Q: Map an array of arrays Is there a method in lodash to map over an array of arrays
I would like to do something like this so that it keeps the structure of the array.
def double(x) { return x*2 }

_([[1,2],[3,4]]).somemethod(double) == [[2,4],[6,8]]

A: It's much more elegant to use the es6 destructuring syntax within your map statement:
array.map(([ a, b ]) => [ a*2, b*2 ]);

A: Just _.map it twice:
var array = [[1, 2], [3, 4]];
var doubledArray = _.map(array, function (nested) {
    return _.map(nested, function (element) {
        return element * 2;
    });
});

Or without lodash:
var doubledArray = array.map(function (nested) {
    return nested.map(function (element) {
        return element * 2;
    });
});

Furthermore, consider using es6 arrow functions:
var doubledArray = array.map(nested => nested.map(element => element * 2));

A: const deepMap=(input,callback)=>input.map(entry=>entry.map?deepMap(entry,callback):callback(entry))

//test

deepMap([1,2,3,[1,2]],x=>x*2) // [1,4,9,[1,4]]

A: The simple way to do that at ES5:
[].concat(...this.array1.map(ap => ap.subArray))

A: You can make your code much cleaner with ES2015 arrow functions:
var array = [[1, 2], [3, 4]];
var double = x => x * 2;
var doubledArray = _.map( array, subarray => _.map( subarray, double ));

Using vanilla JS:
var array = [[1, 2], [3, 4]];
var double = x => x * 2;
var doubledArray = array.map( subarray => subarray.map( double ));

A: It can be a kind of entangle:
var Coef = Array.apply(null, Array(3)).map(function(){return
Array.apply(null, Array(4)).map(function(){return 0})})

Nevertheless, it can be useful if you want to initialize an array in Gas

Cerrada del Utrero and Cascada de Linarejos Hiking Route
The area known as Cerrada del Utrero-Linarejos is a breathtaking natural work of art, sculpted by the River Guadalquivir out of the surrounding limestone. The route is traversed on foot, enabling you to appreciate the jagged rock forms and apertures created by water over the course of thousands of years. During this pleasant hike you will be accompanied by narrow-leafed rock privet, terebinth and willow as you head towards one of the most photographed spots in the park: the Cascada de Linarejos waterfall, also known as the cola del caballo or "horse's tail".

Laguna de Valdeazores Hiking Route
From the Las Navas track near the hill of Collado Bermejo, a forest trail leads off to the left and is closed to vehicles by a barrier: this is the start of the route. It is an easy descent through Corsican pines, ferns, ashes, maples, gall oaks, holm oaks, elms, a number of yews and holly trees, where the most characteristic fauna of the area can also be observed. 3 kilometres on from the starting point you will reach the stream known as Arroyo de la Reina, which you must cross in order to rejoin the trail. It is a stream that begins up in the high mountains, and makes its way down through narrow mountain passes.

DOWNLOAD TRACKS
Poyos de la Mesa Hiking Route
Navas are extremely fertile stretches of land located at a certain altitude and which have, since time immemorial, been used by residents of the mountains for grazing their livestock or planting crops. The first of these, which you can reach via the JF-7091 (a provincial road, the first section of which is asphalted before later becoming a dirt track), is known as the Nava del Espino and marks the beginning of this route. The trail begins next to the ruins of a forest house that once bore the same name as the nava. The trail consists of a narrow dirt track all the way to the end, and it is closed to private vehicles. It passes through a stunning forest of Corsican pine and wide expanses of pasture, gradually snaking its way upwards along the slopes of the peak of Los Poyos de la Mesa.
Routes by bike: Source of the River Guadalquivir
This circular route is one of the most characteristic routes that can be done in the Nature Reserve, either by bike, in a private off-road vehicle or by booking an off-road vehicle guided tour. Your route starts in the town of Iruela, a historical site, but this circular route can be started at any point along the way and will always end at the same place. The first section of the asphalted track affords stunning views of the town of Cazorla and several viewpoints from which to admire the Old Town.
Route by car: Cazorla - Cerrada del Utrero - Torre del Vinagre
History and nature along the banks of the Guadalquivir river are the suggestions for a route of many contrasts that leads to some of the most significant areas of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas Nature Reserve.
The Cañamares Trail, passing through Chilluévar and La Iruela
The trail runs parallel to the upper part of the Cañamares river. Right at the start of the hike you'll pass through Los Tiscares, a group of farmhouses built in the traditional style. The sound of water accompanies you all along the itinerary, owing to the fact that the Cañamares river holds water all year round and flows through a deep valley between steep slopes.
The la Zarza Forestry House Trail, passing through La Iruela and Santo Tomé
It goes in two directions
FROM THE PUERTO DE LAS PALOMAS PASS TO LAS ERICAS
The trail starts out along the mountain ridge, where you can view the pre-Park area with olive groves on one side and La Loma in the background, while the Guadalquivir river valley lies on the other side, inside the Nature Park. Follow the trail until you come to the Fuente de la Zarza Forestry House, which affords a panoramic view of the valley and several peaks (El Yelmo, Banderillas and Cabeza del Tejo)...

Q: How to remove empty tags using regex? After my clean-up I ended up with a bunch of empty tags. I'd like to remove them but the expression I've been using this far:
Regex.Replace(clean, "(<[/a-zA-Z]+?)([^>]*?)(>)", "$1$3");

I've seen a discussion here but it didn't get me clear. How do I make sure that the first and the second discovered content of a tag is the same (to match them together) except for the slash?

A: You can use backreference to make sure the name of the closing element matches that of the opening tag. This is the pattern I've got by extending Konrad's solution:
result = Regex.Replace(input, @"<([^>/][^>]*)></\1>", String.Empty);

Here \1 refers to the first group matched in the pattern, which is indicated by the parentheses in the pattern, which surrounds the name of the opening element.

A: I don't think you need to check if they're of the same kind. That's assuming that you have a valid XML structure. If so, there's can't be anything on form:
<someTagStarts></anOtherTagEnds>

So you can use the following regex.
Regex.Replace(input, "<[^>/][^>]*></[^>]*>", "");

I also found this link but I'm not sure why they're using a plus instead of star at the closing tag. Better to ask about it.
Realizing that you might have the need to remove even the tags that are seemingly empty (they containing empty space and stuff like that), I can bounce back of Sina's solution and add the following).
Regex.Replace(input, @"<([^>/][^>]*)>(( )*|\s*)</\1>", String.Empty);

It's somewhere around here that we go from cute to nasty experience of regex.   :)

A: This will be a late answer, but as I said in your previous question:
Don't try to parse xml/html with regex, use a real xml parser to process xmls
Altought, it can work for some simple cases, it would bring more trouble while maintenance and handling corner cases.
Using Linq To XML:
var xml = @"<root>
            <notempty>text</notempty>
            <empty1><empty2><empty3/></empty2></empty1>
            </root>";

var xDoc = XDocument.Parse(xml);
RemoveEmptyNodes(xDoc.Root);
xDoc.Save(fileName2);

void RemoveEmptyNodes(XElement xRoot)
{
    foreach (var xElem in xRoot.Descendants().ToList())
    {
        RemoveEmptyNodes(xElem);
        if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace((string)xElem) && xElem.Parent!=null)
            xElem.Remove();
    }

}

Output would be (handlling the case mentioned by  @kirmir)
<root>
    <notempty>text</notempty>
</root>

A: I find a way to remove all empty tags (having a class or not)
The regex solution that i found is:
<\s*[^>/]*>(( )*|\s*)</\s*[^></]*>
Look at the following example:

That´s a text
That Regex will just delete the Test2 class.
I hope that´s help you! :)

There are so many bad habits, every young entrepreneur should avoid. Your habits, your lifestyle can make or break your career. These five bad decision-making routine is some of the most severe there are, so if you see them developing in yourself, take practical actions to get rid of them.
Research can and should go into essentially every option you create, from choosing your business's focus on market to choosing a new client support professional. The level of persistence you may invest exploring should be straight proportionate to the dimensions of the selection.
You'll get more value from hearing than discussing. If you want to keep on top of your activity you need to keep studying. And a great way to keep studying is to start hearing. Not hearing to what others say can cause you to overlook a lot of important concepts and training.
This one outcomes from eagerness too. You want to create some fast cash. You just can't wait around. You want everything to occur now. So you work for now and ignore the long run. Instead of making an investment into something that will pay you x100 in 10 years. You're pleased with fast x2 ROI.
Taking risk is good. It's important. Beginning a business is stuffed with threats. So you have no option but to go through threats. However, getting threats that you don't need to at all is simply ridiculous.
The distinction is, business owners develop companies that can flourish without them actually being existing. On the other hand, freelance workers develop companies that can't endure without them.
"Good" choices and "bad" choices cannot be identified centered on their ultimate outcomes. Instead, the quality of a option should be identified centered on the quantity and type of attempt the decider put forth in starting the process of.

The Earth system provides many fascinating examples of fluid dynamics phenomena that are also of societal importance. Turbulent convection in the outer core generates the earth's magnetic field. The viscous mantle (outer half of the Earth) is slowly but vigorously convecting, and consequently the Earth's surface is dynamic. Viscosity is not important in the oceans and atmosphere, but the flow there is fast enough for the rotation of the Earth to become a dominant control. Electromagnetic effects again dominate in the solar wind and magnetosphere. This course investigates the Earth using fluid dynamics. For students in the Earth sciences it provides an opportunity to learn the insights that can be provided by fluid dynamics.

Discussion On: Will Dhrupad Live Long ??
Perhaps a form of music doesn't need practitioners, but a strong body of listeners to remain alive. And I submit that there are quite a few musicians that align themselves with the Dhrupad genre to this day. I can think of quite a few that live outside of India, enought that I wouldn't consider this an extinct artform just yet. Remember where the foundations for Khayal were laid.
Yes, Stephen you are probably right, but tell me how will a form of music survive, if it has no practitioners. Apart from Gundecha brothers, Dagars and a few more, tell me who credible practitioners are still practising Dhrupad??? Most of them comparatively take the easier way out...Khayal.
I am in Kuwait, and an ardent follower of Indian classical music, mainly the Carnatic style, but I also enjoy hindustani classical. As part of a music forum based in Kuwait, i am interested in knowing more about, getting renowned artists to perform here. Presently, we are keen to bring Bharat Ratna Ustad Bismillah Khan to Kuwait. Can anybody tell me, how I can go about this. Where and whom should we approach etc?
Greetings Desparately need a used or new Sarangi. Live in Pakistan. If there is any manufacturer that delivers in Pakistan please let me know. Or i can try asking someone to get it for me from India but I need the names of good manufacturers.
Does any one knows about any flute or guitar teacher in kolkata, prefererably in and around Salt Lake?
Hi I am a law student in India.I have been learning Hindustani clasical vocal music for the last 5 years.though i dont have a concrete idea about dhrupad,but i can say that it is suffering due to fewer number of artists in this field.Khayal has been dominant in the classical music dias since the last 3 to 4 decades or so.Apart from the Gundecha brothers and the Dagars there ae promising musicicans in this field like Uday Bhawalkar and Phalguni mitra.....however,music does not have to be practices to be alive but just a good class of listeners.It is a fact that the taste of listeners has changed drastically when it comes to classical music concerts and they do prefer khayal.But i would ike to contest one of my friends who opines that khayal is the easier way out...well its absolutely not!khayal requires a very rigourous practice as does dhrupad.Per se,they only differ in the format and silsila of the rendition,otherwise the vocal techniques and those of voice throwing are the same.....Khayal and Dhrupad are not superior or inferior to each other but are rather very closely related and in a way complement each other.
anybody desirous of learning flute online and thro cd's can contact me with details about you and your knowledge level in flute. you can learn to play flute within a year.
Hi .I am Shreya.I have been learning hindustani classical vocal music for 8 years.I am 13 and am presently studying in Welham Girls School Dehradun.I read recently that Dhamar and Dhrupad are almost forgotten .If Khayal continues this way Dhrupad will not live for long. There are very less maestros who can sing dhrupad and I duno what the next gen will be able to do.
I am a regular performer of classical music and if anyone have interest for learn on this subject then talk with me through mail.
I am a student of indian classical music since my childhood & pursuing it under the maestro P.t.Ajoy Chakraborty.I am 20 & a performer of all types of music.Anybody intersted to discuss something about it can contact me through my e-mail.Also i would like perform through this site.
hii Robin, i am Satinath Bhattacharya,Dhrupad Singer..i want to make a contact with you.take a look at my website www.satinath-dhrupad.com.. my next musical programme wiil be at HABITAT WORLD,Delhi on 6 th April,2006..if possible please attend along with your musical associates and make a contact with me..
I am a Bharatnatyam dancer from Kolkata,learning from my guru,Srimati Thankamani Kutty for the last 12 years.I shall be performing my Arangetram this year.I have performed on various stages and participated in various workshops under important gurus like Srimati Yamini Krishnamurthy.If anyone wants to discuss something with me, you can mail me.i am very keen on getting some positive response from your site.
Hi Robin, We have a new CD from Riverside Studio from Aalkmaar.Can I have your email address.my email id is rishabhdhar1@yahoo.co.in Please do get in touch with me. Thanks bye Rishabh Dhar.
dear friend ihad learned classical music from pt. manilal nag and later still now learning from pt. kashinath mukherjee . iused to play sitar and surbahar extensively for 10 years. i wish to perform ouyside kolkata to get inter national acclaimation and to sharpen himself.
i am performing at kolkata.if you come to kolkata . iwant that you should make cntact with me. i would like to share musical views.
I disagree that an artform, especially something like dhrupad, will live on with a class of listeners if the performers are not present. Still, dhrupad exists and I believe will exist in temple musics, it is for this reason that dhrupad has not been allowed to die out completely. I believe that, without the musicians or the temple traditions, it cannot exist with only listeners. If there are only listeners, who will they listen to?

 funny that i have happened on this topic as i am currently listening to a recording of the gundecha brothers singing bhairava.

 On another note, I am moving to gujarat near vadodara in august to study with my sarod guru. anyone live near or around there?
forgot also to mention who I am studying with, currently from Anniruddha Rai and soon with Satyam Rai, both sons of the late Pandit Vasant Rai, one of the greatest sarodiyas to have lived.


The class is full. You can still apply to be on the waitlist. Thank you.

Special-effects wizard Stan Winston, who won Oscars for his work in Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Jurassic Park, died Sunday at his home in Malibu, California. He was 62.
Most recently, Stan Winston Studio devised the suits featured in Iron Man. The movie's director, Jon Favreau, said Winston brought a "childlike enthusiasm" to his craft.
"He was the king of integrating practical effects with CGI, never losing his relevance in an ever-changing industry," Favreau said in a statement. "I am proud to have worked with him and we were looking forward to future collaborations. I knew that he was struggling, but I had no idea that he would be gone so soon. Hollywood has lost a shining star."
In the wake of Winston's death following a seven-year battle against multiple myeloma cancer, Aliens producer Anne Hurd told Variety: "Stan Winston never looked at anything as a problem. It was always an opportunity. I never saw him defeatist, regardless of what may have happened. And he had an incredible childlike passion for films and for makeup effects and animatronics."
Winston won the visual effects Oscar in 1986 for Aliens, then bagged back-to-back wins for 1992's Terminator 2: Judgment Day and the 1993 dinosaur epic *Jurassic Park. *He also won an Oscar for makeup work in 1992's Batman Returns, and was nominated many other times.
Steven Spielberg, who relied on Winston to craft creatures that would mesh seamlessly with digitally generated effects in *Jurassic Park *and Artificial Intelligence: AI, praised the effects guru.
"I rode his cutting edge from teddy bears to aliens to dinosaurs," Spielberg said in a statement. "My world would not have been the same without Stan. What I will miss most is his easy laugh every time he said to me, 'Nothing is impossible.'"
Dennis Muren, who supervised the digital effects on Jurassic Park, said: "Stan's creatures would work with the actors and when you put the two together the audience was confused, and sometimes we were too, about who had done what. But Stan always said it shouldn't be all one or all the other, it should be a combination of the two."
Winston is survived by a son, daughter, brother, four grandchildren and his wife Karen.

A modern take on the classic Hammond organ quartet sound.
This CD features Hammond organ master Greg Hatza, guitarist Mike Pavone, and drummer Marty Morrison on saxophonist Fraize's original compositions. A variety of grooves and styles are represented on the album: the funky title cut, the straight-ahead and latin-inflected burner "Rawer Than Dinner," the blues shuffle "Soloman's House Of Freaks," the gospel-tinged ballad "Cradle Rocked," the modernistic take on Rhythm Changes "Rhythm Schtick," the soul-jazz vibe of "Brain's," the Larry Young/Woody Shaw-inspired "Young One," and the rollicking country-funk flavor of the closing track "Fish (This Big)."
Peter Fraize's latest album is called "Organic Matter" and is an album that features a tight knit cast of players (Hammond organist, a guitarist, and a drummer) all playing with Fraize and his saxophone, on his original compositions that are of a wide variety of Jazz songs. "Soloman's House of Freaks" is an almost toe-tapping blues shuffle, in which the drums, organ, and guitar hold down the beat while the saxophone does the singing. "Brain's" is a unique jazzy number, with talented musical timing, that portrays a very modern take on using soulful sounds. "Fish (This Big)" is a song that incorporates a little bit of the jam-band sounds, in a song that is both jazz and rock like and really packs a punch. Overall, this is a distinctive album with its primary use of the Hammond organ as well as the saxophone to create songs that are an amalgam of both past and modern Jazz. If a collection of funky and truly talented jazz grooves sounds like something you would enjoy, then pick up "Organic Matter" by Peter Fraize.

Marie-Juliette Olga Boulanger (Lili) grew up surrounded by composers and musicians. Her mother and grandmother were singers and her grandfather had been a noted cellist. Her father, Ernest, who was 77 when she was born, won the Prix de Rome composition prize at the Paris Conservatoire and his death, when Lili was only 6, was a cause of lasting sadness. Her sister, Nadia, who was 6 years older, was a formidably talented pianist.
Before she was even 5 years old, Lili accompanied her sister to classes at the Paris Conservatoire and sat quietly listening, and she soon began music theory and organ lessons herself. She also studied the piano, violin, cello, harp and singing, having lessons 7 days a week.
Taking composition lessons with her sister, Nadia, and with Gabriel Fauré, in 1913 Lili became the first woman to win the Prix de Rome composition prize. This was a significant achievement, not least because the rules of the competition stated that entrants were required to conduct their own work and at the time society frowned upon women directing male musicians.
Sadly, Lili suffered ill health all her life, following a case of bronchial pneumonia at age 2. She was in frequent pain from what is now called Crohn's disease. In 1916, she was told she only had two years to live and she died in 1918, at the age of 24. She nevertheless wrote over 50 works, including choral, chamber and orchestral music.
D'un Matin de Printemps (A Spring Morning) and its companion piece, D'un Soir Triste (A Sad Evening), were written in 1917-18 in three different arrangements, for chamber groups and for orchestra. They are best described as symphonic tone poems. The two pieces share melodic lines and themes but the moods are completely different, and they are the last pieces Lili was able to write with her own hand. They are written in the impressionistic style and reveal the influence of Debussy and Fauré. The flute begins the main theme and it travels through different instruments with masterful orchestration. The happy, dancing movement is punctuated with moments of slowing down and with darker passages, suggesting a hidden sadness, but the piece is full of playful twists and turns and beautiful melodic lines. The strength of the ending indicates Lili's vitality and zest for life, despite her physical frailty.
Elizabeth Winters, whose composition 'Playing With Destiny' was written for and first performed by us back in 2010.
A: I never tire of listening to Mendelssohn, Schumann or Stravinsky. I love Bach but I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I find Beethoven's music a bit of a struggle to enjoy – even though I obviously admire his work a great deal. Among more contemporary composers, long time favourites are Julian Anderson, Thomas Ades, Judith Weir and Oliver Knussen and from the younger generation I like what Ed Nesbit, Helen Grime and Charlotte Bray are doing very much. I love listening to recordings of 'old school' string players such as Fritz Kreisler, Albert Sammons, William Primrose etc. The fact that the performances aren't 'perfect' or anywhere near today's sound quality somehow adds to the appeal for me.
On the whole, I'm not sure that it does! Although…I recently wrote a song about breastfeeding (for a concert during World Breastfeeding Week) and I perhaps responded to the text in a more personal way than a man would have done, given the nature of the topic.
A: I think this has always been the case actually. It also helps to be very diverse – a conductor/composer/performer is always going to have an edge. Or, many people go down the academic route.
A: I asked my husband and he replied 'engaging, lyrical and beautiful'. He'd just come in from playing squash though and was pretty tired, so maybe this affected his response!?
A: I was incredibly lucky with my early compositional career. Up until I was about 30 or so, things really went along pretty nicely and easily. I was doing all the usual young composer stuff and getting some good commissions. Things then went downhill a bit as I was struggling a lot with the conflict between writing how I wanted to write and how I felt I 'should' write. There were some challenging things going in in my life as well at that point, and I didn't write anything for about 3 years. I then had a baby and started writing again! This is probably not a recognised way to rejuvenate your composition, but it worked for me! The frustrations now are that I have very little time to devote to the business side of composition and living out of London makes it extremely hard (both time wise and financially) to travel in for concerts and networking. I also need to be a lot more practical in terms of making money as I have my son to support, so I spend most of my working time teaching.
A: Don't expect to do everything at once and make the most of every opportunity while you can.
A: Since the birth of Edward (now 3 years old), I have only written a few pieces and they have all been commissions. Even before then, I pretty much always wrote with a specific performance or performer in mind and I would find it very hard to write any other way. The challenge for me now, with a young son, is the deadline, but without it I would probably never write anything at all!
A: I am proud of all my pieces in the sense that they all exist in their own time, for a specific purpose. Even the few which I would happily never hear again have played a part in my compositional journey. I know which works I think are 'better' in terms of technique or which ones have been more successful, but this doesn't mean I am any prouder of them.
A: In a shed (sorry – music studio!) at the bottom of my garden. This was built with funding from The Composers' Fund which is a PRS for Music Foundation initiative in association with the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. I think a lot before starting the piece and usually have it sketched in my head before I start. Once I can hear bits of it reliably then I get to work with manuscript paper planning out the structure and what ideas will come where. If there's a time limit (which there usually is) then this bit is very important, and I won't move on from it until I am happy. It saves so much time in the long run. Then I just write the piece from beginning to end! I will sketch each section on manuscript paper until I am happy with it and only when I have a large chunk of 'finished' music will I go anywhere near Sibelius. Some of my composition pupils write directly onto Sibelius and I would find that extremely hard.
A: Hearing Maxim Vengerov play Shostakovich's 1st violin concerto with the LSO when I was about 13 or 14 years old. I was totally blown away.
A: Ten years ago, I would have said 'extremely important' but now I would say the total opposite! When I was younger, I was constantly thinking 'is this good enough…how do I know…does so and so like it?' etc. etc. but now I don't really care that much. Of course, it's lovely to have people say positive things about my pieces but I can't be driven by that anymore. It doesn't change my opinion of my music and I know that in general I am writing better pieces now than I ever have done.

Q: Why is the setBackgroundResourceForDate being showed in red? Actually I am using the caldroid library for android but in it I could not find any proper documentation for setBackgroundResourceForDate function. The files I have imported are:-
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.roomorama.caldroid.CaldroidFragment;
import com.roomorama.caldroid.CaldroidListener;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

and here the setBackgroundResourceForDate is being showed in red:-
if (caldroidFragment != null) {
            caldroidFragment.setBackgroundResourceForDate(R.color.blue,
                    blueDate);
            caldroidFragment.setBackgroundResourceForDate(R.color.green,
                    greenDate);
            caldroidFragment.setTextColorForDate(R.color.white, blueDate);
            caldroidFragment.setTextColorForDate(R.color.white, greenDate);
        }

A: As far as i can see there is no method defined with the name 'setBackgroundResourceForDate'in class :import com.roomorama.caldroid.CaldroidFragment;
instead you could use setBackgroundDrawableForDate(Drawable drawable, Date date)
You can implement it like this:
if (caldroidFragment != null) {
            caldroidFragment.setBackgroundDrawableForDate(R.color.blue,
                    blueDate);
            caldroidFragment.setBackgroundDrawableForDate(R.color.green,
                    greenDate);
            caldroidFragment.setTextColorForDate(R.color.white, blueDate);
            caldroidFragment.setTextColorForDate(R.color.white, greenDate);
        }
