Firestorm meeting: SL Go explored
Posted on December 25, 2014 January 16, 2015 by Inara Pey
On Sunday, December 21st, The Firestorm Team held a short-notice meeting which focused on Firestorm and SL Go. The special guest for the event was Dennis Harper, OnLive's Product Manager for SL Go, who provided commentary on the background to SL Go and OnLive, and addressed audience questions.
Chakat Northspring was on-hand to record proceedings. As usual, the video is embedded here, and a transcript of the Q&A session is provided. However, in the interests of brevity, the first part of the meeting is provided a summary format, rather than a full transcript. Time stamps are provided for key topic areas, and for the Q&A session, for those who would like to listen to any point of interest within the video. Note that dates mentioned in the initial conversation reference 2012 and 2013, in actual fact, these should be 2013 and 2014, as reflected in the text.
A Summary of the initial Conversation
This initial conversation on SL Go, OnLive and the relationship with Firestorm lasted some 35 minutes, and is summarised here. Some questions were asked during the discussion on topics such as privacy and payment options. For ease of reference these have been moved to the Q&A section and placed with other questions on the same topic. Time stamps are provided to the relevant part of the video (below).
How Firestorm Got Involved with OnLive SL Go
Gary Lauder, OnLive's Lead Investor (and company chairman at the time), approached LL's former CEO, Rod Humble, about OnLive providing SL to users through their service (Image courtesy of LinkedIn)
[0: 03:57] The OnLive / Linden Lab partnership came about as a result of OnLive's Lead Investor (and at the time, Chairman), Gary Lauder, indicating he believed SL would be a good match for OnLive and then initiating contact with Rod Humble at the Lab in May 2013 (see my article on the launch of SL Go)
[0:0515] Initial closed beta testing commenced in October 2013, while Dennis Harper joined in November 2013, charged with getting the product published and launched. The occurred in March 2014, using the SL viewer, offering to Mac and PC systems and Android tablets
[0:05:25] The initial metered pricing plan wasn't popular with users. However, OnLive launched with it as they really didn't know what to expect. Their service costs money to provide (servers, data centres, network, support), and SL users are a very different type of user compared to games users, spending up to 10 times longer active on the platform compared to someone playing a game. Metered payments were seen as a means of balancing use against cost
[0:06:48] As the reaction to metered payments was bad, OnLive revisited things and in April changed the pricing model to one of unlimited use of the service for US $9.95 (UK £6.95) a month – and the service started gaining traction, Then in October, the service launched on the iPad
[0:07:25] OnLive had always been aware of Firestorm and its large market share of the SL user base, and it was felt that offering Firestorm through SL Go would be a good way to bring the OnLive experience to a wider audience
[0: 08:24] Jessica Lyon was initially unsure of the, but was convinced when Dennis pointed-out that a large take-up of SL Go was among users on low-end computer systems, who were finding the service gave them renewed access to the platform, complete with a rich graphical experience. As many Firestorm users on such low-end systems complain that each new update of the viewer is pushing them further and further out of SL, she felt that having Firestorm on SL Go could include them once more
SL Go is a Service
[0:12:59] The launch of Firestorm on SL Go drew some negative feedback from Firestorm users (and from elsewhere). However, it is important for people to remember:
SL Go isn't intended to be another viewer offering like a TPV. It is a service intended to meet very specific goals:
To provide people who are on older, lower-specification systems with a rich, immersive Second Life experience comparable to that enjoyed by someone using a much more capable computer
To provide those who wish to have the same rich, graphic SL experience as supplied by the viewer when accessing SL from their Android Tablet or iPad
[0: 12:25] Dennis Harper is the first to admit that the service isn't for everyone, but for those who might have a need for it, it is available on a 7-day free trial basis, so people have nothing to lose in giving it a go.
SL Go and the Firestorm Take-up
[0:13:40] Dennis describes the take-up of SL Go following the addition of Firestorm as "scary" and being like "the hockey stick term" in the way that there was gradual take-up up until the Firestorm launch, which saw a large substantial increase in initial adoption, as Firestorm users gave SL Go a try under the 7-day free trial offer. He also notes that there is an affiliate programme available for those wishing to refer people to the service via blogs, websites, etc., and earn money via referrals to the service.
[0: 15:32] There was an initial issue with the system as a result of the way the texture cache was being handled.
The SL viewer uses a default 512 Mb cache, which users rarely adjust. Originally, on exiting the SL Go service, an entire user's cache, together with their settings would be copied to a secure, encrypted store. Then, the next time the user logged-in to SL Go, the cache and their settings would be copied to the server they were assigned for their SL session, a process that didn't take long
Firestorm, by default uses a 2Gb cache, and users often set it larger. This made the copy process a lot more protracted, with the result that if a Firestorm user opted to restart the viewer by logging out (which ends their SL Go session), on immediately relogging, they'd get an error
To avoid this, users now get a 2 Gb cache, which is automatically flushed at the end of each session, leaving only their inventory files and settings to be copied back to and from the secure store.

Q: How can I set an specific session with the JSESSIONID? I have a perfectly working web Java 1.5 web application that runs on Tomcat 5. The application is dependent on its session, so everything works well as long as the Session Cookie is passed around, or the JSESSIONID comes at the end of the context path like this ";jsessionid=..."
I now have to make my application work, in an environment that works like this:

*

*Every request to my app will be a POST to just one URL, with no parameters whatsover (so I won't be able to set the jsessionid in the context path).

*No redirects allowed, I have to return HTTP status 200 with my response.

*The body of the POST is an specific XML (I can add custom parameters there).

As my application is old and works well, I wanted to make this work without having to change everything. I was able to make the single URL thing work by adding as one of the parameters in the XML body, the actual URL that should be executed, and then forwarding the response to that URL, also appending the rest of the parameters there. Here is an example:
POST http://server.com/singleUrl.do

<xml>
  <parameters>url=realPage.do&param1=value1&param2=value2</parameters>
</xml>

I then forward this to:
http://server.com/realPage.do?param1=value1&param2=value2

And it works. I just added an abstraction layer to my application, and everything works fine. Except the session...
As no session cookies are ever sent, I lose my session between POSTs. I added the JSESSIONID as one of the custom parameters in the XML, like this:
<xml>
  <parameters>url=realPage.do&param1=value1&param2=value2&jsessionid=ABC121312</parameters>
</xml>

And tried forwarding to:
http://server.com/realPage.do;jsessionid=ABC121312?param1=value1&param2=value2

But it doesn't work. The same thing, with a redirect, works. But of course, in my new requirement no redirects are allowed.
Finally, my question. How could I set the session that corresponds to that JSESSIONID? I'd like to do it in the same abstraction layer that processes the request before sending them to my "real" application.

A: I think I've come up with a solution for this... I've implemented a proxy, which parses the XML and then makes a new request, with the JSESSIONID in place. I then write the response of that request on the response of the real request.
I've made a prototype and it seems to be working. It's really ugly, but at least my application doesn't know any of this is actually happening.

Hi, Todd!>Hi, I have a few questions - And here are a few answers. Hope it helps.>1) After the glideslope is captured, AP 1 and 2 are set, APP>set, etc, and the plane is descending fine, it suddenly>disactivates. Did you do anything when in glideslope? Any yoke movements? Any key-presses? How did you notice that the AP had disactivated? The light in the APP button went off?>2) I'm told that during approach, I'm going to see green>markers indicating when to extend the flaps. This is not so.>I only see the green marker for UP.You were told correctly. And what you have seen is correct too. At start you'll only see a marker for FLAPS 1 (that's the "UP"). After the speed indicator passes the "UP" mrkaer, select FLAPS 1. Then a marker for FLAPS 2 appears on the speed tape (it will look as "1"). When the speed drops below that marker, select FLAPS 2 - the next marker will appear. And so on. The markers just do not appear all at once like in the Airbus planes. The rule is to select the NEXT flap position when the speed passes the indicator that shoews the CURRENT flap position.>3) APU - After both engines are started, I turn off the APU. >I get a whole bunch of RED warnings: Low pressure for fuel,>yaw damper turns off, etc.Check whether the engine generators on the overhead panel are on. Turn them on, monitor the APU GEN lights extinguish and then switch the APU off.Have fun flying!

Q: Angular directive templateUrl won't render on script tag Originally, I had asked why the partial that I've defined in my controller and ng-template won't populate the modal.
After having no success loading any directive on the script tag - I believe that the routing method we are using is what is circumventing the script from finding the partial.
The directive's templateUrl returns 404 when invoked via the modal ng-click="open()". Everything resolves correctly if invoked on other elements.
Directive loads templateUrl on div:

Directive templateUrl returns 404 on script:

    <button class="button" ng-click="open()">Open me!</button>

What's even more confounding is that the controller logs that the modal was dismissed. Which means that everything else is running smoothly, except that 404 stops the content from loading, which closes the modal.
Does this sound familiar to anyone's use case? Is there a way around it?

Q: Find a sum of fractional series I have a series:
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{4^{2n-1}}$$
I know that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{4^{n}} = \frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{4}{3}$, but what should I use in my case?

A: If in doubt, you can always write out the first few terms of the series:
$$S = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4^3} + \frac{1}{4^5} + \frac{1}{4^7} \cdots \tag{1}$$
$$\frac{1}{4^2}S = \frac{1}{4^3} + \frac{1}{4^5} + \frac{1}{4^7}\cdots \tag{2}$$
Since the series converges as $|r| < 1$, $(1) - (2)$ gives:
$$\frac{15}{16}S = \frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow S = \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{16}{15} = \frac{4}{15}$$


There are currently around 4,000 people who have untreated hearing issues in Samoa.
With no qualified audiologists and limited access to ear nose and throat specialists, many of those with hearing issues are left untreated.
The Bay Audiology programme returns to Apia for the second year in early August 2017 and will see hundreds of people screened for hearing problems and fitted with donated hearing aids.
The team was inundated on their first visit in 2016 with hundreds of people arriving for the hearing check, including an entire classroom of children.
Bay Audiology is partnering with local health NGO SENESE who have also been trained in the maintenance of hearing aids and ongoing screening to provide continued support after their visits.
Joseph Parker visited SENESE on a recent trip home to Samoa earlier this year.
"Living in New Zealand, I'm lucky enough to have access to an audiologist or hearing specialist should I ever need it," says the boxer.
In the past the heavyweight champion was unlucky enough to experience temporary hearing loss after a Championship fight.
"I was punched so hard in the left ear I wasn't able to hear anything out of my ear at all for over a fortnight.
"Having temporary hearing loss made me feel isolated and distant from everyone – friends, family and my community. It made me appreciate my hearing even more when it did return. It also gave me a small insight into what it would be like to live with hearing loss long-term.
Naomi Asi, Acting Director of SENESE says half of the 4,000 known cases of mild to severe hearing loss in Samoan would very easily be treated with hearing aids.
In children, untreated hearing loss can interfere with development of speech, which impacts on a child's ability to learn and can often lead to behavioural and social problems.
In adults, the inability to communicate, along with other factors such as the stigma of disability can result in social isolation and inability to gain or maintain employment.
"For those who suffer from hearing loss become very self-conscious - they stop attending church, they stop going to school, and they fall behind in their community," says Asi.
"Our hope is that with the strong support of Joseph Parker, we will see more people come forward to get help and get back to enjoying a full life again."
Bay Audiology, Managing Director Dean Lawrie says they are extremely grateful for Joseph Parker's support.
"It is wonderful to see our Free to Ear – Samoa programme continue to grow thanks to our partners SENESE and all of our New Zealand customers who have donated hearing aids.


In BO cloud for planning , we are trying to simulate a case such as planning stock values based on months. In BPC system we are capable of calculating these values with ABAP coding or logic files help.
For ex., we have sales amounts and stock months. According to stock months and sales amounts we are calculating our stock values backwards based on time.
I have attached a screenshot which explains our calculation method. In Cloud system how can we manage that?


We're very lucky on the NosillaCast because so many people contribute fantastic reviews or record their Dumb Questions. I often get questions on the best way to record, how long the reviews should be and the best way to get the recording to me. These quick instructions will tell you everything you need to know.
The Open Source Audacity from audacity.sourceforge.net is cross-platform and free, so what's not to like? It's a little clunky looking but it works perfectly on the Mac, Windows and Linux.
The best format is an uncompressed format (AIFF or WAV) because when I get it, I'll be adding it to my own recording and then compressing it. If you send it as an MP3, it will be compressed twice. It won't be horrible but why not make it the best it can be!
Garageband isn't obvious in how to save uncompressed. If you create your recording as a podcast, you won't be able to save it uncompressed. Hide the podcast track and then choose export, and UNcheck the compress box. That will create an AIFF file.
For Audacity you're in luck – I create an Audacity Tutorial for Podcasting. Just stop before I teach how to compress to an mp3 and you'll have an AIFF or WAV file.
Remember that we have a lot of people who like to read rather than listen to the show, and there's the deaf who can't listen, so if you use a script (which makes it easier to stay under 5 min) be sure to send it to me. Even if you don't use a script, if you can give some bullet points that's good too. And don't make me go hunting you down to get the links to the products you've reviewed, send them the first time! Oh – and don't forget to plug your own work, if you've got a blog or a podcast of your own, or you just want people to follow you on Twitter, send me that too!

Histoire

Préhistoire

Des vestiges d'occupation humaine remontant à la période paléolithique, entre  et  , ont été découverts dans le haut-Aragon, sur des territoires voisins du Sobrarbe, comme sur le site de Castelló de Plá, sur la commune de Benabarre, en Ribagorce. La grotte des Maures de Gabasa, à Peralta de la Sal, en Litera, présente également un intéressant matériel de l'homme de Néanderthal. L'un des sites les plus intéressants est celui de la grotte du Forcón ou grotte du Borracho, à San Juan de Toledo de la Nata, sur la commune de la Fueva. La grotte contient quelques représentations d'art pariétal appelées maccaroni, des motifs géométriques et une figure de cheval.

La période néolithique est représentée sur plusieurs sites, qui appartiennent tous au Néolithique moyen : Huerto Raso à Lecina, la Espluga de Puyascada et la grotte du Forcón à la Fueva et enfin la Miranda à Palo.

Antiquité

Moyen Âge

En 724, face à l'invasion musulmane, le chef Garci Ximeno réunit une petite troupe. Sur un chêne, apparaît alors à leurs yeux une croix flamboyante. Ce prodige galvanise les combattants, qui mettent en déroute les envahisseurs, et cette victoire suscite à la fois le nom de la région : Sobrarbe, sobre el arbol, « sur l'arbre ». L'image de l'arbre surmonté de la croix est le blason du Sobrarbe.

Au , le comté de Sobrarbe fut élevé au rang de royaume par le roi de Navarre Sanche III le Grand († 1035) pour son fils Gonzalve  († 1039), roi de Sobrarbe et de Ribagorce. À la mort de ce dernier, le Sobrarbe fut incorporé dans le royaume d'Aragon.

Période moderne

Durant la période moderne, le Sobrarbe partage le destin de l'Aragon.

Époque contemporaine

Durant les années 1930 se développent des groupes anarchistes de la CNT : les deux principaux, sur la commune de Boltaña, regroupent 260 affiliés. Lorsque la guerre d'Espagne éclate en 1936, le Sobrarbe reste du côté républicain au début de la guerre. En mars 1938, le général nationaliste Sagardía arrive avec ses troupes à Boltaña et s'empare d'Aínsa le 5 avril. Le 14 avril 1938 commence la retraite des forces de la  de l'armée populaire républicaine, qui évacue le Sobrarbe par Bielsa et le col du Port Vieux sous le feu nationaliste. La bataille de la poche de Bielsa s'achève le 15 juin 1938 par la chute définitive du Sobrarbe aux mains des nationalistes.

C'est par la loi 5/2003 du 26 février 2003, publiée le 7 mars 2003 au Bulletin officiel d'Aragon, qu'est créée la comarque du Sobrarbe. Ses frontières sont définitivement constituées le 26 avril de la même année et reposent sur la tradition historique de la communauté sobrarbienne. Les compétences lui sont transférées le  juin.

In my effort to read more, I thought it might be nice to take myself on a weekly "library date" each Friday. I could swing by the library (about 5 minutes from my office), return the books I've finished, pick up some new ones, and have a leisurely lunch. Since I had finished 2 out of the 3 books I checked out last Friday, I decided to give it a try yesterday.
It...did not go quite according to plan. I found the library with no problem and was excited to see that it was a beautiful two story structure with squishy chairs for reading, open staircases, and lots (and lots) of books. I returned my books quickly, headed to the computers that now act as catalogues and wrote down the Dewey Decimal digits for the books I wanted. All three were supposedly on hand. I say supposedly because none of the three were. After consulting with three different librarians, we eventually found one of them in large print and put holds on the other two. The one I had most wanted to read? The kindly gentleman helping me said it could be up to a month before I would see it. So I headed back to the catalogues, looked up more books and (thankfully) they were all located exactly where they should be. Almost an hour after arriving, I left with a stack of 4 books, two light science and two fluffy fantasy.
The lesson of the day? Pick out the books I would like a few days or the night before and put them on hold. That way, I can quickly come in, drop off the books I have, and pick up the new ones. It eliminates the serendipity of wandering the stacks and spotting something you absolutely *must* read, but it also saves you from running up and down (and up and down) the staircases chasing books that have gone missing. And that time you save not running around? You can spend blissfully browsing the stacks looking for new friends.
In other, related, news, I have added a Books tab at the top of my blog which links to my goodreads account. If you want to see what I am reading, want to read, and what I thought of the books I've read...this is a good place to check. (Or follow me on goodreads directly, if you are on there.) I've signed up for a 52 book challenge at goodreads, meaning my target is to finish at least 1 book a week. At the pace I read, this should be imminently doable. The trick is to fold reading back into my daily life and to remember to pick up new books as I finish the first ones. We'll see how this goes.
This was the main library. : ) I've only been to that one and the Bailey Cove branch.

Why in the hell would you go for a two-point conversion when there are 36 seconds left in the game? Your offense was shaky at best all afternoon; Kyle Allen is not Russell Wilson or Patrick Mahomes, so just kick the extra point, tie the game at 20-20 and go to overtime. Do you want to show your team how to win? Do you want to test your team? And you say you want to teach your team how to win? Which is why you went for two instead of the extra point?
Then, why don't you teach them how to win in overtime and see if they can actually go out and win the game — but don't just give away the game with 36 seconds left by going for 2 instead of going for the tie. There is virtually no time to get the ball back if you fail. Which we did fail, and we lost the game.
Look, Ron Rivera gambled twice on 4th down, and it paid off….great, I applaud you — but I don't care if the analytics say that converting a 2 point play is about 50/50. The fan base needed this win badly, this was a divisional game — a must-win game, and you don't gamble with these type of games. This was a heavy loss.
Daniel Jones had nothing against us except for one good run. Our defense took control of the game towards the 4th quarter, and the Giants couldn't get anything going offensively. We had the momentum; we should have gone to overtime and beat them there. Our running game continues to struggle. Peyton Barber has been useless so far this season. I do not see anyone stepping up to potentially be the bell cow running back like Derrius Guice was supposed to be and was starting to show flashes of potential greatness.
Next week, we have another divisional game against the Cowboys. Dallas has a bad defense, and their offense is struggling. I don't see Zeke running on our defensive front, Andy Dalton will have to beat us through the air, and Amari Cooper is their most dangerous weapon. Still, this is a very winnable game — Lets Beat Dallas.
WFT 19 — NY GIANTS 20:
And for the rest of the league…..
CARDINALS 38 — COWBOYS 10:
Dallas got beat badly by Arizona; it was a miserable night for Dallas, and that brought joy to my soul. The Cowboys defense is looking extremely vulnerable, and my Washington Team has an excellent chance to make a statement next week against them.
RAVENS 30 — EAGLES 28:
Lamar Jackson was somewhat contained in this game but still managed to throw 1 TD and run for another. Carson Wentz played much better than in previous weeks and brought his team back to make the game a lot closer, but in the end, the lack of healthy weapons is hurting this Philly team. Baltimore allowed a bad Philadelphia team to get back into the game, which should be a cause for Ravens fans' concern.
STEELERS 38 — BROWNS 7:
Browns Head coach Kevin Stefanski cited a rib injury as the reason for Baker Mayfield struggling. The fact is that the Steelers are very good this season, and Cleveland is simply not good enough to compete in a tough and competitive division with Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and a Cincinnati team on the rise.
BUCCANEERS 38 — PACKERS 10:
Tom Brady rebounds nicely after losing to Nick Foles last week. Green Bay went ahead on the scoreboard early with 10-0 in the first quarter, but from the 2nd quarter on, Tampa bay scored 38 unanswered points on a packers team that looked completely overwhelmed.
49ERS 24 — RAMS 16:
Jimmy G had a solid game with 3 TDs and zero interceptions to help San Francisco win a huge divisional game. The NFC West is now the most combative division in the NFL.
BEARS 23 — PANTHERS 16:
Carolina was looking pretty good coming into this game, but Terry Bridgewater struggled to get his offense going. Chicago is now 5-1 playing some sloppy looking football and finding ways to win games. The Bears are now in a great position to win this division.
CHIEFS 26 — BILLS 17:
Patrick Mahomes got back on track throwing 2 TDs to star tight end Travis Kelce and relying on a powerful running game behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who rushed for 161 yards. The Bills have lost 2 games in a row, and Josh Allen struggled in both games; next week, they have the pathetic NY Jets, which should be a winnable game for them.
TITANS 42 — TEXANS 36:
Romeo Crennel has this Houston team playing at a higher level than under Bill O'Brien. This was a thrilling game that went into overtime, but the combination of Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry is becoming a lethal dose of explosiveness. The Titans are now 5-0 and looking like a legit contender.
DOLPHINS 24 — JETS 0:
It didn't really matter that FitzMagic had 2 interceptions; he still managed to score 3 TDs, and Miami completely dominated this NY Jets team that is just plain awful and possibly the worst team in the NFL. Adam Gase will be fired very soon.
BRONCOS 18 — PATRIOTS 12:
This was the most surprising game of the week. Cam Newton and New England struggled in all areas of the ball. Cam looked rusty after testing positive for Covid a few weeks ago. Denver only needed to score 6 field goals and zero TDs to put this game away.
FALCONS 40 — VIKINGS 23:
Matt Ryan looked great, and Kirk Cousins played his worst game. Minnesota needs to press the panic button now and make some drastic changes. Atlanta got their first win of the season, and it was a huge one.
LIONS 34 — JAGUARS16:
Both these two teams are bad, but Jacksonville is almost as bad as the Jets, and Detroit's defense feasted on a flawed Jacksonville team.
COLTS 31 — BENGALS 27:
Indianapolis needed this win badly. Phillip Rivers threw 3 TDs and 1 interception and brought the Colts to 4-2 behind Tennessee for the division. Joe Burrow threw for over 300 yards with 1 interception; he seems to continue to get more comfortable as a starting QB. The Bengals will contend next season.

Should Europe's Search Law Apply To The World?
Late last year, EU regulators in Brussels said they wanted the controversial "Right to be Forgotten" ruling applied to search results on a global basis rather than just in its own jurisdiction as it stands today. In other words, if someone is successfully able to get Google (or other search engines) to remove search results about them from its index in Europe, regulators want the search engine to remove the results from all of its localized versions, including Google.com.
Do you think results should be removed all over the world or should it be limited to Europe? Let us know what you think.
Obviously this is a tricky subject since it leads to censorship of results in other countries with different laws.
The Google Advisory Council on the Right to be Forgotten weighed in on the subject in a report. This is who the council is made up of (you can click the image to be taken to the official site, where you can read each person's bio):
The report looks at an overview of the ruling, the criteria for assessing delisting requests, and procedural elements. One section deals specificalliy with the geographic scope issue. Here's what that part says:
A difficult question that arose throughout our meetings concerned the appropriate geographic scope for processing a delisting. Many search engines operate different versions that are targeted to users in a particular country, such as google.de for German users or google.fr for French users. The Ruling is not precise about which versions of search a delisting must be applied to. Google has chosen to implement these removals from all its European-directed search services, citing the CJEU's authority across Europe as its guidance.
The Council understands that it is a general practice that users in Europe, when typing in www.google.com to their browser, are automatically redirected to a local version of Google's search engine. Google has told us that over 95% of all queries originating in Europe are on local versions of the search engine. Given this background, we believe that delistings applied to the European versions of search will, as a general rule, protect the rights of the data subject adequately in the current state of affairs and technology.
In considering whether to apply a deslistng to versions of search targeted at users outside of Europe, including globally, we acknowledge that doing so may ensure more absolute protection of a data subject's rights. However, it is the conclusion of the majority that there are competing interests that outweigh the additional protection afforded to the data subject. There is a competing interest on the part of users outside of Europe to access information via name-based search in accordance with the laws of their country, which may be in conflict with the deslistings afforded by this Ruling. These considerations are bolstered by the legal principle of proportionality and extraterritoriality in application of European law.
There is also a competing interest on the pat of users within Europe to access versions of search other than their own. The Council heard evidence about the technical possibility to prevent Internet users in Europe from accessing search results that have been delisted under European law. The Council has concerns about the precedent set by such measures, particularly if repressive regimes point to such a precedent in an effort to 'lock' their users into heavily censored versions of search results. It is also unclear whether such measures would be meaningfully more effective than Google's existing model, given the widespread availability of tools to circumvent such blocks.
The Council supports effective measures to protect the rights of data subjects. Given concerns of proportionality and practical effectiveness, it concludes that removal from nationally directed versions of Google's search services within the EU is the appropriate means to implement the Ruling at this stage.
In other words, with the overwhelming majority of Google users in Europe using localized versions of Google, it wouldn't really be all that more effective in hiding results in question by removing them from other versions of Google outside of Europe. By doing so, search results would be unnecessarily censored in parts of the world (like the U.S.) where laws cater to open access of public information and media reports.
Here's the full report:
Do you agree with the Council that the right to be forgotten should only apply to the European-based versions of Google and other search engines or do you think results should be removed from search engines on a global basis? Let us know in the comments.

Victims blast KS archbishop on abuse
They 'out' 6 publicly accused priests who are/were in KC KS
The allegations arose elsewhere but the clerics spent time here
SNAP also urges Archbishop to include those who abuse adults on his list
Holdings signs at a sidewalk news conference, clergy abuse victims and concerned Catholics will disclose a list of six clerics publicly accused of child molestation who worked in/around KC KS but have gotten virtually no public or press attention here,
They will also call on KC KS Catholic officials to
---explain why these six names were left off their list of clergy with "substantiated" allegations,
---add the six names, along with photos, whereabouts and work histories of all publicly accused clerics, to their website, and
---include the identities of priests who have sexually abused, exploited and harassed adults as well.
Thursday Jan. 31 at 1:45 p.m.
On the sidewalk outside St. Peters Cathedral, 409 N 15th St., (between Sandusky and Orville Aves.) Kansas City Kansas
Three-four concerned KC area Catholics along with two-three victims of clergy sexual abuse who are members of a support group called SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, including a St. Louis man, David Clohessy, who is the group's current volunteer St. Louis leader as well as its former long time executive director
1) Last week, KC KS Archbishop Joseph Naumann released a list of 22 of priests with "substantiated" allegations of abuse, as well as 4 additional men who had public, but not "substantiated," allegations against them.
http://theleaven.org/substantiated-allegations-of-clergy-sexual-abuse-of-a-minor/
But SNAP has found, and is disclosing for the first time, 6 additional clerics who have been publicly accused child molestation and who were omitted from Archbishop Naumann's list.
These clerics have been 'outed' elsewhere but have attracted no secular media attention in the greater KC area. All have either been convicted, sued, or exposed by Catholic officials or governmental entities, but almost always in other states. Their presence or time in the KC area is confirmed through the same sources.
--Fr. Anthony D. Palmese was deemed to have "substantiated allegations" on the Omaha Archdiocese's website last November. He is accused of sexually abusing a Nebraska boy. Fr. Palmese also worked in parishes in New York NY, Topeka KS, and Orlando FL. He was a member of the Order of Augustinian Recollects.

https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/ocala/obituary.aspx?pid=155759849
--Fr. Roger A. Sinclair was exposed as a "predator priest" last August in an extensive Pennsylvania grand jury report about clergy sex crimes and cover ups in that state. Catholic officials
were told he molested two boys, but one priest deterred a mother from reporting to police.
Fr. Sinclair was treated at a Church-run center for sexually troubled priests called the House of Affirmation in St. Louis MO. He was also a military chaplain in CA, FL, KS VA and MA.
In 1991, Fr. Sinclair was fired from Topeka State Hospital after he "managed to gain access to a locked unit deceitfully" to try to take male teen patients to the movies. In 2005, he resigned from priesthood.

http://bishop-accountability.org/priestdb/PriestDBbylastName-S.html
--Fr. Eugene A. Maio is a Jesuit who was accused in a lawsuit of sexually abusing one person at Marymount High School in Los Angeles. Hepreviously trained in the Kansas City KS archdiocese as student priest, and later taught at St. Louis University in the St. Louis archdiocese for at least two years. In 2003, he was living in the Akron OH area.
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/assign/Maio_Eugene_A_SJ.htm
--Fr. Placidus Kieffer is a Benedictine who was accused of sexually abusing two boys in the Davenport IA diocese. Those allegations were deemed "credible" by church officials and his name is on Davenport's list of "credibly accused" abusers.
--Fr. John C. (Fidelis) Forrester, a Benedictine, is listed on diocesan lists of the "credibly accused" in Seattle WA (2016) and Davenport IA (2008). Allegations were made against him by at least three boys. He worked at Ss. Peter and Paul church in Seneca KS and St. Benedict's Abbey in Atchison KS.

http://bishop-accountability.org/Davenport.htm#forrester
--Fr. Norman J. Rogge, a Jesuit priest, was 'outed' as credibly accused last month on the Mobile AL diocesan website. He had pleaded guilty to a sexual offense against a child in Florida in 1967, and was charged with sexual battery or lewd and lascivious act on a child in 1984 and again convicted. He worked at St. Mary's College in St. Mary's Kansas and also CT, TX, CA and LA.

http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news13/2009_01_16_TimesPicayune_FuneralNotice_Norman_Rogge_1.htm
Fr. Forrester died in 2002, Fr. Kieffer died in 1984, Fr. Rogge died in 2009 and Fr. Palmese died in 2012. As best as SNAP can tell, Frs. Maio and Sinclair are still alive.
Photos of Frs. Maio, Rogge, Palmese and Forrester, along with detailed information about all KC KS accused clerics, are available atBishopAccountability.org
2) SNAP also wants Archbishop Naumann, and all bishops, to make public the names of clerics who have sexually abused, exploited or harassed adults as well.
In 2006, the Archbishop admitted in a church newsletter that two of his priests were accused of sexual misconduct with adults.
http://issuu.com/theleaven/docs/leaven_02-26-16/7?e=17554527/33886202
--Fr. Anthony Kiplagat, who has reportedly fled back home to Kenya from his parishes in Osage City and Scranton
--Fr. George Seuferling, who faces multiple allegations, was suspended more than seven years ago, and now is reportedly being defrocked, a process that involves the Vatican and often takes years.
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news2014/05_06/2014_06_24_Judy_Star_Kansas_inappropriate.htm
SNAP suspect there are other similar offenders still in eastern Kansas parishes. The group hopes their victims will come forward soon too.

DirtFish's Colin Clark, David Evans, Lisa O'Sullivan and George Donaldson discuss the current happenings in the world of rallying and provide their insights and thoughts.
Episode 1 - Meet The Team/Rally Sweden Recap
Colin Clark, David Evans, George Donaldson and Lisa O'Sullivan talk all things rally on the newest DirtFish podcast, Spinning The Line.
Episode 2 - Rally Mexico/COVID-19 Cancelations around the world
Colin, David, Lisa and George discuss the challenges of Rally Mexico, new Aero on the Hyundais and the cancelation of motorsports events around the world.

Episode 4 - Water, Frozen Water and Suncream - the lighter side of WRC
The crew discusses some of the best moments from around the WRC.
Episode 5 - Potatoes and Planes
In the most entertaining Spinning The Line The Rally Pod yet, the team set about more of the service park's most incredible stories.
But in addition to what went on when George Donaldson was flying high over the route for Rally Argentina, you'll also get the lowdown on world rallying's finest potato - and mushroom - producers. On the subject of potatoes, we also investigate the WRC's crisp (chip if you're listening Stateside) of choice. Predictably, controversy's not far away...
Add in some Lancia team manager Ninni Russo, words about the WRC's much-missed journalistic guru David Williams (and his shoes) and the opportunity to name Colin Clark's haggis-based (and, according to GD overcooked) recipe and you've got the fifth edition of The Rally Pod.
Episode 6 - The Rise of Sebastien Ogier
The Rally Pod team are rewinding the clock in the latest episode of Spin to review the career (so far) of Six-time World Champion Sebastien Ogier. The plan was to cover the lot in one episode - but with so many tales to tell the team only managed to get as far as 2011. Oh and Colin's worried his hair may never regrow after rashly allowing his children to "cut" it.
Episode 7 - OGIER THE CHAMPION
In this edition of Spin - the Rally Pod David, George, Colin and Lisa lose track of time once again reliving the career of 6x World champion Sebastien Ogier. It turns out there's a lot more to say than "he's a really decent bloke", although that is said more than once. Download now for an extended investigation into the career of one of WRC's greatest ever drivers.
Bonus Spin - COVID-19 and its effect on Rallying
The COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak is continuing to disrupt the day-to-day affairs of millions of people around the world.
It's put a halt to the world of motorsport on the road but it hasn't stopped those in the motorsport world from doing their part to make a difference in this fight.
DirtFish reporters Colin Clark and David Evans have been hearing the stories of some members of the rally community who are trying to help.
Episode 8 - Now, that's what Derek calls the 90s Part 1
For thousands of rally fans out there Mitsubishi Ralliart was the 1990s in the World Rally Championship. And Derek Dauncey was the man in the middle of that Rugby-based Mitsubishi outfit.
In what's going to be the first of many interviews (hence this is Part 1 of Now that's what Derek calls the 1990s…), Dauncey talks DirtFish through two pivotal events for Andrew Cowan's Lancer squad. We're in 1996 for both, the first is the Safari Rally - an outstanding tale of Ralliart's first attempt at the Kenyan marathon - and the second is one of the Asia Pacific Rally Championship's most arduous journeys from Hong Kong to Beijing.
Brace yourself for test cars splitting in two and rats in your bedroom in Wuhan.
Bonus Spin - Andrea Adamo
Italian Andrea Adamo was recruited to the very top of Hyundai Motorsport at the start of 2019. In turn, in his first season in charge, he delivered the Korean manufacturer to the very top of the World Rally Championship.
His method and approach reflect the glorious Lancia-defined era in which he grew up. In a little over 12 months, he's polarised opinion in the service park. Not that he cares. His mission statement talks of winning rallies, rather than popularity contests. But his charisma is captivating. Here he talks at length to DirtFish's David Evans about – among other things – one-word answers, the bible and Brabham's BT52.

This was my first visit to Dr. Sheffey, and I could not have come away more impressed. His bed side manner was both professional and very friendly as he took the time to explain everything in detail so I was able to completely understand everything regarding my medical condition as well as the planned treatment which he clearly laid out for me. I also had the occasion to interact with three different members of the staff there and each of them were simply wonderful! Professional, charming and so very helpful and accommodating, answering all the questions I posed. Dr. Sheffey has offices both in Orland Park and in Chicago's Mt. Greenwood area, and both locations are equally convenient for me. I give my full recommendation to Dr. Sheffey and his terrific staff. Having a friendly, competent doctor with a warm, lovely staff, cannot help but make all the difference in getting through my medical hardship.
Great Doctor, explained everything thoroughly, and gave me a bunch of different options!
I had a 3:30 appt. and only had to wait 5 minutes to be seen by the doctor. Dr. Mirkovic was friendly and thoroughly addressed my concerns. I highly recommend her.
It was a bit of a wait, but the staff were really great and I really liked Dr. George.

Twelve-year-old Elfina lives with her grandmother in Paraguay. When a distant relative offers to have Elfina come live with her in the city so she can attend school, Elfina's grandmother sends her off for a better life. But life with her relatives isn't what Elfina thought it would be, and soon Elfina finds herself far away from home, living in Canada, and kept as a domestic servant by the family. School and an education are now a distant dream. When Elfina's uncle makes inappropriate advances at her, she knows she must somehow find the courage to escape and return home. But who will help her?
This slight volume packs considerable punch, laying bare the peril tens of millions of marginalized children face every day. A worthy acquisition for school and public libraries.
- Steven Thompson, Sadie Pope Dowdell Library School Library Journal
Knowledge and awareness are critical components when trying to solve any problem, and this small but powerful novel arms its readers with information which they may use to confront the issues of forced domestic labour.
- Ann Ketcheson, retired teacher CM: Canadian Review of Materials
The Courage of Elfina is an engaging tale to teach young readers about forced child labour right here in Canada.
- Montreal Review of Books
"The words and pictures interlace seamlessly: a variety of large and small panels highlight both the spatial limitations of Elfina's world and her fantasies of escape … Christine Delezenne's two—colour illustrations are filled with movement and information, as well as glimpses of Elfina's humour and cheeky resistance."
- Joanne Findon Quill and Quire
A deceptively short read that casts needed light on a dark and dehumanizing practice.
- Kirkus
The Courage of Elfina packs a big punch for a small book. I would recommend it for school and public libraries.

In Massachusetts, an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) is a civil order that temporarily prohibits the purchase and possession of firearms and ammunition by a person who poses a risk of causing bodily injury to self or others. Family or household members (including current or former spouses, persons currently or formerly residing in the same household, persons currently or formerly related by blood or marriage, persons with a child in common, persons currently or formerly in a substantive dating or engagement relationship) and the Firearm Owners Identification Card (FID) licensing authority in the respondent's town may file an ERPO petition.
During normal business hours, a petition may be filed with the clerk's office of the District Court or Boston Municipal Court. The court will schedule a hearing date that is within 10 days of the filing of the petition and order law enforcement to serve the respondent with a hearing notice. Upon receipt of the ERPO petition, the judge may issue an emergency ERPO that lasts for up to 10 days or until the ERPO hearing. An ERPO issued after a full hearing will remain in effect for up to one year.
During non-court hours, police may contact an on-call judge on behalf of themselves or another petitioner. An emergency ERPO issued during non-court hours will expire at the end of the next court day, unless the petitioner files an ERPO petition with the court before then.
In Massachusetts, residents must have an FID to legally purchase, possess, and transport most rifles, shotguns, and ammunition and a License to Carry (LTC) if they carry a firearm concealed. When the court issues a temporary or final ERPO, the respondent must surrender firearms, other weapons, ammunition, and any FID and LTC to law enforcement for the duration of the order.
Massachusetts' ERPO law, like other Extreme Risk Protection Order laws, includes due process protections to ensure fairness. Due process protections in Massachusetts' ERPO law include ex parte ERPOs issued by judicial officers; a post-deprivation hearing where the respondent is provided notice and an opportunity to participate; and the requirement of substantial and credible evidence to issue an ERPO.

Im going to Glasgow tomorrow!
A bit too happy if you ask me!
Hmmmnnn....London Marathon, why have I not done it yet?
Its such a Preet thing to do?!
So, why do I take part in the Nagar Kirtan?
To listen to the large number of dhol players!? Because I have nothing better to do on a Sunday? Maybe those alluring chollaybhaturaysamosayjalebis?! It might be a chance to meet up with my friends that I hardly get to see? I guess it's good to get out and go for a nice long walk?
Gurcharan and I found ourselves asking this question this year – why is it that we go to the Nagar Kirtan? I must admit, I have never really questioned it before now – I have just gone.
A few people I know have actually made it a point NOT to take part in the Nagar Kirtan. I find myself on the verge of doing the same.
It is a shame – there was a time I really looked forward to the Nagar Kirtan – more importantly, I actually gained something from it. Now, im not too sure.
Although, I do believe it is what you make of it, as with anything.
If I focus on the 'dodgy' bits, then I have already lost the plot. I guess with everything comes the 'dark side!'. The trick is to simply ignore the dodgy-ness and enjoy what the Nagar Kirtan has to offer.
All in all, it was nice. Got to do darshan of the Punj right at the beginning – which I have never got to do before. Poor lil mummy was half jogging half sprinting to keep up with Gurch and I. Must say it used to be much more fun with dad – my partner in crime!
If you didn't know who I am, im sure you do now.
You see, Himmat is The Yellow Pages. He knows EVERYONE! Whereas the up and coming Jatinder, Himmat's apprentice, is the Thompson Directory. Hence, landing me the new title of Jat's Bhabi!
There must have been a million people (slight exaggeration) at the Nagar Kirtan yesterday; Himmat hardly took 2 steps without bumping into someone he knew. And of course, I was introduced as……Himmat's Sister!
I remember the days when lil Himmi was a painfully shy little boy. I was always the one doing all the talking, meeting new people, actually being addressed by the name on my birth certificate.
Now, I am simply known as…Himmat's Sister.
You think maybe these two are related?!
Kira - she is so MAD!
I was making her do faces - as you can see, she was happy to oblige! hehe!
Yup! I actually eat this stuff everyday!
Watch out for dem gangstas!
You best eat your greens otherwise these nuttas gona getcha!
My lovely cute mummies being good lil girlies!

Thank you to all of our blog readers, Twitter followers, and Facebook fans for supporting Hungry Hungry Veganos over the last 1.5+ years. And thank you to those who find this blog in the future and read it. Thank you for being there when posts were plentiful and when posts were very few and far in between. HHV will remain for people to read in the future but new posts will no longer be made. HHV still gets quite a few hits each day and if it only helps one person on their journey on becoming Vegan then that is great. HHV has held a great place in my heart and it always will. I believe I can say the same about HHV for Woz as well. I could go on and on but I am just going to keep it short, I wish you all the best and thank you again for the support.
I'm sad to hear it. Hugs to both of you.
I've enjoyed your blog. Thank you, and good luck for the future.

Admission processes for 2017/2018 commence Sept 15 — JAMB
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said yesterday that the admission processes for 2017/2018 will commence on September 15 and close on January 31, 2018.
The Head of JAMB Information and Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said in Abuja that the direct entry applications for admission would close on September 15.
He explained that students could only secure admission after they might have passed through the rudiments of admission processes.
He explained the process thus: "We have come up with the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) this year.
"This entails that once candidates are admitted and the institution approves, then JAMB will approve. The information about the candidates will be keyed into CAPS automatically.
"Candidates can monitor their admission process through CAPS online and those who want to get admission letter can do so by printing such online.''
According to him, CAPS will make record gathering easy and give easy access to students to print their admission letters, among other things.
"What we are trying to do now is that we are looking at the perimeter realistically; we decided to come up with a new strategy aimed at ensuring the actual data,"he said.
Benjamin also said that the 120 minimum cut-off mark would not in any way affect the nation's educational standard negatively as being alleged by some people.
He said that the issue of the 120 cut-off mark was a policy of heads of tertiary institutions across the country, being the outcome of their policy meeting recently.
"The cut-off mark was not the decision of JAMB, but the heads of tertiary institutions at the policy meeting.
"They decided that their institutions should be allowed to determine their own cut-off point based on their own peculiarities, but nobody for whatever reason should go below 120,"he said.
Benjamin explained that the sustenance of post-UTME was a ministerial decision.
According to him, we are not opposed to the directive; we see nothing wrong with it; and our interest is to ensure that the goal of admission is achieved.
He said: "What we are all doing is to ensure that the power given to tertiary institutions is based on policies which established them.''
According to him, the important thing is for tertiary institutions to do what is right.
He noted that most tertiary institutions did not comply with the previous 180 cut-off mark that was given last year.

Chilean Service Members Prep for Peacekeeping Mission in Cyprus
In early September 2018, a new Chilean contingent will join the peacekeeping mission in Cyprus.

A contingent of 14 service members from the Chilean Army and Navy are in the final preparation stages to deploy with the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP). The officers and noncommissioned officers will be part of the 32nd Chilean contingent to support the peacekeeping mission on the Mediterranean island. They will join the Argentine Task Force and assume their official positions in Cyprus in early September.
As part of preparations, service members attended the UNFICYP 32 Pre-deployment Course at the Chilean Joint Peacekeeping Operations Center (CECOPAC, in Spanish) of the Chilean Joint Chiefs of Staff. The academic and hands-on two-week course was held at the end of June.
The course allowed the Chilean contingent—seven troops from the Navy and seven from the Army—to acquire the necessary skills to perform their duties during the six-month mission. The course kicked off with information on the conceptual framework of the United Nations, as well as background and mandate of UNFICYP. "Then, students learned about the specific operational tasks they will carry on at UNFICYP," Chilean Navy Lieutenant Commander Raúl Torres Ramos, head of CECOPAC's Faculty Department, told Diálogo.
In addition to providing an overview of the mission, the course taught blue helmets' "golden rules" and code of conduct with a focus on human rights. The course also delved on how to face specific situations, such as armed threats, reconnaissance operations, and air insertions, among others.
"The course, although prepared for deployments specific to UNFICYP, features highly trained and experienced instructors who participated in different missions worldwide," Chilean Army Lieutenant José Rojas Cotroneo, part of UNFICYP 32, told Dialogo. "We learn parameters to be able to react in any situation that might disrupt the ceasefire."
Students put what they learned to the test in a training field with simulated scenarios. CECOPAC instructors executed and supervised the activities that prepared units for deployment.
"It enables us to apply the knowledge obtained to decision-making in the field," Lt. Rojas said. "It's very important to know how to react in an unknown scenario, where any of our actions or reactions might create a situation with serious consequences."

Joint combined force
Chile's participation in the peacekeeping mission dates back to 1999, when Chilean diplomat James Holger Blair was appointed as head of UNFICYP for a year. In 2001, Chile deployed a marine with the Argentine Task Force in Cyprus as an observer and to conduct surveillance tasks in the security zone. In 2003, as a result of agreements between Chile and Argentina, a combined deployment started with a joint military force.
"The main challenges in this mission are related to operational requirements of the military contingent, as our country collaborates with the Argentine Task Force," said Chilean Army Lieutenant Colonel Javier Cuevas Leiva, chief of Information for Peacekeeping Operations of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Operations and Joint Command Department. "This transforms missions into a joint-combined work environment, which undoubtedly requires our contingent to expand their knowledge and doctrinal framework."
Established in 1964, UNFICYP seeks to put an end to the conflict between Greek and Turkish Cypriots of the Mediterranean island. Both groups dispute a 1,274-square-mile territory in the far north of Cyprus, under the control of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
For Chile, UNFICYP contributes to national projection abroad as a country actively participating in peacekeeping operations. The joint-combined character of the mission also generates unique experiences that strengthen the Chilean Armed Forces' capabilities.
"The Chilean participation in UNFICYP is very important for members of the Armed Forces," said Chilean Marine Corps First Sergeant Antonio Salas Lira, who will deploy with the 32nd contingent. "In other words, we can say that it's a 'mother' peacekeeping operation, whose goal is to provide all the humanitarian assistance the United Nations deems appropriate."
In addition to UNFICYP, Chilean service members served in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, the United Nations Mission in Colombia, and the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic. Chilean officers also took part in the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization and the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan.
"Any challenge in life demands a level of preparation and training to face it in the best way possible, and Chile's participation in UNFICYP is a way to achieve this," Lt. Rojas said. "It will allow us to make decisions based on experience, with results at the personal and professional levels, and most of all as representatives of our country."

Q: Laravel collection turns empty inside foreach loops I have 3 collections on different items that I need to show and group by date, in the blade file I loop over the dates to show these collections, but for some reason whatever the first collection is, something wrong happens with it, it shouldn't change based on the date, let's say I have two dates (2019-03, 2019-01), I end up with two different instances of the same collection, one with the data, and one without(an empty collection), even though I am calling the same variable.
The controller method:
public function index()
{
    //Retrieving the Models.
    $invoices_egp = auth()->user()->invoices()->where('paid', 1)->where('currency', 'EGP');
    $invoices_usd = auth()->user()->invoices()->where('paid', 1)->where('currency', 'USD');
    $orders = \App\Order::where('vendor_id', auth()->user()->id)->where('paid', 1);

    //Getting the different dates of these Models.
    $egp_invoices_dates = $invoices_egp->get()->map(function ($invoice) {
        return Carbon::parse($invoice->created_at)->format('Y-m');
    });
    $usd_invoices_dates = $invoices_usd->get()->map(function ($invoice) {
        return Carbon::parse($invoice->created_at)->format('Y-m');
    });
    $orders_dates = $orders->get()->map(function ($order) {
        return Carbon::parse($order->created_at)->format('Y-m');
    });

    //Getting the unique dates.
    $dates = $orders_dates->merge($usd_invoices_dates)->merge($egp_invoices_dates)->unique();

    return view('dashboard.vendor.reports.index', compact('invoices_egp', 'invoices_usd', 'orders', 'dates'));
}

The relevant part of the blade file:

    @if ( count( $dates ) )
    @foreach($dates as $date)

                                Month

                                {{ $date }}

                            Type
                            Total

                            @if(count($invoices_egp->get()))
                                Invoice in EGP
                                {{ $invoices_egp->whereYear('paid_at', \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->year)->whereMonth('paid_at', \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->month)->sum('total') }}
                            @endif

                            @if(count($invoices_usd->get()))
                                Invoice in USD
                                {{ $invoices_usd->whereYear('paid_at', \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->year)->whereMonth('paid_at', \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->month)->sum('total') * \App\ConversionRate::dollarToEGP() }}
                            @endif

                            @if(count($orders->get()))
                                Orders
                                {{ $orders->whereYear('paid_at', \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->year)->whereMonth('paid_at', \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->month)->sum('total') }}
                            @endif

    @endforeach
    @else

No Data

    @endif

Here when I loop over the $dates variable, for some reason, the $invoices_egp variable changes based on the date, even though it has got nothing to do with it, if I tried to dump $invoices_egp (which has two records with the same date 2019-01) on each loop, I am expecting to get the two records twice regardless of the date, instead I get the two records on the first loop ($date = 2019-03), and on the second loop ($date = 2019-01) I get an empty collection.
I have tried different stuff, I replaced the dates variable with a hard coded array and removed the other dates queries, nothing changes in the blade file.
What's even weirder is that if I changed the place of $invoices_egp with $invoices_usd, I get $invoices_egp rendered correctly, and the bug instead happens to the $invoices_usd variable, so whatever the first variable is, it gets messed up.
Small Update
I don;t know what's wrong yet, but as soon as I comment out this line
{{ $invoices_egp->whereYear('paid_at', \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->year)->whereMonth('paid_at', \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->month)->sum('total') }} EGP

I get the variable rendering twice correctly per each instance of the loop, which is what should happen, and this line I am commenting should not have any impact over whether the collection should be retrieved successfully or not, I hope I am making sense.
If I dump the variable over each loop, this is what I get in the first loop
Collection {#522 ▼
  #items: array:2 [▼
    0 => Invoice {#526 ▶}
    1 => Invoice {#519 ▶}
  ]
}

And this is what I get in the second loop (with the aforementioned line uncommented)
Collection {#516 ▼
  #items: []
}

Same variable, different results over a loop.

A: So apparently since I was passing a query builder instance to the view, it was actually getting changed by the foreach loop, which is something I'd never thought would happen, anyway the fix was easy at that point, just had to change the code a little, starting from here:
public function index()
{
    $invoices_egp = auth()->user()->invoices()->where(['paid' => 1, 'currency' => 'EGP'])->latest()->get();
    $invoices_usd = auth()->user()->invoices()->where(['paid' => 1, 'currency' => 'USD'])->latest()->get();
    $orders = \App\Order::where('vendor_id', auth()->user()->id)->where('paid', 1)->latest()->get();

    $egp_invoices_dates = $invoices_egp->map(function($invoice) { return Carbon::parse($invoice->paid_at)->format('Y-m'); })->unique();
    $usd_invoices_dates = $invoices_usd->map(function($invoice) { return Carbon::parse($invoice->paid_at)->format('Y-m'); })->unique();
    $orders_dates = $orders->map(function($order) { return Carbon::parse($order->paid_at)->format('Y-m'); })->unique();

    $dates = $orders_dates->merge($usd_invoices_dates)->merge($egp_invoices_dates)->unique();

    return view('dashboard.vendor.reports.index', compact('invoices_egp', 'invoices_usd', 'orders', 'dates'));
}

And in the view I just had to change the filtering queries to be like this for all 3 queries:
{{ $invoices_egp->filter(function($invoice) use ($date) { return $invoice->created_at->year == \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->year; })->filter(function($invoice) use ($date) { return $invoice->created_at->month == \Carbon\Carbon::parse($date)->month; })->sum('total') }} EGP
