For the 24th time this season and the third race in a row, Blaney finished highest among the Open teams, and by a significant margin. Starting 15th, but sent to the rear for unapproved adjustments, the Virginia Tech colors picked their way through the field. Blaney was one of a handful of drivers to stay out during the first caution for Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.'s accident, and the decision to improve track position proved a good one. With just five cautions on the day, Blaney lost two laps, but held on to third-straight Top 20 finish. Next week, he heads to Texas, where he finished 29th in the spring, but qualified a strong 7th.
When Dylan Lupton returned to make his third Cup start of the season, DiBenedetto moved from his chartered #83 to BK Racing's part-time Open #93 team. Both cars carried sponsorship from E.J. Wade Construction - Lupton's car red over black, DiBenedetto's black over red. When Premium Motorsports withdrew Cole Whitt's #98 car, leaving 40 drivers for 40 spots, both teams qualified with DiBenedetto ten spots ahead of Lupton. In the end, DiBenedetto finished one spot and one lap behind Lupton, his car slowing and coming to pit road in the race's final moments, narrowly avoiding a race-changing caution. Lupton has never made a Cup start at Texas while DiBenedetto ran 34th in April. Ryan Ellis is scheduled to bring the #93 back at Phoenix in two weeks with returning sponsor ScienceLogic.
UPDATE (Oct. 31): Ellis is also entered in the #93 at Texas with Dylan Lupton in the #83, leaving DiBenedetto without a Cup ride.
For the second-straight race, Reed Sorenson stood alone for Premium Motorsports, and once again was saddled by trips to the garage area. This time, electrical issues including at least two battery changes forced him behind the wall around Lap 215, and he returned to the track on Lap 261, 55 circuits behind. Sorenson made at least two more trips to the garage in the race's second half, returning 75 down, then 93 down by Lap 459. He did not lose another lap, and came home the final car under power. Next week, Sorenson looks to improve on his 36th-place showing in the spring Texas race.
Gaulding made his Cup debut on Sunday, and The Motorsports Group (TMG)'s #30 made a rare start in a car that wasn't flat black. Fighting a tight-handling car, Gaulding managed to keep his nose clean. Slowly losing laps to the leaders, he pulled behind the wall with around 170 laps to go, apparently due to a rear gear issue. The problem apparently ended the driver's day as Gaulding was photographed standing in the pits, his car falling to 38th on Lap 386. But he managed to return to competition around Lap 430. He almost made it to the finish, but with four laps to go was off the track once more trailing smoke, retired with rear gear issues. Josh Wise, the team's full-time driver, finished last at Texas in April and is expected to return next week. Gaulding will wrap up the season with TMG at Phoenix and Homestead.
For the second-straight race, Premium Motorsports withdrew the #98 team on Friday, leaving Cole Whitt out of Sunday's field. If driver and team return next week at Texas, Whitt will look to defend his 30th-place finish from the spring.
None of the other part-time Open teams attempted the race in Martinsville.
The entry list on NASCAR.com (and other sites) has DiBenedetto back in the 83 and Ellis in the 93 (as was announced earlier this year). The Dallas PD/ZAK Products scheme that was posted to BK's Twitter feed has Matty D's name in the windshield, too.

The container that provides a horizontal layout. It provides a horizontal scrolling on the mobile devices. On the desktop, it provides scroll left and scroll right buttons. This control supports keyboard navigation. You can use ← and → to navigate through the inner content. The Home key puts focus on the first control and the End key puts focus on the last control. Use Enter or Space key to choose the control. (source)

I found that if I delete event listener in browser debugger for KEYPRESS body#content.sapUiBody, the space bar starts working fine for all type of text fields.

<ObjectHeader id="ohDetails"
  numberState="Success"
  responsive="true"
>
  <headerContainer>
    <IconTabBar id="itb1"
      select=".onIconTabBarSelect"
      expandable="false"
    >
      <items>
        <!-- ... -->
        <IconTabFilter id="iftLog"
          key="logKey"
          icon="sap-icon://notes"
        >
          <VBox alignContent="End">
            <FeedInput id="fiComment"
              class="sapUiSmallMarginTopBottom"
              post=".onSubmitComment"
              icon="sap-icon://comment"
              placeholder="{i18n>plhFeedInput}"
            />
            <!-- ... -->
          </VBox>
        </IconTabFilter>
      </items>
    </IconTabBar>
  </headerContainer>
</ObjectHeader>

A: There is nothing wrong with putting <IconTabBar> as the header container of <ObjectHeader>. In fact, the <headerContainer> aggregation awaits <IconTabBar> as one of the controls that implements "sap.m.ObjectHeaderContainer".
The reason why it didn't work was because of the regression introduced with commit:d05437d while trying to prevent scrolling when the space bar was pressed. With commit:38f5481, it's all fixed now.

*

*Preventing all pressing of SPACE when inside ObjectHeader caused that, in case there is Input field inside HeaderContainer, the user couldn't enter space in it.

*On the other hand, SPACE is still prevented on all interactive elements of the ObjectHeader.

Demo: https://jsbin.com/takequm/edit?js,output

Update: the fix is now distributed with 1.67+. After updating the UI5 resource bootstrap to, for example, src="https://ui5.sap.com/1.70.0/resources/sap-ui-core.js", we can see that the spacebar works again.

Q: What does "Latest Restore Time" says in AWS RDS(Mysql) instances page I have two RDS MySQL instances and when I look at the instances page, I have seen a field named "Latest Restore Time" and the value for it is some time stamp in IST time zone.
I would like to know what it actually mean. Being the individual server:

*

*What is the need for this to be Restored?

*Where it gets restored?

A: Given the RDS Console tooltip, the Latest Restore Time defines The latest time to which a database can be restored with point-in-time restore. and not the last time the database was restored.
The database can be restored from Amazon RDS Automated Backup tool that can be configured in the Amazon RDS Modify DB Instance page. The default window backup is 7 days, every 30 minutes.

A:
You can restore to any point in time during your backup retention period. To determine the latest restorable time for a DB instance, use the AWS CLI describe-db-instances command and look at the value returned in the LatestRestorableTime field for the DB instance. The latest restorable time for a DB instance is typically within 5 minutes of the current time.

Tory fury at 'slap in the face' move to ditch 'GB' stickers
July 5, 2021 Dianne Reeves Online news
Tories voiced anger today at a 'slap in the face' move to drop traditional GB stickers for Brits driving abroad.
The legal emblem for bumpers and number plates is being switched to 'UK' from the end of September.
The change – which will come just nine months after a Brexit redesign to get rid of the EU stars – is intended to be more inclusive for Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland is not a part of Great Britain which consists of England, Wales and Scotland.
However, the GB sticker has been used when travelling abroad on cars from all parts of the UK.
It means that people will now need a UK sticker to be legal on the roads abroad. Any penalties for failing to comply will depend on the rules in specific countries.
The AA bemoaned the loss of the 'famed' GB sticker and said it amounted to 'losing another element of British motoring'.
MPs are now urging Transport Secretary Grant Shapps to think again, branding the move a waste of time and money.
The legal emblem for bumpers and numberplates is being switched to 'UK' from the end of September
The AA bemoaned the loss of the 'famed' GB sticker and said it amounted to 'losing another element of British motoring'
It is understood the Government notified the UN last week that it was changing the marking for vehicles registered in the United Kingdom from 'GB'.
Previously new plates showed GB under a circle of EU stars, but on January 31 this year Mr Shapps said that would change to GB under the Union flag.
'Brits will be able to drive on the Continent without GB stickers thanks to NEW reg plate with Union Flag & GB,' he tweeted.
Tory MP Ian Liddell-Grainger told MailOnline he will be contacting Mr Shapps to ask why the change was happening.
'That is a bit bloody rum,' he said. 'I can't see the point. It seems to me to be a complete waste of money when we don't need to be wasting money.
'It also seems to be a slap in the face for people who are proud to be GB.'
He added: 'It is a waste of time, a waste of money and I don't know why we are bothering…
'We have gone from Grande Bretagne to Royaume-Uni, which isn't the same at all.'
Edmund King, the president of the AA, expressed disappointment at the prospect of losing what he described as part of 'our motoring heritage'.
He told The Telegraph: 'From a heritage point of view, we have lots of classic cars, such as Jaguars, Spitfires, and so on, that have metal GB signs on the rear of the car.
'Now I don't propose that they take them off but what they will now have to do is have a tacky plastic UK sticker alongside it.
'So from a historic perspective, we have lost the tax disk on the windscreen and we are now losing another element of British motoring, the famed GB sticker.'
Government sources told The Sunday Times that the change will make things more 'inclusive of Northern Ireland'.
They said using the 'UK' badge will help to 'promote the whole of the UK abroad'.
The attempt to show UK unity comes amid a rumbling post-Brexit row with the EU over the Northern Ireland Protocol which has inflamed community tensions.
The implementation of border checks in the Irish Sea on goods travelling from GB to Northern Ireland has provoked unionist fury.
They believe the Brexit customs checks create an unacceptable economic barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
Changing the number plate sticker from GB to UK will be seen as an attempt to send a clear message about Northern Ireland's place in the United Kingdom.
MPs are urging Transport Secretary Grant Shapps (pictured) to think again, branding the move a waste of time and money
One Tory MP told MailOnline they believed the change could provide a boost and strengthen the UK amid the ongoing strain caused by the Northern Ireland Protocol.
They said: 'The United Kingdom is stronger because it has the link with Northern Ireland because if you say Great Britain you are excluding Northern Ireland.
'I can see the logic of having United Kingdom because it strengthens our ties with Northern Ireland.
'I think it strengthen the ties at a time when we have got a problem.'
The decision to change the sticker comes almost two years after the Government said all UK-registered cars, including those in Northern Ireland, would have to display a GB sticker when travelling to the Republic of Ireland or any EU country after Brexit.
Similar advice had been in place before Brexit but the rules were rarely enforced. Britain's split from Brussels prompted ministers to tighten the guidance to avoid travellers facing potential problems.
The new number plate rules are due to come into force on September 28 this year.
One numberplate supplier has warned it will need four to six months to bring in UK versions.

Southwest Airlines employees created a "whites-only" break room at Houston's Hobby Airport, according to a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former employee who was fired from Southwest in 2017.
In addition to the horrifying throwback break room, Parker claims that the airline treated people differently based on their race. He alleges that he was fired after failing to report an incident involving running over a power cord, while white employees were merely disciplined for similar infractions.
This isn't the first time that the airline has been accused of discrimination. CNN has a good rundown, although it's usually passengers complaining that the flight crew is treating them unjustly.
[We] work relentlessly to foster an environment that is diverse and inclusive. We do not tolerate or condone discrimination of any kind, and we cultivate a workplace that mirrors the customers we serve. [We] welcome the opportunity to emphasize that Southwest is and always has been a company that puts its people first.
A pretrial and scheduling conference is set for January 25 in Houston.
