Q: I can't get text where it should go in react native Hi I'm building an app for IOS and Android with react Native, and I'm a newbie this is my first app, and I think I'm not too bad, but I have a UI that is only a supermarket list, but I have the head ready but I need place the below the image , I made a new View but it comes out in the middle of the screen. Can you explain to me why it is not shown where to go, thanks.
Can you explain to me why? Thanks I share codes
enter image description here
import { Button, Image, StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { StatusBar } from 'expo-status-bar';

export default function App() {

  },
});

the result of this code is
enter image description here

A: You should put your text in the same View that is wrapping your image and then style it appropriately.
<View style={styles.imageContainer}>
    <Image style= {styles.logo} source={require('./assets/logo.png')} />
    <Text style={styles.textNom}>Lista de Supermercado</Text>
</View>

I am not good at styling but it looks like your app should look decent with how the styles are at the current moment.

What a hack: cyber security success for Griffith
Published June 28, 2017 July 6, 2017 AuthorContributed

Griffith University students have proven they can hack it with the country's best in this year's Cyber Security Challenge.
Gold Coast based Bachelor of Computer Science students Lachlan Ashcroft, Lee Goymer, Thomas Csere and Christopher Skorka were the top-ranked first year team in Australia, placing them fourth overall.
The hacking competition is run by an alliance of Australian Government, business and academic professionals and aims to unearth future talent in the cyber-security sphere.
Griffith's Cyber Security Challenge team in action.
The Griffith University team spent the competition's designated 24 hours in an otherwise empty room on campus, surviving on just two hours sleep as they tried to fend off cyber attacks.
"I wouldn't say it was stressful, but it was difficult," said Thomas Csere. "We each played to our strengths on the various challenges."
For team captain Lachlan Ashcroft, it was a chance to gain first-hand experience of a potential career path.
"We all wanted to be involved in this because we feel it's a very interesting topic, especially into the future."
Despite their hard work and sleepless night, their success was still a surprise for the students.
"We weren't sure how we were going compared to other first year teams," said Lee Goymer.
"At the end, when we realised we were at the top, that was a real shock. We were really happy that we did so well."
According the Christopher Skorka, the competition consisted of a number of different tasks that involved a lot of networking and website security.
The team flew to Melbourne for the Cyber Security Challenge Australia awards ceremony on June 28. Their efforts also earned them an all-expenses paid trip to the Ruxcon Security Conference in October.

"The asylum is up on the hill, but the lunatics are all over the State." So remarked James Petigru, an antebellum Unionist, when he heard of South Carolina's plans to secede from the United States. Petigru was obviously referring to insanity in political terms, but he inadvertently made an important point about insanity as a psychiatric condition. In contrast to what one might deduce from standard histories of mental illness in the 19th century, much of the care of the insane occurred not in asylums but in the community.


When you're expecting a child, there are so many health-related things to worry about. For example: How much water should a pregnant woman drink?
Staying hydrated is incredibly important, and it's even more vital when you're carrying a baby. If you're concerned about getting the right amount of H2O when expecting, here's a look at everything you need to know about drinking water while pregnant.
Your body intakes fluid from more than just water. In fact, your body gets about 20% of its needed fluid from food and non-water beverages. For simplicity, this post will focus on the 80% you need to be getting from water alone. That is, this post focuses solely on how much water you need to be drinking.
The average, non-pregnant woman needs about 8 cups of water each day. As you might imagine, you'll need a little bit more when pregnant — 25% more. So, if you're wondering: How much water should I drink while pregnant? The simple answer is 10 cups a day (which is 80 ounces or 2.3 liters).
Keep in mind, though, that different women need different amounts of water, both when pregnant and when not. If you think you need even more than 10 cups of water, look for signs of dehydration.
For example: Is your urine a deeper shade of yellow than usual? The goal is for your urine to be pale and odorless.
Also, don't be confused by swollen ankles and feet. You may think they are signs you're getting too much water, but swelling might actually indicate you're not getting enough. In cases of dehydration, your body may attempt to retain water, which leads to swelling.
Not everyone likes to drink water. Still, it's always important to get your recommended daily intake of water, and even more so while pregnant. So, to help ensure you're getting the water you need, follow these 5 tips.
Find a water bottle that can be your companion throughout pregnancy. There are lots of water bottles for pregnant women, including the 45-ounce Hydration Water Bottle pictured here.
These water bottles include time marks to help you stay on track during the day. Just keep on track (refilling once in the middle of the day), and you'll be on track to drink the water you need.
It seems like a really small thing, but securing an inexpensive tool like a water bottle designed specifically for pregnant women can deliver incredible value while you wait for the big day.
Never wait until your thirsty to drink water. If you get thirsty, you're already starting to get dehydrated, and you may begin to experience dehydration-related side effects (like constipation).
This is another benefit of getting a water bottle that helps you stay on track. Water bottles for pregnant women keep you on a schedule that should help prevent thirstiness and dehydration.
As noted above, the body actually gets about 20% of its needed fluids through food and non-water beverages. So try to up that number by eating as many hydrating foods as possible.
What types of foods help with hydration? Try apples, oranges, spinach and other fresh produce. If you find that you're craving a hydrating food, even better.
It's tempting to pour yourself a glass of ice water, especially if you're pregnant in the depths of summer. But room temperature water is actually better for pregnant women.
In general, stick to drinks between 50 degrees and body temperature (which is around 98.6 degrees). Drinking any beverage that is above or below this range can shock your system, make your feel nauseated and prevent you from drinking the amount you need each day.
It's easy to get dehydrated overnight. So, to prevent nighttime dehydration, make it a point to drink some water right before bedtime.
No one wants to spend all night getting up to use the restroom, but the benefits of staying hydrated during pregnancy (more on this below) are well worth a trip or two to the bathroom overnight.
There are many benefits to drinking water while pregnant. Some of those benefits are for the mother, and some are for the child the mother is carrying.
For the mother, drinking water help prevent common pregnancy side effects like hemorrhoids, bladder infections and constipation.
For the child, the mother's water consumption helps deliver important nutrients, vitamins, minerals and hormones to the fetus.
Yes, drinking even more water than non-pregnant women are supposed to drink can seem like a real pain. But the many benefits are incredibly important to the health of both mother and baby.
First, drink even more during the third trimester. During this last portion of pregnancy, dehydration is an even greater threat because it can trigger contractions.
And, second, consider adding a little citrus to your water. Simply adding a slice of lemon or lime can make your water more interesting, and make it more likely that you drink the recommended 10 cups each day.
Do you have any other tips for drinking water while pregnant? If so, let us know via our contact page or by using the comments section below.

Justice Jackson says she has 'a seat at the table' – NewsNation
'Complicated and complex recovery' lies ahead for Southwest Florida, FEMA administrator says
WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said Friday she has "a seat at the table now and I'm ready to work," leaning into her history-making role as the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.
Jackson spoke at the Library of Congress several hours after she made her first appearance on the Supreme Court bench in a brief ceremony that was attended by President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and their spouses.
"People from all walks of life approach me with what I can only describe as a profound sense of pride and what feels to me like renewed ownership. I can see it in their eyes. I can hear it in their voices. They stare at me as if to say, 'Look at what we've done,'" Jackson said in remarks that lasted 10 minutes and were frequently interrupted by applause from the invitation-only crowd. The video was livestreamed by the Library of Congress.
"They're saying to me in essence, 'You go, girl,"' the 52-year-old justice said.
She said she hopes to be an inspiration to today's children and pledged to work hard through inevitable ups and downs.
"I have a seat at the table now. I have a seat at the table now and I'm ready to work," Jackson said.
Earlier, she was the center of attention at her ceremonial investiture at the Supreme Court, also open only to those with invitations.
Chief Justice John Roberts wished the 52-year-old Jackson a "long and happy career in our common calling," the traditional welcome for a new justice.
She took her place at the far end of the bench to Roberts' left, just next to Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The justices are seated by seniority.
During the ceremony Jackson also followed the custom of every other new justice since 1972 and sat in a chair that once belonged to John Marshall, who served as chief justice for 34 years in the early 1800s.
Marshall also was a slaveholder, perhaps adding a special poignancy to Jackson taking her place in his onetime possession. She is only the third Black justice in the court's history, along with her new colleague Justice Clarence Thomas and the late Justice Thurgood Marshall.
Friday's ceremony included the reading of the commission appointing Jackson to the court. She also repeated the oath she took when she formally joined the court in June, just after the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer.
Breyer was among a courtroom filled with dignitaries, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Speaker Paul Ryan, a Jackson relative through marriage. Jackson's parents, daughters, brother and in-laws had front-row seats.
Several wives of current and former justices also attended, including Virginia "Ginni" Thomas. Thomas, a conservative activist, was interviewed Thursday by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection and stood by the false claim that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
Jackson was confirmed in April on a 53-47 vote in the Senate, with three Republican senators joining all Democrats to support her.
Biden had pledged during his presidential campaign that he would nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court.
Biden, Harris, first lady Jill Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff spent a few minutes with the justices before the court convened, court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said.
The president said nothing during the five-minute, tightly scripted courtroom ceremony.
Back at the White House, Biden tweeted in praise of Jackson's "brilliant legal mind" and touted his record on filling judgeships.
"In fact, we've appointed 84 federal judges so far. No group of that many judges has been appointed as quickly, or been that diverse," Biden said.
Jackson and Roberts walked down the 36 front steps of the court for photos following the ceremony. They chatted briefly on the court plaza, and when Roberts departed, the justice's husband, Dr. Patrick Jackson, joined her.
"I'm so proud of you," Dr. Jackson said, as they embraced in front of a gathering of reporters and well-wishers.
Jackson is the first justice appointed by a Democratic president since Justice Elena Kagan joined the court in 2010. Kagan was appointed by former President Barack Obama, who also appointed Justice Sonia Sotomayor in 2009.
It appeared Obama would get a third high court pick when Justice Antonin Scalia died in February 2016. But Senate Republicans refused to take up Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland, then serving as a federal appeals court judge. Garland, now Attorney General, also participated in Friday's ceremony.
Former President Donald Trump eventually chose Justice Neil Gorsuch, the first of his three Supreme Court appointees, to fill Scalia's seat.

02/febr/2010 Analistul Vl. Socor revine asupra contractului de armament dintre Franţa şi Rusia – dosarul "Mistral"
The Jamestown Foundation, 26 ianuarie a.c.
PARIS S'EXCUSE: FRENCH OFFICIALS TRY RATIONALIZING NAVAL REARMAMENT OF RUSSIA
(partea I-a)
Vladimir Socor
The approval process for boosting Russian naval power is moving forward in the French government. Paris and Moscow are negotiating the sale of one French-built Mistral-class warship to Russia, to be followed by construction of three or four such ships in Russia under French license (Interfax, January 15; RIA Novosti, January 22).
These intentions amount to a program of naval rearmament for Russia, an openly revisionist power in Europe and on its periphery. Mistral-class ships constitute by definition a power-projection capability, carrying tanks and helicopters for offensive landing operations, with an intimidating potential in Russian hands vis-à-vis maritime neighbors. NATO member and partner countries in the Baltic and Black Seas are concerned about the possible appearance of Mistral-class ships in the respective Russian fleets, if the French sale goes ahead.
France's Inter-ministerial Commission for the Study of War Material Exports (French acronym CIEEMG), has now cleared the deal with Russia in a report to the French government. At the next higher level, the General Secretariat for National Defense and Security (SGDSN) is preparing its report on this issue for President Nicolas Sarkozy (Le Monde, January 26).
Representatives of French authorities at various levels are invoking justifications that range from the politically expedient to the crassly commercial; adding an ingredient of historical nostalgia for the Franco-Russian entente on the part of Prime Minister Francois Fillon, who actively promotes the Mistral deal.
According to two prominent French analysts receptive to government views, the Mistral deal is in line with "French diplomatic tradition…which holds that engaging Russia is better than isolating it." Paris ought to address Russian complaints about the lack of Western technology transfers to Russia since the end of the cold war; and the Mistral deal could elicit Russian cooperation on larger strategic issues. The Sarkozy presidency regards the Russians "more as partners, albeit difficult ones. This more global vision does not [see] Georgia or Ukraine as a top priority" (Eurasianet, January 21).
By such French logic, withholding arms sales would be tantamount to isolating Russia, or undermining the credibility of political overtures to Moscow. Further by such French logic, Russia's "difficult" behavior vis-à-vis the West would justify Western concessions to Moscow, at the expense of Russia's neighbors in this case. And conversely, Russian cooperative behavior would have to be rewarded with arms transfers. Such official arguments need not be taken at face value, however. They purport to invoke overall Western interests in justifying a purely bilateral Franco-Russian transaction.
French government officials say off the record that no ultra-sophisticated electronics would be transferred to Russia in a Mistral transaction. By the same token, Russian officials anticipate having to buy some of the more advanced communications equipment from other suppliers. Withholding the state-of-the art French electronics, however, would not significantly diminish the Mistrals' potential to overturn the naval power balance, if deployed with Russia's Baltic or Black Sea fleets.
Aware of those implications, some senior officials speaking on the background at the Quai d'Orsay would prefer that Russia quietly renounce the Mistral deal: "this would be an ideal solution." This could even help Minister of Foreign Affairs Bernard Kouchner out of his dilemma. The global humanitarian physician regards the Mistral affair as a "choice between consciousness and realism." President Sarkozy and other political figures, however, are also concerned to rescue the crisis-hit French shipyards. According to management at the STX shipyard in St. Nazaire (the former Chantiers de l'Atlantique, now partly state-owned), the sale of just one Mistral-class ship would save "approximately one thousand jobs for two years." One more ship (the third overall) of this class is due for delivery to the French navy by June 2011, whereupon the shipyard has no further orders (Le Monde, January 26).
That logic implies that arms sales to Russia could be justified as an anti-crisis measure and employment-generating program by a NATO member country. It also seems to imply an open-ended policy extending well beyond 2011 and with potential spinoffs, if a Mistral contract with Russia is signed. This could create a precedent for other bilateral deals between individual NATO countries and Russia, with corrosive effects on Alliance policies.
The financing of the Mistral deal is not being discussed publicly, although it must form a subject of Franco-Russian discussions. One ship of this class in a "naked" state costs an estimated $600 million to build in France. Given Russia's current financial situation, it would hardly be surprising if French banks are enlisted to finance Russia's purchase of the Mistral, under credit guarantees from the French government.

Huawei introduced a revised version of the Huawei Watch 2 last week, with one notable change to last year's model,it's adopting eSIM, a still budding technology that takes up less space than regular SIM cards. So far, we know that it can be purchased in China through e-commerce platform Vmall but quite possibly not anywhere else in the world, as GSM-Arena spotted. The new Huawei Watch 2 seems to be identical to last year's watch, aside from the addition of an eSIM to replace nanoSIM support, which is a significant change. With eSIM, which replaces the plastic SIM card with a smaller, electronic one, the watch can share the same phone number as your mobile device, making it more convenient.Given that the eSIM is much smaller than nanoSIM, it's better suited for smartwatches.The Apple Watch 3 uses eSIM, as does Samsung's Gear S2 and S3.
You can still get a nanoSIM-supported Huawei Watch 2 or a Bluetooth-only model. Besides the new SIM technology, the 2018 version of the Huawei Watch 2 is going to have the same exact design as last year's Watch 2: a 1.2-inch 390 x 390 AMOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass and powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 processor. It has 768 MB of RAM and 4GB of ROM. It's got a waterproof rating of IP68, meaning the watch can withstand submersion for up to 98 feet. It seems that the company is saving any spec upgrades for a Watch 3, whenever that will arrive. The Watch 2 with eSIM costs $310, which is about the same as last year's. It comes in black or orange. The Bluetooth version goes for a cheaper $240 (1,540 CNY) and is available in gray or black.

The Wolfpack, and pop culture's running fascination with lost children
Filed In Pop Culture
Crystal Moselle's new documentary The Wolfpack takes its name from one of the most persistently popular jokes in The Hangover, in which Zach Galifianakis affirms his fraternal love for his bachelor party buddies. The Hangover is one of the many films available to the Angulo brothers, the subjects of The Wolfpack, and one of the most unusual families ever committed to celluloid.
With Sanskrit names and uniformly shoulder-length black hair, the Angulo brothers lived on the fringes of society. After carefully ingratiating herself with the family, Moselle gained rare, privileged access to the insular Angulo residence and discovered that the children were living just short of captive lives, leaving the apartment a handful of times each year, or once, or not at all.
Under the tyrannical rule of an anti-establishment father, the five brothers had been effectively removed from civilization through their formative years. Instead, they related to the outside world, and one another, through obsessive viewings of their extensive DVD collection, eventually going on to recreate scenes from their favorites. # In The Wolfpack, a universal process takes place with shocking directness as the boys study the pop-culture canon and, in the simplest possible terms, learn to be people.
Moselle straddles a difficult line with her new documentary, reconciling the boys' inherent humanity with the undeniably alien circumstances of their upbringing, but this narrative centering on children sequestered from the reaches of culture was not born with The Wolfpack. In various forms, fiction has explored the hypothetical disconnect between unadulterated human nature and the shaping effects of other people, media, life, all that stuff making up the outside world — this narrative can be contoured to work as a thought experiment, an allegory about human nature, or a depiction of personal strength and resilience — but in all instances, the core critical thrust speculates on the factors that distinguish 'humans' from 'people'.
In the most extreme examples, the lost-child narrative confers a completely bestial nature unto the isolated subject. In the 1994 Jodie Foster vehicle Nell, the actress plays a so-called 'feral girl' who speaks in a sputtering non-language and become violent at the slightest provocation. # She's more animal than girl, falling back on her basest impulses in the absence of polite society's influence. This process doesn't have to breed savagery, though; The Jungle Book's Mowgli went through a similar experience away from the reach of humanity, and turned out to be a pretty mellow dude. (Though some of that might just be owed to the children's-film milieu.)
But the richer examples of this narrative phenomenon illuminate greater truths about the human tendency to accept the reality with which we're presented.
The boys of the The Wolfpack are woefully unstimulated by their provincial, dull day-to-day in the walls of their Lower East Side apartment, and so they recast reality in a more engaging image. They come as close to fusing their own lives with the idealized lives they see onscreen as humanly possible, sometimes even losing themselves in their bizarre rituals. In a memorable scene, the boys turn out all the lights, dawn eerie homemade slasher-flick icon masks, and start a small bonfire inside of their apartment, as if they're making some kind of sacrifice to the malevolent gods of cinema. The audience witnesses the fringe of human behavior in the private, surreal ceremony, and fearfully recognizes those latent impulses in themselves. The implied thought is that with the right combination of external deprivations, anyone could end up dressed like Freddy Krueger, committing minor arson in his own residence.
In Yorgos Lanthimos' 2010 masterpiece Dogtooth, a similarly iron-fisted father holds his family hostage, but to more allegorical ends. As a proud Greek all too familiar with political turmoil, Lanthimos imagines the father as a dictatorial figure, exerting hushed, absolute control over his household in the same way that a despot warps the interior reality of a nation to suit his own purposes. He creates enemies from shadow and smoke, informing his children that a stray cat wandering in the garden poses a lethal threat to their well-being.
Language persists as a crucial element; here, the father deliberately informs his family that words have other meanings (chairs are referred to as 'sea') to keep their brains malleable, and under his sway. Constructs we take for granted break down, starting with the linguistic, but progressing to the sexual in short order. When the link to the outside world is severed, the party in control can manipulate even the most basic aspects of perception. It's not brainwashing, because there's nothing to wash away. It's brain-scripting, the creation of a manufactured status quo. Both this film and The Wolfpack see the fearsome potential in a totality of power, envisioning a nightmare scenario that barely registers as such to the people in it. Like the adult children of Dogtooth, the Angulo brothers live at their father's mercy. He owns their lives.
As you read this, director Lenny Abrahamson is currently in the process of adapting Emma Donoghue's popular novel Room for the screen, shooting for a release later this year. The book became something of a phenomenon as it climbed the best-seller charts, its combination of lurid, potboiler thrills with epistemological philosophizing resonating with casual book-clubbers and highbrow types alike.
In the first half, a young woman and her five-year-old son Jack engineer a daring escape from a dank basement enclosure in which they've been held captive for years. Things get interesting when she and her son attempt to reintegrate into the public; she wrestles with the lingering trauma of her imprisonment, but the boy's got no idea how to function in a world that treats him as an extraterrestrial. He has no way to parse out what is or is not normal, with no experience to draw from. Continuing to drink his mother's breastmilk at age five turns out to be a no-no, but he has even more difficulty meeting new people and understanding the myriad contradictions inherent to having manners. (It takes him a while to get the hang of the concept of white lies.) He approaches politeness, government, religion, family, and a host of other institutions from a depersonalized perspective, taking everything completely at face value.
By considering things in the simplest possible terms, young Jack exposes the absurdities that many "right-minded" citizens take for granted. Hearing the antithetical concept of "hurt" spelled out and explained underscores the perverse nature of violence more effectively than any grand monologue possibly could. Ultimately, The Wolfpack explores a similar phenomenon, though on a less sweeping scale. Moselle and the Angulos don't address topics as universal as pain or identity, but they go through the same process with regards to the movies. They see Pulp Fiction through pristine eyes, and as such, theirs is a completely different experience.
The leering eyes of humankind have always been attracted to oddities, but fiction's lost children present a unique allure. The boys of The Wolfpack travel a deviating path the viewer hasn't had the luxury to take, shrugging off the influential parts of modern existence to live in a way that might outwardly seem more "pure", less "diluted" by culture. They're a control group, designed to answer the question of how the human soul survives in a vacuum. The aforementioned stories pose more philosophical quandaries than they resolve, however. If there's a single prevailing message to be found, it's this: Life is no more than the set of terms on which we've all agreed.

Q: implement embedding comments like twitter in angularjs i know in Angular world it is better to bind data than manipulate dom elements. but i can't figure out a way to implement the 'in timeline, click a tweet, load replies, click another tweet load another replies' effects.
here is some code run into my thoughts:

{{tweet}}

    load reply

{{reply}}

if i write controller like this
app.controller('Test', function($scope){
    $scope.tweets = ["foo", "bar"];
    $scope.loadreplay = function(){
        $scope.reply = "reply";
    }
});

then all {{reply}} fields will be filled with 'reply', so in this condition, is manipulate the dom elements the only resolution? or some more "angular" way?

A: Use a appropriate schema for your data/model. Considering that you would store not only the text but at least something like a ID you would use an object anyway. So think about something like this:
$scope.tweets = [
  { id:1, txt: 'foo' },
  { id:2, txt: 'bar' }
]

Then you could store the individual replies in that object as well:
$scope.loadreply = function(tweet) {
  tweet.reply = 'Reply';
}

Note: In this function you could then also use the ID to e.g. fetch the tweets from the server like this:
$scope.loadreply = function(tweet) {
  tweet.reply = LoadReplies(tweet.id);
}

You would then use the tweet specific reply attribute for display:

{{tweet.txt}}

  load reply

{{tweet.reply}}

This happens only in the Yukon, Canada! Gurdeep Pandher and "Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous Air North Can Can Line" created a breathtaking fusion of two famous dancing forms "Punjabi Bhangra" and "Can Can Dance". The video also aims to bring the cultures of the world together.
Originated in France, the can-can (or cancan as in the original French) is a high-energy, physically demanding dance that became a popular music hall dance in the 1840s, continuing in popularity in French cabaret to this day. Originated in Punjab (or Panjab before the British-India era) as the folk-dance of Punjab, Bhangra also is a high-energy and physically demanding dance, which was originally developed by Sikh-Punjabi farmers. Bhangra nowadays is a popular dance form in the Punjabi and Bollywood music-movies scene, parties and Sikh cultural or wedding celebrations.
A Collaboration between Gurdeep Pandher and Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous Air North Can Can Line.


Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has come and gone, but some people may have been off-the-grid for a time. A missionary had been on a Latter Day Saints mission, where she had not only missed seeing the debut of Star Wars: The Force Awakens but also Rogue One. Facebook poster Stephen Smoot took great glory in posting his friend's reaction to the ending of the Lucasfilm prequel movie.
Smoot shared that Mormon missionaries aren't allowed to watch such things while they're out serving, and when she finally came back, she was pleasantly surprised. One would imagine after having been deprived of such things for so long that her appreciation for this piece of Lucasfilm magic would be amplified, and indeed it was.
Apparently, she's a serious Star Wars fan, and from her reaction and hand gestures, you could evidently see she was making a connection between that movie and 1977's A New Hope. This connection really tickles the nostalgia bone for those who were old enough to see the flick. Smoot had shared it across YouTube and Facebook, as well as on Reddit.
Later on, EverythingFunny 1's YouTube channel edited it to do a screen-on-screen of the movie's ending as a thumbnail in the lower right-hand corner. This put things in sync to the viewer and provides a better perspective on what she was reacting to.
As you can see, she's wiping away the tears just after the beach side scene with Jyn and Cassian in a final embrace. This was after the test of the Death Star station. Finally, enter Darth Vader and his entourage toward the Rebel ship.
So far, the screen-on-screen version has reached over 1 million views.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story obviously impressed the subject of this viral video and has probably reinforced the fandom even further. The spirit of this personally collaborated franchise indeed proves that Lucasfilm is having an impact on the community. Other anthology films are moving forward as the continuing saga of final trilogy saunters forth in an effort to give closure to all nine films.
How did you feel when Darth Vader made his entrance while illuminating the darkened hall of the Rebel ship, with his breathing proceeding the onslaught?


Don't drive abroad unprepared - read our advice on travel insurance, european breakdown cover, accidents and driving conditions abroad.
Familiarise yourself with the driving laws of the country you are visiting – including local speed limits and which side of the road they drive on!
You should be aware that provisional licences are a national document issued within the framework of driver training and do not entitle the holder to drive outside the territory of the issuing member state.
Check with your insurance company that you're fully covered to drive abroad including breakdown recovery and any medical expenses resulting from an accident.
Check whether you need a Green Card for the country you're visiting – this provides minimum insurance.
Check whether you need an International Driving Permit.
Service your vehicle before leaving the UK.
Check you can comply with the vehicle requirements of the countries you'll visit.
Check your safety equipment, bulbs, jackets, warning trianagles etc. Many are required abroad by law.
The regulations of what you need to carry with you in your vehicle when you're abroad can differ very much from the UK. One example is your proof of vehicle ownership (V5 log book). In the UK, you are advised not to carry this in your vehicle, however in many European countries if you don't then you could be subject to a fine.
Drive defensively and expect the unexpected – the local driving style may be different to that of the UK.
Don't drive when you're tired and take regular breaks on long journeys.
Always wear a seat belt and make sure other passengers do too.
Don't drink and drive – the alcohol limit may be lower than in the UK and in some countries there is zero tolerance for drink driving.
Don't use your mobile whilst driving.
Don't overload your vehicle and ensure you can see out of the back window.
If you're involved in an accident, contact your European Breakdown Cover immediately and take photographs of damage to your vehicle.
You should have a GB sticker clearly visible on the back of your car if your number plate doesn't include this information. You'll also need headlamp converters if you're driving on the right-hand side of the road.
Make sure your travel insurance covers you before you decide to drive or be a passenger on a motorbike - check the exclusions carefully. Our recent research shows that a quarter of young travellers admit to driving or being the passenger of a moped or quad bike without checking if their insurance covers them first!
Always wear a helmet and protective clothing, whether you're the driver or a passenger.
There should never be more than two people on a bike.
Never ride the bike when you have been drinking alcohol.

Francisella asiatica as the causative agent of piscine francisellosis in cultured tilapia (oreochromis sp.) in the united states
Esteban Soto Martinez, Wes Baumgartner, Judy Wiles, John P. Hawke
Francisella asiatica is a Gram-negative, pleomorphic, facultative intracellular, bacterial pathogen that causes acute to chronic disease in a wide variety of warm-water cultured and wild fish species. Outbreaks of francisellosis in warm water fish have been documented in Taiwan, Japan, United Kingdom, Hawaii, and Latin America (including Costa Rica) but the organism has only been reported from the United States on one occasion from hybrid striped bass in California. In 2010, the bacterium was detected from diseased tilapia by culture on cystine heart agar supplemented with hemoglobin and by utilizing an F. asiatica-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction assay. The tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were cultured in an indoor, closed, recirculating aquaculture facility in the Midwest of the United States. The identity of isolates recovered from diseased fish was confirmed as F. asiatica by amplification and sequence comparison of the 16S ribosomal RNA and intracellular growth locus C (iglC) gene. Gross and microscopic examination of affected tissues revealed the presence of marked anterior renomegaly and splenomegaly with severe granulomatous disease.

Nice ambient start to this track. Loving the new direction. I appreciate your creativity and your resourcefulness/experimentation here. HAs some Zappa chords, I think! Nice finale as well!
harmonies really work for me on this one. chill track, scott.
Good piano track, Scott. Vocals sound nice, especially the harmonies. I like the pacing of the track as well. Easy does it, slow build.
It's a high quality production. I get the feeling that this is only the first of a set along these lines?
I actually feel as if you could do well to have a shred section where you just go crazy with he guitar, like in the outro.
This one is good, too. I like the keyboard added. It sounds different from a lot of your other ones.
Nice change of pace from what you've been producing lately!
Sort of your "Civil War", or "Every Rose Has It's Thorn"! -- very tender tune.
This track is actually older than all the recent ones I have posted - I recorded it last December, as I was starting to think about my new album and dealing with some heavy personal stuff. I'm really glad you like it.


Do you ever feel spaced-out before you take a test? Yes or no, let's go!
It's possible for a spacecraft to fly from Earth to Venus, to Mars, back to Earth, then to Saturn, out to Pluto, back to Jupiter, and come home to Earth on one tank of fuel.
The sling-shot effect, also known as a swing-by or gravity assist, is used to accelerate a spacecraft. Acceleration means to change the speed and/or the direction of a moving body. A spacecraft that is speeding up, slowing down, or following a curved path is accelerating.
Gravity accelerates objects everywhere in the Universe. When you ride your bike up a hill it takes a lot of effort to make it to the top because the Earth is massive compared to you, and gravity pulls you toward its center. When you coast down the other side, gravity is your friend!
Spacecraft can use the gravity of a planet to accelerate. Picture a spacecraft falling toward a planet. The spacecraft will crash unless it steers away.
All bodies in space, no matter how big or small, exert gravity on each other. Planets stay in orbit around the sun because of gravity. A planet is also affected by the tiny mass of a spacecraft. Gravity assist was used to increase the speed of Voyager 1 by 36,000 mph on its swing by Jupiter, which sling shot it to Saturn. And Jupiter slowed down infinitesimally, at a rate of 12 inches per one trillion years.

Q: take images from a cell , into next view controller i asked this question yesterday but it doesnt seem to have asked properly so im trying again
in my app im parsing in an xml file , in that file there is a path for an image to download
an in my tableview controler i have this to download the image and display it in the cell
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:aStory.picture];
 NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
 UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:data];

im then pushing another view controller on the top and displaying some text in a text view , but i also want to take the image from the cell selected and put that in there too , but everything i try does not work.
any ideas on how i can do this
Thanks in advance
Richard

A: You need to create a property in the target ViewController to hold the image
UIImage *myDownloadedImage;
}

@property (nonatomic, assign) UIImage *myDownloadedImage;

and then when you are about to push you add the image to the controller
myNextViewController.myDownloadedImage = img;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:myNextViewController animated:YES];

Now you have access to the image to do as you wish

Q: Android - Correct way to move layouts/ImageViews first of all apologize for my English. I'm starting to develop games using android and I've done one like a test for a friends wedding (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vicgames.polaravalanche).
Testing it on different devices, what I see is that:

*

*In the Samsung Galaxy and Neo N003 (I guess it happens with more devices, no matter the version of android), when sharks are launched from the tornado, they are not visibles (but they hit the player)

*The Nexus 5 (with which I have done most of the testing) works as I want.

*For other devices, launching sharks usually go faster than Nexus 5 but works well

Take the example with the launching sharks, but basically the question is focused in general to move any layout / Imageview.
I put a sample code as I have done, although I've tried different ways:

*

*tiburon.animate().translationX(x).translationY(y).setInterpolator(new LinearInterpolator()).setDuration(velocidadTiburon)

*Final ObjectAnimator animX = ObjectAnimator.ofFloat (shark, "translationX", x);

*Also with the same ObjectAnimator but with "x" instead of translationX and Y.

*I also tried with TranslateAnimation with calculated values or relative.

*I also tried with layoutParams.leftMargin.

*I also tried directly setX and setY.

But I think that is not the correct way, because depending on if I use one or the other, It do not work equally on all devices. Maybe the problem is not the way as I do, maybe is how I calculate the positions (pixels, dps), but again I tried different ways, but still varies between devices.
Maybe I have no need to move the layouts / imagevies directly like the backgrounds in this game, with a synchronized (surfaceHolder) and painting in the canvas. But I wonder you have to do so, because for something so simple, I think if they move directly layout / Imageview, should be the same for any device.
I also wonder if the problem will be for the duration of the movements/animations, maybe I  need to put it differently depending on the size of the device.
Thanks and regards

A: I answer my question, because I have found the cause. When I had rooted the phone, I had modified some development options in the Nexus 5, to make it all "faster". I had changed the options from 1x to 1.5x, so the performance was different:

*

*Windows animation scale.

*Transition animation scale.

*Animator duration scale.

Kind regards.
