Intanon to defend BWF Malaysia Masters title against world champion Marin
By Mike Rowbottom
Defending champion Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand reached the women's singles final at the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Malaysia Masters – but defending men's champion Viktor Axelsen of Denmark was beaten in his semi-final by China's Chen Long.
Intanon had earned a quarter-final win over world number one Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei in a repeat of last year's final in this event.
The Thai player made relatively short work of Malaysia's Goh Jin Wei as she progressed with a 21-16, 21-16 scoreline at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur.
But she faces another huge task in the final, where she will face Spain's reigning Olympic and world champion Carolina Marin, who took just 40 minutes to win her semi-final against India's Saina Nehwal 21-16, 21-13.
"She was really quick," said Nehwal of her Spanish opponent.
"She's one step faster than the others.
"I'm happy that I could manage to reach this level.
"My adjustments did work."

Nehwal added: "Maybe the last loss at the World Championships was playing on my mind.
"But I was better this time.
"It wasn't an easy match but I was moving – there I wasn't even attempting to play the shuttle."
Goh's compatriot Liew Daren beat China's second seed Shi Yuqi 21-12, 16-21, 21-11 in his quarter-final but finished complaining of a foot injury that prevented him taking to the court for his scheduled men's semi-final today against South Korea's Son Wan Ho.
Son thus had an extra day to prepare for the final, where he will meet China's world fourth-ranked Chen, who earned his 12th win in 14 meetings over an error-ridden Axelsen 21-13 21-18.

Twitter hits the headlines for something that millennials will find agreeable: #Stickers.
Twitter has been lagging behind fast-growing rivals like Snapchat and Facebook Messenger.
The 'fun' component has been conspicuously missing on this microblogging site. But not anymore. Twitter has rolled out new stickers for both iOS and Android – and it has Snapchat to thank for it.
Snapchat is the pioneer in letting users move stickers around. Users place two fingers on either side of the sticker, then turn the fingers clockwise or anticlockwise to rotate – slide the fingers together or apart to resize the sticker.
And now stickers have become the in thing in social media.
Twitter's new sticker feature allows users to apply custom made accessories, emoji, and props to photos on tweets before posting. You can put up to 25 stickers on a single image, whether taken with the Twitter camera or imported from the phone library.
"Use them to share what you're doing or how you're feeling, to show support for a cause, or to just add some flair," were Twitter's words.
The stickers include multiple sets of accessories, emoji, and props that show up in the app's photo editing section. They appear when a user is sharing a photo on Twitter's mobile app.
There's quite a handful of them to select from: hats, masks, emoji, food, sports gear, you name it.
Twitter places a tiny smiley icon on the bottom right corner of the photo you wish to attach to your tweet.
To pick a sticker, tap on the smiley icon and a new window full of stickers will pop up. The stickers are categorized, so it should be easy for you to find the most suitable one for your purpose.
Once you place a sticker on your photo, you can hold and drag it to move it around. The feature also lets you enlarge, shrink or tilt a sticker by pinching it by using two fingers.
Any fourteen-year-old with a smartphone will tell you that sounds so Snapchat!
And to remove a sticker from a photo, simply tap and hold on the sticker, and drag it to the bottom of the screen.
A trash can icon appears where you should drop the sticker. This option is available only to a sticker you created, as you cannot edit stickers on posts that you are retweeting from someone else.
According to Twitter, users will also be able to view and click the stickers on its web portal Twitter.com.
Clearly, Twitter couldn't deny its love for Snapchat stickers. But before thinking that Facebook is the only social network wanting what Snapchat has, think again.
Facebook Messenger has had stickers for a while but has recently introduced a host of new emojis on the mobile Messenger app.
Downloadable stickers and other visual effect for Messages will also be supported by Apple's iOS 10, which will hit the market this fall.
Twitter has now jumped in on the bandwagon.
Searchable Hashtags, or a Move to the Visual Search Direction?
Despite borrowing from Snapchat, Twitter has managed to put a touch of 'Twitter" on these stickers: they are available as visual hashtags.
When you hit an emoji or sticker, a new list of stories featuring various uses of the same sticker appears – just as it happens with a hashtag.
This means that once you tweet a photo with stickers on it, that photo becomes searchable across Twitter. This means other users who tap on photos with the same sticker on them will be able to find your photo on this visual spin.
This visual hashtag will let users tap on stickers in various tweets and see on a new timeline, how people across the planet have used the same sticker.
Playing "me too" is Not Good Enough!
This was the feedback from many people. A popular feeling across the network's user base is that the company should focus on dealing with its problems rather than looking to mimic other networks.
– Making good on its plans to not count pictures and other media as part of what adds up to the user's 140 characters. Twitter said this change was supposed to be implemented last May.
Twitter hasn't stated any specific plan with its bunch of new stickers. But that allows us room to ponder.
The company may want to monetize the feature to add to its bottom line. For one, it can choose to roll out brand-sponsored paid downloads or sticker packs.
That's what their competition is doing.
Japan's mobile messaging app Line is making huge chunks of cash with stickers. Its sticker packs generate well over $20 million every month, selling a pack at around 1 to 2 dollars each.
The company claims it's currently making more than $270 million a year from the stickers business.
Snapchat, on the other hand, lets companies buy special sticker-like features called Lenses.
For payments ranging from $100,000 to $750,000 in activation fees, a company can buy sponsored lenses from Snapchat and engage their audiences in impactful ways.
It only makes sense that Twitter ventures into the potentially profitable 'stickers' territory to try and generate additional revenue.
In addition, the introduction of the fun component might attract younger users and manage to scale up.
This may be what the company needs, as Its level of engagement has significantly flattened out, with the latest statistics showing its monthly active user numbers standing at 313 million monthly active users – a meager 3 percent growth since last year.

Q: Who is "focker" and why does he own my schema? I have a Postgres DB deployment in Compose.io, and I am using the standard "compose" db for my app.  I would like to wipe out the current DB contents so that I can recreate the DB with a new schema.  I have read that the best way to do this is with "drop schema public cascade", but when I try to do this on my db I get
ERROR:  must be owner of schema public

It turns out that the schema is not owned by admin (the user that compose provides for psql access), but by a user named focker.
compose=> \dn
 List of schemas
  Name  | Owner
--------+--------
 public | focker
(1 row)

I tried changing the schema owner but that fails with the same error as above.
Why is my db set up this way?  Is there any way I can change it so that the admin user can wipe out a db?

A: Unfortunately, I can only answer the question in the title.
Here's an excerpt from an article on Compose.io that might shed some light on your question:

As LXC {Linux containers} doesn't have a nice command line API, Compose has developed its own internal tool. As Docker started as a nice command line for LXC, Kurt noted that Compose's tools were now named, tongue firmly in cheek, Focker. Focker is where all the tools are bundled up and, unlike Docker which focuses on packaging, it concentrates on the resource allocation and managment. The container instances are then connected via Open vSwitch which allows each customer to have their own private VLAN for their database.

Bottom line - "focker" represents the command line API "user" of Compose.io.

In yet another article, we can see the following:

[snapshot] more README

This snapshot is meant to be run with the same minor version
of Postgresql, which is postgres (PostgreSQL) 9.4.5.

To startup a Postgresql environment with this snapshot, run:
`postgres -D conf`

You can then connect to the db by running: `psql postgres -U focker`

...

My best bet would be trying: psql postgres -U focker

I was 13 when my brother started sleeping with me – 15 year old nursing mother
by nkechiarioleblog on 09:28 in news
Blessing, a nursing mother, Blessing, has revealed how her elder brother, Frederick, 35, started having sex with her when she was 13 years old, leading to her becoming a mother at 15.
According to NewTelegraph, Blessing's defilement was discovered after she delivered a baby girl at Stella Obasanjo Hospital, in Edo State.
Frederick was almost lynched after he collected the baby from his sister at the hospital and attempted to dump it in a refuse dump, claiming that the baby was dead.
He was attacked by an angry mob after it was found that the baby was alive and kicking. He has since been taken into custody by the commissioner for Women Affairs.
According to Blessing: "My brother has been sleeping with me since I was 13 years old. Sometimes last year, he sent his wife out of their matrimonial home for about eight months. .
He sent her out, so that he could have his way with me on a daily basis. I had no one to cry to because he is my eldest brother. We lost our mum when I was 10 years old; this made me to stay with him. .
He promised to marry me despite all odds. He told me that I should not terminate the pregnancy. He said that once I was delivered of the baby, he would get someone to take the baby and we would become rich."
The baby and her mother were released to the officials of the Ministry of Women Affairs after some documents were signed by both parties.
On his own part, Frederick said he returned home one day and realised that his sister looked like his wife. He said that he decided to do what husband and wife used to with her. .
He insisted that he couldn't recall whatever happened after then. The suspect, who claimed that Blessing was 17 years old when he defiled her, insisted that she clocked 18 years in January. : NewTelegraph

Celebrated children's author Olivia Lake attends a fundraising party for her organization, Mosaic, a children's art workshop in Summit, Utah. A handsome bartender named Joel catches Olivia's eye, and the two hit it off when he admits her work inspired him to become an artist. Deciding to mentor Joel, Olivia offers him lodging and a workspace at her home, a remote estate with picturesque views. Her enthusiasm for mentorship quickly fades when she discovers Joel has a girlfriend, but Joel stays on as a live-in handyman.
Olivia's longtime neighbor Michael O'Connor is a young financier who views the author as a surrogate mother. When he discovers valuable metal deposits under her property, Michael and his associate, Tom Davis, become extremely interested in buying Olivia's home. After she refuses to sell to them, they enlist a con man, Eric Neill, to convince her to move away from Summit.
Eric orchestrates a run-in with Olivia at a ski lodge. While Olivia meets with a professor of geology to consider sediment tests on her property, Eric pretends to overhear the conversation and warns her the man sounds like a con artist. He should know, Eric explains, his dad was a con back in the day. Although the situation has been manufactured to win Olivia's trust, it works, and a smitten Olivia quickly falls into a romantic relationship with Eric.

Its About People
In late February of this year, Deputy Secretary Sam Rikkers and I had the privilege of visiting Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We had planned to visit a number of companies with a presence in Wisconsin and to learn more about the state of manufacturing and business in those countries. However, what we envisioned became something very different when three days before we landed in Frankfurt, Russia invaded Ukraine.
As we sat down to our first dinner with officials from Wisconsin's sister state of Hessen, it became clear that the value of our visit was much greater than we had thought. For 45 years, we've had this relationship with Hessen, a state in Germany that is remarkably like our state. Agriculture and manufacturing form the foundation of their economy; there's some tourism and lots of beer. But the relationship is akin to old family ties. There are cultural ties and even actual family ties: I was able to meet my mother's first cousins in Wiesbaden while we were there.

Hatpins reached a peak of popularity between the 1880s and 1920s as prominent ladies as well as stage and silent-movie screen actresses fueled the popularity of large elaborate hats without bonnet strings. Having originated in the 1850s to secure straw hats, hatpins became longer and more ornate over time. 1910 saw the height of hatpin length, with the stems alone reaching 10" to 12".
Our Victorian hat pins are for sale at $6 each or a set of 5 for $22 ~ an $8 savings. We'll pick 'em for you. Please add notes if you have a color preference. We will do our very best to accommodate your color preference with your understanding that your color request may not be a color we have in our stock inventory. Each pin varies in total size from about 7" to 9"
(includes top decoration and length of pin).

Q: Retrieve customer revenue I want to create a report with the top 20 customers (based on revenue).
I am using the query:
SELECT dbo.CustTable.AccountNum
,dbo.dirpartytable.NAME
,dbo.hcmworker.PERSONNELNUMBER
,dbo.CustInvoiceJour.SALESBALANCE
,dbo.custinvoicejour.QTY
FROM dbo.CustTable
inner JOIN dbo.HCMWORKER ON dbo.HCMWORKER.RECID = dbo.CustTable.KEV_Worker
inner join dbo.custInvoiceJour on CustInvoiceJour.OrderAccount = CustTable.AccountNum
inner join dbo.dirpartytable on dirpartytable.recid = custtable.PARTY
where CustTable.KEV_Worker = '5633561745'
ORDER BY SalesBalanceMst DESC

I can't find the relation for the customer revenue, after all, that is how I want to sort the report. I am sorting on SalesBalanceMST right now while building the report. Also I am getting multiple records when executing this query.
What am i doing wrong?
EDIT: I now realize I am showing each Invoice Journal, how can I display the Total Revenue of the customer?

A: A similar search from AX 2012:
CustInvoiceJour CustInvoiceJour;
CustTable CustTable;
DirPartyTable DirPartyTable;
select forceLiterals generateonly sum(SalesBalanceMST), sum(Qty) from CustInvoiceJour
    where CustInvoiceJour.OrderAccount == '102372200'
       && CustInvoiceJour.InvoiceDate  >  today()-365
    join TableId from CustTable
    group AccountNum
    where CustTable.AccountNum == CustInvoiceJour.OrderAccount
    join TableId from DirPartyTable
    group Name
    where DirPartyTable.RecId == CustTable.Party;
info(CustInvoiceJour.getSQLStatement());

This shows the following SQL:
SELECT SUM(T1.SALESBALANCEMST),SUM(T1.QTY),T2.ACCOUNTNUM,T3.NAME
FROM CUSTINVOICEJOUR T1
CROSS JOIN CUSTTABLE T2
CROSS JOIN DIRPARTYTABLE T3
WHERE (((T1.PARTITION=5637144576) AND (T1.DATAAREAID=N'xxx'))
AND ((T1.ORDERACCOUNT=N'102372200')
AND (T1.INVOICEDATE>{ts '2015-11-06 00:00:00.000'})))
AND (((T2.PARTITION=5637144576) AND (T2.DATAAREAID=N'xxx'))
AND (T2.ACCOUNTNUM=T1.ORDERACCOUNT))
AND ((T3.PARTITION=5637144576)
AND (T3.RECID=T2.PARTY))
GROUP BY T2.ACCOUNTNUM,T3.NAME
ORDER BY T2.ACCOUNTNUM,T3.NAME

What is different from your query:

*

*no join on HcmWorker, as I do not have your custom field.

*Using sum() to aggregate

*selecting on InvoiceDate

*selection on OrderAccount

*selection on DataAreaId, really important for performance, implicit in AX

*selection on Partition, really important for performance, implicit in AX

You cannot directly sort on a sum, but may on a nested SQL query.

A: I do not know exactly what is wrong in your query but perhaps this information can help you.
Check this standard report CustTopCustomersbyYTDSales, It has some good queries to do that.

ODGC Forums Forum Index -> Course Conversations -> Sustainability in disc golf: What is sustainability?
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 9:41 am Post subject: Sustainability in disc golf: What is sustainability?
Sustainability in disc golf: What is sustainability?
This is the first part in a series on sustainability in disc golf course design.
Sustainability is a word that has been thrown around for many years in the green industry. For the best comparison, I will use golf course maintenance since disc golf shares many of the same concepts and design characteristics as golf. The basic definition of sustainability is, "When using a resource, the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged."
In this instance, the land is our resource. To put it in disc golf course terms it means that when a disc golf course is designed and installed, it does not get destroyed over time. A truly sustainable property will not be negatively impacted over time through normal use, and the resources needed to maintain this property will also not decrease. True sustainability is a very lofty goal, but the intent is to make our properties more sustainable with proper design/installation.
While the concepts of disc golf and golf are very similar, the two are very different when considering installation. Disc golf courses usually use natural pathways, natural terrain and natural openings through the woods. They play around or over existing bodies of water, and the grass we have on most of our fairways was already there.
Golf is the opposite of what disc golf is in this regard because they clear-cut fairways, move thousands of yards of soil, create man-made water hazards, and plant different species of grasses for their rough, fairways, tees and greens. In general, golf courses create the need for more inputs like irrigation, pesticides, daily mowing, etc. Golf has become less sustainable over time because of the demands of the golfers in terms of quality of turf and speed of the greens. I honestly think that is one of the reasons golf has taken such a hit over the last two decades.
This is where I feel disc golf can shine. We can be the sport that puts sustainability at the forefront of our designs and installations. Parks departments should be excited to see someone approach them with the idea of a disc golf course because it can actually be an asset to the park. The difficulty in shifting disc golf toward sustainability will be to get everyone to realize the impacts of the way courses are designed and installed and how that affects the property's sustainability.
Sustainability of a disc golf course would be affected mostly by safety (of the disc golfers and non-disc golf users), compaction and erosion of the soil, and loss of vegetation including existing desirable trees, turf, prairie grasses and other plants. Invasive species such as buckthorn, honeysuckle and many more are not considered desirable.
A secondary issue would be the loss of wildlife. We do not want to claim an entire property for disc golf and force the already existing wildlife to find other areas to live or completely trample and remove the vegetation and trees that already exist. Obviously, any time humans use a property that was not previously maintained or used in that manner, there will be a change in vegetation and wildlife, but good design will allow these things to remain intact as much as possible.
Everyone who reads this article can relate to this topic because we all know of at least one course that has been removed due to safety issues, environmental concerns, compaction, erosion and/or loss of plant material. My goal in writing this series of articles is to promote sustainability and ensure that our courses remain in the ground as long as possible and the game of disc golf continues to grow and improve. I will be focusing on more specific topics and ways for those involved in course development to ensure that their projects are more sustainable.
Mike Harrington has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Minnesota with a focus in landscape design and turf and landscape management. He has spent his entire 20-year career in the green industry, primarily in golf course management and high-end residential lawn and landscape management. He wants to take his knowledge of property management and his passion for disc golf to promote good design and installation techniques in hopes of making disc golf courses more sustainable.
Safety may not be included in the true definition of sustainability, but it definitely plays a role in the longevity of disc golf courses. When courses are designed properly, safety concerns do not arise. In the end, this reduces the resources needed to install courses from the beginning, which in turn makes them more sustainable.
When courses are designed poorly and safety issues arise, it takes extra resources to fix the problems. I am sure most of the avid players out there know of at least one course that has been pulled from the ground due to safety concerns. To truly move our disc golf courses closer toward sustainability, we need to ensure safety is one of the utmost concerns through the entire design and implementation process.
I am sure every designer's dream is to be the person to design the most incredible disc golf experience in the world with epic elevation changes, dramatic water carries, incredibly challenging tight fairways and distance that rivals golf course length. However, sometimes you have to take a step back and take what the property allows or what the property owner desires for the course.
Sometimes the designer needs to embrace providing a "recreational" experience for the local players as opposed to the championship feel for the traveling and avid players. Sometimes the designer needs to ensure that beginners are getting a course they can learn the sport on without alienating them because of too much difficulty or the potential for losing their discs. Safety needs to be a large part of this process since all courses need to be designed factoring in different levels of skill.
Errant throws will be the biggest threat of safety on a disc golf course and need to be considered in all decisions. The easiest ways to reduce the amount of safety concerns will come from good design that factors in all of the potential throws that might happen from people of all skills.
While impossible to completely eliminate all safety concerns from errant throws, the goal is to provide skill-appropriate tee placement, basket placement and fairway proximity and orientation so those issues are kept to a minimum. Tees and baskets should never be placed in close proximity to others and also far enough off adjacent fairways that discs do not get thrown into those areas.
Tees need to be appropriately placed for the skill level that would most likely be playing those holes. However, we all know people of all skill levels will play, so it is up to the designer to offer alternative tees that would be suitable for the lesser skill level players and hope that they play the appropriate tee.
Consider that a beginner might not be able to handle a 300-foot throw off a large hill, but a 200-foot flat throw from the base of the hill might be more suitable. It is acceptable to have both options on this hole, but having the alternate tee available will hopefully encourage some people to throw from that location instead. As they increase their skill, they can always move to the more advanced tee location.
Fairway proximity and orientation are the more difficult factors to address since there is no single defined point like a tee or basket where everyone will be playing from. You need to consider all potential throws from all skill levels. Think of where each skill level is likely to throw if they have their best throw.
Now think of every single skill level and where they might end up on the worst throw to the left of the fairway ... and again for the right side of the fairway. The area that encompasses all of those points is the danger zone, and no tees, baskets or other fairways should come within a close distance of the area.
This is different on wooded holes than it is on wide-open holes, which provides the greatest difficulty in course orientation. Wide-open holes require more room because the errant throws will definitely be wider spread than on a tight, wooded hole. But tight, wooded holes have their own difficulty in that discs often kick off trees and redirect them into the play areas of other holes. All of these situations need to be considered when laying out each hole and the general routing of each course.
Dogleg fairways bring a whole new element of safety concern because the dogleg creates a pinch point where errant throws are bound to end up more frequently. People who cannot execute the proper turn on their disc whether it be left to right or right to left will end up getting caught up on either side of the dogleg. This effectively makes the fairway much longer at this point and someone who misses the dogleg could end up throwing a good distance off the fairway where a wide-open, straight fairway the throwing spread is smaller.
Another large threat to safety comes from the other people using the property. It may not be other disc golfers in this instance; it is the people walking their dogs, the children playing outside the pavilion where their family reunion is happening, or people just walking through the park. These safety concerns arise at every course around the world, and I have seen it just about everywhere I have traveled.
These people need to be considered when designing, despite the fact that common sense and attentiveness would help keep most of them safe. The problem is that our sport is still not known nor accepted by everyone. Sometimes disc golf courses are seen as a hindrance to the other park users because it consumes so much area when you consider all of the other activities. I am sure we all have had discussions with people who had no idea what we were doing.
We can wave our discs in the air and yell, "I am throwing this at the metal basket, please move away from the basket!", but they will stand there with no idea what we are trying to do or why we are trying to warn them. Disc golf simply is not recognized by everyone � even though many disc golfers feel that is the case � and designers need to consider that when entering a park that is used by a lot of people.
The bottom line is safety affects sustainability, and it needs to be considered in the design process or we will continue to have more disc golf courses removed because someone got hurt. Municipalities are supposed to provide fun and safe activities for their residents, and that is the reason they should also value the input of a quality and experienced designer. A good design will put safety first, and a good designer will protect the municipalities' interests not just put in a championship-level course with no regard for any other park activities.
Interesting we could talk about sustainability from the club perspective as well the environmental stuff above.
It takes X resources to build and maintain a course to a certain standard. The club can deliver Y amount of resources. If X exceeds Y the the course goes down hill.
We just need more Y.
I really think Penton is onto something with the travelling road show and tent that he, Ben, et al have been pushing this summer. If we can get discs in hands of new players, we have at least started the process. The next hurdle, as everyone ever has already pointed out, they need somewhere convenient and easy to go throw things at things. We've got to have a course to help harvest casual players who may eventually turn into contributing disc golf members. If we were able to hand folks free discs and a map of a easily navigable course 10 minutes from their house, that would be ideal.
To add a bit of meat to this conversation. Would the board be interested in putting together a special committee with the objective of establishing an Ottawa/Gatineau city limits course? Maybe a new developments committee, or am I behind the times and something similar to this already exists?
I'm sure that is true, but it doesn't mean there isn't a solution. If we don't try I know exactly how many courses will be installed in the city.
Coordinated working groups also really help to keep hot leads going and make the whole effort easier on the individual.
We've been trying since JCP left. The City has not been the most open for our requests, though K-Kyle was made some head way with Orleans land managers. I'd say that's a start, but we are well into a race that start almost a decade ago.
When Phillips' Kars course was looking for approval (and they had the $$, the resources, the staff, the desire and Dan) the City came up with an excuse about safety. The City is a hard nut to crack.
The NCC likes us and is the best group to ask as they have all the land. There's always someone who DG is going to make their life a tad more work. I think this nut is the easiest of the two because land managers know we solve problems.
A real consideration about the type of course is needed, too. It must be extremely beginner/family friendly to get any real movement in numbers. JCP was perfect for this. Then you graduated to CF. It's really a fantastic thing that we had CF when JCP was closed. People seem to forget that we had a course when the main course disappeared.
A lot of work has been done to get a course inside the green belt (or in it). A lot of let downs have also happened. We've had courses designed (on paper) to have them yank the property from under us several months into the excitement.
To say we haven't tried is a pretty big slap in the face of those who have sat in on meetings or had conversations with those in charge of land in the region.
I welcome anyone to approach the powers that be. The Club could support a committee to work on this. I too hope there's a solution.
Thank you for the background Penton. I apologize that my message came across as marginalizing the effort/hours put into the process already. The amount of work that has been put in to try to get a course probably would have built a half dozen courses in another jurisdiction. Being new to the region I certainly don't have a voice in speaking to the past course efforts and I'm sorry it came across as such.
My suggestion/thought is just more aimed at having a dedicated group of people that can help to support each other as few people can dedicate their time individually to such a big task.
A committee could also help to give some guidance/direction to the kind of course and design that needs to be installed. Like you mentioned, a clean beginner friendly course is really the missing piece right now.
All good, Mr. Little. Most heard my rant at the AGM.
Totally agree. It would also get some fresh blood into the game too. Kyle got things done in Orleans. I'm pretty impressed with him and all the work he's done. A good group of dedicated members might break the NCC and get us course near a gold mine (group of players). I keep thinking about the small things the Hog's Back manager would mention in passing. I think there's something there.
I took this down the wrong path. Back on track, Penton!
How do we get more Y?
Safety on the disc golf course and sustainability of the disc golf course can be affected by multiple things. As you saw in my last article, I addressed this from the perspective of the way a course is played, both from the player's standpoint but also from the eyes of the other park users. This article will focus more on the effect that infrastructure and installation have on the appeal of disc golf courses.
We all know that many disc golf courses have been designed, installed and maintained by volunteers since the beginning of the sport. If you are an avid player, you probably even know the person who spends their weekends or evenings on the course working rather than playing.
While we need to be thankful these people are around, we also need to ensure that these volunteers have the right information on how the infrastructure (bridges, steps, basket locations, tee areas, retaining walls, drainage, erosion control and more) and proper installation can affect the safety and sustainability of a course. Simply placing a rubber mat on the ground with a tee sign and digging a hole to concrete the basket in the ground is not good enough to have sustainable courses moving forward.
I feel like the design and installation process is going to make tremendous strides on how our sport and our courses are viewed from the public eye. This includes the parks departments and city officials as well as the other park users and people who know nothing about our sport. If we can improve the image of our courses in the public's eye, we will more likely receive positive comments, and municipalities will actually see adding disc golf to their properties as a positive thing.
A significant amount of time and energy should be invested into planning. We need to know where the normal traffic patterns will be and areas that will be prone to backups of people standing around for a while. These areas will end up with compacted soil, and eventually a loss of turf will occur leading to erosion and a less sustainable course.
Serious thought needs to be put into surface drainage (where the water will naturally move away from an area over the ground) and subsurface drainage (where the water can be moved from one area to another to avoid standing water and erosion in high traffic areas). Erosion control is another factor that should be thought out, and there are products available to prevent erosion in addition to what proper drainage can do to prevent erosion.
Stairways, retaining walls and bridges are another way to help keep a course more sustainable and also safe. Stairways get people up and down slopes that would end up getting compacted and bare. Retaining walls will help to level off areas (especially tee and basket areas), preventing compaction and ultimately the soil from eroding. Bridges need to get people across rivers and over ponds so that we do not erode the soil around these bodies of water.
Even low-lying wet areas can benefit from this infrastructure. By providing these areas with an alternate pathway, disc golfers can avoid getting their feet wet and creating more erosion problems. These are all things that should be thought of in advance and mentioned to whomever is considering putting a course in the ground.
The issues mentioned above and the infrastructure that can help avoid those problems are key to designing and installing sustainable disc golf courses. The goal is to avoid as many of these problems as possible with proper planning.
Part of this planning comes in the initial proposal to the people wanting to put the course in the ground. The additional costs (material costs plus the labor) to properly install the infrastructure need to be mentioned in the beginning of the process. If we do not do these things in advance, the parks departments and municipalities may desire to pull a course rather than rectify a major problem they did not expect.
If sustainability is the goal, then all of these ideas need to be considered. I will touch on these sections of the infrastructure in the following articles.
One of the best courses that I have ever played in terms of infrastructure was Bryant Lake Park in Eden Prairie, Minn. They have retaining walls, leveled tee areas, 20-foot mulch circles around the baskets and erosion control products � all things I had rarely seen in my disc golf travels when I played that course a few years ago.
I have since seen a lot more of those efforts being used, and I hope that more courses will continue to see the added benefit of including these ideas in the design process and implementing them upon installation.

Last year RBS finally returned to profit after a decade of losses, and while it was only a minor profit there was still a sense that the bank may have turned a corner in turning the tide of regular losses.
Not surprisingly the market reaction to the £752m profit was a little underwhelming given that the bank still had to settle its dispute with the US Department of Justice, and had only set aside another £764m in respect of that.
This top up brought the total provision up to $4.4bn, still leaving it well short of what investors feared the total bill might be, with sums of $10bn being mooted in some quarters given previous precedents with respect to other banks.
It is therefore with a sense of relief that this morning's news that the bank had reached a provisional settlement of $4.9bn has seen the share price surge higher as the prospect of a significant obstacle that had been hanging over the bank looks finally to have been cleared.
Despite this morning's surge the share price still remains below the highs for this year and still below the 330p level that the UK government sold its first stake back in 2015.
The removal of this cloud of uncertainty also raises the likelihood that the bank may be able to report a profit for this year as well, now that the prospect of additional large scale provisions appears to have been removed.
Since its full year results were published RBS management announced plans to further cut costs with 162 branch closures, in addition to the restructuring plans which were announced in February. These changes are expected to cost about £2.5bn by the end of 2019, as the bank looks to implement the ring fence regime by 1st January 2019.
Today's news, if confirmed, opens the way to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to look at the plans that he announced in his budget last year to start the disposal process of the government's 71% stake in the bailed out bank, as early as next year.
There has been speculation that this morning's news could open the way for the start of dividend payments, which would also be welcome news for the government given its majority stake in the bank.
There will be some criticism that the sale of the stake would incur a loss for the taxpayer but it is also true that any prospect of making a profit from the bailout disappeared long ago. The banks losses over the last ten years are already in the region of £65bn, in addition to the cost of the bailout, which means it was never likely that the stake would ever be sold at a profit.
This doesn't mean RBS problems are over given the current questionable behaviour at its now defunct Global Restructuring Group, which continue to hang over the bank like a black cloud, particularly given the reluctance of the regulator to sanction the full release of the report into the public domain.
Provision here was left unchanged at £400m in February, though this could come in higher in the coming months. What is more uncertain is the reputational damage which could well be longer lasting, raising the prospect of how you value the potential intangible effects of future lost business this episode is likely to cause in the future. The rebranding to NatWest of RBS branches in England may well go some way to addressing that particular issue.
On the underlying core business at the end of last year the bank continued to do fairly well, though its net interest margin remains on the low side at 2.04%, despite the recent rise in interest rates, while net income fell short of expectations.


Students in New Jersey's schools can choose whatever gender they wish to identify as, and school officials do not have to inform their parents.
The state's rationale is to protect LGBT students as not all parents are supportive of their children's identity choices. New Jersey's neighbor Delaware originally had similar language in its DOE regs, but it eventually gutted the lack of parental notice provision.
Bergen County Education Association President Sue McBride said the rules "give students a safe space to learn and grow." Of course, others feel they usurp parental rights … not to mention give boys who identify as girls certain advantages in the athletic arena.


Current: What do RSA Conference 2017 and my DVR have in common?
Another year, another RSA Conference. At this point, I have lost count of my appearances at this annual gathering of all things security - I believe it was number 15 or 16 for me. I say "appearances" because the days blur into such a steady stream of meetings, discussions and general sensory overload that at the end of the week, I know I 'appeared' many places, but still wish I had time to participate in more. There is so much that happens at this event it can be both inspiring and intimidating. A walk through the Exhibitor floor quickly gives one the sense of magnitude of our industry. So when I reflect back on the conference, it feels as if someone sat on the fast forward button on the remote control for my DVR and flashed through the episodes of The Big Bang Theory, Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Scandal waiting for me when I return from the conference.
Next, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. For those fans of the TV show, you know that the team of agents work fearlessly to keep the world safe. We have our own version of these agents in our industry. No security event would be complete without the many super heroes fighting the forces of evil. Our industry is on the front lines of some serious conflicts. As Zully Ramzan stated in his eloquent keynote, the security and risk profession is the barrier between opportunity and the edge of chaos.
Finally, the intrigue of Scandal awaits. Scandal, if you haven't seen the show, has an endless series of twists and turns as the characters weave their way from one treacherous skirmish to the next. While I suspect most organizations do not face the political turmoil chronicled in the TV show, businesses today face a constantly shifting environment of threats that would seriously challenge Olivia Pope, the savvy protagonist of Scandal. The threats facing organizations today are immense and require individuals dedicated to doing the right thing. In Scandal, they are referred to as 'gladiators' and our industry is full of them.
This year's RSA Conference had many highlights. But the highlight for me, is that this conference, year after year, continues to push our industry forward. Great minds come together and share experiences. Those new to the profession learn new skills; seasoned veterans are inspired to keep learning. I am proud that RSA is such a vibrant contributor to this conference. Whether we are inviting you to reimagine your identity strategy, push the boundaries of the detection of attacks, ignite your business risk management program or get out in front of fraud, RSA continues to change the game and help organizations implement business-driven security. It was a great conference for 2017...I can't wait to appear at RSA Conference 2018.

Надлишковий код () — в теорії кодування завадостійкий код, здатний відновити цілі пакети даних у разі їх втрати. Такий код дозволяє боротися з витоками даних під час передачі каналами зв'язку або роботі з пам'яттю. Зазвичай він використовується, коли точна позиція втрачених даних відома апріорі.

Принцип роботи
Надлишковий код перетворює повідомлення з  символів у довше повідомлення (кодове слово) з  символів так, що вихідне повідомлення може бути відновлено за  будь-якими символами. Такий код називається  кодом, вираз  — кодовою часткою, вираз  — ефективністю прийому.

Надлишковий код зазвичай використовується на верхніх рівнях стека протоколів каналів передачі та зберігання інформації.

Оптимальний надлишковий код
Оптимальний надлишковий код відрізняється тим, що будь-яких  з  символів кодового слова достатньо для відновлення вихідного повідомлення, тобто вони мають оптимальну ефективність прийому.

Перевірка парності
Розглянемо випадок, коли . За допомогою набору з  значень  обчислюється контрольна сума та додається до  вихідних значеннь:

  .

Тепер у набір  з  значень включено контрольну суму. У разі втрати одного із значень , його можна буде з легкістю відновити за допомогою підсумовування:

  .

Більш складні комбінації шуканих і отримуваних значень є .

Лінійний код
Важливим підкласом надлишкового коду є лінійний код. Його назва пов'язана з тим, що він може бути проаналізований за допомогою лінійної алгебри. Нехай  — вихідні дані,  — матриця розміру  тоді закодовані дані  — коди можуть бути представлені як . Припустимо, що приймач отримав  компонент вектора , тоді вихідні дані можуть бути відновлені за допомогою  рівнянь, пов'язаних із відомими компонентами вектора . Нехай матриця  розміру  відповідає цій системі рівнянь. Відновлення можливе, якщо всі ці рівняння лінійно незалежні і в загальному випадку це означає, що будь-яка матриця розміру  оборотна. Матриця  називається генеруючою матрицею коду, тому що будь-який допустимий  може бути отриманий як лінійна комбінація стовпців матриці . Оскільки її ранг дорівнює , то будь-яка підмножина з  закодованих елементів має містити інформацію про всі  вихідних даних. Для отримання вихідних даних необхідно вирішити лінійну систему: , де  — підмножина з  елементів вектора , доступних на приймачі.

Поліноміальна передискретизація

Приклад: Несправна електронна пошта ()
У випадку, коли  надлишкові символи можуть бути створені як проміжні точки на відрізку, що з'єднує два вихідні символи. Це показано на простому прикладі, який називається несправною електронною поштою:

Аліса хоче надіслати свій телефонний номер (555629) Бобу, використовуючи несправну електронну пошту. Цей вид пошти працює так само, як звичайна електронна пошта, за таким винятком:

 Близько половини всіх повідомлень губляться.
 Повідомлення довші за 5 символів заборонені.
 Це дуже дорого.

Замість того, щоб запитати у Боба підтвердження повідомлення, яке вона надіслала, Аліса вигадує таку схему:

 Вона розбиває свій телефонний номер на дві частини  і надсилає 2 повідомлення Бобу — «A = 555» і «B = 629»
 Вона будує лінійну функцію , у цьому прикладі . Таким чином  і .
 Вона вважає значення  і , а потім відправляє три надлишкові повідомлення: «C=703», «D=777» і «E=851».

Боб знає, що вираз для  наступне , де  і  — дві частини телефонного номера. Тепер припустимо, що Боб отримує «D = 777» і «E = 851».

Боб може відновити телефонний номер Аліси за допомогою  і , використовуючи значення  і , які він отримав. Більш того, він може це зробити, використовуючи два будь-які отримані повідомлення. Отже, у цьому прикладі кодова частка дорівнює 40 %. Зауважимо, що Аліса не може закодувати свій номер телефону лише в одному повідомленні такої пошти, оскільки він складається з 6 символів, а максимальна довжина одного повідомлення — 5 символів. Якби вона відправляла свій номер телефону частинами, запитуючи підтвердження кожної частини від Боба, то було б відправлено мінімум 4 повідомлення (два від Аліси і два підтвердження від Боба).

Загальний випадок
Наведена вище лінійна конструкція може бути узагальнена до поліноміальної інтерполяції. У такому разі крапки тепер обчислюються над кінцевим полем , де  — число біт у символі. Відправник нумерує символи даних від  до  і посилає їх. Потім він будує, наприклад, інтерполяційний многочлен Лагранжа  степеня , так що  дорівнює  -ому символу даних. Потім він відправляє . За допомогою поліноміальної інтерполяції одержувач зможе відновити втрачені дані у разі, якщо він успішно прийняв  символів.

Реалізація у реальному світі
Цей процес реалізований у Коді Ріда — Соломона з кодовими словами, сконструйованими над кінцевим полем при використанні визначника Вандермонда.

Майже оптимальний надлишковий код
Майже оптимальний надлишковий код вимагає  символів, щоб відновити повідомлення (де ). Величина  може бути зменшена за рахунок додаткового часу роботи процесора. При використанні таких кодів необхідно вирішити, що краще: складність обчислень або можливість корекції повідомлень. У 2004 році існував тільки один майже оптимальний надлишковий код з лінійним часом кодування та декодування — .

Застосування
Надлишкові коди застосовуються в:

  (наприклад, у групі з надійного мультимовлення IETF)
 3GPP (MBMS та eMBMS ()
 однорангові мережі, наприклад, для вирішення проблеми передачі останнього блоку даних
 Розподільні сховища.

Corvette C1 235/155
Chevrolet Corvette C1 235/155
In 1927 General Motors hired designer Harley Earl who loved sports cars. GIs returning after serving overseas in the years following World War II were bringing home MGs, Jaguars, Alfa Romeos, and the like. In 1951, Nash Motors began selling an expensive two-seat sports car, the Nash-Healey, that was made in partnership with the Italian designer Pinin Farina and British auto engineer Donald Healey, but there were few moderate-priced models. Earl convinced GM that they needed to build a two-seat sports car, and with his Special Projects crew began working on the new car, "Project Opel" in late 1951. The result was the hand-built, EX-122 pre-production Corvette prototype, which was first shown to the public at the 1953 General Motors Motorama at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City on January 17, 1953. Production began six months later. The car is now located at the Kerbeck Corvette museum in Atlantic City and is believed to be the oldest Corvette in existence.
The 1953 model year was not only the Corvette's first production year, but at 300 produced it was also the lowest-volume Corvette. The cars were essentially hand-built and techniques evolved during the production cycle, so that each 1953 Corvette is slightly different. All 1953 models had Polo White exteriors, red interiors, and black canvas soft tops. Order guides showed heaters and AM radios as optional, but all 1953 models were equipped with both. Over two-hundred 1953 Corvettes are known to exist today. They had independent front suspension.
By December 1953, Chevrolet had a newly equipped factory in St. Louis ready to build 10,000 Corvettes annually. However, negative customer reaction in 1953 and early 1954 models caused sales to plummet.
In 1954, only 3,640 of this model were built and nearly a third were unsold at year's end. New colors were available, but the six-cylinder engine and Powerglide automatic, the only engine and transmission available, were not what sports car enthusiasts expected. It is known that 1954 models were painted Pennant Blue, Sportsman Red, and Black, in addition to Polo White. All had red interiors except for those finished in Pennant Blue that had a beige interior. Order guides listed several options, but all options were "mandatory" and all 1954 Corvettes were equipped the same.
Chevrolet debuted its small-block, 195 hp V8 in 1955 and the engine found its way into the Corvette. At first 1955 V8 Corvettes continued with the mandatory-option Powerglide automatic transmission (as did the few 6-cylinder models built), but a new three-speed manual transmission came along later in the year for V8 models only. Exterior color choices were expanded to at least five, combined with at least four interior colors. Even soft-tops came in three colors and different materials. Despite all this, only 700 1955 Corvettes were built, making it second only to 1953 in scarcity. Very few six-cylinder 1955 models were built, and all documented examples are equipped with automatic transmissions. The "V" in the Corvette emblem was enlarged and gold colored, signifying the V8 engine under the hood and 12 volt electrical systems, while 6-cylinder models retained the 6-volt systems used in 1953-54. Rare option estimate: Manual transmission (75).

Lifeguard was present as Toronto teen died in Algonquin Park lake, says fellow student
Parents and grief counsellors are en route to Algonquin Provincial Park this afternoon to pick up the remaining students on a canoe trip that ended after the drowning death of Toronto high school student Jeremiah Perry.
Canoe trip cancelled after Jeremiah Perry, 15, died while swimming in a lake inside the park

Jeremiah Perry, the 15-year-old Toronto boy who died on a canoe trip at Algonquin Provincial Park, was not wearing a life-jacket in the water, but he and his classmates all had to pass a swim test "two or three weeks" before the trip, says a friend and fellow student.
The students were three days into their canoe trip northeast of Toronto when Jeremiah, 15, slipped under the water on Tuesday around 8 p.m. ET while swimming in Big Trout Lake. When he didn't resurface, police were called.
Boran Balci, 17, said he, along with Jeremiah and other students "went together for a swim, because [they] were dirty," having travelled in the wilderness since Sunday.
"If the lifeguard is not there, you can't go," said Balci, adding that a lifeguard was present when the students went into the water. Balci said he was wearing a lifejacket, but Jeremiah was not.

Balci is one of 18 students who returned to C.W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute by bus around 1 a.m. on Thursday, appearing physically and emotionally drained, and clearly still coming to grips with Jeremiah's death. He broke down in tears during the interview with media outside the school.
Parents and grief counsellors were en route to Algonquin Provincial Park on Thursday afternoon to pick up the remaining students.
Students airlifted from Algonquin Park after divers pull their classmate's body from lake
Melissa Defreitas was one of the parents waiting at C.W. Jefferys on Thursday morning — she fought off tears reflecting on what her daughter experienced.
"Just speechless right now, you know, it was very traumatic," Defreitas said. "It was hard, saying thank God your daughter is alive, but knowing someone's else's kid is dead."
Ontario Provincial Police spent the better part of 20 hours conducting a search and rescue mission as Jeremiah's fellow students waited for news.
Most of them were still at Big Trout Lake when his body was discovered late Wednesday afternoon.

The students had to be airlifted out of the park a few at a time to a designated location, where a bus was waiting to take them home.
As they boarded it Wednesday evening, they were given cellphones and asked to call their parents. For most of the teens, this was the first time they had spoken to their parents since Jeremiah had gone missing.
'It was very scary'
There was no cellphone coverage in the camping area at the park, so parents couldn't reach their children. Rita Mondle, whose daughter was on the trip, felt helpless.

"It was very scary, it was scary," she said. "I'm just glad to have her back, that's all I can say."
Shari Schwartz-Maltz, a spokesperson for the Toronto District School Board, was at C.W. Jefferys as the families reunited. The school had counsellors on hand all day Wednesday.
"Schools are a lot more than schools, they are communities, and in that community we had all kinds of people coming in all day — parents, friends, kids at the school, community members — and we had social workers on site and a lot of people holding each other," Schwartz-Maltz told CBC Radio's Metro Morning on Thursday.
"It was a tough day. A tough, tough day."
School board to look into incident
The board will co-operate with the OPP as they investigate, Schwartz-Maltz said.
Jeremiah was among students from C.W. Jefferys and Westview Centennial Secondary School on the trip.
More than 35,000 students — from children to adults — are involved in summer-school programs across the TDSB, and the Algonquin trip is "one of many outdoor-education programs," Schwartz-Maltz told reporters Wednesday afternoon.

Six adults were accompanying the 33 students on the trip — a better supervision ratio than the typical 15-1 for such excursions, Schwartz-Maltz said Wednesday. There were two teachers and four outdoor education specialists.
On Thursday, she noted that all students are required to pass a swim test before they can go on such trips, but could not provide details about where and when the tests took place, deferring to the staff member who was still with the remaining students at the park Thursday.
Schwartz-Maltz could only say that typically, swim tests include water safety, lap swimming and underwater endurance evaluations.
Balci said he, and other students on the trip were taken to Sparrow Lake near Gravenhurst, Ont., for two days, about "two or three" weeks ago to pass a swimming test. He couldn't quite remember what the test entailed — clearly tired and in shock over the death of his friend.
When asked on Metro Morning Thursday whether the TDSB will reconsider future trips, Schwartz-Maltz said when any sort of troubling incident happens during an excursion, "then we take a good, hard look at what happened."
However, Wednesday wasn't the day to start that process, she said.
"We need to talk to the kids, we need to talk to the teachers, we need to talk to the leaders," she said. "And we need to find out what we did right, whether there are any lessons to be learned and then all that will determine future trips."
Jeremiah's older brother, who also attends C.W. Jefferys, was also on the trip but joined his family shortly after learning about the death.
Mayor shares condolences
When asked about Jeremiah's death at a news conference on Thursday afternoon, Toronto Mayor John Tory said his heart goes out to the family, students and parents.
"It's just the most unspeakable thing that ever can happen, because you're not supposed to lose your children in an accident or otherwise."
He added that it's now time to wait for questions to be answered and the investigation to take place, before determining what happened.

Some of the biggest names in film, music and modeling have been hitting the streets of downtown Riverhead and were spotted elsewhere on the East End this week, according to social media photos and postings.
"Girls" has been out filming this week in East Marion, as northforker.com previously reported, but all three actresses have been on the East End filming a movie called "The Other Women," set for release in 2014, according to film site IMDd.
Crews have been shooting the movie on Dune Road and Post Lane in Quogue, according to film reports.
There were also unconfirmed reports the same trio of stars were also spotted at upscale Riverhead Project restaurant, also on East Main Street.
This isn't the first time Jerry and the Mermaid, a seafood restaurant and bar, was treated to a night of celebrity.
While in town for a celebrity golf tournament in September, 2011, NBA legend and television personality Charles Barkley belted out an, ahem, interesting rendition of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" on the Karaoke machine at the restaurant. He also posed for photos with Blue Waves cheerleaders.

Q: Tkinter move two widgets at once Why if i create two widgets, it stops working?
My main frame loop:
import tkinter as tk

class LobbyGUI(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        self.main_window = tk.Tk()

        self.x = 200
        self.y = 200
        self.height = 500
        self.width = 900

        self.main_window.geometry(f"{self.width}x{self.height}+{self.x}+{self.y}")

        super(LobbyGUI, self).__init__(self.main_window)

        self.pack()
        self.main_window.update_idletasks()

        self.widgets = dict()
        self.widgets['search'] = SearchWindow(self.main_window)
        self.widgets['search2'] = SearchWindow(self.main_window)

        self.main_window.bind("<Configure>", self.on_drag)

    def mainloop(self, n=0):
        while True:
            self.update_idletasks()
            self.update()

    def on_drag(self, event):
        for widget in self.widgets.values():
            widget.place()

And there is a class supposed to dynamically follow the root window:
class SearchWindow:
    def __init__(self, root):
        self.root = root
        self.top = tk.Toplevel(root)
        self.width = 100
        self.height = 20
        self.top.geometry(f"{self.width}x{self.height}+0+0")

        self.place()

        self.top.overrideredirect(1)  # remove title border
        self.entry = tk.Entry(master=self.top, width=self.width, borderwidth=0, highlightthickness=0)
        self.entry.pack()

    def place(self):
        x = self.root.winfo_rootx()
        y = self.root.winfo_rooty()
        width = self.root.winfo_width()
        self.top.geometry(f"+{x + width - self.width - 50}+{y + 20}")
        self.top.lift()

It works fine with one SearchWindow child, but doesnt with two. Where could be an issue with this approach?

A: Okay, after couple of hours i've succeed.
All we need to do is to filter real change of main frame position from other events mapped to <Configure>. This may not be an effictive way, but atleast it's working:

Solution 1:

class LobbyGUI:
    def __init__(self):
        self.main_window = tk.Tk()

        self.x = 200
        self.y = 200
        self.height = 500
        self.width = 900

        self.geometry = f"{self.width}x{self.height}+{self.x}+{self.y}"
        self.main_window.geometry(self.geometry)

        self.widgets = dict()
        self.widgets['search'] = SearchWindow(self.main_window)
        self.widgets['search2'] = SearchWindow(self.main_window)

        self.main_window.bind("<Configure>", self.on_drag)

    def on_drag(self, event):
        for widget in self.widgets.values():
            widget.place()
        if self.geometry != self.main_window.geometry():
            for widget in self.widgets.values():
                widget.lift(aboveThis=self.main_window)
            self.geometry = self.main_window.geometry()

    def start(self):
        self.main_window.mainloop()

class SearchWindow(tk.Toplevel):
    def __init__(self, root):
        super(SearchWindow, self).__init__(root)
        self.root = root
        self.width = 100
        self.height = 20
        self.geometry(f"{self.width}x{self.height}+0+0")

        # self.top.overrideredirect(1)  # remove title border
        self.entry = tk.Entry(master=self, width=self.width, borderwidth=0, highlightthickness=0)
        self.entry.pack()

        self.place()

    def place(self):
        x = self.root.winfo_rootx()
        y = self.root.winfo_rooty()
        width = self.root.winfo_width()
        self.geometry(f"+{max(x + width - self.width - 50, 0)}+{y + 20}")

And i came up with second idea right now. Very bad, but not to mention:

Solution 2:

def mainloop(self):
    while 1:
        self.main_window.update()
        for widget in self.widgets.values():
            widget.lift(aboveThis=self.main_window)
        self.main_window.update_idletasks()

Q: Nice model theoretic properties of a theory after adding predicates I would like to know what nice model theoretic properties (for example simplicity, NIP, stability, etc) can be preserved when we add a new predicate to the language.
Explicitly, if T is an L-theory and LP=L∪{P} (a new predicate). Under which conditions of T we have that the new theory TP obtained by a suitable interpretation of the predicate P becomes simple? or NIP? or stable?
I know, for example, that if T is simple and eliminates the quantifier ∃∞ then TP is simple (Chatzidakis, Pillay). But, what other theorems like this are known? Are there easy examples witnessing the failure of this ``preserving nice properties'' phenomena?
Thank you in advance for the possible answers...

Tech: Nokia CEO sees possible benefits from Huawei tensions
FILE PHOTO: Rajeev Suri, Nokia's President and Chief Executive Officer, speaks during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain February 25, 2018. REUTERS/Yves Herman/File Photo
Nokia Chief Executive Rajeev Suri said on Tuesday the company could benefit from a U.S. clampdown on Chinese rival Huawei as the race to roll out 5G services heats up.
Asked about the regulatory problems facing Huawei, he told investors: "Perhaps there is long term opportunity but more than that, it's hard to say at this point."
Analysts expect Nokia and its Swedish peer Ericsson to benefit from tensions between the United States and Huawei, the largest supplier of mobile network technology.
Nokia last month reported a surprise quarterly loss after it failed to supply 5G telecoms equipment in time.
Suri acknowledged the company had been a little slow in getting 5G technology up and running, citing merging its own technology plans with those of acquired Alcatel-Lucent as a reason.
"We are late in 5G by a few weeks to a couple of months," Suri told the Finnish company's annual shareholder meeting.
Nokia said it has won one additional commercial 5G contract since it reported first quarter earnings in late April.
"We are winning deals and rolling out some of the world's first 5G networks," Suri said.
"We now have 37 5G commercial contracts - 20 with named customers including T-Mobile, AT&T, STC, and Telia - and more than half of them include wider portfolio elements that our competitors cannot match," he added.
Suri told investors he remained confident the company would reach its annual financial guidance. Nokia repeated in April its forecast for 2019 underlying diluted earnings per share of 25-29 euro cents, and non-IFRS operating margin of 9-12%.
Shares in Nokia were up 1.9 percent in late trading in Helsinki.

The Margin: Do kids still get polio vaccines? Is polio airborne? What you need to know
The New York health department reported the country's first case of polio in almost a decade on Thursday, which has sparked plenty of questions about whether polio was eradicated, who still gets vaccinated against the potentially paralyzing virus, as well as how it spreads.
In fact, Google queries for "is polio vaccine required in the U.S." and "do kids get polio vaccines?" spiked more than 5,000% in the 24 hours after the news was reported, according to the Alphabet-owned
GOOGL,
search engine's trending search data. Questions about polio symptoms, how it spreads and whether the virus is airborne were also breakout Google searches following the new polio case.
So here's what you need to know about polio, drawn from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
What is polio?
Poliomyelitis (aka polio) is a very contagious, disabling and life-threatening disease caused by the poliovirus that largely affects children under 5. It spreads from person-to-person, and can infect the spinal cord, which can lead to paralysis. But it has been largely eradicated across the globe through vaccination.
What are some polio symptoms?
While 72 out of 100 people infected with the poliovirus won't show any visible symptoms, one out of four people with poliovirus present the following flu-like symptoms that usually last two to five days:
A smaller proportion of people (less than one in 100) can develop more serious symptoms affecting their brain and spinal cord. These include paresthesia (feeling pins and needles in the legs) and meningitis (a spinal cord/brain infection.
But one in 200 infections can lead to irreversible paralysis or weakness in the arms, legs or both. And 5% to 10% of those paralyzed die when their breathing muscles also become immobilized.
The CDC notes that some kids who seem to recover from childhood bouts of polio can still develop muscle pain, weakness or paralysis as adults, somtimes 15 to 40 years later, in what is called post-polio syndrome.
Is polio contagious, and is polio airborne?
Polio is highly contagious, and spreads person-to-person most commonly through contact with the feces (poop) of an infected individual. Less commonly, it can spread from droplets sprayed by the sneeze or cough of an infected person.
The poliovirus, which only infects people, enters the body through the mouth and lives in an infected person's throat and intestines. The virus can also live in an infected person's feces for many weeks, and contaminate food and water in unsanitary conditions. The CDC explains that people can get infected by picking up small pieces of feces on your hands, and then touching your mouth. Or it can spread by putting objects (like toys) in your mouth if they have been contaminated with feces.
And yes, people with no symptoms can still spread the poliovirus and make other people sick. An infected person can spread the poliovirus immediately before symptoms appear, and up to two weeks afterward.
How is polio treated?
The WHO notes that there is no cure for polio, and what treatments that are available focus on alleviating or limiting symptoms, such as heat and physical therapy to stimulate muscles. Some antispasmodic drugs are used to relax the affected muscles, but there is no way to reverse permanent polio paralysis.
The best course of action against polio is to get vaccinated, health officials say. The two types of vaccines include an inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) given as an injection in the leg or arm, depending on the patient's age, which is the only inoculation against polio that has been given in the U.S. since 2000. And then there is the oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), which is no longer licensed or given in the U.S. but is still used in some parts of the world. On rare occasions, the attenuated (live but weakened) virus in the oral polio vaccine can mutate and regain virulence. It appears the New York resident making headlines had a vaccine-derived strain of the virus, perhaps from someone who got a live vaccine. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative says that children are far more at risk from polio, however, than any side effects from the polio vaccine.
The CDC reports that 99 children to 100 out of 100 kids who get all four of the recommended doses of the inactivated polio vaccine will be protected from polio. And the WHO says that thanks to polio vaccines, more than 18 million people are able to walk today who would have otherwise been paralyzed by the poliovirus. But both health agencies warn that it takes just a single case to put the public at risk, with the most vulnerable people being those who never had a polio vaccine, those who never received all of the recommended doses, and those who travel to areas that could put them at risk of polio. This is why U.S. health officials are monitoring the New York case so closely.
Are polio vaccines still required in the U.S.? Do kids still get polio vaccines?
Yes, the CDC recommends that infants and children get four doses of the inactivated poliovirus vaccine, given by a shot in the leg or the arm, on the following schedule: one dose at 2 months old; one dose at 4 months old; one dose sometime 6 through 18 months old; and one more dose between 4 and 6 years old.
Health officials say most adults don't need to get a polio vaccine if they followed the inoculation schedule as kids. There are three groups who are exceptions to this rule, however, who should consider getting vaccinated again, including:
Anyone traveling to a country where the risk of getting polio is greater.
Someone working in a laboratory and handling specimens that might contain polioviruses.
Healthcare workers treating patients who could have polio, or who have close contact with a person who could be infected with poliovirus.
The CDC says these adults should get three doses of IPV; one at any time, followed by a second dose one to two months later, and a third dose six months to a year after the second. Check with your healthcare provider. And adults who are at increased risk of exposure to poliovirus and who have previously completed a routine series of polio vaccines can also receive one lifetime booster dose of IPV.
Where is polio still found today?
The good news is that the Global Polio Eradication Initiative — which is spearheaded by national governments, WHO, Rotary International, the CDC, UNICEF, as well as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance — reports that wild poliovirus cases (as opposed to circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus, which is what may have caused the case in New York) have decreased by more 99% since 1988, plummeting from an estimated 350 000 cases in more than 125 endemic countries to 175 reported cases in 2019. There are three strains of wild poliovirus, and two of them have officially been certified as globally eradicated. But as of 2020, wild poliovirus type 1 still affects two countries: Pakistan and Afghanistan, particularly in the border areas.
The CDC says the United States has been polio-free since 1979 (meaning there is no year-round transmission of poliovirus in the United States) thanks to its vaccination program.
The Rockland County, N.Y. resident who tested positive appeared to have a vaccine-derived strain of the virus, perhaps from someone who got a live vaccine — available in other countries, but not the U.S. — and spread it. The CDC says it is consulting with the New York State Department of Health to investigate how and where the individual was infected, and to provide protective measures, such as vaccination services to the community to prevent the spread of polio to under- and unvaccinated individuals.

The roof thermal image helps pinpoint the cause of the leakage, even those that go undetected with the naked eye.
NIR utilizes roof thermal imaging scan inspections to pin-point areas of moisture intrusion and target those areas needing repair or upgrade.
Infrared analysis is a non-destructive testing method and can quickly identify large areas of saturation with an immediate thermographic image. Roof thermal imaging via infrared technology is used by NIR to detect moisture through temperature differentials across virtually every type of roof surface.
Roof thermal imaging combined with NIR's decades of moisture detection field experience allows NIR to make repair and upgrade recommendations which will help customers avoid costly premature roof replacements.
Roof thermal imaging and thermal scans can quickly identify wet insulation. Thermal scans of a roof system and walls can help locate wet insulation which is indicative of a failing roof system and reduces the energy efficiency of the roof structure.
The roof thermal image helps pinpoint the cause of the leakage, even those that go undetected with the naked eye. Extensive wet insulation will lead to discussions regarding whether or not a complete roof replacement is necessary, before potential emergency situations result from a complete roof failure.
The sooner a roof problem is found, the sooner it can be addressed. Preventative roof maintenance will help enhance the lifespan of an otherwise good roof structure and will help reduce the amount of damaged roof product ending up in a landfill. Roof thermal imaging can be a greener solution.
