Automobile News, Autos, Business, Economy - June 1, 2020
Trends transforming the automotive industry.
The automobile market is undergoing a profound transition in terms of its far-reaching effect on business and its customers. This estimates the structural transformation of the automobile sector in terms of timescale, complexity, and quantity. One of the industries that has been under extreme stress over the past two years is heading for another turbulent year of falling revenue, growing costs, and ever-present government regulations. Driving is going to be convenient, simpler, cheaper, and safer. At the very same point, the revolution in personal transportation will push the automobile industry to redefine itself to some degree.
Electrified:
The move to emission-free transition will become a universal necessity. Electric power used to power cars will gradually come from renewable power to maintain carbon dioxide-free mobility. The shift to emission free human autonomy will not be feasible without the electrification of the running rail. Firstly, there is the problem of local materials. The reality is that vehicles are still producing very small amounts of toxic contaminants, noise, and air pollution. It also suggests that the emission-free effort will be a regional one. The energy used to power cars should come from green sources to guarantee CO2-neutral mobility. After all, the vehicles of tomorrow will not only be a subject of mutual and autonomous proportions but will also be wired and electrified. Owing to the accelerated growth of electric cars, it can be concluded that the overwhelming majority of automobiles will be e-vehicle.
Autonomous:
The development of cars that do not need human interaction will reduce the usage of shared transportation systems and give personal transportation to different consumer groups. The exponential advances made in fields such as machine learning and artificial intelligence make it easier to accomplish that appeared impossible – i.e. the creation of automated cars, which do not need human interaction except in complicated traffic scenarios. This will redefine the usage of human mobility channels. It is probably attribute to the reality that the electrified and autonomous aspects are equally compatible. The proportion of shared and automated vehicles in the total road network will improve dramatically.
Car sharing:
Properly operated fleets of autonomous cars can lower the cost of transport dramatically by allowing more effective usage of costly mobile infrastructure. Over several years, many metropolitan areas have provided car-sharing services. Although, these are still mostly conducted as pilot projects or citizens' programs. Exchanging ideas may become commercially feasible with the advent of automated vehicles. It will no longer be appropriate to look for a shared car in the local area. It will be possible to request vehicles anywhere the customer might be via a flexible on-demand platform. Although, station-based ride-sharing indicates that cars will only be obtained from predefined locations. The region of distribution for car-sharing represents the supplier's market field. Ride-hailing is about taking a ride. This definition is increasing in prominence and will no longer be considered a fringe trend.
Demand for smaller cars:
Possible pay reductions, work shortages, declining wages, and no incentives will all cause Indian customers to be suspicious of investing mega-money on new cars. After the lock down is removed, the market for smaller cars like Tiago, Santro, Celerio, and WagonR, etc. will rise. Citizens will usually be suspicious of commuting through public transit if and when they are accessible to the public because of worries of being infected. They will like to drive in their automobiles and will opt to purchase a 2-wheeler or smaller vehicle without needing to pay so much on luxury SUVs, hatchbacks, or sedans. Maruti Suzuki will be the major winner of all of this and will undoubtedly improve its market share by new product releases and price cuts to target the middle-class community.
Used cars:
Used vehicles will be the kind of the post-COVID-19 world. A survey revealed that the inquiries for pre-own vehicles multiplied during the lock down time frame. Purchaser viewpoint appeared to be more rounded among the individuals who enquired about used vehicles. 77% of them were happy to proceed with their buy after the lock down. It was noticed that an impressive level of respondents liked to purchase old vehicles because of budget restrictions. The used car would profit most as people switching from a public vehicle to a private vehicle. With India's auto industry is facing depression for more than a year and the Covid-19 shutdown now expected to deepen and the financial pressure of the mid-income class, used cars might end up being a go-to option.
Online portal:
The auto sector registered a major decrease in sales due to COVID-19 and BSVI. In the past few months, several automotive makers have switched to the online platform to improve demand. Hyundai, Honda, BMW, Maruti Suzuki, and others consider that this is an opportunity to reach out to potential customers as additional support to dealers. Automobile manufacturers are offering schemes to help customers easily buy their vehicle in the middle of the lock down. Auto OEMs try to concentrate further on the digital world to boost demand. Most dealerships and retailers will focus on expanding their digital presence, providing pick-up and delivery of cars for service and sale, and giving consumers a smooth shopping interface to achieve loyalty.

Automobile News, Autos, Business - May 30, 2020
Automakers come up with unique schemes to push sales.
Leading passenger car makers are partnering with NBFC's and banks to give consumers competitive financing solutions and improve market sales. In the several early months, a potential customer will choose to pay considerably low installments and afterwards increase the percentage payable at a pre-specified rate.
Maruti Suzuki:
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd has collaborated with bankers such as ICICI Bank Ltd to include EMI of a maximum of Rs 899 for the first 3 months of its loan value of Rs 1 lakh. Another scheme lets borrowers pay EMI as small as Rs 1797 per lakh over the term of service, including the last payment where the borrower charges one-fourth of the loan value. The Delhi-based auto manufacturer has also partnered with banks to finance 100 percent of the automobile on-road. The firm has recently collaborated with Cholamandalam, to provide plans in which consumers will not have to pay EMI during the first 2 months. Maruti Suzuki has allied with HDFC Bank's aim of providing financing options to vehicle buyers. Advantages will include low monthly payments over three months each year, up to 100% on-road financing, etc. This will benefit consumers in the entry-level categories in general. Together under tie-up, consumers can make use of a step-up EMI plus balloon plan with a monthly installment of Rs 1,111 per lakh for a loan period of 84 months.
Car leasing:
Maruti Suzuki is currently proposing leasing automobiles to its customers via dealer networks. This change will add optimism to Maruti Suzuki distributors at a time when the company has been under continuous stress owing to decreasing domestic revenues and the financial crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. This scenario can be suitable for the release of such services by Maruti, as city buyers are likely to favor the vehicle leasing system, rate drop, cost-effectiveness, and less burden on leased automobiles. Innovation presents an interesting alternative for the recovery of demand of purchase of cars in city centres.
Hyundai:
In the meantime, Hyundai Motor India Ltd is now offering its automobiles on lease. The car manufacturer considers this scheme to increase demand. The Hyundai Assurance Program will be provided on selected Hyundai car variants bought during May 2020. It will also protect the buyer for a term of 1 year since the date of delivery of the vehicle. They introduced a special and industry-leading EMI Assurance Program. It will offer young buyers of Hyundai employed in private companies complete peace of mind through this period and build optimistic and secure feelings for the purchase of Hyundai vehicles.
M&M:
M&M, the manufacturer of Scorpio and Bolero SUV, has now launched car loan plans under which consumers are subject to a 90-day suspension or may pay in 2021. In a 8-year loan period, a 90-day payment moratorium including 100 percent on-road financing, to enable buyers conveniently acquire their cars will be provided in the middle of the lock down. According to the company, the policies provide a 50 percent rebate from the payment charge and the opportunity to "buy now, pay later" for the doctor's segment, a strong reimbursement program for security officers. While, woman consumers will be entitled to a 10-point reduction on the cost of borrowing. The car manufacturer now gives consumers the option of buying a BSVI-compliant pick-up and charging the same EMI as the BS-IV model while, the SUV buyer will now buy the model now and begin paying the monthly installment from 2021. Also, the firm is selling BS-VI vehicles on the same monthly installation as the previous BS-IV platform. In this program, the EMI for funded vehicles begins with as small as Rs 1,234 per lakh.
Volkswagen:
Volkswagen India has announced a leasing and lending service. In a bid to improve demand and render its vehicles available to customers, the German automaker has unveiled different ownership options, including rental and buy-back options. According to the company, new ownership models have been introduced, predicting that consumers are progressively looking at personal travel through mass transit and car-sharing. Such new initiatives can be used across every dealer network. Whereas, the rental period can vary from 2 to 4 years. Clients can also make use of zero down payment together with premiums, servicing and some other costs provided by the scheme. The lease program also offers buyers the ability to switch to certain Volkswagen vehicles. Although, Tiguan and Vento can be purchased under the promised buy-back program, the business has indicated that more versions will be put within this scheme.
Nissan:
Nissan has also launched Buy Now-Pay Later from January 2021 on selected models.
Tata Motors:
Under its latest Keys of Safety financing system, Tata Motors revealed a personalized EMI program for its Tiago model starting at Rs 5,000 per month for 6 months. As per the update, the EMI sum is slowly raised over a cumulative duration of 5 years. Consumers can select between three choices before waiting for their final EMI. Also providing 100% on-road financing for the full line of automobiles and SUVs.
Skoda:
Skoda Auto India and Toyota Kirloskar Motor claim to give pre-qualified buyers a zero own payment plan. Even though Toyota has extended the offer to pick customers depending on their credit scores, Skoda is now extending the EMI vacation to four months to six months.
Honda Cars India give cash discounts of up to Rs 1 lakh on specific variants.

Q: Check if value exist in the array of objects and if it there update it I am trying to check if the product with that id exist and if it is update quantity
Pushing all of the created struct obj to and array of objects
contract TheStore is Ownable {

    struct Store {
        uint id;
        uint quantity;
    }

    mapping(address => Store[]) public productsId;
    Store[] public store;

    function addProduct(uint id,  uint quantity) public {
        if(id == store.id){
     product[id].quantity +=  quantity
    }
        store.push(Store({id: id ; quantity: quantity}));
    }

    function AllProducts() public view returns (Store[] memory)
    {
        return store;
    }

}```

A: With your currently defined variables, you can loop through all the existing store items until you've found the corresponding item, and then update it. If there's no corresponding item, you can create a new one:
function addProduct(uint id,  uint quantity) public {
    // loop through all `store` items until the item with the corresponding ID is found
    for (uint i; i < store.length; i++) {
        if (store[i].id == id) {
            // corresponding item found - update quantity and early return
            store[i].quantity += quantity;
            return;
        }
    }

    // no corresponding item found (the early return didn't invoke) - add the product to the store
    store.push(Store(id, quantity));
}

However, the code above is very inefficient and expensive to run gas-wise. So I'd recommend to add a mapping of existing product IDs to the store array indexes. Then you can simply query the mapping and get the resulting info whether the product ID exists (the value of the mapping is non-zero) or not:
mapping (uint => uint) productIdToArrayIndex;

function addProduct(uint id,  uint quantity) public {
    uint arrayIndex = productIdToArrayIndex[id];
    if (arrayIndex > 0) {
        // the product is stored in the `store[arrayIndex]`
        store[arrayIndex].quantity += quantity;
    }

    // no corresponding item found - add the product to the store, and add their index to the mapping
    store.push(Store(id, quantity));
    productIdToArrayIndex[id] = store.length - 1;
}

I caught this on Kotaku, watched, and was quick to discourage the entire thing by the use of just one word: "Exclusivity."
See it? First word on the third line. Come on, random YouTube guy. Learn how to proof-read!
Also, why would Bungie have to remind us that Halo: Reach is exclusive to the 360? Do they really need to remind us of this fact? Do we think that Halo has defected to the PS3?
Sorry, but I'm not buying it. 1-starred on YouTube.

Q: Remove \r\n\r\n from the results in a textbox I have the following code:
txtcmdApp.Text = RunScript(@"if (Get-Process greenshot -ErrorAction silentlycontinue –ComputerName  " + txtWSName.Text + " ) {'Open'} else {'Not Opened'}");

The results shown in the textbox is Not Opened but, when I use a breakpoint it is showing the following in code:
txtcmdapp|{Text = "Not Opened\r\n\r\n"}

I would like to remove the \r\n\r\n because I have an If Statement that changes the font color to red in a textbox if the results equals Not Opened and it is not working I believe because of the \r\n\r\n showing up.
Any ideas?
Regards,

A: Maybe simply remove the newlines?
txtcmdApp.Text = RunScript(@"if (Get-Process greenshot -ErrorAction silentlycontinue –ComputerName  " + txtWSName.Text + " ) {'Open'} else {'Not Opened'}")
.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "");

This will replace all new lines (that is cr+lf (\r\n) on Windows) on the string to a empty string.

A: You could use Trim() on the text:
string result = RunScript(@"if (Get-Process greenshot -ErrorAction silentlycontinue –ComputerName  " + txtWSName.Text + " ) {'Open'} else {'Not Opened'}");
txtcmdApp.Text = result.Trim();

This will remove any whitespace and newlines from the beginning and end of the string.

WIRE Buzz: Harley Quinn renewed; Hasbro PulseCon schedule; and Smashing Pumpkins animated series
Credit: DC Universe
Great f***ing news, Gothamites! Harley Quinn has officially been renewed for a third season, and since DC Universe has gone through a major rebranding, the animated series is exclusively moving over to HBO Max. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, showrunners Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern admitted that they've had a good, long time to gestate on ideas for the next season.
"We're just super excited to finally actually be able to put that into action and actually get the ideas ping-ponging off both the returning writers and the inevitable new writers that we're getting to hire now. I am very excited to finally get those ideas out and about in the ether," Schumacker said.
The R-rated show follows Harley (Kaley Cuoco) as she breaks up with the Joker (Alan Tudyk) and strikes out on her own. Wanting to carve out her own villainous niche in the pantheon of Gotham City rogues, Harley moves in with Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) and begins a romantic relationship with the mistress of all things botanical. During the interview with EW, Halpern promised that fans will get to see more of Harley and Ivy's relationship in the upcoming season.
"This is the first time they're both going to be in a relationship where they really and truly have affection towards one another," he said. "They have a lot of responsibility. So I think like, 'what is it like to be in a good relationship after you've only ever been in bad relationships with abusive people?' is a big theme we want to play with."
Harley Quinn's supporting voice cast is full of recognizable acting talent like Sanaa Lathan ("Catwoman"), Tony Hale ("Doctor Psycho"), Giancarlo Esposito ("Lex Luthor"), Diedrich Bader ("Batman"), Tom Hollander ("Alfred Pennyworth"), Christopher Meloni ("James Gordon"), Rahul Kohli ("Scarecrow"), and Rachel Dratch (Nora Fries).

Is it the '90s again?
Variety has confirmed that Smashing Pumpkins plans to release a new double album (titled "Cyr") Friday, Nov. 27. But 20 additional songs isn't the only thing the Chicago-based band (fronted by Billy Corgan) has cooking. The group also produced a five-part animated series called Ashes. Episodes 1 and 2 are scheduled to drop next Friday, Sept. 25. Written by Corgan (credited as William Patrick Corgan), all five installments will feature music from the new album.
Check out the sexy teaser trailer below:
Corgan previously described "Cyr" as "a dystopic folly ... One soul against the world sort of stuff, set against a backdrop of shifting loyalties and sped-up time. To me it stands as both hopeful and dismissive of what is and isn't possible with faith."

NASA invites you to 'Picture Earth' for Earth Day
Time lapse: Watch glaciers rise, fall in thousands of years per second
A meeting of minds: scientists, planners face challenge of rising seas
NASA's Sea Level Change Team during the March meeting in Annapolis, Maryland. Credit: Steve Nerem.
By Pat Brennan,
NASA's Sea Level Change Portal
The question: How can NASA sea-level science be placed in the hands of decision-makers? Some of the answers began to take shape recently on the sunlit shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
Fifty members of NASA's Sea Level Change team met in March with city planners, Naval officials and others at the Phillip Merrill Environmental Center in Annapolis, Maryland – 29 in all, considered "stakeholders" in planning for sea-level rise in the mid-Atlantic region.
The location wasn't chosen just for scenic charm. Annapolis is among the U.S. coastal cities that are already feeling the powerful effects of rising seas. Its colonial-flavored City Dock, a magnet for tourists, experiences significantly more nuisance flooding than it did in the past.
"We know that 50 years ago, the historic district flooded 10 days a year," Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley told the group on the opening day of the conference. "Now it's more than 40. Flooding is higher, and it takes longer to recede."
Such stories have become familiar to city planners up and down the East Coast and in places like Florida and Louisiana. In Annapolis, statistics on sea level rise are often paired with other grim numbers: a drop in tourism revenue because of flooded streets, parking lots and walkways.
The three-day workshop began with accounts of the real-world effects of sea level rise, such as tidal flooding in Annapolis as seawater rises up through street drainage systems in the coastal zone. Planners described improvement projects designed to fix the problem, and that will cost millions.
But members of the sea level science team were seeking answers to other questions as well: How is NASA science being used for coastal planning, and who is using it? How can NASA best provide useful information as these planning efforts continue?
"We're looking at ways to integrate NASA knowledge tools into the decision-making process," said Nadya Vinogradova, program scientist at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C. and a member of the sea level team.
That includes scientific missions, many using satellite data, making increasingly accurate and precise measurements of sea level change around the world.
The stakeholders' reaction to the science team was "overwhelmingly positive," said Ben Hamlington, a sea level researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and the leader of the sea level science team.
The stakeholders felt they were "heard," he said, and good connections were made.
Still, he said, many scientists sensed a lack of broad-based awareness of scientific issues among some who attended. He thought a good next step would be to provide attendees with more information about active scientific research, as well as a contact list of scientists.
The rest of the conference included updates on just these kinds of research projects, from nailing down the sea level "budget" – how various contributing factors add up to the globally averaged rise in sea levels – to significant advances in our understanding of how land surfaces and ice sheets interact. Science team members also made major progress in studies of vertical land motion – the slow rise of land after the melting of glaciers from the last ice age, or the subsidence of coastal land areas because of groundwater pumping and other factors. Accurately measuring these changes is important for regional sea-level-rise projections.
The science team turned next to an assessment of the NASA Sea Level Portal, a web site geared in part toward data sharing and interaction among team members. Some aspects of the portal were seen as effective and useful, including articles on research and improvement of the portal's "Understanding Sea Level" section. But Hamlington saw a need for broader engagement among team members with the portal itself.
Last, the group considered the future direction of the Sea Level Change team. They proposed possible "team products" as major goals, including a set of sea level projections. These would be developed over the long-term, possibly taken on by the next sea level science team. It would be the third such team to be constituted since the creation of the first team in 2014.
Another group project could include a web-based tool, made available on the portal, for estimating changes driven by vertical land motion. The team also discussed producing fact sheets, or a kind of "report card," on sea level changes for cities and other specific coastal locations.
Hamlington and others, meanwhile, continue their work on a team paper reviewing the state of sea level science, with a strong focus on observations that will lead to a more refined understanding of regional sea level rise along the coasts.
The mutual effort is likely to foster more interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as an integrated approach to sea level research, he said.

A Filarmônica 25 de Março é uma sociedade brasileira musical fundada em 1868, na cidade de Feira de Santana, no estado da Bahia. É considerada a sociedade musical mais antiga do estado da Bahia em atividade. Participa de eventos sociais, religiosas e políticas de Feira de Santana e cidades vizinhas.

História
A Filarmônica 25 de Março foi fundada em 25 de março de 1868, na cidade de Feira de Santana, com sua primeira sede na Rua Cons. Franco, nº 33, com o intuito de contribuir no desenvolvimento cultural da cidade. E em seu estatuto menciona os auspícios de Nossa Senhora da Anunciação. A Filarmônica realizava bailes e eventos na sede para seus sócios, passeios de trem, apresentações em praças públicas, participava de festividades religiosas e promovia os propósitos políticos da associação.

No final da década de 70, a Filarmônica entrou em decadência, por causa da grande concorrência com as músicas populares e pela inatividade da Escola de Música. O número de membros sofreu redução, até chegar a sete membros.

Em 2014, a Filarmônica 25 de Março entrou em processo de recuperação com a abertura da Escola de Música Maestro Estevam Moura. No ano de 2015, com novos instrumentos e novos membros na equipe, a Filarmônica passou a se apresentar em procissões religiosas e em eventos públicos e particulares. Nessa nova etapa da Filarmônica, passaram a aceitar mulheres em seu quadro de músicos e atualizaram seu regimento interno, que antes proibia a entrada de membros femininos.

Atualmente é regida pelo maestro Antônio Neves, mestre em Educação Musical pela Universidade Federal da Bahia e está sediada na Rua Conselheiro Franco, nº 279.

Primeiro Centenário da Filarmônica
Em 1968, ano do centenário da organização, entre os dias dia 13 de julho a 17 de julho, a Filarmônica fez diversas apresentações na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, até então Capital Federal. Se apresentaram na TV Tupi, na Rádio Nacional, nas escadarias do Teatro Municipal e no corpo de Bombeiros. Foram recebidos, no Palácio das Laranjeiras, pelo Presidente da República Artur da Costa e Silva e a primeira dama Yolanda da Costa e Silva.

Primeiro Campeonato Nacional de Bandas
Em 1977, a Filarmônica com 40 componentes e regida pelo maestro Claudemiro Daltro Barreto. participou do Primeiro Campeonato Nacional de Bandas, organizado pelo Ministério de Educação e Cultura (MEC), Instituto Nacional de Música da FUNARTE e Rede Globo, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A filarmônica ficou em terceiro lugar no campeonato, com nota 8,5.

O prêmio foi um troféu e a participação no LP da Som Livre "1º Campeonato Nacional de Bandas: Gravação ao Vivo no Teatro Globo". A entrega do prêmio foi na cidade de Brasília, com a presença do Presidente Ernesto Geisel.

Prêmio Culturas Populares
Em 2017, a Filarmônica 25 de Março ganhou o prêmio Leandro Gomes de Barros na categoria de mestres, na Premiação Cultura Popular promovido, em âmbito nacional, pela Secretaria da Cidadania e da Diversidade Cultural do Ministério da Cultura.

Escola de Música Maestro Estevam Moura

Inaugurada em 7 de agosto de 2014, com o intuito formar jovens músicos para compor o corpo musical da Sociedade Filarmônica 25 de Março e promover o ensino a música. A compra dos instrumentos para a escola se deu através de doações da comunidade.

There is something going on within the front-end community recently. Server-side rendering is getting more and more traction thanks to React and its built-in server-side hydration feature. But it's not the only solution to deliver a fast experience to the user with a super fast time-to-first-byte (TTFB) score: Pre-rendering is also a pretty good strategy. What's the difference between these solutions and a fully client-rendered application?
Under a good and reliable internet connection, it's pretty fast and works well. But it can be a lot better, and it doesn't have to be difficult to make it that way. That's what we will see in the following sections.
An SSR solution is something we used to do a lot, many years ago, but tend to forget in favor of a client-side rendering solution.
With old server-side rendering solutions, you built a web page—with PHP for example—the server compiled everything, included the data, and delivered a fully populated HTML page to the client. It was fast and effective.
But… every time you navigated to another route, the server had to do the work all over again: Get the PHP file, compile it, and deliver the HTML, with all the CSS and JS delaying the page load to a few hundred ms or even whole seconds.
What if you could do the first page load with the SSR solution, and then use a framework to do dynamic routing with AJAX, fetching only the necessary data?
This is why SSR is getting more and more traction within the community because React popularized this problem with an easy-to-use solution: The RenderToStringmethod.
This new kind of web application is called a universal app or an isomorphic app. There's still some controversy over the exact meanings of these terms and the relationship between them, but many people use them interchangeably.
Anyway, the advantage of this solution is being able to develop an app server-side and client-side with the same code and deliver a really fast experience to the user with custom data. The disadvantage is that you need to run a server.
SSR is used to fetch data and pre-populate a page with custom content, leveraging the server's reliable internet connection. That is, the server's own internet connection is better than that of a user with lie-fi), so it's able to prefetch and amalgamate data before delivering it to the user.
With the pre-populated data, using an SSR app can also fix an issue that client-rendered apps have with social sharing and the OpenGraph system. For example, if you have only one index.html file to deliver to the client, they will only have one type of metadata—most likely your homepage metadata. This won't be contextualized when you want to share a different route, so none of your routes will be shown on other sites with their proper user content (description and preview picture) that users would want to share with the world.
The mandatory server for a universal app can be a deterrent for some and may be overkill for a small application. This is why pre-rendering can be a really nice alternative.
I discovered this solution with Preact and its own CLI that allows you to compile all pre-selected routes so you can store a fully populated HTML file to a static server. This lets you deliver a super-fast experience to the user, thanks to the Preact/React hydration function, without the need for Node.js.
There is another catch: In order for this technique to work, you still need to have a proxy or something to redirect the user to the right file.
With a single-page application, you need to redirect all requests to the root file, and then the framework redirects the user with its built-in routing system. So the first page load is always the same root file.
In order for a pre-rendering solution to work, you need to tell your proxy that some routes need specific files and not always the root index.html file.
For example, say you have four routes (/, /about, /jobs, and blog) and all of them have different layouts. You need four different HTML files to deliver the skeleton to the user that will then let React/Preact/etc. rehydrate it with data. So if you redirect all those routes to the root index.html file, the page will have an unpleasant, glitchy feel during loading, whereby the user will see the skeleton of the wrong page until it finishes loading and replaces the layout. For example, the user might see a homepage skeleton with only one column, when they had asked for a different page with a Pinterest-like gallery.
This is why this solution can be useful for small applications—you can see how painful it would be if you had a few hundred pages.
Strictly speaking, it's not mandatory to do it this way—you could just use a static file directly. For example, https://my-website.com/about/ will work without any redirection because it will automatically search for an index.html inside its directory. But you need this proxy if you have param urls—https://my-website.com/profile/guillaume will need to redirect the request to /profile/index.html with its own layout, because profile/guillaume/index.html doesn't exist and will trigger a 404 error.
In short, there are three basic views at play with the rendering strategies described above: A loading screen, a skeleton, and the full page once it's finally rendered.
Client-rendered applications are something we should avoid now because we can do better for the user. And doing better, in this case, is as easy as the pre-rendering solution. It's definitely an improvement over client-only rendering and easier to implement than a fully server-side-rendered application.
An SSR/universal application can be really powerful if you have a large application with a lot of different pages. It allows your content to be focused and relevant when talking to a social crawler. This is also true for search engine robots, which now take your site's performance into account when ranking it.
Stay tuned for a follow-up tutorial, where I will walk through the transformation of an SPA into pre-rendered and SSR versions, and compare their performance.

Q: How to filter s3 new object created events by file name using python/Boto3? I have a bucket called:

*

*bucket_1

On bucket_1 i have s3 events set up for all new objects created within that bucket. What i would like to do is set up a rule so that if the file that is dropped is prefixed with "data". Then it triggers a lambda function that will process the data within the file.
What i'm struggling with is how to filter for a particular file. So far the code i have within python is this:
def handler(event, context):
    s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
    message = json.loads(event['Records'][0]['Sns']['Message'])
    print("JSON: " + json.dumps(message))

    return message

This lambda is triggered when an event is added to my sns topic, but i just want to filter specifically for an object creation with a prefix of "data".
Has anyone done something similar to this before? for clarity this is the workflow of the job that i would like to happen:
1. file added to bucket_1
2. notification sent to sns topic [TRIGGERS below python code]
3. python filters for object created notification and file with prefix of "data*" [Triggers] python below]
4. python fetched data from s3 location cleans it up and places it into table.

So specifically i am looking on how exactly to set up step 3.

A: After looking around i've found that this isn't actually done in python but rather when configuring events on the s3 bucket itself.
You go to this area:
s3 > choose your bucket > properties > event notifications > create notification
Once you are there you just select all create objects events and you can even specify the prefix and suffix of a file name. Then you will only receive notifications through to that topic for what you've specified.
Hopefully this helps someone at some point!

Our Refugee Committee has welcomed three families from Syria and we are in the process of sponsoring another family who have fled their homeland because of war, famine or hatred.
The committee raises funds for rent, food, clothing, education as well as setting up a comfortable home-like dwelling for the refugees.
Once the refugee persons have arrived in Canada, the Refugee Committee members, called the Settlement Committee, meet the refugees at the airport, transport them to their new dwelling, locate an interpreter if needed, help the refugees apply for health coverage, social insurance number, open a bank account, select a family physician and dentist, arrange for adult language training and school for the children.
Several Refugee Committee members help with driving the refugees to appointments, shopping and some recreation and adjustment to Canadian ways. Helping Refugees can be a challenge and it is also a very rewarding experience to see peace and safety enter their lives.
The spirit of gratitude, generosity and a desire to earn a living and be productive members of Canadian society is heart-warming. We are blessed to have a Refugee Committee with members from the Catholic Churches in Chatham working and praying together for others.
If you would like to make a financial donation to help with our next family, you can place a donation in the collection (with your name and address on it) or drop it off at either office. All donations will be included in your yearly tax receipt. Please make cheques payable to St. Agnes Parish.
If you wish to become a member of the Refugee Committee or would like more information, please contact Sr. Eleanor Gleeson at 519-354-5845 or email eleanor@kent.net.


Madison: It's still hard for Christine Larson to talk about the death of her daughter Tia. Tia was a diabetic and was at a treatment facility when her blood sugar spiked. Unfortunately, she wasn't given insulin until the next morning. Larson says it was a clear case of negligence. "It was just simple care, simple diabetic care that she needed and they did not give that to her. I don't have any recourse. My only outlet is lawsuit."
Larson was one of many people at a press conference Tuesday to express concerns over Governor Walker's tort reform package, which would make it more difficult to sue businesses in the state.
A number of citizen groups say the changes would force them to show a worker intended to harm their relative -negligence would not be enough.
"This bill makes it much harder to get punitive damages when there has been abuse and neglect in nursing homes," says Robert Kraig, Executive Director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin.
"To allow a bill like this to go through, wiping out that accountability - it's ludicrous. It just doesn't make sense," says Richard Witt, who lost a loved one to a fall in a treatment facility.
"(I) certainly have great empathy for people who are in positions like that, but I think in large part, many of the folks the opposition I've heard has been misdirected," says Governor Scott Walker.
Walker says tort reform is needed to improve the business climate in the state. He says people are being given poor information by the trial attorneys. "There's certainly a lot of subjective information from many of the trial attorneys involved. They make a lot of money off the cases like this."


Colette, the pen name of French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, produced more than fifty books in her long career, and was often the source of controversy. She flaunted her lesbian affairs and her reputation was severely tarnished by her collaboration with the Vichy regime. Many of her novels explore the tension between women's desire and struggle for independence and their simultaneous need for love and passion. Her most important works include The Pure and the Impure (1932), Cheri (1920), The Last of Cheri (1926), The Vagabond (1910), My Mother's House (1922), and Sido (1929).

Q: Data structure for partial multi-keys mapping? I have data consists of keys mapped to values, like this:
---------------------
Key          | Value
---------------------
(0, 0, 0, 0) | a
(0, 0, 0, 1) | b
(0, 1, 0, 1) | c
(0, 1, 1, 0) | d
....

I am looking for a data structure the can efficiently perform search queries over keys, where the queries could be complete or partial specification the key. For example:
(0, 0, 0, 1) -> a
(0, *, *, *) -> [a, b, c, d]
(0, 1, *, *) -> [c, d]

The idea that I've right now is to implement this using a regular tree, similar to this:

Leaves nodes represent the values and non-leaves nodes are parts of the key (i.e. w,x,y and z nodes are first, second, third and forth part of the key, respectively.). A simple BFS algorithm could be used to answer any query. But the problem is that this tree is growing exponentially with each new part of the key.
What data structure/algorithm is more appropriate to solve this problem? Note that the key parts can be numbers or strings.

A: An array. Yes really! You will have no space overhead, no "pointer chasing" overhead, and calculating the indices only takes a little bitmath, and processors are really rather good at that.
Assuming you get a partial key as a mask and bits where the mask has a 0 for the bits which are wildcards and 1 elsewhere, and the bits are 0 for the wildcards and whatever you want for the non-wildcards.
The algorithm to collect all items that have a key that matches that pattern is:
int key = bits;
do {
    yield items[key];
    key = (key | mask) + 1 & ~mask | bits;
} while (key != bits);

That key = (key | mask) + 1 & ~mask | bits part looks funny, here's how it works.
The | (bitwise OR) makes all the non-wildcards 1. That makes sure that the increment keeps carrying through the bits that are not wildcards. After that addition, the bits that were supposed to be "fixed" are destroyed (0 if a carry passed through them, 1 otherwise), so they have to be masked out (the & ~mask) and then set back to the right value (| bits). The precedence of the operators makes it so that it can largely be written without parentheses. You can also write it as
key = (((key | mask) + 1) & (~mask)) | bits;

This works for any sort of pattern. If you only need "last x bits are variable", you can optimize a bit to:
int wildcards = 0;
int invmask = ~mask;
do {
    yield items[wildcards++ | bits];
} while (wildcards & invmask);

That just runs from 0 to 2number-of-wildcards and then puts in the fixed bits in the top.
Non-binary keys
In the simplest non-binary case, the parts of the key are still some integral number of bits, that is, they range from 0 to 2n-1. You can use exactly the same code in that case, but the interpretation of the mask is different: instead of having a single 0 bit for a wildcard or a single 1 bit for a non-wildcard, it would have some other number of bits (corresponding to the width in bits of a key-part).
For non-powers-of-two, it takes some more trickery. The problem is that a carry has to be generated sooner it normally would in order to satisfy the constrains that a key-part is less than some value.
For example, if all the key-parts can be 0, 1, or 2 (but not 3), you can do (not tested):
int key = bits;
int increment = (0x55555555 & ~mask) + 1;
do {
    yield items[key];
    int temp = (key | mask) + increment & ~mask;
    int fix = (temp | (temp >> 1)) & 0x55555555;
    key = temp - fix | bits;
} while (key != bits);

The extra increment is 1 plus a mask of the "difference of the nearest power of two with the maximum value of a key-part", which is in this case 1 for every key-part, so there's a 1 in every "slot" (the slots are 2 bits wide, which is the narrowest they can be in this case). It only has those "offsets" at positions that are wildcards.
Offsetting the key-parts so that their highest allowable value maps to "all ones" ensures that the carry propagates through them. However, it means that they are usually left in an invalid state (unless it receives a carry and goes to zero). So then comes the annoying part: the offset has to be undone only for key-parts that didn't wrap to zero.
So there fix comes in. It computes a mask of key-parts that aren't zero. That gets more annoying if the key-parts are wider, and it gets downright terrible if they key-parts aren't all the same size.
Then the last part, key = temp - fix | bits, undoes the offsetting and puts the non-wildcards back in. That subtract never destroys anything, because only 1 is subtracted only from groups of 2 bits that are together at least 1, so the carry never leaves a key-part.
This way of indexing does waste some space of course, unlike the power-of-two case, because there are "holes" in the array that you can never index into.

A: if there exist a maximum(M) value for each part of the keys, you can create a single  keyed tree by interpreting the keys as numbers written in base M (or in mixed base)

*

*i assume wildcards only appear at one index and all furter are wildcards, this way (x,*,*,*) will be a query for (x*M^3,(x+1)*M^3-1)
for strings:

*

*you can use a separating character and token paste the keys (using |:

('ax','bc','a','x') -> 'ax|bc|a|x'
the separator should not appear in the input strings(it may appear, but in that case it may interfere with accessing the asked results)
but...if your situation is difficult you can use objects as keys, in java i would create a class for the key, and define a compare oparator between them
for examples i would quote:
How to compare objects by multiple fields

A: Code each relation as a line of text then use a regular expression where '.' can match any single character at that position in the key.
This would remove any restriction on where the don't cares are.
Here's some Python:
>>> import re
>>>
>>> map = '''
... 0000 a
... 0001 b
... 0101 c
... 0110 d
... '''
>>>
>>> def search(query='0001'):
...     matches = re.findall(query + r' .', map)
...     return [match.split()[-1] for match in matches]
...
>>> search('0001')
['b']
>>> search('0...')
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
>>> search('01..')
['c', 'd']
>>>


Postpartum Rehab — Elemental Chiropractic, Inc.
What is postpartum rehab? Your body went through a lot of changes in both pregnancy and delivery (both vaginal or cesarean delivery) that can effect your muscles, connective tissue and movement. Rehab focuses on decreasing negative side effects of childbirth and caring for children - pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, diastasis rectus abdomens, low back pain, neck pain and headaches, and sciatica.
Your exam includes a musculoskeletal exam where I assess your body's structure, muscles, and tissue as well a diastasis recti examination. I will also assess mobilization of abdominal scar tissue (for cesarean or any previous surgeries such as an appendectomy).
Is this treatment instead of seeing a pelvic floor specialist?
No. Depending on the findings from your evaluation, a referral to a pelvic floor specialist may be warranted.
What does postpartum rehab look like?
Once again, it depends on your evaluation but a "typical" rehab program includes breath work, smart and functional movements, as well as strength and conditioning. The program will be catered to your goals.
Speaking of goals...what is the goal of postpartum rehab?
My goal in teaching postpartum rehab is for women to understand and heal their bodies in a safe manner. It's not about aesthetics...if you follow the nutrition and fitness advice given, the body will change in a desired way but that is accomplished through movements that will help you safely navigate life as a mom.

Acura will reveal the completely new second-generation Acura TLX sport sedan digitally on May 28. Delivering dramatic gains in style and performance, the new TLX will be the quickest, best-handling and most well-appointed sport sedan in Acura history, with the Type S being the model's performance pinnacle. The new TLX will make its public debut in a short film viewable at acura.com/2021-TLX on Thursday, May 28 at 10:00 a.m. PDT.
The exterior of the new TLX carries forward the dramatic proportions and design language first introduced on the Acura Precision Concept, in 2016, and later evolved in the Acura Type S Concept, which debuted at Monterey Car Week in August 2019. A teaser image released today, showcases the new TLX's wide rear silhouette and imposing stance with muscular curves, large diameter quad exhaust outlets and rear diffuser strakes.
The 2021 TLX is the latest step in Acura's steadfast commitment to bring Precision Crafted Performance to life, as manifested in the second-generation NSX supercar, the third generation RDX, the addition of PMC Edition models produced at the NSX factory, the return of Type S performance variants and a new dedicated 3.0-liter V6 Turbo engine set to debut with the TLX Type S.

Has anyone else noticed this but I tamed a lvl 32 Mistvale Gorilla 2 days ago and his loyalty level was still Rebellious (lvl 1) until just a few mins ago. It took me 2 days of constant feeding and fighting to raise his loyalty one lvl. It seems REALLY slow.
I have a gorilla, got it at lvl 32 and it's amazing... Awesome tank, and the thunderstomp works wonders... Never seen one lower than lvl 32 either... Best pet I've had so far!
Can this be tamed? Maybe in the discription some place you can add a Tame or No Tame..? please..
Yea the lowest you can get them at is 32, not 28. Unless 28-31s are located elsewhere, which I highly doubt.
I was looking forward to getting one at 28 :(, they're pretty sweet looking - like no other pet. Plus they're good at tanking. High HP, plus they have high damage.
Yes, it can be tamed. I've seen players with them in Ironforge.
Anyone know of a quest for killing these?
Iv got the gorilla becouse i`m level 32 now i tamed a Mistvale Gorilla and he called Kong but the lowest gorilla the jungle thundler is level 36 or 37?

Miomir Žužul (born 19 June 1955) is a Croatian diplomat and politician. He is currently a senior international policy advisor at the firm of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP in Washington, DC.

Education
Žužul obtained a doctorate in psychology at the University of Zagreb in 1987 as well as a doctorate in conflict management at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. In 1990 he became a full professor at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb.

Politics
Žužul started his political career as a member of Communist party of the Socialist Republic of Croatia. He left the party in 1987 and, with the fall of communism, entered the new dominant right wing party of Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). Žužul was previously the foreign minister of Croatia (2003–2005), Croatian Ambassador to the United States (1996–2000), Croatian deputy foreign minister (1992–1993) and Croatian ambassador to the United Nations (1993–1996). Žužul was involved in Washington Agreement (1994) and Dayton Agreement (1995) as a member of the Croatian negotiating team.

During his early diplomatic career, Žužul befriended many important people in American political and business circles.  He has often been perceived as one of the more pro-American politicians in Croatia. In early 2000s, he was one of the most trusted allies of Ivo Sanader in his struggle for the leadership of the HDZ.

He was named the new foreign minister in the Ivo Sanader government in December 2003.
In 2004 various Croatian media began to publish details of alleged corruption scandals involving Žužul. Although Žužul denied those charges, even some of Sanader's allies in Sabor expressed desire to have him removed. Sanader resisted this pressure and had Žužul keep his post. The Croatian Parliament cleared Žužul of the charges brought against him, and the majority of the media outlets that initially reported corruption allegations against Žužul have retracted their stories. Court cases against the rest are pending.

However, in January 2005, Žužul announced his resignation because he did not want to pose a burden for the government, and formally left his post in February. Sanader's candidate Jadranka Kosor during presidential elections commented that she expected the resignation to come.

On 17 August 2007, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Chairman-in-Office, Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos, appointed Žužul, "to be his personal representative in a mission to Georgia on (a) missile incident that took place on 6 August," alleged to be a Russian missile strike on Georgian territory.

Q: Can I automate a loop query based on category with the page's title? To explain further, I need to get a page to display posts from a specific category. I want to automate this process so I don't have to make a template for each category. How would I do that? (keep in mind the person I'm building this is for has no coding experience.)
The only way I could think off from the top of my head is to use the title or slug. So if the category is named the same thing as the slug, could I filter by category using the slug? Maybe this isn't the best way... what should I do?
This is what I came up with, but it doesn't work, I'm sure due to improper use on may part, but I've been pouring over the WP codex and Google with no avail to tell me my problem.
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
    'orderby' => 'date',
    'order' => 'ASC',
    'paged' => $paged,
    'category_name' => echo the_title('\'','\'',)
);
query_posts($args);
?>

A: This ended up working:
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$page_slug = $post->post_name;
$args= array(
    'orderby' => 'date',
    'order' => 'ASC',
    'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
query_posts( 'category_name=' . $page_slug );
?>

for those of you with the same question.


Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers have developed DigitalAnts™, a cyber-defense tool inspired by ant colonies. Real ants use 'swarm intelligence' to identify areas of interest, laying down pheromone paths to attract other ants to the same areas. In DigitalAnts, sensor 'ants' constantly look for system operations that could indicate an attack, quickly alerting each computer's sentinel.

Google Launches Web Designer, a WYSIWYG Application for Creating HTML5 Ads.
Google recently launched Web Designer, a "professional-quality design tool," now officially in public beta for Mac and Windows. Google created Web Designer to allow advertisers to easily create HTML5 ads for mobile and desktop. Web Designer aims to be the tool to create content fit for cross-screen experiences.
While the default layouts in Web Designer are for DoubleClick rich media ads and for AdMob mobile ads, the tool also allows for creating single-page landing pages and timeline animations. And while Web Designer is a visual tool, designers can also work with the code through a built-in editor and preview their work in every browser installed on their machine. Web Designer's tool set includes a pen tool for free drawing, a timeline for managing animations. and a set of pre-built modules for galleries, maps and videos. Web Developer also features a Quick mode for building scene by scene animations and an Advanced mode to give designers control over the individual elements they've put on the page.
By making Web Designer available for free, Google is putting quite a bit of pressure on the other software solutions currently in this space. It will be interesting to see how the community adapts this tool.
