Find memory leaks in iOS apps with XCode Instruments

Nowadays, more and more apps are shipped to an app store, to make your app stand out in the crowd, your app should be consuming less memory while providing faster and better user experience.

Apple provides great tools along with the Xcode to profile the application for finding the memory leaks and other great bug detection tools. Today I will guide you through small sample demo how you can detect the leaks in the application.

Steps to follow.

1 ) First Download sample project link provided at the end for the debugging the leaks in the sample application.

When you run the application, you will find that memory consumed by an application is increasing when you follow the below steps:

  1. Go to tableview containing the list of an image.

  2. Click on the image to see the details.

  3. Go back to table view of the images.

  4. Follow this step for around 30 - 40 times.

You can see the memory usage of your application is increasing continuously.

To track down the memory issues in your application, you can use allocations tool provided by apple. Let’s start with a sample application to get familiar with it.

2 ) Prepare your application for catching memory leaks.

Apple provides a great tool called instruments for finding the memory leaks in an application. To use it,

Select Product > Profile in your Xcode.

Select the Allocations in the profiler.

Pressrecord.png button provided inside the window. This will start your application normally.

3 ) Analyse your application for the memory leaks.

Now start using the application as normal. To get the bug of leaks user should repeat the step in an application which causes the memory to grow.

In our case when you go back and forth from the  SecondViewController to DetailViewController memory grows so much. Do it around 30 - 35 times, then click the Pause button.

You will see the graph like shown below, where it is continuously growing. It means that there is a memory leak in the application. So let’s find it out.

Screen Shot 2016-10-29 at 5.43.12 PM.png

There are several things to keep in mind.

1. Here, we will select the Details > Call Trees, which will show you the list of the lines with memory consumption.

Select the line with most Bytes used. See below image for the same

2. You can see many system calls are there which are not useful for our purpose. You can simply hide those calls from a list by checking the option of Hiding System Libraries in Display Settings.

3. Also, assure that Record reference counts are checked, this will be useful for the tracking down the leaks.

Now, Call Tree will be showing the Tree View with the familiar method like below.

Now select the line to go into the details for the memory leaks, will lead to code inside the editor that might be causing the memory issue. In the following case, code snippet shown is found as below.

Screen Shot 2016-12-10 at 3.29.21 PM.png

For more assurance select the Details > Statistics and search for the,DetailViewController where we are facing the issue.

As you can see in above image 27 instances are created, but no instance is released. Select it to get the list of the instances for it.

Select any of them since all are of the same kind to track down the problem. When you will select any of them, It will show below the screen.

Make sure you have selected Unpaired for better filtering of the list. Find the line where the Responsible Library is declared other than UIKit and whose Event type is "retain" and not associated Release is created. Since there

must be every Retain to be Released for every Responsible Caller.

In our case, it's on line 129 where Retain has no associated Release type. It point to viewDidLoad() method in DetailViewController. So we are now sure of the memory problem created on the viewDidLoad()

If we observe the code closely, we can infer that, data variable is loading the file from the path inside the viewDidLoad() method. When the DetailViewController is popped it automatically gets released.

Let’s take a look at line self.imageView.delegate = self ,

It is suspicious because we don’t know the what variable imageView is holding. Go to CustomImageView class.

So here the problem is, variable var delegate is of kind AnyObject? and by default it is strong.

We are assigning the DetailViewController object to this delegate which is self. This is creating the strong reference cycle between the DetailViewController and CustomImageView.

Since the CustomImageView is a child of the DetailViewController it should be defined as a weak variable to solve the memory leak as the general practice. So Let’s correct it and rerun the app.

When we again run the application, our problem is solved.

National Standard Operating Procedures

The 'Patrol Operations Manual (POM)' has been replaced by National Standard Operating Procedures (NSOPs) and Club/Service Operating Procedures (CSOPs) as of the 2020/2021 season.

Attention to the NSOPs and CSOPs should ensure that all volunteer and/or paid roles are informed of all operational expectations. The procedures are written in compliance with relevant government legislation and regulations.

National Standard Operating Procedures (NSOPs)

NSOPs set out minimum standards to safely undertake SLS Operations. These procedures are to be achieved by all clubs. It is important that every club and key individuals within clubs i.e. patrol captains, deputy patrol captains, coaches and other personnel responsible for managing and/or leading others, read, understand and follow the NSOPs at all times.

Club/Service Standard Operating Procedures (CSOPs)

CSOPs provide important club specific information, and procedures that are unique to the club building, environment and scope of operations. CSOPs are an extension of the NSOPs and detail further localised procedural information set out by the club.  Every lifeguard, member or volunteer undertaking club duties e.g. driving an ATV, filing a fuel bladder, should be familiar with the content of the CSOPs for the duty they are undertaking. CSOPs can be found in the club’s operations toolbox or in the club patrol tower.

@FPS-01461 Resized.jpg

Below is the ‘Document Library’ that contains all current NSOPs, please note they are electronically controlled documents and the most current version is always here. You can either download the complete NSOP Booklet or individual NSOPs as required below.  Click below for the full NSOP Manual.

9th July, 1897.

DEAR SISTER, (Miss Mary Hale.)

I am very sorry to read between the lines the desponding tone of your letter, and I understand the cause; thank you for your warning, I understand your motive perfectly. I had arranged to go with Ajit Singh to England; but the doctors not allowing, it fell through. I shall be so happy to learn that Harriet has met him. He will be only too glad to meet any of you.

I had also a lot of cuttings from different American papers fearfully criticising my utterances about American women and furnishing me with the strange news that I had been outcasted! As if I had any caste to lose, being a Sannyâsin!

Not only no caste has been lost, but it has considerably shattered the opposition to sea-voyage — my going to the West. If I should have to be outcasted, it would be with half the ruling princes of India and almost all of educated India. On the other hand, a leading Raja of the caste to which I belonged before my entering the order got up a banquet in my honour, at which were most of the big bugs of that caste. The Sannyasins, on the other hand, may not dine with any one in India, as it would be beneath the dignity of gods to dine with mere mortals. They are regarded as Nârâyanas, while the others are mere men. And dear Mary, these feet have been washed and wiped and worshipped by the descendants of kings, and there has been a progress through the country which none ever commanded in India.

It will suffice to say that the police were necessary to keep order if I ventured out into the street! That is outcasting indeed! Of course, that took the starch out of the missionaries, and who are they here? — Nobodies. We are in blissful ignorance of their existence all the time. I had in a lecture said something about the missionaries and the origin of that species except the English Church gentlemen, and in that connection had to refer to the very churchy women of America and their power of inventing scandals. This the missionaries are parading as an attack on American women en masse to undo my work there, as they well know that anything said against themselves will rather please the U.S. people. My dear Mary, supposing I had said all sorts of fearful things against the “Yanks” — would that be paying off a millionth part of what they say of our mothers and sisters? “Neptune’s waters” would be perfectly useless to wash off the hatred the Christian “Yanks” of both sexes bear to us “heathens of India” — and what harm have we done them? Let the “Yanks” learn to be patient under criticism and then criticise others. It is a well-known psychological fact that those who are ever ready to abuse others cannot bear the slightest touch of criticism from others. Then again, what do I owe them? Except your family, Mrs. Bull, the Leggetts, and a few other kind persons, who else has been kind to me? Who came forward to help me work out my ideas? I had to work till I am at death’s door and had to spend nearly the whole of that energy in America, so that the Americans may learn to be broader and more spiritual. In England I worked only six months. There was not a breath of scandal save one, and that was the working of an American woman, which greatly relieved my English friends — not only no attacks but many of the best English Church clergymen became my firm friends, and without asking I got much help for my work, and I am sure to get much more. There is a society watching my work and getting help for it, and four respectable persons followed me to India to help my work, and dozens were ready, and the next time I go, hundreds will be.

Dear, dear Mary, do not be afraid for me. . . The world is big, very big, and there must be some place for me even if the “Yankees” rage. Anyhow, I am quite satisfied with my work. I never planned anything. I have taken things as they came. Only one idea was burning in my brain — to start the machine for elevating the Indian masses — and that I have succeeded in doing to a certain extent. It would have made your heart glad to see how my boys are working in the midst of famine and disease and misery — nursing by the mat-bed of the cholera-stricken Pariah and feeding the starving Chandâla — and the Lord sends help to me and to them all. “What are men?” He is with me, the Beloved, He was when I was in America, in England, when I was roaming about unknown from place to place in India. What do I care about what they talk — the babies, they do not know any better. What! I, who have realised the Spirit and the vanity of all earthly nonsense, to be swerved from my path by babies’ prattle! Do I look like that?

I had to talk a lot about myself because I owned that to you. I feel my task is done — at most three or four years more of life are left. I have lost all wish for my salvation. I never wanted earthly enjoyments. I must see my machine in strong working order, and then knowing sure that I have put in a lever for the good of humanity, in India at least, which no power can drive back, I will sleep, without caring what will be next; and may I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls — and above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.

“He who is in you and is outside of you, who works through every hand, who walks through every foot, whose body you are, Him worship, and break all other idols.

“He who is the high and the low, the saint and the sinner, the god and the worm, Him worship, the visible, the knowable, the real, the omnipresent, break all other idols.

“In whom there is neither past life nor future birth, nor death nor going or coming, in whom we always have been and always will be one, Him worship, break all other idols.

“Ay, fools, neglecting the living Gods and His infinite reflection with which the world is full, and running after imaginary shadows! Him worship, the only visible, and break all other idols.”

My time is short. I have got to unbreast whatever I have to say, without caring if it smarts some or irritates others. Therefore, my dear Mary, do not be frightened at whatever drops from my lips, for the power behind me is not Vivekananda but He the Lord, and He knows best. If I have to please the world, that will be injuring the world; the voice of the majority is wrong, seeing that they govern and make the sad state of the world. Every new thought must create opposition — in the civilised a polite sneer, in the vulgar savage howls and filthy scandals.

Even these earthworms must stand erect, even children must see light. The Americans are drunk with new wine. A hundred waves of prosperity have come and gone over my country. We have learned the lesson which no child can yet understand. It is vanity. This hideous world is Maya. Renounce and be happy. Give up the idea of sex and possessions. There is no other bond. Marriage and sex and money are the only living devils. All earthly love proceeds from the body. No sex, no possessions; as these fall off, the eyes open to spiritual vision. The soul regains its own infinite power. How I wish I were in England to see Harriet. I have one wish left — to see you four sisters before I die, and that must happen.

Yours ever affly.,

My father and mother fasted and prayed for years and years, so that I would be born.

I have such a memory when I was only two years old I used to play with my syce, at being a Vairagi, clothed in ashes and Kaupina. And if a Sadhu came to beg, they would lock me in upstairs to prevent my giving too much away. I felt that for some mischief, I had had to be sent away from Siva. No doubt my family increased this feeling, for when I was naughty they would say “Dear, dear, so many austerities, yet Siva sent us this demon after all, instead of a good soul!” Or when I was very rebellious, they would empty a can of water over me, saying Siva! Siva! and then I was all right. Always, even now, when I feel mischievous, those words keep me straight.

When I was a little boy at school, I had a fight with another fellow about some sweetmeats, and he being the stronger boy, snatched them from my hand. I remember the feeling I had; I thought that boy was the most wicked boy ever born, and that as soon as I grew strong enough I would punish him, There was no punishment sufficient for his wickedness. We have both grown up now and we are fast friends. This world is full of babies to whom eating and drinking and all these little cakes are everything. They will dream of these cakes, and their idea of future life is where these cakes will be plentiful.

What I saw and felt (on my way to Raipur in 1877)1 when going through the forest, has for ever remained firmly imprinted on my memory, particularly one event of one day. We had to travel by the foot of the Vindhya mountains of high peaks on that day. The peaks of the Ranges on both sides of the road were very high in the sky, bending under the weight of fruits and flowers. Various kinds of trees and creepers produced wonderful beauty on the sides of the mountains, birds of various colours flying from arbour to arbour or down on the ground in search of food, filled the quarters with sweet notes.

I saw all these and felt an extraordinary peace in my mind. The slowly moving bullock cart arrived at a place where two mountain peaks coming forward as in love, locked themselves up in an embrace over the narrow forest path. Observing carefully below the meeting points, I saw that there was a very big cleft from the crest to the foot of this mountain on one side of the path, cfad filling that cleft, there was hanging on it an enormous honeycomb, the result of the bees’ labour for ages. Filled with wonder, as I was pondering over the beginning and the end of that kingdom of bees, my mind became so much absorbed in the thought of the infinite power of God, the Controller of the three worlds, that I completly lost my consciousness of the external world for some time. I do not remember how long I lay in the bullock cart in that condition. When I regained external consciousness, I found that we had crossed that place and come far away. As I was alone in the cart, no one could know anything about it.

We cannot deny that there is much misery in the world; to go out and help others is, therefore, the best thing we can do, although in the long run we shall find that helping others is only helping ourselves. As a boy I had some white mice. They were kept in a little box which had little wheels made for them, and when the mice tried to cross the wheels, the wheels turned and turned, and the mice never got anywhere. So it is with the world and our helping it. The only help is that we get moral exercise.

When he (my tutor) came to our house, I brought my English and Bengali Books to him and showing him which part of which books were to be learnt that day, I lay or sat freely. The teacher repeated twice or thrice the spelling, pronunciation, meaning etc. of the words of these portions of the books, as if he was himself learning his own lesson and went away. That was sufficient for me to learn them.

Even while I was a student at Calcutta, I was of a religious temperament. I was critical even at that time of my life, mere words would not satisfy me.

I used to see all my life a wonderful point of light between my eyebrows as soon as I would shut my eyes in order to go to sleep, and observe attentively its various changes. In order that it might be convenient to see it, I used to lie on my bed in the way people bow down touching the ground with their foreheads. That extraordinary point used to change its colours, and increasing in size, become gradually converted into the form of a ball, and bursting at last, cover my body from head to foot with white liquid light. As soon as that happened, I lost external conciousness and fell asleep. I believed that all people went to sleep that way. I was long under that impression.

When I grew up and began to practice meditation, that point of light used to come before me, first of all, as soon as I closed my eyes, and I concentrated my mind on it. In those days I daily practised meditation with a few friends according to the instruction of Maharshi Devend-ranath. We talked among ourselves about the nature of visions and experiences each of us had. At that time I came to know from what they said that they never had the vision of such light and that none of them went to sleep in that way.

From my very boyhood I was a dare-devil sort of fellow. Otherwise do you think I could make a tour round the world without a single copper in my pocket?

While at school, one night I was meditating within closed doors and had a fairly deep concentration of mind. How long I meditated in that way, I cannot say.

It was over, and I still kept my seat, when from the southern wall of our room a luminous figure stepped out and stood in front of me. There was a wonderful radiance on its visage, yet there seemed to be no play of emotion on it. It was the figure of a sanyasin absolutely calm, shaven headed, and staff and kamandalu (a sanya-sin’s wooden water-bowl) in hand. He gazed at me for some time, and seemed as if he would address me. I too gazed at him in speechless wonder. Then a kind of fright seized me. I opened the door and hurried out of the room. Then it struck me that it was foolish of me to run away like that, and that perhaps he might say something to me. But I have never met that figure since. Many a time and often have I thought if I could again see him, I would no more be afraid but would speak to him. But I met him no more; I could find no clue to its solution. It was the lord Buddha whom I saw.

From my very boyhood, whenever I came in contact with a particular object, man or place, it would sometimes appear to me as if I had been acquainted with it beforehand. But all my efforts to recollect were unsuccessful, and yet the impression persisted. I will give you an instance. One day I was discussing various topics with my friends at a particular place. Suddenly something was said which at once reminded me that in some time past in this very house I had talked with these friends on that very subject and that the discussion had even taken the same turn. Later on I thought that it might be due to the law of transmigration. But soon I decided that such definite conclusions on the subject were not reasonable. Now I believe that before I was born I must have had visions somehow of those subjects and people with whom I would have to come in contact in my present birth. That memory comes, every now and then, before me throughout my whole life.

Just two or three days before the Entrance examination I found that I hardly knew anything of geometry. Then I began to study the subject keeping awake for the whole night and in course of twenty four hours I mastered the four books of geometry.

It so happened that I could understand an author without reading his book line by line. I could get the meaning by just reading the first and the last line of a paragraph. As this power developed I found it unnecessary to read even the paragraphs. I could follow by reading only the first and last lines of the page.

Further, where the author introduced a discussion to explain a matter and it took him four or five or even more pages to clear the subject, I could grasp the whole trend of his arguments by only reading the first few lines.

I studied hard for twelve years, and became a graduate of the Calcutta University.

As soon as I went to bed, two ideals appeared before me every night since I had reached my youth. One vision presented me as a person of endless wealth and property, innumerable servants and dependants, high rank and dignity, great pomp and power and I thought I was seated at the head of those who were called big men in the world. I felt I certainly had that power in me. Again, the next moment, I felt as if I had renounced everything of the world and putting on a loin cloth, eating whatever was available without effort and spending nights under trees, depending upon God’s will only, I was leading my life. I felt I could live the life of Rishis and Munis if I would.

These two pictures, according to which I could mould my life in two different ways, thus arose in my mind. But the latter would grip the mind in the end. I thought that in this way alone man could attain real bliss and that I would follow this path and not the other. Brooding on the happiness of such a life, my mind would then merge in the contemplation of God and I would fall asleep. It is a matter of astonishment that it happened to me, every night for a long time.

I never terrified children by speaking of hobgoblins as I was afraid of uttering a falsehood, and scolded all whom I saw doing it. As {he result of English education and my frequenting the Brahmo Samaj, the devotion to verbal expression of truth had increased so much then.

At the beginning of this century (19th) it was almost feared that religion was at an end. Under the tremendous sledge-hammer blows of scientific research, old superstitions were crumbling away like masses of porcelain. Those to whom religion meant only a bundle of creeds and meaningless ceremonials were in despair; they were at their wit’s end. Everything was slipping between their fingers. For a time it seemed inevitable that the surging tide of agnosticism and materialism would sweep all before it. When I was a boy, this scepticism reached me, and it seemed for a time as if I must give up all hopes of religion. But, fortunately for me, I studied the Christian religion, the Mohammedan, the Buddhist and others, and what was my surprise to find was that the same fundamental principles taught by my religion were also taught by all religions. It appealed to me this way.” What is the truth”, I asked.

When I was a boy here, in the city of Calcutta, I used to go from place to place in search of religion, and everywhere I asked the lectures after hearing very big lectures,Have you seen God?” The man was taken aback at the idea of seeing God and the only man who told me ”I have” was Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, and not only so, but he said “I will put you on the way of seeing Him too”.

He is born to no purpose, who, having the privilege of being born a man, is unable to realise God in this life.

Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divine within, by controlling nature external and internal.

In the year 1877, while Vivekananda (then Naren) was a student of third class, his father went to Raipur in the Central Provinces (Madhya Pradesh). He arranged that this family should follow him later on led by Naren. It was a journey partly by bullock cart via Allahabad and Jubbulpore through dense forests and over unfrequented roads, for the railways were in those days constructed only upto Nagpur.

Taiwanese scientists isolate gene that spurs spread of cancer

Team of Taiwanese scientists at Academia Sinica have identified the gene that causes the spread of the majority of cancers

Jou Yuh-shan.

Jou Yuh-shan. (CNA photo)

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- After 10 years of research, a team of Taiwanese scientists have identified the gene responsible for the spread of cancer in the body for 60 to 70 percent of all cancer cases, reported UDN.

Jou Yuh-shan (周玉山), a research fellow at Academia Sinica, announced at a press conference on Wednesday (May 2), that a team of scientists has discovered a gene called the paraspeckle component 1 (PSPC1), which they found controls the metastasis of cancer cells and can even control the function of other genes to prevent apoptosis (process of programmed cell death) in cancer cells and prolong their survival. The scientists found that between 60 to 70 percent of late stage cancer tumor cells had a large amount of PSPC1 present, including breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer.

Jou said that PSPC1 not only promotes cancer cell proliferation, but it also turns regular cells into mobile cells, promotes cancer metastasis, and even develops cancer stem cells that cause tumors and build resistance against cancer treatment drugs. It also hijacks transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1) to prevent cell apoptosis, enabling cancer cells to survive.

Jou explained that TGF-β1 is a double-edged sword because in normal cells it controls cell proliferation and induces apoptosis, however, once the human body suffers from cancer, a high expression of PSPC1 will convert the function of TGF-β1 to promote the survival and growth of cancer cells.

In fact, Jou pointed out that PSPC1 exists in almost every human, but in a normal person, the presence is very low. It is only when cancer arises that PSPC1 activates and promotes cancer cell proliferation.

The results of the study showing both the function of PSPC1 and the expression of TGF-β1 in cancer metastasis were breakthroughs in the scientific community and were published in the scientific journal Nature Cell Biology in April.

Jou stressed the though the team has found an inhibitor of PSPC1, which will lead to the development of cancer drugs in the future, it make take 10 to 20 years before it can be applied to cancer treatments for the general public.

How to cheer yourself up on Blue Monday

By Jennifer George

16 Jan 2017

Today is officially the most depressing day of the year. It's a fact. Think trudging through torrential rain during the Tube strike was horrific? Well, today's going to top that, apparently. There's even a mathematical equation (Cx R x ZZ over Tt + D… you get the point) to prove it.

Of course, it's all pseudoscience. Marketing rubbish. BUT they have a point. Mid-January is pretty glum: the results of your frantic detox are yet to show (hang on in there!). Dry January has turned your friends into bores. And everyone except you seems to be enjoying a ski trip at a far-flung destination while you are spreadsheeting at your desk.

Enter Diptyque and their Rosa Mundi candle. It's packaged in the jolliest floral box - surely just looking at it provides instant joy. No? Well, lighting it will: all heady rose, lychee, honey and cedar. Not too sweet, not too musky. Very cheerful.

If that hasn't brightened your mood, the new collection also includes drawer liners, linen scent and soap, all wrapped in that lovely green design and enabling you to build a Rosa Mundi-scented fort in your own house.

STILL feeling down? Don't worry - it's only one day. And tomorrow is National Hot Buttered Rum Day. Equally bullshit, but much tastier.

Diptyque Rosa Mundi candle, £48

It's cold out, and that means it's barbecue season. (for me anyway)

The word barbecue can refer to a way of cooking with fire, the food cooked in this manner, or even the outdoor party where people eat all that smoky deliciousness. But where did the word originate? Fix yourself an ice-cold beverage and let's lift the lid on some very American etymology.

Arawak (or Arhuaco) is the name used to describe some indigenous peoples in South America and the Caribbean islands. Though geographically widespread, and composed of numerous tribes, the Arawak people speak related languages, which are all part of the Arawakan family. This language group, which likely originated in the area that is now Bolivia and Colombia, was the predominant language of South America and the islands when Europeans arrived in the fifteenth century. Speakers of these languages in the Caribbean referred to themselves as Taíno, meaning "relatives." The Taíno were the first Americans that Europeans encountered when Christopher Columbus arrived at Guanahani island in the Bahamas in 1492.

Here's how that relates to the backyard barbecue we know today.

Barabicu is the Taíno word for a framework that's made of sticks and elevated above the ground on posts and used for different purposes. One was sleeping since they kept people safe from creatures prowling below.

(Speaking of sleeping, the word hammock comes from the Carib Indian word hamaca — the Carib were the other main inhabitants of the Caribbean islands at the time of the European conquest.)

Barabicu frames were also used for drying or cooking meat. Because they were fairly high up, out of range of the flames so the sticks wouldn't catch fire, food would cook slowly and pick up a lot of flavor from the smoke. On the island of Hispaniola, today divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the local linguistic variant of barabicu was barbakoa.

Because smoky, slow-cooked meat is delicious, this culinary technique caught on among the invaders, giving its name to the meat as well as the method. Barbacoa entered Spain and spread throughout Europe from there: to Portuguese, then French, and into English by 1648. The first recorded use in English of barbecue describing not just the cooking method but also people gathering outdoors to enjoy the feast is from 1733.

In Mexico and parts of the U.S., barbacoa is still used to describe a different kind of traditional cooking, where goat, lamb, or beef is cooked for hours in a pit dug in the ground. And barbecue means different things in different regions within the U.S.; in the Carolinas, it's most often pork, while in Texas beef brisket is the king of meats. Other cities and states have their own specialties, and particular sauces and fans of each style will swear that theirs is the best or even the only true form of barbecue.

Without taking sides in whose recipe wins the taste test, we will say that any barbecue worthy of that name involves indirect heat, as in a smoker, for a prolonged period. If your meat is right over the flames then you're grilling, not barbecuing.

A final note: there are a number of theories regarding the origin of BBQ, from a rancher's brand to a nineteenth-century pool hall advertisement, but most experts agree that it's just an abbreviation, albeit an unusual one where the first letter of each syllable is included.

Out-of-Control Local Government Spending

ITR President Chris Ingstad was interviewed on multiple radio stations this week, 99.3 FM The Truth in Des Moines and KLMJ/KQCR in Hampton.

When asked about property taxes, Ingstad said, "Since 2000, local government spending is up over 100 percent. GDP in Iowa over that same time is up about 40 percent; inflation is about 50 percent. If you measure what the state itself spends, it is about 60 percent. Local government is outpacing it all."

Well said!

A video of the entire interview on The Truth has been posted on the ITR Facebook page.

Guest column: Sessions affair just democratic obstructionism

Star Parker
Star Parker

Good citizens across the nation surely are wondering why — when critical business regarding America's future needs tending to — the game preoccupying Washington, D.C., these days is "liar, liar, pants on fire."

If there is some question about the propriety of conversations Attorney General Jeff Sessions had with the Russian ambassador when he was a U.S. senator, let those responsible for investigating this — the intelligence committees in the House and Senate — do their job.

As Senator Marco Rubio, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee stated, "That is our job, to gather facts."

I trust Rubio when he says, "I'm not interested in being part of a witch hunt, but I also will not be part of a cover-up."

Those who don't trust our elected officials or our constitutionally sanctioned institutions are interested in dragging out and politicizing issues for a personal agenda, not in moving forward and efficiently getting done the nation's business.

If citizens don't like the job the intelligence committees do, we have elections every two years. This is the way our country works.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks during a news conference March 2, 2017 at the Justice Department in Washington.

First, let's recall that last November, Donald J. Trump won the presidency and Republicans retained control of both the Senate and the House.

At the same time, Republicans increased their governorships from 31 to 33 states and they now control both houses of legislatures in 32 states. Democrats control both houses in only five states.

The Democratic Party has been thoroughly defeated. Now it's time to return the nation, as stated by Trump, "back to the people." And those on the left are panicking.

Cut regulations and taxes? Get intrusive government out of the way and let our economy grow? Let businesses operate freely? Let individuals decide what kind of health care they need and give them the freedom to buy it? Let parents decide what kind of education is best for their children? Bring a new culture of self-reliance to troubled inner cities and get them off welfare state dependency, which has created an endless cycle of poverty? Beef up the defense budget so that America again stands strong and confident on the international stage?

Now that the American people have chosen this agenda, the only immediate option for those on the left in panic as they watch their power slip away, is to throw sand in the gears.

One way to slow things down is with personal attacks.

This is what is happening with Sessions.

Meeting with foreign ambassadors is routine business for U.S. senators. It is worthy of a "Saturday Night Live" skit to think that Sessions held a clandestine meeting to discuss campaign secrets with the Russian ambassador in the light of day in his U.S. Senate office, where one of the meetings took place.

The left is doing what it does best. Throwing mud, politicizing everything and building obstacles against what they fear the most — letting the American people get free of the whims of politicians.

The great interest in Russia these days is just another indicator of the deterioration of America's unique leadership in the world. This leadership is what must be restored.

A new survey of public attitudes by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reports, "Seven in ten Americans think the United States is losing its national identity ... and less than half express much pride in how democracy is working."

That's not surprising in this time of moral relativism and degradation of law.

Let the congressional intelligence committees do their work, and let's move forward with the nation's vital business.

Instant Tea Powders

From white to green to black, caffeinated teas are produced from the leaves of a single plant, Camelia sinensis. The difference between the teas comes only from how they are produced. Oxidizing the leaves after picking them turns them darker, and depending on the region, different styles of drying and finishing the leaves creates different flavors and experiences. At A. Holliday & Co, we take a further step – inspired by traditional Japanese teas like matcha, we grind our leaves into fine powders and spray dry them, creating incredible instant teas that can be made into hot beverages, RTD iced teas or used as culinary ingredients to add the unique flavors of tea to fine foods.

As the leading importer and supplier of tea in North America, A. Holliday & Co has access to unparalleled and unusual teas from all corners of the world.

USA Softball News Top 5 Foods to Boost...

Top 5 Foods to Boost Your Athlete's Mood

Oct. 01, 2020, 9:29 a.m. (ET)

If your young athletes seem moody, there are hundreds of potential causes, from stress at school to pre-game nerves to a fight with a friend. One way to help boost your athlete’s mood naturally—no supplements required—is through diet. Of course, not every problem can be solved with a snack, and these foods can’t take the place of medical or psychological help in certain cases, but a dietary check-in might make a major difference for standard moodiness.

Consider adding these food groups to your athlete’s diet for a simple mood boost.

Many people know that Omega-3 fatty acids are critical to brain health and development, but it may be surprising to know that they can also potentially help lower levels of depression. In one study, consuming fatty fish like salmon—one of the top sources for Omega-3s—was shown to reduce symptoms of depression. Omega-3s can also be found in nuts, including walnuts, flaxseed and chia, so sneaking a teaspoon of chia or flax into a smoothie or salad dressing might be best for picky eaters. And don’t skip the yolks when scrambling eggs: The fat found in the yolk of free-range eggs is high in Omega-3s and other mood-boosting micronutrients.

Fermented foods

In recent years, research has shown a direct link between a happy gut and a happy brain. To build a healthy gut microbiome—including the bacteria that help break down food and keep your body running the way it’s supposed to—it’s important to keep a high level of good bacteria in the gut. Probiotics have become more popular in the last few years, but you can save money and add serious flavor to any meal by adding fermented foods that are naturally packed with good gut bacteria. Add a scoop of kimchi or sauerkraut at dinner, mix kefir or yogurt into a smoothie, or swap a sparkling water for kombucha to add probiotic-rich foods to your athlete’s diet.

Tryptophan-containing foods

The micronutrient tryptophan is key to production of serotonin, a feel-good hormone in the brain. It can be found in egg yolks, as well as most nuts, including almonds, cashews, and walnuts. It’s also in sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds. Certain nuts, such as almonds, also provide other key micronutrients for optimal brain function, like selenium.

High-fiber foods

Like probiotics, fiber-rich foods help keep the gut in balance by feeding those good bacteria and helping ‘clean out’ the digestive tract. Short-chain fatty acids are created in the gut by good bacteria when they’re being fed enough fiber, and one study showed that those short-chain fatty acids might help decrease stress and anxiety. You don’t need a supplement to add fiber, just pack your athlete’s diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

When your athlete is racing for the bus or sprinting to an early practice, breakfast is often an afterthought. The meal gets skipped entirely or become ultra-processed and high in sugar. And while chowing down on ultra-processed snacks will cause an immediate spike in blood sugar that may temporarily boost your athlete’s mood, the crash that will come afterwards will send them right back to being grumpy.

Meanwhile, eating a good-quality breakfast has been shown to improve quality of life and decrease rates of stress and depression in adolescents. Focus on providing a breakfast that’s rich in protein and complex carbohydrates: Whether your athlete slurps a smoothie on the go or sits down to an egg-and-veggie scramble, their day will be smoother as a result.

Not all of your athlete’s emotional turbulence can be solved by good nutrition, but there are some foods that may help boost their mood while also keeping them sport-ready.

Google Earth Pro Names and Map Fixes

The latest update for Google Earth Pro made some of its users to experience some issues with the application, since it could not function very well ever since downloading the update. Therefore, Google Earth Pro has not worked properly for some users and that can lead to a certain level of frustration in the future. However, there are solutions to each problem they encountered and they can be found on technology forums.

The Absence of Names

One of the issues that appeared was the name of places that did not show up for some users after downloading and installing the latest version for Google Earth Pro. The solution to this issue can be attained by confirming that boxes next to Borders and Labels and Places are both checked. In this way, it will make the place markers show the labels on the map as the users hover over them with the mouse cursor.

The Absence of the Map

Another issue that needs addressing regards Google Earth Maps that loads everything except the map. This also includes a black screen with colored spots, white dots, some red boxes and yellow borders. This problem can be solved by updating the graphic drivers. Other alternative is to set it from within the application itself; it can be done by updating the graphics driver’s software and then switching from Google Earth Pro to DirectX mode.

A problem that is similar to Google Earth Pro is that a user was able to install the application for free on their Mac, but it kept showing a black screen. One thing to keep in mind when using this application is to check if it is available in the country you live in, because not all countries are able to download and install Google Earth Pro.

However, if the user experiences trouble as they download or install this application, it is recommended that they uninstall and install the app, this alternative being the quickest solution if Google Earth Pro stops working properly.

How to Build Power Bank Using Old Laptop Battery

If you thought your laptop battery was dead enough to be thrown away, think twice. With the following steps, you can Build Power Bank Using Old Laptop Battery. I will explain in the lesser words possible but trust me you will get the process like you knew it before. Okay, let’s get started.

  1. The tools

For this exercise, you need an old laptop battery offcoz, a power bank case, screwdriver, nose pliers, wire cutter, dremel, goggles and gloves. Some of these requirements are offcoz bogus but I will put them there for formality purposes. Who uses gloves to make a 5v power bank. As a safety precaution, do use yours.

2. Battery opening

Find a spot on the seams that you can pry open with a screwdriver or dremel. Be careful not to damage the cells by doing the prying slowly. Careful too not to prick your hand too. (use gloves)

3. Cell removal

You will see cells arranged side by side. Remove the cells from the packaging. You will find some tape or other material that would have been used for the binding. Do it slowly to avoid any risks.

4. Charging circuit separation

With the wire cutter, cut off the wires that connect the charging circuit and the cells. Be careful with the polarity as you may short-circuit the cells.

5. Cell separation

There are often 6 or more or less cells in the battery pack. They are connected in series and parallel. Separate them to get them separate from one another. Thus have them singly.

6. Tab removal

Use the nose pliers to twist the tabs off the cells. You then use the dremel to smoothen the points that have been welded.

7. Cell testing and selection

Only keep cells that are more than 2.5V, stay cool when charged, are at least 4.0V when charged and do not fall below 0.1V after three days of no use.

8. Making your power bank

The cells have the terminals indicated and so is the power bank casing. The charging board of the power bank should be connected with the positive terminal of the battery cells. Any mistakes might get power bank fried. Build Power Bank Using Old Laptop Battery

9. Power bank checking

Charge the power bank then test its output voltage. You should get a voltage around 5V for the best results. Do not test it directly on your android phone, perhaps I should have mentioned that you needed a voltmeter. Well, I just did.

Technology is so much fun, I promised to be brief and still get you to be reproductive. Now you know how to Build Power Bank Using Old Laptop Battery and I believe you can teach someone too. If you got any problems doing what I just did, literally speaking, then do leave me a comment below. More questions and discussions are welcomed in OUR FORUM.

Canon could replace its excellent Dual Pixel Autofocus with Quad Pixel AF

Image: TechRadar

Canon introduced its Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus (AF) technology back in 2013 with the launch of the EOS 70D. It performs phase-detect autofocus from the main imaging sensor by splitting each pixel into two light-sensitive photodiodes, with each half picking up light independently through separate microlenses.

Since then, this system has provided fast and accurate autofocus in Canon’s cameras and is, after all these years, still considered to be one of the most reliable AF technologies for both stills and video.

So imagine the possibilities if those pixels could be divided into four photodiodes. Hopefully we won’t have to wonder for too long, as a patent application, first discovered by Canon News, suggests the camera manufacturer could be working on a Quad Pixel AF system.

Image: Canon (via Canon News)

Halved, then quartered

The patent, filed in Japan, describes a 20.7MP sensor that contains a staggering 83 million focus detention points. Each pixel seems to be 4 micrometers, making the sensor approximately 22mm wide (the size of an APS-C sensor). According to Canon News, the decreased pixel density is what would make Quad Pixel AF possible, requiring Canon to drop from a 24MP Dual Pixel CMOS sensor to a 20MP Quad Pixel option.

Splitting each pixel into four pieces would solve an issue most Canon cameras have when focusing. “If you ever tried to use an EOS R or an EOS M in landscape orientation to focus on a horizontal line, you’ll quickly realize that the phase detect sensors just go in one direction, and have little sensitivity in the other 90 degrees offset direction,” Canon News explains.

Quad Pixel AF would solve this problem, but the size of the sensor suggests Canon will be restricted to using the new AF system in APS-C cameras. Whether it can be developed for high resolution full-frame systems remains to be seen.

Kinect games: 10 titles we want to see

Microsoft Kinect
Microsoft Kinect needs more than cutesy sports games

So Microsoft has announced that Natal is now called Kinect, and it's hoping to get us salivating by promises of a Kinect Star Wars game, a racing game, some cutesy-looking sports games that sound vaguely Nintendo Wii-ish and a few others.

But if Kinect is to truly differentiate itself from the Wii, developers need to come up with games that offer more than the standard wiggling, pointing and waving. In short, developers need to come up with titles that Xbox owners want.

We're worried that the game devs haven't realised this so we've come up with our own list of Best Kinect games ever for real gamers. [trademark possibly pending]

Top 10 Kinect games we want to see.

1. Time Crisis Kinect Edition
Currently a Sony exclusive, so we'd first have to steal the licence for Microsoft. But imagine Time Crisis where you could use the living room sofa as cover. And in two-player games, you could play against your mate in another town, also hiding behind their sofa.

2. Dr Who
A free add-on for Time Crisis Kinect Edition, where you and your mates get judged on who can hide behind the sofa the best.

3. DJ Hero 3
In between mixes, you have to encourage the crowd to dance like you.

4. Kinect Kitteh Football
Instead of childish Wii Miis, Xbox owners want something visceral. So Kinect needs a football game where the ball is replaced with a kitten and the goalposts are on fire. We're pitching this one direct to Rockstar.

5. Virtual Lumberjack
For people who like to leap from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. Virtual Lumberjack 2 will feature zombies.

6. Ninja Massacre
As a Ninja you must flip out and kill as many people as possible.

7. Kinect Phwoar!
So we get more YouTube videos like this.

8. Yoga Instructor
With a hidden game mode called Extreme Contortionist.

9. Still
A multiplayer game over Xbox Live where you and your friends have to remain motionless for as long as possible - no smiling, talking or movements allowed at all. Electric shock attachments are an optional accessory. Free add-on Pet Still lets you bring your cats, dogs and goldfish into the game.

10. Freefall Parachuting
Players lie on the floor with arms and legs outstretched. That's about it for this game.

Talking CCTV gives Big Brother a voice

Britain is believed to have 20 per cent of the world's CCTV cameras already

Britain is already one of the most watched nations on earth and now "talking" CCTV cameras are to be installed in 20 areas across the country.

Britain is believed to have 20 per cent of the world's CCTV cameras already

The loudspeakers will allow CCTV operators to bark orders at people committing anti-social behaviour.

They are already used in Middlesbrough, where council workers in a control centre can monitor pictures from 12 cameras in town and communicate directly with people on the street.

Supporters of the scheme there say it has prevented fights and criminal damage, and cut litter levels.

John Reid, the Home Secretary, has set aside nearly £500,000 to fund the expansion of the scheme, which opponents have criticised as "Big Brother gone mad".

Mr Reid said: "The new funding for talking CCTV is aimed at the small minority who think it is acceptable to litter our streets, vandalise our communities and damage our properties. We all pay council tax so in the end we all pay when our communities are disrespected - both in our pockets as well as in our daily lives."

Competitions are being held at schools in many of the areas for children to become the "voice" of CCTV cameras, Mr Reid said.

"Local communities are rightly fed up with littering and anti-social behaviour - they want to remind people about what is, and is not, respectful behaviour," he said.

"By funding and supporting these local schemes, the Government is encouraging children to send this clear message to grown ups: act anti-socially and you will face the shame of being publicly embarrassed."

According to recent studies, Britain has 4.2million CCTV cameras - one for every 14 people in the country - which amounts to 20 per cent of the global camera total.

It has been calculated that each person is caught on camera an average of 300 times daily.

This is despite a Home Office report published four years ago which concluded that better street lighting was seven times more effective than CCTV at cutting crime. The study suggested CCTV cut crime by 4 per cent overall and just 2 per cent in urban areas, while improved lighting in public spaces reduced crime by 30 per cent.

The exception was car parks, where CCTV led to a significant 41 per cent fall in crime, the report added.

Richard Thomas, the Information Commissioner, gave a stark warning last year that Britain is turning into a Big Brother society where the lives of millions of inhabitants are tracked from cradle to grave.

A study commissioned by his office concluded that within 10 years, surveillance will be all-pervasive, spurred on by Government claims that it is needed to fight terrorism. The report appeared to reinforce Mr Thomas' claim two years earlier that "we are sleepwalking into a surveillance society''.

The 20 areas which have received grants for Talking CCTV proposals are: Southwark; Barking and Dagenham; Reading; Harlow; Norwich; Ipswich; Plymouth; Gloucester; Derby; Northampton; Mansfield; Nottingham; Coventry; Sandwell; Wirral; Blackpool; Salford; Middlesbrough; South Tyneside; and Darlington.

Failings at Baby P council 'allowed second toddler to suffer repeated abuse'

A toddler was allowed to suffer repeated abuse at the hands of his heroin addict stepfather because of serious failings by the council involved in the Baby P and Victoria Climbie tragedies, a highly critical report found today.

Haringey Council in north London Credit: Photo: PA

The boy was twice taken to hospital with suspicious injuries but on both occasions was returned to his family to endure more beatings.

At one stage he had more than 50 bruises on his body, and he told a doctor of being hit by his stepfather with a belt and a stick.

The case raised a “textbook” litany of concerns about weaknesses in child protection in Haringey in north London and had worrying echoes of the case of 17-month-old Peter Connelly, also known as Baby P, a serious case review concluded.

Concerns that the toddler might be suffering abuse were first raised 18 months after public furore erupted about Peter’s brutal death at the hands of his family in the same area.

The report said: “It is worrying to find compelling evidence of individual and systemic failures within and between services so soon after that high-profile case.

“One might expect, if anything, that agencies would be over-sensitive to the possibility of abuse going undetected.”

The toddler, referred to as Child T, first came to the authorities’ attention when he was admitted to the accident and emergency department of North Middlesex Hospital in north London in June 2010.

He had bruising around the eyes, forehead and nose and swelling which was said to have become worse during the day. His Polish stepfather told doctors that the little boy often ran around the house and “hit himself on the wall".

A paediatrician was so worried that he ordered the case to be flagged up to children’s social services, but the referral fax was mistakenly sent to Enfield instead of Haringey.

In February 2011 police were called to the family home after Child T’s mother alleged that the stepfather had been violent to her and the little boy.

The toddler was examined and found to have more than 50 bruises of varying ages and sizes, many of them judged by a doctor to be caused by physical abuse.

However, it was not until June 2011 that the little boy, then aged four, and his siblings were taken into care.

The stepfather was jailed for four years in October 2011 for assaulting a child and is due to be deported after serving his sentence. Child T’s mother is believed to have returned to Poland.

Claire Kober, Haringey Council’s leader, said: "We fully accept the findings of this serious case review and apologise unreservedly for the failings set out in the report. Together with partner agencies, we could and should have intervened more swiftly.

"This case occurred during a period of rebuilding in our children's service. We have been working hard over the past three years to make significant improvements, which have been recognised by Ofsted.

"We are pleased that we were able to secure positive outcomes for the child in this case, and that he is now thriving in a safe family environment."
