Gauntlet rink reviews: Banff Trail
Fabian Mayer
Gauntlet Sports
This week marks the final Gauntlet rink review. Hopefully spring will arrive soon and reviewing outdoor rinks will become impossible.
The rinks are reviewed according to four categories: quality of ice, amenities, clientele and overall experience.
Each outdoor rink will be given a score out of five Gauntlet pucks — five out of five being worthy of a Molson Canadian commercial and zero out of five is basically a pile of snow outside of a curling club.
Banff Trail Rink
Location: 2115 20 Ave NW, behind the Banff Trail Community Centre across from Branton Jr. High School.
Quality of ice: three out of five
The ice at Banff Trail's community rink has held up fairly well considering the warm and sunny weather Calgary has seen this winter. One end had quite a few ruts and there were some bumps and divots throughout, sometimes causing pucks to bounce. That being said, there were no bare patches and overall the ice was pretty good.
Amenities: four out of five
There were several features that gave this rink an old-school feel that provided for a unique atmosphere. The boards were made of white wooden planks, now blackened with puck marks. The rink also had older-style square nets. There was a fence surrounding three quarters of the ice surface, one wooden bench and plenty of shovels — I counted nine. The rink's lights shut off at 10 p.m. each night when it closes.
Clientele: two out of five
Aside from a volunteer dutifully clearing snow, I was the only person there to enjoy the sunny Saturday morning.
The rink is reserved for Banff Trail Community Association members Monday to Friday from 2–4 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. and Sunday from 12–3 p.m.
Overall experience: three out of five
The Banff Trail Community Association has a great feel, decent ice and excellent amenities. While having the whole rink to oneself can be nice, it did take something away from the community ambiance one expects at an outdoor rink.
The ice was good in the morning but was starting to deteriorate a little in the early afternoon. If one is looking to go for a skate, it's best to go in the morning, evening or on a cold day.
Rink Review


Hi, I just install my new coralife super skimmer (65g model) and I do have fellow the instruction, but getting no result. Is it possible that I have to wait for the pump to be broken in?
Seems for me that the coralife is not skimming properly.
If some1 have ever experience this skimmer please if u can help it will be appreciate.
It will take some time for the skimmer to break in...what that really means is the oils on the plastic pcs. need to be cleaned off. Give it a week before you will see much production. Once the bio-film starts collecting on the equipment and the manufacturing oils dissipate it will skim.
Ty! I was feeling like it was a waste of money, but this morning I really saw the difference from yesterday, its really start skimming.
They aren't the greatest skimmers but they will work fine if you keep them clean. The 65 Gallon model would probably do OK on a 30 gallon tank. Remember to keep it clean and it will be OK.
seriously, it is crap, it didn't skin at all. Some foam get in the cone but no foam get in the cup lol, the foam isnt constant at all.
The only time foam get in the cup is when I raise the water level, so it push the foam aleardy in the cone in the cup. I can get a few wet skimming but thats all..
Give it another week...they aren't the greatest skimmers but they will work.
I have a Coralife 125 that serves me well but they can be a bit finicky. The adjustment dial isn't precise enough IMO and you have to tweak it to find just the right bubble height in the neck. It has to be adjusted every once in a while as well to compensate for varying tank water levels and grunge build up in the neck.
As stated, it may just take some time. Perhaps there isn't that much dissolved organic material to remove from the tank yet.
Tx for the reply Dale, ill try to be more patient. Maybe it works well but, as I said I'm new with skimmer so..maybe I do over estimate the works of a skimmer. Well, ill give u some news by the next week.
Hey dale, my skimmer is working great now! Told ya ill let u some news, Now look at a couple of day of skimming. U guys were right about the break in period. Date is not set on the cam btw.


Twice a year my publisher sends me a royalty check. It's always exciting, like getting a scratch-off lottery ticket that's guaranteed to win. You just don't know how much is waiting for you. It can vary by thousands of dollars from statement to statement, so I have no idea how much I'm going to get each time. I'm just glad I've been able to eek out a bit of a living from my writing and I never cease to be amazed by it. As a freelancer, I consider these checks to be like my Christmas bonus.
I am really grateful that my book Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir continues to sell even four and a half years after its initial publication. I watch what I spend my money on rather carefully, so it's humbling to know someone (or multiple someones) decided my writing was worth their cash. If you've ever bought a copy of the book, thank you! I truly appreciate it. It does directly affect me and my ability to do things like fly home for Thanksgiving, so thank you, thank you, thank you! I will mention you when I'm giving thanks on that fourth Thursday of November.
Since I know you'll ask, Chocolate & Vicodin is still selling too, but I'm still in the process of earning out my advance for that one, partly because I got a bigger advance for my second book. And I was able to get that bigger advance because my first book has done well, so thank you again!
Earlier: Other people's mail. Other people's lives.
Yaay, congrats! And I thoroughly enjoyed reading both your books.
I would like to think that I have a bit to play in the Chocolate & Vicodin success! i have post-herpetic neuralgia that has led o chronic pain + migraines and when I read your book IT SPOKE TO ME! And subsequently, all my friends purchased the book to get a better understanding of what I am going through! I am sure I am not the only one with that story!
@dana – Thanks! I really do appreciate it.
Thank YOU for writing half assed. I loved it and identified with you on so many levels. I found this blog through the book, I only wish I had read your book earlier so that I could have followed along as you blogged on your earlier site!

It's Complicated in Twelfth Doctor Comic Finale
By Stephanie Mlot 09.23.2017 :: 1:45PM EST 09.23.2017
I have faith in the Doctor (via Titan Comics)
'Doctor Who' S12, E3: Team TARDIS Stumble Over Clumsy Moral Lessons
Ice Warriors, the Flood, an immensely powerful and evil sentient force at least as old as the universe, oh my!
The Twelfth Doctor and Bill Potts successfully united a group of Vikings and Ice Warriors in the fight against a greater threat—the disease-carrying Flood.
But who (or what) is responsible for the viral outbreak (and the subsequent deaths of Halfdan, Asmund, Wulfstan, and Badric)? The Doctor has a hunch.
Stranded in the ninth century, somewhere off the North Atlantic Ocean, the Time Lord must find a way to once again defeat Fenric—"an evil from the dawn of time."
"Melodramatic, I know, but true," the Doctor explains. "Thing is, I already faced this evil. A long time ago. In the future."
At Maiden's Point in 1943, to be exact: Imprisoned 17 centuries earlier in a Chinese flask after losing a game of chess to the Doctor, Fenric is unintentionally released to wreak havoc.
"He wanted to poison the seas with a chemical slime that would eventually destroy the entire planet," the Time Lord said, reminiscing about his former incarnation.
The final chapter of "The Wolves of Winter" is on sale now (via Titan Comics)
Based on Fenrir, a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology, the Great Old One is seemingly killed in Seventh Doctor serial "The Curse of Fenric." Yet, here he is, playing the Doctor once again.
This disjointed finale of Richard Dinnick's "The Wolves of Winter" adventure is harder to follow than its predecessors.
The panels jump from one character to another, handily omitting plot points (how did Bill escape the "Creature from the Blue Lagoon" and return to the TARDIS?) and leaving the reader struggling to keep up.
And am I really supposed to believe the Doctor is so convincing as to so easily persuade one of Fenric's allies to turn against him so easily?
At least there is a happy ending: Bill ultimately gets to see a polar bear (Ursus maritimus)—just like the one Henry III kept at the Tower of London.
The final chapter of "The Wolves of Winter" trilogy—featuring art by Brian Williamson, Marcelo Salaza, and Edu Menna—is on sale now for $3.99.

Die Leserlichkeit ist ein Maß für die Lesegeschwindigkeit von Text. Ein Text mit einer guten Leserlichkeit lässt sich schneller lesen als ein Text mit geringer Leserlichkeit. Die Leserlichkeit hängt mit der Gestaltung von Buchstaben, Zeilen und Fläche direkt zusammen (Typografie) und ist eine Dimension im Rahmen der Lesbarkeit eines Textes.

Einflussfaktoren
Die Leserlichkeit wird durch mehr Faktoren bestimmt als durch die reine Gestaltung der Zeichen. Das Maß für die Erkennung "einzelner" Zeichen ist die Erkennbarkeit. Zur Leserlichkeit tragen aber Faktoren rund um das Zeichen bis hin zur Gestaltung der gesamten Fläche bei (siehe Makrotypografie).

Wichtige Faktoren für die Leserlichkeit sind:
 Schriftart, Auszeichnungsart und Schriftgrad
 Zeilendurchschuss (Zeilenzwischenraum), Satzbreite (Zeilenlänge) und Zeilenfall (Block- oder Flattersatz)
 Materialien wie Farben und Untergrund wie Bildschirm, Papiersorte oder anderes Trägermaterial

Im Unterschied zur Lesbarkeit gehen bei der Leserlichkeit keine inhaltlichen Faktoren wie etwa Textverständnis ein. Zum Beispiel könnte man die Leserlichkeit eines typographischen Entwurfs für eine Buchreihe untersuchen, indem man Passagen aus verschiedenen Büchern in unterschiedlichen Schriftarten gegenüberstellt und die Lesegeschwindigkeit einer Probandengruppe misst.

Serifen
Bei der Auswahl der Schriftarten für ein Dokument kann die bessere Erkennbarkeit ein wichtiger Einflussfaktor sein.

Eine Faustregel für Typografie-Anfänger besagt, dass Schriftarten mit Serifen (Antiqua-Schriften) eine bessere Erkennbarkeit aufweisen als serifenlose (serifenlose Linear-Antiqua bzw. Grotesk-Schriften). Diese Regel trifft jedoch nicht immer zu. Zum Beispiel gibt es speziell für Bildschirmarbeitsplätze entworfene Schriften, die mit Rücksicht auf die niedrige Bildauflösung keine Serifen aufweisen. Auch auf Papier (vgl. Druckwesen) sind Schriftarten mit Serifen nicht immer im Vorteil. Bei der Leserlichkeit schneiden einige Schriftarten ohne Serifen sehr gut ab (zum Beispiel Calibri und Gill Sans), während einige Schmuckschriften mit Serifen gar nicht für einen Fließtext (vgl. Brotschrift) konzipiert sind.

Blocksatz und Flattersatz

Beim Lesen eines Drucktextes wandert das Auge nicht gleichmäßig, sondern in Sprüngen (Sakkaden). Diese erfolgen nicht jeweils von Wort zu Wort, sondern so weit, wie eine Buchstabenfolge auf einmal zu verarbeiten ist.

Die Simulation zeigt ungefähr, wie und wie schnell die einzelnen Augenfixationen aufeinander folgen, wenn keine Rücksprünge für das Textverständnis nötig sind, um eventuelle Lesefehler zu korrigieren. Der unscharfe Text entspricht der peripheren Wahrnehmung. Der Zeilenfall hat Einfluss sowohl auf die Lesbarkeit der einzelnen Wörter, wie auch das Springen auf die nächste Zeile.

Der Blocksatz gewährleistet einen eher ungestörten, flüssigen Lesevorgang. Der besondere Vorteil des Blocksatzes im Mehrspaltensatz bei kurzer Zeilenlänge liegt darin, dass das Auge für den Zeilenwechsel immer dieselbe Bewegung ausführen muss. Ein Nachteil entsteht jedoch, wenn vermehrt Worttrennungen eingesetzt werden müssen.

Der Flattersatz erleichtert das Lesen durch seine gleichbleibenden Wortabstände und weniger Worttrennungen, erschwert es aber durch ungleiche Augenbewegung beim Zeilenwechsel.

Da die Steuerung der Augenbewegungen sich beim Lesen dem Bewusstsein entzieht, hängt die gute Lesbarkeit in erster Linie von den Lesegewohnheiten des Lesers ab.

Mittelachsensatz wie auch rechtsbündiger Flattersatz sind aus diesem Grunde für das flüssige Lesen längerer Texte nicht geeignet, können jedoch für das absichtliche Beeinflussen der Aufmerksamkeit verwendet werden.

This project expands on a current study entitled "Genetic Analysis of Prehistoric Canis Remains from Across the North American Arctic: Implications for Interactions among their Human Companions (ARC-1108175)." Dogs and humans are intimately intertwined in the Arctic, and thus this project is contributing to anthropological and archaeological discussions concerning the movements and cultural interactions of indigenous peoples across the north. Because of large gaps in the human-DNA record, the original proposal not only investigates questions of the divergence of Asian and North American dogs but also investigates the possibility of using dog aDNA as a proxy for human movement in the Arctic. Ancient mitochondrial DNA from pre- and post-1000 AD dogs are compared to DNA from modern Inuit dogs (tested for independence from Eurasian stock post-contact) from across the Arctic. This project has already had broader impacts for Inuit identity, as the researhers have demonstrated that the Qimmiq or Inuit sled dog is the only indigenous breed remaining in North America (north of Mexico), and it accompanied ancestors of this region in their migration from Siberia to Greenland at least 800 years ago. Previous work on the original award to obtain archaeological bone and tooth samples from Alaska and Canada (North American Museum repositories) resulted in lower pre-1000 AD dog samples than anticipated (n=29; ca. 1/3 original estimate). Thus the PIs applied for additional support to enable travel to the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, to obtain additional pre-1000 AD samples from Alaska (three sites), Canada (one site) and Greenland (two sites). At the same time initially positive results and overwhelming enthusiasm from colleagues resulted in higher than anticipated post-1000 AD samples (n=400). With more than three times original estimate, the time to process these samples has increased; however, they are taking this opportunity to train additional graduate students in ancient DNA (aDNA). In addition, the expanded funding will support the use of a new aDNA sequencing routine known as next-generation that will provide much faster sequencing and allow for much higher resolution sequences. Training for this method will take place in Sweden, followed by dissemination of the method to researchers at UC Davis. The PIs hope that using more fined-grain analysis of modern and ancient samples using mitochondrial, Y-chromosome, STR and SNP markers, and autosomal microsatellites will allow them to "estimate the time of divergence between East Asian dogs and Arctic dogs," and determining whether these dogs diverged in Asia in the late Pleistocene or later during the later Holocene. Autosomal microsatellites may reflect enough variability to examine a proposed genetic bottleneck associated with an epidemic and/or potential culling Inuit dogs ca. 1950-1975. This study has already provided the first study of indigenous Inuit dogs, and now will produce an archaeological sample large enough to approximate a biological population. It will also underscore the importance of using human companions as a proxy for understanding prehistoric human movements and interactions.
This project expands on a current study entitled "Genetic Analysis of Prehistoric Canis Remains from Across the North American Arctic: Implications for Interactions among their Human Companions (ARC-1108175)." In order to have a robust genetic sample that can answer questions regarding different human migrations or interactions from the early period in the Arctic, the PI would travel to the Natural History Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, to obtain additional samples. In 2014 a field team of 2 would travel to the Natural History Museum in Denmark to collect samples of Paleoeskimo and Thule dogs from Greenland, Paleoeskimo dogs from Igloolik, Canada, and Old Whaling and Ipiutak dogs from Alaska. The other major component of this grant is next-gen mtDNA sequencing of 200 of the ancient dog samples by one field team member for three weeks at the Gotherstrom Lab in Stockholm, Sweden. No arctic fieldwork is conducted.
Parameters used to generate this report:, Grant# = "1304810", IPY = "ALL"

What might tax transparency bring?
Open up the tax affairs of large quoted companies, starting with the FTSE 100. We should require companies to be much more transparent about their businesses and profits in the accounts they file with Companies House.
Let's start by putting the issue in context. According to HMRC, the total 'tax gap' for all corporates amounts to some £4.1bn, or 8.8% of the tax gap. This £4.1bn figure includes SMEs as well as larger corporates and the tax gap attributable to the 800 or so largest businesses is only £1.4bn (of which 75% is due to "avoidance"). So the tax gap attributable to avoidance for those 800 businesses is £1.05bn (or about £13m each). That's not an especially significant amount of money – by way of comparison the tax gap for VAT (the overwhelming majority of which is attributable to household spending) is almost £10bn.
(Important but lengthy side note. One must be cautious when using tax gap figures. They reflect HMRC's estimates of the tax which is caught by the letter or spirit of the law. But they don't reflect the tax which many would think should be paid but which is not caught. To take an obvious example, if important intellectual property is held offshore and rented to the UK operation at a market rent, the fact that those arrangements significantly reduce the profits of the UK operation will not be reflected in the tax gap.
So, using HMRC's measure of the tax gap, the problem is not substantial in scale. And, although it might be reasonable to expect that increasing transparency would have some effect on corporate behaviour, the strength of this causal relationship is (to the best of my knowledge) unexplored. Anecdotally, there is conflicting evidence on the point: on the one hand, the growing consensus that being a good corporate citizenship involves paying your fair share is (undoubtedly) leading to changes in behaviour; on the other hand, there is an, I think, quite genuine concern on the part of corporates that a falling tide grounds all boats. In other words if they are to be pilloried regardless of whether their behaviour can sensibly be described as tax avoidance they may as well take the financial benefits available to them.
1. Transparency is a side-show. What we really need is a just tax system.
2. Legislation is not the answer. The fruits do not justify it. And – because we cannot legislate beyond our shores – it would not be effective.
3. However, a corporate citizenry kite-mark would be a good idea. It would usefully harness the self-interest that corporates have in being seen to behave properly. However, to achieve corporate take up, the methodology for qualifying must be fair and sensible. In other words, it must be drawn up by representatives of the business community – and not just tax campaigners.


The result of subtracting two pointers in C is always an integer, but the precise data type varies from C compiler to C compiler. Likewise, the data type of the result of sizeof also varies between compilers. ISO C defines standard aliases for these two types, so you can refer to them in a portable fashion. They are defined in the header file stddef.h.
This is the signed integer type of the result of subtracting two pointers. For example, with the declaration char *p1, *p2;, the expression p2 - p1 is of type ptrdiff_t. This will probably be one of the standard signed integer types (short int, int or long int), but might be a nonstandard type that exists only for this purpose.
This is an unsigned integer type used to represent the sizes of objects. The result of the sizeof operator is of this type, and functions such as malloc (see Unconstrained Allocation) and memcpy (see Copying Strings and Arrays) accept arguments of this type to specify object sizes. On systems using the GNU C Library, this will be unsigned int or unsigned long int.
Usage Note: size_t is the preferred way to declare any arguments or variables that hold the size of an object.
Compatibility Note: Implementations of C before the advent of ISO C generally used unsigned int for representing object sizes and int for pointer subtraction results. They did not necessarily define either size_t or ptrdiff_t. Unix systems did define size_t, in sys/types.h, but the definition was usually a signed type.

Self-Styled Veterinarian in Indiana Is Charged With Cruelty to Animals
Indiana residents contacted us after learning of a horrible case of animal abuse in which the owner of several dogs hired a man, who claimed to be licensed, to cut the ears of the dogs in a "fighting crop." The man was not licensed, and he bound the dogs' legs and mouths and cut off their ears with kitchen scissors.
When animal control seized the dogs two days later, they had received no veterinary care and were still covered with blood. Even though the owner was cited for neglect and there were allegations of dogfighting, there was nevertheless a chance that the dogs would be returned.
After PETA called the prosecutor and wrote to the county attorney, the animal control officers were given permanent custody of the dogs, who were placed in loving, permanent homes. The man who cut their ears was charged with practicing veterinary medicine without a license and with cruelty to animals.

In Vietnamese, the name of the Vietnam's capital consists of two distinct words: "Ha", which means "river" and refers to the Red River and "Noi", which means " inside." Hanoi become the capital Vietnam after 1975, but it have a long history of development.
The city was founded in 1010 on the right bank of the Red River and was called Thang Long, which means "Ascending Dragon".
For both the local Vietnamese and foreigners, Hanoi is considered the cultural center of Vietnam, which retains all the local customs and traditions in an unique way.
Different from Saigon, dynamic and chaotic, Hanoi is quite and small city, but is rich in culture and history.

Q: Qt Phonon & QPixmap::GrabWidget I've been working for a couple of days on grabbing frames from a phonon media object. My aim is to capture frames at some interval specified by the user. I firstly tried to implement a slot for the tick signal associated with Phonon::MediaObject. However because the tick signal is emitted at the first opportunity there can sometimes be a little variety in the time difference... not so much that it's not a workable solution but still I investigated further and tried a combination of seek and grabWidget but it appears that seek takes some time to complete and does not have any way to notify the application when the video is running fine again, this causes code like
obj->seek(i*m_grabInterval);
QPixmap image = QPixmap::grabWidget(m_ui.videoPlayer);

to save out a black image 90% of the time, but correctly grab the frame the remaining times.
My question is is there anything I can do about either of these two ideas that will make them work better for me, or am I barking heavily up the wrong tree and there is a much more  obvious I have missed completely?
Thanks in advance!

A: You are barking up the wrong tree, this should work, create a QImage using the snapshot() func from the Phonon::VideoWidget
edit
I have investigated this matter further. The snapshot function is not even implemented. Here is the implementation in phonon src videowidget.cpp:
QImage VideoWidget::snapshot() const {
    P_D(const VideoWidget);
    ConstIface<IFACES4> iface(d);
    if(iface) return iface->snapshot();
    return QImage(); // TODO not implemented in VideoInterface
}

The IFACES4 refers to VideoWidgetInterface44 which is defined for phonon 4.4  as follows (from videowidgetinterface.h):
class VideoWidgetInterface
{

    public:
        virtual ~VideoWidgetInterface() {}
        virtual Phonon::VideoWidget::AspectRatio aspectRatio() const = 0;
        virtual void setAspectRatio(Phonon::VideoWidget::AspectRatio) = 0;
        virtual qreal brightness() const = 0;
        virtual void setBrightness(qreal) = 0;
        virtual Phonon::VideoWidget::ScaleMode scaleMode() const = 0;
        virtual void setScaleMode(Phonon::VideoWidget::ScaleMode) = 0;
        virtual qreal contrast() const = 0;
        virtual void setContrast(qreal) = 0;
        virtual qreal hue() const = 0;
        virtual void setHue(qreal) = 0;
        virtual qreal saturation() const = 0;
        virtual void setSaturation(qreal) = 0;
        virtual QWidget *widget() = 0;
        virtual int overlayCapabilities() const = 0;
        virtual bool createOverlay(QWidget *widget, int type) = 0;
       };

     class VideoWidgetInterface44 : public VideoWidgetInterface
    {
      public:
         virtual QImage snapshot() const = 0;
    };
}

#ifdef PHONON_BACKEND_VERSION_4_4
   namespace Phonon { typedef VideoWidgetInterface44 VideoWidgetInterfaceLatest; }
#else

I have also looked at implementations of gstreamer and vlc backends. They do not support the snapshot functionality from phonon 4.4 yet. So for the time beeing I will be looking into other ways to create snapshots.

Brad Pickett will make his last walk to the Octagon March 18th, at the O2 Arena in London. He will take on Mexican Bantamweight Henry Briones in his retirement fight in his hometown.
Henry Briones (19-6-1) is coming off a KO/TKO loss to Douglas Silva de Andrade at The Ultimate Fighter Latin America 3 Finale in November. Previously to that, he had suffered a decision loss to the now current UFC Bantamweight Champion Cody Garbrandt at UFC 189. His first win was his UFC debut back in 2014 when he won by round two submission. Briones will have his eyes set on spoiling the party for Pickett as he aims to get back in the win column.
Brad Pickett (25-13) is coming off a recent decision loss to Urijah Faber when he retired in his hometown of Sacramento, California in December. Previously to that, Pickett had suffered a first round submission loss to Iuri Alcantara at UFC 204 in October. His last win was a split decision victory over Francisco Rivera at UFC Fight Night 84 in his hometown of London. Pickett made his professional MMA debut in 2004 and has had a long and successful career competing in promotions such as Cage Rage, WEC and The UFC. Just like Urijah Faber did, Pickett will look to go out with a bang, fighting for the last time in front of a home town crowd.

Q: Want to split one single JSON objects to multiple JSON objects using Javascript I have a JSON response like below,
[{label: "8", value: "1", value2: "0", value3: "0"},{label: "9", value: "7", value2: "2", value3: "6"},{label: "10", value: "12", value2: "1", value3: "0"},…]

Now I want to split it into 4 JSON objects for each key, like below.
[{label: "8"},{label: "9"},{label: "10"},…]
[{value: "1"},{value: "7"},{value: "12"},…]
[{value2: "0"},{value2: "2"},{value2: "1"},…] and more

I tried below things but wasn't successful.
Try1:
var o2 = { uhash: o.uhash };
delete o.uhash;

Try2:
Using for loop to get each pair, array.push and JSON.stringigy() method.
All I want to is create a stacked fusioncharts using the JSON response from database

A: You could make a function that returns the array you want:
You could then map through and call this on the properties in your JSON:
function makeArray(value) {
  return j.map(function(a) {
    return {[value]: a[value]};
  });
}

var labels = makeArray('label');

Working Example

A: You can use reduce like this and return array

var data = [{label: "8", value: "1", value2: "0", value3: "0"},{label: "9", value: "7", value2: "2", value3: "6"},{label: "10", value: "12", value2: "1", value3: "0"}]

var result = data.reduce(function(ar, e) {
  ar[0] = (ar[0] || []).concat({label: e.label});
  ar[1] = (ar[1] || []).concat({value: e.value});
  ar[2] = (ar[2] || []).concat({value2: e.value2});
  ar[3] = (ar[3] || []).concat({value3: e.value3});
  return ar;
}, [])

console.log(result)

You can also return object

var data = [{label: "8", value: "1", value2: "0", value3: "0"},{label: "9", value: "7", value2: "2", value3: "6"},{label: "10", value: "12", value2: "1", value3: "0"}],
    keys = Object.keys(data[0]);

var result = data.reduce(function(ar, e) {
  ar[keys[0]] = (ar[keys[0]] || []).concat({label: e.label});
  ar[keys[1]] = (ar[keys[1]] || []).concat({value: e.value})
  ar[keys[2]] = (ar[keys[2]] || []).concat({value2: e.value2})
  ar[keys[3]] = (ar[keys[3]] || []).concat({value3: e.value3})
  return ar;
}, {})

console.log(result)

A: Why am i not using Array.prototype.map or Object.keys, because in IE8, this methods are not working. To make them work, need to add Pollyfill in the code. So here is your solution without using them
var yourData = [
      { "label": "8", "value": "1", "value2": "0", "value3": "0" },
      { "label": "9", "value": "7", "value2": "2", "value3": "6" },
      { "label": "10", "value": "12", "value2": "1", "value3": "0" }
    ];

var convertData = function(data) {
  var newData = [],
      dataLnth = data.length;

  //dynamically creating the array depending on arraySize
  for(var i = 0; i<=dataLnth; i++)
    newData.push([]);

  //create the data
  for(var index=0; index<dataLnth; index++) {
    var counter = 1;
    for(var key in data[index]) {
      if(key === "label")
        newData[0].push({"label" : data[index][key]});
      else
        newData[counter++].push({"value" : data[index][key]});
    }
  }

  return newData;
};

//printing the output in the console
console.log(JSON.stringify(convertData(yourData)));

A: You can use Array#forEach() and build new objects with the wanted properties in it.

var array = [{ label: "8", value: "1", value2: "0", value3: "0" }, { label: "9", value: "7", value2: "2", value3: "6" }, { label: "10", value: "12", value2: "1", value3: "0" }],
    keys = ['label', 'value', 'value2', 'value3'],
    grouped = {};

array.forEach(function (a) {
    keys.forEach(function (k) {
        var o = {};
        o[k] = a[k];
        grouped[k] = grouped[k] || [];
        grouped[k].push(o);
    });
});

document.write('<pre>' + JSON.stringify(grouped, 0, 4) + '</pre>');

A: I like map() here along with getOwnPropertyNames() though the other answers are probably just as good.

var data = [
  { "label": "8", "value": "1", "value2": "0", "value3": "0" },
  { "label": "9", "value": "7", "value2": "2", "value3": "6" },
  { "label": "10", "value": "12", "value2": "1", "value3": "0" }
];

var results = data.map(function(item) {
  var retval = [];
  Object.getOwnPropertyNames(item).forEach(function(val, idx, array) {
    retval.push({ [val]: item[val] });
  });
  return retval;
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(results));

Oh the horrific pain and liquid shits.
Go to the hospital NOW.
Its okay. The worst of it is over. Just feeling a little queezy now and had enough of the world.
Perhaps some of humanity deserves this shithouse fate however right now there are plenty of perfectly decent people paying for their mistakes.
Eat 1 kilo of cornstarch and 0.2 kilos of activated coal / carbon.... and go to the hospital. (I accidentally swallowed a glass of turpentine when I was painting something with a friend several years ago, the doctors asked me to do such thing as soon as I could, even before going to the hospital).
If you have been breathing it, then the previous advice is useless and just go to the hospital.
I consumed it on purpose. A small amount of Gum turpentine can rid the body of parasites. However; being the badass hero that my fucked up ego thinks he is, I had to have six times the dose.
Not enough to warrant a visit to the stomach pumping room; however, just enough to ensure that im not getting off this floor until tomorrow morning.
the LD50 is quite high, hang on ill check again.... okay so about 5 grams per kilo for rats. So i would have to drink......well that comes to 400ml but id say it would probably be a lot less than that. I am pretty well fucked after closer to 10ml.
What would eatting plant ashes do? would the carbon and the alkali's wash out the body?
Ive always wondered why fasting was done 'with sackcloth and ashes' and wondered how they used the ashes. Im starting to think that they possibly ate them; and that maybe i could flush through some plant ashes to help remove toxins (and any random poisons i may or may not have consumed lately.
If you record your life and adventures on video... I am pretty sure you would rake up a lot of followers and get some of that sweet YouTube cash. No joke.
I consumed it on purpose.
Maybe you simply need a new shirt.
I have a video with a bit more than 3 million views there (I don't get how)... but they don't really pay much money, I don't think it would even be enough as to cover the cost of the funeral.
O.K... jokes or no jokes aside... don't you have a son or daughter, E.M.? Maybe is it OK to consider that having potentially suicidal ideas can be postponed until your son/daughter is at least 18 years old?
What doesn't kill me, only makes more more alchemical. One positive. My breath is a lot fresher!

Australian cattle & sheep farmers and others in the industry have recently united under the banner of Target 100, an initiative aimed at delivering sustainable cattle and sheep farming by 2020. I was fortunate enough to attend the launch of this exciting new project, held at Justin North's Sydney restaurant Etch.
Together they have set a goal of 100 development, research and extension projects funded through their industry bodies to continually improve their sustainability. In short, it involves a pledge to the land - a commitment aimed at improving it and reducing resources throughout the red meat supply chain.
Overall, the industry continues to invest about $13 million each year to reduce the environmental impact of cattle and sheep farming through various research and development programs. Target 100 aims to further develop this commitment by connecting with consumers to share knowledge, increase awareness and promote ethical farming action.
During the launch, we hear from Professor Tim Flannery who discusses the connect between thinking about where our food comes from and the effect of farming it, highlighting the positive impact Target 100 will have on our environment.
We also hear from Queensland farmer Stuart Barrett, a fifth generation farmer responsible for a 7000 hectare farm in Drumburie. His passion for the land is evident and his commitment to looking after and improving the land and his dedication to animal welfare is refreshing. Stuart also talks about new tools for communication and how social media is now helping to bridge the gap between farmers and consumers, providing an excellent framework for discussion.
Celebrity chef Justin North greets us over lunch and affirms his commitment to Target 100 and how he believes educating the consumer about using the whole 'beast' when cooking is paramount to sustainability within the Australian cattle and sheep industry.
Justin discusses the use of secondary cuts of meat to avoid waste and how many of the popular cooking shows have helped to promote home cooking and propel a fascination of food in the community. As such, he believes educating the consumer is extremely important when it comes to utilising secondary cuts. To help illustrate this, we are served a beef two ways - one of which is slow roasted beef brisket - it is divine and just melts in the mouth. Justin, points out how cooking secondary cuts of meat like brisket takes time and that many consumers are put off by this - However, he is quick to highlight that this is simply downtime - time we can enjoy doing other things whilst our delicious feast cooks itself.
This, I like the sound of! Bring on the brisket cooking - a trip to my butcher is definitely in order.
Start a compost bin - the average household bin in Sydney is reported to contain approximately 6kg of compostable waste each week, which in effect, contributes to landfill and subsequently methane. Pete and I purchased a worm farm last year and our compostable waste feeds them which in turn creates a fantastic by-product (worm-tea). Our vegetable and herb garden love it.
Tell me, do you often cook at home using secondary cuts of meat? What is your favourite recipe?
That's a great list of tips we can all use a home to cook more sustainably. Lovely pictures and lovely post!
great post, really interesting to read.
Great post. I do much of what you recommend but not enough. I'll work harder. :) What a great event to be a part of.
Lorraine, Jennifer - Agreed! Esteban took some wonderful photos on behalf of MLA. Was a great day and such a fantastic initiative.


For the past few months, we've been regularly highlighting some of the efforts being made among the nation's businesses to adopt clean energy solutions, particularly those who have pledged to become "100 percent renewable" as members of the RE100 group. This week, let's take a look at Bank of America, which is among those ranks as it has set a goal to become carbon neutral and purchase 100 percent renewable electricity by 2020.
The bank's plan is to work to reduce its location-based greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent, energy use by 40 percent, and water use by 45 percent in its operations across the globe.
It has already made significant progress. Between 2010 to 2015, Bank of America reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 37 percent through efforts like energy efficiency projects, consolidating space, and leveraging a less carbon-intensive grid. To achieve carbon neutrality, the bank will continue to scale its energy efficiency and conservation efforts, purchase 100 percent renewable electricity, and utilize carbon offsets.
The bank has also pledged to contribute $125 billion to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy through lending, investing, capital raising, advisory services and developing financing solutions for clients around the world; in 2017 alone, they provided $17 billion toward these activities.
From 2013-2016, Bank of America's environmental financing supported an average of 39,728 domestic jobs annually. This includes employment in industries such as wind, solar, energy conservation and energy efficiency.
Most recently, Bank of America issued a $2.25 billion green bond, making it the first U.S. financial institution to issue four corporate green bonds, which now total $4.35 billion for renewable energy projects since 2013. This type of bond is important to establish business certainty for investors looking to back clean energy.
Furthermore, Bank of America has a successful charitable foundation. Among its recent clean energy initiatives, it provided a $500,000 grant to GRID Alternatives, which works to make affordable solar power and solar jobs accessible to low-income individuals. The program itself is a job creator, supporting up to 60 GRID SolarCorps Fellows to participate in hands-on training to jumpstart their own clean energy careers while increasing access to solar power and job training in underserved communities.
And in March, the foundation joined the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to launch a new grant program designed to recognize the sustainability and green building achievements of U.S. cities pursuing Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Each grant will consist of financial assistance to aid in the pursuit of a LEED for Cities certification, educational resources, and customized technical support.
What's perhaps most impressive about Bank of America's commitments to clean energy is the myriad of ways they are approaching the issue. CRES thanks the company for making a difference and setting a precedent for other financial institutions pursing clean energy goals.

Broncos' Demaryius Thomas embraces challenge to be 'dominant' again
By: Troy E. Renck
CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- A confluence of factors prompted the return of a smile absent last season.
Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas rediscovered happiness with a healthy left hip and a scheme designed to amplify his skill set.
"This is damn near the best I've felt in my whole career," Thomas said Thursday, his arms looking like he did curls before stepping to the podium. "I am happy to have the old offense back."
Thomas, 29, arrives at career crossroads. He ranks as one of the greatest receivers in Broncos history. And yet he has not played at an elite level the past two seasons, muted by a changed offense and poorly timed drops. New coach Vance Joseph challenged Thomas in March to be "dominant all the time." Joseph embraced the words.
"It's about time somebody said it," Thomas said. "I am looking forward to facing one-on-one coverage again. There's going to be a lot of people running wide open in this offense."
Defenses took turns taking away Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders a year ago, unconcerned with a viable third threat in the red zone where the Broncos ranked 26th in touchdown percentage. Offensive coordinator Mike McCoy features a diverse route tree, and if the tight end and slot receivers develop as hoped, it should force opponents to make difficult choices in coverage.
Thomas caught 90 passes for 1,083 yards and five touchdowns last season. It represented his fewest yards and scores since 2011. He received criticism for sagging production. But his left hip provided a reasonable explanation for the drop-off. Thomas injured his leg on the third series of the opening game against the Carolina Panthers. For the first time Thursday, he admitted it "never felt right again." It showed in his performance. He could not create space against press coverage and was comfortable lining up on only one side of the field. He plans to be leaner this season because of "the amount of running required" in the offense.
In the McCoy scheme, bubble screens allow for more yards after the catch, which shrunk last season. McCoy is counting on Thomas and Sanders to help accelerate the learning curve for the new receivers. Thomas played in McCoy's offense in 2012 with the Broncos.
"There are a lot of the same concepts we ran back in the day. He's done a great job of picking it up," McCoy said. "He's a great resource for the players. Having Demaryius and Emmanuel in the system, they're way ahead of everyone else."
Viewing practice remained unnecessary to draw this conclusion. Thomas' smile Thursday told the story.
"There is joy," he said.

V. Section 73-Second Paragraph
33.29. Section 73-Second paragraph Constitutional validity-Supreme Court case.-
The second paragraph deals with the power of the court to take certain compulsive measures directing a person to give his signature or thumb impressions. A constitutional question pertaining to this paragraph may first be dealt with. An order forcing the accused to give his signature or thumb-impressions does not violate Article 20(3) of the Constitution. This has now been decided by a majority judgment1 of the Supreme Court.2 No change is required on the above point.
1. State of Bombay v. Kathi Kalu, AIR 1961 SC 1808 (1816, Points (3) and (4) and 1819, 1820 para. 32).
2. See also-
(a) the case law discussed in Mahal Chand v. State, (1960-61) 65 CWN 433 (DB); and
(b) J. Subbash, AIR 1970 Mad 85.
33.30. Comparison pending investigation.-
But controversy has arisen as to the power of the court to direct comparison pending investigation. In one case,1 it has been held that a Magistrate has power under section 73 to direct an accused to give finger impressions as well as specimen writings, and this does not offend against Article 20(3) of the Constitution. In this case, the accused were produced before a Magistrate by the police for taking their specimen signatures and thumb impressions for the purpose of comparison during the course of investigation of the case. The accused refused to give their specimens as such. The Magistrate rejected the request of the police. In revision, the High Court set aside the order of the Magistrate and directed him to obtain the thumb impressions and signatures of the accused, with the observation that this does not fall within the expression "to be a witness" under Article 20(3) of the Constitution of India.
1. Govt. of Manipur v. Thokchom Tomba Singh, AIR 1969 Manipur 22.
33.31. Madras, Kerala and Calcutta view-Comparison not permissible.-
In one Madras case,1 the High Court has taken the view that under section 73, the Court cannot direct a person to give specimen signatures and handwriting pending investigation by the police.2
1. T. Subbia (Accused) v. S.K.D. Ramaswamy (Complainant), AIR 1970 Mad 85.
2. See also Farid Ahmad, AIR 1960 Cal 32 (34).
33.32. The Madras High Court1 has in the above case (dissenting from a Patna case2, held that the court cannot direct a person to give a specimen signature and handwriting pending investigation by the police. The petitioner in the Madras case was arrested by the police in connection with certain offences of cheating, forgery etc., and was subsequently released on bail. Pending investigation, the police filed a Memorandum to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, requesting him to direct the petitioner to give a specimen signature and hand writing, for the purposes of further investigation. On issue of a notice by the Magistrate, it was held that the Magistrate had no power to direct the accused to give his specimen handwriting or signature in the course of investigation by the police at their instance.
Same is the Kerala view.3
1. Subblah v. Ramaswamy, AIR 1970 Mad 85.
2. Gulzar Khan v. State, AIR 1962 Pat 255 (257), para. 8 (FB).
3. Alaysius John v. State of Kerala, 1966 MUJ (Cr) 298 (Ker) (DB), (Noted in the Year!, Digest).
33.33. It has also been held1 in Orissa that the Court cannot direct the accused to give specimen signatures and handwriting pending investigation of the case by the police. The High Court held that there is no provision in the Code of Criminal Procedure which empowers a magistrate in every context or generally to assist the police in their investigation with a view to securing evidence. Such powers as exist are of a limited character. The provisions of the Identification of Prisoners2 Act, are also silent as to the taking of specimen handwriting or signatures of the accused. This Act confines itself to the securing of "measurements", including the finger impressions and footprints of an accused or a convicted person.
1. Srikant Rout v. State of Orissa, (1972) 2 CWR 1332 (noted in the Yearly Digest) (B.0 Das, J.).
2. Identification of Prisoner Act (30 of 1920).
33.34. In a Calcutta case,1 two criminal Revisions were taken up for hearing together, as they involved a common question of law.
1. Priti Ranjan Ghosh v. State and Gokal Chand Sharma, 77 CWN 865.
33.35. In one case, the petitioner Priti Ranjan Ghosh was directed by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Alipore to give specimen hand-writings to an officer of the Central Bureau of Investigation during the investigation of a case against the petitioner. Against this order, the petitioner moved the Sessions Judge, Alipore, but the order of the Sub-divisional Magistrate was upheld. The petitioner then filed a criminal Revision in the High Court.
33.36. In the other case, the petitioner Gokal Chand Sharma was directed by the Chief Presidency Magistrate, Calcutta to give specimen handwritings and signatures for the purpose of investigation of a case against him by the Enforcement Branch of the Calcutta police. The petitioner came up in revision to the High court against this order of the Chief Presidency Magistrate.
33.37. The common question of law which arose in both the criminal Revisions was whether a Magistrate can direct an accused person to give his specimen writings to the police in the course of investigation.
33.38. The High Court accepted both the criminal Revisions, holding that section 73 does not empower a court to direct an accused person to give his land writing or signature in the course of investigation. It quashed the orders of :he lower courts. The High Court held as under:
"After a Court has taken cognizance,1 it has the power to direct an accused person to give his specimen hand writings where the Court itself requires such writings to come to its own conclusion and the Court cannot exercise this power for the benefit of either the prosecution or the defence."
1. Emphasis added.
33.39. Andhra view-Comparison permissible.-
It has, however, been held by the Andhra Pradesh High Court1 that under section 73, the Court does not exceed its powers in directing an accused to give his thumb-impressions to enable he police to make investigation of an offence, and, even in such a case, the purpose s to enable the court before which the accused is ultimately sent up for trial to compare the specimen thumb impressions of the accused with his alleged impressions. It has been further held that the order of a magistrate directing an accused to give his specimen signature for the purpose of investigation does not amount o testimonial compulsion so as to be violative of Article 20(3) of the Constitution.
1. B. Raini Reddy v. State of Andhra Pradesh, 1971 Cr LJ 1891 (AP).
33.40. Clarification recommended as to stage at which second paragraph begins to operate.-
The case law discussed above shows that there is a conflict of views, and a clarification is desirable. We recommend that it should be made clear that the power under the section operates only after a court has taken cognizance. It may be noted that the Evidence Act applies only to judicial proceedings1 and it would be inconsistent with the general scheme of the Act to provide for a power exercisable at an earlier stage.
1. Section 1.
VI. Section 73-Third Paragraph
33.41. Section 73-third paragraph-palm impressions.-
We now come to the third paragraph of the section (finger impressions). Consequential on the amendments1 recommended by us with reference to section 45 as regards palm impressions, footprints, and typewriting, it is necessary to include, in section 73, reference to palm impressions, footprints and typewriting, and we recommend that the section should be suitably amended for the purpose.
1. See, under section 45, discussion relating to palm impressions, footprints and typewriting.
VII. Recommendation
In the light of the above discussion, we recommend that section 73 should be revised as follows:
Revised section 73
"73. (1) In order to ascertain whether a signature, writing, or seal is that of the person by whom it is alleged to have been written or made, any signature writing, or seal admitted or proved to the satisfaction of the Court to have been written or made by that person may be compared by or under the orders of the court with the one which is to be proved, although that signature, writing, or seal has not been produced or proved for any other purpose.
(2) The Court may direct any person present in Court to write any words of figures for the purpose of enabling comparison of the words or figures so written with any words or figures alleged to have been written by such person.
(3) This section applies also, with any necessary modifications, to finger impressions, palm impressions, footprints and typewriting.
Explanation.-Nothing in this section applies to a criminal court before it has taken cognizance of an offence."

Here is a list of the best performing Premier League players since the turn of the year
Elliott Jackson
The Premier League is home to some of the biggest stars in world football.
Dubbed by many as 'the best league in the world' England top flight has helped develop and nurture some of the most exciting talent in Europe.
Whilst for the likes of Eden Hazard , the Premier League proved not to be his final destination but merely a stepping stone on his way to stardom, his rapid development in England allowed him to realise his dream move to Real Madrid.
That has been the case for so many stars, Cristiano Ronaldo , Gareth Bale and Phillipe Coutinho are also prime examples.
So, who could be the next star to leave the Premier League? Well thanks to Transfermarkt , we've got the data that shows you the most improved players in England this calendar year, in respect to their transfer value.

How are Everton FC, Liverpool FC and Manchester United performing in the 2019 Premier League table?
So, without further ado, here's a breakdown of the top ten most improved Premier League of 2019.
10: Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Manchester United + £22.5m
Wan-Bissaka entered 2019 as a Crystal Palace 's promising youngster, starting to make a name for himself at right-back.
Nine months on and he has his first senior call-up to the England team, earned from a strong start to life at Manchester United .
Many baulked at the £50m transfer fee but given he's only 21, time is on his side to mature into one of the best right-backs in Europe.
9: Moise Kean - Everton + £22.5m
What a whirlwind year it's been for the young Italian.
His rise to the first team at Juventus saw him scoring for fun alongside Ronaldo and then find the net for Italy's first-team.
Now he's at Goodison Park following a £30m move that is branded by Toffees supporters are one the most exciting in the club's recent history.
He's still finding his feet in England but you would have needed a Google search to identify Kean at the start of 2019, underlining his meteoric rise.
The solution to Manchester United's attacking problem which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is considering
8: Declan Rice - West Ham +22.5%
7: Nicolas Pepe - Arsenal + £22.5m
6: Rodri - Manchester City +£27m
5: Heung-Min Son - Tottenham + £27m
4: Callum Hudson-Odoi - Chelsea +31.5m
3: Trent Alexander-Arnold - Liverpool + 31.5m
Is there a better right-back in the world right now?
England are spoiled for choice at fullback but Alexander-Arnold's performance are keeping him ahead of the rest.
Last term was a momentous season for the Liverpool lad, who registered 15 assists and won the Champions League .
Not bad for a 20-year-old.
Liverpool FC name Champions League squad
2: Bernardo Silva - Manchester City + £31.5m
1: Sadio Mane
Of Liverpool's front three, Mane is the one who has raised his game an extra level the most.
Mohamed Salah's numbers almost make you forget just how brilliant Mane has become.
He was the Premier League's joint top-scorer alongside his Egyptian teammate, and Pierre-Emerick Aubayemang, last season.
He also won the Champions League and his importance to Jurgen Klopp 's side is underestimated but very few on Merseyside.

Haaland feeling 'much better' as Man City striker eyes return
AFP , Friday 4 Nov 2022
Pep Guardiola has revealed Erling Haaland is feeling "much better" as the Manchester City striker targets a return to action in Saturday's Premier League clash with Fulham.

Haaland has missed City's past two games against Sevilla and Leicester due to a combination of a foot injury and illness.
The prolific Norwegian resumed full training on Thursday and City boss Guardiola is hopeful his star forward will be fit for this weekend's match at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland's presence would be a big boost for the champions after he scored 22 goals in his first 15 competitive appearances following his close-season signing from Borussia Dortmund.
"He's much better. We will decide today (Friday)," Guardiola told reporters. "It is a good step, a start to training, but now we have another training (session) this afternoon and will see."
Guardiola, whose side are two points behind leaders Arsenal, has raised eyebrows by naming England playmaker Phil Foden among City's substitutes for the past two Premier League games.
But the City boss said it was no criticism of Foden's form -- he was simply rotating his squad to keep everyone fresh during a hectic period.
"Riyad (Mahrez) has been on bench, Jack Grealish on the bench, Bernardo Silva, (Ilkay) Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne on the bench. It is not an issue," Guardiola said.
"We have many players and we have to use them. I demand the best and want the best of them. This is going to happen in the future. It has always been like that.
"In Dortmund we played to qualify first, and Kevin De Bruyne didn't play one minute. It happens."
