
        refreshControl.endRefreshing()
        self.model.loadAPICall {
            self.tableView.reloadData()
        }
    }

A: The only solution that worked for me using XIBs was Bruno's one:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/54629641/2178888
However I did not want to use a XIB. I struggled a lot trying to make this work by code using AutoLayout.
I finally found a solution that works:
    override func loadView() {
        super.loadView()
        let tableView = UITableView()
        //configure tableView
        self.view = tableView
    }

A: I had this issue too, and i fixed it by embedded my scrollView (or tableView \ collectionView) inside stackView, and it's important that this stackView's top constraint will not be attached to the safeArea view (all the other constraints can). the top constraint should be connect to it's superview or to other view.

A: I was facing the same issue for very long, the only working solution for me was adding refresh control to the background view of tableview.
tableView.backgroundView = refreshControl

A: Short Answer
I fixed this by delaying calling to API until my collection view ends decelerating
Long Answer
I notice that the issue happens when refresh control ends refreshing while the collection view is still moving up to its original position. Therefore, I delay making API call until my collection view stops moving a.k.a ends decelerating. Here's a step by step:

*

*Follow Bruno's suggestion

*If you set your navigation bar's translucent value to false (navigationBar.isTranslucent = false), then you will have to set extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true on your view controller. Otherwise, skip this.

*Delay api call. Since I'm using RxSwift, here's how I do it.

collectionView.rx.didEndDecelerating
    .map { [unowned self] _ in self.refreshControl.isRefreshing }
    .filter { $0 == true }
    .subscribe(onNext: { _ in
        // make api call
    })
    .disposed(by: disposeBag)

*After API completes, call to

refreshControl.endRefreshing()

Caveat
Do note that since we delay API call, it means that this whole pull-to-refresh process is not as quick as it could have been done without the delay.

A: Unfortunately, no advice helped. But I found a solution that helped me. Setting the transparency of the navigation bar helped.enter image description here

A: Problem can be solved if add tableview or scroll view as root view in UIViewController hierarchy (like in UITableViewController)
override func loadView() {
    view = customView
}

where customView is UITableView or UICollectionView


I know someone who absolutely loves running. After she injured her knee, she was told not to run but most other forms of exercise were okay. The doctors thought it was probably something that she would have to live with. Months later, a new X-ray discovered a horrible fracture behind her knee that no other X-ray had picked up on in the months before, and the exercising she had been doing was hurting it even more without her realizing it. Make sure you've ruled out any and all injury possibilities if your doctors can't pinpoint exactly what is wrong with you!

Proper clothing is important at our school. Modest, simple attire is best. Exposed undergarments, midriffs, or cleavage are not allowed. "Sagging" of pants or shorts is not allowed, as well as, short shorts and short skirts (If students wear inappropriate clothes to school, they will be required to change into GWMS Loaner Clothing.) Continued dress code infractions will result in progressive disciplinary action.
The following items are not to be worn on campus: (The administration will use discretion in determining dress code violations).
Bandanas or doo-rags. Head coverings are not allowed except for religious purposes.
Hats worn during class except for PE class if outside.
See-through, strapless, skimpy, inappropriate tops showing cleavage, bare midriffs, or lace exposing skin/cleavage.
Bra straps may not be seen; however, camisole or narrow tank top straps are acceptable.
Chains connecting wallets to belt or pants. Dangerous jewelry/jewelry adorning weapons.
Clothing or backpacks displaying and/or insinuating obscenity, profanity, tobacco, alcohol, drug logos, weaponry, violence, degrading or inflammatory statements.
Sagging pants – If your pants cannot stay up without a belt and are showing your undergarments, you will need to use a zip tie or change into loaner clothing.
Short shorts/skirts, more than 4" above the knee.
Pants with holes/rips that are above acceptable shorts or skirt lengths, unless worn with leggings/tights.
