Abstract: Plug-in hybrid vehicles are the most feasible approach towards significantly lowering the consumption of oil and improve fuel economy with today\'s existing technology. In Electric Power Research Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council (EPRI-NRDC) 2007 study already proved that PHEVs will reduce emissions if they are broadly adopted. However, the charging infrastructures/station become key factor in the success of prevail of PHEVs. The research of this paper is focusing the operation of the PHEV charging station with battery storage units. The battery units conserve the low price clean energy and discharge when demanded. The on-site installed photovoltaic (PV) and off-site (virtual) wind farm are the main supply of charging station to charge the battery units. The grid electricity plays an auxiliary role in the station when the renewable sources are unavailable. The drastically changing market clearing price (MCP) in the deregulation market make it possible that station participates the power trade as storage device. The paper examines the PHEVs charging trend, forecasts wind power with artificial neural network (ANN) model and MCP with the statistical model, and proposes an optimized operation for the battery storage schedule and strategy of power trading to minimize the cost of station. Analysis based on level of forecast uncertainty is utilized to evaluate the optimization.

The Jock will be celebrating it's 51st anniversary from the 7th to 13th May 2018.
Nelspruit Golf Club was founded in November 1928 and moved to its present location in 1939. The bushveld course is a Bob Grimsdell design, built among rocky outcrops of land in the suburbs of Nelspruit, and the course has a curious history. It was originally a 9-hole golf course for nearly 30 years before Grimsdell returned to complete the second nine in 1967-68. The course was left largely untouched until 1998 when Peter Matcovitch upgraded the course and the adjacent "Matumi Golf Estate" was established.
Nelspruit (Mbombela) is the capital city of the province of Mpumalanga. The city lies in the fertile valley of the Crocodile River, 330km (205.06 miles) east of Johannesburg in the hot and humid Lowveld.
The history of this beautiful, fast growing metropolitan area dates back to 1892 with the construction of a railway station up the Crocodile River valley. Built on a farm owned by the Nel family, the place Nelspruit (Nels stream) attracted traders and farmers in high profile because of the natural richness of the soil, adequate water for irrigation and a level valley floor.
Nelspruit Golf Club is famous for hosting the annual Jock of the Bushveld Festival of Golf, considered the biggest amateur tournament of its kind in the world. Started in 1968, it has grown to the extent where some 800 amateurs from far and wide play more than 2 000 rounds during a week in May.
In close proximity to the club is the Kruger National Park. This is one of the world's biggest and best-stocked game reserves, with Africa's Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) present in abundant numbers. The Malelane Gate, southern access to the Kruger Park, is about 60km (37.28 miles) away and is a must visit for both international and local visitors after their game of golf with us.
Renowned for its excellent putting surfaces, magnificent birdlife, warm hospitality and efficient service, Nelspruit Golf Club is a great golfing destination easily located off three major routes.
The Jock History
In 1967 J.J. Van Rensburg and Rip Riphagen created a new topic of conversation in the pub at the Nelspruit Golf Club – a place where most bright ideas originate. Lively discussion ensued amongst the "manne" for many a memorable evening with major contributions from Christo Basson and Ken Myers and the concept of Jock was born.
The idea was taken to Committee where it was met with very mixed feelings, however, months of pub discussions had armed the proponents of Jock with very persuasive arguments and Jock's birth became official. The first Jock was played from Thursday to Sunday and consisted of two 18 hole competitions each day with the 36 hole Lowveld Open on the Sunday. In 1969 Jock was extended to include Wednesday. It was not unusual in those early jocks for players to be called to the tee for the afternoon competition while still battling up the 18th hole of the morning round. In 1973 the tournament was changed to its present format, including the Tuesdays from 1977 and the Monday from 1981. A feature of the first Jock was the presence of Bobby Locke who entertained us with his ukulele until 4.00am on Sunday morning then curled up in the lounge and went to sleep. He was awakened for his tee off time but informed Ken Myers that he required some "hair of the dog". He duly retired to the pub for a "few" gins after which the old maestro recorded a 141 gross for the day and Ken retired to bed – for the day!
Jock has not only survived since those early days, indeed it has prospered and since 1969 the tournament has been oversubscribed each year. Currently approximately 2 000 rounds of golf are played over the week by 800 competitors and it is reputed to be the largest amateur tournament of its kind in the world.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then it speaks volumes that even with the advent of the "Barberton Daisy" the "Lalapalm", the "Kameeldoring" and numerous other similar tournaments, the Jock retains its reputation for being the best.
It is not just a golf tournament but a meeting place where friendships are made and renewed some spanning the entire 20 years.

German climate accord too soft to push for technological innovation
Maurits Kuypers
Merkel verdedigt haar klimaatplan in New York voorde Verenigde Naties, Foto Bondsregering
It was cynicism that prevailed in recent days during the debate on the German climate deal (see summary of the deal below). It is striking that it is not only the usual suspects, such as environmental organizations and activists, who are labeling the agreement too soft. This criticism has also been voiced by scientists and economists.
According to the critics, the Climate Accord is a nice try, but it does not go far enough. It is cow towing to voters and industry. The coal industry is not being blocked at all. The transition to electric vehicles is not getting underway. There are too few incentives for industry and agriculture to reduce their CO2 emissions. And … and … and …
"This is a missed opportunity," says energy expert Claudia Kemfert of the DIW economic institute in Berlin. According to her, the whole deal needs to be tightened up on all fronts. "If that doesn't happen, Germany will never achieve its CO2 targets for 2030," she tells Innovation Origins.

For example, Kemfert would like to see at least as much excise duty paid on diesel as there is on petrol. In one fell swoop, this would yield €8 billion, which could be put to good use as an investment in the railways and charging stations for electric vehicles. "Surely it is plain madness that some fossil fuels are still being subsidized." Another blunder is the stricter regulations for onshore wind turbines. "As a consequence, the potential from further development of wind energy will be marginalized."
But climate experts are most disappointed about the introduction of a CO2 tax, which is also very much a controversial issue in the Netherlands as well. The fact that Berlin is introducing this type of tax is considered by almost everyone to be commendable and sensible. "But if petrol becomes 3 cents more expensive in 2021 as a result of this tax, it won't change the behavior of motorists", says a cynical Constantin Zerger from the German environmental action group DUH in a reaction to a press release. "That's even less than the daily fluctuations at the petrol pump."
According to Kemfert, Berlin is focusing too much on the short term. The governing parties SPD, CDU and CSU are terrified that voters are turning to populist parties such as the AfD and therefore prefer to take measures that will not be as painful. A good example is the compensation that commuters receive for the CO2 tax. "How on earth do you think you can change anything that way," Kemfert wonders.

Anders Levermann from the Postdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shares this view. "This government proposal is a good example of a policy failure," he said to the German newspaper Der Spiegel. Like many other scientists, he believes that the CO2 tax should be raised substantially. This is the best and most cost-efficient way to make the transition from polluting technologies and fuels to clean ones.
Levermann: "If we want to achieve the Paris climate targets, we need a tax of at least 35 euros per tonne. Preferably more. But the Federal Government is starting with €10!" That is nowhere near enough to reduce Germany's greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 866 million tonnes to the 563 million tonnes that was agreed to in Paris.
Is there nothing positive about the climate accord? Sure there is. The direction that is being taken with the CO2 tax. Climatologists hope that things will go the same way as they did with the introduction of excise duty on petrol. There was a lot of resistance to this at first. Yet this form of taxation has now become widely accepted. The same thing should happen with the CO2 tax, due in part to how some of this revenue was returned to the public,.
One of the aspects of the Climate Accord is that wind turbines will only be allowed to be built far away from houses. As a result, the potential area where windmills may still be built will be reduced by 50%. Photo Pixabay
The most important points in the German Climate Accord are summarized as follows:
CO2 tax
The Berlin government wants to introduce fixed CO2 prices for the transport sector and energy consumption in buildings by 2021. This will be done in the form of certificates which will be sold to companies who will pass on the costs to motorists, for example. The CO2 tax will gradually be increased. A start will be made in 2021 with €10 per tonne of CO2. In 2022 this will be €20, until the price reaches €35 in 2025. If you translate that into the price of petrol, in 2021 it will amount to an additional 3 cents and in 2025 it will be 12 cents. An auction system for CO2 certificates with a minimum price of €35 and a maximum of €60 is planned from 2026 onward.
More stringent CO2 emission checks Each year, an annual assessment will be made of the extent to which CO2 emissions have been reduced in various sectors of the economy, such as agriculture and transport. If these are not enough, the relevant ministry must come up with additional measures within three months.
As of 2021, motor vehicle taxes for cars with high CO2 emissions will increase. There will also be a higher sales premium for electric vehicles with a purchase price of less than 40,000 euros. The motor vehicle tax for this price range will be lowered to 0.25 percent. As of 2023, the road tax for trucks will be more in line with CO2 emissions and will be double the current rate. Commuters will be reimbursed for the higher costs.
Rail transport must become cheaper and more efficient. For this purpose, an additional €10 billion will be invested between now and 2030, and value added tax on long-distance train tickets will be reduced from 19% to 7%.
Plane tickets will have to be at least twice as expensive as the tax that is on them. Now that means that even the cheapest ticket may not be cheaper than 30 euros. Furthermore, the airport tax is to be increased in order to finance extra investment in the railways.
Cheaper electricity
In order to avoid overcharging consumers, the environmental tax on electricity – the so-called EEG tariff which subsidizes green electricity – will be reduced by 0.25 cents per kilowatt hour of electricity by 2021. In 2022, this will drop by a further 0.25 cents and another 0.125 cents in 2023. The EEC tariff is currently 6.4 cents, which is about one fifth of the total electricity price in Germany.
Wind and solar energy
With regard to the electricity supply, a target of 60% green energy has been set for 2030. This will require more wind and solar energy. How Berlin wants to achieve this still needs to be worked out in more detail.
With regard to wind energy, Berlin has proposed stricter guidelines for onshore wind turbines. New windmills must be at least 1000 meters away from residential areas, which means that there is considerably less space available for new windmills. This must be compensated for by more offshore wind power stations. The aim is to increase capacity from 5 to 20 gigawatts by 2030.
Additionally, the subsidy limit for solar energy, which was set at 52 gigawatts, will be lifted.
An extra subsidy will be granted for making buildings energy-efficient.
Oil heating
Germany still has many old-fashioned oil heaters, especially in rural areas. This has to stop and in order to achieve this there will be a trade-in incentive of up to 40%. New oil heaters will be prohibited as of 2026.
Berlin estimates that the climate deal will result in approximately €54 billion in additional costs for the state coffers between now and 2023. That is about 1.3% of the gross domestic product (GDP).

Tea lovers in the United States will have their first chance to try New Zealand's only tea, Zealong, beginning on June 29, 2010, when Chicago Tea Garden makes it available to its retail and wholesale customers.
Zealong began in 1996 when its owners planted imported Taiwanese seedlings on their New Zealand farm. Only 130 of the original 1500 imports survived the strict 10-month quarantine period, and from these hearty plants, over 1,000,000 tea bushes now grow on Zealong's 120 acre farm.
For Chicago Tea Garden's co-owners, Tony Gebely and Erin Murphy, being the first American company to sell this exclusive tea is an exciting, but not unexpected, development. The company specializes in sourcing unique, unusual teas from around the world, including several from the collection of noted tea authority, David Lee Hoffman.
Zealong is a fresh, floral oolong with tremendous staying power: Drinkers can expect to get 8 steeps from each pot of tea brewed. Zealong is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers or sprays, and is picked and processed on a farm and tea processing facility certified as meeting the ISO22000 food safety management standard. The result is a tea that is not only delicious, but that is unmatched for purity.
Zealong Oolong will be available for sale on Chicago Tea Garden's website beginning June 28, 2010.The Chicago Tea Garden also welcomes wholesale inquiries from retailers.

Common Hawaiian Funeral Songs
Hawaiian Funeral Songs About Family
Hawaiian Funeral Songs About Saying Goodbye
Where we live and where our family came from can really shape the way we react to death and the way we honor people who have passed away. A Hawaiian funeral, for example, may look quite different than a funeral on the mainland does. Hawaiian funerals might feature traditional dancing like the hula. It may showcase features to Hawaiian gods and ancestors. It may even feature a paddle out ceremony if the deceased was a surfer.
And finally, you may hear traditional Hawaiian songs played. We reached out to several Hawaiian people to learn more about what songs you might expect to hear at a Hawaiian funeral.
COVID-19 tip: If you're hosting a Zoom funeral using a service like GatheringUs, test your audio before the ceremony so you can anticipate any day-of-the-funeral issues.
If you're planning a funeral, you've probably gone through lists of all the best funeral songs of all time. But if you want to pay homage to the deceased's Hawaiian roots, there are some classic Hawaiian funeral songs you should include on a funeral program:
1. "Kanaka WaiWai" by Mark Yamanaka
This song was written in 1915 by John Almeida. It was actually written for a Mormon church in Honolulu based on the parable from Matthew 19:16-24.
But the church thought it sounded too much like a traditional hula song. Even so, it quickly grew in popularity in Hawaii and remains one of the state's most enduring funeral songs.
2. "Hawai'i Aloha" by Doug and Sandy McMaster
This anthem was originally written by Reverend Lorenzo Lyons in the late 1800s. It was actually in contention to become the official state song of Hawaii. Even though it isn't the national anthem, it is still played at important events.
Many political meetings feature attendees gathering in a circle with joined and raised hands to sing this song. And of course, it is often a noted funeral song.
3. "Majesty" by Valley Boys
Looking at the lyrics of this song, you could absolutely think this is just a standard Christian hymn. But this version by the Valley Boys is quintessentially Hawaiian. The mellow tempo of this tune is carried in on the breeze from a guitar and ukelele. Meanwhile, the delicate twang of their voices has an almost country and western feel. Also, look for the cover by Moke Boy.
4. "Na Kaona o Ke Aloha o Ka Haku" by Lili'uokalani
Lili'uokalani was a beloved Hawaiian leader whose words are still revered to this day. This song (which literally translates to "The Queen's Prayer") was written for her niece about the importance of forgiveness.
5. "Lei Hali'a" by Keali'i Reichel
This gentle ballad celebrates the natural beauty of Hawaii. The lyrics compare Lanihuli to an altar and talk about the fragrance of flowers wafting in on the Kona winds. That kind of specific imagery really grounds this traditional Hawaiian funeral song.
In the Hawaiian language, the word ohana translates to family. The Disney movie Lilo & Stitch was set in Hawaii and much of the movie is about taking care of your family, whether you were born into it or just happened to find it.
The quote, "Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten," adds a lot of poignancy to the film. These songs are a beautiful way to pay tribute to a beloved family member.
6. "'Ekolu Mea Nui" by Dennis Pavao
This song dates back to approximately 1925. It was written by Robert J.K. Nawahine for a ho'ike (also known as a celebration or exhibition) for a Congregational church in Maui. It was based on 1 Corinthians 13:13 and talks about the importance of familial relationships. This is a popular song at Hawaiian funerals.
7. "Aloha 'Oe" by Lili'uokalani
This song was actually written by Lili'uokalani who was then the Princess of the Hawaiian Kingdom. She would go on to be the last sovereign monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Lili'uokalani wrote the song in 1878.
She wrote it after witnessing a tender farewell embrace between Colonel James Harbottle Boyd and a young woman in their party. Its tune was modeled after another song, "The Lone Rock by the Sea." The wistful and nostalgic lyrics make it a perfect song for a family member's funeral.
8. "I'll Remember You" by Mākaha Sons of Niʻihau
This Oahu-based musical group originally formed back in 1976. Many members have come in and left over the years, including Hawaiian music superstar Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
This poignant song features a gentle melody that helps you feel as though you're being rocked on gentle waves. It's a lovely song to play for people who have come together to celebrate the life of a family member.
9. "Hawai'i Pono'i" by Tai Manu-Olevau
This song served as Hawaii's national anthem in the 19th century, back in the days when it was still a sovereign kingdom. King David Kalakaua wrote the words set to music done by his royal bandmaster, Captain Henri Berger. It is now the state song of Hawaii (chosen over the earlier-mentioned "Aloha 'Oe").
You can hear it played during many important occasions like sporting events and even funerals. Its lyrics, which focus heavily on the children of a nation remaining loyal to it, make it ideal for a family funeral.
10. "Wanting Memories" by Keal'li Reichel
This lovely song tells the story of someone remembering growing up in the arms of an older family member who valued them. Now they reminisce about seeing the world with that person once more. This song would be perfect at the funeral for a parent, grandparent, or another respected elder.
The word aloha can be used to say both hello and goodbye. But its meaning goes so much deeper than a simple greeting can convey. The literal translation of aloha is actually "the presence of divine breath." This paints a bigger picture of how much meaning one simple word can hold.
These Hawaiian funeral songs also give us a new perspective on saying goodbye.
11. "Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
This song was originally from the soundtrack of The Wizard of Oz. But this cover by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole has become popular at Hawaiian funerals as well as mainstream ones. The sounds of his ukelele brought native flavor to an already well-loved tune, and his emotional voice is perfect in a funeral setting.
12. "The Prayer (Hawaiian Version)" by Ho'okena and Maila Gibson
This song was an international hit when performed by the likes of Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion.
But this understated cover is especially popular at funerals in Hawaii. The soothing harmonies in this cover have even been translated into the native Hawaiian language. This is a great example of a song that has been given new life and really infused with Hawaiian culture.
13. "Hawaiian Funeral Song" by Bob Faber
This instrumental easy listening song is clearly influenced by Hawaiian music. Because the song doesn't have any lyrics, it's possible for the listeners to attach their own meaning to the song. The title, tone, and lack of words make this the ideal funeral song.
14. "Iesū No Ke Kahuhipa" by Kekapa Lee
"Iesū No Ke Kahuhipa" translates to "Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us." This religious song would be perfect at a church funeral in Hawaii. It would be especially appropriate for saying goodbye to a church or community leader.
15. "Is This Life?" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (also known as Bruddah Iz) was well-known outside of his native Hawaii. But his love for his state was unparalleled. His love for the state was relatable to other Hawaiian residents who continue to support his work long after his death. This is just one of many of Bruddah Iz's songs that might be played at a funeral.
These Traditional Hawaiian Songs Send a Loved One Off in Style
Almost 63 percent of Hawaiians are Christian. Some Native Hawaiians, however, worship many traditional gods. Some Hawaiian funerals will look just like a traditional church funeral anywhere else. But others might include older sacred elements, like washing the body in saltwater or burying bones.
Even with different belief systems, there are certain songs you can expect to hear at a Hawaiian funeral. Any of these songs would be at home during an island funeral.

Stowell Park Estate is a  historic agricultural and sporting estate in the Cotswold Hills, Gloucestershire, England. The estate includes the village of Yanworth. The main house is a Grade II* listed building and surrounded by extensive parkland, a mill, and church. The landscaped park is listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

History
The house was built around 1600 for Robert Atkinson, on the site of a previous house. The manor is first recorded in 1086 when it was held by the Archbishop of York.  The house is Grade II* listed. The Church of St Leonard was the chapel for the owners of the previous house, having been built in the 12th century. The church has been described as "of very great interest, as it contains quite well-preserved fragments of twelfth-century wall-paintings". The estate was passed to relatives of Atkinson until 1685 when it was bought by John Grubham Howe whose descendants owned the estate until 1811 when it was bought by the judge William Scott. He took the title of Baron Stowell from the estate when raised to the peerage upon the coronation of George IV in 1821. On his death in 1824 the estate was inherited by his brother John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon and passed down through the family until sold in 1923 to 1st Lord Vestey, whose  great-great grandson William Vestey, 4th Lord Vestey, is the current head of the family and Chairman of the Vestey Group. During World War II Stowell Park was used for evacuees from Great Ballard School.

Architecture
The main house is "L" shaped. The west front is Elizabethan and has five bays as does the north front. Each is surmounted by hipped and crenellated roofs. The west front includes a door with paired Roman Doric pilasters. The current main entrance on the south front was added in the 19th century. The drawing room has panelling remaining from the 16th century.

Within the grounds is a 17th-century dovecote. The former mill powered by water from the River Coln was built in the late 18th century. The Lodge, iron gates and gate piers at the eastern entrance to the estate were added in the late 19th century, when balustrades and steps were added between the house and the lawns.  The stable block, which was probably designed by Sir John Belcher, was also added in the late 19th century.

Grounds
The grounds include terraced lawns with surrounding herbaceous borders. There are walled gardens containing fruit and flower beds. It is opened for the National Gardens Scheme each year. The landscaped park is listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The estate hosts shoots for pheasants. It has also been the home of a polo team with one of the players being the Argentine born Héctor Barrantes.

Q: Call evaluateJavascript from a SwiftUI button Assume you have this WKWebView implementation:
import Combine
import SwiftUI
import WebKit

class WebViewData: ObservableObject {
    @Published var parsedText: NSAttributedString? = nil

    var isInit = false
    var shouldUpdateView = true
}

struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {
    let text: String
    @ObservedObject var data: WebViewData

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
        context.coordinator.view.navigationDelegate = context.coordinator
        return context.coordinator.view
    }

    func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
        guard data.shouldUpdateView else {
            data.shouldUpdateView = false
            return
        }

        let html = """
            <html>
                <head>
                    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
                    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
                </head>
                <body>
                    \(text)

                <script>
                    let isScrolling = false;
                    let timer;

                    function toggleScrolling() {
                        if(!isScrolling) {
                            timer = setInterval(function() {
                                window.scrollBy(0, 1);
                            }, \(80 / autoScrollVelocity));
                        } else {

                        isScrolling = !isScrolling;
                    }
                </script>
                </body>
            </html>
        """

        uiView.loadHTMLString(html, baseURL: nil)
    }

    func makeCoordinator() -> WebViewCoordinator {
        return WebViewCoordinator(view: self)
    }
}

class WebViewCoordinator: NSObject, WKNavigationDelegate {
    let view: WebView

    init(view: WebView) {
        self.view = view

        super.init()
    }

    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            if !self.view.data.isInit {
                self.view.data.isInit = true
                // useless text parsing here...
            }
        }
    }
}

in this view
import SwiftUI

struct ReadingView: View {
    @ObservedObject var webViewData = WebViewData()
    private let text: String

    init(text: String?) {
        self.text = text ?? "Sorry, this reading is empty"
    }

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("Auto scroll") {
                ??????
            }
            WebView(title: self.title, text: self.text, data: self.webViewData)
        }
        .onReceive(self.webViewData.$parsedText, perform: { parsedText in
            if let parsedText = parsedText {
               print(parsedText)
            }
        })
    }
}

Now, in the button with label Auto scroll, how is it possible to call the javascript inside the html toggleScrolling() (or moving this code in a WKUserScript if necessary)? I'm pretty lost here.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion

A: I'm going to address the question itself (calling evaluateJavascript from a SwiftUI button) and not necessarily the javascript itself (your toggleScrolling function), which I haven't tested.
I think this is a great opportunity to use Combine (which means you have to make sure to import Combine at the top of your file) to pass messages between the views through the ObservableObject you have set up.
Here's the final code (I had to change a few minor things about the original that wouldn't compile):

class WebViewData: ObservableObject {
    @Published var parsedText: NSAttributedString? = nil

    var functionCaller = PassthroughSubject<Void,Never>()

    var isInit = false
    var shouldUpdateView = true
}

struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {
    let text: String
    @StateObject var data: WebViewData

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
        let webview = WKWebView()
        webview.navigationDelegate = context.coordinator
        return webview
    }

    func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
        guard data.shouldUpdateView else {
            data.shouldUpdateView = false
            return
        }

        context.coordinator.tieFunctionCaller(data: data)
        context.coordinator.webView = uiView

        let html = """
            <html>
                <head>
                    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
                    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
                </head>
                <body>
                    \(text)

                <script>
                    function doAlert() { document.body.innerHTML += "hi"; }
                </script>
                </body>
            </html>
        """

        uiView.loadHTMLString(html, baseURL: nil)
    }

    func makeCoordinator() -> WebViewCoordinator {
        return WebViewCoordinator(view: self)
    }
}

class WebViewCoordinator: NSObject, WKNavigationDelegate {
    var parent: WebView
    var webView: WKWebView? = nil

    private var cancellable : AnyCancellable?

    init(view: WebView) {
        self.parent = view
        super.init()
    }

    func tieFunctionCaller(data: WebViewData) {
        cancellable = data.functionCaller.sink(receiveValue: { _ in
            self.webView?.evaluateJavaScript("doAlert()")
        })
    }

    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            if !self.parent.data.isInit {
                self.parent.data.isInit = true
                // useless text parsing here...
            }
        }
    }
}

struct ReadingView: View {
    @StateObject var webViewData = WebViewData()
    var text : String

    init(text: String?) {
        self.text = text ?? "Sorry, this reading is empty"
    }

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button("Call javascript") {
                webViewData.functionCaller.send()
            }
            WebView(text: text, data: webViewData)
        }
        .onReceive(webViewData.$parsedText, perform: { parsedText in
            if let parsedText = parsedText {
               print(parsedText)
            }
        })
    }
}

What happens?

*

*There's a PassthroughSubject on WebViewData that doesn't take an actual value (it just takes Void) that is used to send a signal from the SwiftUI view to the WebViewCoordinator.

*The WebViewCoordinator subscribes to that publisher and runs evaluateJavasscript. In order to do this, it has to have a reference to the WKWebView, which you can see I pass along in updateUIView

*You weren't actually returning a WKWebView in makeUIView (or maybe you were but the simplified code for the question had mangled it a bit)

Uber credentials of thousands of users were spotted for sale on an underground marketplace for as low as $1 per stolen username and password.
According to a report by Ars Technica, the logins are being offered by two separate vendors on AlphaBay – an online black market operating on the Tor network.
One seller reported more than 100 Uber accounts had already been purchased, letting buyers order free rides with the account's payment information on file, as well as access to the user's trip history, email address, phone number and other location information.
The transportation company also added the instance was a good opportunity to remind people to use strong and unique usernames and passwords, and to avoid reusing the same credentials across multiple sites and services.
"The amount of data available on underground forums and markets is reaching horrifying levels, simply because there are data sets that nobody knows where they came from," said Tripwire Senior Security Analyst Ken Westin.
Westin said the evident value in this data is likely making cyber criminals and syndicates work around the clock to identify weaknesses in email, social media, loyalty programs and other sources.
"Many times these logins and passwords are shared across multiple systems – hackers are well aware of this and will test what other systems they can access with a compromised data set," he added.
Westin suggests this may be the case with Uber, where the data may have been compromised from another data set. As long as the logins are shared, fraudsters are able to access a higher value target using the same credentials.

Wieleśnica (błr. Велясніца; ros. Велесница) – wieś na Białorusi, w rejonie pińskim obwodu brzeskiego, około 21 km na północny zachód od Pińska, nad Jasiołdą.

Historia
Pierwsza wzmianka o Wieleśnicy pochodzi z 1503 roku, gdy właściciel obszernych tutejszych dóbr, piński kniaź Teodor Jarosławicz podarował "dworzyszcze" w Wieleśnicy Mikołajowi albo Teodorowi Szczepie. Ostatni z Jarosławiczów zapisał swe pińskie dobra królowi Zygmuntowi Staremu, a ten przekazał je swojej żonie, królowej Bonie. Bona potwierdziła w 1524 roku Szczepie własność dworu. Od połowy XVII wieku dobra te były własnością jezuitów pińskich. Około 1780 roku majątek ten (oraz sąsiedni Chłożyn) kupił gen. Piotr Antoni Twardowski. Ożeniwszy się z Felicją z Ordów, osiadł tu na stałe i zajął się gospodarstwem. Kolejnym dziedzicem był jego syn Józef (1786–1840), rektor Uniwersytetu Wileńskiego w latach 1823–1825, a po nim – jego syn Kazimierz (1813–1886), następnie – syn Kazimierza, Piotr, zmarły przed I wojną światową. Ostatnimi właścicielami dóbr byli synowie Piotra, Stefan i Kazimierz. W latach 90. XIX wieku majątek liczył 1808 dziesięcin.

Wieś duchowna położona była w końcu XVIII wieku w powiecie pińskim województwa brzeskolitewskiego.

Po II rozbiorze Polski w 1793 roku Wieleśnica znalazła się na terenie guberni mińskiej Imperium Rosyjskiego.

Po ustabilizowaniu się granicy polsko-radzieckiej w 1921 roku Wieleśnica znalazła się na terenie Polski, należała do gminy Porzecze w powiecie pińskim województwa poleskiego, od 1945 roku – w ZSRR, od 1991 roku – na terenie Republiki Białorusi.

W czerwcu 1944 roku Niemcy zniszczyli większość wiejskich zabudowań. Obecnie we wsi istnieje wiejski dom kultury, biblioteka, sklep i łaźnia.

Dawny dwór
Generał Piotr Twardowski zbudował tu jeden z największych dworów na Pińszczyźnie. Był to parterowy, drewniany, siedemnastoosiowy klasycystyczny, bardzo długi dom na planie prostokąta. W jego centralnej frontowej części znajdował się portyk, którego trójkątny szczyt był podtrzymywany przez sześć kolumn (i dwie kolumny boczne). Wnętrze było dwutraktowe, w środkowej części amfiladowe, z reprezentacyjnymi pokojami od strony parku.

Przed dworem był rozległy gazon, z boku stała parterowa oficyna, również z kolumnowym portykiem. Ogród, z tyłu domu, schodził do Jasiołdy, często opanowanej przez bobry. Wokół był park krajobrazowy.

W czasie I wojny światowej przez majątek przeszedł front. Dwór został spalony z całą jego zawartością około 1917 roku. Kilka uratowanych dzieł sztuki i pozycji z archiwum przepadło w czasie II wojny światowej. Dwór nie został odbudowany.

Majątek w Wieleśnicy jest opisany w 2. tomie Dziejów rezydencji na dawnych kresach Rzeczypospolitej Romana Aftanazego.

Un residu o fracció en química és un producte d'un procés de fraccionament.

Una destil·lació, per exemple, produeix una fracció pesant, o residu, i una fracció lleugera, o destil·lat. Dins una mescla azeotròpica, que és el cas més freqüent, la composició de cada fracció depèn únicament d'aquella de la mescla inicial, de la temperatura d'ebullició d'aquesta mescla. Per obtenir una composició més lleugera, cal fer una nova destil·lació del destil·lat i de forma inversa sobre el residu.

The local bourse has fallen 0.6 per cent to a 3 day low as investors again focus on the threat of a trade war. While global markets rose yesterday, Australian shares have retreated this morning after reports the Trump administration is preparing for another round of tariffs on Chinese goods worth $200 billion. The move comes after the United States imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Chinese goods worth $34 billion last Friday. Most Australian sectors are down with the exceptions of consumer discretionary, while energy and Materials are also higher on the back of higher commodity prices overnight. Miners BHP and Rio Tinto are both up by around 1.4 per cent. Major banks are down amid worries about regulatory pressures before a speech by APRA Chair Wayne Byres today.
The iron ore price futures are pointing to a fall of 1.1 per cent.
Australian consumer confidence jumped 3.9 percent in July Its the highest reading in over four years. Possibly spurred on by income tax cuts delivered by the Federal government.

Here is a project I created with Prima's new Debutante collection.
This time its a tag using Julie Nutting's Armour tag as a base.
I used one of the Julie Nutting Armoire tags to create an interactive tag with the Debutante collection. Debutante has a lot of images of vintage dresses which were perfect for the theme. I fussy cut one of the dresses from one of the A4 pages. Then I cut the Armoire closet doors so they could open to reveal the dress. I added a junkyard finding door lock to enhance the illusion of a real armoire door.
The armoire tag opens up to reveal a dress fussy cut out of one of the Debutante papers.
The angle of the picture below makes it seem as if the armoire door is not there but believe me its just the angle.
Prima released two new beautiful collections this month Garden Fable and Debutante.
I love to play with the pin/spin feature on the Prima Blog. I saw this cute nursery room and fell in love with the branches, the birds, the quote and the colours!!
My daughter loves all animals and birds are no exception. Whenever we are out and about we always need to stop and feed the birds or pet a dog. This time she was feeding some pigeons and they were getting very close to her. She loved every minute of it.
I used the new Debutante collection for this photo as it matched the colours perfectly. The distressed background was perfect to build a layered layout over it.

The functional response is the relationship between the feeding rate of an animal and its food density. It is reliant on two basic parameters; the volume searched for prey per unit time (searching rate) and the time taken to consume each prey item (handling time). As fish functional responses can be difficult to determine directly, it may be more feasible to measure their underlying behavioural parameters in controlled conditions and use these to predict the functional response. Here, we tested how accurately a Type II functional response model predicted the observed functional response of roach Rutilus rutilus, a visually foraging fish, and compared it with Type I functional response. Foraging experiments were performed by exposing fish in tank aquaria to a range of food densities, with their response captured using a two-camera videography system. This system was validated and was able to accurately measure fish behaviour in the aquaria, and enabled estimates of fish reaction distance, swimming speed (from which searching rate was calculated) and handling time to be measured. The parameterised Type II functional response model accurately predicted the observed functional response and was superior to the Type I model. These outputs suggest it will be possible to accurately measure behavioural parameters in other animal species and use these to predict the functional response in situations where it cannot be observed directly. © 2013 The Authors.

Days ago Marc Alexis Cote (DLC creative director) said that this DLC will be canonic and it will connect AC3 with the next game, despite of being a parallel universe.
How a parallel universe could influence in the main storyline?
My theory is that it's gonna be a Connor's nightmare where he will see how Washington obtains an Apple of Eden and becomes tyrant. So when Connor wakes up, he will be very worried and decide to visit Washington. When he reunites with George, Connor notices that Washington just find a "brilliant metalic ball", so Connor decides to take the Apple, avoiding that GW becomes tyrant as in his dream. When Connor takes the Apple, this react to his ADN and begin to glow. He receives a message like this: "Find Jupiter's temple". In that moment is showed a map that point to France (Notre Dame was built over an ancient roman temple meant to worship of Jupiter). Finding that temple will be important to defeat Juno. So Connor decide travel to France and participing the French Revolution!!!

Q: Which HTTP status code to return if there is no data found from database in Rest Api call Well I have an microservice that is developed in spring boot and it call to an external database to fetch the results but now sometimes it does not able to fetch the results from external database as the database itself does not have data because there is a selective query fired from microservice to fetch the results from database , so in these conditions which correct http status code I should return , shall I return http status code 204. Please advise.

A:
shall I return http status code 204

My current thought is "probably not".  The specification of 204 No Content includes this remark:

The 204 response allows a server to indicate that the action has been successfully applied to the target resource, while implying that the user agent does not need to traverse away from its current "document view" (if any).

In cases where you have a GET request that returns an empty document, I prefer a 200 OK with Content-Length 0.
The choice of 2xx vs 4xx comes down to what information you are including in the response-body: in the case of GET, if you are returning a representation of the resource, then you should be returning a 200.  If you are returning a document that describes an error, you should return one of the 4xx codes.
Which of these is the right answer will depend on your resource model.  It's perfectly reasonable for a search to return no results; in that case, returning a representation of an empty result set would call for a 200.  If the absence of data means (semantics) that the requested resource doesn't exist (or more precisely, doesn't have a current representation) then you should return a 404.
REST doesn't tell you which of these is "right" - it just gives us a common language for describing the alternative we have chosen in a way that general purpose components can understand what is going on.


Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum showed this week that he wants to remain a force in Florida politics despite being edged by Republican Ron DeSantis in last year's gubernatorial campaign.
Gillum held an event at Florida Memorial University (FMU) on Wednesday night, teasing a big announcement. While there had been speculation that he could enter the crowded 2020 Democratic presidential primary field, Gillum slammed that door and announced that he was leading a new group called "Bring it Home Florida" which will focus on voter registration just in time for the 2020 presidential election.
Gillum is clearly going to work with the Florida Democratic Party (FDP) on getting more voters registered as they look to beat Trump in the Sunshine State. On Wednesday, the Florida Democrats announced plans to spend $2 million to register 200,000 new voters.
"In order to register 200,000 voters in the next year, FDP will be investing in technology and advanced data models, expanding its field staff by hiring dozens of full-time organizers across the state, and making large investments in our county Democratic party infrastructure," said FDP Executive Director Juan Peñalosa.
After Gillum's announcement on Wednesday night, Rizzo cheered the former gubernatorial candidate.
Gillum was also named to the board of liberal group American Bridge on Thursday, joining former Govs. Jennifer Granholm, D-Mich., and Ed Rendell, D-Penn.
The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) came out swinging at Gillum on Thursday.
The RPOF maintained that Gillum's effort was about "sabotaging President Trump in Florida" and bashed the Democrat for embracing a "radical socialist agenda" in his gubernatorial campaign.
Gillam should do his job as Tallahassee mayor and clean up the crime that has exploded on his watch! Is he still being investigated for his shady dealings? Gillam should work half as long and hard as our President Trump and maybe Tallahassee , home to Florida State University , would once again be a safe place to send our kids to college. What a loser!

Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, recently spoke out about his opposition towards The Barclay's Center. In the interview he addresses his feelings towards fellow Brooklynite and minority owner of the Nets, Jay-Z, stating he does not want his comments to be seen as an attack.
Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, has never been shy to speak out about socio-political situations, even if they don't directly affect him. Recently the rapper shared his opinion on the new Barlcays Center in Brooklyn, New York, through a poem titled "On center.stadium.status." Now during an interview with Vulture, he expands on his viewpoint and attitude from the poem.
The artist formerly known as Mos Def explained the economic and demeaning effects the stadium has had on his hometown, where his 93-year-old grandmother has lived for 70 years. He also discussed the monetary issues, saying, "People lost their homes, people lost their business. Triangle Sports...been there 100 years...they gotta go! The Drake lyric, "Money over everything," I just don't agree with that as a business process or a worldview or anything." He added, "I was concerned about what the stadium's presence in the community might do."
Bey also commented on Jay-Z, a part owner of the Brooklyn Nets, explaining he did not mean the poem to be a form of disrespect towards him.
"I was pretty hesitant to have it (the poem) published...I didn't want it to be misconstrued as some sort of personal attack on Jay...I have great respect for him..." Bey explained, "I'm from the town too...If I can't have an opinion, who can?"
Nonetheless,, Bey elaborated on where the stadium could have been built instead, such as Coney Island. He also felt Barclays did not display any humanitarian efforts this past fall during Hurricane Sandy, believing they should have done more to help.
"Brooklyn Tech was the hosting place for the elderly people that had to leave their nursing homes...and it was volunteers out there helping...I would have loved to see Barclays as a bus shelter even, for people waiting for the bus during Sandy. I would have loved to see that!" Bey continued, "It can be a source of good, not just entertainment and commerce."

What did Brutus tell Ceasar as he aired him out?


The wearable power bracelet can catch and change energy from human movement into electrical power and shop it in MXene supercapacitors to drive various sensing units.
Autonomy is a much-anticipated function of next-generation microsystems, such as remote sensing units, wearable electronic devices, implantable biosensors and nanorobots. KAUST scientists led by Husam Alshareef, Jr-Hau He and Khaled Salama have actually established little standalone gadgets by incorporating maintenance-free power systems that produce and utilize their own fuel rather of depending on an external source of power ¹, ².
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) catch power from their environments, such as vibrations and random movement produced by people, and transform it into electrical power. In these small generators, frictional contact in between products of various polarity produces oppositely charged surface areas. Repetitive friction triggers electrons to hop in between these surface areas, leading to electrical voltage.
" We exploited this triboelectric impact to collect energy from basic motions, such as hand clapping, finger tapping and regular hand movement, to drive various kinds of sensing units," states Alshareef.
The scientists have actually established a self-powered photodetector by coupling the silicone-based polymer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a TENG with a product called organometallic halide perovskite ¹. The lead-halide-based product functions optoelectronic homes that are preferable in solar batteries and light-emitting diodes.
To simplify their style and get rid of the requirement for a movement actuator, He's group made the photodetector utilizing 2 multilayered polymer-based sheets separated by a little space. One sheet consisted of the perovskite ultrathin movie while the other included a PDMS layer. The space permitted the group to harness the triboelectric impact when the gadget was triggered by finger tapping.
" The self-powered gadget revealed exceptional responsiveness to event light, specifically when exposed to light of low strength", states Mark Leung, the lead author of the photodetector research study. Due to the fact that of its versatile and transparent polymer parts, it likewise maintained its efficiency after being bent 1,000 times and despite the orientation of the event light.
Pressing the limits even more, the scientists crafted a wearable self-powered bracelet that can save the transformed power by integrating a carbon-fiber-embedded silicone nanogenerator with MXene microsupercapacitors ².
They integrated nanogenerator and miniaturized electrochemical capacitors into a single monolithic gadget enclosed in silicone rubber. The leak-proof and elastic shell offered a versatile and soft bracelet that completely complied with the body. Changes in the skin– silicone separation changed the charge balance in between electrodes, triggering the electrons to recede and forth throughout the TENG and the microsupercapacitor to charge up.
In addition to displaying longer cycle life and brief charging time, MXene microsupercapacitors can collect more energy in a provided location than thin-film and micro-batteries, providing faster and more reliable small energy storage systems for TENG-generated electrical power. When active, the bracelet can utilize the kept energy to run numerous electronic gadgets, such as watches and thermometers.
" Our supreme objective is to establish a self-powered sensing unit platform for individualized health tracking," states Ph.D. trainee Qiu Jiang, the lead author of the self-charging band task. The group is now preparing to present sensing units into the system to identify biomarkers in human sweat.
Chinese companies apparently broke an international ozone agreement. What happens next?

With views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco's Marina district is among the most beautiful neighborhoods in the world, and now boasts another attraction: a luxe medical cannabis dispensary.
The Apothecarium on Lombard, which opens at noon on July 26, is no Summer of Love head shop. Its marble counters, velvet chairs, crystal chandelier and slate-colored walls lend a modern, yet Victorian vibe. The six-figure interiors by Urban Chalet with Vincent Gonzaga as project manager are also wheelchair-friendly.
It's the third in the Apothecarium group, after its first in the Castro (recently named by Architectural Digest as the best-designed dispensary in the U.S.) and a second in Las Vegas. Housed in a former Thai restaurant, the dispensary was three years in the making, due in large part to neighborhood opposition to a shop selling medical cannabis and cannabis-infused edibles.
Take an exclusive sneak peek into the area's first medical marijuana dispensary.
"We asked our design team to create an environment that would put first-time cannabis patients at ease as soon as they come into the building," said Ryan Hudson, a company co-founder and executive director, in a statement. First visits often take an hour for education about dosage and types of products to ingest.
Despite the legalization of recreational use by the passage of Prop. 64, the Apothecarium is not a tourist destination just yet. Medical recommendations are required for entry. But as the first dispensary north of Post Street and south of the city of Fairfax, its location just might make it popular in another way: as Marin County's best new medical cannabis dispensary — depending on traffic, of course.
For a sneak peek at the interiors, click through the photo gallery above.

This is good , its a start for developing a vantage point.
gratitude is good , but sometimes one does not feel that (do people that had everyting right in their life always feel gratitude ?).
true growth is having a bigger say a bigger mental emotional and experiential room.
when a culture grow it is said to be wealthy , to have a perspective , a vantage point.
every man is a new culture , a civilasation , his own superpower , a humanity on their own.
There are two humanities one has to contend with ; his self , and the rest of the world's.
If the world's humanity had many set backs mistakes and problems , and still want from nothing to all that it is today ; then surely one's self can do just as well.

The Slip 5-2-3 - This is a great counter punch combination, and it builds on our previous weeks two strike combination (The Slip 5-2). This one adds a vicious hook to the combo... make the guy miss and then hit him with three murder shots. This video also introduces you to the concept of juggling heads.
No disrespect, & I love the videos, but most of those were not uppercuts, they were shovel hooks, & without gloves, look like a 'hope to smash my hand on his elbow' punch.
Well, what kind of idiot punches someone in the elbow without doing something to make the guy move his elbow first. Do you punch elbows, Brad? If you want to come straight up the middle, just redirect the punch straight up the middle.

Q: Oracle SQL Replace multiple characters in different positions I'm using Oracle 11g and I'm having trouble replacing multiple characters based on positions mentioned in a different table. For example:
Table 1
PRSKEY POSITION CHARACTER
  123     3         ć
  123     9         ć

Table 2
PRSKEY   NAME
  123   Becirovic

I have to replace the NAME in Table 2 to Bećirović.
I've tried regexp_replace but this function doesn't provide replacing more then 1 position, is there an easy way to fix this?

A: Here's another way to do it.
with tab1 as (select 123 as prskey, 3 as position, 'ć' as character from dual
            union select 123, 9, 'ć' from dual),
     tab2 as (select 123 as prskey, 'Becirovic' as name from dual)
select listagg(nvl(tab1.character, namechar)) within group(order by lvl)
from
  (select prskey, substr(name, level, 1) as namechar, level as lvl
    from tab2
    connect by level <= length(name)
  ) splitname
left join tab1 on position = lvl and tab1.prskey = splitname.prskey
;

A: I would prefer approach via PL/SQL, but in your tag only 'sql', so I made this monster:
with t as (
  select 123 as id, 3 as pos, 'q' as new_char from dual
  union all
  select 123 as id, 6 as pos, 'z' as new_char from dual
  union all
  select 123 as id, 9 as pos, '1' as new_char from dual
  union all
  select 456 as id, 1 as pos, 'A' as new_char from dual
  union all
  select 456 as id, 4 as pos, 'Z' as new_char from dual
),
t1 as (
  select 123 as id, 'Becirovic' as str from dual
  union all
  select 456 as id, 'Test' as str from dual
)
select listagg(out_text) within group (order by pos)
from(
  select id, pos, new_char, str, prev, substr(str,prev,pos-prev)||new_char as out_text
  from(
    select id, pos, new_char, str, nvl(lag(pos) over (partition by id order by pos)+1,1)  as prev
    from (
      select t.id, pos, new_char, str
      from t, t1
      where t.id = t1.id
    ) q
  ) a
) w
group by id

Result:
Beqirzvi1
AesZ

A: Simple solution using cursor ...
create table t1 (
  prskey int,
  pos int,
  character char(1)
);

create table t2
(
  prskey int,
  name varchar2(100)
);

insert into t1 values (1, 1, 'b');
insert into t1 values (1, 3, 'e');

insert into t2 values (1, 'dear');

begin
  for t1rec in (select * from t1) loop
    update t2
    set name = substr(name, 1, t1rec.pos - 1) || t1rec.character || substr(name, t1rec.pos + 1, length(name) - t1rec.pos)
    where t2.prskey = t1rec.prskey;
  end loop;
end;
