Q: G-Sheets: automatically applie formulars in much cells I need a way to automatically create formulas in a cell.
I have to adjust the formula in each cell.
Each column or line further, the reference Range should change.
The whole thing should look like this:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/lzoug.png (cant post images directly already in this Forum)
Each line the first Range counts up and, each column the second counts up.
At the end about 100*100 cells should be labeled by themselves.
Doing this by hand would take tons of hours.
I've already heard that this should be possible with scripts, but I have no idea about it.
Maybe someone can give me a hint how to do it.
Thanks ;)
(Sorry for my bad English)

North London Waste Authority is a statutory authority whose principal responsibility is the disposal of waste collected by the seven north London boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest. The Authority predominantly manages its waste arisings through its waste management contract with London Energy Ltd (LEL), a private company which is wholly owned by the Authority. LEL operates an existing Energy from Waste facility at the Edmonton EcoPark which is due to be replaced as part of the Authority's North London Heat and Power Project (NLHPP). Under the NLHPP, the Authority will develop a new Energy Recovery Facility at the Edmonton EcoPark pursuant to a Development Consent Order granted to the Authority on 24.2.2017. The construction of a laydown area is part of the preparatory works for the NLHPP. The laydown area is to be constructed on an area of open scrubland located to the east of the Edmonton EcoPark. The laydown area will be used to provide construction parking and associated access and utilities. This procurement is for the east side of the laydown area and further details of the required works are set out in the Memorandum of Information, forming part of the procurement documents.

Q: How to get console output of log lines (printf, cout ,etc...) of c++ library used in Android app via JNI/NDK in my Android app I use a native c++ library via JNI. This library produces log lines, if its build in debug mode.
I want to have the log lines redirected to logcat.
So I created the lib in debug mode,
NDK_DEBUG=1 is used and
LOCAL_LDLIBS += -llog is set.
My devices is not rooted but I set:
$ adb shell stop
  $ adb shell setprop log.redirect-stdio true
  $ adb shell start
Like it was described at http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/debugging-log.html#viewingStd and here Is "std::cout" usable in Android-ndk
Using __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_INFO, "foo", "Error: %s", foobar); is working but it is not an option for me because the c++ lib is also used for an iOS app so I dont want to change the native code.
I also tried to get the console output (printf) created in the JNI wrapper with this settings but except the "__android_log_print" statements the output is not visble a logcat too.
Did I missed something or is the redirection only possible for rooted devices?
How can I get the console output produced by native code.
Thank You in Advance

A: If your device is not rooted, the adb shell stop / start commands will have no effect.  That means zygote won't restart, so it won't pick up the new log.redirect-stdio property.  This property is something of a hack anyway -- it causes a VM in the same process to create a thread that reads stdout/stderr and forwards them to the log file.
Your best bet is to use a variadic log macro that switches between __android_log_print and whatever iOS wants based on a preprocessor symbol (e.g. __ANDROID__).  Then it'll just compile to the right thing.

A: I use a logger header to print crossplatform logs.
In c++ code just write LOGD("msg"); or LOGE("msg"); and print messages checking the platform.
Try creating a crossplatform log header like:
Logs.h
#       ifdef ANDROID
            // LOGS ANDROID
#           include <android/log.h>
#           define LOGV(...) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_VERBOSE, LOG_TAG,__VA_ARGS__)
#           define LOGD(...) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_DEBUG  , LOG_TAG,__VA_ARGS__)
#           define LOGI(...) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_INFO   , LOG_TAG,__VA_ARGS__)
#           define LOGW(...) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_WARN   , LOG_TAG,__VA_ARGS__)
#           define LOGE(...) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_ERROR  , LOG_TAG,__VA_ARGS__)
#           define LOGSIMPLE(...)
#       else
            // LOGS NO ANDROID
#           include <stdio.h>
#           define LOGV(...) printf("  ");printf(__VA_ARGS__); printf("\t -  <%s> \n", LOG_TAG);
#           define LOGD(...) printf("  ");printf(__VA_ARGS__); printf("\t -  <%s> \n", LOG_TAG);
#           define LOGI(...) printf("  ");printf(__VA_ARGS__); printf("\t -  <%s> \n", LOG_TAG);
#           define LOGW(...) printf("  * Warning: "); printf(__VA_ARGS__); printf("\t -  <%s> \n", LOG_TAG);
#           define LOGE(...) printf("  *** Error:  ");printf(__VA_ARGS__); printf("\t -  <%s> \n", LOG_TAG);
#           define LOGSIMPLE(...) printf(" ");printf(__VA_ARGS__);

America Must Invest in Freedom
Bette Bao Lord
March 10, 1993 — Committee on Foreign Affairs, US House of Representatives, Washington DC
As an immigrant, I have a singular honor to testify before this committee. As the chairman of Freedom House, I have the opportunity to speak on behalf of a bipartisan, nonprofit organization founded fifty years ago by Eleanor Roosevelt and Wendell Wilkie, on the subject that is our reason for being, promoting democracy and human rights.
While my written statement addresses your important questions in a more orthodox way, permit me to speak personally. I do so to provide a different perspective, one that native-born Americans cannot offer naturally. Taught to question every premise, they do not flinch from dissecting America's failings. It is a most admirable trait. But such clinical probes overlook the intangibles through which people living in distant lands discern America. I know. I am able to disappear among them and eavesdrop.
To the masses denied dignity by their rulers, America is not just another country with material goods that they covet. It is the embodiment of intangibles — liberty, conscience, hope. The sun we enjoy blithely, they behold as a beacon from afar.
I recall how curious my Chinese friends were watching our presidential debates, but what they viewed as an earth-shaking phenomenon totally escaped even me. They were awestruck by the fact that a lowly TV journalist — apologies to Dan, Tom, and Peter — could politely, but in no uncertain terms, tell the paramount leader of the most powerful nation in the world that his time was up.
How confounding, just when technology and humanity's newest trials mock walls, borders, and oceans, some extol the efficacy of withdrawing to our shores or, worse, ethically correct enclaves. Just when human rights, however mislabeled or mangled, must be given lip service by even the most repressive regimes, some Americans balk at invoking them at all. Just when there is but one superpower left, some question America's need to stay engaged.
How ironic, just when totalitarian states have imploded and democracy holds sway among more peoples than ever before, Americans are losing faith in the wisdom of promoting freedom and human rights abroad.
Some wonder if certain peoples will always be incapable or averse to ruling themselves. They fail to acknowledge that no man or woman has ever aspired to be a pawn. On the contrary, regardless of culture and history, everyone yearns to be the master of his or her own fate.
Some consider it culturally chauvinistic to project our own values elsewhere. They fail to understand that freedom is not a matter of "Westernization," it is the core of modernization. They also fail to recognize that human rights are not made in America that they are universal, that every nation belonging to the United Nations has pledged to honor them, that international organizations from the CSCE to the OAS invoke them in their work.
Some fret that promoting democracy and human rights is a luxury we can ill afford. They fail to understand that this pursuit not only serves our values but interests. Spreading democracy not only warms American hearts but cools foreign threats. What hundreds of billions worth of arms failed to do, rallies of converts did. Gone, the Berlin Wall, gone, the Warsaw Pact. Democracies do not war against one another, democracies make better partners. Democracies do not ignore the environment, shelter terrorists, or spawn refugees. Democracies honor human rights.
Now, for the third time in this century, destiny calls. America must step forth. We must earn the right to enjoy our myriad blessings. I speak about only two. First, the vitality of Americans. Where does it come from? From everywhere. Apologies to Michael Jackson; We are the world. Second, the stature of America. Believe me, despite all the venom the most arrogant dictators may spew they care profoundly where Uncle Sam points a finger, shakes hands, or pats them on the back. They hate losing face, but they crave respectability.
Thus, vitality and stature endow America with extraordinary gifts for making a difference in the world. Like liberty, conscience, hope, they are intangibles. To be true to our legacy, to enrich our future, America must invest in freedom.

Q: Does Google Dataflow support stateful pipelines developed with Python SDK? It seems that Google Dataflow supports stateful pipelines to some extent according to the capability matrix and an early post on Quora
However, while I have a stateful pipeline that runs fine with DirectRunner, I get this error with DataflowRunner:
...

And my code looks somewhat like:
 class AlertEngine(DoFn):
        LOCATION_STATE = BagStateSpec('location', StrUtf8Coder())
        def process(self, msg, location_state=DoFn.StateParam(LOCATION_STATE)):
            location = msg.get('location')
            states = list(location_state.read())
            previous_location = states[0] if states else None
            if previous_location != location:
                yield location
                location_state.clear()
                location_state.add(location)

Therefore I started to be unsure if stateful pipelines with Python SDK are just not supported by Dataflow. I found little information with the Python SDK release notes.

A: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-10786
Dataflow runner has limited support for states (mainly under streaming mode).

Morton Feldman's On Time and the Instrumental Factor
By Paul Beaudoin, Composer & Clarinetist
Written for the concert American Modernism Seen & Heard: The Abstract and Geometric Tradition in Music and Painting, 1930-1975 performed on Dec 20, 1992 at Carnegie Hall.
In 1949, John Cage introduced 24 year old Morton Feldman to fellow composers Earle Brown, Christian Wolff and pianist David Tudor, but, more influential to Feldman were the new painters he befriended: Willem and Elaine de Kooning, Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Lippold and closest of all was his lifelong friend, Philip Guston. For Feldman, this "new painting made me more desirous of a sound world more direct, more immediate, more physical than anything that had existed heretofore. " "My desire here was not to 'compose,' but to project sounds into time, free from a compositional rhetoric." Feldman created compositions using graph scores that designated which register should be played, the time structure for the entire work, and what became Feldman's trademark–a soft, almost inaudible dynamic level. Feldman grew increasingly dissatisfied with the realizations of these scores, by "allowing the sounds to be free –I was also liberating the performer" and the music sounded too improvisational. "It was too one-dimensional. It was like painting a picture where at some place there is always a horizon." Feldman moved to create music which specifically defined pitch but allowed the temporal dimension to remain indeterminate, thus creating a sonic world which Feldman described as "each instrument is living out its own individual life in its own individual sound world." By 1967, Feldman began abandoning graph scores, and his return to precisely notated music is the composition On Time and the Instrumental Factor, completed on August 1, 1969.
"What I picked up from painting is what every art student knows. And it's called the picture plane. I substituted for my ears the aural plane and it's a kind of balance, but it has to do with foreground and background. It has to do with how do I keep it on the plane from falling off, from having the sound fall on the floor. Most people have a sound that doesn't fall on the floor by giving it a system. Harmony or twelve-tone… Now, this could be an element of the aural plane, where I'm trying to balance, a kind of co-existence between the chromatic field and those notes selected from the chromatic field that are not in chromatic series. And so I'm involved like a painter, involved with gradations within the chromatic world. And the reason I do this is to have the ear make those trips. Back and forth, and it does get more and more saturated. But I work very much like a painter, insofar as I'm watching the phenomena and I'm thickening and I'm thinning and I'm working on that way and just watching what it needs. I mean, I have the skill to hear it… I'm the only one that works that way. Buts it's like Rothko, just a question of keeping that tension or that stasis. You find it in Matisse, the whole idea of stasis… I'm' involved in stasis. It's frozen, at the same time it's vibrating."

Maize has the potential to provide one of the highest energy outputs per hectare of any crop – to power livestock diets and anaerobic digester generation.
But how to get the best from the crop? The quick and simple answer to Ask The Kernel. Pose your questions and challenges to the Ask The Kernel panel of leading industry experts, including Syngenta and the Maize Growers Association (MGA).
Read the first Q&A session to get your maize off to the best start here.
Specialists from across the industry will look to use their experience and knowledge to provide practical and proven answers to a broad range of subjects that will improve overall maize productivity and consistency.
How fine do I have to get the seedbed – is it worth the extra cultivation costs?
What is the optimum seed rate for AD maize – is it any different to forage maize?
How soon should I sow – do I have to wait for 10°C soil temperature?
How can I get the best results from my pre-emergence herbicide application?
Does fertiliser placement give maize seed a kick-start for spring?
How do I know if my plants need trace element supplements?
When is the best time to harvest for forage quality?
All weeds should be removed at the earliest opportunity, ideally before they reach 10 cm high and before the crop is at the 4 leaf stage. Prioritise fields with the highest weed population densities, difficult to control weeds and any slow growing crops first.
Based on numerous trials the latest stage of weed removal without yield damage should be no later than 4 leaf stage of the maize crop.
Maize weed control demands a long window of herbicide application and frequently variable target size of weeds within the crop. The 3D nozzle has proven highly effective in delivering better results from both pre- and post-emergence applications. The nozzles offer many benefits, including increased weed control, faster work rates and reduced drift.

Home Entertainment 'Hellraiser': Jamie Clayton To Play Pinhead As Spyglass-Hulu Movie Sets Cast, Clive...
'Hellraiser': Jamie Clayton To Play Pinhead As Spyglass-Hulu Movie Sets Cast, Clive Barker To Produce
Spyglass Media Group has made it official that Hulu and Spyglass Media Group will be hosting David Bruckner's Hellraiser reboot.
Jamie Clayton, Sense8 actress and The L Word: Generation Q actor, has been named the new Pinhead. This role was originally played by Doug Bradley. Hellraiser architect Clive Barker will join the production which has already wrapped as producer.
Spyglass confirmed the news, as did Hulu. Odessa A'zion, Grand Army actress, will be the star of the movie.
The cast also includes Brandon Flynn (13 reasons why, Ratched), Goran Visnjic, ER, Drew Starkey, Outer Banks, Love, Simon), Adam Faison (Everything's Gonna be Okay, Into the Dark), Aoife Hinds, Normal People, Anne Boleyn), Selina L (Boss Level), and Hiam Abbass, (Blade Runner 2049, Succession).
Marc Toberoff is also boarding as producer. He joins Phantom Four's David S. Goyer, Keith Levine, and Barker. Bruckner will be directing a script written by Luke Piotrowski and Ben Collins (The Night House, Super Dark Times), with Goyer's story.
Peter Oillataguerre is President of Production for Spyglass. He stated in a statement that "Next year marks 35 years since Hellraiser first haunted us dreams." Clive, the original visionary horror creator, is fittingly reunited with us. We look forward working with Hulu's partners to bring this original take to new audiences.
Bruckner said, "It's been an honor to have Clive aboard to support and guide us through the amazing universe he created so many years ago." We're looking to write a new chapter in the Hellraiser history with the help of a dedicated cast that is fearless and committed, including Jamie Clayton who perfectly embodies the role of the Hell Priest.
Goyer stated, "Clive Barker was one of my literary heroes from the moment I read The Hellbound Heart." His work is radical and has completely redefined horror. David Bruckner is our guide and we will go back to the source, drawing inspiration from the original novella.
Barker stated, "Having seen some designs from David Bruckner's new Hellraiser movie, they pay homage what the first film made, but take it to places it's never been before." This Hellraiser is on a scale I didn't anticipate. David and his team are deeply rooted in the story's mythology. But what excites me most is their desire for the original to be honored while they reinvent it for a new generation.
The four Hellraiser films have earned just $50M in total, and have been long a cult title for genre lovers. Six additional features were made for the home market. The franchise also includes graphic novels and merchandise.
Spyglass is responsible for overseeing the film's production and development.

On April 13, 2015 April 13, 2015 By Liz HedgecockIn childhood, family, games
Happy National Scrabble Day!
To be honest I had no idea that there even was a National Scrabble Day until I heard it on the radio this morning. However, now that I know I might have to mark it in the calendar. I wouldn't describe myself as a Scrabble fiend, but I do like a game or two.
And now I have new opponents! Last Saturday the boys (8 and 6) wanted to play a game. We've played Monopoly quite a lot lately, so I assumed they'd want to do that. But then the older one said 'Or Scrabble…yeah, can we play Scrabble?'
'Are you sure?'
'Yeah!' from both of them. 'What are the rules? Those tiles look like Bananagrams…'
I explained as best I could, and we got started. I have to say, for a first go, they did pretty well. They both used the bonus squares, and the big one did some impressive multiple word-building. No one cried, and they wanted to play again.
It brought back memories of playing with my parents when I was smallish. Mum almost always won because Dad was more interested in making long words, or words he liked, than going for the best score. Mum was a bit of a shark, going for alternative spellings, the lot. I thought about playing easy words with the boys, but then I remembered how impressed I used to be when Mum put something outlandish on the board, Dad issued a challenge, and it turned out to be a proper dictionary word.
I was too busy guiding the boys to concentrate properly, but I did get one bingo down (MOTIVATE, 80 points). While they said that that wasn't fair because I knew more words, I could see the cogs turning all the while.
So tonight I have challenged the other half to a game. He plays online Scrabble, which I don't really get on with, so this could be tricky.
Let battle commence!

My late submission for Three Words Wednesday and #fridayflash. This week's words: budge, nimble, theory.
The dogs were off the truck before it stopped. The men piled out next, but Alex waited and then carefully handed the 20-gauge shotgun to his brother, Jake, before exiting. He could still see that bloody, careless teen in the hunter's safety video from last week.
Alex's new blaze orange vest was creased along the back, and every pocket was stocked with shells, 40 of them. He wore his lawn-mowing jeans, his mother's red flannel and new boots. He bent and pulled a burr out of the laces.
Jake handed him the gun.
"You look good, but you need a hat," Jake said. "Take mine, it's lucky." He placed the orange and grey cap on Alex's head. It had a camouflage pattern formed from silhouettes of naked ladies.
"Thanks!" Alex pulled the brim low.
Jake was back from college for opening weekend of pheasant season. He had been recounting hunting stories to Alex while their dad had driven to their uncle's farm. Once, Jake had flushed a bird at the end of a field and it ran into a power line and dropped dead at his feet. Another time, he shot a pheasant from the back of the truck as they were driving.
A headwind whipped dust at their faces from the empty creek bed as they lined up for the hunt. The switchgrass on each bank looked greased as it bowed toward them.
They had 10 hunters and two dogs, half the crew on each side of the creek. Jake was on the edge next to Alex.
They marched in a neat line, and Alex gripped his shotgun. His trigger finger circled the safety.
It was hard going; he had to yank his foot through a weave of grass at each step. They traced a bend in the creek, and he got stuck fighting a 6-foot snarl of bushes with his gun above his head.
Suddenly, wings brushed the grass. Bouncing cackles chopped the air. Alex pulled the gun to his shoulder and put a bead above tail feathers now clearing the grass.
He pulled the trigger hard.
Bang! The shot rang from his left and the bird crumpled in a puff of feathers.
"Nice shot!" someone hollered from across the creek.
"Sorry buddy, I was waiting for you to take that one," Jake said as they watched a lab nose through the brush to retrieve the bird.
Alex looked at his gun. The safety was still on.
"My gun jammed," he said and adjusted his cap.
They got four more birds out of the field over the next 100 yards, all of them on the other side of the creek. Finally, they came to a dirt road that marked the end of the field. Everyone relaxed.
Then, "He's on to one!" The black lab was on point; her haunches quivered, but her nose didn't budge, aimed steady at a small patch of grass.
Alex clicked off the safety and carefully walked up beside the dog. He peered into the weeds, looking for the red, green, and gold pattern. He kicked to flush the bird.
Movement, a quick shake of grey, and a nimble rabbit darted between two hunters and across the road. The dog tore after it.
Alex staggered; his foot twisted in a hole; he pitched forward and fell on his gun.
Bang! As the ringing faded, he heard screaming.
Alex stumbled to his feet and then to his brother. Jake was on his back with his hand on his side. The grass was tinged red.
Jake groaned. Their dad shoved Alex aside.
It was 20 minutes before the ambulance arrived. Jake lost consciousness. Alex sat outside the ring of adults and cried.
His father hugged him tight in the waiting room as they waited for the news. After about an hour, the doctor entered.
Alex's whimpers became sobs of joy.
He followed his father into the hospital room. He saw Jake lying in the bed with oxygen tubes in his nose. He ran to the bedside and draped himself over the low rail.
Alex gave his brother a careful hug.
Bull, Alex thought as he looked at the naked ladies camouflage cap beside the bed. It's the lucky hat.
Very good story. Tight and well written. Good mix of tension and humor. Glad he had that hat!
Thanks! I wasn't sure where I was going when I started, and I wish I'd taken some more time to edit (although I did manage to cut about 200 words out). It was fun to write about my home state's favorite pastime!
I think you've done a fine job capturing the thrill of the hunt - as well as the unfortunate incidents that sometimes come with hunting. IT's not a cautionary tale, it's not preachy. It's just right.
Nice one Matt. It went from eager, to worry, and finally to relief... all exciting throughout. Glad it ended the way it did, it could have been a much more unfortunate outcome.
This story went from the thrill of the hunt, to an unexpected surprise, to tragedy, to a tale of a lucky hat. Wow, you got a lot into that one.
Good story! The details throughout, as well as the main character's thoughts, really brought this to life.
Nice debut!! I love the description of the hat (of everything really) and glad it was the thing to come back and save him in the end. Well done.
Thanks for all the great comments! I'm a terrible hunter, but there's nothing better than hiking through rural South Dakota in the fall. The sound of dry corn and switchgrass rustling in the wind is incredible.
As Tomara said, I was very nervous somebody would be killed off! So glad everybody survived! Nice debut - welcome to Friday flash!
Nicely done. This created a good image of a hunter not entirely sure of himself especially with the way you delayed/paced the shooting of the first bird while he's got the safety on. You feel for him when he's too ashamed to admit he had the safety on.

Hugo Ramnek (* 1960 in Klagenfurt/Celovec) ist ein in der Schweiz lebender österreichischer Schriftsteller, Schauspieler und Theaterpädagoge.

Leben und Werk
Geboren in Klagenfurt/Celovec und aufgewachsen in Bleiburg/Pliberk (Unterkärnten) an der österreichisch-slowenischen Grenze studierte Hugo Ramnek in Wien Anglistik und Germanistik an der Universität Wien und am Trinity College in Dublin und besuchte die Schauspielschule Zürich. 1989 übersiedelte er in die Schweiz, wo er seither als Schriftsteller, Schauspieler und Lehrer am Liceo Artistico arbeitet.

Sein erster Roman Der letzte Badegast wurde 2010 mit der Anerkennungsgabe der Stadt Zürich ausgezeichnet.

2012 war er auf Vorschlag von Jurorin Hildegard Elisabeth Keller für den Bachmann-Preis nominiert. Für seinen Text "Kettenkarussell" erhielt er von der Jury gemischte Kritiken, die letztlich nicht zu einer Prämierung führten.

Neben Romanen und Erzählungen schreibt Hugo Ramnek auch Gedichte, die in verschiedenen Anthologien erschienen sind. 2012 erhielt er den 3. Preis des Ersten Zürcher Lyrik-Preises.

2016 wurden Texte von Hugo Ramnek in zwei Theaterproduktionen inszeniert. Im Zürcher sogar theater gelangte Die Tomatensuppenschleuder. Eine musikalisch-theatrale Abklärung auf den Spuren von Dada des Duos MeierMoser & der Huber mit Gedichten des Autors zur Aufführung. Auf den Bleiburger Theatertagen kam mit Einersdorfer Genesis. Eine Begehung eine Leseperformance von und mit Hugo Ramnek sowie Arthur Ottowitz auf die Bühne.

The Medical Radiological Technology Review Program enables MRTs to update their professional skills by reviewing the major principles, theory and procedures used by practitioners today. With the exception of the clinical practicum, all courses are computer based - they may be completed from home! The program exam courses simulate the format and content coverage of the CAMRT national certification examination.
The Program serves technologists who have previous training and experience, but who have not practiced in the past five years. This is an opportunity for them to refresh their knowledge and skills prior to attempting the comprehensive exam and entering the mandatory practicum. Successful completion of the exam and practicum qualifies MRT Review students to re-acquire their Alberta permit-to-practice. This program is recognized by other provinces for technologists who are seeking to re-enter the profession.
The Program's theory courses qualify for the Continuing Competence Program (CCP) hours required of current MRTs by the Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic Therapeutic Technologists (ACMDTT). The computer-based courses range from 12 to 51 hours and are delivered online. Within a generous, but specified time limit, students complete a course of studies at their own pace.
NOTE: This program is not an entry level program.
Visit NAIT and learn more about your program of interest, the services we offer and student life at NAIT. There are a number of different ways to learn more.

Bug 53848 - [UWP] Sotware Navigation Bar not taken into consideration when rendering pages in certain cases.
I notice the problem that can be reproduced in UWP.
This device does not have hardware navigation button bar, so it uses software navigation bar.
It seems that for certain cases software navigation bar is not taken into account when calculating height for view available to render page, which has effect that page is snow from the bottom of the screen up to status bar, but it should be from software navigation bar up to status bar.
So part of page is hidden by software navigation bar.

This weekend seen a busy day for the Vanarama National League with a total of nineteen goals over the course of ninety minutes, with game of the day coming at Dagenham and Redbridge, while another epic game of football happened at Gander Green Lane as Sutton United narrowly beat FC Halifax Town.
Dagenham and Redbridge put to bed a small run of poor results as they came from two goals down to beat strugglers Guiseley 3-2 after Cox's men took a 2-0 lead in the first twenty-five minutes of the game. Full back Lee Molyeneux's deflected effort over keeper Mark Cousins gave the away side the lead before Mike Fondop-Talom doubled the lead. Unfortunately, it was not to be, and John Still's Daggers stabbed Guiseley in the back with three goals, the first coming just before the half hour mark before they levelled just before the break. Howell won it for the home side ten minutes from full-time.
FC Halifax Town travelled down the M1 to play a Sutton United side who sat fourth in the league before kick-off. Billy Heath's men were looking for their first win since September, but Doswell's men had other ideas. Lafayette's effort just on the stroke of half time gave the home side the lead before Dundas doubled the lead in the second half. Tom Denton managed to head home to pull the deficit back to one in hope that the away side would go on and win the game or take at least a point which would have been deserved. This was not to happen though. Lafayette got his second of the game in the 73rd minute. The Shaymen were awarded a penalty after substitute Danny Clarke was fouled, which the captain Matty Brown seen his spot kick crash against the woodwork. Soon after this however, Scott Garner slammed home from close range five minutes from time but the away side were unfortunately unable to get another goal to take a point.
Hartlepool United, on a good run of from recently were unable to continue that as they were beaten at home to Aldershot by two goals to nil. Mensah and Kellerman scored at the end of both halves to give the Shots the victory in the North East.
It has been tough going for the Gulls this campaign as they sit at the foot of the table after just two wins from twenty games this season. Their luck was not to change as AFC Fylde comfortably beat Torquay United by two goals to nil, Danny Rowe getting himself a brace.
Maidstone United and Solihull Moors had to settle for a point each which takes Solihull a point away from fellow strugglers Torquay United. The scoring was opened after just 42 seconds when Joe Piggott got his ninth of the campaign. The game was levelled just under fifteen minutes from the full-time whistle when Kwame Thomas levelled the match. Maidstone will be wondering why they didn't take more given the gap in the table.
Bromley are another side who would have been expecting to do better as they could only manage a 1-1 draw with strugglers Chester on their own patch. It was Chester who took the lead after Ross Hannah netted after latching onto a good ball from Dawson. It was not like that for long though. Bromley equalised a minute later, Louis Dennis who tapped home after Wanadio's effort was parried by Lynch.
Barrow were able to take all three points from Eastleigh and get their second win in thirteen games. Byron Harrison scored the game's first goal after a little over half an hour played, Adi Yussuf with the assist. In the second half, Jimmy Dunne finished the game off by calmly putting a shot into the top corner of the net, no chance for the keeper.
The game in Tyneside was nothing for a neutral to enjoy with just the one goal in the dying embers of a poor-quality game between Gateshead and Tranmere Rovers. After the 5-0 thrashing mid-week in the FA Cup, Micky Mellon's men were unable to get back to winning ways as Adam Buxton's own goal decided the game in the 93rd minute.
After the sacking of Steve Davis mid-week, Leyton Orient managed to get a point against Dover. Nortei Nortey was a little more well behaved as he opened the scoring for the visitors as he fired Dover in front inside 23 minutes. Craig Clay rescued the O's, thirteen minutes from time after combining with James Dayton.
After Ebbsfleet's positive result against Leyton Orient last weekend, they were undone by Wrexham who won 2-0 in Wales, who now are just one point from top with the victory, meanwhile, Ebbsfleet sit twelfth.
Woking after their epic 3-0-win mid-week against Football League Outfit Bury, were held at home to Maidenhead, and went behind after just ten minutes. Charlie Carter managed to level for the home side just before half time, to give Woking a point to take from the game.
Finally, Macclesfield Town continued their good start to the season, even though they played through to a goalless draw with Boreham Wood who sit tenth in the league after twenty games this campaign. It was Macclesfield with most of the chances and Mitch Hancox nearly snatched the three points for the hosts late on.

Q: How to hook up a controller file for new scene in story board In Xcode if a new project is single view application. Xcode will generate a controller.m and .h file. In storyboard, I can press ctrl, point to code to hook up UI elements and controller code. After creating a new scene. I can not do the same with UI elements within the new scene. How do i hook up UI elements within a new scene?

A: If I had to guess, your new scene is a UIView you dragged out. If this is the case, its view controller is still UIViewController, not the subclass you want.
You have two options:

*

*Use the same 'controller' class for the new UIView as well as the old one.

*

*Do this by clicking on the 'View Controller' of your new UIView in the Document outline bar, and then typing the name of your 'controller' class in the Identity Inspector on the right side of the screen.

*Create a new UIViewController subclass for the new UIView.

*

*Do this by going to File>New>File, clicking Objective-C class under Cocoa Touch, then making sure it is a 'Subclass of' UIView Controller. After that, do the same as in step one, but replace 'controller' with whatever you named your new class.

I hope that helped!

A: First make sure that the new scene you are creating is a UIViewController.
Now create a new file. Name it whatever you like, just make sure that this file is a subclass of UIViewController.
Now copy the name of this new file, select your storyBoard, select your new scene/ViewController inside that storyBoard.
Now go to topbar-> view-> Utilies-> Show Identity Inspector.
Now on the right side of screen, under the heading "Custom Class", paste the name of the "new file" you copied earlier.
If you followed the steps correctly, you are GOOD TO GO!! :)

The Art of Collective Co-Construction with Iregular Studio
When we look to the future of public art, what do we anticipate? While technology, form, and materials change, one unwaverable characteristic is that art is here to serve, challenge and enrich the culture receiving it - and in turn, improve the field itself. Iregular, a new media studio out of Montreal, stands at the intersection of large-scale public art, software design, immersive aesthetics, and the city. Creating high-concept pieces with cutting-edge technology designed to knit physical and virtual interaction, Iregular Studio represents the high caliber of storytelling we can look forward to.
In the last few years, the outdoor public space has become one of the safest places to experience art. It opens up access so that people might happen upon a work naturally, while influencing the way that space and surrounding area is engaged with. It presents art in context with life. It creates joy, meaning, reflection, and critical thinking. Premiering this past October in Montreal, on display in Chicago, and opening in Dubai in January 2022, Iregular Studio's "Our Common Home" brings the exhibition to the neighborhood, across four separate buildings with city-scale interactive works.
Highlighting the universal and pressing topic of global climate change, "Our Common Home" asks observers to consider their individual impact through four key perspectives. Viewers do so exploring relationships of power in the human/animal kingdom in "Creatures"; owning and playing with the reality of consumption in "Products"; linking action and consequence to the melting of the "Icebergs"; and interacting with the global feed of images and information in "Telescopes." All together, these storylines offer a playful, illustrative way to consider topics of gravity, linking the individual actions of the viewer/participant to a sense of responsibility and co-creation.
"Our Common Home" is made possible through Iregular Studio's unique in-house software "Cursor," a long-range tracking system used for crowds, combining artificial intelligence and optics, software, and physical objects such as the crowds themselves. Participants interact touchlessly and at a distance, through their bodies and phones, led by intuitive instructions. Cursor allows the team to program and isolate specific features of their audience (ex: hands, body, face, etc) for up to 50 people simultaneously. It's a robust technology designed for long-term use, creating a "permanent" installation that is always changing in relation to its public. Iregular Studio centers the narrative power in the viewer, framing a concept and story, creating a metaphoric structure that the public inhabits and influences to create the "final" piece.
CONTROL NO CONTROL is a big LED cube that reacts to everything that touches it and every movement performed on its surface.
Characteristic of Iregular's style, pieces like Balance (2015), Control No Control (2012) and Points in Common (2020) have a signature minimalism in form and color, with sharp graphics and rich textures, creating a visceral pull that at times emphasizes the linearity of the built environment, and at other times mimics organic forms from nature. "Points in Common" is perhaps a meta example of how the work points back to the subject of interaction in technology itself.
POINTS IN COMMON projected on a building in Montréal.
Using the flashlight of their smartphone, participants can trigger real-time sonic and graphic responses on the big façade in front of them, moving through a collection of experiences created to observe how large groups engage with digital public art. There is a drawn quality to the linework and illustrations that give a sense of the humanity at play, the imperfection that creates a different sort of beauty to contrast technology's cold perfection. Fundamental to any given piece is the element of chance and open-endings, narratives that are built up and erased, only to be re-written by the next participant. As the company has grown to exhibit in some of the larger spaces in the world, their aesthetic has evolved. Examples like "Our Common Home" and interactive mural "Puzzles" showcase brighter, more figurative and concrete graphics, as well as more humor.
RIVER is a permanent installation in a Desjardins Branch located in Downtown Montréal.
Folding inward again towards topics of the environment, and demonstrating the relevance of permanent new media work, "River" (2018) alludes to a water stream that is influenced by the activity of the building's inhabitants, raging or calming with the flow of human presence. Spread over an LED mesh sculptural screen and an infinitely generative software linked to microphones, this piece is visible from the outdoors, processing the sounds inside the bank during the busy days, and venturing outdoors in the street surroundings at night. It reflects nature, seen through the eyes of technology and human movement, producing a meditative "third space" to observe and reflect on, much like a natural stream, or the changing of the seasons.
FORWARD is a generative video projection using software that computes probabilities every single second.
Opening this January in Dubai at the World Expo, "Present in the Future" features dual pieces "Omnipresence" and "Forward" extending the conversation of where humanity sits in relation to the trajectory of technology. "Forward" presents a series of tunnels, infinitely changing pattern and direction, questioning the futility of anxiety over the future which has yet to be shaped. "Omnipresence" creates a digital infinity mirror where one's split-off and multiplied reflections gain a life of their own, complicating our sense of autonomy over representation and digital existence. By building work that utilizes the tools of tracking, Iregular Studio positions its audience in a place of creating with, but also questioning, technology and its role in our futures, as well as our individual feelings toward it.
OMNIPRESENCE is an audiovisual interactive mise en abyme that highlights technology's ability to curate our digital persona using camera and movement sensors.
It's easy to see how this work is influenced by sculptors and immersive artists like Olafur Eliasson, James Turrel, Anish Kapoor, Ryoji Ikeda, and Jesús Rafael Soto, with their attention to subtleties of the environment, light, viewer and sensory experience. Iregular Studio's visuals reach for a similar scale of impact, working in a way that greets the viewer where they are, at the moment they arrive, in the city itself. Images and objects diffuse into the body of the participant, their hand-held devices, their physical response to the metaphor proposed between the environment and themselves. By creating open-ended, person-centered narratives that we can build on, Iregular Studio bridges complex and nuanced cultural topics, generating a platform to model collective creation.
