![Configen - Kin + Carta Create](Assets/logo.png)

# configen

A command line tool to auto-generate configuration file code, for use in Xcode projects. To read about the motivation behind this project and the scenarios in which it might be used see our [blog post](https://www.theappbusiness.com/insights/a-robust-multi-environment-build-setup).

The `configen` tool is used to auto-generate configuration code from a property list. It is intended to
create the kind of configuration needed for external URLs or API keys used by your app. Currently supports both Swift and Objective-C code generation.

# Installation

To add the `configen` tool to your project you must first aquire the `configen` excecutable binary. The simplest way to do this is to download the executable binary from the latest release.

Alternatively you can download or clone this repository. Once you have done so, open and build the `configen.xcodeproj` project in Xcode, right click on the `configen` product and select 'Show in Finder'.

Once you have the executable file, make a copy and add it to the root directory of your project. Now you are ready to go! Next you need to create the relevant files and set-up your project accordingly. This is outlined below.

# Usage

## Step 1: The mapping file

Before running the `configen` tool, you need to create a mapping file (.map), in which you define the configuration variables you support. For example:

```swift
entryPointURL : URL
enableFileSharing : Bool
retryCount : Int
adUnitPrefix : String
analyticsKey : String
arrayOfHashes: [String]
environment : Environment
```

The `configen` mapping file uses a custom set of types which map to Swift types. Therefore for Objective-C code generation, you must still use Swift equivalent types in the mapping file.

## Step 2: A plist for each environment

Then you need to create a property list (plist) file, in which you provide values for each of the keys defined in your mapping file, above. You need to create a property list file for each required environment. For example, you may have a `test` and a `production` environment.

Using the above example, the plist source code for a production environment may look as follows:

```
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>entryPointURL</key>
<string>http://example.com/production</string>
<key>enableFileSharing</key>
<true/>
<key>retryCount</key>
<integer>4</integer>
<key>adUnitPrefix</key>
<string>production_ad_unit</string>
<key>analyticsKey</key>
<string>haf6d9fha8v56abs</string>
<key>environment</key>
<string>.Production</string>
</dict>
</plist>
```

Before proceeding to the next step, ensure that both the mapping file and plist files are placed inside your project directory. To keep things simple it might be best to place all these files in the same place, for example, in a `Config` sub-folder. You will need to reference the path to these files in step 3.

## Step 3: An external build step for each environment

Finally, you need to create a build target for each of your environments. This can be done be selecting File -> New -> Target and selecting 'External Build System' from the 'Cross-Platform' tab.

In the settings of each build target point the 'Build Tool' to the location of the `configen` script that you copied to your directory earlier and invoke the arguments as follows. Note that the output directory must be created separately.

```sh
configen --plist-path <plist> --hints-path <mapping-file> --class-name <output-class-name> --output-directory <output-directory>

  -p, --plist-path:
      Path to the input plist file
  -h, --hints-path:
      Path to the input hints file
  -n, --class-name:
      The output config class name
  -o, --output-directory:
      The output config class directory
  -c, --objective-c:
      Whether to generate Objective-C files instead of Swift

# e.g.

configen --plist-path EnvironmentConfig/EnvironmentConfig_Prod.plist --hints-path EnvironmentConfig.map --class-name EnvironmentConfig --output-directory EnvironmentConfig

```

`configen` generates Swift code by default. You can generate Objective-C code by providing the `-c` or `--objective-c` switches

The best way to support multiple environments is to define a separate scheme for each one. Then add the relevant target as an external build step for each scheme ensuring that 'Parallelize Build' is disabled.

Please refer to the example project included in the repository for further guidance.

# Standard types supported

* `Int`: Expects integer type in plist
* `String`: Expects string type in plist
* `Bool`: Expects Boolean type in plist
* `Double`: Expects floating point type in plist
* `URL`: Expects a string in the plist, which can be converted to a URL (validated at compile time)
* `Array` : Expects an array of values in the plist

# Custom types

Any other type is supported, by providing a string in the plist which compiles successfully when converted to code. For example:

```
enum Environment {
  case Development
  case UAT
  case Production
}
```

Providing the mapping type `environment : Environment` in the mapping file, and the string `.Production` in the plist, the property in your configuration class will be as follows:

```
  static let environment: Environment = .Production
```

This is powerful, because it allows you to work with optionals, which are not supported by the standard types. For example:

**Mapping file:**
```
retryCount : Int?
```

You have to make the type in your plist a string, and input either a number -- e.g. `1` -- or the word `nil`, so the output property becomes, for example:

```
  let retryCount: Int? = nil
```

# Arrays

Configen also supports reading arrays from the plist. For example, you can create an array of certificate hashes for pinning purposes and configen will automatically map them to an array in the generated configuration file. The arrays can be of any depth (for example: `[String]`, `[[URL]]`, `[[[Any]]]`, etc).

The downside of using an array in the plist is that the order of the array and whether there are any array elements at all is not guaranteed, so keep that in mind when using this functionality.

Example:

## Plist

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>arrayOfHashes</key>
	<array>
		<string>9BV3692736V893B47V893BY4V94B8V6123984BV6983V6B093</string>
		<string>BVQ09PY89V86BY98VY9876BV9786B98687B6976BOP967BP96</string>
		<string>PB869869P6B76P9B7869P8B69P697P69769769P7B697PB89B</string>
	</array>
</dict>
</plist>
```

## Mapping (.map)

`arrayOfHashes: [String]`

## Config file (generated)

```
static let arrayOfHashes: [String] = [
  "9BV3692736V893B47V893BY4V94B8V6123984BV6983V6B093",
  "BVQ09PY89V86BY98VY9876BV9786B98687B6976BOP967BP96",
  "PB869869P6B76P9B7869P8B69P697P69769769P7B697PB89B"

A network of academics, research organisations and think tanks brought together to provide independent, expert advice to Welsh Government Ministers, has been officially launched by the First Minister Carwyn Jones.
Led by the University, the Public Policy Institute for Wales (PPIW) will provide fresh thinking on how best to improve Wales' public services.
It will also enable the Welsh Government to access independent experts from across Wales, the UK and beyond, and tap into the best ideas, research and evidence to inform the making and delivery of policy in Wales.
The First Minister said: "Getting more impact from our public resources is crucial at this time. We know that budgets are being squeezed and we need to be prepared for the effects this will have.
"The PPIW offers a wide range of experience and expertise to challenge, inform and provide fresh thinking so that we as a government can better identify priorities, create robust policy and most importantly deliver for the people of Wales."
The PPIW is a Programme for Government commitment designed to promote better outcomes for the people of Wales by improving the effectiveness of policy development and service delivery in Wales. Ministers are able to request the PPIW to consider and provide advice on a wide-range of cross-cutting issues.
Professor Steve Martin, Director of the PPIW, said: "The creation of the PPIW is an exciting and innovative approach that which gives Ministers direct access to independent expert advice. It reflects the growing recognition, in Wales and around the world, that evidence and knowledge derived from research can play an important part in helping to improve policy decisions."
The PPIW is overseen by an independent Board of Governors, chaired by Sir Adrian Webb, to ensure it is driven to meet Ministers' needs. Organisations already recruited to the expert network include research groups based in the London School of Economics, Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff, Glamorgan, Liverpool and Swansea Universities.

These wonderful storefronts are located on East 2nd Street.
The large red building has served as the Donalsonville fire station for many years, but I believe it will soon be relocated. The structure was built for the Chero-Cola Bottling Works and also housed City Hall for a time.
When it opened as a silent movie house, the Olive Theatre's namesake, Olive Dunn, played the piano that accompanied the films. It was restored by the Arts Council and is now used for live performances. The theatre closed in 1949 when the Dunn Theatre, a more modern facility, was opened nearby. Over the years it housed numerous businesses. Broome Furniture Company was the last and upon closing the owner donated the building to the Arts Council.
Prolific architect William J. J. Chase designed this Beaux Arts courthouse for the newly-formed (1920) Seminole County in 1922. The inscription on the frieze reads: A Populo Seminoli Iudicium Ad Causam Iustitiae Humanae Aedifactum Est – Anno Domini Mille Nongenti Viginti Duo. Though I took two years of Latin in high school, my translating skills are rusty at best. My guess is that this means, loosely, To the People of Seminole (County), This is Built for the Cause of Human Justice. The second part is: In the Year of Our Lord 1922.
This was built around 1910 as a bank but has served as City Hall for many years.
Like many small Georgia towns, Donalsonville still has a lot of commercial storefronts remaining from a time when rural communities were busy centers of trade and commerce.
2nd Street was the busiest part of town and still has a large number of storefronts, though many are now empty.
This was the City Motor Company's Marine Division. Boating and fishing are still quite important to the local economy, thanks to the proximity of Lake Seminole.

Ashland Community & Technical College>News Archive>ACTC Instructor Shares Writing Tips
ACTC Instructor Shares Writing Tips
The three ways to immediately improve your writing are: remember your audience, use examples and write a second draft, says Travis J. Koll, an English Instructor at Ashland Community and Technical College. Like any skill, good writing takes practice, but there are pointers that can help students learn what to do and what not to do in a shorter time, he said.
These pointers are collected in Better Writing: Beyond Periods and Commas, a book published by Rowman and Littlefield Education, Inc., that is now available in print and ebook or Kindle at Amazon.com and other bookstores.
The ability to write well is vital in today's world, says Travis J. Koll, Unfortunately, too many students and others in the general public are terrified of the process and don't know where to start. That's why I wrote this book and why I kept it small, casual, and straightforward.
Kolls experience with student writers helped him develop guidelines that can help writers of any age construct a business report, school essay, or cover letter for a job.
"Many of us went through school thinking that commas and semicolons were the end all, be all of writing," says Koll. "The truth is that mechanics are simply a means to an end, that end being the sharing of ones voice and ideas in the larger community."
Semester after semester, I encounter very bright and hardworking students who, for some reason, believe writing well is simply beyond them; but Ive yet to meet one who couldn't improve with the right coaching, he said.
Koll got into teaching as a result of his writing. I was writing novels and nonfiction magazine articles at night after work, and I found myself helping business colleagues with their writing skills, he said.
I decided to pursue a Masters Degree in English, and after the first few classes I was hooked, he said. I find working with students and colleagues very rewarding, and, perhaps with the exception of being a best-selling novelist, I really couldn't imagine doing anything else.
Koll started at ACTC in 2010 after teaching for several years in community colleges, public universities, and online colleges in California, his native state.
I moved from California, ultimately, to find a good community in which to raise my son, who is now three years old, he said. My uncle who lives in Lexington really talked up Kentucky, and I noticed ACTC was hiring. My visit to Ashland convinced me this was the place to relocate my family. Its a safe community where people know and care about one another.
Caring about students is also important to Koll. Too often I encounter students who are terrified of writing and the English class itself, perhaps in the same way that I'm scared of calculus. My goal is to show students that they can indeed improve their skills.
Writing well is difficult, even if someone is a natural, but what most often holds people back are their own insecurities and a lack of knowledgeable but tactful guidance, Koll said. The road to improvement might be bumpy, but everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue success.
Here are short guidelines to that success from Better Writing: Beyond Periods and Commas.
1. Remember Your Audience: Writers sometimes focus so much on their own ideas and opinions that they forget or ignore the needs, wants, and expectations of their audience members.
Everything in a text, from the words and tone one chooses to the structure one employs, should be created with that audience in mind. What does my audience expect to see in this text? What information does my audience need and want to know, what can I leave out, and what likely questions or challenges can I anticipate and address?
2. Use Examples or Anecdotes: My favorite activities in elementary school involved show-and-tell. Imagine how dull that activity would have been if, instead of being able to see and touch those prized possessions, you were forced to sit quietly and listen to long explanations about them.
Successful writers know that they must regularly help readers visualize a texts meaning through examples and little stories. Rather than simply writing that hiking is a wonderful activity, show your readers it is by telling a little story. Instead of just stating that developing a sense of community is important in ones neighborhood, provide some examples to show the audience why this is true.
3. Write a Second Draft: A second draft is far more than a chance to fix typos and punctuation errors; rather, it is an opportunity to develop and clarify your thoughts, to rearrange and better organize your ideas, and to ensure your text lives up to its potential.
Remember, you're creating a fabric of words and ideas that must be measured, cut, and tailored to suit your writing goals and then fitted to your specific task, situation, and audience.
Koll shares these and other guidelines with students in his English Writing I and Writing II classes. The points I raised in the book are central in my writing classes, he said. Anyone can use them to become a better writer.

International Ban on Wildlife Markets (Wet Markets)
Created by Anonymous
On average, every $100 raised results in an hour of lobbying.
I watched a segment with Dr. Fauci where he was asked about wildlife markets (sometimes called wet markets), this is what he said:
"I think they should shut down those things right away. It boggles my mind how when we have so many diseases that emanate out of the unusual human-animal interface that we don't just shut it down. I don't know what else has to happen to get us to appreciate that."
I have a lot of respect for Dr. Fauci and think he is a trusted public servant. Please watch the Vox Video above and learn about the connection between wildlife markets and COVID-19. Please help me hire a lobbyist to push for a ban on wet markets.
About Wildlife Markets
Both SARS and COVID-19 are in the "coronavirus" family, and both appear to have emerged from animals in China's notorious wildlife markets. Experts had long predicted that these markets, known to be potential sources of disease, would enable another outbreak. The markets, and the wildlife trade that supports them, are the underlying problem of these pandemics. Until these markets are banned, more diseases are likely to emerge.
Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, the acting executive secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, said countries should move to prevent future pandemics by banning markets that sell live and dead animals for human consumption. She said that more than 70% of human diseases are from wildlife and the wet markets are often linked to the transmission of zoonotic viral infections.
While these markets provide some benefit for food security and give low-income communities more opportunity, the costs to global health far outweigh the benefit.
What will your lobbyist do?
Lobbyists for this issue push US lawmakers to take the lead on calling for an international ban on wildlife markets. They will do this by meeting one-on-one with lawmakers, forming and joining coalitions, and using their connections to influence policy.
They will also push members of the United Nations to call for a ban on wet markets and try to influence global policy at future UN General Assemblies.
For the same price as your morning latte, you can have the same access to lobbyists as large corporations. interest groups and wealthy donors.

Can your physiotherapy treatments be covered by insurance?

Need a visit to your physio?
Sports injuries, fractures, sprains and back pain are some of the more debilitating and annoying ongoing 'minor' problems that affect most of us at one time or another. Physiotherapy can help us get back on track, but medical treatments in Singapore are expensive – and physiotherapy is no exception! It's important know if your medical insurance includes these kinds of ongoing treatments as they can really add up! Pacific Prime Singapore discusses what types of health insurance plans cover physio treatments, and how to make sure your claims will be paid out.
Intending to go for physiotheraphy?
Manual physiotherapy: Includes massages, manual resistance training and stretching.
Exercise prescription and functional rehabilitation: To fully recover or learn how to control pain, patients are often are given a set of exercises and posture advice to work on.
Electrotherapy techniques: Consists of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), laser therapy, ultrasounds or magnetic field therapy.
Many tend not to think about physiotherapy until they are in pain. Physiotherapy, if started early enough, can even prevent the need for surgery, improve overall mobility and manage pain. To be sure the cost of this is covered, it's important to make sure your insurance plan covers it.
As an expat, you do not have access to subsidised healthcare in public hospitals. So you'll likely need to seek help in private physiotherapy centres. Prices vary depending on the treatment required. Usually, a first consultation visit plus manual treatment for 60 minutes can cost anywhere between $100 to $195. You may need multiple visits and different types of treatments, depending on your issue. So the overall cost of physiotherapy can skyrocket.
Which types of insurance cover physiotherapy?
If you're working, then most likely your company's group medical insurance covers either a certain amount of physiotherapy visits or up to a certain amount per year. When that limit is exhausted, you need to pay out of pocket for any other treatments you receive for the rest of the year. However, if you think that the benefit limit for physiotherapy on your current company medical plan is too low, there are multiple insurance top-up options. Topping up a plan is a great way to obtain comprehensive medical insurance while paying lower premiums as you are only paying for the additional benefits that are added to your existing benefits.
Another way to make sure you are covered in case you need physiotherapy treatment is by obtaining private medical insurance. It includes a wide range of outpatient benefits, some including physiotherapy.
Don't forget your recommendation letter!
To undergo a physiotherapy session, you don't require a recommendation letter because physiotherapists are qualified to assess your state themselves. However, insurers (in order to accept your physiotherapy claim) must have proof that such treatments are medically required. Obtaining a recommendation letter from your doctor first can be crucial for your claims to be accepted by the insurance company. Of course, plans and policies can vary between insurers, so be sure to ask your insurance provider or broker for details on your plan specifics.
A plan with inpatient coverage only will not cover any physiotherapy costs or follow-up appointments should you require them. For this reason, comprehensive health insurance coverage is something you should consider.

Cast interviews: Meet The Innocents – Guy Pearce, Sorcho Groundsell & Percelle Ascott

Netflix might be churning out more shows than a cash-strapped 90s boyband on a reunion tour, but there's plenty of quality in the quantity, as evidenced by this week's brand new sci-fi drama, The Innocents.
It's a coming-of-age, road trip mystery/ drama, centring on a pair of young runaways – Harry and June – who whisk themselves out of Yorkshire and toward London, for June's father is trying to isolate his daughter from the world for hitherto hidden reasons.
It's not long after the pair hit the road that they realise they're being chased by more than just an angry, over-bearing dad. And June is about to understand why her father was such a worrier in the first place…
We were given the chance to meet the show writers Hania Elkington and Simon Duric to discuss the genesis of the show and how a coming-of-age drama got wrapped up in a science fiction story.
They were accompanied on the press tour by lead cast members , along with Guy Pearce, whose mysterious doctor may well hold the secret to what's happening to June.
All eight episodes of The Innocents are available now on Netflix.
During the interview Guy Pearce also recollected his fond memories of Ramsey Street when he played Mike Young in Neighbours back in the 1980s.

All marshmallows are not created equal. Take these minis, for example -- unlike their bigger brothers, these tiny treats don't fare well in a campfire. But they still pack a ton of marshmallowy goodness in itty bitty bite-size form!
Not only are these sweet little things are perfect in hot cocoa, they also make ideal ammo for our Marshmallow Shooters. Consider yourself warned though--make sure you load your Shooter fast, because these delicious mini marshmallow candy bullets are so tempting they might just disappear into your mouth before you get a chance to load your weapon!
Bag contains 16 ounces of White Mini Marshmallows... that's about 750 pieces.

Statements of faith
Railway stations have always been inspiring places. The neo- classical columns of Huddersfield, Penn Central (pictured below) in New York and the Gare du Nord (pictured above) in Paris were built as statements of faith in the future.
Put up in a more confident age, anticipating prosperity and better times, railway stations ushered the purveyors of trade and commerce on their myriad journeys. In a way the railway station was the Victorian equivalent of a mediaeval cathedral.
Full of the hustle and bustle of personal drama, stations have always intrigued story tellers, singers and film makers. Preserved railways with their beautifully maintained stations evoke a gentle myth of a better time.
Paul Simon wrote one of his most memorable songs, Homeward Bound, on Widnes Station. How many movies make use of a railway station to emphasise the pain of parting or the joy of that special person's return?
The railway station has come to symbolise forward motion, a story with a happy ending, a new beginning. This might appear whimsical to the long term commuter, the passenger without a seat and the tired underpaid worker just anxious to get home.
Railway stations often became sad, utilitarian, structures after their heyday. Many had their buildings boarded up. Staff were withdrawn and booking offices closed. Up and down the network many station buildings were replaced altogether by temporary shacks and converted deep sea containers. Their temporary nature as transient it seemed as the fortunes of this once great industry.
That's all changing now as the rail industry struggles to cope with the upsurge of passenger volume. Capacity is the real challenge right across the spectrum and railway stations are no exception. One result of the King's Cross modernisation was to increase the area available for passengers.
More customer friendly
People on the move need space to catch their trains in safety and speed. Railway stations are being upgraded, expanded, made easier to use, accessible to disabled people and far more customer friendly. The railway has worked out the huge footfall through its stations presents a real commercial opportunity.
Passengers want coffee, tea, food, clothes, newspapers and books while on the move. Better still they want to pause awhile in these great halls of endeavour, inspired as their ancestors once were.
The news from this industry is of an economy resurgent. Business is booming, commerce is growing. Station concourse trading is making a greater contribution to a confident railway, fuelling further investment and driving up the standards of world class customer care. Railway stations are once more becoming inspired statements of faith in the future.

Ferrari To Build A New SUV
This is probably good news for Ferrari fans who are SUV lovers
Oct 14, 2017 | By Andrea Sim
The GTC4Lusso which is not an SUV | Photo credit: Ferrari
What difficulties will the automobile makers most likely face today if, for some reason, they do not include a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) in its existing portfolio?
Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Ferrari Automobiles said in August that it could build a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). Not until of late, Marchionne confirmed at the New York Stock Exchange that the SUV is actually happening.
"It's an SUV. A Ferrari SUV. Own it." – as told by CEO Sergio Marchionne to Bloomberg at the New York Stock Exchange on Monday
The major automaker will be looking at around 30 months "to decide on production, which will be limited to preserve exclusivity," Marchionne told Bloomberg on Monday.
Prior to this, in February 2016, when he commented that you would have to "shoot [him] first" before Ferrari made one, according to the source.
Today, CEO Sergio Marchionne could not emphasise just how "serious" he is about the SUV. "We need to learn how to master this whole new relationship between exclusivity and scarcity of product, then we're going to balance this desire to grow with a widening of the product portfolio," he added.

Concern raised about proposed Edmonton licence fees for pot shops

Edmonton's proposed licence and permit fees for marijuana stores could make it harder for small operators to get started, an executive with a cannabis retailer says.
City staff have recommended charging pot shops $2,500 for business licences for shops, cultivation and processing facilities, and a further $5,600 for development permits, or about 15 times higher than the $512 total levied on similar establishments.
While a city report estimates the actual cost of providing these services, including police, is $148,000, it concludes charging that much would go beyond what other businesses pay and lead to a stronger likelihood of legal challenges.
Nick Kuzyk, chief strategy officer at High Tide Ventures Inc., said Saturday the suggested $8,100 in total fees seems reasonable to help cover the extra staffing and other expenses municipalities are incurring to deal with the new recreational pot industry.
However, Kuzyk — whose Calgary-based company has so far applied to open 25 stores across Alberta, including several in Edmonton — isn't sure what impact such an expense would have on firms that want to set up a limited number of outlets.
"It may make it difficult for mom-and-pops and the people the province wants to participate in the industry. I sure hope not. They should have a fair chance to participate at this level," he said.
"Hopefully, fees at this level don't stop that from happening."
This expense won't be an obstacle for High Tide, which already runs 19 Smoker's Corner cannabis accessory shops, and with recreational marijuana scheduled to be legalized this year many other groups are keen to enter the field, Kuzyk said.
"There's a lot of demand for prime real estate and landlords are charging premium rents for those locations."
The fee report will be discussed Tuesday by city council's urban planning committee. Coun. Michael Walters, a committee member, said there are two sides to the issue.
"We need some degree of cost recovery until we know what we're going to receive from the province to deal with increased costs associated with marijuana … We're a bit in the dark right now," he said, adding property taxpayers shouldn't have to carry the whole burden.
"(But) one of our principles when we think about the regulation of cannabis is being business friendly. We want to make people feel they can make it work here without too much red tape."
Tight timelines mean there hasn't been broad public consultation about the fees, which officials originally suggested should be lower, but Walters expects they'll hear from retailers at the meeting.
"I'm well aware that the higher our fees are, the more contradiction there is with our (business-friendly) principle, but the challenge we have is we don't know how much it will cost us down the road."

Q: Standardising Bivariate Normal
I don't understand why $\sigma_{Z_1}=\sigma_{Z_2}=1$ and $\mu_{Z_1}=\mu_{Z_2}=0$.
I would understand if:
$X_1$~$N(\mu_{x_1},\sigma_{x_1}^2)$ and  $X_2$~$N(\mu_{x_2},\sigma_{x_2}^2)$ but this is not the case?

A: The means are $0$ because you first subtract $\mu_X$ from $X$, and expectation is linear. Similarly, the variance is $1$ because you are dividing by $\sigma_X$ and the original variance of $X$ is $\sigma_X^2$ (which is unchanged if you subtract the mean $\mu_X$ from $X$) and $var(cX) = c^2 var(X)$ for a constant $c$.
In other words, you do have $X \sim N(\mu_X,\sigma_X^2)$ by assumption.

Castleford Tigers star keen to hit Wembley trail
Mike McMeeken celebrates a try in a previous game at Hull.
Tony Harber
England forward Mike McMeeken is eager to go on a first serious Challenge Cup run with Castleford Tigers.
The back rower has put in some big performances since recovering from injury in recent weeks and hoping to be able to help the Tigers into the quarter-finals with victory at Hull tomorrow night.
Since heading north McMeeken has not got further than the last eight with Cas, but would love to sample the Wembley experience as some teammates did in 2014.
He explained: "It's such a great stadium and one that I'd love to play at.
"I think there's only maybe three or four of our players at the moment who have played there so it will be massive and massive for the town in general to get there.
"You saw what it was like the last time we got to a major final in 2017. There were probably only a handful of people left in the town with everyone at Old Trafford.
"I wasn't at the club when they last got to the final in 2014, but I remember going to that game and the Cas section was absolutely covered in Cas fans and Cas shirts so you could see the following.
"Sadly there's not been much of a cup run since then and we've not really performed when it got to the crunch time. But this week we're preparing well and we've trained well and we're really looking forward to playing in the cup."
Castleford go into their Hull tie off the back of three straight league defeats, but McMeeken does not believe the players will lack confidence after showing spirit in those games despite being without so many injured first teamers.
He stressed: "The beauty of the cup is that you don't focus on your league form, that is completely irrelevant. The main focus is Hull FC away and getting the win there.
"It's all about one match and getting through. You can win ugly, it's just about getting through to that next round.
"We've been inconsistent, but attitude-wise we're really up there and we can take confidence from that."
McMeeken is expecting a physical encounter at Hull.

He added: "There are probably tougher draws, but it's definitely a tough draw away at Hull.
"At home they are a tough team to beat. The crowd is like an 18th man for them and we know we need to go there and play well to win.
"It's an exciting challenge and we're looking forward to it. Hull are going to be up for it and so are we.
"They have been similar to us, they've been a bit mixed so far. But their league form will be irrelevant as well and it will just be a one game shoot-out so I'm expecting a physical game from them. They've got a big pack, led by the likes of Scott Taylor and Gareth Ellis, and have some skilful players at the back.
"We need to match them down the middle and in the outside backs as well. They've got some skilful players, but we have as well and we've just got to take our chances."

BREAKING: Court Will Consider Previously Withheld Agency Record Showing Trump Administration Knew Its Pretext for Halting Equal Pay Protections Was Meritless
Press Release February 8, 2019
Internal Memo Contradicts the Administration's Justification for Unlawful Action
Trump Official Behind Unlawful Rollback Faced Questions on Equal Pay Decision At Confirmation Hearing This Week
Washington, D.C.– Yesterday, a federal court considering a challenge to the Trump Administration's rollback of equal pay protections rejected the government's attempt to exclude an internal Trump Administration memo which contradicts the Administration's rationale for its unlawful rollback. The memo, withheld from the Administrative Record by the government, directly refutes the rationale that 'regulatory czar' Neomi Rao claimed justified the Administration's action and shows the Trump Administration knew its pretext for halting equal pay protections was without merit. As nominee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Rao faced questions at her recent confirmation hearing from Sen. Feinstein about her involvement in the rollback of these critical protections.
Although the EEOC had previously determined that collecting employee pay data by race, gender and ethnicity is a necessary tool for combating pay discrimination, and OMB had approved the collection of such data, in one of her first actions as OIRA Administrator, Rao claimed there was no "practical utility" to collecting this pay data, and OMB halted the equal pay protection. But the hidden document, which the government had not disclosed in this case, refutes the basis for OMB changing its position, stating that there was no "significant change that warrant[ed] … reconsideration" of the protections requiring the administration to collect this critical data.
"We are pleased that the Court rejected the Trump Administration's attempt to hide this important memo," said Democracy Forward Senior Counsel Robin Thurston."The public deserves to know that the government's own analysis shows there was no basis to roll back equal pay protections."
The Court had previously compelled the Administration to release the full Administrative Record, which includes the documents it relied upon in its decision to unlawfully roll back the equal pay protections. The records released as part of the Administrative Record at that time revealed that:
OMB conducted no analysis of its own in halting the pay data collection.
The Administration failed to consider the impact that the elimination of the pay data collection would have on the EEOC's antidiscrimination mission and the urgent need to close the wage gap.
While the Administration attempted to justify the stay by parroting disproven complaints from the Chamber of Commerce and other business-backed lobbyists that the pay data collection is burdensome, the Administration failed to consider any comments it received in support of the pay data collection.
This Court decision requires that the internal memo also be included in the Administrative Record, and will be before the Court when it rules on the legality of the Administration's action.
The memo at issue was initially obtained by the ACLU as part of a Freedom of Information Act request for records from the EEOC related to the equal pay rollback.
Plaintiffs National Women's Law Center (NWLC) and the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) continue to pursue the inclusion of additional documents in the Administrative Record as well as final judgment in their favor in this lawsuit. Democracy Forward and NWLC represent the Plaintiffs.
Democracy Forward is a nonprofit legal organization that scrutinizes Executive Branch activity across policy areas, represents clients in litigation to challenge unlawful actions, and educates the public when the White House or federal agencies break the law.

Q: Maximal number of adjacent bits flipping only one This problem came up on an online coding test pre-interview. I've attempted to completely change the scenario & any inconsequential information so as to avoid anyone taking said test locating this post.
The problem involves a string of bytes. You have been asked to find the maximal count of adjacent pairs if you can flip one bit.
ie 101110 would have 4 adjacent pairs if you flipped the second bit.
I was given code which appeared to solve the problem, and asked fix it by changing up to three lines. Unfortunately I couldn't find the bug. Its been frustrating me for a while now..
The supplied code (compiled and ran on supplied example fine)
int sol(int[] Arr):
    int l = len(Arr)
    int t = 0
    for i 0..(l-2):
        if A[i] = A[i+1]:
            t += 1
    int r = 0
    for i 0..(l-1):
        int c = 0
        if i > 0:
            if A[i-1] != A[i]:
                c++
            else:
                c--
        if i < (l-1):
            if A[i+1] != A[i]:
                c++
            else:
                c--
         r = Max(r, c);
 return t+r

Any ideas?

A: To find a bug or and exploit i may try to understand the code first :
first loop count the number of pair in the sequence ("00" or "11") in t
for i 0..(l-2):
    if A[i] = A[i+1]:
        t += 1

then second loop look for specific sequences :

*

*"101" or "010" then c = 2

*"01" or "10" then c = 1 (only when looking at first or last bit)

*other sequences c = 0 or -1 or -2

and keep the higher value between c and r in r so any value of c less than 0 is irrelevant.
int r = 0
for i 0..(l-1):
    int c = 0
    if i > 0:
        if A[i-1] != A[i]:
            c++
        else:
            c--
    if i < (l-1):
        if A[i+1] != A[i]:
            c++
        else:
            c--
     r = Max(r, c);

To find a bug you can simply exploit the first loop parsing a long "11001100110011001100..." sequence, you will find a value of half the sequence length divided by 2 when the real value should be 2.
This may only be an half answer because i couldn't find a fix changing only 3 line but maybe as you changed the code you also changes the number of lines some instruction take or the order of few lines.
I feel like the fix involve merging the two loop and using t in the max with few other changes but it would make more than 3 lines changed.

A: It's because the amount of adjacents can go down. E.g.: (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0). That's 5 adjancies. If you flip any of them, the amount drops down to 4, but the algorithm you presented does only allow for the amount to go up, because the starting value of c is zero, and you are max()ing it.

NGC 1317 (również NGC 1318 lub PGC 12653) – galaktyka spiralna z poprzeczką (SBa), znajdująca się w gwiazdozbiorze Pieca. Galaktyka ta należy do Gromady w Piecu.

Została odkryta 24 listopada 1826 roku przez Jamesa Dunlopa, a jego obserwacja została skatalogowana przez Dreyera w jego katalogu jako NGC 1317. 19 stycznia 1865 roku galaktykę obserwował też Julius Schmidt i błędnie uznał, że odkrył nowy obiekt. Błędu tego Dreyer nie zauważył i w oparciu o pracę Schmidta skatalogował galaktykę po raz drugi jako NGC 1318.

Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (; Pre-Reform orthography: ;  – ) was a Russian poet and diplomat.

Life

Tyutchev was born into a Russian noble family in the Ovstug family estate near Bryansk (modern-day Zhukovsky District, Bryansk Oblast of Russia). His father Ivan Nikolaevich Tyutchev (1768—1846) was a court councillor who served in the Kremlin Expedition that managed all building and restoration works of Moscow palaces. One of Ivan's sister  (1774—1837), was a hegumenia famous for founding the Borisoglebsky Anosin Women's Monastery. The Tyutchevs traced their roots to Zakhariy Tutchev mentioned in The Tale of the Rout of Mamai, a 15th-century epic tale about the Battle of Kulikovo that described him as the most trusted man of Dmitry Donskoy; sent as a messenger to Mamai, he managed to reveal traitors and return alive thanks to his diplomatic skills. Fyodor's mother Ekaterina Lvovna Tolstaya (1776—1866) belonged to the Tolstoy family on her father's side and the Rimsky-Korsakov noble house on her mother's side. Russian war general Alexander Rimsky-Korsakov was her uncle.

Most of his childhood years were spent in Moscow, where he joined the literary circle of Professor Merzlyakov at the age of 13. His first printed work was a translation of Horace's epistle to Maecenas, published when he was still 15. From that time on, his poetic language was distinguished from that of Pushkin and other contemporaries by its liberal use of majestic, solemn Slavonic archaisms.

His family tutor was Semyon Raich, a minor poet and translator under whose guidance Tyutchev undertook his first poetic steps. From 1819 to 1821 Tyutchev studied at the Philological Faculty of Moscow University. After graduating he joined the Foreign Office and in 1822 accompanied his relative, Count Ostermann-Tolstoy, to Munich to take up a post as trainee diplomat at the Russian legation. He was to remain abroad for 22 years.

In Munich he fell in love with Amalie von Lerchenfeld, the illegitimate half-sister of a young Bavarian diplomat, Count Maximilian Joseph von Lerchenfeld. Tyutchev's poem Tears or Slyozy (Liubliu, druz'ya, laskat' ochami...) coincides with one of their meetings, and is most likely dedicated to Amalie (or Amélie, as she was usually known). Among other poems inspired by her are K. N., and Ia pomniu vremia zolotoe… Published extracts from the letters and diaries of Maximilian von Lerchenfeld illuminate the first years of Tyutchev as a diplomat in Munich (1822–1826), giving details of his frustrated love affair for Amélie, nearly involving a duel (probably with his colleague, Baron Alexander von Krüdener), in January 1825. Amélie was coerced by her relatives into marrying the much older Krüdener, but she and Tyutchev continued to be friends and frequented the same diplomatic society in Munich. A late poem of 1870 with the title K.B. (Ia vstretil vas —  i vsio biloe), long accepted on dubious evidence as addressed to Amélie, is now thought much more likely to refer to Tyutchev's sister-in-law Clotilde (or Klothilde) von Bothmer. Tyutchev's last meeting with Amélie took place on March 31, 1873 (OS) when she visited him on his deathbed. The next day, Tyutchev wrote to his daughter Daria:
Yesterday I felt a moment of burning emotion due to my meeting with... my dear Amalie Krüdener who wished to see me for the last time in this world and came to take her leave of me. In her person my past and the best years of my life came to give me a farewell kiss.

In Munich, he came under the influence of the German Romantic movement, and this is reflected in his poetry. Among the figures, he knew personally were the poet Heinrich Heine and the philosopher Friedrich Schelling. In 1826, he married the Bavarian widow of a Russian diplomat Eleonore Peterson, née Countess von Bothmer. She became the mother of his daughter Anna Tiuttjev.  Following her death in 1838, Tyutchev married another aristocratic young German widow, Baroness Ernestine von Dörnberg, née von Pfeffel, who had become his mistress and had a child by him while Eleonore was still alive. Neither of his wives understood Russian to begin with (Ernestine made efforts to learn the language only much later). That is hardly surprising since Tyutchev spoke French better than Russian and nearly all his private correspondence was in the former language.

In 1836, a young former colleague at the Munich legation, Prince Ivan Gagarin, obtained Tyutchev's permission to publish his selected poems in Sovremennik, a literary journal edited by Pushkin. Although appreciated by the great Russian poet, the superb lyrics failed to spark off any public interest. The death of Eleonore in 1838 hit Tyutchev hard and appears to have silenced him as a poet for some considerable time, and for ten years afterwards, he wrote hardly any lyric verse. Instead, he turned his attention to publishing political articles in Western periodicals such as the Revue des Deux Mondes outlining his strongly held views on Russia's role in the world (see below).

In 1837, Tyutchev was transferred from Munich to the Russian legation in Turin. He found his new place of residence uncongenial to his disposition and after marrying Ernestine, he resigned from his position there to settle in Munich. It was later discovered that Tyutchev had actually abandoned his post as chargé d'affaires in Turin without official permission to marry in Switzerland, and he was dismissed from the Foreign Service as a result. He continued to live in Germany for five more years without position before returning to Russia. Upon his eventual return to St Petersburg in 1844, the poet was much lionised in the highest society. His daughter Kitty caused a sensation, and the novelist Leo Tolstoy wooed her, "almost prepared to marry her impassively, without love, but she received me with studied coldness", as he remarked in a diary. Kitty would later become influential at Konstantin Pobedonostsev's circle at the Russian court. Not long after his return to Russia, Tyutchev was reinstated in government service as a censor, rising eventually to become Chairman of the Foreign Censorship Committee and a Privy Councillor.

Tyutchev loved to travel, often volunteering for diplomatic courier missions as a way of combining business with pleasure. One of his lengthiest and most significant missions was to newly independent Greece in the autumn of 1833. During his years abroad there were visits home on leave, and after settling in Russia in 1844, he would sometimes spend short periods on the family estate at Ovstug. Tours undertaken in a private capacity took him to many parts of continental Europe, including Italy, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. He was particularly drawn to the Swiss lakes and mountains. Many of his best poems were inspired by such journeys.

As a poet, Tyutchev was little known during his lifetime. His 400 or so short poems were the only pieces he ever wrote in Russian. Tyutchev regarded his poems as bagatelles, not worthy of publication. He generally did not care to write them down and, if he did, he would often lose papers they were scribbled upon. Nikolay Nekrasov, when listing Russian poets in 1850, praised Tyutchev as one of the most talented among "minor poets". It was only in 1854 that his first volume of verse was printed, which was prepared by Ivan Turgenev and others without any help from the author.

In 1850, he began an illicit affair with Elena Denisyeva, over twenty years his junior. She remained his mistress until her death from tuberculosis in 1864, and she bore him three children. The affair produced a body of lyrics rightly considered among the finest love poems in the language. Permeated with a sublime feeling of subdued despair, the so-called "Denisyeva Cycle" has been variously described by critics as "a novel in verse", "a human document, shattering in the force of its emotion", and "a few songs without comparison in Russian, perhaps even in world poetry". One of the poems, Last Love, is often cited as emblematic of the whole cycle.

In the early 1870s, the deaths of his brother, son and daughter left Tyutchev deeply depressed. (Depression was something from which he suffered at intervals throughout his life.) Following a series of strokes, he died in Tsarskoye Selo in 1873 and was interred at Novodevichy Monastery in St. Petersburg. Ernestine survived him by 21 years.

Political views

Tyutchev was a militant Pan-Slavist, who never needed a particular reason to berate the Western powers, Vatican, Ottoman Empire or Poland, the latter perceived by him as a Judas in the Slavic fold. The failure of the Crimean War made him look critically at the Russian government as well.

On domestic matters, he held broadly liberal views. He warmly welcomed most of the reforms of Tsar Alexander II, particularly the Emancipation Reform of 1861. Both in his work as a censor and in his writings, he promoted the ideal of freedom of expression, frequently incurring the wrath of his superiors as a result, even under the more relaxed regime of Alexander II.

His fairly sizeable output of verse on political subjects is largely forgotten. One exception is a short poem which has become something of a popular maxim in Russia:

Poetry

Tyutchev is one of the most memorized and quoted Russian poets. Occasional pieces, translations and political poems constitute about a half of his overall poetical output.

The 200 or so lyric pieces which represent the core of his poetic genius, whether describing a scene of nature or passions of love, put a premium on metaphysics. Tyutchev's world is bipolar. He commonly operates with such categories as night and day, north and south, dream and reality, cosmos and chaos, still world of winter and spring teeming with life. Each of these images is imbued with specific meaning. Tyutchev's idea of night, for example, was defined by critics as "the poetic image often covering economically and simply the vast notions of time and space as they affect man in his struggle through life". In the chaotic and fathomless world of "night", "winter", or "north" man feels himself tragically abandoned and lonely. Hence, a modernist sense of frightening anxiety permeates his poetry. Unsurprisingly, it was not until the late 19th and early 20th century that Tyutchev was rediscovered and hailed as a great poet by the Russian Symbolists such as Vladimir Solovyov, Andrey Bely and Alexander Blok.

Sample of verse

Silentium! is an archetypal poem by Tyutchev. Written in 1830, it is remarkable for its rhythm crafted so as to make reading in silence easier than aloud toward others. Like so many of his poems, its images are anthropomorphic and pulsing with pantheism. As one Russian critic put it, "the temporal epochs of human life, its past and its present fluctuate and vacillate in equal measure: the unstoppable current of time erodes the outline of the present."

Speak not, lie hidden, and conceal
the way you dream, the things you feel.
Deep in your spirit let them rise
akin to stars in crystal skies
that set before the night is blurred:
delight in them and speak no word.

How can a heart expression find?
How should another know your mind?
Will he discern what quickens you?
A thought, once uttered, is untrue.
Dimmed is the fountainhead when stirred:
drink at the source and speak no word.

Live in your inner self alone
within your soul a world has grown,
the magic of veiled thoughts that might
be blinded by the outer light,
drowned in the noise of day, unheard...
take in their song and speak no word.
(trans. by Vladimir Nabokov

Incidentally, this poem inspired an early-20th-century composer, Georgi Catoire (the setting of the poem in the song Silentium), while another one of Tyutchev's poems, "O chem ty voesh' vetr nochnoy...", was the inspiration for Nikolai Medtner's Night Wind piano sonata (#7) of 1911. There is a well-known setting by Rakhmaninov of Tyutchev's poem Spring Waters. While the title of Nikolai Myaskovsky's 1910 tone poem, "Silence", may have been borrowed from Tyutchev, the inspiration is credited to one of Edgar Allan Poe's tales. The same poem was also set to music by the 20th-century Russian composer, Boris Tchaikovsky (1925-1996), in his 1974 cantata "Signs of the Zodiac". Composer Lyubov Streicher (1888-1958) set Tyutchev's text to music in her Romances.  The Ukrainian composer, Valentyn Sylvestrov (born 1937), has made a memorable setting of 'Last Love', recorded by Alexi Lubimov and Jana Ivanilova on the album 'Stufen'.  At the end of Andrey Tarkovsky's film Stalker, a character recites a Tyutchev poem. In 2007, Icelandic musician Björk used this same Tyutchev poem for the lyrics to "The Dull Flame Of Desire" from her album Volta.The song was later released as a single in 2008. The 2011 contemporary classical album Troika includes a setting of Tyutchev's French-language poem "Nous avons pu tous deux…" by the composer Isabelle Aboulker.

When Amelia was first diagnosed with food allergies, I was desperate for information–and to feel less alone. She was the first kid I'd ever met who couldn't eat foods like eggs or nuts and it was so new and so scary. I read–and re-read–every article and book I could find and was extremely grateful for each new scrap.
Seven + years later and you can't open a magazine or newspaper without seeing an article about food allergies and we know plenty of kids like her. I'm not happy that we haven't found a cure, but I am glad there's attention to this issue impacting so many of us.
Here are two helpful recent pieces which touch on the health and emotional aspects of food allergies, including one from one of my personal favorite health writers, Jane Brody at The New York Times.

Description of this AgencyDescription of this Agency
Under the provisions of the Guardianship and Administration Board Act 1986 No 58, two new agencies were created namely the Guardianship and Administration Board (VA 3027) and The Office of the Public Advocate.
The Guardianship and Administration Board Act 1986 was passed in response to the Report of the Minister's Committee on Rights and Protective Legislation for intellectually handicapped persons, commonly known as the Cock's Committee Report. The report was originally commissioned by the Minister for Health (the Hon. W.A. Borthwick) in December 1980. Terms of reference were expanded to include other disabilities in September 1982. The final report was submitted to the Minister of Health (the Hon. T. Roper) in December 1982.
The Act was proclaimed in a number of stages. In July 1986 the Public Advocate was appointed under Schedule 3 of the Act. In April 1987, the President of the Board was appointed and operational provisions relating to The Office of the Public Advocate were proclaimed. The Board was the Tribunal established to legally protect the personal and financial affairs of adult disabled persons including matters relating to medical and financial powers of attorney. 'Disability' is defined under Section 3 of the Act as including intellectual impairment, mental illness, brain damage, physical disability and senility.
The role of The Office of the Public Advocate was to advocate, promote and support the rights and interests of disabled persons. It frequently represented persons in Board hearings.
Despite the interrelated role and a shared location with the Board, The Office of the Public Advocate was a separately constituted, administered and staffed agency.
