Q: Detect if drawing a path is a circle/rectangle in xcode I want to implement a auto complete feature for a drawing app. Once a free hand object is drawn, I want to detect the type of object (circle/rectangle/triangle) and based on the result would want to plot a corresponding object.
I have read up a bit about OpenCV but then I would need to convert the user drawing into an image at real time.  I am recording the number of points plotted/traced by the touch and also generate a UIBeizerPath of the corresponding path. How do I go about to detecting the shape type?

A: You need to segment the data points first. Google on "stroke segmentation" to find related articles. One simple and fast algorithm is to compute the forward slope and backward slope for each data point, then compute the turning angle between forward slope and backward slope. If the turning angle is greater than a certain angle threshold, then you can assume that your path takes a sharp turn there. From the number of sharp turns computed, you can infer whether the points represent a triangle (with 2 sharp turns), a quadrilateral (with 3 sharp turns) or something else. To infer that the data points represent a circle or a rectangle, you will need to do additional computation. For example, if there is no sharp turns at all, do a circle fitting to the data points to see if the maximum error to the fitted circle is smaller than a certain tolerance. To output a rectangle, you will have to fit straight lines to each segment of data points and check if the fitted lines are more or less orthogonal to each other.

A: Perhaps a simpler solution, at least for perfect shapes: assuming you know the shape you are looking for, you can create the path of that shape within the bounds of your user's UIBezierPath, and then perform a hit test against a stroked version of that path.
For instance, here's a Swift 5 method that detects if a path resembles an oval. I also threw in a method I adapted from another post here to extract all the elements of a UIBezierPath, except a subpath's closure:
extension UIBezierPath {
    /// Indicates whether a manually drawn UIBézierPath resembles an oval.
    func resemblesOval() -> Bool {
        // Get all the path points
        let pathPoints = self.getPathElements().map({$0.point})
        // Create the path of the perfect oval of the same bounds to perform a hit test against
        let perfectOvalPath = UIBezierPath(ovalIn: self.bounds)
        // Choose a hit test ribbon that is a quarter of the average of the bounds' width and height
        let hitWidth = (self.bounds.width + self.bounds.height)/2 * 0.25
        // Stroke the path of the desired perfect oval to create hit test criteria
        let hitPath = perfectOvalPath.cgPath.copy(strokingWithWidth: hitWidth,
                                                     lineCap: .round,
                                                     lineJoin: .miter,
                                                     miterLimit: 0)
        // Create an array to collect points that succeed in the hit test
        var validPathPoints = [CGPoint]()
        // Hit test for each point of our tested path
        for point in pathPoints {
            guard point != nil else { continue }
            if hitPath.contains(point!) {
                validPathPoints.append(point!)
            }
        }
        // If 90% or more were successful, then it is an oval
        if 10 * validPathPoints.count >= 9 * pathPoints.count {
            return true
        }
        return false
    }

            }
        }
        return returnValue
    }
}

A: You can iterate through UIBezierPath points with CGPathApply(..) method. Look here for example.
But you should determine shape type somehow - it's mathematical task and approach depends on your input data.

I googled around, and it seems prop-types was split off into a separate package as a replacement for PropTypes which became deprecated with React 15.5. So my initial guess was that some dependent package was using prop-types. But imagine my surprise when I grepped the entire node_modules tree for 'prop-types' and it wasn't mentioned anywhere (accept in the changelog for eslint-plugin-react).
So now I'm baffled. What is happening here?

A: you need prop-types module.
 npm install --save prop-types

A: This answered my question: How do I fix RN suddenly being unable to find local modules (Unable to resolve module)?
Turns out the advice given in the error actually was correct, but I missed an error message.

Infringement Claims Severed And Stayed Against Manufacturer's Customers, Where Claims Were "Peripheral" To Those Asserted Against Manufacturer
Written By: Christopher H. Blaszkowski
In a series of four separate patent infringement actions, each involving plaintiff Rothschild Mobile Imaging Innovations ("RMII"), defendant Mitek Systems ("Mitek"), and one of four bank customers of Mitek's ("the Bank Defendants"), Judge Sleet granted the Bank Defendants' motions to sever and stay RMII's infringement claims against them until the Court resolves those claims against Mitek. Civ. Nos. 14-617, 14-1142, 14-1143, and 14-1144 (D. Del. July 31, 2015).
The suit concerned Mitek's mobile imaging products and services, and Mitek's provision of the same to the Bank Defendants. The infringement allegations in each of the four suits were "essentially identical", and in each suit, RMII alleged infringement of its four patents by both Mitek's accused products and services as well as the implementation of those products and services by the Bank Defendants. Each of the Bank Defendants individually moved to sever and stay the infringement claims pending resolution of the case against the manufacturer, Mitek.
The Court found that several factors justified severing and staying the claims against the Bank Defendants. First, these infringement claims were "peripheral" to the claims of infringement against Mitek, primarily because the Bank Defendants were customers of Mitek's allegedly infringing technology. Indeed, in such cases, the manufacturer is the "true defendant" and the "real party in interest." Slip op. at p. 5. The Court dismissed RMII's argument that the Bank Defendants' implementations of the accused products were "separate and distinct accused products …." Id. Critically, this argument contradicted statements made by RMII in its own complaints, which provided that the allegations against the Defendants involve "the same or similar related and commonly derived instrumentalities." Slip op. at p. 6.
Second, the Court found that resolution of the infringement claims against Mitek would "dispose of any claims against the Bank Defendants." Id. In other words, the Bank Defendants could only be liable if Mitek were found to be liable. Thus, "[t]he presence of the Bank Defendants as parties neither adds nor detracts from RMII's patent infringement claims against Mitek." Id. Drawing on the Court's "virtually unfettered discretion in determining whether or not severance is appropriate," the Court granted the motions to sever the infringement claims against the Bank Defendants. Id.
The Court also found that each of the three factors typically considered in determining the propriety of a stay favored the Bank Defendants. The Court granted a stay of the infringement claims against the Bank Defendants because: 1) a stay would simplify the issues for trial; 2) the status of the litigation was still very early and trial would not occur for nearly two more years; and 3) no undue prejudice would be suffered and no clear tactical advantage would be gained through the issuance of a stay. Slip op. at p. 7. With respect to the third factor, the Court found that RMII, a patent monetizing entity that sold no products, would be made whole by monetary damages in the event of liability. Consequently, the Court stayed the infringement claims against the Bank Defendants.

Q: Wordpress Breadcrumb switch without plugin (hide show breadcrumb) I'm looking for a button solution for breadcrumb.
I have a breadcrumb on the page that is under the header.
I would like to be able to turn it off / on on a given page / post.
I don't want to use an extra plugin.
Page settings = show or hide breadcrumb. I saw this option somewhere but I can't find the code.
Regards and thanks for help.

A: Paste this code into your functions.php (hopefully, in your child theme):
/* Adds page name to classes for page */
/* Modified is_single to is_singular, which targets both single archive and pages
*/
/* Commented out echo statement, as it was showing up on the page output */
add_filter('body_class','page_class');
function page_class($classes) {
   global $wp_query;
   $page = '';
   $page = $wp_query->query_vars['pagename'];
   // add 'pagename' to the $classes array
   $classes[] = $page;
   // return the $classes array
   return $classes;
}

The slug of the page will now be pasted into the body html of the page. So, a page with slug this-is-me, will now have an html class of this-is-me. Target the breadcrumb html with that class in your css, to display: none;
That will affect only the page with that slug. So, do it for each page where you want to eliminate breadcrumbs.

Trump Administration Permits ENI to Drill for Oil Off Alaska
SHTEPSELL > Economy > Trump Administration Permits ENI to Drill for Oil Off Alaska
Eni US could begin work on oil exploration in federal waters off Alaska as soon as next month after the Trump administration on Tuesday approved permits for leases the company has held for a decade, the Interior Department said.
The department's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, issued Eni US, a unit of Italy's Eni, a permit to explore for oil from an artificial island in the Beaufort Sea. Eni is the first company allowed to explore for oil in federal waters off Alaska since 2015.
The approval is part of the Trump administration's policy to maximize output of fossil fuels for domestic use and for exporting.
Scott Angelle, the BSEE director, said developing Arctic resources responsibly is a "critical component to achieving American energy dominance."
Environmentalists say exploring for oil in the Arctic is dangerous.
"The Trump administration is risking a major oil spill by letting this foreign corporation drill in the unforgiving waters off Alaska," said Kristen Monsell, the legal director for oceans at the Center for Biological Diversity nonprofit group.
Eni wants to drill into the Beaufort from the island using extended wells more than 6 miles (10 km) long. Eni US did not immediately respond to a request for comment about when it would start drilling.
In April President Donald Trump signed a so-called America-First Offshore Energy Strategy executive order to extend offshore drilling to areas in the Arctic and other places that have been off limits.
Eni's leases, which were set to expire by the end of the year, were outside of an area protected by former President Barack Obama weeks before he left office. The company's plan to move ahead with risky and expensive drilling in the Arctic comes despite years of low oil prices and plentiful sources of crude in the continental United States.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc quit its exploration quest offshore of Alaska in 2015 after a ship it had leased suffered a gash in mostly uncharted waters and environmentalists discovered an existing law that limited the company's ability to drill.
Republicans are eager to drill elsewhere in Alaska. A tax bill passed by the Senate budget committee Tuesday contained a provision to open drilling in a portion of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Conservationists say the refuge is one of the planet's last paradises.
The bill, which Republicans hope to pass in the full Senate this week, faces an uncertain future.

Q: Azure AD : Single or Multitenant for SaaS-web application We are in the planning phase of creating a web application for employee time tracking systems. If the application is successful, we hope to sell it to other companies as a SaaS (software as a service) service, so that it does not need to be installed on enterprise servers.
I wonder if we should register our application on Azure, as Multitenant or Single tenant? Only employees of a company should be able to use the time reporting system, so I consider using single tenant. But how does it work if other companies want to buy the service and connect their employees? Do we need to create a new web application that is single tenant and unique to the new company?
Or should we register the application as multitenant so that other companies can connect to our Azure AD?
I'm relatively new to Azure AD, and could use some advice from someone with more experience with Azure and cloud services.

A: I thinks you should register the application as public (multi-tenant).  For how to chose between single tenant and multi tenant, you may refer to: Tenancy in Azure Active Directory
With multi-tenant application, it does not means that customers will connect to your Azure AD. In fact, they will still connect to their own Azure ADs, get authenticated, and finally send the authentication results to your web app. Once your web app gets the authentication result, it can identify each user and take some operations for the user.
The Azure portal is just a perfect multi-tenant SaaS application sample. All the Azure users from different tenants just use the same portal web app, they sign in with their own credentials, and they are just able to manage the resources belong to themselves.
To build such a multi-tenant app, some necessary business logic is needed. For example, you need to put data from different users to different places, create different table in your SQL for different users, and so on.

Divinity Theses
Rethinking the role of Roman Catholic and Sunni Islamic institutions in post-conflict state building
Dragovic, Denis
Aguilar, Mario I.
State building
Post-conflict
This thesis develops a model that can be used to assess the ability of religious institutions to contribute to post-conflict state building. Highlighting the tendency in state building literature to stop short in discussing what seems to be inferred, but unnameable—religion—the research proposes a framework that identifies theoretical mechanisms through which religious institutions can contribute to post-conflict state building. Drawing from the theologies of Roman Catholicism and Sunni Islam the thesis then reflects upon why they would, of their own accord, lend their considerable legitimacy and resources. The thesis diverges from traditional approaches such as rational choice theory that suggest religious institutions act to maximise membership or assets, and instead embraces a teleological view recognizing the importance of belief structures in understanding a religious institution's motivations. It embraces salvation as a hermeneutical key to outline a Roman Catholic theology of state building while drawing upon the concept of justice for Sunni Islam. The thesis concludes by incorporating the particularistic nuances of Bosnia and Herzegovina's unique historically and culturally influenced religious practices, structures and theologies to suggest the ability and willingness of the two religions' institutions to contribute to their country's state building.

Q: WPF Toolbar with Prism My question follows this question: WPF Module toolbar prism
Is it possible to use a WPF Toolbar as a Prism Region? What I want to do is something like this:
<DockPanel>
    <ToolBarTray DockPanel.Dock="Top">
        <ToolBar prism:RegionManager.RegionName="MainNavigationRegion">

        </ToolBar>
    </ToolBarTray>
</DockPanel>

Basically, what I want is my modules being able to populate the toolbar buttons in a navigation region, but still keep the properties of a Toolbar (collapse when all the buttons don't fit).

A: Basically in PRISM every region will be separate usercontrol/project meaning plug and play of modules,You can do one thing create toolbar or Ribbon panel in one user control and register that view in bootstraper, as usual then bind respective view in Shell.xaml .

Australian universities defer exams, increase response to coronavirus outbreak
Universities have announced they will be flexible in creating arrangements for students who have been caught up in areas affected by the coronavirus to continue their studies as the semester begins next month.

A number of Australian universities have ramped up their response to the novel coronavirus outbreak after a University of New South Wales student living on campus, who had recently travelled to Wuhan, was confirmed to have contracted the disease.
The outbreak comes as Australia's thousands of Chinese international students prepare to begin the new semester next month, raising additional questions over how delays travelling from affected areas and quarantine periods would be managed.
Australia's largest university, Victoria's Monash University, on Wednesday announced they would be deferring summer school exams scheduled for next week due to the threat, while the University of Sydney (USyd) launched an internal pandemic response group to make "high-level decisions" regarding the outbreak.

"Commencing students who have been impacted and are unable to travel to commence their studies will have the option to defer or have their fees refunded," a USyd spokesperson said.
The USyd Student Representative Council (SRC) has also announced it would be cancelling all face-to-face meetings between staff members and students due to the virus, also known as 2019-nCoV, and would instead hold them over Skype.
SRC President Liam Donohoe told SBS News that the decision was made due to the potential that large numbers of people would be returning to the university from affected areas.
"We did not want to create some kind of policy that said only some students can access the SRC, and others cannot access the SRC," he said. "So we thought the best resolution in light of that was to make it a blanket restriction."
Seventh Australian coronavirus case confirmed as government health advice ramped up
Mr Donohoe said there were a number of students who were concerned about how the outbreak would affect their studies.
"That's precisely why we've been trying to push the university, and we will be pushing the pandemic response group, to provide a lot more certainty and make some pretty clear decisions now," he said.
"Particularly with respect to whether or not they will be accepting students back … and secondly, regardless of whether they choose to restrict students or not, some students are going to be subject to at least some form of quarantining, so it's really important the university comes up with a clear way to deal with that."
As of October last year, there were more than 730,000 international students in Australia, with 28 per cent of this total hailing from China.
Australians stranded in Wuhan to be evacuated to Christmas Island
The University of New South Wales (UNSW), which confirmed earlier this week that a 21-year-old student of the university had contracted the disease while in China, said the semester would be proceeding as normal, but students unable to travel from the Hubei province would be able to defer their studies without financial penalty.
The Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra also said it was currently operating as "business as usual" and events marking the beginning of the semester would go ahead as planned.
"We are committed to supporting the academic success of our students and ensuring the semester proceeds as normally as possible and will use a high degree of flexibility as needed," ANU Vice-Chancellor Brian Schmidt said in a statement.
"This includes alternative arrangements for students who may not be able to travel back to Australia from affected areas, or who may have a delayed arrival onto campus."

All of the above-mentioned universities have also cancelled non-essential staff and student travel to China in line with the government's updated Smart Traveller warning.
The current advice on the Department of Health's website says students who have travelled to mainland China recently but not developed any symptoms may attend university as usual.
On Wednesday evening, however, Australia's Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy announced that experts now believe the virus may be contagious before carriers experience any symptoms and urged people who have travelled to the Hubei region to self-isolate for 14 days, even if they feel well.
More than 50 million people have been locked down in and around Wuhan in a bid by authorities to stop the spread of the virus, which has so far infected almost 6,000 people globally and killed 132 people in China.
A total of seven people in Australia have been confirmed to have contracted the virus, including two in Victoria, one in Queensland and four in NSW.

Have you ever struggled with the concept of "being a woman" ? Perhaps it sounds even odd to ask, I mean, physically you are one, right? So why is it that so many women worldwide live with such insecurity to express all that they are? In this foundational interview Natalie speaks with Rachael to uncover the not so mysterious answers ... close all your browsers this is not your average online TV, an intimate chat revealing some honest truths all women can relate to.
Forget Queer-Eye for the Straight Guy, this is the wardrobe deconstruction with absolute substance. How many characters live inside your closet? ..The Little Girl? ..The Pleaser? ..The Business Professional? ..The Good Out-fit? ..The Boho-Queen? ..The Nana? ..The Hide-my-Bum-and-Tum?
This is the makeover you've always wanted, the one that was never about the clothes.
What can change in the space of one week? Well, a lot when Natalie is involved. But is it only skin deep, or something much more? ... We re-visit Rachael in her home to let her reveal the changes.
If this can happen in a week... what else is possible?
A picture tells a thousand words, and in this case even more. In order to maintain integrity and authenticity of the show, Rachael was never coached by the Natalie, with Love Team on how to present herself on camera. There is no flashy lights, makeup artists or special camera angles that could better produce the natural changes this woman released for herself.
The best part is... these photos are only the beginning of it. Be sure to watch the Rachael Revisited to see just how deep this woman's transformation goes.
After much anticipated wait, plenty of hours filming, travelling, editing and final finessing the Natalie, with Love TV series is live and ready for your viewing.
Thankyou to all our supporters and sponsors who without we would never been able to make the show possible.
Rachael willingly took up the opportunity to star in the initial episode of Natalie, with Love as she knew it would be a life-changing event.
Q: What did you expect from being on the first episode of the Natalie, with Love series?
A: Well, I didn't actually expect anything! But, I did know for sure that anything to do with Natalie Benhayon would be the real deal and that there was no point in expecting anything when Natalie rolls by sense and feel. In other words, with no real blue print for how the episode was going to look, Natalie was free to feel the next steps depending on my willingness to be open and honest. I had 100% trust in Natalie's ability to steer the episode in a way that would support me and develop our conversation.
Q: Did you feel like you needed a make-over?
A: In the conventional or highlighted sense of that word 'make-over' I would say NO – I love how I look and I am not unhappy with myself as a person. However, the idea of being part of a make-over session with Natalie Benhayon was bound to push the limits of what that actually means. I came from a place of not wanting to fix anything but explore a question and concern I was having about my life as being a woman. This then lead to an incredible shift of what that looked like on the outside and felt like on the inside. Natalie is re-establishing what a make-over actually is and my experience proved to me that it happens from the inside out.
Q: What has changed for you since filming the episode?
A: Heaps! My whole life has changed and people have noticed when they see me now that something has shifted in me and I am no longer hiding. Even after the filming, without telling people about the episode, some friends and work colleagues were scratching their heads wondering what was different. My level of confidence has been noticeable, in how I move, what I say and especially what I wear.
back to express everything we are.

é um macarrão japonês branco e muito fino, feito de farinha de trigo. Ele é normalmente servido frio e seu diâmetro mede menos de 1,3 mm. A diferença principal entre o somen e os macarrões mais grossos como o hiyamugui e o udon é o seu tamanho. Para produzi-lo, ele é esticado, assim como alguns tipos de udon.

Somen são normalmente servidos frios com um molho leve ou tsuyu. O tsuyu costuma ser um molho baseado no katsuobushi que pode ser temperado com cebolinha, gengibre ou myoga. No verão, é comum o somen ser resfriado com gelo para torná-lo mais refrescante.
Somen servido em uma sopa quente normalmente é chamado de nyumen e comido no inverno, assim como o sobá e o udon.

O somen teve sua origem entre os séculos VII e IX, na Província de Nara, quando os japoneses trouxeram da China o sakuhei, um prato típico da região feito de farinha de arroz e trigo.

Como preparar?
A massa deve ser cozida em água fervente e fica pronta em cerca de dois minutos. Basta escorrer o macarrão, passar em água corrente e servir em um recipiente com água e gelo (para garantir a temperatura ideal para o consumo).

Nagashi somen

Alguns restaurantes oferecem o  no verão. O macarrão é colocado em um longo pedaço de bambu cortado que atravessa o restaurante. O bambu carrega água gelada. À medida que o somen passa, os clientes pegam os fios de macarrão com os hashis e os mergulham no tsuyu. Conseguir pegar o macarrão requer destreza, mas como os macarrões que não são pegos ao final da refeição normalmente não são comidos, os clientes são incentivados a pegar o tanto que conseguirem. Alguns estabelecimentos mais luxuosos colocam o somen em bambus verdadeiros, para que os clientes possam desfrutar da refeição dentro de um bonito jardim. Também existem máquinas que simulam a experiência em casa.

How To UTILIZE THE Samsung Galaxy S7 Camera Settings
With the newly released Samsung Galaxy S, it certainly makes you question it the touch screen cellular phone is any good at all. The Galaxy S10 Plus has dual camcorders up front, and some do not like the punchhole key difference between your four models is size. The Galaxy S10e has a 5.8-inches, full-HD display, which is the same size screen as the iPhone XS The Galaxy S10 steps up to 6.1-in ., quad-HD panel, and the Galaxy S10 Plus packs a 6.4-inches, quad-HD panel. At 6.17 ounces, the Galaxy S10 Plus is on the big side but nonetheless a full ounce lighter than the iPhone XS Maximum (7.34 oz .), which has a slightly bigger 6.5-in . screen. And the S10 Plus isn't even the largest new Galaxy handset of them all – that designation is reserved for the 6.7-inches, 6.98-ounce S10 5G.
Moto Actions also offers you a number of different features to make using your phone easier all with simple gestures. When you are the Moto app, tap on Moto Actions and you will be brought to a list of different ones you can toggle on. There is Quick Screenshot – allowing you to touch and hang on the screen with three of your fingertips to capture it, along with Grab to avoid ringing which turns incoming calls to vibrate when you lift your device, among others.
That could indicate lots of things, but in short, the Pixel 3 is very costly to compete with the Samsung, Apple, and even Huawei mobile phones of the world. Especially because the design is nowhere close to as good. If you are contending in the high quality space, looks are as important as rate, and when offered an $900 Pixel 3 XL or a Galaxy S10, almost everyone will choose the Samsung phone, whatever the advantages Google offers.
Motorola's range of budget kings has a new model with the appearance of the Moto G6 smartphone. But how does the new model compare to the last major installment in the Moto G range, the Moto G5 ? Although Moto G5 was never officially released in the U.S., it was still an enormous hit throughout the world. Using the new G6 in the wings, how do the two measure? We got a turn to find out.

However, the new tests methods have also exposed some artifact-related issues: the Pixel loses factors for very strong flare , and maze and moiré artifacts are now also more noticeable in our more challenging updated test scenes.
My app experience was limited in the short time I used it. But I was able to play around with what Samsung is calling application continuity." This is the ability to launch certain applications on the small display screen," and then unfold the telephone watching the application auto-magically increase to full size on the larger display.

Q: 2D NSString array usage inside block method Why am I not able to use this?
__block NSString *tableStrings[4][2];

[userValues enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(NSNumber *userScore, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
        tableStrings[idx][0] = @"< 5";
        tableStrings[idx][1] = @"> 95";
}];

The compiler is yelling at me of "Cannot refer to declaration with an array type inside block". I was under the impression that denoting __block before the variable would allow this to be done. I can make it work with using NSString[x][x] but I'm curious as to why this is not allowed.

A: Blocks cannot access array variables of automatic or __block storage from the enclosing scope. That's just a restriction of blocks. It's because both of those things requires being able to copy the variable. And array type is not assignable.
It would be possible for them to make a special case for arrays, that arrays are copied element-by-element. C++11 lambdas makes this special case, so they can capture arrays by value, even though arrays are not assignable. However, the blocks people didn't bother to make this special case.


LONDON (Reuters) - A slump in the euro zone's biggest trading partners' currencies this year is blunting any boost that the euro's weakness versus the dollar could provide the region's exporters.
Two months before the European Central Bank is scheduled to begin winding up its crisis-era bond-buying program, the task is being complicated by signs that the bloc's economic momentum is running out of steam, and the euro is not helping.
While the single currency's 5 percent drop against the dollar EUR= in 2018 has captured the headlines, in "effective" terms it is roughly flat since January and close to four-year highs.
That is according to an ECB-compiled index EUREER=ECBF that comprises the weighted average of the euro versus a basket of the bloc's 19 main trading partners.
Shifting trade patterns have diminished the dollar's role in the euro's trade-weighted basket to 17 percent from 22 percent in 2003.
By contrast, emerging currencies account for more than half, led by China's yuan on around 23 percent, up from sub-10 percent in 2003.
Hit by the United States's trade levies, the yuan has fallen across the board; against the euro it has lost 6 percent EURCNY= since June and around 1 percent since January.
That undermines the ECB's desire for a weaker euro to help stir stubbornly low inflation and support exporters at a time when slowing global growth momentum and trade tensions are dampening demand.
Many economists expect the ECB to lower its growth forecasts at its December policy meeting.
"What is under-appreciated is that there's been a massive break between euro trade-weighted and euro-dollar, and it's the former that really matters for the export sector," said Tim Graf, State Street Global Advisors' head of EMEA macro strategy.
"On that basis the euro is actually very strong because of Brexit, yuan depreciation and Turkey. The lira alone added 0.7 pct to the trade-weighted euro basket," Graf said, referring to the summer selloff that saw the lira hit record lows.
To be sure, a sturdy euro is not the main worry for ECB policymakers grappling with fading economic momentum and ructions in Italian bond markets.
Marchel Alexandrovich, an economist at Jefferies, said the euro was "not something the ECB is going to lose sleep over", arguing that a stronger currency may prove a bigger concern after quantitative easing ends.
But the euro's strength comes as worries about growth increase - euro zone economic expansion slowed in the third quarter, and third-biggest member Italy stagnated.
While overall consumer price growth in the euro zone accelerated last month to 2.2 percent, the closely watched "core" inflation rate stood at 1.3 percent. The bank's inflation target is 2 percent.
Policymakers hope higher wages will fuel a rise in inflation soon.
ECB president Mario Draghi played down growth concerns last week, noting "weaker momentum, not a downturn," and sticking to plans to exit stimulus at year-end.
"They don't have much wiggle room, because anything hawkish will strengthen the euro and they just won't want that with export growth starting to moderate," said State Street's Graf.

Excellence in Science and Exploration
Partner Event hosted by Rolex SA; Brian P. Schmidt, Gina Moseley; Moderator: Faith McLellan
Astrophysicist Brian Schmidt jointly won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics after presenting the first evidence that the universe's expansion is accelerating not slowing down, as was thought. Currently Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University, he is a leading proponent of the Mainau Declaration on Climate Change (2015). The declaration, signed by 72 Nobel Laureates, appealed to the world to take decisive action to limit future global emissions and was presented during COP21 in Paris.
Gina Moseley, who won a Rolex Award for Enterprise in 2021, is a British climate researcher, polar explorer and caver. She is currently Professor and Research Group Leader at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, specializing in caves as time-capsules for past climates. She has led three expeditions to Greenland and is planning another in 2023, supported by Rolex, to explore the planet's northern-most caves. Her world-first expedition seeks to expose the risk to humanity from polar regions now heating twice as fast as elsewhere.
Moderator: Faith McLellan, scientific writer and editor, World Health Organization
Nobel Laureate Albert Einstein once famously said: "the greatest scientists are artists as well", reigniting a debate that has raged across the centuries. An exploration of the importance of creative thinking alongside excellence in scientific practice to solve problems or expand knowledge of the world goes to the heart of the annual Rolex Partner breakfast.
This year, our panellists Gina Moseley and Brian Schmidt will discuss how science and exploration are contributing to knowledge about climate change, and how to present evidence that informs the world about this crucial line of research. They will also describe how important creativity and detective work are to their findings.
Moseley says that one of the best ways to understand climate change is to be found in studying the chemical history of caves, to look for the presence of calcite mineral deposits, which are also known as speleothems and are formed from dripping water. For water to enter the caves in northern Greenland, the climate would have to have been warmer and wetter than it is today. If calcite is found on her expedition to north-eastern Greenland in 2023, Moseley's research could potentially extend the existing climate record for the far north fourfold – taking it up to half a million years ago. By comparing Greenland's cave records with other climate records and with sea levels, it is possible to build a more global picture of the planet in a warmer period.
Greenland is a region vital to the planet's future. Its ice sheet is melting at record rates. On a single day in 2019, it added up to 12 billion tonnes of water to the oceans. World sea levels are rising by more than a millimetre a month, which scientists did not expect to see for another 50 years. When the Greenland ice cap is gone, sea levels will be lifted by six to seven metres.
Rolex and science
From its earliest days, Rolex has been at the forefront of science and innovation. The company pioneered the development of the wristwatch, including landmark innovations such as the first waterproof wristwatch, the Oyster, and the Perpetual rotor self-winding mechanism.
Its watches have accompanied explorers and achievers around the world, from the top of the highest mountains to the deepest reaches of the ocean. Alongside watchmaking, Rolex is also actively involved in supporting the arts, sport and exploration, as well as those who are devising solutions to preserve the planet.
Historically, Rolex has been linked to cutting-edge scientific institutions such as CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, one of the world's top research institutes. Since the mid-1970s, Laureates of the Rolex Awards for Enterprise have helped advance our knowledge of the world, often in the realm of science.
Rolex's support of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings since 2015 is part of this legacy, as the exchange between Nobel Laureates and young scientists inspires new advances that will benefit all mankind.
Rolex is proud to host this Partner Breakfast to further the mission of the Lindau Meetings: demonstrate the sharing of knowledge between scientists of different generations, cultures and disciplines.


Hazy conditions are likely to continue through Friday.
Portland woke up to a layer of smoke this morning, drifting in from wildfires burning Eastern Oregon and Southern Washington.
The National Weather Service forecasts that Portland air quality conditions could get worse this afternoon, even as temperatures rise toward 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Skies are predicted to remain hazy through the week.
Oregon isn't the only state suffering. An NWS satellite image show an expansive layer of smoke is currently covering Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho and Northern California.
Oregon Department of Air Quality advises vulnerable populations—elderly folks, children, people with lung and heart conditions— to stay indoors and keep windows shut. And according to DEQ's most recent air quality measurement, the excess of smoke in Portland air means "everyone may begin to experience health effects."
To boot, temperatures are expected to reach 98 degrees Fahrenheit today, as Portland creeps toward breaking its all-time record for very hot summer days.

Fewer chickpeas means cheap protein, and hummus might be harder to find
CHICAGO, July 6 (Reuters) – It's not a good time to be a hummus fan.
Global stocks of chickpeas, the key ingredient, could fall by up to 20% this year, according to data from the Global Pulse Confederation. Weather and war have affected supplies of the protein-rich bean, driving up food prices and causing headaches for food manufacturers. Continue reading
Chickpeas are used in hummus, flour, soups, stews and curries. While they're growing in popularity in the United States, they've long been key to feeding people in India and the Middle East — places that are already struggling to meet the rising cost of food imports.

Farmers in the United States — the No. 4 exporter of chickpeas — planted fewer chickpeas this year as inclement weather slowed spring sowing and they prioritized more lucrative commodity crops like wheat and corn, government data shows.
Meanwhile, top South Asia and Mediterranean buyers are scrambling to buy up dwindling US inventories as supplies shrink worldwide and the war between Russia and Ukraine — both chickpea producers — exacerbates disruptions to global supply chains.
"When war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, demand boomed," said Jeff Van Pevenage, chief executive officer of Columbia Grain International, a grain and legume trader and distributor headquartered in Portland, Oregon. "We saw strong demand from China, then calls came from customers in Pakistan and Bangladesh."
Ukraine has not been able to sow its entire chickpea crop due to the war, removing 50,000 tons normally destined for Europe, said Navneet Singh Chhabra, director of Shree Sheela International, a global chickpea trader and brokerage firm.
Sanctions aimed at cutting off Russia's access to the global financial system have also hampered purchases of its agricultural products, he said, as some buyers try to avoid payment complications. As a top exporter of chickpeas, Russia typically accounts for about 25% of world trade, he said.
"Russia exports at least 200,000 to 250,000 tons a year. When the war started in February, supplies were completely destroyed," he said.
Transportation problems have exacerbated supply constraints and contributed to rising prices, particularly in the United States.
Backlogs from ocean-going vessels in the Pacific Northwest have forced some grain traders to ship containers of chickpeas thousands of miles by rail car and take more expensive and circuitous routes to fulfill orders.
Columbia Grain International normally exports some of its chickpeas by sea through the Pacific Northwest. But as West Coast ports became overwhelmed, Columbia Grain began shipping chickpeas to Houston, Texas, by rail last fall in search of available sea transportation options — nearly doubling shipping costs, Van Pevenage said.
When the congested train lines also returned, these chickpeas arrived in port long after ships had left. Continue reading
"We've had the product in Houston for eight weeks awaiting an outbound ship," said Van Pevenage.
Columbia Grain is now considering shipping to Charleston, South Carolina, Van Pevenage said.

North Dakota farmer Kim Saueressig decided last year not to plant chickpeas in his drought-parched fields. Known as a legume or grain legume harvested for its protein-rich seeds, chickpeas are also susceptible to diseases that can require costly fungicides, he said.
"Prices are still pretty good, but it's a headache to deal with," Saueressig said.
Tight inventories have helped push US retail prices higher. Chickpeas on US grocery shelves are up 12% year over year, nearly 17% higher than before the pandemic, according to the latest data from NielsenIQ. Hummus prices are up 6.9% since 2019.
Hummus maker Sabra Dipping Company keeps ample supplies "to guard against the unexpected," Chief Executive Joey Bergstein told Reuters.
The company struggled with production disruptions earlier this year during a plant upgrade in Chesterfield County, Virginia, which saw customers send a spate of complaints on Twitter and Facebook about hummus shortages.
GLOBAL DEMAND
According to trade data and research from Shree Sheela International, global demand is outstripping supply. Turkey imposed an export ban while yields in Mexico shrank due to weather problems.
In Australia, a leading exporter of chickpeas, farmers struggled with flooded fields while sellers struggled to secure container slots on ocean freighters.
Some farmers may transplant, said Ole Houe, director of advisory services at Sydney-based agricultural brokerage IKON Commodities.
"Parts of the planted area are still under water," said Houe, who noted that Australia exports chickpeas mainly to the top-consuming markets of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
In the United States, farmers planted nearly 5% fewer chickpeas this year, the Department of Agriculture reported.
The US market has already struggled with reduced inventories after last year's production was reduced by a third due to the devastating drought from North Dakota to Washington state. Total domestic shipments as of June 1 are down 10.5% year-on-year, according to USDA data.
Still, Montana farmer Ryan Bogar is betting the scarcity will pay off for the 1,500 acres of chickpeas his family planted this spring. Chickpeas need less fertilizer than corn, he said, and can sell twice as much as wheat, he said.
Wheat prices hit near a record high in March but have recently fallen to pre-Ukraine war levels as recession fears around the world weigh on commodity markets.
"Wheat will foot the bills. But if you want to buy new equipment or have money for an expansion, you'd better have a few peas in the mix," Bogar said.

What type of shareholders own the most number of Poseidon Nickel Limited shares?
©SIMPLY WALL ST — (January 26, 2021)
A look at the shareholders of Poseidon Nickel Limited (ASX:POS) can tell us which group is most powerful. Generally speaking, as a company grows, institutions will increase their ownership. Conversely, insiders often decrease their ownership over time. We also tend to see lower insider ownership in companies that were previously publicly owned.
Poseidon Nickel is not a large company by global standards. It has a market capitalization of AU$228m, which means it wouldn't have the attention of many institutional investors. In the chart below, we can see that institutional investors have bought into the company. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about Poseidon Nickel.
What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Poseidon Nickel?
Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices.
As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Poseidon Nickel. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Poseidon Nickel's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.
We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Poseidon Nickel. Black Mountain Metals LLC is currently the largest shareholder, with 20% of shares outstanding. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 11% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 4.5% by the third-largest shareholder.
We did some more digging and found that 10 of the top shareholders account for roughly 50% of the register, implying that along with larger shareholders, there are a few smaller shareholders, thereby balancing out each others interests somewhat.
While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. We're not picking up on any analyst coverage of the stock at the moment, so the company is unlikely to be widely held.
Insider Ownership Of Poseidon Nickel
The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.
Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.
We can see that insiders own shares in Poseidon Nickel Limited. It has a market capitalization of just AU$228m, and insiders have AU$7.8m worth of shares, in their own names. Some would say this shows alignment of interests between shareholders and the board, though I generally prefer to see bigger insider holdings. But it might be worth checking if those insiders have been selling.
General Public Ownership
The general public holds a 47% stake in Poseidon Nickel. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders.
Private Company Ownership
It seems that Private Companies own 21%, of the Poseidon Nickel stock. It's hard to draw any conclusions from this fact alone, so its worth looking into who owns those private companies. Sometimes insiders or other related parties have an interest in shares in a public company through a separate private company.

Tendances politiques et résultats
La Neuvelle-lès-Lure est une commune marquée par sa forte tendance à la droite et surtout à l'extrême droite.

Ce tableau montre la volonté de dégagisme qui attire l'électorat de la Neuvelle-lès-Lure. En 2002, le président sortant Jacques Chirac arrive bien loin derrière le populiste Jean-Marie Le Pen. Quant au Premier ministre sortant Lionel Jospin, il ne recueille pas plus de 6,7 % des voix, un score très faible pour le Parti socialiste. Si 2007 voit l'arrivée de l'UMP en tête des suffrages, c'est sans doute parce que le discours de Nicolas Sarkozy était volontiers un discours de rupture avec la présidence Chirac. 2012 suit la même tendance, puisque le président sortant n'arrive qu'en troisième place à la Neuvelle-lès-Lure, et est largement battu au second tour (plus largement qu'à l'échelle nationale). En 2017 à nouveau, le parti du président sortant ne dépasse pas le seuil des 5 %, et Emmanuel Macron, ministre sous François Hollande, est puni par les électeurs et électrices de la Neuvelle-lès-Lure qui le placent en troisième position à égalité avec le candidat populiste de gauche Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Le second tour accentue le phénomène en plaçant Marine Le Pen devant le candidat En Marche, tendance inverse à celle observée dans la population française dans son ensemble.
