Q: Creating constants for paths and links in Angular? Everywhere throughout my website we got links and paths.
http://localhost:3001/controllers/getUsers
http://localhost:3001/controllers/getHouses

http://localhost:8080/assets/img/mypic.png
http://localhost:8080/assets/img/yourpic.png

This is a problem when we switch to production server.
How would you create a "constant" with the path in angular?
const controllerPath = "http://localhost:3001/controllers/"
const imagePath = "http://localhost:8080/assets/img/"

So we can use them in all pages?
I read about these two:
app.constant('controllerPath', 'http://localhost:3001/controllers/');
app.value('controllerPath', 'http://localhost:3001/controllers/');

But then you have to remember to send all paths to all controllers on all pages.
We could put them in $rootScope but then you have to transfer that one to all pages.
Isnt there any "settings" or something similar in Angular where you can setup global constants?

A: You can attach your constants to the $rootScope service which will make them automatically available to any inherited scopes, such as those created for your controllers.  Then you can simply access them as properties of your controller's $scope without having to separately inject $rootScope.

angular
 .module('demoApp', ['ngRoute'])
 .controller('page1Controller', ['$scope', function($scope){
  console.log('Asset Prefix: ' + $scope.assetPrefix);
 }])
 .controller('page2Controller', ['$scope', function($scope){
  console.log('Controllers Prefix: ' + $scope.controllersPrefix);
 }]);

angular.module('demoApp').config(['$locationProvider', '$routeProvider', function($locationProvider, $routeProvider){
 $locationProvider.html5Mode(false);
 $routeProvider.when('/page1', {
  controller: 'page1Controller'
  , controllerAs: 'vm'
  , template: '
Assets are located at: {{assetPrefix}}
What about controllers?'
 });
 $routeProvider.when('/page2', {
  controller: 'page2Controller'
  , controllerAs: 'vm'
  , template: '
Controllers are located at: {{controllersPrefix}}
What about assets?'
 });
 $routeProvider.otherwise('/page1');
}]);

angular.module('demoApp').run(['$rootScope', function($rootScope){
 $rootScope.assetPrefix = 'http://localhost:8080/assets';
 $rootScope.controllersPrefix = 'http://localhost:3001/controllers';
}]);

jQuery(function($){
    angular.bootstrap(document, ['demoApp']);
});

A: You have 2 solutions for that:

*

*either use $rootScope for all your constant
For exemple : $rootScope.controllerPath = ...
and inject $rootScope on every controller; that is a common usage.

*either use the localStorage with that great lib
https://github.com/gsklee/ngStorage
You inject $localStorage and use it as $rootScope.
It s a cleaner solution in my point of view

Australian man dead after falling from Royal Caribbean cruise ship
By Jenny Noyes
Updated August 16, 2019 — 11.59am first published at 7.29am
An Australian man who died after falling from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship bound for the US Virgin Islands has been identified as London-based entrepreneur Jonathan Pfahl.
Mr Pfahl, who was raised in Sydney, died in the early hours of Wednesday morning local time when he fell from the Symphony of the Seas en route to the island of Saint Thomas.
Australian entrepreneur Jonathan Pfahl died after falling overboard from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship bound for the US Virgin Islands.
A spokesman for the cruise ship operator confirmed an Australian man died after falling overboard on Wednesday.
"Upon the initial report that an Australian adult male had gone overboard, our ship immediately turned, launched a rescue boat, and conducted a full-scale search," the spokesman said.
"We are currently working closely with authorities and will continue to assist in their investigation.
"Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones for their loss, and our care team is providing support and assistance during this difficult time."
Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas.
Mr Pfahl, the founder and managing director of business mentoring company Rockstar Group, has been remembered by friends in the British business community.
Lee McAteer tweeted he was "absolutely stunned" by the news his friend had died.
"JP was a true rockstar and helped so many people get their businesses going," he said. "So many good times together. I can't believe I'm writing this."
The US Virgin Islands are in the Caribbean, about 1780 kilometres south-east of Miami. Local media reported the 6680-passenger cruise ship is set to return to Miami on Saturday.
An employee of Florida's 7News Miami, Nickella Battle, was on board the ship at the time of the tragedy. She told reporters the incident occurred about 4am, and passengers were informed later that afternoon.
"I was on the balcony of my stateroom at around 3.30pm. The captain was on the intercom. He was like, 'Oh, a man fell overboard, and unfortunately he was deceased. This happened about 4am.'
"I looked out from my balcony and everybody was taken aback. You could see everyone stopped in their tracks," Ms Battle said.
The Miami Herald reported Mr Pfahl's body was retrieved by on board rescue crews, but the US Coastguard said it would not investigate the death because the ship was registered in the Bahamas, the victim was not a US citizen and the incident occurred in international waters.
A spokeswoman from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it "stands ready to provide assistance, in accordance with the Consular Services Charter, should it be requested".

Consolidator
Primis parent sells two brokerage firms to its PE-backed venture
Back in May 2022, LSL reported lower profits due to the fact expansion of its broker consolidator had been "slower than expected" [Picture: LSL group chief executive David Stewart]
By Ruby Hinchliffe
LSL, the parent company of mortgage network Primis, has sold off two of its mortgage broker firms to its new private equity-backed venture, Pivotal Growth.
Group First - which operates under the brands Mortgages First and Insurance First - and RSC New Homes (RSC) will both now sit under Pivotal Growth, but will remain appointed representatives of Primis.
The idea behind the new venture, which was launched less than two years ago, is to buy and build a national mortgage broker underpinned by technology and compliance services.
Both RSC and Group First are specialist new-build mortgage and insurance brokers, headquartered in Cheshire and Colchester respectively.
LSL said it considers Pivotal Growth "to be better placed to increase the value of Group First and RSC".
In December 2021, Pivotal Growth - with a pot of £200mn behind it from London-based Pollen Street Capital - bought its first brokerage, Glasgow's Lifetime Finance Group.
We have identified significant opportunities to develop LSL's position as the leading provider of services to independent mortgage brokers.
David Stewart, LSL
Since then, it has been making further acquisitions.
These include a Southport buy-to-let broker and specialist broker in Northampton, Grange Mortgage and Protection Services.
Though in May 2022, LSL reported lower profits due to the fact expansion of its broker consolidator had been "slower than expected".
LSL has committed up to £33.5mn to support the acquisition of mortgage advice firms to be made by Pivotal Growth, while Pollen Street Capital has committed up to £62.4mn.
The investment by both parties is being supplemented with external debt finance in Pivotal Growth to fund purchases.
LSL employs a mixture of mortgage advisers, conveyancers and estate agents.
Its operates a network of 228 owned and 127 franchised estate agency branches, with brands that include Your Move, Reeds Rains and Marsh & Parsons.
Group chief executive of LSL, David Stewart, said the transfer of Group First and RSC represents "an important step" in the execution of its strategy and development of Pivotal Growth.
He added: "Financial Services is at the heart of the group's growth strategy where we have identified significant opportunities to develop LSL's position as the leading provider of services to independent mortgage brokers."
When the consolidator launched in April, Simon Embley, LSL's non-executive chair, was announced as its chief executive.
Embley previously led the growth of LSL through a private equity backed buy-and-build strategy before the listing of the business in 2006.
Today (January 13), he said Pivotal Growth was starting 2023 with "the strong momentum of two acquisitions".
He added: "Through investment in their people, systems and technology, we plan to organically grow these businesses to further cement our position...in the new homes market, where we will continue to explore opportunities in the future."

The Morning Watch: A Chef Reviews Down Cooking Scenes in Movies, 'Eyes Wide Shut' Book Comparison & More
Posted on Thursday, December 19th, 2019 by Ethan Anderton
The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.
In this edition, listen as a professional chef reviews cooking scenes in movies like Chef, Ratatouille, Julie & Julia, and many more. Plus, see how Stanley Kubrick's family friendly holiday drama Eyes Wide Shut compares to the original 1926 novella on which the movie is based, and hear Richard Jewell co-star Kathy Bates look back at the most memorable characters from her career.
First up, GQ brought in professional chef and restauranteur Michael Chernow to take a look at some cooking scenes from movies. The titles featured include Pixar Animation's tasty Ratatouille, Jon Favreau's delightful Chef, Burnt starring Bradley Cooper, and Cook Up a Storm, a 2017 Hong Kong-Chinese culinary drama, and Chernow provides some insight into the accuracy of the cooking and the skills shown in each scene.
Next up, Cinefix takes a look at Eyes Wide Shut, an unconventional holiday drama with plenty of scenes that would get it on the naughty list. Stanley Kubrick directed the film, which is based on a 1926 novella called Dream Story. Kubrick bought the rights in the 1960s, but didn't make the movie until 1999. The biggest change is the time and location of the story, largely to how much time has passed since the novella was published, but otherwise, he mostly stays ad loyal as possible. Find out more above.
Finally, Kathy Bates can currently be seen as the mother of the titular character in Richard Jewell, directed by Clint Eastwood. But she's had a number of memorable roles over the years as one of the best character actresses in the business. Watch as Vanity Fair has her reflect on Titanic, Misery, Primary Colors, The Waterboy, American Horror Story, and more.

Schwarzenegger: Let gays and lesbians marry now
Bob Egelko, Jill Tucker, Chronicle Staff Writers
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Jerry Brown joined gay rights advocates Friday in asking a federal judge to allow gays and lesbians in California to marry immediately while opponents appeal the ruling that overturned Proposition 8.
Allowing same-sex couples to wed "is consistent with California's long history of treating all people and their relationships with equal dignity and respect," Schwarzenegger's lawyers said in a written filing with Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker.
Brown, like Schwarzenegger a defendant in the suit that challenged the November 2008 ballot measure, agreed that Walker's ruling Wednesday declaring Prop. 8 unconstitutional removed any legitimate interest the state has in enforcing the ban on same-sex marriage.
And lawyers for gay and lesbian couples said they continue to suffer from Prop. 8's "irrational deprivation of their constitutional rights."
Prop. 8's defenders have already appealed Walker's decision to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco and asked the judge for a stay that would maintain the prohibition on same-sex weddings during the appeal process, which could last a year or more.
By passing Prop. 8 and an earlier ballot measure in 2000, "the people of California have declared clearly and consistently that the public interest lies with preserving the definition of marriage as the union of a man and a woman," lawyers for Protect Marriage, the Prop. 8 campaign committee, told Walker in a filing the day before he ruled.
If the ruling takes effect, they said, "same-sex marriages would be licensed under a cloud of uncertainty, and should (Protect Marriage) succeed on appeal, any such marriages would be invalid."
Lawyers for the two couples and a gay rights organization that challenged Prop. 8 replied that the possibility of an unfavorable ruling in the future doesn't justify the continued deprivation of their rights.
"Gay men and lesbians are more than capable of determining whether they, as individuals who now enjoy the freedom to marry, wish to do so immediately or wait until all appeals have run their course," the plaintiffs' lawyers told Walker.
They also asked the judge, if he issues a stay, to limit it to seven days while Prop. 8's sponsors seek a longer suspension from the appeals court. Lawyers for the sponsors also suggested that as an option if they cannot obtain a longer stay.
Walker asked for written arguments on a stay by Friday and has not said when he will rule.
Schwarzenegger raised eyebrows with his strong support for allowing gay and lesbian marriages as soon as possible. The governor remained neutral during the lawsuit and praised Walker's ruling Wednesday, but he has also said he believes marriage should be limited to a man and a woman.
He twice vetoed bills to legalize same-sex marriage, saying they contradicted the will of the people as expressed at the polls.

Jumping into the case now is "just irresponsible," Douglas Napier, a lawyer with the Alliance Defense Fund, which took part in Prop. 8's defense, said Friday. "He should have just let the judicial process take its course without sticking his nose into it."
Across the aisle, opponents of the measure said they were surprised - and overjoyed - the governor decided now to speak up.
"He has now weighed and said, 'Enough,' " said Geoff Kors, executive director of the gay rights organization Equality California. "Having the state say there's no reason to keep a stay, and urging the court to lift the stay, is incredibly powerful."
Kors also praised Brown, who refused to defend Prop. 8 in court and has argued that it violated the rights of gays and lesbians to equality under the law.
"Equality California will stand firmly with Brown in his candidacy for governor, just as he has stood with our community and on the side of justice," Kors said.

Q: Python - Update to single element is affect all elements in same column I'm trying to create a connect 4 class, but whenever I drop a letter/token, it updates the entire column. I can't figure out for the life of me why this is happening:
class ConnectFour():
def __init__(self, width, height):
    self.width = width
    self.height = height
    self.board = [[0] * width] * height

def dropLetter(self, letter, col):
    count = self.height - 1
    while count > 0 and self.board[count][col] != 0:
        count -= 1
    print self.board[count][col]
    self.board[count][col] = letter
    print self.board

C = ConnectFour(4,4)
C.dropLetter('X', 0)

Then when I print self.board, every slot in the provided column is updating. Why is this happening?

A: Problem is here:
self.board = [[0] * width] * height

When you do so, self.board contains height references to the same row of [0]*width. Now you need to change it to
self.board = [[0]*width for _ in range(height)]

S&S; Review: UFC Undisputed 3
Posted on the 21 February 2012 by Sameo452005 @iSamKulii
Title: UFC Undisputed 3
Format: PS3,360
Release Date: Feb 14, 2012
Developer: Yuke's
ESRB Rating: T
UFC has become an overnight sensation in my eyes, and is still picking up steam. Now that boxing is losing some of its momentum, UFC is filling the void with some great action. The first two games were worthy adversaries to the Fight Night games, and it looks like the third entry is going for the title.
The overall presentation of the UFC games have always been top notch, and Undisputed doesn't disappoint. UFC features some of the most hyper-realistic 3D character models I've ever seen in a game. When you see Jon "Bones" Jones, you'll think you're seeing the real person. UFC Undisputed 3 feels better and more accurate than any other fighter out their. The damage system ensures accurate cuts and facial damage, as well as smaller details like your fighters sweat glistening from his back. The new animations look great and more life-like, when the game is in full motion, its looks stupendous. The new commentary is great, although it can get a little tedious and repetitive. Fight Professor Stephen Quadros and MMA legend Bas Rutten lend their voices to the Pride side of the game, and in my opinion, are better than the original partners. Core Gameplay/Multiplayer: Upon booting up the game for the first time, you're prompted to choose between Amateur and Pro grappling controls, this is one of the big changes in the game. You will want to explore both options to see which one fits your best. The sheer amount of depth and features in this iteration is pretty overwhelming, there is a lot of game here for you to explore. The inclusion of Pride FC is the biggest addition to the game. The game captures the look and feel of Pride FC, and recreates the atmosphere beautifully. Performing submissions in UFC Undisputed 3 has gotten a huge overhaul, an Octagon-shaped gauge appears on the sides of the screen when you or your opponent executes a submission, and you must line up your line with your opponent's in order to successfully submit them. Career mode is pretty much the same, with the new option of choosing an existing fighter and take them up the ranks. Online, the game handles itself very well, and features a few key additions to the formula. Fight Camps make a return, allowing you to team up with a group of like fighters, joining them under a created banner with unlocked emblems, and earning rankings and victories as a group. With more refined community features like sharing your own custom made highlight reels. Exhibition matches now include a point system, letting you see where you rank against other players in the world based on your specific skill level. Final Thoughts: UFC Undisputed 3 is a great fighting game, plain and simple. It features an immense roster, and great depth gameplay wise.

Create a Home Screen Shortcut on Android TV & NVIDIA Shield
Written by Tim Wells in Blog,How To Guides Last Updated March 1, 2021
Sideloading is a great way to get additional apps on your Android TV or NVIDIA Shield. But I always hated that sideloaded apps didn't automatically create a shortcut that I could put on my home screen.
Sideload launchers can get around the problem, but it always felt a bit like hacking the system.
So I did some research and found two easy ways to create a shortcut on my Android TV whenever I sideload a new app.
How to Create a Home Screen Shortcut on Android TV
I'm going to walk you through my two favorite ways to can create a shortcut on your Android TV home screen.
The first method is super-easy and is done completely through an app. Then I've got another way that starts on your PC and gives you some more flexibility on what the icon will look like.
Finally, there's going to be a bonus method in case you want more options.
Each method has it's pros and cons. Meaning that the right solution for you might not be the right choice for someone else.
In each section, I'll explain what the advantages and disadvantages are. That way you can quickly decide if it's the method you want to use.
Here, I'll be using my NVIDIA Shield TV, but it'll work the same on any device running the official Android TV OS.
The Easy Way: TV App Repo
By far the easiest method to add a shortcut to your Android TV home screen is using TV App Repo. This app has been around for years, and although you won't find it on the Google Play Store, it's well worth installing it on your device.
In only a couple of clicks, TV App Repo creates a shortcut for most Leanback apps, system apps or webpages. From there, you can add those shortcuts to your home screen's App row just as you would with any other app.
However, once the NVIDIA Shield upgraded to Android 8 (Oreo) some issues started to pop up. Some users reported TV App Repo crashing, depending on the app that you were creating a shortcut for.
Although this never happened to me, I've only needed to use it with a handful of apps. I recommend trying this method first and then using method #3 if you run into problems.
Other users found there were certain apps that you couldn't create shortcuts for this way. I ran into that problem trying to create a shortcut for Skype on my Android TV.
If that happens to you, you can still create a shortcut manually using the Android TV App Launcher Builder website that I discuss in the next section.
You can find TV App Repo on Aptoide TV, APKMirror or your favorite APK repository.
Easiest to use by far
Shortcuts act exactly like native app shortcuts
Need to sideload TV App Repo
May only work on certain apps
How to Use TV App Repo
The left-hand side menu for TV App Repo has four options: Downloaded APKs, Leanback Shortcuts, Custom Shortcuts and More.
Click on LeanBack Shortcuts.
This row displays a list of all of the APKs (Android application PacKages) that are installed on your Android TV device. From here, it's as easy as scrolling over until you find the app you're looking for and selecting it.
In this example, I'm creating a shortcut for APKMirror.
Once you click on the correct app, a window pops up with two options. You can either Create the Shortcut immediately or go to the Advanced settings.
The Advanced Settings give you the option to flag the app as a game, so it end up on the Games Row and not with the rest of your apps.
In most cases, you're just going to click on Create Shortcut.
Essentially, TV App Repo creates a dummy APK file that points to the actual app. In reality, you're creating a shortcut to a shortcut to the app.
A small message box appears at the bottom of the screen telling you the process could take up to twenty seconds. In my experience, it never took longer than five seconds.
Once that's done, TV App Repo goes directly to the normal app installation process.
Two clicks later, and you're done.
You can click out of TV App Repo and go back to your Apps page to see the new shortcut.
As I mentioned earlier, this method creates a shortcut that acts exactly like any other Leanback shortcut.
You can add it to your Favorites Row or launch it from your Apps page directly.
For Custom Images: Android TV App Launcher Builder
If you're the type of person that wants a little more control over the process, then you're going to like this next method.
As I mentioned earlier, TV App Repo started having some issues after the Android Oreo update. So the developers set up a website where users could go through the process, without having Android TV crash.
This method is slower than just going through the TV App Repo app. However, it gives you the ultimate in flexibility when you create your shortcuts.
Best of all, you'll be able to do almost everything from the comfort of your PC or laptop. We'll only be switching over to your Android TV for the very last step.
Choose your own icon image
Can be complicated for newer users
How to Use Android TV App Launcher Builder
To start, open up the following website: http://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de/index.php
All of the magic happens in the top section, so I'm going to walk you through an example for creating a shortcut to the Amazon Appstore.
App Name: This is what you're going to name your shortcut. It can be whatever you like, but it makes sense to name it something similar to the app itself.
You have a maximum of fifteen characters to work with. You can use any of the following special characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, -, ., &, +, ␣, |
App Package: This is the package name of the app you're going to launch.
There are several ways to find this. The easiest, in my mind, was going to the Settings menu on your Android TV, click on Apps, and then find the app you're looking for.
The very first line under the app's detail page will list the package name.
App Category: This is either Apps or Games. This determines what section of the app drawer the icon will appear in.
App Logo & App Banner: These are the graphics files for the icon file and the banner tile.
The icons you see on the Android TV home screen, especially under the Favorites Row will use the app banner image. Icons are used less frequently, but are still important.
Both files will need to be in png format. You don't have to worry about getting the image file sized correctly. They'll be automatically resized during the process.
Once you have everything entered, click Generate APK. It should only take about twenty seconds to create the new APK file.
Once complete, you'll see a 'success' message and a green button to Download APK.
Finally, jump back to your Android TV or NVIDIA Shield. We need to sideload the new APK file on to your device. If you need a refresher, I have a tutorial that will walk you through that process, step-by-step.
I've found that the easiest way to sideload the new APK file on your Android TV is to upload the file to your Google Drive account. Then you can download and install it using your favorite Android TV file manager.
The new shortcut will act like any other Leanback shortcut on your Android TV device.
Bonus Method: Sideload Channel / Application Launcher
If neither of those options sound good to you, here's a bonus method.
I recommend trying this if TV App Repo doesn't work for you and you don't want to go through the process with Android TV App Launcher Builder.
There's an app available on the Google Play Store called Sideload Channel / Application Launcher. Although it will create a shortcut on your Android TV home screen, it's not nearly as good as the two methods I described earlier.
Instead of creating a shortcut that you can put where you like, this app creates a custom row on your home screen.
Although you can add shortcuts for your sideloaded apps to that row, you can't use them anywhere else. So you'd still need a sideload launcher.
Additionally, this app isn't free.
At the time I'm writing this, it's only $1.88, which isn't bad. However, it might be a deal-breaker for some people.
How to Use Sideload Channel Application Launcher
Sideload Channel \ Application Launcher gives you a lot of customization options. However, that also makes it harder than it needs to be to use.
In order to create your first shortcut, you first need to create a custom row on your home screen first.
The default options are there to get you started quickly. If you want to tweak them, you can customize the name, row icon, custom wallpaper and even change the icon spacing.
The app includes several default icons. You can also use the icon from any app you've installed as well. If that's not good enough, you can even install a custom icon, although that process isn't very straightforward.
Once you have the custom row set up, you can start to add icons for your sideloaded apps, widgets or create custom tiles.
This part is much easier.
You can choose from a list of every installed app on your system, even the system apps.
Once you select an app, you're given the option of what icon to use in your custom row. Although they're mostly just subtle variations of the official app like rounded edges, different color backgrounds, etc.
Still, it's nice that you can really make the icon work well – even if you have a custom background
Overall, Sideload Channel Application Launcher is a really good app. It's not as elegant as the two other methods I described, and it's not free.
However, it's fairly easy to use and doesn't seem to have the limitations that TV App Repo sometimes runs into.
Don't have to sideload it
Premium app
Can only use the shortcut in a custom row on home screen
These three methods should let you create any shortcut you want on your Android TV or NVIDIA Shield – whether it's a sideloaded app or a custom web page that you want quick access to.
Personally, I've found that the TV App Repo app works for me. It does the job quickly and does everything I need it to do.
On those rare cases where I want a custom image, I'll use the Android TV App Launcher Builder website. It works great and is designed by the same developers as TV App Repo and works great!

Stream Josh Ritter's new album, Sermon On The Rocks
Josh Ritter | Photo by Laura Wilson
Singer-songwriter Josh Ritter releases his new album, Sermon On The Rocks, on October 16th. Recorded with his band, the Royal City Band in New Orleans, Ritter plays to the lighter side of his muse, in contrast to the post-divorce hangover of his 2013 release The Beast In Its Tracks.
Writing about the album on NPR Music, Stephen Thompson says:
As its title suggests, the album is Ritter's foray into what the singer himself calls "messianic oracular honky-tonk," often dispensed via a kind of traveling-preacher/snake-oil-salesman persona. Which means, in turn, that Sermon On The Rocks is lighter than usual on the sincere rumination that has marked many of its predecessors.
Without fail, Ritter – who creates music at an exceptionally creative level – continues to grow and mature on every record he makes, and Sermon is no exception. He rarely writes the same song twice from album to album, and musically Sermon is playful and adventurous, signaled by the first single, "Getting Ready To Get Down." There's some new sounds and beats in Ritter's trick bag this time around, and his versatility is staggering.
Below, listen to Sermon On The Rocks via NPR Music. WXPN Welcomes Josh to Union Transfer on Sunday, Febraury 21st. Go here for tickets and more information for the show.


The Trump administration is urging patience on North Korea amid a flurry of developments this week that appear to offer conflicting portraits of the United States's diplomatic efforts.
The administration also touted the beginning of the destruction of a missile engine testing site as Pyongyang living up to the commitments Kim made at last months' summit in Singapore.
And while Secretary of State Mike Pompeo admitted to senators this week that North Korea is still producing the material necessary to make nuclear bombs, experts say that is something to be expected – and not necessarily a sign of faltering diplomacy – as bilateral talks develop.


Nail fungus (or onychomycosis) is a leading reason for patients seeking podiatric care. Not only cosmetically disturbing, it can result in pain, secondary bacterial infection, difficulty in nail trimming, and disability. It can also be associated with fungus infection of the skin on the feet (athlete's foot or tinea pedis).
While most prevalent in the senior population, it is also evaluated and treated by RIFC doctors daily on children, and young adults. Conventional treatment to date has included oral therapy over a few months (patients must have a normal liver history, and normal liver enzymes), and/or the use of a promising topical solution (Formula 3) dispensed at RIFC offices. And, of course periodic nail debridement by RIFC doctors on a regular basis is an integral component of the treatment plan.
However, RIFC will soon be offering an exciting and promising new treatment-laser therapy for nail fungus. Technicians, utilizing an FDA approved laser, over just a few brief treatment sessions spaced over a few months can isolate this painless therapy onto as many nails as desired. Unfortunately, the service is not insurance covered, but for selected patients it will represent a welcome remedy to what is often viewed as an embarrassing problem.

Lightning buys print rights to Nicola May's Corner Shop
Published January 29, 2019 by Roger Tagholm
Eye Books imprint Lightning has acquired world English rights for the print edition of self-published book The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay by Nicola May....
Eye Books imprint Lightning has acquired world English rights for the print edition of self-published book The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay by Nicola May. May will remain self-publisher of the e-book, which has topped the Kindle chart this month.
The print edition was acquired by Scott Pack, Lightning's editor-at-large. He said: "Nicola and I have known each other for some years. We met to celebrate her latest book hitting the top of the Kindle chart. She mentioned she was keen to do more with the print edition but, understandably, didn't want to relinquish rights to the bestselling e-book, which pretty much ruled out signing with most publishers. By the end of the week we had agreed a deal for Lightning Books to take over production, sales and distribution of The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay. Not a bad week, really."
Pack also notes that today (Wednesday, 30th January), The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay is still occupying "the number one slot of all Kindle books in the UK".
May has self-published nine novels. Her latest is a small town drama involving a young woman who inherits a near-derelict corner shop in a Devon village from a mystery benefactor. She said: "I'm overjoyed to have signed a deal with Scott Pack, who has been a valuable mentor since I first stepped in to the author spotlight as a self-published author, back in 2011. I have enjoyed the challenge of doing it all myself, but am now very much looking forward to being published by a small but very dynamic publishing house."
Lightning's version will replace the existing print edition and will be available in early February.

In Eindhoven, Utrecht and Assen smart projects are tackling everything from traffic to street crime. But with privacy laws being flouted and commercial companies in on the act, are things as benign as they seem?
Stratumseind in Eindhoven is one of the busiest nightlife streets in the Netherlands. On a Saturday night, bars are packed, music blares through the street, laughter and drunken shouting bounces off the walls. As the night progresses, the ground becomes littered with empty shot bottles, energy drink cans, cigarette butts and broken glass.
It's no surprise that the place is also known for its frequent fights. To change that image, Stratumseind has become one of the "smartest" streets in the Netherlands. Lamp-posts have been fitted with wifi-trackers, cameras and 64 microphones that can detect aggressive behaviour and alert police officers to altercations. There has been a failed experiment to change light intensity to alter the mood. The next plan, starting this spring, is to diffuse the smell of oranges to calm people down. The aim? To make Stratumseind a safer place.
All the while, data is being collected and stored. "Visitors do not realise they are entering a living laboratory," says Maša Galic, a researcher on privacy in the public space for the Tilburg Institute of Law, Technology and Society. Since the data on Stratumseind is used to profile, nudge or actively target people, this "smart city" experiment is subject to privacy law. According to the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act, people should be notified in advance of data collection and the purpose should be specified – but in Stratumseind, as in many other "smart cities", this is not the case.
When we think of smart cities, we usually think of big projects: Songdo in South Korea, the IBM control centre in Rio de Janeiro or the hundreds of new smart cities in India. More recent developments include Toronto, where Google will build an entirely new smart neighbourhood, and Arizona, where Bill Gates plans to build his own smart city. But the reality of the smart city is that it has stretched into the everyday fabric of urban life – particularly so in the Netherlands.
Enschede is enthusiastic about the advantages of the smart city. The municipality says it is saving €36m in infrastructure investments by launching a smart traffic app that rewards people for good behaviour like cycling, walking and using public transport. (Ironically, one of the rewards is a free day of private parking.) Only those who mine the small print will discover that the app creates "personal mobility profiles", and that the collected personal data belongs to the company Mobidot.
Companies are getting away with it in part because it involves new applications of data. In Silicon Valley, they call it "permissionless innovation", they believe technological progress should not be stifled by public regulations. For the same reason, they can be secretive about what data is collected in a public space and what it is used for. Often the cities themselves don't know.
Utrecht has become a tangle of individual pilots and projects, with no central overview of how many cameras and sensors exist, nor what they do. In 2014, the city invested €80m in data-driven management that launched in 80 projects. Utrecht now has a burglary predictor, a social media monitoring room, and smart bins and smart streetlights with sensors (although the city couldn't say where these are located). It has scanner cars that dispense parking tickets, with an added bonus of detecting residents with a municipal tax debt according to the privacy regulation of the scanner cars. But when I asked the city to respond to a series of questions on just 22 of the smart projects, it could only answer for five of them, referring me to private companies for the rest of the answers.
The city also keeps track of the number of young people hanging out in the streets, their age group, whether they know each other, the atmosphere and whether or not they cause a nuisance. Special enforcement officers keep track of this information through mobile devices. It calls this process "targeted and innovative supervision". Other council documents mention the prediction of school drop-outs, the prediction of poverty and the monitoring of "the health of certain groups" with the aim of "intervening faster".
Like many cities, Utrecht argues that it acts in accordance with privacy laws because it anonymises or pseudonymises data (assigning it a number instead of a name or address). But pseudonymised personal data is still personal data. "The process is not irreversible if the source file is stored," says Mireille Hildebrandt, professor of ICT and Law at Radboud University. "Moreover, if you build personal profiles and act on them, it is still a violation of privacy and such profiling can – unintentionally – lead to discrimination." She points to Utrecht's plan to register the race and health data of prostitutes, which came in for heavy criticism from the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
Hof gives the example of CityTec, a company that manages 2,000 car parks, 30,000 traffic lights and 500,000 lamp-posts across the Netherlands. It refused to share with municipalities the data it was collecting through its lamp-post sensors. "Their argument was that, although the municipality is legally owner of the lamp-posts, CityTec is the economic owner and, for competitive reasons, did not want to make the data available," Hof says. This was three years ago, but for a lot of companies it remains standard practice. Companies dictate the terms, and cities say they can't share the contracts because it contains "competition-sensitive information".
Morozov's fear about public subsidies being used for private innovation is well illustrated in Assen, a city of 70,000 people in the north of the country. Assen built a fibre-optic network for super-fast internet in 2011, to which it connected 200 sensors that measure, among other things, the flow of cars. There was an experiment to steer people around traffic jams, even though traffic in the city is relatively light. The city also connected its traffic lights, parking garages and parking signs to this grid. The cost of €46m was split between Brussels, the national government, the province and the municipality. Companies such as the car navigation firm TomTom have used the sensor network to test new services.
The project, called Sensor City, filed for bankruptcy a year ago. Now the publicly funded fibre-optic network, sensors and all, will be sold to a still-unidentified private company. The municipality will have to strike a deal with the new owner about the use of its public traffic lights and parking signs.

Q: UITableView partially hidden by UITabBar I've got a UITabBarController which contains a UINavigationController. Within the visible UIViewController, I'm creating a UITableView programatically as follows:
self.voucherTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain];
self.voucherTableView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;

However, the UITabBar is overlapping the UITableView.
When I output the height of the [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame], it returns 460.00 whereas it should be 367.00.
In Interface Builder, I'm using the 'Simulated Metrics' which automatically sets the height of the view to 367.00.
Is there something I'm missing, no matter what I try I can't see to get the 367.00 height that I need.
As a temp fix, I've set the frame of the UITableView manually, this isn't really ideal so it would be nice to work out why this isn't working:
self.voucherTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 367) style:UITableViewStylePlain];

A: You should use self.view.bounds rather than [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] as the last one returns you the whole screen frame while self.view.bounds provides you with your view bounds wich seems what you are searching for.

A: You should add the UINavigationController instance to the UITabBarController and then add a table view controller to the rootViewController property of the UINavigationController instance which should make your life a lot easier.
As a simple example of this, create an empty window-based application (the templates make this a lot more confusing than it really is).
Add your UIViewController/UITableViewController subclasses to the project then use this code as a guide to setting up your project. This code is in your AppDelegate class:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // create our table view controller that will display our store list
    StoresViewController *storeListController = [[StoresViewController alloc] init];

    // create the navigation controller that will hold our store list and detail view controllers and set the store list as the root view controller
    UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:storeListController];
    [navController.tabBarItem setTitle:@"TableView"];
    [navController.tabBarItem setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"cart.png"]];

    // create our browser view controller
    BrowserViewController *webBrowserController = [[BrowserViewController alloc] init];
    [webBrowserController.tabBarItem setTitle:@"WebView"];
    [webBrowserController.tabBarItem setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"web.png"]];

    // add our view controllers to an array, which will retain them
    NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:navController, webBrowserController, nil];

    // release these since they are now retained
    [navController release];
    [storeListController release];
    [webBrowserController release];

    // add our array of controllers to the tab bar controller
    UITabBarController *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
    [tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllers];

    // set the tab bar controller as our root view controller
    [self.window setRootViewController:tabBarController];

    // we can release this now since the window is retaining it
    [tabBarController release];

    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    return YES;
}

In the code sample above the BrowserViewController is a subclass of UIViewController and the StoresViewController class is a subclass of UITableViewController. The UITabBarController and UINavigationController instances are created programmatically and added to the window.
By subclassing the UITableViewController class you avoid having to create a UITableView instance programmatically and get most everything you need out of the box.
When you need to push a detail view onto the UINavigationController instance's stack, you just have use something similar to this:
[self.navigationController pushViewController:YourDetailViewControllerInstance animated:YES];

This will add the detail view UIViewController subclass to the UINavigationController instance's view hierarchy for you and animate the transition.
Lots of controllers in this, but it's totally worth it and will avoid a lot of the problems you're experiencing as this method allows the views to manage resizing and take toolbars/navigation bars into account all by themselves.

At the center of Theranos' mystique was its "Edison" machine, which the company claimed could test for a variety of diseases through only a few drops of blood from a person's finger. Despite the hype and company claims, Theranos shared few details on how its Edison machine — named after the inventor — worked.
Theranos' intrigue went beyond just investors and the media. In 2015, Holmes was able to convince the Arizona State Legislature and Gov. Doug Ducey to pass a law allowing patients to get blood tests without a doctor's order, for the direct benefit of Theranos. The company got Walgreens to open store-within-a-store concepts where customers could get their blood tested by Theranos.
After the Journal's investigation, Theranos and Holmes pushed back hard, and for months refused to acknowledge that its machines were effectively a sham. State and federal authorities started investigations into the accuracy of the company's blood testing work. In 2016 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversees blood testing labs in the U.S., banned Holmes from operating a lab and revoked Theranos' blood testing license.
