Pupils ready to 'tan-go' at the Dance Competition!
June 23, 2019 /in News /by Anna Knibb
Thursday 20th June also saw a brand-new competition- Year 7-9 Dance. This was a first for The Norfolk School Games and we were looking forward to seeing what creativity and choreography the young pupils had to offer.
8 secondary schools, each representing the 8 partnerships began descended upon Sportspark to compete. The day began with a warm up and workshop from Victoria Taylor, a dance tutor at The Garage in Norwich.
Each school performed for 3 judges, all from The Garage. It was fantastic to see such unique performances, each one had clearly thought about the choreography and costumes to reflect the music chosen.
Whilst the judges totted up their scores, the competitors were treated to a performance from Level 2 dance pupils from City College which provided great inspiration for all. Each group was scored across 6 different categories: music, choreography, floor, impact, concept and overall performance and the final results were as follows:
1st– Norwich- Hethersett Academy
2nd– Breckland- Thetford Academy
3rd– North Norfolk- Alderman Peel
We would like to say a huge thank you to all who were involved and helped with this competition; The Garage, City College and Lisa McGreevy. We look forward to growing the competition and seeing more exciting performances from schools next year.

June 21, 2019 /in News /by Chloe Pedlow
With a glorious sunny start to the day at the Sportspark, around 640 pupils from Secondary Schools across the County came together to compete in the Secondary School School Games Athletics Finals.
The day started with the boys battling it out the track and the girls competing in their field events and then after a lunch break the girls took to the track and the boys headed out to their field events. Field events today included; shot put, discus, javelin, long jump, triple jump and high jump and on the track we had 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 800m and 1500m races.
All of the medals that we given out today on the track were presented by Team England's Iona Lake, who competed at the Commonwealth Games in Australia where she took part in the 3000m Steeplechase and is now aiming for Tokyo next year. A massive thank you to Iona, again , for being our School Games Ambasador for the day. She took time to talk to the competitors and I am sure, as a local Norfolk Athletics talent , inspired many today.
As always we are hugely grateful to the UEA Sportspark for hosting us and allowing us to use their fantastic facilities for today and the duration of the games.
A thank you to everyone who helped out with the running of the event today , we had the most support we have ever had at an Athletics meet and it really showed. Also a massive thank you to the Sports Leaders from Taverham High School who helped with the timing of the races.

High 5 Netball
Thursday 20th June saw the fourth day of the Norfolk School Games take place and part of that was the High 5 Netball finals which were held at the UEA Sportspark and City Academy Norwich.

Teams then entered a second round robin before playing off against the team who finished in the same position in the other group. Small schools took part in a round robin tournament throughout the day. Each team throughout the day played at least 7 matches.

'Bouys' and 'Gulls' and sand galore make for a great first ever Beach Day for the games.
Day 2 saw a new event for the Games descend on Great Yarmouth Beach. Not only a new event but new activities, a new venue but most importantly, new participants to the Norfolk School Games.
Over 150 secondary pupils from years 7-9 from 9 different schools across the county came prepared for a day at the beach. They all had one thing in common, and it wasn't that they'd brought their towels or buckets and spades. It was that they were all pupils who usually aren't the ones to travel in the school minibus to a sporting event.
These pupils got the chance to try out new ways of being physically active on the beach.
They all had a go at five different taster sessions throughout the day. The activities were a fantastic variety of different beach pastimes in order for every student to find something that appealed to them. They jumped high in beach volleyball, tackled in sand soccer, concentrated hard in petanque, struggled against the wind in kite flying and even got creative with some sand drawing.
The event certainly was a success and even the weather held out. The kids were eager to have a go and worked hard to try out all the new activities. Assistant Principal of Iceni Academy, Sarah Turner, said 'Its been a fantastic opportunity for our students who wouldn't ordinarily get involved in sport, allowing them to experience a range of activities alongside developing vital social skills. Kite flying was a particular highlight. I reckon it could be built into our next sports week. The whole event was really good, bring on next years'.
It was fantastic to see the pupils benefit from the event and a huge thank you to all the partners that worked together to pull it off.
Not only Active Norfolk and the eight Norfolk School Sport Partnerships, but Great Yarmouth Borough Council and the Marina Centre who's support enabled the use of the site and East Norfolk Sixth Form College and City College Norwich who's sports students supported the delivery of all the activities. It really was a great team effort all round.

Secondary Panathlon Yr 7-9 – Great Teamwork and determination produces high scores.
Another fully packed but fantastic day we had at the UEA, Sportspark. The Secondary Panathlon was one of three competitions taking place alongside Secondary Dance and Primary Hi 5 Netball. The Secondary Panathlon event was run by The Panathlon Challenge, a national charity which delivers sporting opportunities for children with a special education need or disability (SEND). Children from mainstream secondary schools were invited to represent their school sports partnership (SSP) at the event and it was great to see so many happy faces throughout the event enjoying sport.
This year, we had over 30 children from 5 different schools taking part. The event ran as a carousel of activities which the teams rotated around and collected points for their team. Teams were split into 7 teams. Some of the rotating activities included curling, table cricket, ten pin skittles, basketball, boccia, tennis slalom, football game and polybat.
The teams were supported by 14 leaders from City College (8) and Diss High School (6) all of whom were brilliant. A huge thank you to them for helping the event today.
It was a very close finish at this amazing event but after all points were collected and counted, the results were as follows:
1st– Aylsham High B – 44 points
2nd– Cliff Park Ormiston Academy A – 41 points
3rd– Aylsham High A – 40 points
4th– Iceni Academy -29 points
5th – Neathard High A – 28 points
6th– Cliff Park Ormiston Academy B – 27 points
7th – Neathard High B – 23 points
A Huge well done to all the teams who took part today. There was so much encouragement from all the children not only for their individual team but for others as well which is great to see and a big part of the School Games Values. We'd like to thank the deliverers from The Panathlon Challenge who ran the event today and ensured all competitors had great fun having the opportunity of being involved in sport.

Secondary Angling – Hook, Line and Sinker as anglers achieved 'unreel' results.
Wednesday 19th June 2019 on a busy but great Norfolk School Games county finals day saw pupils compete in Angling, Tri-golf, Mini Tennis and Mixed Kwik Cricket. This amazing angling event witnessed a large amount of talented Norfolk anglers casting into action on Barford Lakes for the third day of the Norfolk School Games Summer Finals.
Over 40 pupils Years 7-9 from secondary schools across the Norfolk County came together to compete of being crowned Norfolk School Games Angling Winners 2019; after qualifying from their Level 2 School Sports Partnership events. We had 15 teams from the 8 School Sports Partnerships. The day started out with great conditions for angling – cloudy skies but warm temperature and gentle breeze (we were lucky not to have any rain) to welcome our angling finalists for the eagerly anticipated peg draw.
The pegs for the 3-hour match that would consist of three lakes into six sections were successfully drawn and the anglers set up their base for the day's proceedings. The match witnessed many different approaches to tempt the wide variety of species that lived in Barford's three impressively well-kept lakes and it was not long before floats were diving, tips were twitching and the nets were filling with Roach, Rudd, Perch, Bream and one or two Carp.
The quality of the angling developed throughout the day thanks to the support provided by Barford Lakes staff and volunteers which was inspiring and excellent. Once again the hard work especially from Sarah Thomson who works closely with those in the Angling industry ensured all our anglers were rewarded with huge amounts of goodies, bait and tackle for qualifying for today's event. In addition to these generous goodies, there were amazing prizes, medals and trophies given out to the top three teams, our 6 section winners and our best overall anglers.
The title of best overall angler went to L. Wagg with a Huge record score weight of 63lb competing for West Norfolk School Sport Partnership.
Section Winners:
The three lakes were split in half to allow for six section titles to compete for and those winners with an impressive weight of the fish caught overall were:
Top Lake: 14lb 14oz – L. Lloyd (South Norfolk SSP) & 7lb 5oz – E. Archer (West Norfolk SSP)
Pleasure Lake: 63lb – L. Wagg (West Norfolk SSP) & 10lb 15oz – B. Wooden (East Norfolk SSP)
Match Lake: 42lb – H. Vincent (Norwich East SSP) & 28lb 12oz – C. Randall (North Norfolk SSP)
Team Event:
A team consisted of three anglers from their SSP who competed in each lake. Every SSP had two teams with one angler from each SSP in one of the six sections of the three lakes. The results were recorded by weight from each section and the top weight scored one point, 2nd two points, 3rd three points and so on. The team with the lowest points score were the winners. In the event of a tie the combined weight of the 3 team members decided places. If still a tie, then the highest weight of the angler in that team decided places.
1st: 7 points – East Norfolk SSP Team 1 (T, Bland, B. Wooden & J. Webster)
2nd: 8 points – Norwich East SSP Team 2 (H. Vincent, E. Deal & J. Holmes)
3rd: 9 points – West Norfolk SSP Team 1 (H. Oughton, L. Wagg & E. Archer)
The full list of final results can be seen by clicking here.
Special thanks must go to Sarah Thomson and her team of volunteers that were absolutely superb not only today but all year long in their support for the local Level 2 Qualification events, without these dedicated and passionate people the event simply would not be the success it is. Please see (Venue for the event) www.barfordlakes.com for more information on fishing and getting involved into the sport.
James Roche – Angling Trust "Great to see over 40 students compete from all different schools across the county and to see the anglers participating with confidence. Providing a quality venue/environment at Barford Lakes, plus great support and help from Barford Lakes staff, coaches and volunteers to aid the summer finals event run successfully. Was also good to see new faces and see a development from last year's competition, fantastic to see 5 girl anglers competing in the county finals and holding their own."
Other feedback from schools "great to see students who struggle to concentrate and engage in a class room, but to see them do this and behave in a different environment like this fantastic venue and opportunity to participate in a different sport is great to see."
The Norfolk School Games Summer Finals action continues onto Day 4 where we have a whole range of events consisting of Hi 5 Netball, Secondary Dance and Secondary Panathlon all at the UEA, Sports Park. The Summer Games will conclude on Friday Day 5 for the Secondary athletics at the UEA, Sports Park. Good luck to all participants for the rest of the week and enjoy it!

Special School Games
On the opening day of our Norfolk School Games we were delighted to welcome the following schools to our Special School Games event, Sheringham Woodfields School, The Clare School, Hall School and Parkside School.
70 very excited boys and girls took part in a trio of events, Wheelchair Basketball, Handball and American Football.
The Wheelchair Basketball, led by Joel Connor-Saunders, is always a great favourite and the students were soon manoeuvering the chairs with the greatest of ease as they fought off the opposition to pop the ball into their opponents basket.The rivalry was friendly and all participants seemed to enjoy themselves.
The American Football was led by Adam Copple who soon had the students handling the rugby shaped ball like pros. A good time was had by all in this fast-moving, and exciting, session.
Both of these sessions were supported by an excellent group of Sports Leaders from City College who brought their own wealth of knowledge and encouragement to the sessions which was greatly appreciated by the youngsters and their staff.
The Handball, which was led by The Head of PE from Sprowston High School, Mr James Panayi. He was very ably assisted by a fantastic group of Handball enthusiasts from his school, all of whom play the game competitively. The younsters were taught the basics skills of the game, and also some rules which were, mostly adhered to, in what turned out to be fast and furious games played by players, their teachers and sports leaders. It was wonderful to see the cameraderie in the teams as they vied for goals against their opponents! It was even better to see the support and encouragement given to each and every one of the participants as they played with such enthuiasm and determination.
Many thanks to our coaches and sports leaders who, not only imparted their skills and knowledge, but also ensured that the children had a fabulous day to remember.

Pupils run, jump & throw themselves into action on the first day of the Norfolk School Games summer finals.
Today's Quadkids event was split into two sessions, with teams from year 3 & 4s competing in the morning and the year 5 & 6s battling it out in the afternoon.
We were extremely lucky with the weather and the sun was shinning all day as a total of 29 teams competed through out the day to represent their School Sport Partnership. Schools brought teams of 5 boys and 5 girls to compete in 4 different events.
The year 3 & 4s competed in a 50m sprint, a longer 400m run, a vortex howler throw and a standing long jump whereas the year 5 & 6s had it slightly harder with a 75m sprint, a longer 600m run, a vortex howler throw and a standing long jump.
Schools were gathered together at the start of the event for the competition briefing and then they were then split into 8 groups and rotated around the 4 activities collecting points for their school as a team.
There were many excellent performances with lots of smiles and cheers throughout the day. Many parents and spectators were able to come and support which added to the atmosphere of the day. 290 children took part overall at todays event, with all scores then being recorded on an electronic spreadsheet.
Sincere thanks goes to everyone who helped at this event for their sheer dedication and hard work, without the teamwork on show today we would not be able to deliver such a fantastic event. Also, a special thank you to the young sports leaders from Thorpe School and City College.
Congratulations to those children who were selected and received a School Games Value Sportsmanship sticker in our end of the day presentation. There was a lot of teamwork, positive attitudes and great sportsmanship on show throughout the day.
Our Local Special Guest & School Games Ambassador for the day, Iona Lake, was introduced to the children and presented medals to our top 3 schools.
Iona Lake made her Commonwealth Games debut in Australia back in April 2018. She joined the other athletes in Team England's athletics squad to compete at the Carrara Stadium in the 3,000m steeplechase. She is currently coached by Pauline Ash at the City of Norwich Athletics Club and is aiming for Tokyo 2020. Iona will be back with the School Games team on Friday for some Secondary Athletics action.

640 runners, from 158 schools, take over Holkham Hall for the Norfolk School Games Cross Country County Finals 2019
March 6, 2019 /in News /by Chloe Pedlow
Wednesday 6th March
Day 6 of the 2019 Norfolk School Games Winter Finals took place at Holkham Hall. The final day of the Winter Games schedule saw 640 young runners, from 158 schools, come together to take part in the Norfok School Games cross country finals.
Each of the participants had qualified to represent their local School Sports Partnership (SSP) by taking part in a prior qualifying competition. Each SSP team included 80 runners made up of 10 boys and 10 girls from each of year groups (3/4/5/6).
Despite the damp start to the day and with dark clouds hanging overhead throughout the event, everyone kept in high spirits.
Pupils were given the chance to walk the courses prior to the first race to familiarise themselves with the route.
Each of the races were extremely exciting with runners setting off at a energetic pace. Runners were cheered on by lots of spectators, who had come to watch the top young runners in the county compete.
The young runners completed the following distances;
Year 3 (boys & girls) – 1000m
• Year 4 (boys & girls) – 1200m

Team England squad member Iona Lake presented medals to our top 3 runners. Iona qualified for the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia, which were held last year.
You can also view and purchase a selection of photos, of each race taken by our event photographer by clicking here.
The event was supported by sports leaders from Alderman Peel High School, who acted as marshals to help guide runners around the course. A massive thank you to all of the volunteers that supported the event and also to Holkham Hall for allowing Norfolk School Games to host the 2019 Cross Country Finals at this stunning new venue.
The 2019 Norfolk School Games Winter Finals 2019 are now complete, with Cross Country being our final event. We hope everyone who participated had a great time and a positive experience and we looking forward to seeing many Norfolk schools involved with the Norfolk School Games Summer Finals in June.

School Games Day 5 – Colour Run Spectacular
February 15, 2019 /in News /by Stuart Silvester
The Winter School Games Week concluded with a Colour Run hosted at Colney Park, UEA with over 700 secondary school pupils from 20 schools across the county taking part.
After a fantastic week of sporting events for both primary and secondary school pupils, the final event showered participants in multi coloured paint during a 5k Colour Run.
Schools from across the eight School Sports Partnerships arrived steadily throughout the early morning, with each pupil being given a t-shirt to wear. Once signed in, everyone took part in a warm up led by 'Mr Dodd', a well known Zumba Instructor from Norwich.
The event was started by Paul Evans, ex GB Olympic marathon runner. The runners heading off around a 1km circuit. The challenge was to complete 5 laps. Strategically placed marshalls were loaded with a variety of paint colours to cover the passing by runners.
It was clear to see the marshalls, provided by 'City College' were hitting their desired targets with pupils being covered from head to toe.
All 700 runners completed, what was for many, their first 5k run.
Before leaving there was one last chance for all to add to the colour, by throwing the remaining paint into the air. This and other images can be found at https://norfolkschoolgames.instaproofs.com/gallery/#events/1646175
BBC Look East filmed the event which aired on there Friday evening show. Presenter Stewart White commenting "this looks like fun, could this be in the next Olympics". I doubt that Stewart, but it certainly was a lot of fun!
Well done to all those who took part and also to 'Inspire Races' for managing the event. For further information on upcoming races across the county please visit: https://www.inspireraces.co.uk
You may like to try a 5k Park Run which are held at various venues across the county, please visit http://www.parkrun.org.uk/ to find your nearest venue. Park Runs are free to enter and a great way of keeping fit whilst running with other people from your community.

Norfolk School Games – Special Schools Event
February 14, 2019 /in News /by Chloe Pedlow
Day 4 of the Norfolk School Games 2019, and we were delighted to welcome 130 young people with special needs, from schools across Norfolk, who took part in a selection of adapted games which included Dance, Goalball, Boxfit, Wheelchair Basketball, Dodgeball and Boxing.
The students from John Grant, Sheringham Woodfields, Chapel Green, The Clare, Sidestrand Hall, Fred Nicholson & The Parkside Schools participated with great enthusiasm and determination, and a very healthy degree of competitiveness.
The boys and girls were selected, by their schools, to represent them at this County event and their schools can be very proud of, not only their sporting skills, but also the wonderful sportsmanship demonstrated as they supported and celebrated the efforts and skills of other students.
This event is now an integral part of our Norfolk School Games and we were very fortunate to have excellent, and highly skilled, coaches delivering the sessions throughout the day. Many thanks to Tom from Boxfit, The Garage (Dance), Jamie McCluskey (Goalball), Able2be Boxing (Jon Thaxton and team) and UEA coaches for delivering the sessions, teaching the youngsters many new skills and ensuring that the youngsters had an exciting day to remember.
Many thanks also to an excellent group of Sports Leaders from City College who worked closely with the coaches to make this a very positive experience for the young participants. They were a pleasure to work with and most certainly added to the enjoyment of the event.
It was a great day and we hope to be doing more of the same in our Norfolk School Games- Summer 2019.
We are now looking forward to our penultimate event of the Norfolk School Games winter progamme tomorrow, Friday 15th February. 5 to 6 hundred secondary school students will be taking part in our newest Norfolk School Games event – The 5K Colour Run! This is a personal challenge with each individual setting their own goal for the event, and possibly even exceeding their own expectations! We will report on its outcome, but we fully expect this to be a very colourful experience…..good luck everyone!

School Games Day 3- High Scores in The Panathlon Challenge!
February 13, 2019 /in News /by Anna Knibb
What another fantastic day we had today at Sportspark. The Primary Panathlon was one of three competitions taking place and was run by The Panathlon Challenge, a national charity which delivers sporting opportunities for children with a special education need or disability (SEND). Children from mainstream primary schools were invited to represent their school sports partnership at the event and it was great to see so many smiling faces throughout the event.
This year, we had a total of 60 children split into 7 teams taking part. The event ran as a carousel of activities which the teams rotated around and collected points for their team. Some of the activities included basketball, precision bean bag and skittles.
The teams were supported by leaders from City College all of whom were brilliant. A huge thank you to them for helping the event today.
It was a very close finish but after all points were collected and counted, the results were as follows:
1st– Diamond Academy 33 points (2 wins overall)
2nd– Bluebell Primary 33 points (1 win overall)
3rd– St Augstine's 31 points
4th– Norwich Primary Academy 29 points (1 win)
5th – North Denes 29 points
6th– Harleston, Spooner Row and Banham 21 points
7th- Sprowston Junior 20 points
A big well done to all teams who took part today. There was so much encouragement from all the children not only for their individual team but for others as well. We'd like to thank the deliverers from The Panathlon Challenge who ran the event today and ensured all competitors had great fun. Photos from this event can be found here. To keep up to date with all results/photos from the games, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

It is totally inclusive, encourages children to get fit and promotes friendship whilst having lots of fun.
It was the older children who took centre stage first, with Pupils from Years 5 & 6 competing for their SSP. It didn't take long for the atmosphere to hit fever pitch as the boys & girls were cheered on to some fantastic performances driven by great displays of enthusiasm & sportsmanship.
After a short break for lunch it was then the team of the Year 3 & 4 pupils to shine, and they produced a fantastic atmosphere! They did superbly well and showed some excellent determination & talent to put on a real show for the watching parents to crown a wonderful day of sporting action.

We would like to take this chance to say a huge thank you to Adam from Sportshall UK who compered, organised and ran the day in a brilliant manner that had everyone engaged, enthused & unable to stop smiling! The event was also supported by Sports Leaders from Taverham High School, who acted as officials for the Track events and ran the Field events so we would like to extend a big thank you to them as well. Also, we were incredibly lucky to be able to have 2018 GB Commonwealth Games Athlete Iona Lake there with us on the day, who handed out the much sought-after medals & trophies as well as provided a huge source of inspiration for all the youngsters.

Q: How to save scroll position of RecyclerView in Android? I have Recycler view which lays inside of SwipeRefreshLayout. Also, have ability to open each item in another activity.
After returning back to Recycler I need scroll to chosen item, or to previous Y.
How to do that?
Yes, I googled, found articles in StackOverFlow about saving instance of layout manager, like this one: RecyclerView store / restore state between activities.
But, it doesn't help me.
UPDATE
Right now I have this kind of resolving problem, but, of course, it also doesn't work.
private int scrollPosition;

...//onViewCreated - it is fragment
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
LinearLayoutManager llm = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(llm);
data = new ArrayList<>();
adapter.setData(getActivity(), data);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
...

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    recyclerView.setScrollY(scrollPosition);
}

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    scrollPosition = recyclerView.getScrollY();
}

Yes, I have tried scrollTo(int, int) - doen't work.
Now I tried just scroll, for example, to Y = 100, but it doesn't scrolling at all.

A: Beginning from version 1.2.0-alpha02 of androidx recyclerView library, it is now automatically managed. Just add it with:
implementation "androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.0-alpha02"

And use:
adapter.stateRestorationPolicy = StateRestorationPolicy.PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY

The StateRestorationPolicy enum has 3 options:

*

*ALLOW — the default state, that restores the RecyclerView state immediately, in the next layout pass

*PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY — restores the RecyclerView state only when the adapter is not empty (adapter.getItemCount() > 0). If your data is loaded async, the RecyclerView waits until data is loaded and only then the state is restored. If you have default items, like headers or load progress indicators as part of your Adapter, then you should use the PREVENT option, unless the default items are added using MergeAdapter. MergeAdapter waits for all of its adapters to be ready and only then it restores the state.

*PREVENT — all state restoration is deferred until you set ALLOW or PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY.

Note that at the time of this answer, recyclerView library is still in alpha03, but alpha phase is not suitable for production purposes.

A: Save the current state of recycle view position @onPause:
    positionIndex= llManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
    View startView = rv.getChildAt(0);
    topView = (startView == null) ? 0 : (startView.getTop() - rv.getPaddingTop());

Restore the scroll position @onResume:
    if (positionIndex!= -1) {
        llManager.scrollToPositionWithOffset(positionIndex, topView);
    }

or another way can be @onPause:
long currentVisiblePosition = 0;
currentVisiblePosition = ((LinearLayoutManager)rv.getLayoutManager()).findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();

restore @onResume:
((LinearLayoutManager) rv.getLayoutManager()).scrollToPosition(currentVisiblePosition);
currentVisiblePosition = 0;

A: A lot of these answers seem to be over complicating it.
The LayoutManager supports onRestoreInstanceState out of the box so there is no need to save scroll positions etc.  The built in method already saves pixel perfect positions.
example fragment code (null checking etc removed for clarity):
private Parcelable listState;
private RecyclerView list;

@Override
public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    listState=savedInstanceState.getParcelable("ListState");

}

@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);

    outState.putParcelable("ListState", list.getLayoutManager().onSaveInstanceState());

}

then just call
list.getLayoutManager().onRestoreInstanceState(listState);

once your data has been reattached to your RecyclerView

A: User your recycler view linearlayoutmanager for getting scroll position
int position = 0;
if (linearLayoutManager != null) {
   scrollPosition = inearLayoutManager.findFirstVisibleItemPosition();
}

and when restoring use following code
if (linearLayoutManager != null) {
  cardRecyclerView.scrollToPosition(mScrollPosition);
}

Hope this helps you

A: to save position to Preferences, add this to your onStop()
 int currentVisiblePosition = ((LinearLayoutManager) recyclerView.getLayoutManager()).findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition();
 getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).edit().putInt("listPosition", currentVisiblePosition).apply();

then restore position like this
 if (getItemCount() == 0) {
     int savedListPosition = getPreferences(MODE_PRIVATE).getInt("listPosition", 0);
     recyclerView.getLayoutManager().scrollToPosition(savedListPosition); }

this last code should be added inside an event of the Adapter (not sure witch event but in my case was onEvent() - com.google.firebase.firestore.EventListener)

A: For some reason there are a lot of quite misleading tips/suggestions on how to save and restore scroll position in your_scrolling_container upon orientation changes.
Taking current scroll position and saving it in Activity's onSaveInstanceState
Extending a certain scrollable View to do same there
Preventing Activity from being destroyed on rotation
And yeah, they are working fine, but…
But in fact, everything is much simpler, because Android is already doing it for you!
If you take a closer look at
RecyclerView/ListView/ScrollView/NestedScrollView sources, you'll see that each of them is saving its scroll position in onSaveInstanceState. And during the first layout pass they are trying to scroll to this position in onLayout method.
There are only 2 things you need to do, to make sure it's gonna work fine:

*

*Set an id for your scrollable view, which is probably already done. Otherwise Android won't be able to save View state automatically.

*Provide a data before the first layout pass, to have the same scroll boundaries you had before rotation. That's the step where developers usually have some issues.

A: The easiest and transition compatible way I found is:
   @Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    recyclerView.setLayoutFrozen(true);
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    recyclerView.setLayoutFrozen(false);
}

A: in onSaveInstanceState() method of fragment you can save the scroll position of RecycleView
@Override
  public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
   super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
   LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = (LinearLayoutManager)
   recyclerView.getLayoutManager();
   outState.putInt("scrolled_position",
   layoutManager.findFirstCompletelyVisibleItemPosition());
}

then you can retrieve saved scroll position in onViewStateRestored() method
@Override
  public void onViewStateRestored(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onViewStateRestored(savedInstanceState);
  if (savedInstanceState != null) {
    int scrollPosition = savedInstanceState.getInt("scrolled_position");
    recyclerView.scrollToPosition(scrollPosition);
  }
}

A: You can use scrollToPosition or smoothScrollToPosition to scroll to any item position in RecyclerView.
If you want to scroll to item position in adapter, then you would have to use adapter's scrollToPosition or smoothScrollToPosition.

More than three quarters of parents have lied about their children's age to save cash, a poll has revealed. The money saving website vouchercodespro.co.uk quizzed nearly 1,800 parents of children aged between five and 17 to look into attitudes surrounding money and lying.
Asked if they had ever lied about their children's age for their own personal gain, 76 per cent said they had.
Top for fibbing was public transport on 58 per cent followed by cinema trips (51 per cent); theme parks (47 per cent); safari parks/zoos (38 per cent); museums – 29 per cent).
Asked if they had ever been caught out when lying about their child's age; 69 per cent said they had never been caught, and 31 per cent admitted they had.
Asked if they worried about the consequences from getting caught, 76 per cent said it was 'worth the risk'.

New York Fed Adds Liquidity Amid Heavy Demand for Year-End Funding
Interventions ensure markets have enough liquidity and short-term borrowing rates remain well-behaved
The repo market shook the financial world in September when an unexpected rate spike choked short-term lending, spurring the Federal Reserve to intervene. WSJ explains how this critical, but murky part of the financial system works, and why some banks say the crunch could have been prevented. Illustration: Jacob Reynolds for The Wall Street Journal

Updated Dec. 2, 2019 12:42 pm ET
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York again saw very strong demand for liquidity aimed at helping financial markets navigate the turn of the year.
The demand once again arrived as the Fed added temporary liquidity to financial markets Monday. All together the central bank pumped in $97.9 billion in two parts. One was via overnight repurchase agreements, or repos, that totaled $72.9 billion. The other was via 42-day repos.

Dead Girls Corp. represents the goth chick cliques in Hollywood and like scenes. Reincarnated in 2016, Toddy T. (aka Toddy Deadboy) has collaborated with guitarist Dave Teague, bassist Bruce Miyaki, and drummer Mel McFail to generate a sound influenced by new wave, industrial, and post punk.

In Hollywood, Ca, a dark alleyway forbodes, connecting Studio 56 and the Record Plant. Music legends of today and yesterday from Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and Mel Torme holed themselves into these studios, all of them making records in the same one hundred yard radius. And, like many stories of legend, the lost replaced the heroes, the junkies replaced the giants, and Satan replaced Sinatra. In the middle, another entryway leads to DeadZone Sound Design. Home of Dead Girls Corp. for the past 10 years. Imagine Depeche Mode with a beat box through a distortion pedal , playing ultra pop at a Satanic disco.

FEATURE: MACMarsh looks to reclaim parking lot as green space
Stephen Clare • Sep 12, 2013 — (last modified) Feb 8, 2014 • 0 comments • FEATURES, Home, News
For many McMaster students, the bridge spanning Cootes Drive is a road seldom travelled. The far west side of campus is currently home to just the Campus Services Building, a few baseball diamonds, and several parking lots. But a group of McMaster professors plans to change that.
Coming from departments ranging from Environmental Science to English, they call their budding project the "MACMarsh." In 2009, the City of Hamilton tore up part of west campus' Parking Lot M to install a Combined Sewage Overflow tank, and it has yet to be repaved. The MACMarsh group is encouraging the university to remove the asphalt that remains and let nature reclaim the barren ground. The parking-lot-to-paradise transition would both increase the amount of campus green space and create a valuable teaching and research facility.
Lot M was first created in the early 1970s, when McMaster was facing an impending parking crisis. Projections at the time indicated that the number of motorists would increase dramatically. Fortunately, Mac had purchased 160 acres of wetlands from the Royal Botanical Gardens in 1963, including the Coldspring Valley Nature Sanctuary. Anticipating a need for much more parking, McMaster cleared the Coldspring Area, rerouted a nearby creek, and built several new parking lots.
Yet the anticipated parking demand never materialized, and a 2011 study found that now just 2,803 of McMaster's 3,963 parking spaces are needed, even at peak demand.
"Because of increases in bike use and people walking and public transit, there's been a big decrease in the number of cars on campus," said Mike Waddington, a professor in the School of Geography and Earth Sciences. Waddington is the Associate Director of the McMaster Centre for Climate Change and one of the professors leading the development of MACMarsh.
"We view it as not so much replacing a parking lot as creating education and research opportunities, as well as being a prettier entrance to the university."
A greener welcome to Mac is not just a tangential benefit of MACMarsh. It would also help to fulfill McMaster's long-held goal of minimizing impact on Cootes Paradise, environmentally and aesthetically.
This vision of MACMarsh as a peaceful, pretty place in addition to a research and teaching facility has attracted people from a wide range of faculties. Daniel Coleman, a professor of Canadian literature in the English department, says the project can be an asset to the Humanities as well. One of his projects involves writing extensively about one small part of Cootes Paradise. "I wanted to see how much I could learn from one area," he said. Coleman also believes that Humanities involvement can benefit the project.
"Human experience and human story and human emotional connection is, in my view, essential to any kind of ecological success… I think humanists have a lot to contribute to projects like this."
Students, too, have a role to play in the project; in fact, Waddington says that MACMarsh is being developed primarily for them.
"Any time we can get students… out of the classroom, into the field, it's a good thing. So I view this as student-driven," he said. "Plus, reclamation research has become very important… Canada is very resource driven. A lot of our students are getting jobs in resource management. So these students, fifteen, twenty years from now will be able to come back and see this facility which they've helped develop and see it as it restores back to a natural ecosystem."
Already, several undergraduate students are involved: Hillary MacDougall, a fourth-year Geography and Earth Sciences student, spent part of her summer working at Lot M.
"You learn about digging wells and stream monitoring, but when you're actually doing it, it makes so much more sense… I think [MACMarsh] would be a really good opportunity for students to take learning from the classroom and apply it to the outdoors and 'real-life' things," she said.
Waddington added that these kinds of opportunities would extend beyond the Faculty of Science, and that as many as a dozen courses that could make use of the facility have been identified.
At this point, MACMarsh is very much in its infancy, and on-site development is at least two or three years away. The project received a Forward With Integrity grant last May to fund the installation of wells and meters that measure aspects of the area such as water flow. Waddington is optimistic that the project will attract philanthropists in the future. He points to a similar venture undertaken by the University of Ohio that has proved very popular with donors.
"[McMaster] would be the first [university] in Canada, and only second in the world, to have a research wetland on its campus," he said when asked about the financial needs of the project.
As for the Marsh's effects on its residential neighbours, that's a facet of the project that has to be examined carefully.
"Before anything would begin it would be very important, obviously, to go through formal designs and discuss it with the public," Waddington commented. He further indicated, though, that he believes most people would rather live next to a naturalized wetland than a parking lot. "It would be interesting to track public perception throughout time," he said.
McMaster was planning to repave the disturbed part of Lot M and reopen it for parking, but those involved with MACMarsh are optimistic that this intention will be reversed in light of their project. In a few years, current first year students might be enjoying their lunch beside a pristine, on-campus research marsh. As it develops, everyone will have a part to play: from Earth Scientists and English professors to students and community members. Coleman sees this interdisciplinary, intercommunity cooperation as a chance to learn and grow.
"It's a "way of linking up, let's say, 'disparate' forms of knowledge and saying 'hey these are all part of our shared story about this place'."

In general I really like that idea, esp. that missions are open for 30 min so a nation has a chance to defend their regions. One thing looks a bit annoying and at least totally unrealistic: Ships, joining a mission after some minutes are spawning at the same place. For instance, a group of three Frigates fighting a single NPC SOL can find themselves just in the middle of a bunch of 10 enemy players with SOL's etc. ... out of blue, magically appeared in carronade distance... uh greetings from David Copperfield! I would suggest, that ships joining a mission later should spawn in some distance to the battle - the later they join the bigger the distance. Our real life counterparts 250 years ago would have seen a reinforcement fleet in a battle hours before and so should we. Edit: Removed some awkward typo's - shouldn't write such posts drunk and in the middle of the night.


Mac OS X could get "floating" interface elements. An Apple patent (number 20110119609) for docking user interface elements has popped up at the US Patent & Trademark Office. It relates to docking graphical user interface elements, for example, a Heads-Up Display (HUD) element.
Per the patent, methods, systems, and apparatus for managing elements in a user interface for a software application executing on a computer system include displaying a user interface having separate elements including at least an image browser element for viewing preview thumbnails of available images, an image viewer element for accessing a selected image and a Heads-Up Display (HUD) element that displays metadata for the selected image; receiving user input requesting that the HUD element be moved from a current location in the user interface to a destination location in the user interface; and modifying the displayed user interface by moving the HUD element to the destination location and selectively altering a size or location or both of one or both of the image browser element and the image viewer element to accommodate display of the HUD element at the destination location in the user interface. The inventors are Nikhil Bhatt, Mark Lee Kawano and Craig Matthew Milito.
Here's Apple's background and summary of the invention: "A graphical user interface (GUI) provides users of computers and other electronic devices a collection of visible tools with which a user can interact (e.g., via a keyboard, mouse, touch screen, light pen) to perform computer tasks. GUIs can be designed for specific purposes, such as a word processor, in which the GUI can present a paper-like interface and collections of tools for performing tasks such as altering the font or color of a selected passage of text.
"Collections of related GUI tools can be grouped together as toolbars. These tool bars can be presented as bands of graphical icons that are positioned along a side of the GUI (e.g., docked at an edge of the interface), or can 'float' at an arbitrary position within the GUI. Some implementations allow for toolbars to be moved between 'docked' and 'floating' configurations to give the user some control over the location of various groupings of GUI tools.
"In general, in one aspect, the subject matter can be implemented to include methods, systems, and/or a computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program for managing elements in a user interface for a software application executing on a computer system. Implementations may include one or more of the following features.
"Managing user interface elements may be accomplished by displaying a software application user interface having multiple separate elements including at least a first element and a second element, receiving user input requesting relocation of the first element from a first location in the user interface to a second location in the user interface, and modifying the displayed user interface by moving the first element to the second location and selectively altering an appearance of the second element to accommodate display of the first element at the second location in the user interface.
"The first element may include a dockable Heads-Up Display (HUD) that, for example, displays meta-data for an item of media content such as a digital still image or digital video. The second element may include at least one of a media display element and a media editing element. Altering an appearance of the second element may include one or both of resizing and relocating the second element sufficiently such that no overlap occurs between the altered second element and the first element at the second location.
"Managing user interface elements may further include receiving user input requesting relocation of the first element back to the first location, and modifying the displayed user interface by moving the first element back to the first location and selectively altering an appearance of the second element to accommodate display of the first element at the first location in the user interface.
"The user interface further may include at least a third element and wherein modifying the displayed user interface comprises moving the first element to the second location and selectively altering an appearance of one or both of the second element and the third element to accommodate display of the first element at the second location in the user interface.
" Receiving user input requesting relocation of the first element may include receiving an indication that the user has clicked on a docking button displayed in conjunction with the first element Relocating a user interface element may include moving the first element to a closest vertical edge of the user interface or a closest vertical edge of the user interface that is not already occupied by another element.
"In another aspect, a system for managing user interface elements may include a storage device for storing media content including digital images, and a computing device communicatively coupled with the storage device. The computing device may execute a digital image manipulation application that is configured to perform operations including displaying a digital image manipulation application user interface that has a plurality of separate elements including at least a first element and a second element; receive user input requesting relocation of the first element from a first location in the user interface to a second location in the user interface; and modify the displayed user interface by moving the first element to the second location and altering an appearance of the second element to accommodate display of the first element at the second location in the user interface. Additionally, or alternatively, the system may include any of the other aspects described herein.
"In another aspect, methods, systems, and a computer-readable medium for managing elements in a user interface may include displaying a user interface having separate elements including at least an image browser element for viewing preview thumbnails of available images, an image viewer element for accessing a selected image and a Heads-Up Display (HUD) element that displays metadata for the selected image; receiving user input requesting that the HUD element be moved from a current location in the user interface to a destination location in the user interface; and modifying the displayed user interface by moving the HUD element to the destination location and selectively altering a size or location or both of one or both of the image browser element and the image viewer element to accommodate display of the HUD element at the destination location in the user interface.
"The current location may include a floating location within the user interface and the destination location may include a docked location at an edge of the user interface, or vice versa. Additionally, or alternatively, the computer-readable medium may include any of the other aspects described herein.
Another Apple patent (number 20110116624) has appeared at the US Patent & Trademark Office for a system and method for data obfuscation based on discrete logarithm properties.
Disclosed are systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer-readable storage media for obfuscating data based on a discrete logarithm. A system practicing the method identifies a clear value in source code, replaces the clear value in the source code with a transformed value based on the clear value and a discrete logarithm, and updates portions of the source code that refer to the clear value such that interactions with the transformed value provide a same result as interactions with the clear value.
This discrete logarithm approach can be implemented in three variations. The first variation obfuscates some or all of the clear values in loops. The second variation obfuscates data in a process. The third variation obfuscates data pointers, including tables and arrays. The third variation also preserves the ability to use pointer arithmetic. The inventors are Augustin J. Farrugia, Benoit Chevallier-Mames, Mathieu Ciet and Jon McLachlan.

NYPD Confirms Mister Cee Arrest
By theurbandaily Staff
The news of HOT97 personality Mister Cee's arrest for a public sex act sparked doubt in the minds of many. However, the New York Police Department has confirmed that Cee was arrested last Wednesday, March 30th.
A NYPD rep confirmed the arrest to XXLMag.com. The arrest occurred at 4:05 PM on March 30th in the area of the first police precinct. Cee, born Calvin Lebrun, was charged with public lewdness and exposure.
Mister Cee did not let the arrest stop him, as he was on air at HOT97 this afternoon for his daily "Throwback At Noon" mix, in which he addressed the incident through his song choices which included songs like Jay-Z's "What More Can I Say" and Nas' "Hate Me Now."
Terrance Dean, author of the controversial book Hiding In Hip-Hop and a contributor to our sister-site HelloBeautiful.com, commented on the arrest earlier today saying "Even though it's alleged, this is not the first, nor would it be last. Don't be surprised if there's more by this summer."

Compare Projectors – Epson 6500UB vs. PT-AE3000 – 4
Panasonic PT-AE3000 Anamorphic lens emulation
Since this is covered in depth in the Panasonic PT-AE3000 review, I'll keep this short. As most of you know, most movies are shot in Cinemascope – with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, a shape significantly wider than the 16:9 HDTV standard aspect ratio that is native for all home theater projectors. This leaves you with a letterbox (dark gray area) on your 16:9 screen, above and below the movie content. To get rid of that, you need a wider screen (2.35:1), and a stretching of the image horizontally with an anamorphic lens. You'll also want a motorized sled for that lens, to move it out of the way for 16:9 and 4:3 content. Problem is, an anamorphic lens and sled combination costs more than either of these projectors.
Panasonic's solution is to let you change the zoom for different aspect ratios. By having the ability to save different lens settings, this makes things practical for folks to go with that Cinemascope shaped screen. It's not a perfect solution, those dark gray letterbox areas are still there, but above and below a Cinemascope lens, and essentially invisible if your wall around the screen is dark. The other limitation is that with a real lens/sled combination, the projector uses every pixel for the movie, but with Panasonic's method, only about 80% are used, so the real anamorphic lens solution is about 20% brighter. To allow this to work, it also limits the usable range of the zoom to about half of the 2:1 ratio of the lens.
Very few people go anamorphic lens, and I doubt that many buying the Panasonic will pair it with a Cinemascope shaped screen, but the feature is a nice one, and there for those who desire it. By comparison the Epson doesn't do this, and for that matter, doesn't support an anamorphic lens at all, without an outboard processor. If you want to go anamorphic with the Epson, you'll be better off buying the Pro Cinema 7500UB version which does have internal support for an anamorphic lens.
Creative Frame Interpolation
Here's an area where the Panasonic PT-AE3000 dominates. Let me start by saying I consider CFI to be a minor feature. I know a few folks though who are really into it. For them, that makes a very strong case for the Panasonic PT-AE3000 over the Epson Home Cinema 6500UB.
Both of these 1080p projectors do a reasonably good job taking a 1080i 60 source signal and add a frame to get it up to 120fps. That gives you a solution for smoother fast action sports, but really doesn't come into play for movies. When it comes to 24fps source material, the Panasonic creates 3 new frames between two originals to get to 96fps, while the Epson creates 4 new frames to get you to 120fps. Problem with the Epson though, is that the image takes on an unnatural "live digital video" (or soap opera look) feel to movies, and it has more artifacts – a noticeable amount of intermittent jerkiness to the content. The Panny handles that with far less artifacts, and is watchable, which I don't consider the Epson to be. Still, it too, adds a bit of that soap opera look, but not as bad. The Epson, by the way, does fine with basic frame interpolation – not creative, on 24fps, taking it to 96fps.
CFI, however tends to mess with the "Director's intent", and that bothers me, when it comes to movies. Consider, if CFI smooths out the changing of shape of a Transformer, it may make the sequence seem not just smoother, but tamer, less exciting. If the director saw the CFI adjusted version would he want to make changes to put back more excitement? Remember, movies run at the same 24fps in theaters as they so on a non-CFI projector. I even suspect that things like panning speeds, in scenes, would be changed if the director knew content was being viewed at a CFI 48, 96, or 120fps.
I'm sure over the next couple of years, we'll see better CFI and on more than the four current projectors that offer it. The four being the Panasonic, both UB Epson's and the Sanyo, but the Sanyo PLV-Z3000 doesn't do CFI with 24fps sources.
Home Cinema 6500UB vs. PT-AE3000 Bottom Line
Click to enlarge. So close. Buy either of these projectors and you should be thrilled with the performance, especially for the dollars spent. While both are 3LCD projectors, and therefore similar in many ways, a number of things separate them, and it's the differences that you should be concerned with. As I write this, the two projectors have pricing parity, at least in the US. That could change, in fact a few weeks ago, based on rebates, and selling price, the Panasonic was typically about $300 less, but for the moment pricing is not a factor.
Primarily, the Panasonic is an excellent, well balanced projector with a natural image, extremely good black levels, and boasts some very interesting new abilities, including their anamorphic lens emulation, and CFI.
I find from side by side viewing, that the Epson as a touch sharper image, but it is slight enough to not be a serious factor.
The Epson has its strengths too. While it is a touch less film-like, and can't match the "special features" of the Panasonic, the Home Cinema 6500UB's strengths include visibly better black levels, and significantly more brightness. The 6500UB's final image has more "pop and wow factor" than the Panasonic. The Epson Home Cinema 6500UB also has a better warranty.
Owners and reviewers are going to be split as to which of these projectors they favor. In my case, I would choose the Epson for my own use, and recommend it more often, but I understand why others will favor the Panasonic. I think I'm right, but you decide!
My best recommendation is to consider your own room layout, lighting, and screen size, your viewing tastes (type of content, lighting conditions for that content) and any other differences, in making your final choice. It's hard to go wrong with either projector.

Q: Intersection of triangle and polygon I have a triangle and an arbitrary polygon lying on the same plane in 3D space. I need to find the fastest way to determine if these two intersect, one is inside the other, or completely separated. At first stage, it's not important to find the intersection points or tell the difference between the states when one is inside the other and when they intersect.
The important thing is having the minimum number of calculations. Can someone guide me in the right direction?

A: I would select some speedy open source library which can do "Intersects" and is written in your favourite language and have a look at the source code. You say "on the same plane in 3D space" so I interpret that 2D Intersects tools will work for you. This benchmark could be of some value for you even it measures the speed of another operation http://rogue-modron.blogspot.fi/2011/04/polygon-clipping-wrapper-benchmark.html.
