Hello, I am looking for a lisp to help speed up the process of renumbering a selection of multileaders. We use multileaders to call out materials on our drawings, and often make changes to our Bill of Materials (BOM). Whenever a change to the BOM is made, we need to adjust a lot of the multileaders to match. For example, we may have a list of 30 materials, all numbered and bubbled out. Then our client comes back with a change, and we have to add a material between number 15 and number 16 (We can't just add the material to the end, because the BOM is organized by category, size, etc.). This means that every number from 15 to 30 increases by 1, and then all of the multileaders need to be adjusted. Currently we use one of two methods for adjusting the numbering. If it is a small list, or there is not a lot of bubbles, we just manually adjust each multileader. If its a long list, or there's a lot of bubbles, we use find and replace (In the example, check find whole words only, find 16, replace with 17a; Find 17, replace with 18a; and so on. Then once all numbers are adjusted, uncheck find whole words only, and find a and replace with nothing). While these methods work, they are rather tedious, and prone to error, especially when we have a long list of hundreds of materials. I would like to find a faster and more robust way of doing this, and I think a lisp is probably the best solution. Ideally, the lisp would allow for the user to take a selection set of multileaders, input a range of values to adjust by a user-specified delta, and then make all the changes in one go. In the example above, the user would get the selection set of multileaders, input a range of 16-30, and a delta of 1. Sometimes the delta would need to be more than 1, hence the requirement of a user inputted variable. Often, a material is removed from the list as well, which requires a range to decrease by one. So if the lisp could take that into consideration and allow for a negative delta that would be helpful as well. I have attached a dwg example with the multileader we use for reference. The multileaders are of the type Block, using Circle as the source block, and they are always in paperspace, not sure if that will affect anything. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks, Noah BOM MULTILEADER EXAMPLE.dwg
Hello, I am trying to figure out a way to get all of my common data (detail numbers, sheet numbers, and when I bubble an item from my BOM) to update easier. The best way I found to do this seems to be using Field. Field works with regular text really well, but I cant figure out how to get the correct data from Mtext or from a table. Meaning, Field pulls all data from Mtext, and only table data from tables (i.e, nothing inserted inside the table, just table height and whatnot). I would like to use a table so that I can copy paste my BOM from excel, and Field reference to the data in that table. If you have an easier solution I would appreciate that too.. Using full Autocad 2017, Mechanical. Also, I tried using Custom Drawing Properties but that maxes out at 10, and I cannot populate it easily from the excel file. I know I can use sheetset for the sheet numbers, but see no way to use it for the BOM.

ANN ARBOR, MICH. - The United Association of Plumbers and Pipe Fitters (UA), North America, and the Plumbing Trades Employees Union (PTEU), Australia, signed an affiliation agreement today for joint skills training and employment initiatives in the United States, Canada and Australia. A first between two unions, the agreement seeks to help streamline the building industry, reduce the shortage of skilled workers and provide unprecedented efforts to tackle the global problem of climate change.
"Emerging technologies and building standards promise to have a significant impact on the efficient delivery of energy and water. It is essential that we share best practices and training as systems, products and technologies begin to standardize globally," said UA General President William P. Hite. "The UA will initially share its expertise in heavy industry as Australia embarks on expansion of oil and gas refining, and power generation projects. Our experience in training workers for certification in welding, instrumentation installation and calibration is highly valued by our industry."
PTEU Federal Secretary Earl Setches offered his own union's expertise, saying "Australian expertise in water conservation will serve North America as it seeks to address its aging water and sewer infrastructure, and retrofit its existing building stock. We have vast knowledge of irrigation systems, rain water harvesting, and water treatment and recycling." Australians, including PTEU members, have embarked on a campaign to retrofit 1,200 existing buildings in the City of Melbourne and its municipality. They recently celebrated the award of the U.S. Green Building Council's highest LEED® rating in the world for the Grocon Pixel Building, Melbourne.
Both organizations see an immediate need to share best practices on biofuels, geothermal and trigeneration, which is a power-heat-refrigeration combined system that recycles waste heat and water for other uses. "There is tremendous job growth potential now for building and water infrastructure improvement, as well as alternate and traditional forms of energy generation," said Hite.
An Australian contractor sees benefit in the agreement: this is a first step in skilled workers traveling within the trade. "We think as a global company. We need qualified workers now in some of our mining projects," said Axis Plumbing Group Managing Director Clem Morfuni. Experts in grey water, black water recycling, and solar hot water, Axis also operates in New Zealand, United Kingdom and Thailand. "This is a first step in contractors coming together, too. I want to learn about building innovations and how the market works in North America. I'm hoping American contractors will want to know more about our Green Star building design and construction."
"This agreement will help us meet the needs of building owners. As an industry our contractors recognize that their competitive position and ability to exceed their clients' expectations rests largely on the skills and abilities of their union workforce," said William J. ("Mac") Lynch. He is President of Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) and President of William F. Lynch Company, Inc., Worcester, Mass. MCAA represents 2,400 U.S. mechanical, industrial, plumbing and service contractors; a number of them also perform work internationally.
Both the UA and PTEU training programs include a focus on green building along with traditional skills and advanced technologies found throughout the construction industry. The UA offers many Certification Programs including Green System Awareness and Energy Audit to ensure that UA members remain at the forefront of the piping industry. Through the UA University system there are opportunities to attain further credentials, including advanced degrees in areas such as construction supervision and management, and heating/ventilation/air conditioning/refrigeration (HVACR), as well as sustainable technologies. The PTEU trains workers through its Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre in Melbourne, offering a unique approach to cross-training building professionals to look at various systems in an integrated manner. In addition to green plumbing and industrial services, the Australians are trained on the latest innovations in energy and water conservation.

I am going through Effective Java and some of my things which I consider as standard are not suggested by the book, for instance creation of object, I was under the impression that constructors are the best way of doing it and books says we should make use of static factory methods, I am not able to few some advantages and so disadvantages and so am asking this question, here are the benefits of using it.
- One advantage of static factory methods is that, unlike constructors, they have names.
- A second advantage of static factory methods is that, unlike constructors, they are not required to create a new object each time they're invoked.
- A third advantage of static factory methods is that, unlike constructors, they can return an object of any subtype of their return type.
- A fourth advantage of static factory methods is that they reduce the verbosity of creating parameterized type instances.
- The main disadvantage of providing only static factory methods is that classes without public or protected constructors cannot be subclassed.
- A second disadvantage of static factory methods is that they are not readily distinguishable from other static methods.
Reference: Effective Java, Joshua Bloch, Edition 2, pg: 5-10
I am not able to understand the fourth advantage and the second disadvantage and would appreciate if someone can explain those points. I would also like to understand how to decide to use whether to go for Constructor or Static Factory Method for Object Creation.

Invented by Ernest H. Wright, liquid smoke is a savory additive that adds a hint of smokiness to foods. Liquid smoke allows nonsmoked foods to have the same flavor as smoke-cured foods, such as ham. Originally produced by collecting the condensed smoke from the top of a stovepipe, you can make your own liquid smoke at home by forcing smoke to condense and then collecting the liquid.
Video of the Day
To condense your own smoke at home, use a smoker or a grill that has a chimney, such as a clay Mexican cooking oven. The type of wood you use will affect the flavor of your smoke, so choose your wood carefully. Frequently used woods include apple, olive, hickory and mesquite. Light charcoal, placing it in the chimney and then cover it with the wood or chips. Soak the chips or wood in water beforehand to ensure a good smoke. Place a Bundt pan on the top of the chimney, and cover it with an upside down metal mixing bowl. Place a bag of ice over the metal bowl. As the smoke rises up the chimney, through the hole in the pan, it will collect in the mixing bowl. The ice cools the mixing bowl, causing condensation to run down the sides of the bowl, into the pan.
Homemade Vs. Store-Bought
Homemade liquid smoke guarantees that there are no chemical additives for color or flavor — manufactured liquid smoke often contains little to no "real" smoke. Homemade liquid smoke also lets you control the flavor of your smoke, as you can choose what type of wood to use. It is also cleaner tasting than store-bought liquid smoke. However, making it yourself is a labor intensive process, and you will often get only a little bit of smoke after several hours.

Simple Method to Log Charging and Discharging of Li-Ion and Lipo cells
For my Raspberry Pi automatic power supply design with a UPS function (see another post), I wanted to learn more about the charging and discharging characteristics of Li-Ion and Lipo cells.
In several of my supply designs, I use the Adafruit Powerboost 1000c circuit. It uses an MCP73871 charge controller, that is set to deliver up to 1 Amp of charge current. It does not use a Thermistor to monitor the cell temperature, and I wanted to use a variation of cells.
The cells I tested were a TR 18650 with 2400mAh, a TR 14500 with 1200mAh, both are Li-Ion cells, and one small Lipo cell, model 043040 with 500mAh.
Before I modified the Powerboost circuit to limit the charge current to 500mA or a little less, I wanted to profile the charge/discharge characteristics of these three cells.
I used a RPi Model 3 powered by my automatic UPS supply, and I used another RPi, a Model (1) B, together with an A-2-D convertor circuit to monitor the current of the cells powering the Model 3.
The monitoring circuit is based on yet another post, and modified to measure the cell voltage together with the charging or discharging currents. Here is the circuit:
I used the following Python script to show the progress on the console and log the results into a file that I could upload to Excel to graph curves.

Sir Vincent WigglesworthArticle Free Pass
Sir Vincent Wigglesworth, (born April 17, 1899, Kirkham, Lancashire, Eng.—died Feb. 11, 1994, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire), English entomologist, noted for his contribution to the study of insect physiology. His investigations of the living insect body and its tissues and organs revealed much about the dynamic complexity of individual insects and their interactions with the environment. His Insect Physiology (1934) is often considered the foundation for this branch of entomology.
After military service in France during World War I, Wigglesworth completed his education at the University of Cambridge and St. Thomas' Hospital in London. He lectured in medical entomology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and later was reader in entomology first at the University of London, then at Cambridge. In 1943 he was appointed director of the Agricultural Research Council Unit of Insect Physiology in Cambridge. He was knighted in 1964.
Among Wigglesworth's most significant discoveries were those concerned with metamorphosis, particularly the control of form and growth. In insects such as the South American blood-sucking bug Rhodnius prolixis, Wigglesworth was able to determine that a crucial growth hormone was produced in the neurosecretory cells of its brain, the first experimental demonstration of the function of such cells. He then discovered another hormone that actually prevented the development of adult characteristics in R. prolixis until the insect had reached the appropriate larval stage. Wigglesworth found that this hormone, which he called the juvenile hormone, was produced in the region of the endocrine gland known as the corpus allatum. He found that he could radically distort the developmental phases of his insect subjects by a selective manipulation of their hormonal levels. Finally, Wigglesworth was thus able to formulate a coherent theory of insect metamorphosis involving the selective activation by hormones of the insect's genetic components, which in turn determine its morphology and developmental character. Besides making these discoveries, Wigglesworth isolated the properties of various insect enzymes and the mechanism for the hatching of insect eggs.

The United States Air Force originally built Payne Airfield (now Cairo International Airport) in the 1940s. A major air cargo and passenger hub, it served Allied Forces in World War II.
After the war, American forces vacated the airfield and the Civil Aviation Authority took over field operations. In 1946, the airfield was renamed King Farouk 1st Airport and served approximately 200 civilian passengers per hour.
In the 1950s, construction began on a new terminal that would increase the capacity of the airport and, in 1963, Cairo International Airport was inaugurated and replaced Heliopolis as the primary airport in the region. Today it is the second busiest airport in Africa, serving more than 11 million passengers annually.

Type: Review Article
Barnard, T. C. 'The Gentrification of Eighteenth-Century Ireland', Eighteenth-century Ireland/Iris an dá chultúr, Vol. 12 (1997), pp 137-55.
This article assesses the contribution to the study of eighteenth-century Ireland of Dr Kevin Whelan, whom the author characterises as one of the liveliest writers on eighteenthand nineteenth-century Ireland to have emerged in recent years. Barnard praises Whelans many contributions to the field, particularly whose which display his sensitivity to place. However, Barnard takes Whelan to task for using testimony and concepts which will not always carry the load of argument which they are asked to bear and gives a number of examples to back up this criticism. He also suggests that Whelan under-estimates the importance of religion in the culture of eighteenth-century Ireland and comments favourably on the work of other scholars who have recognised this importance. Barnard is also uneasy about some aspects of Whelans analysis of the catholic underground gentry of eighteenth-century Ireland and he suggests that some of Whelans conclusions are premature; among other things, the way the Irish defined the concept of gentry is more complex than Whelan suggests, and Barnards view is that, in general, more work has to be done on such matters before some of Whelans conclusions can be fully accepted.

Accutech 's software package FluidFlow3 satisfies the steady-state design requirements and the program Hytran the water hammer requirements but until recently these have been quite separate programs. Now it is possible to export the FluidFlow3 steady-state model direct into Hytran. This linking of the two programs provides an integrated approach to the design and analysis of water and wastewater pipe flow systems.
Both programs provide an intuitive graphical user interface. FluidFlow3 allows a schematic flowsheet representation of the pipe system which can be annotated with both input data and calculated results. This, plus charts showing the performance of line equipment such as pumps, allows immediate interpretation of system performance. The model can then be exported to Hytran.
Hytran's display of the pressure transients shows both the position-dependent transient pressures along the pipeline (the propagation of the pressure wave with flow direction changes are actually shown in real-time) as well as the time-dependent pressures at selected locations.
The screen image mosaic below shows a simple pipe flow system consisting of a single pump discharging via 2,250m of 400mm steel pipe to a reservoir at an elevation 40m above the pump. The upper image is the flowsheet schematic from FluidFlow3 and the image bottom right shows the steady-state performance of the pump – capacity, system and efficiency curves. Exporting this model to Hytran and solving for pump trip generated the image bottom left. This shows the time-dependent pressures at the pump. After 10s of steady-state running, the pump tripped and pump head immediately fell. At 30s after pump trip there was a significant spike in pressure at the pump. This was due to column separation at the 30m elevation high point in the line. Column separation and re-join continued with the peaks gradually attenuating due to friction in the line.

Snapchat. One of those revolutionary apps that made an undeniable impact on the way social media apps work. Firstly introduced as iOS exclusive, later take a significant role within Android, too. And suddenly, it started declining to levels that make it almost unusable. Android users report Snapchat crashes, stutters, and overall poor performance. If you are among them, we have a few things to try and mitigate these issues, if not outright solve them.
Table of contents:
How to resolve Snapchat stutters and crashes on Android
If your Snapchat lags, stutters, or crashes on Android, make sure to clear data from the app, reinstall Snapchat, or roll back to an older version via an APK.
It goes without saying that you should be connected to a stable Wi-Fi network or mobile data network. Learn more below.
1. Clear apps cache and data
Let's start with the acknowledged route. Cache and data are there for a reason. Data is, obviously, everything you or the app itself stores on the internal storage. Cache, on the other hand, is there to speed the app's loading time and it contains temporary files. Both are important and both, sadly, can sometimes cause issues.
Follow the instructions below to clear both Data and Cache from the Snapchat app:
- Tap Settings.
- Open Apps or Application Manager.
- Open All apps.
- Tap Snapchat.
- Open Storage.
- Clear Cache and Data.
- Restart your device.
After that, you might need to sign in again with your credentials. If nothing changed and Snapchat still crashes, move through the additional steps.
2. Reinstall the Snapchat app
Even though the Android platform is much more homogenous nowadays, system update or structural changes within the system can affect the behavior of certain apps. And if an app is in a state in which is Snapchat currently, nothing should surprise you. Reinstallation is one way to address this.
Here's how to reinstall Snapchat on Android:
- Tap and hold the Snapchat app in the App drawer or on the Home screen.
- Drag it to the top and Uninstall it.
- Restart your device.
- Open Play Store.
- Search for Snapchat.
- Install the app.
3. Download older APK version
If the current, or even the latest few versions were causing issues, you can always downgrade by downloading the older, well-performing version. This procedure isn't as simple as roaming through Play Store, but it might help you overcome the current issues you're facing.
Here's what you need to do:
- Navigate to APKMirror, here, and download an older (but recent) APK version of Snapchat. Beta versions are also an option but we suggest avoiding them due to the aforementioned stability issues.
- Uninstall the Snapchat app.
- Allow app installation from external sources.
- Install APK, sign in, and look for improvements.
Don't forget to tell us in the comments section below. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

Orienteering in Lockdown Condition – Tools for Training Support
Lenka Vojtíková, Jan Hnízdil, Josef Heidler, Martin Škopek
Introduction: The current times are influenced globally by the application of anti-epidemic measures to combat COVID-19. These are applied to varying degrees or an extent, but the common denominator is the frequent impossibility of running mass sports events. Sport or physical activities are thus suppressed, which is reflected in a decrease in physical activity and, therefore the condition of the population (Eurostat, 2020). Furthermore, the adverse effects of hypokinesis on an individual's health are documented in detail in the literature and generally accepted as a fact (Araújo, & Mesquita 2019; Vedukhina, Lobygina, & Sharapova, 2016).
Aim of study: This study aims to summarize and compare available applications that allow individuals to undergo physical activity based on the content of the sports industry,
which is orienteering, while respecting the limitations of pandemic restrictions aimed mainly at preventing the gathering of more people.
Methods and Materials: Theoretical methods were used, especially the descriptive and comparative methods. Many foreign sources and manuals related to individual applications were analyzed. User evaluation of these applications on web platforms was also taken into account. The described applications were assessed within an expert panel who assessed and evaluated the individual platforms within a uniform methodology. Pairwise comparison was used as a research technique.
Results: The result is a summarizing and comparative overview of individual applications, enabling the implementation of an activity based on the principle of
orienteering through digital technologies and respecting the limits that come with anti-pandemic restrictions, especially at the level of potential contact in gathering multiple people. The iOrienteering platform is evaluated as the most practical application; the MOBO application is the opposite end of the assessment scale.
Conclusion: The iOrienteering and O-range applications were evaluated as the most beneficial according to the specified criteria. The applications under consideration are
suitable for use under the current movement-restricting regime resulting from pandemic restrictions.

Urban Prairie - transformation of the Plaza to grassland
Canadian Museum of Civilizations Corporation
The Canadian Museum of Civilization, designed by Canadian architect Douglas Cardinal and inaugurated in 1989, is comprised of two pavilions, their architecture a startling embodiment of the country's distinguishing geographical features. The public display wing replicates the dramatic effect of the glaciers; the contours of the curatorial wing symbolize the majestic Canadian Shield; and the open Plaza simulates the vast Great Plains. The layout and sheer size of the Plaza were planned in such a way as to visually incorporate the Museum buildings and the Parliament Buildings perched across the Ottawa River. However, the Plaza's lack of appeal had left it empty of visitors for much of the year. To remedy the situation, we extended the Museum's original conceptual metaphor, bringing to life what had long remained latent: the swaying grasses of the Prairies.
The prairie topography has been recreated through hillocks interspersed across the Plaza and wound through by snaking pathways, suggestive both of the Museum's curves and the soft and undulating prairie landscape. The granite paving stones hug and accentuate the gently rising mounds. The introduction of an urban prairie to the environment creates a microclimate, increases biodiversity, lessens heat island effect, and improves air quality—in short, lures the public through an appeal to the senses, without in any way hindering the stunning view that defines the site.
With an aim to enriching the visitor's experience, our design of the Urban Prairie, spurred by the distinctive architecture of the Museum, evokes this sweeping expanse in the Canadian landscape.

Implementing Improved Slicing in ndarray 0.11
Implementation of combined slicing and subviews as a single operation in ndarray 0.11.0
ndarray 0.11 has a convenient new feature: combined slicing and subviews as a single operation. ndarray is a Rust crate that provides an n-dimensional array type and associated functionality for general elements and for numerics.
This article discusses the implementation of the new feature. It's a story of type hacking: zero-sized types, associated types, traits for compile-time type manipulation, and pointer casting.
The primary type in ndarray is the ArrayBase container type, which is represented internally as:
 - the data representation (e.g. a contiguous memory block for owned arrays),
 - a pointer to the first element,
 - a sequence of n axis lengths, and
 - a sequence of n axis strides.
The two generic type parameters in ArrayBase are:
 - S: the data ownership (owned arrays own the block of data; array views only have a pointer to it)
 - D: the dimensionality of the array (e.g. Ix1 for 1-D arrays, Ix2 for 2-D arrays, etc.)
ArrayBase is used for both owned arrays and views of arrays. Note that the number of dimensions of the array is typically fixed at compile time, although there is a dynamic dimension type IxDyn if needed.
Slicing methods such as.slice() create a view a subset of the data in an array. With a step other than 1, it's also possible to do things such as view every third index along an axis or reverse the order of an axis.
For example, let's say you have a 3-dimensional array of shape 2 × 2 × 3 (i.e. 2 submatrices of 2 rows and 3 columns):
let arr = array![[[ 1, 2, 3],
 [ 4, 5, 6]],
 [[ 7, 8, 9],
 [10, 11, 12]]];
assert_eq!(arr.shape(), &[2, 2, 3]);
You could create a slice with
 - Both of the submatrices, but in reverse order: 0..2;-1
 - The first row in each submatrix:..1
 - The even-index columns in each submatrix:..;2
let slice = arr.slice(s![0..2;-1, 0..1,..;2]);
 array![[[7, 9]],
 [[1, 3]]]
assert_eq!(slice.shape(), &[2, 1, 2]);
Here, slice is a view of a subset of arr (without copying).
Subview methods such as.subview() create a view restricted to a single index along an axis, and then remove that axis from the view. This produces a view with one dimension less than the input array.
For example, let's select the first (index 0) row in each submatrix (axis 1) of arr. The new shape is [2, 3] because axis 1 was removed from the view.
let subview = arr.subview(Axis(1), 0);
 array![[1, 2, 3],
 [7, 8, 9]]
assert_eq!(subview.shape(), &[2, 3]);
Combining slicing and subviews
ndarray 0.11 makes it possible to combine slicing and subviews in a single operation. To get the same result in earlier versions of ndarray, you'd have to chain together multiple.slice() and.into_subview() calls while being careful about their order. For example,
let arr = Array4::::zeros((12, 10, 6, 9));
// old
let slice = arr.slice(s![3..7,..,..;2,..]).into_subview(Axis(3), 5).into_subview(Axis(1), 4);
// new
let slice = arr.slice(s![3..7, 4,..;2, 5]);
In this example, 3..7 and..;2 indicate slices of axes 0 and 2, and 4 and 5 indicate subviews of axes 1 and 3. The new version is more concise and is easier to use correctly than a series of.slice() and.into_subview() calls.
Implementing this feature was interesting because so much needed to be handled at compile time. The goals were:
 1. Allow a combination of slicing and subviews in a single operation.
 2. Provide compile-time checking of the number of dimensions in the slicing argument. For example, it should be a compile-time error to call Array1::zeros(5).slice(s![..,..]).
 3. Determine at compile time the number of dimensions of the output array/view after slicing. (Otherwise, we'd always have to return a dynamic-dimensional array.)
 4. Provide a representation of slicing information that can be passed around or stored in a variable.
 5. Minimize the use of generic type parameters.
One option was to create a macro that expands to a series of.slice() and.into_subview() calls, like this:
slice!(arr, [3..7, 4,..;2, 5])
This approach was backwards-compatible, but it didn't address goal 4 (providing an object that could represent the slicing information). Additionally,
slice_move!(5 + &slice!(arr, [3..7, 4]) - 9, [..;2])
wasn't quite as easy to read as
(5 + &arr.slice(s![3..7, 4]) - 9).slice_move(s![..;2])
So, I decided to focus on modifying the s![] macro to support subviews.
Representing slicing information
The first step was to define a representation of the information necessary to perform a slice.
In earlier versions of ndarray, this was &[Si; n], where each instance of Si
pub struct Si(pub Ixs, pub Option, pub Ixs);
represented a slice of one axis. The signature of.slice() was
impl ArrayBase
 S: Data,
 D: Dimension,
 pub fn slice(&self, indexes: &D::SliceArg) -> ArrayView;
where D::SliceArg was [Si; n] for fixed-dimension arrays and [Si] for dynamic-dimension arrays. The s![] macro simply provided a compact way to construct a &[Si; n] instance.
In ndarray 0.11, the replacement for Si had to be able to represent either a range with step (slice) or an index (subview). Rust made this easy with an enum:
pub enum SliceOrIndex {
 Slice {
 start: isize,
 end: Option,
 step: isize,
Now that.slice() could take subviews in addition to slicing axes, the dimension of the output array/view could be different from the dimension of self. As a result, the function signature needed to have a generic parameter Do:
pub fn slice(&self, info: &SOMETHING_HERE) -> ArrayView
 Do: Dimension;
So, s![] couldn't just return &[SliceOrIndex; n]; it needed to include Do. The slicing information had two parts: the output dimension and the actual sequence of SliceOrIndex. I combined these in a struct
pub struct SliceInfo {
 out_dim: PhantomData,
 indices: T,
where T was [SliceOrIndex; n] when the SliceInfo was produced by s![].
Constructing SliceInfo
In order to construct a SliceInfo instance, the s![] macro had to build an array [SliceOrIndex; n] and determine the output dimension type after slicing. Both problems were solved with traits:
 - Use Into to convert each argument to SliceOrIndex.
 - Use a new trait SliceNextDim to determine the output dimension type.
The SliceNextDim trait provided a way to update the output dimension while iterating over the arguments.
pub trait SliceNextDim {
 fn next_dim(&self, PhantomData) -> PhantomData;
Starting with $dim = PhantomData (0-dimensional) and calling SliceNextDim(&$arg, $dim) on each argument $arg to update $dim determined the output dimension. The implementation of SliceNextDim for index (subview) arguments specified that D2 = D1 since the corresponding axes were not included in the output, while the implementation for range (slice) arguments specified that D2 = D1::Larger since the corresponding axes were included in the output.
This was great because all the types are determined automatically at compile time! The return type from s![] was &SliceInfo<[SliceOrIndex; n], D>.
Argument coercions
The signature for.slice() was now
pub fn slice(&self, info: &SliceInfo) -> ArrayView
 Do: Dimension;
where D::SliceArg was [SliceOrIndex; n] for fixed dimensions and [SliceOrIndex] for the dynamic dimension (IxDyn). Automatic coercion of

Terraform Cloud / Enterprise Workspaces vs. Spacelift Stacks
Terraform Cloud / Enterprise Workspaces vs. Spacelift Stacks
Terraform Automation and COllaboration Software (TACOS) are becoming an industry standard for managing Terraform codebases at scale. Two of the most popular tools in this space are Spacelift and Terraform Cloud/Enterprise.
In this post, we will compare how their core building blocks work and what you can achieve with them.
 1. What is a Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspace?
 2. Working with Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspaces – example
 3. What is a Spacelift stack?
 4. Working with Spacelift stack – example
 5. Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspaces vs. Spacelift stacks
What is a Terraform Cloud workspace?
A Terraform Cloud (TFC) Workspace is a combination of the source code, a git branch, the tool you are using, and a specified path. They include the Terraform configuration, variable values, state, and credentials, which are stored in different ways compared to local Terraform.
For instance, configurations are stored in version control repositories or uploaded via API/CLI, and variable values and credentials, and secrets are stored within the workspace itself. Furthermore, Terraform Cloud retains a history of state versions and runs activities for each workspace, providing a comprehensive record of infrastructure management over time.
Terraform Cloud vs. Terraform CLI workspaces
If you are using Terraform from the CLI, you are probably familiar with the solution they propose for reusing a Terraform configuration — workspaces. In contrast with Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspaces, Terraform CLI workspaces manage separate state instances within a single directory, appropriate for deploying similar infrastructures with minor variations but not suitable for complex deployments requiring distinct access controls.
While Terraform Cloud workspaces facilitate executing runs, storing, and versioning state files in a shared, cloud-based environment, CLI workspaces offer a simpler approach for managing different states of infrastructure in less complex scenarios.
Terraform Cloud projects vs. workspaces
Projects in Terraform Cloud/Enterprise are a higher-level organizational tool, used to group and manage related workspaces. They provide an additional layer of structure, helping larger companies organize their workspaces according to specific criteria, such as department, application, or environment type.
Essentially, while workspaces are used for managing specific collections of infrastructure resources, projects are used to organize and manage these workspaces themselves, allowing for more streamlined operations and governance across larger and more complex Terraform implementations.
Working with Terraform Cloud workspaces - example
Let's see how to create and delete Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspaces.
How to create a Terraform Cloud Workspace
First, you will need to log in to Terraform Cloud/Enterprise. The next step is to go to Project & Workspaces and select New. You will be redirected to the following screen:
create terraform cloud workspace
Here, you will need to select a workflow type, but for most use cases, you will select the Version Control Workflow. Selecting this takes you to the next screen:
tfc version control workflow workspace
Here, you need to select your version control provider. You can choose any of the providers you have configured for your account. In my case, I just connected my GitHub account, so I'll select it. Terraform Cloud/Enterprise also supports Gitlab, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps.
terraform cloud workspace repository
In the next step, you will need to select a repository, and you can even filter based on name.
tfc workspace settings
Next, you need to add a name for your workspace, a project in which you want it to reside, and an optional description. You can also configure some advanced options such as:
 - Terraform Working Directory
 - Auto-Apply Settings
 - VCS Triggers
 - Pull-Request basic behavior
 - Include submodules or clone
terraform cloud workspaces advanced options
This is everything you can configure on Terraform Cloud/Enterprise before the workspace is created.
After you click on Create, your workspace becomes available.
tfc workspaces
In the workspace itself, you can see all the details associated with your workspace, such as the number of resources it has deployed and what terraform version it is using. You can also unlock options such as starting a plan or configuring the environment variables.
To add other things to your workspace, you will need to go to settings. In this tab, you can enable notifications, attach policies (remember you have only one policy set with a maximum of five policies in the free and standard tiers), integrate with supported third-party tools via run tasks (note that you can integrate with only one tool, and this can be attached to a maximum of ten workspaces in the free and standard tiers), view team access, and others:
workspace settings
How to delete a Terraform Cloud Workspace
To delete a Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspace, navigate to the Terraform Cloud UI, select the workspace you wish to remove, and then use the workspace settings to select the Destruction and Deletion option.

delete a terraform cloud workspace
Deleting the workspace from Terraform Cloud/Enterprise won't delete its associated resources, so you need to ensure that you first queue a destroy plan and apply it, and then delete the associated workspace.
In a nutshell, to delete a Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspace you need to:
 - Go to SettingsDestruction and Deletion
 - Queue destroy plan and apply it
 - Use the Delete from Terraform Cloud/Enterprise option
What is a Spacelift stack?
At a high level, Spacelift stacks are pretty similar to Terraform Cloud/Enterprise workspaces, in the sense that they also combine source code, a git branch, a tool you are using, and a directory. We will discuss some very important differences between them below.
Working with Spacelift stack - example
To create a Spacelift stack, go to Stacks and select Create Stack. On the left-hand side, you will see all the options that can be configured:
 - Stack details
 - Integrate VCS
 - Choose vendor
 - Define behavior (Optional)
 - Add hooks (Optional)
 - Attach cloud integrations (Optional)
 - Attach policies (Optional)
 - Attach context (Optional)
 - Summary
First, define a name for your stack, the space in which it resides, and an optional description and optional labels. Labels' basic capability is to help users filter their stacks, but they can do far more than this. By using special labels, you can view plans directly on pull requests, and you can even auto-attach policies and contexts.
create spacelift stack
After you have added all the details related to your stack, the next step is to select your VCS repository.
spacelift stack repository
In my account, I have configured only GitHub, but Spacelift also supports Gitlab, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps, as well as using a Raw Git repository that you don't even have to own. Apart from specifying the working directory, you also can select project globs, so whenever there is a change to another directory, this could trigger runs for you.
stack tools
Unlike Terraform Cloud/Enterprise, Spacelift supports multiple tools. As well as supporting Terraform, Spacelift allows you to use OpenTofu and any custom binary built from OpenTofu and Terraform. In addition, you can run Pulumi, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Terragrunt, and Ansible.
After you select a tool and have done the configurations required for it, click create and continue and then choose to either select the parts you want to configure or proceed through all the steps.
spacelift stack configuration
I will walk you through all the steps that can be configured:
additional spacelift stack settings
In this section, you can select:
 - whether you want your stack to use the public worker pool or a private one that you configure
 - whether you want to use your own runner image
 - whether the stack should be administrative — Spacelift has its own Terraform/OpenTofu provider. This option allows you to manage Spacelift with Spacelift without having to provide credentials.
 - whether you want to allow run promotion
 - whether you want to do auto-deploy and auto-retry
 - whether you want to see local previews using Spacelift's cli called spacectl.
 - whether you want to protect the stack from deletion
As you can see, you can configure many more options in this section than you can with Terraform Cloud/Enterprise's capabilities.
stack hooks
As the above screen shows, you can customize what happens before and after every runner phase, enabling you to install, configure, and run any tools you want, without being limited to a single run task. This functionality is available from the free tier too.
In the next section, you can attach a cloud integration for dynamic credentials. Although you can choose from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, I have only configured sets of AWS credentials in my account, so that's why only this option is visible.
stack cloud integration
Spacelift supports multiple policy types, not only plan and approval. You unlock the plan and approval ones from the free tier, attaching as many policies as you can attach to


How Does CC Work?
Correspondence Chess
US Chess Correspondence Chess (CC) is a great way to improve your game and have fun. You don't even have to leave home! You can play CC either by sending moves through the post office or through an electronic network. Since the majority of newcomers to CC choose to play by mail, let's concentrate on explaining how that format works.
US Chess correspondence play requires the use of algebraic notation (AN), unless you and your opponent agree to another form. AN is easy to learn, simple to use, and useful for enjoying chess columns and chess books. If you don't already know AN or need to brush up, click here.
As a newcomer, you must indicate on the tournament entry form your approximate playing strength. This enables us to pair you approximately with your opponents. Four rating levels are available. Class A: very strong; Class B: strong; Class C: Intermediate; and Class D: Novice. If you just learned how to play chess, you are considered a Novice. If you know how to play and write notation and are familiar with all aspects of the game, we suggest Class C.
When you receive your pairing sheet (as described below), regardless of which Class you noted, your rating will appear as "0000," When your first game is finished, we calculate your rating based on your result. If you're interested in the details of how the CC rating formula works, see our Correspondence Chess Ratings Explanation.
You now have a chess rating! Each Correspondence Chess game is rated as soon as it's finished. You may wish to enter more CC events, so having a chess rating will be helpful in matching you with new opponents.
As explained in the ratings explanation page, there are two rating formulas. If you have 25 or fewer games rated, you have a provisional rating. If you have more than 25 games rated, you have an established rating. Master level is achieved through performance.
You choose which event you wish to enter. You can play against one opponent, three opponents, or even six opponents. Tournament entry fees vary depending on the tournament format and the prizes involved.
For example, let's assume you're already a US Chess member and you want to enter a Class Tournament in which you play against three opponents. (That's the maximum we recommend for beginners.) Once you submit your entry fee (currently $10), we pair you with three other players with the same playing strength, according to the approximate strength you indicated on your entry form.
All four of you are sent a copy of the same pairing sheet. Players are given numbers 1 through 4, and playing assignments are noted accordingly. The pairing sheet includes the name and addresses of your three opponents, as well as a tournament crosstable (explanation below). You will play a total of six games -- two against each of your three opponents, once as White and once as Black. After receiving the pairing sheet, note what player number you are assigned. Refer to the pairing chart and see whether or not you have to mail your first White moves to any of your opponents.
It's possible that you are assigned Black for all three first games. In that case, wait to receive a White move for Game A from your three opponents. After you receive each opponent's first White move, respond with your Black move. At the same time, send your first White move for Game B on the same postcard. After the first moves have been exchanged, you will be sending two moves each time; one move for Game A and another for Game B.
Along with your pairing sheet, you will receive information regarding CC rules, chess notation, rating calculation, and game-result reporting slips.
Please read the rule booklet as soon as you receive the pairing sheet. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Alex Dunne, US Chess Correspondence Chess Director, PO Box 367, Sayre, PA 18840 or email Alex at: [email protected].
If you are asking, "How do we keep track of time?" -- it's easy. We allow 30 days of reflection time to make every 10 moves. Unused time can be carried forward to the next 10-move series, which allows you plenty of time later in the game when you want to ponder a position!
If you receive a move from your opponent today and you get your reply move postmarked the same day, you used zero days of reflection time. If your reply is posted the next day, you used one day, etc.
Move-mailing postcards are also highly recommended*. You can record moves for several games. Fill in the information blanks for each move transmission, and the other information that we require be sent with each move. A blank diagram is printed on the reverse side of the card. (You don't have to diagram the position with each move transmission, however.)
Example: Today's date is 9/6/06. The section number is 06CD101. If you're sending your first move as White, you wouldn't have a card from your opponent. Thus, you won't be noting any postmark. "Received date" is the date you received the tournament pairing sheet/opponent's move. If you receive and sent your reply move on the same day and your postmark is also the same date, your reflection time is zero days. Let's say your reply date is 9/7/06. "My time," meaning your reflection time used on the move, would be one day -- provided you receive a postmark date of 9/7/06. Your total time would be one day, since this is move 1. "Your time" refers to the reflection time your opponent used. Since this is move 1 of Game A, there's no need to fill in these blanks. (However, if you were on move 2, you would have to give an account of what your opponent's reflection time calculation as of this move.)
Game A: Since you're playing White, your name goes in the blank box above "White" and your opponent's name goes in the blank box above "Black." Below the box labeled "Game A," under "Move no.," write "1." In the next blank box to the right, note your first move; for example "e4." This is all you would send at this time, because you can't send a move for Game B until you receive your opponent's first White move for that game.
You may be asking, "Why so many blank boxes to write just one move for each game?" Once you receive your opponent's move, you're required to note what your opponent's move was, along with your reply. This enables your opponent to be sure you understood and noted his move correctly.
"If" moves are also an option. These are moves you offer based on your opponent's acceptance of certain moves. Newcomers are not advised to use "if" moves.
Once your move-mailing card is filled in, write the names and addresses, put on the correct postage, and pop the card in the mail!
The crosstable allows everyone to keep track of the game results. Since we have discussed Class tournaments, let's continue by filling in a crosstable for a Class tournament. (double-round robin format)
You'll recall that in Class tournaments, you play two games with each opponent.
The top four lines of the crosstable are for Game A results and the lower four lines are for Game B results. Let's say you're player number 2 and you beat player number 1 in both games.

City of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
The City of Saskatoon is located in western Canada, and has a population of approximately 200,000. The City continues to be anchored by a lush natural river valley as it was when it was founded in 1881.
As with most other North American towns and cities, Saskatoon faces many challenges in dealing with worn-out infrastructure. Prior to 1996, some reinvestment had occurred on high-volume collector and arterial roads, but virtually no major works had occurred on residential streets. Citizens had to wait for sewer and/or water system replacement projects before they could expect any major reconstruction of their street.
In 1995, City staff prepared a report for council that addressed the need for reinvestment in residential streets. The report, based on the findings of a comprehensive condition study and pavement management analysis, concluded that a significant investment was required in order to keep residential streets in a reasonable condition.
The report went on to discuss the potential for introducing micro-surfacing as a treatment for residential streets. Micro-surfacing is a mixture of emulsion, aggregate, water, and mineral filler which is cold-placed in a thin layer on the road surface, thus sealing surface irregularities and reducing moisture infiltration into the road structure. Micro-surfacing was invented in the 1930s in Germany, and has been used successfully by many agencies throughout the world as a pavement preservation treatment.
Based on a life-cycle cost analysis, the report concluded that should micro-surfacing be introduced as a treatment in Saskatoon, the five-year funding requirements for the network would be approximately $3.9 million.
If only "traditional" methods of treatment were used, the average annual investment required to keep streets in a similar overall condition would be $8.1 million. In Saskatoon, "traditional" meant to perform routine maintenance until the road failed; then reconstruct.
City council accepted the report, including administration's recommendation to introduce micro-surfacing as a treatment, and dedicated $1.25 million dollars for the 1996 construction season.
In 1996 and every year since, the City has tendered a yearly micro-surfacing program for residential streets. The objectives of the program are to repair road failures, ensure that there is positive drainage from the pavement surface, and resurface the pavement with micro-surfacing. Road repairs and leveling are performed by City crews using hot-mix asphalt for fills and road profilers for cuts. All micro-surfacing is carried out through publicly-tendered contracts.
One key to the success of the micro-surfacing program was convincing council, City staff, and the public that the City needed to spend money on roads that, from a driver's perspective, were performing fine. Preventive maintenance treatments, such as micro-surfacing, would prevent these roads from failing prematurely. The City could not dedicate sufficient funds at that time to both rehabilitate streets that had failed as well as perform micro-surfacing on streets requiring preventive maintenance.
City council accepted administration's recommendation to focus efforts on the preventive maintenance approach. Statements such as "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," or "think of it like changing oil in your carâ€"a small cost now will save you huge costs down the road" were often used to calm down taxpayers who didn't understand why we were fixing up other roads while their road was in need of reconstruction.
Council, administration, and the general public have raved about the program ever since its introduction. To date, approximately 24 percent of the City's residential streets have been micro-surfaced.
In 2000, City administration reviewed the condition of micro-surfaced streets in order to determine whether the treatment was meeting the desired intent. Failures were measured and categorized as either "delamination" failures (micro-surface had peeled off) or "thinness" failures (micro-surface had worn through).
Of the 461,886 square metres that were rated, only 1.1 percent (4,968) square metres had failed. Further analysis showed that, on average, micro-surfacing on residential streets was failing at a rate of 0.4 percent per year (4 square metres failed for every 1,000 square metres placed). This failure rate exceeded administration's expectations and confirmed observations that the treatment was performing extremely well. Success of the program is attributed to the skill and commitment of both the City crews who perform the preparatory work as well as the contractors who carry out the micro-surfacing itself.
The report also made two major recommendations for further work to be undertaken. The first recommendation was based on quantifying the overall cost effectiveness of the program. Although administration believes that the program is extremely cost effective, a comprehensive study, including life-cycle cost comparisons, needs to be done in order to ensure that the funding being dedicated to micro-surfacing is in fact the most appropriate way to preserve pavements.
The second recommendation is based on ensuring that life expectancy of the micro-surfacing treatment is maximized. "Influence factors," such as emulsion source, relative humidity during construction, mix design results, aggregate quality, application rate, and other factors will be tracked in detail during construction to help enable the City to develop correlations between these factors and actual performance. This type of analysis, combined with keeping on top of industry research and best practices, will help ensure that the City of Saskatoon is getting the maximum life out of our micro-surfacing treatment.
Due in large part to the success of the leveling/micro-surfacing initiative, the City of Saskatoon's residential streets are now in much better overall condition than they were in 1996. In 2000, council began phasing in an annual program of $1.5 million annually which is dedicated to the rehabilitation of residential streets that have failed completely.
The City is now reaping the benefits of a preventive maintenance approach. Had the City maintained our "fix it when it fails" approach rather than the micro-surfacing approach, we would be facing a much different residential street condition than we are now. The micro-surfacing program has allowed us to get the most out of our existing pavements, resulting in surplus funds that can now be used to rehabilitate roads that have reached the end of their service life.

New in IDL 8.6: IDLTasks
Anonym
ENVITasks have been around for a few years now, but they didn't help those of you who only have IDL and not ENVI as well. In IDL 8.6 we are happy to announce that the ENVITask concept has been carried over to work in pure IDL without ENVI. Many of the features are the same, but there are slight differences that I want to point out in this post.
The first and most obvious is how you construct an IDLTask. Rather than launch ENVI and then call the ENVITask()function, you can call the IDLTask()function at any point in time. As the help points out, you can pass in either a scalar string that is the name of the task you want or its filename, or you can pass in a Hash object that is the task definition (what you would get if you called JSON_Parse() on a task file). If you pass in a string that isn't a filename (relative or absolute), then it is treated as a task name. The function will then look at !PATH and search for all .task files in each folder listed there. It catalogs all the .task files it finds, but if there are multiple folders with the same base name only the first is recognized(just like how IDL handles multiple .pro or .sav files with the same base name found in !PATH). The list of .task files is filtered to those with the correct IDLTask schema, which currently is only "idltask_1.0". This way we don't accidentally pick up an ENVITask files and cause confusion. If a.task file with the same base name as the requested task name is found, it is used as the task definition. If no exact match is found, but partial matches exist, then helpful error messages are returned telling you about the name(s) that partially match, so you can correct your code. I should point out that the current working directory (which can be retrieved by calling CD with the CURRENT keyword) is searched before any of the folders in !PATH, so that can affect the behavior of IDLTask().
The "idltask_1.0" task schema used for IDLTasks in IDL 8.6 is very similar to the "envitask_3.0" schema used by ENVITasks in ENVI 5.4. The notable exception is that the TYPE property of your parameters won't understand ENVI class types like ENVIRaster. But all the basic datatypes available in IDL are supported by IDLTasks – strings, Booleans, and numbers, as well as List, Hash, OrderedHash, and Dictionary.
Another difference is how you interact with IDLTasks on GSF as opposed to ENVITasks. The service endpoint for IDLTasks will be http://hostname:port/ese/services/IDL,while the ENVITasks use http://hostname:port/ese/services/ENVI. The different endpoints are used to discriminate between the requests that should use the IDLTask() function vs the ENVITask() function to load the requested task.
Easy GSF deployment is one of the primary reasons you would want to build IDLTasks in the first place. If you have IDL functions or procedures that you are used to calling directly, then you are probably wondering why you would want to wrap them in an IDLTask. As a C++ developer in a previous life, I appreciated the type safety that C++ requires, so I also appreciate the parameter validation that IDLTasks provide. When developing your custom IDLTask, you will have to spend some time thinking about what the inputs and outputs are for your code, but once you do that you won't need to worry about writing lots of input validation code, the IDLTask framework will take care of that for you. The IDLTasks are also self-documenting like ENVITasks, so if someone else hands you a .task file and .sav file, you can load the task and then learn all about the parameter names, their types, cardinalities, and hopefully even descriptions. All of this information makes it possible to deploy your algorithms on GSF for running in the cloud, with all the same introspection capabilities over the REST endpoint. Alternatively, you can set up batch processing using some sort of folder watch capability to spawn IDLTaskEngine instances to automatically run your code on each file that appears on your system.

a typical SoDIMM.
The SoDIMM package proved so compelling it has been adapted for SDRAM modules. The SDRAM SoDIMMs are slightly longer than those used by older technologies, measuring 2.67 inches (67.6 millimeters) long.
As with full-size DIMMs, SDRAM SoDIMMs come in two physically incompatible styles for SDR and DDR.
SDR SoDIMMs have 144 contacts on their edge connectors. DDR modules have 200. Each style of SoDIMM has a single notch, but the position of the notch is different for SDR and DDR modules. With SDR modules, the notch is only slightly offset from the center; with DDR modules, the notch is near one edge (the pin 1 side) of the module. Figure 16.7 shows the difference in the notches used by the two varieties of SDRAM modules.

Permissions Issue
I have a VB.NET service which copies images form a local to a remote directory, when I set both local and remote to the same machine and give the remote folder write permissions to users of that machine everything works fine. However, when I set the remote directory to a mapped drive on our windows 2000 server and make sure the folder has write permissions for everyone it stops working
rocky050371Asked:
Who is Participating?

Shakti109Connect With a Mentor Commented:
When you define a named path (map a drive), an account gets associated with that named path.
If you don't explicitly define it when you map it, it is assumed to be the current user context. In doing this, it has no password associated with it (for obvious security reasons) and instead simply relies on the windows security service to have authenticated the user and have passed back the correct token.
When using a UNC path, there is nothing associated with the map, so it relies on the credentials you supply.
You CAN define a permanent map using a dos command, and associate an account that way, but it is more robust/flexible to simply use UNC paths.
Also, some programming commands break down when trying to use named paths (some WMI methods for example) and will simply "fail" with no good description.
When in doubt, use UNC pats :)

Shakti109Commented:
Are you giving the service a domain level account to use?
Services can run under different accounts (including localsystem). If the service is set to use localsystem (the default) it will not be able to do anything outside of the local machine.
Change the account the service runs under to a Domain level account that has permissions to the servers.

There are share-level permissions, and folder level permissions.
Just as a check, does that account have share-level permissions (read, write, etc) to the server\share?
Also , are you using a named drive path or a UNC?
Named path : d:\myfolder\here
UNC : \\RemoteServer\Share\Folder
If you are using a named path, change this to the UNC format and check the share-level permissions to make sure the account you are using has enough rights.

Using sand on roads is better than chemicals
on December 18, 2012 at 12:00 AM, updated December 18, 2012 at 12:01 AM
It has started. PennDOT and many local municipalities spread tons of chemicals to reduce ice and snow on our roads. I am not convinced they are environmentally safe.
In our development, they are often dropped in piles. They kill our grass and run off into our streams and are often spread when not necessary. Why not spread sand - not salt/chemicals? Support the local business economy, save my grass and our streams. It's less expensive and better all around.


POPIA and Community Schemes
POPIA and Community Schemes
POPIA sets out principles or conditions, and therefore a framework for lawful processing of personal information. It applies to any person or organisation who processes personal information. Its purpose is to protect personal information by ensuring transparent processing thereof.
Application to and by every community scheme within this framework will be unique. However certain matters will be the same for all schemes.
It protects certain basic human rights enshrined in our Constitution, such as a right to privacy, and it brings the South African statutory framework in line with a major piece of regulation in the European Union, namely the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Underlying Principle 1: The fundamental building block, purpose and point of departure of POPIA is to safeguard personal information against misuse when processed "by parties given this responsibility in the act (designated the responsible party) to "give effect to (our) constitutional right to privacy, and to ensure transparency when dealing with personal information.
POPIA limits and balances this fundamental purpose by recognising and allowing for other constitutional rights, such as the right to access of information, and interests such as the free flow of information.

How old is Mecca? (and other follow up questions)
How old is Mecca?
When was the city first built?
Did Abraham and Ishmael first purify the Ka'ba, build Mecca, and institute the Hajj as it seems to say in 2:125-127?
Did Abraham really instruct his sons to follow the command to perform the Hajj?
Did they say that they would?
Then why does the Bible show absolutely no record of any of them performing the Hajj?
Why didn't Moses include the Hajj when he instituted the Torah for all of Israel to follow?
If Allah promises He will not allow people to stray from a rightly guided practice (9:115) then why did worship at the Ka'ba become so idolatrous?
Why were there other Ka'bas of similar age, size, and style in many other cities around the Arabian peninsula?
Did Abraham live around 2000 BCE?
Did Solomon?
Did Solomon really build Solomon's Temple?
If there are more than a thousand years between the two then why do two different universally accepted Hadiths both say the Ka'ba was built 40 years before Solomon's Temple?
If Solomon is a prophet according to the Quran, why would he build a different Temple in Jerusalem rather than instructing the people he rules to perform the Hajj?
Had Allah rejected worship at the now idolatrous Ka'ba in favor of this new Temple?
Is that why Muhammad first had his followers when praying to face towards Jerusalem?
Why do some of the earliest of Mosques not face towards Jerusalem or Mecca but rather toward Petra?
How old is Mecca?
Was it really the "Mother of all Cities" (6:92, 42:7)?
When Nabonidus, king of Babylon, lists the six most important oasis towns in the Arabian Desert, why does Medina make the list but not Mecca?
If Mecca was a trading city then why do none of the known ancient spice trade routes run through it?
If it wasn't a trading city, then why and how did it even exist before being the religious center for Islam?
Why is there no mention of it in any of the numerous maps, histories, or travelogues written on the Arabian peninsula prior to the seventh century CE?
Why Mecca not once mentioned in an uncontested document prior to 740 CE (over 100 years after Muhammad's death)?
Why does Mecca not exist on a single map dated prior to around 900 CE?
If the Quran is true then why does all of history, archaeology, ancient cartography, ancient religious practices, and basic ancient geographic facts all point to the fact that Mecca could not have existed prior to around 400 CE at the earliest and possibly as much as 150 years after this?
If the Quran is true, then why is there absolutely no evidence anywhere that it was a significant city until well after the death of Muhammad?
But if the Quran is not true…
