I make quite a few stitched panoramics. Occasionally I shoot them when I go on holiday and find a cool place. Mostly, though, I shoot them when I'm location scouting. When I come across a new area to potentially photograph somebody in the future, I fire off a few shots to stitch in post. They're very handy for that. But they often suffer from the same problem. All kinds of warping and perspective issues.
The effect is bad enough if your lens already has some natural distortion of its own. When multiple images are stitched it worsens the issue. This video from photographer Rex Jones comes to the rescue, though, showing us how we can correct it in Photoshop. A great method for perfect distortion free images.
2. After the images have been brought into Photoshop, the resulting image is often a little unbalanced. So, merge the layers into one, and use the transform tool to balance out the horizon to give it a symmetrical curve.
3. With the image a little straighter, you'll want to flatten it again. Then, it's time to run it through the Adaptive Wide Angle filter. Even though your stitch might not have been shot with a wide angle lens, it's such an extreme field of view that it is a wide angle shot.
You'll want to use the "Constrain Tool" to map out the horizon. Once you release the mouse button, it will make that curve straight and adjust the rest of your image to compensate.
Of course, you can tweak to your heart's content if it's not quite perfect. But the Adaptive Wide Angle filter is one of those most powerful tools you can use to correct this sort of thing. It's a whole lot easier than trying to use the Warp Transform tool.
You'll still need to crop it down once you've finished your transform, but it's a much better pleasing image.
It works just as well on those ultrawide panoramic shots, too. This distortion puts a lot of people off trying stitched photography. But it really is quite simple to solve.
I use the Adaptive Wide Angle filter regularly for mine. It's the quickest method for getting rid of distortion, and it's so much more powerful than the basics shown in this video.
Man, Hugin or PTGui. Period.
Nice tutorial….Is there a way to save some pixels, at the sides top and bottom of the image?
THANK YOU for including a written tutorial.
Do not like videos – they are too hard to watch and do at the same time, where written tutorials are not.


Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2019 releases on July 13, and is poised to be a set full of accessible experiences for newcomers. However, it also includes a key infusion of cards for veteran players and competitive formats.
Wizards of the Coast is releasing special Planeswalker Decks that feature cards that won't be available in the Core Set - perfect for players who are just starting with the game and want to align themselves with one of Magic's five flavorful colors. All the cards we discuss here today are available only in the black Core Set 2019 Planeswalker Deck!
Today, let's meet one of the major Magic planeswalkers (that definitely wasn't leaked on the internets before today!) as we've never seen her before, a sort of mishmash of abilities from previous incarnations that should be easy for new players to understand and use. Check out Liliana, the Necromancer!
This version of Liliana is available as a guaranteed card from the new black Core Set 2019 Planeswalker Deck. Each color's deck features a headlining planeswalker associated with their color. But wait, there's more!
Liliana may be interesting by herself, but she also has dark minions ready to join her cause. Arisen Gorgon is a decent 3/3 drop for 3, but if you have any version of Liliana on your side of the board, the solid creature also boasts deathtouch, ready to stone gaze down anything that gets in its way. A nice touch for when you need to take on a giant wurm or rampaging ogre!
With Liliana's Spoils, you get the best of both worlds. Not only will your opponent lose a card, but you get to dig into your deck to find whatever's needed at the moment. A big creature, a removal spell, or even Liliana herself! Unlike many other hand destruction spells, Spoils is still useful during a topdeck stalemate situation.
Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2019 lands on July 13, with prerelease events running on July 7-8.

Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia Condemn Israeli Plans to Annex Jordan Valley
September 15, 2019 5:23 AM Ali Salam Arab World, International, International Politics, Israel, Israeli Politics, Israeli Settlement, News Report, Peace process 0
Jordan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Thursday, strongly condemned statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he pledged, if elected, to annex the occupied Jordan Valley in the eastern West Bank, reported WAFA.
Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, spoke from Cairo, where Arab foreign ministers were meeting to discuss Netanyahu's declaration as a dangerous escalation, that will torpedo the foundations of the peace process, fuel the conflict and push the entire region towards violence.
He stressed, according to the Jordanian news agency Petra, Jordan's rejection and condemnation of Netanyahu's declaration, which he considered a flagrant violation of international law and an election ploy whose price will be the killing of the peace process while undermining the right of people in this region to live in peace.
He described the Israeli declaration as a threat to security and peace in the region and the world.
The Qatari foreign ministry condemned the policy in a statement, that this step would totally destroy all chances of peace, calling it another step in Israeli violations of international law, while doing all it can to steal the Palestinian land and deny the Palestinian people their basic rights.
The Saudi royal court made a statement declaring Netanyahu's intentions to be a very serious and a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter and international laws and conventions.
It said it undermines all efforts to bring a just peace to the Middle East, stressing that there will be no peace without the Palestinian people getting their land and rights, proclaiming that any such declaration will be considered null and void and will have no legal base.
"The Kingdom condemns and rejects this declaration," the statement said, affirming that "the Arab and Muslim worlds' preoccupation with many local and regional crises will not affect the status of the Palestinian issue among Arab and Muslim countries and governments and will not stop the Arab nation, which asserted its commitment to peace through the Arab Peace Initiative, from confronting these unilateral measures taken by Israel and the constant attempts to change the facts of history, geography and violation of legitimate Palestinian rights."
It called for an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) at the level of foreign ministers, to discuss this issue and to come up with an urgent action to confront this declaration.

Malaysian PM: Diversion And Communications Shutdown 'Consistent With Deliberate Action By Someone On The Plane'
Paul Szoldra
Mar 15, 2014, 7:18 PM
AP Photo/Kyodo News
A Malaysian official said investigators concluded the missing Malaysia Airlines flight was hijacked and steered off its original course, the AP reported late Friday evening.
After an unnamed Malaysian official told the AP the missing Malaysia Airlines flight was "hijacked," the Malaysian Prime Minister pushed back on the report during a press conference, while confirming erratic actions on MH370 were "consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane."
Speaking to reporters from Kuala Lumpur, Prime Minister Najib Razak said that "despite media reports that the plane has been hijacked, I wish to be clear: We are still investigating all possibilities."
This departed sharply from the AP story, which reported a "[Malaysian] official said that hijacking was no longer a theory. 'It is conclusive.'"
Among the most surprising revelations the Malaysian P.M. confirmed was that communication with the plane was last heard at 8:11 a.m. on the day the plane disappeared — seven hours later than previously thought. Razak also introduced two massive new search "corridors" — a northern corridor stretching from northern Thailand to the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, and a southern corridor stretching from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.
"We have followed every credible lead," Razak said. "Sometimes these leads have led nowhere. There has been intense speculation. We understand the desperate need for information on behalf of the families and those watching around the world."
Within the last 24 hours, investigators had increasingly moved their focus toward the possibility of sabotage, either from a hijacker or rogue crew. But despite the Prime Minister's pushback on speculation of hijacking, his brief statement offered mixed messaging that confirmed details previously reported appearing consistent with foul play.
Earlier on Friday, a senior U.S. official told The New York Times the aircraft made a number of erratic direction and altitude changes before it likely crashed in the Indian Ocean. And the deliberate shutdown of systems to track the airliner indicates the plane's disappearance was more a "deliberate act" than an accident or pilot error.
On Thursday, sources speaking with ABC said they believed the data reporting system was shut down at 1:07 a.m., while the transponder — sending out location and altitude data — was shut down at 1:21 a.m. The 14-minute delay strongly indicated systems were purposely shut down rather than coming as the result of a malfunction or failure in some sort of catastrophic accident.
"An aircraft which was believed but not confirmed to be MH370 did indeed turn back," Razak told reporters. "It then flew in a westerly direction back over Peninsular Malaysia before turning northwest. Up until the point at which it left military primary radar coverage, these movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane."
As a number of commercial pilots told NPR's "All Things Considered" on Friday, with the exception of the transponder, which can be shut off at the flick of a switch, other onboard tracking systems are not as easy to disable.
"They said you'd have to go through big checklists, you'd have to possibly pull circuit breakers if you wanted to deactivate [all the communications equipment]," NPR's Geoff Brumfiel said, citing interviews with pilots. "So, to do this, you'd have to have some degree of premeditation and a lot of knowledge of the aircraft."
The prime minister's statement confirmed a previous New York Times report, which cited a combination of satellites and military radar that was able to continue tracking the plane.
After falling off of civilian radar, radar signals from the Malaysian military appeared to show the Boeing 777 climbing above the plane's maximum ceiling to 45,000 feet before it made a sharp turn toward the west. The data then shows another turn to the southwest and descent to 23,000 feet before it finally settled on a higher altitude and bearing toward the Indian Ocean.
"Today, based on raw satellite data which was obtained from the satellite data service provider, we can confirm that the aircraft shown in the primary radar data was flight MH370," Razak added, noting that investigators from a number of agencies working independently concurred with that assessment.
Investigators, who widened their search area on Thursday to the Indian Ocean based on faint electronic "pings" of technical data from the flight, had since expanded into the Andaman Sea northwest of the Malay Peninsula, based on another "ping" picked up five or six times by a satellite before it was completely lost, Reuters reports.
"Clearly the search for MH370 has entered a new phase," Razak said. "We hope this new information brings us one step closer to finding the plane."

Q: xparse: inputenc error from unicode character in package description I am developing a couple of LaTeX packages for my university. They should be easy to use and widely applicable.
Of course, the packages provide many new macros which I define using xparse's interface e.g., \NewDocumentCommand{\dof}{}{\ensuremath{n}}.
Since I cannot know beforehand if the enduser is going to compile using pdflatex, xelatex, or lualatex, I tend to keep my code clean from any typesetting engine-specific packages.
However, I noticed that in my docker image that I am using for CI of the packages (turning my dtx into sty and the accompanying pdf), I cannot create the sty or pdf files because xparse triggers an inputenc Error.
Locally on my Windows10 machine and an Ubuntu 18.04 WSL, it works without a problem.
The exact error message is
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character ε (U+03B5)
(inputenc)                not set up for use with LaTeX.
See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.115 ...way, it offers a replacement for LaTeX2ε
                                                  's \newcommand
?
! Emergency stop.
 ...

l.115 ...way, it offers a replacement for LaTeX2ε
                                                  's \newcommand
!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I dug a bit into my code trying to find text like it offers a but couldn't find any of this text in my source code. After more and more digging deeper, I found out that the line triggering the error is the description of xparse on ctan. The packages's description reads

The package provides a high-level interface for producing document-level commands. In that way, it offers a replacement for LaTeX2ε's \newcommand macro, with significantly improved functionality.

The culprit is the ε inside LaTeX2ε. What makes things even more strange to me: I cannot find any source code inside my local texlive2019 installation that contains the lines "it offers a replacement for LaTeX2ε" (did a grep -ri "it offers a replacement for" inside of texlive/2019/texmf-dist/ with no results).
Now, I know that I should be using \usepackage{fontspec} (or \usepacakge[utf8]{inputenc}) if I want to type unicode characters in source code like e.g., ε.
And so I used the fontspec package just to check if this fixes my problem, which it does, however, inputenc is specific to pdflatex and fontspec specific to xelatex or lualatex. So then I'd force anyone wanting to use my packages to use lualatex or xelatex as typesetting engine.
So, what's going on here? Is it a "bug" inside of xparse or am I doing something wrong? I've been using LaTeX for more than 15 years now, and I think I know my way around, in particular when typesetting the same document on different OS like Windows and UNIX.
An MWE to reproduce the error would probably look like this
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{xparse}

\begin{document}
Hello, world.
\end{document}

however, it does not reproduce my error. So I'm guessing it has something to do with my package's dtx file and the docker image yet I cannot pin point there actual error's origin.
You can find my docker image (TeXlive 2019 on Ubuntu 18.04) here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/philipptempel/docker-ubuntu-tug-texlive/
I also tried with TeXlive 2018 from my docker image with the same error.
You can review my code and the CI's output in my repo:
https://gitlab.com/philipptempel/latex-failure-xparse
My commands to turn a dtx into a sty:
pdflatex --shell-escape package.ins

And to turn the dtx into a documentation pdf:
pdflatex --shell-escape file.dtx
makeindex -s gind.ist file.idx
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o file.gls file.glo
pdflatex --shell-escape file.dtx

STAR-K FOOD SERVICE KASHRUS TRAINING SEMINAR IS WORTH THE TRIP…EVEN FROM ISRAEL AND COSTA RICA
Shai and Maayan Ben-Eli traveled the farthest – 5,863 miles from Yerushalayim – to attend the STAR-K Food Service Kashrus Training Seminar, held in the agency's Baltimore offices, August 5-7. The Ben-Elis are being groomed not only as STAR-K mashgichim for their upcoming move to Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India, but as the agency's emissaries to the once-thriving Jewish community.
There has been a Jewish presence in Kolkata since 1798, when a Syrian jewel trader, Shalom Cohen, migrated there. Other Jews followed, mostly from Iraq and Syria, who opened businesses and exported silk, indigo, and opium. By the last half of the 19th century, the city was bustling with 3,000 Jews. During World War II, the Jewish population peaked with those seeking refuge. The community teemed with Jewish amenities for its nearly 5,000 Jews until that number rapidly diminished when India gained independence from the British in 1947 and, again, with the founding of Israel in 1948.
Today, only 20 or so Jews remain in Kolkata. Explains Mrs. Ben-Eli, "We will be giving STAR-K hashgacha for the many STAR-K factories in Northern India and the surrounding regions that produce items such as rice, tea, and spices, but we are also moving there to help out its very small Jewish community."
Dr. Isaías Mendelewicz made the 2,075-mile trip to the training seminar from San Jose, Costa Rica. A neurologist by profession, Dr. Mendelewicz helps Chief Rabbi of Costa Rica Rabbi Yechiel Yitzchak Prober of the Centro Israelita Sionista de Costa Rica, by overseeing the kashrus of their small community on a part-time basis.
"Right now, we don't have full-time mashgichim, but we don't have so many events or stores," explains Dr. Mendelewicz. "We do the hashgacha for one meat store and two restaurants; the rest, are simchos like bar mitzvos and chasanas…STAR-K has policies and practices our community can learn from."
The seminar opened with Greetings from STAR-K President Dr. Avrom Pollak. Lectures included: "Food Service Hashgocho"; "The Art of Being a Mashgiach"; The Important Differences Between Ashkenazim and Sefardim"; Kashrus of Beer, Wine and Liquor"; "The Soft Beverage Industry"; "Catering Events, Hotels and Off-Prem Jobs"; "Kashering"; and, "Practical Kashrus in Practice".
In addition to the Vegetable Checking practicum, the participants gained from tours of Market Maven Kosher Supermarket, Goldberg's Bagels, Mama Leah's Pizza, Catering by Yaffa, and the Delta Marriott Hunt Valley Hotel.
Hadassah Rothenberg Levenson and Joellen Kirshtein attended the seminar from Charleston, South Carolina. Mrs. Levenson has a position in the kosher/vegan/vegetarian dining hall of College of Charleston. She is also involved, together with Mrs. Kirshtein, with their shul, Brith Sholom Beth Israel Synagogue, founded in 1878.
"We do a lot of dinners and have a lot of volunteers coming in," mentions Mrs. Kirshtein. "We got a lot of practical information during the seminar on how to handle certain things, so there are no mix-ups. It's been great. The bug checking is amazing!"
"It was also very helpful to learn how to respond to people who give you a hard time about kashrut – to be sensitive and put your point across," adds Mrs. Levenson. "Of course, since vegetable washing is something that I do primarily at the dining hall, learning how to do it efficiently was extremely helpful."
Rabbi Hayim Arking, administrator of the Jersey Shore Orthodox Rabbinate (JSOR), came with one of his supervising mashgichim, Rabbi David Condiotti, and his Rosh Chaburah of Kollel Ohr Halacha – Deal, Rav Binyamin Seruya, to the seminar, in the hope of "strengthening the Vaad to continue what our Kashrut Coordinator, Rabbi Isaac Farhi, has been doing for the past 25 years" and "bring a freshness and new life to JSOR."
"The seminar was extremely helpful," remarks Rabbi Arking, whose agency certifies over 50 establishments, in addition to catered events in the Deal/Jersey Shore area. "It was definitely worth the trip. The networking was extremely helpful and while we were here, we had the opportunity to talk many points over, face-to-face, with STAR-K rabbonim. Their experience in working with local communities and giving hechsherim all over the world enables them to offer expertise and serve as a resource for sourcing substitute products for the number of establishments that are currently looking to turn over to kosher."
The intensive 3-day seminar concluded with STAR-K Rabbinic Administrator Rav Moshe Heinemann offering divrei chizuk. He shared fascinating personal anecdotes and answered queries about everything from lighting fires remotely, use of induction cooking, kashering plastic, glass top stoves, creating a mirsas and amira l'akum issues.
Concludes STAR-K Kashrus Administrator Rabbi Sholom Tendler, coordinator of the seminar, "It is always a pleasure and a chizuk to interact with Mashgichim and Rabbonim from other parts of the country and the world. Many in this group already had experience in Kashrus and Rabbonus, which made it especially enjoyable and allowed everyone to gain from the shared discussions even more. We hope everyone gained from the seminar and we wish everyone much hatzlacha in ensuring Kashrus in their respective jobs and communities at the highest levels possible."

SAN DIEGO, July 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — NuVasive, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUVA), the leader in spine technology innovation, focused on transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive, procedurally-integrated solutions, today announced the launch of Reline MAS Midline (RMM), the next evolution of the Reline system that provides procedural versatility in a compact midline construct.
RMM incorporates extremely low-profile modular implants and advanced system instrumentation to address alignment and potentially reduce adjacent segment transition syndrome. The system, when combined with NuVasive access and interbody technologies, is designed to provide a minimally invasive approach to bilateral decompression under complete visualization, interbody fusion and stabilization with pedicle screws. Delivering screw modularity, RMM allows for greater procedural flexibility while enhancing visibility and access. Furthermore, RMM tulip pull-off strength is comparable to preassembled pedicle screws. Enhanced fixation is achieved with NuVasive's cortical cancellous traction thread form. The system's 5.0mm cobalt chrome construct is low in profile and boasts fatigue strength comparable to 5.5mm titanium.
The NuVasive RMM solution utilizes adaptable, streamlined instruments to support both cortical and standard trajectory techniques. The midline approach is further simplified with the integration of access, interbody and fixation, while modular screw assembly is confirmed with visual and tactile feedback.


A couple of surprising performances in last night's win against the Kansas City Royals. CC Sabathia turned back the clock with 6.2 scoreless innings, and Chris Carter was 3-4 with 2 RBI.
Sabathia proved me wrong, for one night at least. It would be great if he could stay more consistent going forward. Of course, if he pitched against offenses as poor as the Royals' it would be much more likely. However, a win is a win, so a celebration is definitely warranted.
As for Carter, there has been some talk about what to do with this guy while Greg Bird continues to recover. I've heard about two scenarios: 1) Give Matt Holliday more time at 1B and let one of the four outfielders (Gardner/Ellsbury/Judge/Hicks) DH; or, 2) Move Chase Headley to 1B and call up Gleyber Torres or Tyler Wade to play 3B.
For one night, at least, Carter has silenced such talk. Can he keep the chatter on mute? Judging from what I see when YES cameras show the Yankee dugout, Carter is a good guy whose teammates like him. Same for Sabathia. His and Carter's teammates are really pulling for them. As a fan, it's hard to understand, but it's good to see.
Tonight: Michael Pineda vs Kansas City's best, Jason Vargas. Just keep 'em in the game, Big Mike. Keep 'em in the game.

French Open 2016: Matches To Watch On Day 4
Sportz Cosmos / May 25, 2016
With the second round action set to commence on wednesday, things are slowly starting to pick steam at Roland Garros. Here are a few of the matches that have the potential to add make for some must see action on Day 4.
1. Jack Sock (USA) [23] vs Dustin Brown (GER)
Dustin Brown – who announced his arrival to the world on the greatest tennis court on the planet – Centre Court at Wimbledon by taking down Nadal last year, will bring his ever entertaining aggressive style of tennis to this match. His opponent Jack Sock has an equally audacious game with his blistering forehand that has found to produce top spin comparable to Nadal's forehand.
Brown's game is suited more to the faster courts and he will have an uphill task should Sock be in his elements. One thing spectators can be assured is that there will be atleast a few jaw-dropping points from either end of the court.
Prediction: Brown will win more fans with his bold and daring playing style, but Jack Sock has the more solid weapons and greater margin for error. Sock in 4 sets.
2. Nick Kyrgios (AUS) [17] vs Igor Sijsling (NED)
Any match involving the uber talented Australian makes for a must watch tennis spectacle. Sijsling is a lucky loser who is making most of his opportunities. On paper, Kyrgios should find his way into the third round without much fuss. However, nothing is ever so straightforward with the mercurial junior Australian Open winner.
The past few months, Kyrgios has been accumulating more positive on his ledger than negative and one will have to trust the youngster to continue his good work and find his way to a deserving 3rd round.
Prediction: If Kyrgios loses his focus (which is very probable), the Dutch man has the game to make it a tricky match, but I will trust Kyrgios to take this in straight sets.
3. Stan Wawrinka (SUI) [3] vs Taro Daniel (JPN)
The defending champion had quite the rocky start to his campaign this year with his tough 5 setter against Lukas Rosol. Daniel, the No.2 Japanese player on the men's tour does not have the pedigree of the No.1 Japanese player – Kei Nishikori, however Wawrinka will do well to stay on top of his game and not give an opening to the Japanese youngster.
This would be a great match for Wawrinka to make some course correction and get over any nerves that affected his performance in the first round. For Daniel, this would be a great match to get out of the shadow of his more illustrious and popular countryman.
Prediction: Stan started finding his range towards the end of the Rosol match and he should continue that form to take this match in straight sets.
4. Kei Nishikori (JPN) [5] vs Andrey Kuznetsov (RUS)
Nishikori has had a good start to his fortnight in Paris, making simple work of a tricky opponent in Simone Bolelli. His reward is the hard hitting baseline player from Russia who has been finding some good form since the beginning of this year. Expect some powerful baseline rallies and some exquisite double backhanded shots from both these players.
In the end, the World No. 6 has just a little too much game and he will try to get through his match without much wear and tear so that he can have a lot left in the tank for the bigger battles ahead.
Prediction: This should be a well fought match with two players playing some good tennis this year, but in the end Nishikori should emerge victorious in a maximum of 4 sets.

Q: Error: Exception in HostFunction: Attempting to create an object of type 'sets' with an existing primary key value '6' in react native I'm trying to store history of workout in realm, my addHistory function looks like this
export function addHistory(workout, exercise, sets, _id) {
  console.log({
    workout,
    exercise,
    sets,
    _id,
  });
  if (
    _id !== undefined &&
    workout !== undefined &&
    exercise !== undefined &&
    sets !== undefined
  ) {
    // return console.log("HISTORY ", { workout, exercise, sets, _id });

    return realm.write(() => {
      return realm.create("workoutData", {
        _id: _id,
        exercise,
        workout,
        sets,
        workoutDate: new Date(Date.now()),
      });
    });
  } else {
    alert("History is incomplete");
  }
}

Schema of the workoutData is as follows:
exports.workoutData = {
  name: "workoutData",
  primaryKey: "_id",
  properties: {
    _id: "int",
    workout: "workouts",
    exercise: "exercise",
    workoutDate: "date",
    sets: "sets[]",
  },
};

Now when I add sets and click on finishWorkoutHandler the logic works fine before the addHistory function but when addHistory is executed it throws the error as stated in the question.
//finish workout handler
  const finishWorkoutHandler = () => {
    if (sets.length == 0) {
      return;
    }

    let setsFromRealm = realm.objects("sets");

    let workoutData = realm.objects("workoutData");

    let setsArray = [];

    exercises.forEach((exercise) => {
      sets
        .filter((items) => items.exercise._id == exercise._id)
        .forEach((sets) => {
          let _id = 0;
          if (setsFromRealm.length > 0) {
            _id = realm.objects("sets").max("_id") + 1;
          }

          addSet(
            sets.name,
            parseInt(sets.weight),
            parseInt(sets.reps),
            parseInt(sets.rmValue),
            sets.isHeighest,
            sets.exercise,
            _id,
            sets.profile,
            sets.failedSet,
            sets.warmupSet,
            sets.notes
          );

          let indiSet = {
            name: sets.name,
            weight: parseInt(sets.weight),
            reps: parseInt(sets.reps),
            rmValue: parseInt(sets.rmValue),
            isHeighest: sets.isHeighest,
            _id: _id,
            profile: sets.profile,
            failedSet: sets.failedSet,
            warmupSet: sets.warmupSet,
            notes: sets.notes,
            createdDate: new Date(Date.now()),
          };

          setsArray.push(indiSet);
        });

      let workoutDataId = 0;
      let setsArrcopy = setsArray;

      console.log("SETS ", realm.objects("sets"));
      console.log("SETS ", setsArrcopy);

      if (workoutData.length > 0) {
        workoutDataId = realm.objects("workoutData").max("_id") + 1;
      }

      **WORKING AS EXPECTED TILL HERE**

      // problem lies here
      addHistory(params.workout, exercise, setsArrcopy, workoutDataId);
    });
    dispatch(setsEx([]));
    goBack();
  };

the structure of setsArrCopy containing sets is as follows
         [
          ({
            _id: 6,
            createdDate: 2022-09-29T16:27:06.128Z,
            failedSet: false,
            isHeighest: false,
            name: "Thai",
            notes: "",
            profile: [Object],
            reps: 12,
            rmValue: 64,
            warmupSet: false,
            weight: 56,
          },
          {
            _id: 7,
            createdDate: 2022-09-29T16:27:06.151Z,
            failedSet: false,
            isHeighest: false,
            name: "Thsi 3",
            notes: "",
            profile: [Object],
            reps: 10,
            rmValue: 75,
            warmupSet: false,
            weight: 66,
          })
        ];

the logic is also working fine in terms of assigning new ids to the sets being added in a loop. But somehow its throwing error when passing setArrCopy to addHistory function. Although its an array of sets not a single object?

Q: Service in an AlarmReceiver is not getting called in Android In my app, this is how notifications should work:

*

*An AlarmReceiver gets triggered at a fixed time period in the day.

*This AlarmReceiver start a service.

*This service calls a post() method to delay the execution by 5 seconds.

*The code in this post() method is responsible for firing a notification to the user.

Now, the issue is that the notifications are not seen on all phones. In fact, it is only being seen on a handful of phones. Furthermore, some phones show erratic behavior - sometimes showing it and other times not showing it.
Can someone please help me here?
EDIT:
There is an AlarmManager which is setup and it calls this:
manager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
    SimpleAlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY,
    PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, id,
        new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class),
    PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE);

AlarmReceiver.java:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(final Context arg0, final Intent arg1) {
    Intent background = new Intent(arg0, CallNotificationAfter1sec.class);
    arg0.startService(background);
}
}

CallNotificationAfter1sec.java:
public class CallNotificationAfter1sec extends Service {
Context context;

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand( final Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
    final Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
            new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)...
        }
    }, 1000);
    stopSelf();
    return START_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
    this.context = this;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
}
}

A: If the device is sleeping when the AlarmReceiver gets fired, it's only guaranteed to wake up for the onReceive() call of the AlarmReceiver, and it might go back to sleep instantly after that call completes.
Starting a service is an asynchronous call, so the phone might have gone back to sleep before starting the service.
Note the common use of the word "might", as the time the device is awake can be very different from time to time, and phone to phone.
To fix your issue, you need to hold a wakelock. Basically you manually ask the phone to stay awake untill you tell it to go to sleep again. But be very careful of this, and be sure to tell it to sleep again, or you'll be draining ALOT of battery.
I used the following code in one of my old projects to do exactly this:
Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>

Helper class:
public abstract class WakeLockHelper {

    private static PowerManager.WakeLock wakeLock;

    private static String wakelockTag = "my.random.tag.4413";

    public static void acquire(Context context) {
        if (wakeLock != null) {
            wakeLock.release();
        }

        PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
        wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.FULL_WAKE_LOCK | PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP | PowerManager.ON_AFTER_RELEASE, wakelockTag);
        wakeLock.acquire();
    }

    public static void release() {
        if (wakeLock != null) {
            wakeLock.release();
        }
        wakeLock = null;
    }
}

That should be able to fix all your problems.
Hope you get it to work.

A: As documented, you need to set the following for a notification to work. Are you setting them all?
Required notification contents
A Notification object must contain the following:

*

*A small icon, set by setSmallIcon()

*A title, set by setContentTitle()

*Detail text, set by setContentText()

Blue color is the color of sky and height. It has calming but very strong effect. It has a split personality, where darker shades are masculine and lighter shades are feminine. It is associated with young as in baby blue. On the other end, it is also associated with maturity as in navy blue. It is a symbol of kingdom as in royal blue. It is color of universe, suggesting nature and life, as it symbolizes water, earth and sky.
Pure blue is used on most of the engineering products for its strong appeal. This color is used in men's dress, both as a formal and casual wear. Most of formal suites are dark or royal blue. On the other end, jeans are the example of casual wear having a blue shade.
In food photography, blue rarely works as there are very few food items (like some cakes and ice-creams), which are blue in color. Therefore blue is associated with sweet dish and it is hard to visualize any hot dish in blue. It requires a careful placement if we want to use it in the background. Some times, it works as it represents very costly bone china crockery, having rich blue painting on it.
Light shades of blue work in fashion and glamour photography. It is used in dress as well as in make up, especially on eyes. Skin tone stands out against blue hue but be careful for any cast created by the blue background on the skin tone.
Blue in photography works well in background as we are familiar with blue sky in background. It becomes a standard component in landscape and aerial photography.
Almost all shades of blue goes on white background but darker shades will require careful lighting against black background.
Blue is considered as cool color of wavelength in 440-490 nm range. Shorter wavelength shift blue towards violet and then ultra-violet. Ultra-violet is not visible to human eye but the film and the digital image sensor is sensitive to this spectrum and it will record it. This is the reason, why we get blue cast in a photograph, shot at mid-day or at higher altitude. A UV or sky-light filter on the camera lens will solve this problem.
Complementary color of blue is yellow. On CMYK color mode, blue color is produced by mixing cyan and magenta.

My next #fluffyxmas sponsor is Hippeez. Hippeez is a WAHM-owned and operated Canadian cloth diaper company. Hippeez diapers are handmade in Brampton, Ontario by Heather. She started out making fitted diapers, but expanded to make other types of cloth diapers, including fleece covers and hand crocheted Little Fire wool soakers.
I received a large lilac purple fleece diaper cover from Heather. Upon receiving it, I noticed that the cover is made with two layers of fleece, has encased elastic at the waste and legs, and has aplix, with fold back laundry tabs.
Over the past few weeks, I have seen why fleece is often called "the poor man's wool." I am able to use this on my daughter overnight overnight over her prefold or fitted diaper and not have any leaks, while being able to get air to circulate to my daughter's skin. I also LOVE that this cover has aplix because it's easy to put on my daughter, and I'm able to get a wonderful fit.
I would highly recommend buying one of Heather's fleece covers. I love that they are custom made. The only thing I wish was that she had more fleece options, but the options that she does have are cute.
You can buy a fleece cover now or you can enter to win a Hippeez fleece diaper cover for yourself as part of the prize package for a Merry Fluffy Christmas which runs from December 1st-December 5th.
Hippeez sent me a fleece diaper cover to review.
and all opinions are my own.

El bordado de oro es un tipo de bordado que utiliza hebras de oro (o en menor medida, plata).
El bordado de oro se hace generalmente sobre paño, terciopelo o seda. Sobre un tafetán forrado con lienzo fuerte se dibuja el asunto. Se hilvana a la tela que se va a bordar y se cubre toda la superficie del dibujo con hilillo de oro o plata grueso, pasadas y aseguradas por las dos puntas. Para bordar de este modo hay que hacer rellenos para dar realce los cuales se hacen con cartulina amarilla de oro o con hebras de torzal del mismo color.

El bordado puede estar matizado y en este caso se matiza con sedas de colores que, al bordar con ellas, dejan al oro más o menos descubierto. En las sombras, las puntadas de seda ocultan por completo al oro. En las medias tintas, aquel se deja ver entre el grueso de la seda de cada punto. Las degradaciones se consiguen según las hebras de oro que se dejan al descubierto y en las luces solo puede cubrir algo al oro una seda muy fina. Las carnes se hacen con seda floja en dirección contraria a la del oro con puntos enjabados muy finos. Los cabellos se imitan con puntos enjabados según la dirección de los rizos.

En el  este tipo de bordado era muy común para estandartes y casullas de lujo pero se requiere gran inteligencia y mucho gasto. Se llama matizado en girarse al mismo trabajo pero en el cual para gastar menos oro se llenan los oscuros con sedas tendiendo el oro solo sobre las partes en que han de aparecer.

También en oro se borda al pasado abrazando por arriba y por abajo el ancho de la parte que se borda que no suele pasar de 12 milímetros y cuando ha de tener mayor anchura se hace por fajas unidas de las que cada una no exceda de la dimensión indicada y si ha de hacerse a dos haces deben ocultarse los nudos con las puntadas. Si en este trabajo se quiere economizar oro, en lugar de pasar la vuelta de abajo se pasa la aguja por debajo junto al punto por donde acaba de pasar afirmando el bordado sobre una aplicación de cartulina recortada. El pasado sobre terciopelo se sostiene con papel o vitela.

Otro de los bordados de oro es el llamado de setillo. El setillo es una angosta cinta de tejido de hilo de oro que se aplica en tiras inmediatas unas de otras cosidas con seda y de modo que las punturas de la seda formen dibujos que según su forma se llaman setillo de dos puntos, sabino, rombo, serpenteado, onda sencilla o doble, empedrado, muescas, a cuadritos, dado sencillo o doble, muqueta y palos quebrados, cuyos puntos pueden sombrearse con sedas. A todo bordado hecho con hilillo de oro que imite al anterior se le llama bordado al setillo, aun cuando el setillo no exista.

El bordado en oro más barato es el llamado a canutillo (ver artículo principal bordado a canutillo).

William H. Seward was born May 16, 1801, in the village of Florida, Town of Warwick, Orange County, New York. His father, Dr. Samuel S. Seward, was a physician of good standing and the first Vice-President of the County Medical Society. Dr. Seward was a farmer, as well as physician, and also the magistrate, storekeeper, banker and money-lender of the little village. He lived to a good old age, dying after his son's election to the United States Senate, in 1849.
The family was of New Jersey origin. John Seward, the grandfather of William Henry, served in the war of the Revolution, beginning as Captain and ending his campaign as Colonel of the First Sussex Regiment.
William Henry was the fourth of six children, and following the custom of those days, was selected as the least physically robust, to receive a college education. The village school, the academy at Goshen, a term or two in a short-lived academy at Florida, gave him his preparatory training, and at the age of fifteen, he passed the examination for the junior class at Union College, Schenectady, though the rules as to age at that institution compelled him to enter as a sophomore.
He graduated in 1820, having also spent six months of his senior year teaching in Georgia. He was admitted to the bar in 1822 and settled in Auburn, N. Y. He soon distinguished himself in his profession, and acquired a wide reputation for originality of thought and independence of action. He took an active interest in politics and in a public address he outlined the history of the so-called "Albany Regency, "a political clique, who were in complete control of state affairs at that time. His expose of their intrigues led to their political overthrow in 1828. In 1830 be was elected to the State Senate by the Anti-Masons, who at that time were politically powerful in Western New York. He was probably the youngest man ever elected to the Senate at that period, not being quite thirty years of age. He soon became the leader of his party in that body, and was a recognized political force throughout the State. In 1834 he was a candidate for Governor but was defeated. In 1838 he was elected Governor by a large majority, and his administration was in many ways the most remarkable in the history of the State.
In 1843, declining a re-nomination, he resumed his law practice in Auburn. In 1847 he was invited to speak in New York City on the life and character of Daniel O'Connell, and this is said to have been one of the most brilliant oratorical efforts of his public career.
In 1849 he was elected to the United States Senate, and at once took a prominent position in the affairs of his party, and soon thereafter was the recognized leader of the administration party. In 1850 he delivered his famous speech on the admission of California as a state, in which he made use of the expression, "there is a higher law than the Constitution," that has since acquired wide fame. Another of his felicitous phrases, which is so frequently quoted as giving character to the history of his time, is from a speech delivered in Rochester in 1858, in which he' declared that there was "an irrepressible conflict between opposing and enduring forces," and that "the United States must become either entirely slave or entirely free." He was re-elected to the Senate in 1855, and the news of his re-election was received with rejoicing throughout the free states. In 1860 he was the most conspicuous candidate of the Republican party for the Presidential nomination, receiving one hundred and seventy-three votes on the first ballot. He was defeated by Mr. Lincoln, but he immediately entered the campaign and gave him his most hearty support, making many speeches throughout the West. After the election of Mr. Lincoln he was invited to become a member of his cabinet, and was appointed Secretary of State, a position which he filled for eight years with almost unparalleled industry, energy and success. During this period he negotiated nearly forty treaties, most of which were of historic importance. Without doubt his finest acts of statesmanship were his management of the Trent affair, his dignified and determined action at the time of the French invasion of Mexico, the purchase of Alaska, the last of which was an act of judgment and foresight not fully appreciated by the public for many years.
In April, 1865, while he was confined to his room because of injuries from a fall from his carriage, President Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth and at the same time another assassin, named Paine, entered the room of Mr.. Seward, dangerously wounded his son, and with a poniard, inflicted wounds upon him that at first it was thought would prove fatal but from which he slowly recovered.
In 1869 he made an extended tour of California and Alaska, and in 1870-71 he made a journey around the world and was received with distinction everywhere. He died at his home in Auburn, October 10, 1872.
