What Are the Benefits of Cloud-Based Wealth Management?
Thanks to broadband Internet, ubiquitous wifi, and cloud computing, we've moved past the need for individual applications on individual computers, each installing new programs from a CD onto their hard drive. Now, everything is either downloaded and installed from the cloud, with companies using browser-based applications to manage information.
Cloud-based wealth management is more reliable, secure, trustworthy, and scalable than many of the banking and FinTech apps of the past. It's considered the #1 preferred security technologydeployment method. And 52% of businesses use cloud-based services as an important factor in their infrastructure growth. So cloud-based computing allows wealth management professionals to work from any device on any operating system, from anywhere in the world and lets their customers access their important information as well.
Here are four benefits of cloud-based mobile platforms like Cheetah and the mobile app CheetahGO for trust accounting and other wealth management functions.
Cloud-Based Wealth Management is More Reliable
Different computer operating systems have different issues. There may be different variations of an operating system, different hardware, and different applications already installed. That means big problems for local software on your hard drive.
There are so many bugs and issues on those machines that a new application may clash with the existing ones, causing bigger problems. Even updates can cause new conflicts. Plus, your updates may not be a high priority, but you need them to complete your work.
But by using a cloud-based system — which means the platform is accessible on a web browser — our developers only have to create one version of the software. The result is fewer interruptions, less downtime, and less reliance on someone else to fix a problem.
Cloud-Based Wealth Management Is More Secure
We use cloud-based servers because they're more secure than an in-house server. Security on cloud-based servers like AWS, Microsoft, or Google is better than any company can afford. Their security software is AI-based and can learn from attacks on it. The more bad actors try to break into one of these servers, the smarter the system gets.
Small, in-house servers don't have this kind of security software because it's too expensive. Even if they had it, the small servers don't see the same number of attacks, which means they're not as "smart" as the cloud-based servers, which makes them more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. A cloud-based server may know how to repel millions of attacks, whereas the in-house server will only know how to repel thousands, which means those unknown attacks are more likely to be successful.
Cloud-Based Wealth Management Is Trustworthy
Our CheetahGO mobile app communicates directly to Cheetah through its API library. That means everything you do in CheetahGO gets pushed straight to Cheetah, and everything you request gets pulled right from your Cheetah system. There's no delay, no data inconsistencies, and you don't need to worry whether your information is syncing properly. It's a straight communication between the mobile app and the Cheetah system.
Additionally, CheetahGO is not available on app stores, which means unauthorized people cannot download it to try to break into the system. In short, if you're not authorized to use the CheetahGO app, there's no way you'll even know it exists.
When you need to download the mobile app, there's a QR code in your browser-based app. This QR code is only available to users with sufficient permissions. You can scan and download the app directly to your phone. That means you know who has access to the app and can see your customers' data.
Cloud-Based Wealth Management Is Scalable
What do you do if you add new professionals to your operation? Rather than buy and install new copies of critical software, it's only necessary to add a new user. It's done in seconds and doesn't require extensive IT support and oversight to ensure it's all done correctly. An admin within a trust department or wealth management firm can do it without IT oversight.
Downsizing is just as easy. Rather than having an expensive software installation going unused until that role is filled (if it ever will be), just log into the admin portion of Cheetah and delete that user from the role. And if you're paying for a monthly subscription, you can immediately cut that cost and resume it when you hire a new person.
Cheetah and CheetahGO make browser-based wealth management possible. Everything is scalable, secure, reliable, and easy to manage. If you would like to learn how to put those features to work for you, please visit our website and schedule a free demonstration.

Q: Print information in "test mode" but not in "normal execution" I am using an application in c++ that uses a special dprintf function to print information, this is an example:
dprintf(verbose, "The value is: %d", i);

What is doing is when I define verbose for test purposes then I print the information and when I am working in normal execution I do not define it and I do not see useless information in the screen. My question is how can I do that function or implement the same idea?.

A: #ifdef DEBUG
#define dprintf(format, ...) real_dprintf(format, __VA_ARGS__)
#else
#define dprintf
#endif

Here real_dprintf() is the "real" function that is invoked, and dprintf() is just a macro wrapping the call.

A: The preprocessor solution will work, but it can be annoying to have to rebuild to change from one to the other.  I will often make the decision at run time.  I first declare:
static void do_nothing(const char *fmt, ...) { (void)fmt; }
extern void real_dprintf(const char *fmt, ...);
void (*dprintf)(const char *fmt, ...) = do_nothing;

Then in initialization code I have
if (getenv("APPLICATION") && strstr(getenv("APPLICATION"), "dprintf"))
    dprintf = real_dprintf;

This way I can quickly change modes by changing the value of an environment variable.

A: I try to avoid using var-arg c-style functions for two main reasons:

*

*They are not type-safe, can't use operator<<

*They don't recognize when too few or many arguments were provided

I've made a way that works using boost::fusion, which is given arguments in a type-safe way. It iterates over those arguments, printing out them when a % is encountered. If too few or too many arguments were given, an exception is thrown.
There is one problem still: Variadic macros are not yet standard in C++. So, i have made two versions. One that work with current C++. You have to invoke it using
dprintf("name: %, value: %\n", ("foo", 42));

Then. The other version, using variadic macros, can be used by defining a preprocessor symbol, which enables you to write
dprintf("name: %, value: %\n", "foo", 42);

Here is the code. The boost.fusion provides more details for this:
#include <boost/fusion/include/sequence.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/make_vector.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/next.hpp>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <iostream>

template<typename IterS, typename IterSeqE>
void print_vec(IterS b, IterS e, IterSeqE, IterSeqE) {
    while(b != e) {
        if(*b == '%') {
            if(++b != e && *b == '%') {
                std::cout << '%';
            } else {
                throw std::invalid_argument("too many '%'");
            }
        } else {
            std::cout << *b;
        }
        ++b;
    }
}

template<typename IterS, typename IterSeqB, typename IterSeqE>
void print_vec(IterS b, IterS e, IterSeqB seqb, IterSeqE seqe) {
    while(b != e) {
        if(*b == '%') {
            if(++b != e && *b == '%') {
                std::cout << '%';
            } else {
                std::cout << *seqb;
                return print_vec(b, e, next(seqb), seqe);
            }
        } else {
            std::cout << *b;
        }
        ++b;
    }
    throw std::invalid_argument("too few '%'");
}

template<typename Seq>
void print_vec(std::string const& msg, Seq const& seq) {
    print_vec(msg.begin(), msg.end(), begin(seq), end(seq));
}

#ifdef USE_VARIADIC_MACRO
#  ifdef DEBUG
#    define dprintf(format, ...) \
         print_vec(format, boost::fusion::make_vector(__VA_ARGS__))
#  else
#    define dprintf(format, ...)
#  endif
#else
#  ifdef DEBUG
#    define dprintf(format, args) \
         print_vec(format, boost::fusion::make_vector args)
#  else
#    define dprintf(format, args)
#  endif
#endif

// test, using the compatible version.
int main() {
    dprintf("hello %, i'm % years old\n", ("litb", 22));

The Norway national junior handball team is the national under-20 handball team of Norway. Controlled by the Norwegian Handball Federation, it represents Norway in international matches.

History
The slower development of men's handball in Norway is reflected in the fact that the Scandinavian nation have rarely managed to break into the top 10 positions at the IHF Men's Junior World Championship. The clear best result was fourth place in 1995. Aside from that ranking, Norway have only placed in the top 10 Four other times – the last being in 2019.

Discover the stories behind Calvary's clients || Norm Peace shares the high notes and life lessons from his life in the community.
Veteran Digger Norm wanted to be a bus driver when he returned home from serving in World War II.
Instead Norm became a dairy farmer through the soldier settlement scheme. Together Mavis and Norm managed a dairy farm in the Goulburn Valley for over thirty years.
Passionate about vehicles, Norm dabbled in motor racing. He also rode Indian motorbikes and Harley Davidsons before fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming the local school bus driver.
After 'retiring' at 70, Norm promptly returned to work. He helped out in the bus workshop and drove the motorised cleaner until age 87.
A keen and self-taught musician, Norm plays the harmonica and squeezebox. A regular volunteer entertainer at the local retirement community, Mavis sometimes accompanies him on the piano.
Each day Norm makes fresh orange juice, brings in the washing and keeps Mavis and his Calvary Support Workers entertained with a suite of humorous jokes.
Never give up on your goals or dreams.
It took me thirty one years to achieve my dream to be a bus driver. I drove the school bus for thirteen years and I loved every minute of it. Those kids kept me young. I respected them and they respected me.
You can't take your money with you.
People say they will do all these things when they retire. I think you should enjoy it now. In 1979 Mavis and I bought a small caravan and have travelled all over Australia together. People said we were mad but I wanted to see the country. We crossed the Nullarbor 15 times and drove to Broome twice.
There are plenty of places in Australia to see but it is a long way between waterholes.
Australia is such a beautiful country with so much to see.
My favourite place is Our Lady of Mt Carmel church in Mullewa. It was built by Monsignor John Hawes and the local parishioners using stone from the local quarry.
Have you ever seen a wreath flower? It is a wildflower that grows in a circular pattern in Western Australia.
Great support is available to help you live at home.
The Home Care Experts help us out through Veterans' Home Care. We also get Meals on Wheels delivered except on a Sunday when we order a double pizza deal.
You can't carry a piano in your pocket, but a mouth organ can go anywhere with you.
I entertain the oldies at Pine Road and have even played at a fair in Tasmania.
My first harmonica cost six pence and I taught myself how to play it and the squeezebox. Each night I would go into the kitchen to practice. Playing a harmonica is like riding a bike. You never forget how to do it.

I don't need to tell you the stats. You already know how addicted many of us are to our phones, tablets and laptops. And, these devices can distract us from the most important people in our lives – our family.
I think we can all nod in agreement. Yes, technology can be a wonderful thing that makes our lives easier and better. Perhaps you work at a job that requires you to be on call and available 24/7? Most of us use social media in some way for our jobs. Or, maybe you use it as a way to relax…surfing Facebook or Netflix for entertainment. But, if you let it, it can pull us away from those we love the most…chewing up valuable time that we would have spent chatting, catching up on the day, connecting. Do you want to show your kids that they come first? Let's start with baby steps. For just one day, our friends at Parenting Power and YMCA Calgary are asking you to disconnect from technology…and connect more with your family.
The #NoPhoneFamilyDay challenge is Monday, February 20th, which is Family Day here in Alberta and a statutory holiday with a different name in other provinces. Are you up for the challenge?
What a perfect opportunity to just tune out digital distraction for a day and engage more with your family – get outside, be active, play a game, eat a meal together…maybe cook a meal together.
I am giving away a Family Pass for 5 to Calgary's new Acura Tube Park at Canada Olympic Park in honor of the #NoPhoneFamilyDay campaign. A huge thank you to Winsport for donating the pass, which is good for four hours of non-stop riding on any day you choose. After all, it's pretty hard to be on your phone when you are whizzing down the tube track at top speed! We'd love if you could share this movement with your friends, using the hashtag #NoPhoneFamilyDay.
Over the Christmas break, we tried out the Tube Park and had a blast…check out my video here!
leave a comment on this blog post telling me how you and your family like to spend quality digital-free time together.
Thanks for entering and the winner will be announced February 1st. Have an awesome Family Day everybody!

Q: How to access language file inside config? How we can use language file inside config.php php codeigniter?
I searched to find solution just from out side the config we can set item in config to use language file for setting config item value, but how we can set config item using language file inside config file?
for example i want to do as bellow:
$config['item'] = array(
    '1' => $ci->lang->line('my_name')
);

A: You use wrong way. You try make view function in config file. You can make this in template or may be in model.
You should change your application architecture.

A: you can't access ci object in config file because this is load before CI_Loader class.
but you can update config.php field later on run time, using $this->config->set_item('key', 'value'); function in controller/model/library
sample code in controller __construct(){} method
public function __construct(){
  $this->config->set_item('item', array('1' => $this->lang->line('my_name')));
}

Another way use hooks to update item globally, more detail available on CI documentation.


Below is the painting I did today. I was starved for paint, doing nothing creative except but my box-a-day all through the holiday.
The book I finished today was so tedious and negative that it put me in a foul mood. I had read it because a famous author interviewed on NPR gave it as his one favorite book recommendation. I had planned on it being my blog entry today, but since I thought it merited only about two stars if I was generous, I decided it didn't deserve the honor of being named here!
Compassionately, my husband graciously took on some driving of the children around to appointments and classes today which I would have normally done. This allowed me time to paint! It did the trick of centering me once again and I've got so many ideas, hopefully I'll be painting much more now as our schedule settles back down to a post holiday routine. And my next book couldn't help but be better! Thank you to my knight in shining armor!

Between bandwidth concerns and bad actors, is ping more trouble than it's worth? We used PingPlotter to find out.
There's a modern saying:
If you want to freak out, just type your symptoms into Google.
It doesn't take much to go from 'my throat itches' to 'I HAVE ALL DISEASES PUT ME IN THE BUBBLE!'
Network forums can be the same way. You start looking for advice on how to ping a server, then all the sudden a tinfoil hat-wielding maniac is waving his hands in the air screaming how you're seconds away from breaking every PC in existence.
Ok. Maybe it's not that bad.
Still, it's hard to parse the fact from fiction when you have people talking about pings of death, denial-of-service attacks, and general chaos breaking loose the moment you ask about pinging a server.
So how much of it is true? Does pinging too much make things worse? Can a tool like PingPlotter do more harm than good?
Today, we find out!
We rigged up PingPlotter to show, once and for all, how much harm ping can really cause. And the results are...well, you'll see.
ICMP, yeah you know me
But first? Some context.
The biggest concern around pinging a network often has to do less with the act and more with the protocol used — ICMP.
The Internet Control Message Protocol is one of the primary methods network hosts use to exchange important diagnostic information. ICMP carries all sorts of info, from redirect instructions to timestamps for time synchronization between devices.
That's what ping actually is. One machine is like, "u up," and the other is like, "mhm 🍆🍑?"
What makes ICMP so special? For starters, it's lightweight. Because of the streamlined nature of the payload, ICMP frames are typically 64 bytes in length — the smallest Ethernet will allow. This lets devices communicate with incredibly low bandwidth overhead.
Next, ICMP functions on a separate OSI model layer than other packets. Since ICMP operates on layer 3, it is traditionally unimpeded by data transmission. This allows devices to communicate regardless of what else is happening in the pipeline (most of the time).
So, if ICMP is so light and fast, what's the problem?
Well, as it turns out, you can make anything into a weapon if you throw it hard enough...
A lot of trepidation around ICMP comes from its historical ease of abuse. ICMP has been used to do some pretty gnarly stuff, from compromising security to completely shutting down servers. While most of these issues are relics of a wild-er west of networking, the stigma lingers.
The most infamous problem is the "ping of death." True to its name, the ping of death utilizes a flaw in how hosts resolve ICMP requests larger than the Internet Protocol is built to handle. By making a packet larger than 65,535 bytes (the maximum size allowed by IP), bad apples can force a device to crash while trying to reassemble it.
Fortunately, enough precautions exist today that prevent pings of death from taking down a host. Modern firewalls can be set to check incoming packet fragments and confirm the completed packet falls within protocol parameters. In addition, a device's memory buffer can be set to larger than IP allows, preventing pings of death from causing a buffer overflow (which is what causes the device crash in the first place).
In addition, due to the nature of how a ping of death actually operates, it does not explicitly require the use of ICMP — any protocol can generate a packet larger than IP allows. In that sense, ICMP isn't really to blame for pings of death at all.
Another issue is security. Remember how we mentioned ICMP operates on a different OSI layer? This can circumvent firewalls and other protections focused on filtering traditional data. While you may have specific ports open or closed to regulate traffic, ICMP has its own lane. Leaving it open can allow enterprising individuals access to information you'd much rather they not have.
Much like with the ping of death, the modern security concern has become a bit overblown. For the last several years, many network admins have been blocking all ICMP traffic by default to prevent abuse using the protocol. However, the truth is many of these precautions are far too excessive and come at the cost of legitimate network functionality. ICMP exists for a reason and blocking it off completely undermines some incredibly important features.
And then there are the practical issues. When using a tool like PingPlotter, you have the power to send ping packets like nobody's business to hundreds, if not thousands, of devices. Even with such a small packet size, the sheer volume of ICMP echo requests cranked out by PingPlotter can't be doing a network any favors, right?
That's a great question, and definitely a valid concern. So much so, we wanted to actually prove whether or not you really could use PingPlotter to do some damage.
Grab your safety goggles — it's science time!
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
So, how do we go about testing PingPlotter's threat level?
Let's take a step back. In general, we're concerned with two issues. First, we want to know if PingPlotter can ping a host so much it triggers DoS/DDoS protections and starts hard-rejecting ICMP packets or kills the server flat-out (a concern many have). Second, we want to understand how factors like PingPlotter's bandwidth usage impact network performance.
That can only mean one thing — it's time to find an endpoint and ping the crap out of it.
...huh?
Before we begin, it can help to understand how PingPlotter actually tests a network. Luckily, we have a great article covering just that. It should give you a good frame of reference for what we're about to do.
The idea is simple. Using ten instances of PingPlotter installed across ten devices, we can trace the full route to a fixed endpoint like normal. However, instead of conducting one trace, we'd do 2,500 — 250 concurrent traces per device. Otherwise, it's business as usual. We'd send out default ICMP ping packets to every hop in our route every 2.5 seconds and let the traces run for one hour, giving everything a decent chance to fail.
There are a few reasons to use this setup.
First, it allows us to correct for specific variables related to hardware. PingPlotter can trace far more than 250 routes concurrently, but we want to be absolutely sure hardware isn't going to impact the frequency of pings.
Second, it allows us to work out any route hiccups in the first few hops. Our internal network results should be consistent between every device, so any outlying results can be confidently excluded.
When thinking about what trace target makes an enticing guinea pig, there's only one right answer — pingplotter.com. We're always confident in PingPlotter's safety, and now it's time to prove it by putting our own website on the line. Also, just in case we've somehow been wrong this whole time, it's better to break ourselves than someone else.
However, we want to know more than just whether or not you can break a thing using PingPlotter. We also want to better understand how our software impacts everyone down the line. That's why we also decided to reach out to both our ISP and our hosting service to get their take on our experiment.
Our ISP really didn't have any issues with what we were planning. There was some concern about bandwidth saturation for us (it wouldn't matter to them), but the idea of the experiment didn't raise any serious discussion.
It was the same with our web host. The idea of sending so many packets to their server with such sustained frequency didn't even faze them. The only advice they gave was to start out "slow": start with 1,000 traces, then ramp it up once we were confident in the stability. Otherwise, they were game to have us go nuts.
While the advice of our host to start slow is well-intentioned, it flies in the face of everything we're hoping to do.
So we're gonna ignore it.
Yep. 2,500 traces fired straight at pingplotter.com's dome all at once. Let's go!
Start your packet engines!
After hitting Start, PingPlotter began firing out packets as normal, and then...nothing. Packets flew, PingPlotter chugged along, and no one seemed to be the wiser. No phone calls, no emails, no busted website.
When we take a look at our network performance results over the hour we spent bombarding our host, it's clear that, even with our quantity of traces, the impact was negligible.
Let's start with the basics: latency and packet loss. Taking the averages among all of our traces, we see little to be alarmed about. The average latency high of 53.7 ms and low of 53.3 ms shows not only did we experience great latency throughout, but our connection was consistent. While our packet loss was higher than we'd normally like to see (and there's a good explanation below), we're still hovering between an average high of 3.4% and low of .85%.
In short: Our ridiculous pinging had no adverse effect on our connection quality.
What about bandwidth usage? Once again, things are looking good. Over one hour of pinging, we managed to send 2.68 GB of ICMP data, which equates to approx. 5.93 Mbps. That might sound like a lot but remember: At no point was our network strained to the point of compromising performance. Had we seen symptoms like bandwidth saturation in our latency results, we could have made an argument that maybe we were pinging too much.
But we didn't. And remember, this network was still in normal use while we were tracing. Whatever we were doing, our ping bombardment had no effect.
Speaking of which, our service providers weren't impacted either. When we reached back out to both our ISP and our web host, neither flagged nor were notified of anything out of the ordinary. If we hadn't contacted them, they wouldn't have ever been the wiser.
The results of our pinging might be boring, but they represent the best possible outcome. Between our regular outgoing traffic and the PingPlotter traces, we were sending over 16,000 ICMP packets a second and nobody blinked.
If we want to break something, it's pretty clear PingPlotter's the wrong tool for the job.
"But what about…"
We can deduce a lot with our experiment, but it does still leave a question or two up in the air.
First, the packet loss. As we mentioned, we saw a packet loss percentage slightly higher than we would have liked for a 'good' quality connection (what's a good connection look like? Glad you asked!). While not egregious, the packet loss still raises a question about what went wrong.
The answer? Nothing! What we're most likely seeing is actually the routing hardware and software at work. Remember, PingPlotter technically estimates packet loss based on how many of its ICMP echo requests go unanswered. Modern network hardware will down-prioritize ICMP packets if it receives too many to handle (to prevent DoS/DDoS shenanigans). The most likely scenario is not that the connection itself was becoming unstable, but that the echo requests were periodically being ignored.
Second, the trace count. "2,500 isn't that much," you say, and that's a fair argument. There are companies out there managing connections for tens of thousands of remote employees. How do things work out when you get to that scale or beyond?
Let's keep it simple. If we were to scale our original experiment up by a factor of ten, we can extrapolate from the results that we'd be looking at about 59.3 Mbps of ICMP packets alone for our 25,000 targets — that's starting to get up there.
However, there's something to remember about our original experiment: We were testing the full route to every target. While it can be useful to have this data constantly coming in, it isn't practical to conduct long-term monitoring that way. Luckily, we have another option.
If you were using traditional traceroute or MTR tools, pinging at that scale would maybe get concerning, even if you never actually encountered issues. But PingPlotter can do something those tools can't: dynamically toggle full-route testing. PingPlotter's Final Hop Only feature collects data on just an endpoint while conditions are normal, then switches to full-route testing when something goes wrong.
This means for the majority of our monitoring, we'd only be sending 25,000 packets during normal trace intervals, which breaks down to 10,000 packets a second. At 64 bytes per packet, our bandwidth usage would come to 5.12 Mbps. That's right. Using Final Hop Only on ten times the traces would generate less traffic than our experiment. And to think we were worried…
Ping with confidence
So, is pinging a server dangerous?
Absolutely not.
While there may have been a time when the risks of pinging were greater, that time has since passed. The modern network landscape is built to make the most of ICMP, and many of the prior issues have been resolved or rendered moot.
If you're concerned about breaking something, it's nearly impossible to do so unless it's your explicit intent. Modern routing hardware and software are built to handle anything you dish out, and if it wasn't, pinging a server would be the least of your worries.
If you're concerned about negatively impacting your network performance by pinging during active use, you don't have to sweat it, either. ICMP packets are tiny and efficient. You'd need to be hellbent on causing yourself a problem to ever notice a difference.
It's easy to freak out when you read a forum post filled with scary words and unfounded warnings. Instead, just trust the cold, hard data — if you're looking to ping, it ain't no thing.

Q: Redirect issue: folders and files not redirected properly I have recently set a new URL http://www.mytechnotes.biz for a blog I was maintaining on a subdomain http://technotes.tostaky.biz.
The redirection works in the following cases:
technotes.tostaky.biz -> www.mytechnotes.biz
www.technotes.tostaky.biz -> www.mytechnotes.biz

But it does not work in this case:
http://technotes.tostaky.biz/2012/11/introduction-to-css-concepts.html

Yet, the following page exists:
www.technotes.biz/2012/11/introduction-to-css-concepts.html

The content of my .htaccess file is:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^technotes\.tostaky\.biz$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.technotes\.tostaky\.biz$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.mytechnotes\.biz\/" [R=301,L]

I am not a sysadmin. I am relying on CPanel configuration of my host, but I can't resolve this issue. Anyone knows how to solve it? Thanks!

A: The pattern (thing that gets matched) in your RewriteRule, ^/?$, explicitly only matches the root URL of the domain.  I think what you want is to match anything, and include it in the redirected URL:
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mytechnotes.biz/$1 [R=301,L]


My app needs to show Google Maps directions from A to B, but I don't want to put the Google Maps into my application - instead, I want to launch it using an Intent. Is this possible? If yes, how?
To start the navigation from the current location, remove the saddr parameter and value.
You can use an actual street address instead of latitude and longitude. However this will give the user a dialog to choose between opening it via browser or Google Maps.
You can use Intents with the new API as well.
The problem using "geo:latitude,longitude" is that Google Maps only centers at your point, without any pin or label.
That's quite confusing, especially if you need to point to a precise place or/and ask for directions.
If you use the query parameter "geo:lat,lon?q=name" in order to label your geopoint, it uses the query for search and dismiss the lat/lon parameters.
Although the current answers are great, none of them did quite what I was looking for, I wanted to open the maps app only, add a name for each of the source location and destination, using the geo URI scheme wouldn't work for me at all and the maps web link didn't have labels so I came up with this solution, which is essentially an amalgamation of the other solutions and comments made here, hopefully it's helpful to others viewing this question.
For completeness, if the user doesn't have the maps app installed then it's going to be a good idea to catch the ActivityNotFoundException, then we can start the activity again without the maps app restriction, we can be pretty sure that we will never get to the Toast at the end since an internet browser is a valid application to launch this url scheme too.
Well you can try to open the built-in application Android Maps by using the Intent.setClassName method.
For multiple way points, following can be used as well.
First set of coordinates are your starting location. All of the next are way points, plotted route goes through.
Just keep adding way points by concating "/latitude,longitude" at the end. There is apparently a limit of 23 way points according to google docs. Not sure if that applies to Android too.
Directions are always given from the users current location.

Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how did it come to be? Even in an age of cloning and artificial biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we still missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal the hitherto missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics and the strange phenomena that lie at the heart of this most mysterious of sciences. As they brilliantly demonstrate here, life lives on the quantum edge.

The guy sitting at the table in the Tron's Victorian Bar is on his
mobile speaking to the wife. He's on a promise, he reckons, and is
about to hit the big time. She's telling him to go for it, but if he's
on to something, she wants a piece of the action too. So the guy goes
back up to the bar, which is when things get really weird for Macbeth.
Or that's the impression you get from Ian Macdonald's half-hour Gaelic
translation of Shakespeare's Scottish play commissioned by Glasgow
Life/Glasch Beo. At the moment, Liz Carruthers'  work-in-progress
production (although not advertised as such)  is a one-man affair, with
Daibhidh Walker playing Macbeth as a leather-jacketed bar-room big man
who suddenly finds he's a contender enough to take on all-comers.
While some of the original text's subtleties may be lost to non-Gaelic
speakers, it's not hard to get the broader gist of things as Walker's
straight out of Shameless Macbeth downs another drink. Was that Banquo
sitting at his regular table, or was it just a trick of the light as
key lines from the play are beamed onto the wall in English? As his
former pals turn against him, Macbeth checks the new Facebook page
Malcolm's invited all his friends to join, deleting as he goes.
There's a sense of intimacy at play here which is crucial to a
re-telling of the story that taps into a spit and sawdust contemporary
reinvention of the oral tradition. Whatever happens next in the
project's development beyond last week's two performances, it's
important that this sensibility is retained in a version that makes
Shakespeare look less foreign than ever.

The Dutch Real Tennis Association (Nederlandse Real Tennis Bond) was founded in 1986 to return the sport of real tennis to the Netherlands.  The association's goals include building a real tennis court and functioning as the national governing body.  Since 1987 the association has organized a Dutch Real Tennis Championship tournament at various clubs in the United Kingdom.

The Real Tennis Club Huis ter Kleef (formerly "Real Tennis Club Wassenaar"), founded on November 20, 2001, is a private club of enthusiasts who are currently attempting to restore and operate the Kaatsbaan (real tennis court) at the castle Huis ter Kleef.  The court was built around 1560 by Hendrik van Brederode, and tennis was played there likely until the early 17th century.  In February 2006, the City of Haarlem agreed to the proposal to restore court at Huis ter Kleef, if the club can raise the necessary funds (approximately €1,000,000).  The club has formally registered around 75 members.

The iShares Transportation Average ETF gets back on the road
03 Sep 2020, 01:00 GMT
As markets collapsed in March, coronavirus fears raised the spectre of global economic and social mayhem and battered the transportation industry.
As one would imagine, this was a less than comfortable ride for the iShares Transportation Average ETF, which seeks to track the investment results of the Dow Jones Transportation Average Index, composed of US equities in the transportation sector.
On 23 March, the iShares Transportation Average ETF [IYT] slid 35.6% a low of $119. Since then, however, the IYT has picked up the pace. It raced up 68.6% to 1 September. For the year, IYT has gained 3.5%.
The ETF has 20 holdings and net assets of $872.7m. It reports cumulative returns for the year to 31 July of -8.68%. However, for the last three months, this climbed to 18.5%. With economies around the world hopefully staging recoveries the transportation industry, and IYT could accelerate.
IYT Chart by TradingView
Checking the manifest
The IYT first launched on 6 October 2003 and in recent months has been riding a wave of investor interest in cyclical stocks and has been a major beneficiary of transportation's a post-crash bounce-back.
The ETF's largest holding is delivery company FedEx [FDX] with a weighting of 12.12%. Next on the list, with a weighting of 11.57%, is rail freight group Norfolk Southern Corporation, while its rivals Union Pacific Corp and Kansas City Southern are weighted 10.53% and 9.91% respectively. United Parcel Service takes up the fifth of the top five positions with a weighting of 8.74%.
Rail groups racked up substantial gains in 2020, despite struggling volumes during the pandemic. Norfolk Southern Corporation's share price rose 83% from a March low of $117.64 to close at $215.30 on 1 September, even as it recorded a 26% drop in total volumes in its second quarter. Union Pacific saw its shares 73.5 since a low in mid-March to 1 September, despite seeing a 20% contraction in volumes during Q2.
FedEx's share price, meanwhile 150% from a low of $90 in mid-March to close out 1 September at $225.46.
FedEx's share price rise since its March low
At the end of June, the company reported 49.8% fall in adjusted profit to $663m in its fourth quarter to the end of May after being hit by a drop in demand for commercial deliveries as global businesses closed. However, FedEx also reported that total domestic residential column increased to 72% from 56% a year previously.
UPS' share price is also looking strong this year, gaining 42% for the year to close at $162.65 on 1 September and gaining 91.9% since March lows. It reported a 22.8% rise in average US volumes in the second quarter to 21,2 million packages a day. It has seen a recovery in international volumes giving investors hope that global commerce is starting to pick up again.
Is it a new dawn for transportation?
Demand for e-commerce has meant that helped such package delivery services to hold up, Neena Mishra, director of ETF research at Zacks Investment Research told The Wall Street Journal. Furthermore, she suggested the reopening of many parts of the economy helped transportation companies.
Craig Johnson, chief market technician at Piper Sandler said that he saw "logistics companies that are making new highs and relative new highs in the market, this is to me a very bullish sign for the overall economy," he told CNBC's Trading Nation.
"Logistics companies that are making new highs and relative new highs in the market, this is to me a very bullish sign for the overall economy" - Craig Johnson, chief market technician at Piper Sandler
However, Mishra is not getting too carried away. She pe points to issues with freight volumes as well as pre-pandemic concerns such as ongoing trade tensions between China and the US as possible headwinds for IYT. Furthermore, Mishra suggested, IYT's holding in companies focussed on passenger travel will be affected by uncertainty in the sector.
A second wave of the coronavirus could also de-rail a transport revival, Boris Schlossberg, managing director of FX strategy at BK Asset Management, also told CNBC. He suggested that in the event of this happening consumers would retrench, in turn causing a "very, very big retracement in trucking".

Oakland's plan to award a 10-year contract valued at $1 billion to a local recycling company with no experience in the garbage industry is one of the riskiest ventures the city has ever undertaken.
The City Council blew through warnings from city staff, who said California Waste Solutions - an Oakland company that provides recycling services for about 75,000 Oakland homes and 170,000 San Jose homes - isn't equipped and may not be ready to collect garbage when its contract kicks in next summer.
City staff recommended awarding the recycling and garbage contract to the company that's provided these services in Oakland for decades, Waste Management, because it has a proven track record.
None of that seemed to matter last week as the council unanimously approved the deal with California Waste Solutions. A final vote on the contract is scheduled Tuesday night.
The deal ends the city's long association with Waste Management, which city officials said refused to lower a rate increase of more than $100 a year to homeowners. California Waste Solutions' bid will cost homeowners about $80 more per year than they now pay. Waste Management's decision to lock out union workers in a 2007 labor dispute soured relations with some city officials - and left trash uncollected in some parts of Oakland for more than two weeks.
The garbage deal represents Oakland's long desire to share the bounty of the city's lucrative service contracts with local businesses. There is, of course, the added bonus of sending a corporate giant packing.
"I like the fact that David beat Goliath, but in this case David did his homework," said Councilwoman Libby Schaaf, who was initially skeptical of the smaller firm's capabilities. "At the end of the day, I think it's good for Oakland, and the big guy can't bully us for any rate he wants to get from us. We're getting the best rate we could get this time around."
But now that the City Council's feel-good moment is over, the reality of the challenge ahead is sobering.
In less than a year, California Waste Solutions must build a transfer station in Oakland, quadruple the size of its 50-person Oakland workforce, nearly double the size of its 70-truck fleet and invest about $80 million into the business to prepare for its debut in July, said Joel Corona, the company's chief operating officer. Between now and then, the company will have to swap out nearly 300,000 trash bins or enter a deal to acquire them from the current contractor, he added.
"We've done this before in San Jose," Corona said. "It's a process that must be planned and well implemented and it takes some time, but that's what we're going to do."
If California Waste Solutions can deliver on all of its promises, Oakland will have a garbage collection system that's the envy of other cities.
"Now that the City Council has made its decision, I want it to be clear to the council and to the public that the staff's commitment is unqualified in making sure that this is as smooth a transition as possible, and we'll do everything we can to make sure that CWS is prepared to assume its responsibilities under this award," said interim City Administrator Henry Gardner.
The contract calls for the company to pick up trash, organic waste and recyclables. Garbage will be sorted before being sent to a landfill. Organics will be sorted. Foodstuffs will be processed at the nearby East Bay Municipal Utility District's processing plant - where gas emissions from organic materials are captured and converted to energy. Lawn trimmings, tree branches and the like will be transported to composting sites in Napa and Yolo counties, Corona said. Recyclables will be recirculated into the marketplace for reuse.
Should any of these efforts fall short, the company has agreements in place with Republic Services, the nation's second-largest garbage hauler, to use its transfer station in Richmond. The company will also use the Republic landfill in Livermore.
If California Waste Solutions cannot put everything in place before the deadline, the city may still ultimately have to rely on yet another national corporation to provide the services that a local company doesn't have the capability to do.
Tossing the dice for basic services like police, fire and garbage is very risky business, and if this plan craps out, it could get messy.
