It's because you are trying to send many emails at once. Hallmark of a spammer.
EE are looking into this and a fix should be out soon hopefully.
Is a general fix going to be issued or is it on a per user basis? I'm asking as I have also been trapped by this being forced to use the forwarding method as I want nothing to do with GMail and there does not appear to be any other advice with regards to moving my emails out in any other way if an import facility is not available.
Has any progress been made with regards to locked email accounts? Following the advice given I have been forwarding my emails out and have now been locked out for "Breaching my Terms and Conditions".
I'm in exactly the same boat. My account has been locked as well for following best advice provided namely forwarding my emails out. When can we expect this to get sorted?
@GuzizuG: Which mail provider are you moving them to? Most do have a mechanism for pulling in another email a/c into themselves.
I have passed your details over to the team who are dealing with unlocks.
@XRaySpeXI'm using Yahoo. I did look for any migration tool that I could use but if it's there then I can't find it. The point is moot as I'm still locked out of my account.
I understand your frustration, but I have sent your details off to the relevant team to investigate your locked issue.
Your email provider is not supported yet. We will email you when it becomes available.
Your account should now be unlocked.
Let me know if you are back in.
I can confirm that my account is now unlocked. Thank you for your efforts.
One last question has the account locking mechanism been disabled for sending out too many emails? If not can you let me know what my limit is so I don't get locked out again?
Thanks for popping back to let us know!
I'll need to double check this with the team - I'll pop back and let you know as soon as I have an answer.
HELP, I'm in the same boat; locked out trying to transfer lots of e-mails to a new account! Currently lacking access to loads of v.important e-mails and docs I need to action in next few days!!!!
HELP, I too am locked out whislt sending e-mails to a new account. It appears users are getting solutions, but on an individual basis. Can someone please help me access e-mails I need to work over next few days.
Further to my previous post. I have sent numerous e-mails to the number on the locked-out screen, but to no avail. I have also phoned the number in posts above, but am told they cannot do anything until the e-mail is answered, but time is critical for me.
Sorry to hear you're locked out of your account.
Could you please send me your full email address via Private Message.
I'll pass on to the team to arrange unlocking.

Sierra Leone Holidays, Events, Climate and Sightseeing
Sierra Leone: Holidays, national customs, climate
There are a number of public holidays that do not have a fixed date, but are based on the location of Easter. Easter takes place on the first Sunday that follows the first full moon after the beginning of spring. Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, which ends on Holy Saturday, is 46 days before Holy Saturday. The date for Pentecost is then 50 days after Easter. The Corpus Christi festival is celebrated on the 2nd Thursday after Pentecost. All Saints' Day is celebrated for Orthodox Christians on the 1st Sunday after Pentecost, but for Catholic Christians the date is fixed on November 1st. On October 31, Protestants celebrate Reformation Day. The Halloween festival also takes place on this day.
February March Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice)
April 27 National Independence Day
April 29 Revolution day
August 9 National holiday
November December Eid-al-Fitre (end of Ramadan)
December 25th and 26 Christmas
Source: Countryaah – Sierra Leone Holidays
The dates for the Islamic holidays are calculated according to the lunar calendar and therefore shift every year. During the fasting month of Ramadan, which precedes the festival day Eid-al-Fitre, Muslims do not eat during the day, but only after sunset. Many restaurants are therefore closed during the day. The festivals Eid al-Adha and Eid-al-Fitre last 2-10 days, depending on the region.
There are two different seasons in Sierra Leone, the rainy season and the dry season.
The rainy season
starts in May and lasts until the beginning of October. During this time there are often violent thunderstorms and storms. From August to September it sometimes rains continuously. Every year around 5,000mm of precipitation falls. The average temperatures are between 28-30 °C during the day and 22-23 ° C at night. The humidity varies between 81-89%.
The dry season
lasts from late October to April. The daytime temperatures are around 30-33 ° C. Sometimes they rise to 35 °C. At night they drop to 17-25 °C. The Harmattan, a dry, dusty wind from the Sahara, blows from December to April. Nevertheless, the humidity remains at 72-79%.
It is true that the police officers in Sierre Leone have a good will to help the people, but their training is very poor and the pay is even worse. Sometimes or actually it is always more advisable to contact your own embassy rather than the police. Corruption is very common. However, the police are also quite successful in combating corruption, so it is better not to get caught offering someone money or the like to turn a blind eye.
Religious harmony
The religious harmony in which people have lived together in Sierra Leone for a long time is noteworthy. Christians and Muslims live and pray side by side, as do members of the different tribes. In particular, tribal harmony is not a matter of course in Africa.
In 2010, the human rights organization Amnesty International submitted a report for Sierra Leone, which stated that serious sexual crimes against women are still common in the country. This also happens in the event of violent clashes between individual political groups and parties. In addition to gender-specific acts of violence such as rape, female genital mutilation is also practiced in Sierra Leone, a tradition that is as contemptuous as it is dangerous. So far it has not helped or helped that many traditional leaders have spoken out against genital mutilation.
Childhood in Sierra Leone
Almost every third child in Sierra Leone dies before their fifth birthday, and almost 2% of all women do not survive pregnancy or the birth of their child. The children, many of whom are (chronically) malnourished, often die of infectious diseases such as malaria, to which they are very susceptible due to malnutrition. Child labor remains very widespread in Sierra Leone. It is assumed that almost half of the 5 to 14 year olds have to do (sometimes heavy) physical work.
In Sierra Leone, homosexuality can be punished with a prison sentence of up to 10 years. In addition, homosexuals and lesbians are persecuted and humiliated in the country. FannyAnn Eddy, a human rights activist who spoke out against such practices, was brutally raped and murdered in her office in September 2004.
Schooling and literacy
So far there is no compulsory schooling in Sierra Leone, even if it is aimed for. So far, due to the lack of teachers and school buildings nationwide, it is still impossible to build a functioning, meaningful school system. It is estimated that 64% of Sierra Leone's people are illiterate.
Sierra Leone: Sightseeing
Abbreviationfinder.org: Presents the way that SL stands for the nation of Sierra Leone as a two-letter acronym.
Bo, the second largest city in Sierra Leone after Freetown with around 200,000 residents, acts as the capital of the Southern Province and the Bo District. The city has a campus of the Njala University College (see below), where technical subjects in particular are taught. The city is also home to Christ the King College, one of the most prominent colleges in the country.
The main and largest city of the Republic of Sierra Leone with 820,000 residents was called Romarong, "City of Lamentations" before the arrival of the Europeans, and its dramatic name refers to the seafarers who died in the strong storms over the Atlantic. For their part, the Europeans called it Granville Town. Freetown is the seat of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and, with its large seaport, is the economic center of the country. The landscape that characterizes the north-western tip of the Freetown Peninsula consists of tropical rainforest, swamps, mangroves and covered hills.
With its fine sandy beaches, the city has probably the most beautiful beaches in Africa. Also to be emphasized are the many attractions of Freetown, which are not very well maintained or marketed, but are definitely to be visited. These include the De Ruyter stone and the 500 year old cotton tree.
Kenema
About 155,000 people currently live in the capital of the district of the same name and the Eastern Province, making Kenema the third largest city in Sierra Leone. Diamond fields have been developed in the greater Kenema area since 1931. They represent an important economic factor in the region.
Koidu-Sefadu (also New Sembehun)
Koidu-Sefadu, formerly also known as Kono, belongs to the Eastern Province, which extends in the east of the country on the border with Guinea and is determined in its center by the main mosque. Around 88,000 people now live in the twin cities, which almost degenerated into a ghost town at the time of the civil war. Like Kenema, Koidu-Sefadu also lives from the exploitation of the diamond mines.
Makeni
Makeni, the capital of the Northern Province and the Bombali District, served as a power base for the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) during the civil war. Today, an estimated 94,000 people live in Makeni, a city known for its mosque and large market.
Special buildings and structures
Cape Sierra Leone Lighthouse in Aberdeen (Freetown)
At the end of the peninsula on which Freewtown is located, the Aberdeen lighthouse rises near the Hotel Burmoi and offers breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean.
Foulah Town Mosque in Freetown
The Foulah Town Mosque in the Sierra Leonean capital Freetown is the main Islamic sacred building in the city. It was built in the 1830s.
King's Gate in Freetown
The King's Gate in Freetown impresses with an inscription which, in translation, promises freedom to every slave who passes through the gate. Indeed, it was the gate through which liberated Africans passed.
Colonial buildings in Hill Station in Freetown
Not only the Hill Station Club, the club for gentlemen dating back to colonial times, is reminiscent of the times of the former European gentlemen. Everywhere in Hill Station one encounters architecturally fine witnesses of the old days. The buildings, which are unfortunately mostly in a very bad condition, offer an excellent inside impression of how people lived in the past.
Supreme Court in Freetown
The Supreme Court, the highest judicial body in Sierra Leone, is housed in an architecturally wonderful building in Freetown.
St. George's Cathedral in Freetown
The historically significant Anglican St. George's Cathedral was once one of the largest in the city.
St. John's Maroon Church in Freetown
The historic St. John's Maroon Church, built in 1820 in the Sierra Leonean capital Freetown, was designed in the colonial style and in 1956 was declared a national shrine.
Njala University in Freetown
Sierra Leone's second university was known as Njala University College until 2009. It was founded in 1964 and belonged to the University of Sierra Leone between 1972 and 2005. Since 2009 Njala University has been an independent and full-fledged university, which in addition to Freetown also maintains campuses in Bo and Njala.
University of Sierra Leone in Freetown
The University of Sierra Leone, the oldest university in Black Africa, rises on the hill of Mount Aureol in Freetown. It was founded in 1827 as an Anglican missionary school. At that time it was still called Fourah Bay College. The soon-to-be-known, very renowned educational institution expressed Freetown's reputation as the Athens of Africa. Today, Fourah Bay College is just one of many facilities and institutions at the university. After suffering numerous destruction during the civil war, it is now back on a very good level.
Big Market in Freetown
The Big Market of the capital Freetown spreads out on Wallace Johnson Street. It is a collector's item and showroom for local artists and craftsmen who offer their work and works of art here.
Bunce Island
The small Brunce Island, about 30 kilometers from Freetown, is famous for the slave fortress, which was built in 1670 by an English slave trading company and was still one of the largest British slave fortresses in West Africa in the 18th century. Bunce Island has been a protected historical site in the country since 1948 and is dominated by numerous construction ruins. You can see the remains of the fortress.
Cotton Tree in Freetown The
undisputed landmark of Freetown is the Cotton Tree, a kapok tree (lat. Ceiba pentandra), which has been growing in its current location since at least 1792 and towers majestically from the cityscape. It once served as a place of pilgrimage for believing Sierra Leoneans. Today it is depicted on the 10,000 Leonen banknote and is seen as a symbol of peace and wealth.
Freetown Ports
There are two ports in Freetown. One is Queen Elizabeth II Quay, which is incorrectly referred to as the third largest natural harbor on earth, which is also called QE II Quay or Deep Water Quay. It is to be used (again) by large cruise ships from 2012. There is also Government Wharf, also known as Freetown Port or simply The Harbor, in the Sierra Leonean capital. Although it is smaller than the QE II Quay, it is also more centrally located.
National Museum of Sierra Leone
The National Museum of the Sierra Leone capital exhibits interesting historical works of art and finds that document the culture of the West African country.
National Rail Museum in Freetown
The National Rail Museum in Cline Town (Freetwoen) exhibits numerous steam and diesel locomotives, including the largest and heaviest narrow-gauge locomotive in the world. In the unfortunately little-visited museum there is also the wagon, which was specially made for Queen Elizabeth II, who paid a state visit to Sierra Leone in 1961. A guide will bring guests closer to the most important exhibits.
Admission to the museum is free, but donations are always welcome. The National Rail Museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Stone slave stairs in Freetown
Below at Naval Wharf in Freetown there are the so-called slave stairs carved into the stone. They mark the place where Portuguese slave traders bought and sold countless Africans and from where these sold and slavery people were to set foot on African soil for the last time.
In addition to the nature reserves and game reserves presented in the next section, there are two national parks in Sierra Leone.
Outamba-Kilimi National Park
The Outamba-Kilimi National Park, which was founded in 1986 and covers 1,109 km², is located in the northwest of the country near the Guinea border. It is divided into the two parts Outamba with an area of 741 km² and Kilimi with an area of 368 km², which are a few kilometers apart. The Outamba area is the more attractive part for visitors.
The vegetation of the park is characterized by the wet savannah and beautiful green hills and many small rivers delight the visitors. But the wildlife of the Outamba-Kilimi National Park is also impressive. Many animals were killed in the civil war, but the populations have largely recovered. In addition to elephants, hippos, giraffes and leopards, you can also observe various species of monkeys here, for example the park is home to the largest chimpanzee population in West Africa. With over 200 different bird species, the park is also a bird lover's paradise.
However, there are no permanent accommodations in the park, only campsites with communal sanitary facilities. You also have to take care of your own food. However, a few kilometers outside the park you will find two guest houses with a little more comfort. You can only get there with an off-road vehicle via the villages of Makeni and Kamakwie.
Gola Forest National Park Established in 2011 as the Gola Forest National Park, it is still relatively unknown. The approximately 710 km² large park is located in the southeast of the country on the border with Liberia. Of particular note are its large primary forests, the largest in Sierra Leone. They provide an important refuge for numerous animal species, including 50 larger mammal species – including 11 different species of monkeys. These include chimpanzees, Diana cats, and sooty specimens from the vervet family.
Other mammals that are worth mentioning include: Brooke duiker, Jentink duiker, Maxwell duiker, forest elephant, black duiker, zebra duiker or pygmy hippopotamus. For bird lovers, it should be noted that there are over 275 species of birds, some of which are threatened with extinction. The park can be reached in a normal car via the provincial capital Kenema, which is about 40 km away. From there a sand road leads via Joru to Lalehun.
Nature reserves, natural beauties
Sakanbiarwa nature reserve near Freetown
Wonderful orchids are just one part of the colorful flower and blossom paradise that the Sakanbiarwa nature reserve offers its visitors. It is not for nothing that it is also one of the most popular tourist attractions of Sierra Leone.
Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary near Freetown
The largest chimpanzee population in the world lives in this internationally supported sanctuary. The aim of Tacugama is to reintroduce former chimpanzees that were kept as pets, because since 2007 the possession and trade of chimpanzees has been banned in Sierra Leone, so that every monkey has to be returned to the sanctuary. The sanctuary can be reached by leaving Freetown for a few kilometers and heading into the Western Area Forest Reserve to the village of Barthurst. For this route you hardly need more than 30 minutes by car. A visitor center provides visitors with information; In addition, the employees of the Tacugama reserve accompany you on tours. Since 2007 it has been possible to spend the night in the small Tacugama Guest Lodge, a hodgepodge of bungalows in typical nature.
Banana Islands
The wonderful Banana Islands, islands off the southern tip of the Freetown Peninsula, are made up of the two main islands of Dublin and Ricketts Island alongside a few smaller ones. These are connected to each other thanks to a dam. The Banana Islands are famous and popular for their wonderful, fine sandy beaches and excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities.
Mount Bintumani (also Bintimani and Loma Mansa)
The highest mountain in Sierra Leone at 1,945 meters belongs to the Loma Mountains and, with its rainforest growing on the slopes, is an important habitat for numerous animal species. These include pygmy hippos, primates, crocodiles and red-backed fish owls.
Freetown Beaches
The beaches of the Sierra Leonean capital Freetown are beautiful and in very good condition. The city's main beach is the fine sandy Lumley Beach, which is exactly connected to Freetown. It is littered with shops, restaurants, golf courses, hotels and clubs. Goderich Beach is also pretty, but for most people it is just one stop on their way to more beautiful beaches. Probably the best beaches are Lakka Beach with bars like Palm Beach (formerly Cotton Club) and the Hard Rock Cafe as well as No. 2 River Beach. The latter can only be reached with a very good car, because the road conditions there are more than bad. For this you will be rewarded by what is said to be the most beautiful beach in Africa. Its fine sand is bathed in turquoise blue water – a scene that takes place in front of a picturesque green hilly landscape.

Welcome to Big Society Capital's Impact Report. Everything we do as the UK's wholesale social investor is to improve people's lives and achieve social impact. This report looks back at the impact which we and our partners have achieved since our inception, the successes and the challenges, and what we have learned for the future.
Big Society Capital was set up five years ago to help charities and social enterprises access the kind of repayable finance they need to become more sustainable and to grow their social impact.
Social investment has come a long way over those five years. We've seen a big growth in the number of investments made, and more confidence in making investment deals. We've seen a far wider range of investment models develop and many more funders to choose from. We can also now see a realistic path to sustainability for social investment.
It's tough. Developing social investment takes time and effort – just like any major new approach. Balancing affordability for charities and social enterprises, with the risk and returns that co-investors need, means achieving progress is challenging. Social investment is not for everybody, but it is a crucial tool for many and can achieve substantial impact.
Innovation is even tougher. Venture funds, those that support early-stage innovative organisations with high-growth potential, face the greatest challenge because of the high risks and often longer paths. More blended finance and venture philanthropy is needed to make this a success in the UK: it's a vital route to new ideas, new energy, and addressing new challenges in society.
Public sector markets are tougher still. Business-to-public sector models frequently grow much more slowly than business-to-consumer models. New approaches are needed to get innovation into public services, and we are starting to see these develop.
Social risk is very real. If a charity or social enterprises takes on investment and fails, the risk isn't just financial. It could mean that vulnerable people suddenly lose the support they need. This has to be factored into decision making: for charities and social enterprises when taking on investment; for intermediaries when they make investments; and deciding when to intervene if an organisation faces difficulty. There have been some very courageous and capable leaders demonstrate how to avert harm to beneficiaries in difficult times.
Leadership is critical. It takes strong and resilient leadership to take a social venture to its full potential to help disadvantaged people. It's that quality of leadership, that combination of enterprise savvy, inspiring others, and including the people it's for, that makes it all work.
Impact management is challenging but essential. Improving people's lives is the goal. However difficult it is to get useful impact information, it is a must have. We have put forward seven principles for good impact practice, drawn from the experience of our work to date.
It's a growing and powerful movement. Social investment is growing and achieving more. It is a global movement of people who want to their money, their talent and expertise, into its highest purpose: improving people's lives.
Through what we have achieved, what we have learned, and from what you have told us, we can now identify the areas where social investment can have its greatest social impact. These are the areas where we will focus the next rounds of our investments into intermediaries, adding to the wide range of investment funds already available and continuing.
The UK property market is failing lots of people, with rising levels of homelessness and people living in unsuitable accommodation. We will use social investment to help provide a home for people most in need.
Some areas of the UK have been left behind, and even in better off areas there are pockets of disadvantage. We will use social investment to help communities in the most under-served places to rebuild and to improve lives.
Huge amounts of money are spent dealing with tough social issues which could have been prevented. We will use social investment to improve people's lives by tackling problems at an early stage.
It all starts with the social issues. Social investment is a tool which organisations dedicated to solving those issues can use to boost their work and help people improve their lives. This report shows how it can work, how much more we still have to do, and what are the next steps.
If you have any thoughts about our approach, or about our Impact Report, we would like to hear from you.

Thumbs down for Bush's troop buildup in Iraq
WASHINGTON, Saturday (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives denounced President George W. Bush's Iraq troop buildup on Friday in a symbolic challenge to his unpopular war strategy that is expected to lead to a mighty struggle over financing the extra troops.
The Democratic-led House voted 246-182 for a resolution that voices support for U.S. forces but opposes the Republican president's decision to send 21,500 more troops to bolster security in Baghdad and violent Anbar province.
In Baghdad, U.S. and Iraqi forces sweeping through the city encountered little resistance to their offensive. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, under heavy U.S. pressure to show progress, told Bush the effort had been a "brilliant success" so far, while Bush said U.S. patience was not unlimited.
The House measure would not force Bush to act, but its supporters hope to pressure him to reverse course and start bringing U.S. forces home from the conflict, which has killed more than 3,100 American troops.
"Our troops have done a magnificent job (but) they cannot afford to continue to be policemen in a civil war," said Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican who co-sponsored the measure with Democrats.
As their next step, Democrats are considering ways to restrict Bush's use of $93.4 billion in new war funds to keep him from using it for the troop buildup. Several Republicans condemned that as a "slow bleed" of the war effort.
"What we are saying today to the president is that 'we need a new direction,'" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, said after the vote.
The Senate, which usually acts first in major foreign policy matters, has been deadlocked on procedural issues surrounding the Iraq debate. Senate Democrats will try to break the impasse again on Saturday with a vote on whether to consider the House Iraq resolution.
The House vote put it on record for the first time rejecting Bush's conduct of the nearly four-year war, which Congress authorized in October 2002. The vote followed three days of debate, with hundreds of lawmakers speaking.
The resolution passed with support of all but two of the House's 233 Democrats and 17 of its 201 Republicans, many worried about their political fate should they stick with Bush. Polls say most Americans oppose adding troops in Iraq.
Republican Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri said his party's defections were fewer than the 40 to 60 some expected, and said Democrats now faced divisions in the debate over whether to restrict war funds. "The future of this debate is much more unifying for us and much more dividing for them," he said.

Q: python numpy filter ndarray based on an element value I have a numpy ndarray as below. I want to filter rows, cols where the fourth coordinate is not 1.
i.e, where ndarary[0][0][-1] != 1
>>> print(ndarray)
array([[[0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        ...,
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1]],

       [[0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        ...,
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1]],

       [[0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        ...,
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1]],

       ...,

       [[0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        ...,
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1]],

       [[0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        ...,
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1]],

       [[0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        ...,
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1],
        [0, 0, 0, 1]]], dtype=uint8)

Code I tried and which worked:
row_cols = []

for ir, row in enumerate(ndarray):
  for ic, col in enumerate(row):
    if col[-1] != 1:
      row_cols.append((ir,ic))

But this is O(N^2) solution and highly time consuming, since the ndarray is of shape (800,1280*4) and I have to perform this on several thousands of arrays.
Is there a better way to filter?

A: The numpy slicing op an np.where function will help you:
np.random.seed(2020)
array = np.random.randint(0, 3, 36).reshape([4, 3, 3])

130th Annual Meeting (January 7-10, 2016)
Christianity, the City, and the Public Sphere, 1918–2000
Saturday, January 9, 2016: 2:30 PM
Grand Hall D (Hyatt Regency Atlanta)
Elayne Oliphant, New York University
This essay explores the significance of Christian architecture and symbols in the creation of urban public spheres in the capital cities of France, England, Italy, and the Netherlands. Sociologists of religion, such as David Martin, have described the 19th and 20thcenturies as periods in which Christianity was 'de-territorialized' in Europe. Numerous historians have described the 'transfer' of the sacred from sites of religious practice and devotion to the rituals and monuments of the state. Using the concept of the 'visual economy,' this essay works to rethink this unidirectional, teleological narrative so key to secularization theses of modernity. Instead, I look to how the distribution of the sacred and profane is shared between Christian spaces and those of the state, between monumental sites and more 'vernacular' spaces in London, Paris, Rome, and Amsterdam. Many worry that the multiple and remarkable Christian sites in these spaces are nothing more than spaces of 'heritage,' temples emptied of their enchanted significance in the present. By paying heed to how such spaces contribute to the creation of modern publics through the privileged and flexible space given to Christianity in the present, I will explore how Christian architecture and symbols continue as living and active sources of the sacred, both religious and secular.

Q: Pgfplot figure off-center because of axis label My figures are always off-center because the right axis is trimmed closer to the figure than the left. Do I have to manually extend the right axis by an adhoc amount every time?

A: What I came up with is to simply add a node with the size of the bounding box, with an inner xsep, while using the axis as a bounding box and overlay for ylabel and yticklabel:
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usetikzlibrary{fit}

\begin{tikzpicture}

    \begin{axis}[
        use as bounding box,
        ylabel style={overlay},
        yticklabel style={overlay},
        % ...
    ]
        % ...
    \end{axis}

    \node[
        draw=none,
        fit=(current bounding box.north west)
            (current bounding box.south east),
        inner xsep=5em % adjust as needed
    ] at (current bounding box.center) {};

\end{tikzpicture}

With the example of this question, this is the result:

This did also work when including it as a standalone in another TeX file.

A: If you use \begin{tikzpicture}[trim axis left, trim axis right], the axis will be centered correctly.

David Frum's 'Trumpocracy'
By T.E. Lyons
A major book concerning the Trump presidency is just coming out (and its very respected author is coming to town for the Kentucky Authors Forum). But in the scant weeks since the last significant book revolving around recent executive branch matters ("Fire and Fury"), there have been yet more noisy mini-crises — potentially making any book on the subject seem obsolete before the printer's ink is dry.
Don't bet against the potential impact, though, when the author of "Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic" is David Frum. Across nine books and many articles in The Atlantic, he's bolstered a reputation that made its first big leaps on the shoulders of the neocon movement. (He was a speechwriter for George W. Bush.) In Frum's new book — as might be expected in his conversation Wednesday — he hones in on a seeming dissolution of many American political institutions, rather than on one individual's rise to precedent-shattering prominence. LEO recently had the chance to ask Frum about how he connects Trump administration controversies to history, as well as reasons he sees some optimism for even those who hold the record of this administration's first year in great disdain.
LEO: President Trump is accused of using the word 'shithole' in a racist manner.
David Frum: The White House says the reason that they called [U.S. Sen.] Dick Durbin all those names is that he said 'shithole,' and they meant 'shithouse,' and that made Dick Durbin a liar. Here's the part of the story that is important: For I-don't-know-how-many-days, Donald Trump's behavior — first, speaking crudely and then second, lying about it — put Republican senators in an impossible position, where they had to lie for the president of their party. The key point to my book is I want to move the spotlight from Donald Trump personally. What Donald Trump is, I think everyone can see and everybody knows. The whole American system of government — not just the Constitution, but the party system, the primaries — is built to keep people like this away from political power.
What in your book do you expect to be the biggest surprise to readers? Is it that you see 'gifts' unintentionally provided by Trump's administration for both Democrats and Republicans?
I spent a lot of time thinking of these reasons for optimism. I try to avoid making big predictions — because predictions ask you to think like a spectator. I'm hoping people will think like participants; they'll take responsibility. There are some possibilities for some really good things to come from the Trump era. One thing that's very heartening to us in the media is people discovering again the power and importance of truth.
You talk about how 'norms and rules' were casually let slip for a period of years. Can we expect that soon there'll be pent-up desire to return to such norms from a sufficient number of Americans?
What I am trying my best to do is to help Americans see why those rules are so important. This is not just a story about Donald Trump. The book opens by detailing an accelerating crisis in the American political system. I really date the start of it to the end of the Cold War. As long as there was the Cold War, there was always this touchstone for leaders: that they had to put the country's security first, against an incredibly dangerous, nuclear-armed superpower. When the Cold War ended, I believe a lot of politicians began looking for that enemy at home — and they began playing the political game a lot more ruthlessly. With each presidency, the game got more ruthless.
You're looking forward to a pendulum swing? You say how democracy has gotten out of favor in the past — I think that may be news to a lot of people.
A lot of us keep in our minds a story of the United States: When the country was founded, it wasn't a democracy, but then democratic rights expanded and expanded, to all white men, under Jackson. Lincoln freed the slaves. Slaves got civil rights and voting rights. Women were included and there's just steady improvement. But in fact, it's a story of crises. I tell the story of what happened in South Carolina: In 1872, the state's got 700,000 people, 100,000 of them vote. Fifty years later, the state's got 1.7 million people — and 50,000 of them vote. It's not just in this country. There are periods where democracy either breaks down altogether, or goes into reverse. •

Q: Switched to xcode 6 GM - suddenly controller does not conform to UITableViewDataSource anymore Today I updated to the newly released xCode 6 GM. When I try to build my app now I get a compiler error saying one of my View Controllers which handles a Table "does not conform to protocol UITableViewDataSource". Everything worked fine before (working with xCode 6 Beta 5)
According to the documentation the protocol requires 2 methods:
– tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:  required method
– tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:  required method
Both of them are implemented:
 func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return feed!.count
 }

 func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {
        println("HashtagDetailViewController: tableView - cellForRowAtIndexPath called")

        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("postCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as PostTableCell
        cell.loadItem(feed!.toArray()[indexPath.row])
        return cell
 }

Did I miss something? Is there a new required method that is not in the docs? Thanks for any help

A: Many Swift signatures have changed in use of optionals in the latest beta. So your existing implementation becomes an overloaded local method, rather than be the implementation of the protocol method. If it is a required method in the protocol, you will get these messages as the compiler assumes you have not implemented the required methods.
Here it is a minor annoyance, but it is far more dangerous if you have implementations for optional methods in such protocols that have changed their signature. You will not get any compiler warnings and the methods you thought implemented the protocol methods will never get called.
You have to check each of any such existing implementations manually to ensure, that above does not happen to your code.
The simplest way to do this is to place your cursor in each of such method headers as you would normally do get quick help in the side window for the method. if it is correctly typed as a protocol method, you will see the description of the method in Quick help with the framework it is defined in at the end. If it has become a local method because of signature discrepancy, you will not see any description in Quick Help window but a listing of related methods and more telling the line which says it is defined in that local file.
I don't know of any way to prevent checking every such existing optional implementation in your code manually after framwork changes like this.
The protocol has changed slightly:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell!

is now:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell

A: In addition to the previous answer, which is correct, I would add one more thing - you can use the following syntax:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView?, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath?) -> UITableViewCell {

in order to perform some useful 'if statements' like this:
    if let theIndexPath = indexPath {
        var data: NSManagedObject = someList[indexPath!.row] as NSManagedObject;
        // your code here
    }

or
    if let tblView = tableView {
        tblView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath!], withRowAnimation: .Fade);
        // your code here
    }

Q: Querying a specific child in a recursive DOM structure I have a DOM structure like this:

In this example, I have a class .thing that has a .title and .content. The contents of .content may be another .thing. The issue I'm having is that given an arbitrary .thing, I want to be able to query its .content and .title without querying anything inside of .content.
One way to do this would be to query the child directly, e.g.
const thing = ... // get some .thing
const title = thing.querySelector(':scope > .title')

The issue with this is that I want to be able to insert an arbitrary number of elements in between .thing and .title. One idea I had was to use the :not pseudo-class:
const title = thing.querySelector('.title:not(.content *)').

The theory behind this is that I want a title that isn't a child of content. This works for the top-level title, but doesn't work for nested things. What's the best way to query for this?

A: give a data-attribute to the content you specifically want to grab.
Example:

const div = document.querySelector("[data-getter='title']");
console.log(div);
[data-getter="title"] {
  background-color: orange;
}

Prescribed fire shows promise as a tool for the control of laurel and rhododendron in the Southern Appalachian mountains. A recent prescribed fire killed the tops of 70 percent of ail laurel under 0.5 inch d.b.h. and 70 percent of the rhododendron under 1 inch d.b.h. Seventeen months after the bum, almost all of the top-killed laurel and rhododendron have resprouted; but many of the white pine planted after the burn will also survive.

Clin Infect Dis. 1992 Jul;15(1):99-105.
Trends in antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Bellvitge Hospital, Barcelona, Spain (1979-1990).
Liñares J1, Pallares R, Alonso T, Perez JL, Ayats J, Gudiol F, Viladrich PF, Martin R.
Department of Microbiology, Hospital de Bellvitge, Universidad de Barcelona, Spain.
From January 1979 to December 1990 we studied the susceptibility of 1,492 pneumococcal strains isolated from adult patients in Bellvitge Hospital, Barcelona, Spain, to nine antimicrobial agents. Among clinically significant pneumococci, the incidence of penicillin-resistant strains increased from 4.3% in 1979 to 40% in 1990, and that of erythromycin-resistant strains also rose from 0% in 1979 to 9.4% in 1990. On the other hand, the incidence of strains resistant to tetracycline decreased from 76.1% to 37.6%, as did that of chloramphenicol-resistant strains, from 56.5% to 29.4%. The incidence of co-trimoxazole-resistant strains was about 40% throughout the study. Even more alarming was the finding that about 70% of penicillin-resistant strains showed multiple resistance to non-beta-lactam antibiotics. All pneumococci were susceptible to vancomycin, and all but six were susceptible to rifampin. We observed that isolates from cerebrospinal fluid and the respiratory tract were significantly more resistant to penicillin than were isolates from blood. The majority of strains (95%) belonged to serogroups or serotypes included in the 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine and 77.6% of penicillin-resistant strains belonged to groups 23, 6, 9, and 19.

Abel Prescott
Abel Prescott (April 7, 1718 – October 22, 1805) was a physician in Concord, Massachusetts and the father of two American patriots who sounded the alarm on April 19, 1775.
He was the father of Samuel and Abel Prescott who both joined Paul Revere and William Dawes on their ride to warn the militia that the British were on the move. Samuel Prescott was the only one to actually make it to Concord. Abel rode south to warn the towns of Sudbury and Framingham.
The rapid warning of Revere, Dawes, and Samuel and Abel Prescott alerted the Minutemen of this region in time for them to engage the British Army at the Battle of Lexington and Concord.
He was a great-great-great grandfather of Samuel P. Bush.

Card Buildings
These model buildings have one main disadvantage, and that is that they are very light and are therefore easily moved accidentally. I recommend glueing a weight inside the base to help prevent this; I've found that a small slab of wood works well, though just about anything will do.
This is a half-timbered medieval to renaissance era European corner house suitable for 6mm to 10mm gaming. The photos are taken against a 1cm grid, which should give you an idea of the size.
You can get the PDF file here (2.79 MB). The layout provides four models which, once built, can be arranged around a central courtyard to create a complete block.
This is a 1/300 scale garage or engine house, designed for micro-scale wargaming. It's about an inch long. 300ppi JPEG file, approx. 500KB. NOTE: I ran out of card for my printer, so the mock-up shown here is just made out of paper which is why the walls and roof are so woogly and crappy.
Seedy two to three storey town house. This is modelled on medieval European half-timbered houses, in which the upper storeys overhang the street quite substantially in an attempt to maximise interior living space in what were usually very cramped surroundings. I've weathered the plasterwork of the wattle-and-daub walls quite extensively; this would be a rather damp and unpleasant house to live in, I suspect.
You can see a larger and more informative version of the thumbnail here (115KB jpeg, opens in a new window).
This building is larger in scale than those below. The reason for this is because gaming figurines have been getting steadily larger over the years, the standard now being closer to 35mm than 25mm, so they tend to look too large next to my older models which were designed for use with 25mm figures.

These peasant dwellings, known as a "Grubenhaus" (German, "dugout dwelling") were little more than thatched pup-tents. The floor was dug down a couple of feet below ground level to allow for some head-room, hence the name. They were common peasant dwellings all over Europe right up until the early 20th century.
