Considering the organisational need and context that need addressing, the unit focuses on designing learning and delivery. It is designed to give learners the information to design and implement strategic and innovative solutions to foster organisational growth and performance. This unit will assist the learner in understanding how to perform external analysis and develop reports that will influence and persuade stakeholders. It examines modern and traditional learning design methods and models, the variety of delivery methods, and the implications of the learning transfer throughout the organisation. It emphasizes the significance of learning interventions data analysis in developing meaningful and productive learning design. What you will learn This unit will assist the learner in examining how various contexts and the external environment influence organisational learning approaches. The learner will also look at the development of solid learning methods and policies and critically examine organisational learning approaches in both internal and external environments. Hence, it will equip the learner with corporate leadership abilities and enable them to learn how to lead and manage people. Furthermore, the learner will assess the strategies for obtaining learning data and its connection to learning requirements. The learner will also be able to compare and contrast the differences between a development gap and a learning gap. In this unit, the significance of learning design and learning delivery will be discussed, in addition to the needs for varied approaches. Finally, the learner will learn the relevance of impact measurement and how learning professionals may assist organisations to become more aware of impact culture. This unit is suitable for persons who This unit is essential for the following groups of people who: - Have completed the CIPD Foundation Diploma in Human Resource Practice and want to pursue a career in human resource management. - Have worked in the field for a while but don’t have any professional human resource qualifications. - Are senior people practitioners looking to expand and deepen your ability, knowledge, and abilities to have a more significant effect on strategy, policy, and people - They want to further their careers in human resources (HR) and learning and development (L&D) management by gaining a professional qualification. - A desire to gain more autonomy, influence, and judgment to strategically lead and drive organizations and employees. Upon completing this unit, learners should be able to fulfil the following four primary learning outcomes. These outcomes are further classified into a variety of sub-categories. The learning outcomes will enable them to: - Understand how the external environment and the internal organisational context influence learning. - Comprehend the significance of a learning needs assessment in the design process. - Acknowledge the importance of impact measurement in the learning process. - Understand the significance of contextualized learning event design and delivery. What are the entry requirements? Institutions have statutory requirements for their candidates that CIPD does not necessarily regulate. These criteria differ by institution, while others are the same for all students enrolling in the unit. Institutions have established these diagnostic tools to check whether candidates have the required literacy and numeracy skills to complete Designing Learning to Improve Performance (7LD03). To enroll in a course, most institutions expect candidates to have a working understanding of the English language. Some institutions, for example, demand that candidates have a C/4 or higher in English at the GCSE level. Other colleges require applicants who speak English as a second language to have a 6.5 IELTS/ESOL Level 2 equivalent. However, the CIPD offers a policy for non-native English speakers that gives guidelines on suitable English language entry requirements. Most institutions expect applicants to have a bachelor’s degree, CIPD level 5 certifications, and prior human resources experience. In extreme situations, significant strategic people practice experience may be substituted for a degree; however, this is subject to evaluation. Previous learning policies, which allow learners to demonstrate that they already have the information, understanding, or abilities needed to complete the assessment requirements for a unit and do not need to gain them through a course of study, are also recognized by CIPD. The CIPD, for example, has predefined transfer chances to this unit as scheduled exemptions for learners who have completed units from a previous CIPD certification. Learners who have completed units from non-CIPD qualifications that they believe will map to units in this qualification may also submit an application form, together with precise mapping and evidence of attainment, to the CIPD for verification. Finally, in order to enroll in a course, several institutions require candidates to be at least 18 years old. However, the CIPD advises that candidates pursuing this unit have a minimum age of 21.

Ai Weiwei, CIRCA 2020 1-31 October, CIRCA 2020 The Cultural Institute of Radical Contemporary Arts (CIRCA) presents CIRCA 2020, a new work by Ai Weiwei, which will break a new record on 31 October at 20:20 for the longest ever single piece of content to be shown on Piccadilly Lights in Piccadilly Circus, Europe’s largest screen. Pausing the adverts for just over one hour, the film combines 30 parts from his month-long residency on Piccadilly Lights commissioned by CIRCA, an innovative new digital arts platform which commissions some of the the world’s leading artists to create new work in response to the world, circa 2020. Ai Weiwei said: CIRCA 2020 at Piccadilly Circus in London is an opportunity for me to produce a public, visual presentation related to my past. The clips form a 60-minute long program, an episodic, visual narrative consisting of images, videos, sound, and poetry relating to my art and social and political activism. Ai Weiwei (born 1957) is a Chinese contemporary artist, documentarian, and activist. Ai grew up in the far northwest of China, where he lived under harsh conditions due to his father’s exile. As an activist, he has been openly critical of the Chinese Government’s stance on democracy and human rights. He investigated government corruption and cover-ups, in particular the Sichuan schools corruption scandal following the collapse of “tofu-dreg schools” in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. In 2011, Ai Weiwei was arrested at Beijing Capital International Airport on 3 April, for “economic crimes”. He was detained for 81 days without charge. Ai Weiwei emerged as a vital instigator in Chinese cultural development, an architect of Chinese modernism, and one of the nation’s most vocal political commentators. Ai Weiwei encapsulates political conviction and his personal poetry in his many sculptures, photographs, and public works. In doing this, he makes use of Chinese art forms to display Chinese political and social issues.
FOLEY – The Foley Veterans Memorial will be getting a new flagpole as part of plans to improve one of the city’s tributes to those who have served their country. The Foley City Council approved the purchase of a new 40-foot flagpole at the site at Max Griffin Park. The pole now at the site is 20 feet high. The new pole, installation and lighting is expected to cost about $18,000. The city also plans to move two cannons now in front of the former National Guard armory building to the park. The two 76-millimeter anti-tank guns will be placed next to the monument on South Alston Street. Foley acquired the former armory building, located behind City Hall, in an exchange of property with the Alabama National Guard. The city donated property for a new armory now open east of the Foley Beach Express and received the building that had served as the local National Guard facility since 1969. Mayor Ralph Hellmich said the new pole and artillery pieces will be a fitting tribute to local veterans. “We wanted to upgrade the Veterans Park,” Hellmich said. “We hope that when we add the Army guns in front of it along with the new flagpole and the LED lighting, which currently we don’t have, it’s going to be a lot more impressive as a veterans memorial and fit how we support our military.” The council voted to declare the 20-foot pole now at the Veterans Memorial surplus and donate it to the Foley Masonic Lodge. City officials had studied a plan to move several existing flagpoles to new sites. Under the plan, an 80-foot pole on South McKenzie Street near the intersection of Laurel Avenue would have been moved to Riviera Utilities. The pole now at Riviera would have been moved to Veterans Memorial. That pole has been replaced by a taller, 90-foot pole on the east side of the highway. The 80-foot pole, however, could not be removed intact. One estimate to remove the pole was $5,800. Brenda Shambo, city administrative assistant, said Riviera Utilities crews could cut the pole at no cost and move it to the city public works yard. City officials said the internal pulley system that raises and lowers a flag is also broken, which could require installing an external system if the pole is to be used again. Foley is also working on improvements near another memorial to veterans at Heritage Park. The city is adding new plaques near the World War II Memorial near the intersection of North McKenzie Street and East Violet Avenue.

Some Clark Lake residents woke up Saturday morning to whooshing noise. Turns out it was a hot air balloon that did a survey of the west end of the lake. First, the ballon touched the water near the head-of-the-lake, then rose again, heading southeast. With little wind, it took a while for the balloon to travel across the lake to the southeast shore. Once it arrived on the southeast shore over Pierce Bay, it rose above the trees just like in the 5th Dimension song “Up Up and Away.” The surprise visit gave iPhone cameras a workout–and provided a good topic for Clark Lakers over their morning coffee.

--- Patrick Finnegan <pat(a)purdueriots.com> wrote: I seem to remember someone saying that the DECservers are basically a Q-Bus PDP-11 system. Is this correct, or am I thinking of something As Eric Dittman already pointed out, you are correct in the case of the DECserver 500 and 550. There is a (labelled) KDJ11 board on a Qbus. I have one (the CPU board, not the DECserver). Also, does anyone know what they're based off of and if it's possible to make them boot a 'conventional' os by changing their bootroms? My board was so modified (by someone else). I have not had a chance to play with it yet - it has a BA213-style DEC handle and I have no compatible enclosures. My choices are to use a Qbus extender (for testing, obviously) or to drill off the handle and replace it with an older one or to get a newer enclosure. I think I will eventually get a BA213 chassis (seeing as how one went for $20 at Dayton with the KA655 board, memory, disk controller and two DELQAs still installed!) but temporarily, I might remove the handle. One minor problem with that is what to do with the diagnostic LED and console MMJ - in a BA-213, it fits nicely on the bracket (unlike a console I/O panel for, say, a MicroVAX I or II in a BA23) I was thinking of making an extender cable for a BA23, but hadn't gotten around to punching holes in a metal plate to mount it. AFAIK, there will be no perceptible difference between a KDJ11 board from a DECserver 5xx and a _real_ MicroPDP-11/53 cpu board - they both have some locally mounted RAM, same boot ROMs, etc. Your system will probably not see any difference - it's the same card once you have the same firmware in it.

Thai massage – another popular type of massage because of the relaxation those feels afterward. Like shiatsu, Thai massage involves aligning the energies within the body by applying gentle pressure on specific area or point. This massage also involves stretching and retention.

The CovrPrice raw sales data is showing a couple of transactions for NM for like $44.60 and $39.99, and then a ton of sales for $3.99. But CovrPrice has set the value of the facsimile at like $45. But really, this is just a facsimile. I’m guessing that those are real sales for the facsimile but they were sold to really dumb people who thought it was the original or something. But with 200+ sales at $3.99, should those two higher sales even matter? Glenn - Thanks for the call out on this. I went in to verify the $44.60 sale but it has since disappeared so we have removed that sale. The other sale looks like it was super high grade and is more likely a solid 9.8 raw candidate. As such it is now in the NM+ raw bucket. The general NM bucket is now more around $2.70 where you’d expect with a lot of the recent sales. You can’t currently see this distinction, but the vast majority of the sales in that NM bucket are out of MCS. They tend to sell good volume on this book and have the biggest impact on the price - especially since those 2 most recent sales eBay sales have been addressed. We have a rework in play for later this year where you’ll be able to see the source of the sale and some more information about it if our subject matter experts find out something out of the norm on a sale - but for now I’m happy to research anything you spot that looks out of place. Thanks again for writing in on this one. You’re welcome. I’d suggest that all facsimiles need some special attention, due to issues around consumer confusion. We have algorithms that look for key terms and system checks that look for certain price differences - but sometimes it can be hard to discern legit high grade raw copies that go for more like slabbed prices and actual outlier sales that aren’t legit.

Good coaches ask great questions The idea for this article comes from the book, “Good Leaders Ask Great Questions” by John Maxwell. It’s a wonderful book and I would strongly advise you to both read and take notes from it. It’s full of information that I feel is extremely beneficial for all coaches in helping them formulate ideas on how to improve as a coach. At this time of the year, I know many coaches are telling their players that the offseason is when you improve. Working hard in the weight room, on ball handling skills, taking thousands of shots and becoming a better athlete. This is advice given by coaches everywhere. The offseason also is the time for you to become a better coach. This is a time for self-evaluation and reflection on the accomplishments and failures of the previous season. Maybe you examine ways to run more efficient practices, or better utilize your staff. Or you look at how you approach pregame, halftime and timeouts. The evaluation process should take place with a series of questions — the better the questions, the better the answers. I have formulated some questions that can help all coaches. The most important thing for everyone is to be honest with their answers. The implication of your responses will be the genesis of your road to improving as a coach. Here are several key areas that coaches are responsible for throughout the season. With each, I have provided some of the most important questions that I would ask of myself and our program. - How organized are my practices? - How much time is spent on skill development? - How well do I utilize my staff? - Do we concentrate enough on time/score situations? - Are practices competitive enough? - Do we utilize all players during practices? - How much time do I spend organizing my practices? - Do I end practices on a positive note? - Do I utilize the clock at practices? - Do I add variety into my practices? - How well do we scout opponents? - Do we create quality game plans? - Is the game plan effectively communicated to players? - What do we want to accomplish during pregame talks? - Do we need to improve our pregame preparation? - How well do we organize our timeouts? - How is our bench organization? - How well do we organize our halftime procedures and adjustments? - Does a coach talk to a player as they are taken out of a game? - Do we track possessions and other key stats? - Do we focus enough on the opponent’s strategy? - Do coaches watch for substitutions? - How efficient are the walk-throughs? - Does the bench and players know how many timeouts we have? - Can we execute a play without calling a timeout? - Do players feel challenged? - Do players feel they are cared for? - Do you administer an offseason program for players? - Do players have the ability to use the gym for workouts? - Do players feel that they are part of a special program? - Do the players have responsibilities? - Are players asked to be great student-athletes? - Are players asked to be better people? - Do I help players to reach the next level? - Am I providing players a great experience? - Do I stay in contact with players after graduation? - Am I the type of coach I would want my kids to play for? - Is our program properly marketed to the school/community? - Does our program have a social media presence? - Does our program get scores and stats into newspapers? - Are we marketing the program to feeder schools? - How would I describe our program to an outsider? These topics and questions are only suggestions of what coaches should consider when trying to make improvements within their programs. Regardless of your approach and what you ask, it’s paramount that coaches sit down and self-evaluate. The quality of your questions will bring about the information needed to bring your program to the next level.

Japan-based financial services firm SBI Group has announced its plans to establish several new businesses based on digital currency. The group is simultaneously developing eight businesses including hedge fund management, mining, and a derivatives market. Group president and chief executive officer (CEO) Yoshitaka Kitao explained their plans at the company’s earnings results briefing session in late October 2017. He detailed how the firm is “pursuing synergies between [its] current financial ecosystem and [its] new financial ecosystem based on cryptocurrency.” Brief details of the company’s plans Based on the group’s presentation, it plans to create “a dominant cryptocurrency exchange platform, amid other platforms, based on the ‘customer-centric principle.’ The company also intends to establish a virtual currency exchange platform in Hong Kong. Part of the presentation reads: “Currently waiting for the appropriate timing to start the [exchange] service, where the key decision factors are the progress of SBI Crypto’s mining, along with the division situation of [the upcoming] hard fork.” In mining, SBI Group plans to “acquire digital currency share through mining, in a bid to stabilize the market.” The company also intends to contribute to “market stabilization by providing new trading opportunities in cryptocurrency for institutional investors” through the creation of a crypto derivatives market and management of crypto hedge funds. The presentation reads: “In order to stabilize the volatility in virtual currencies, the participation of institutional investors who make long-term investments are expected.” Moreover, the company also plans to manage a virtual currency portal site that will disseminate crypto-related and initial coin offering (ICO) rating information. In early October, it was reported that Morningstar Japan is launching the first ICO rating business in the country. The majority shareholder of Morningstar Japan is SBI Group, which owns 49.54 percent of the firm’s shares.
Outage in Federal Reserve’s Payment System On November 3, a glitch in one of the Federal Reserve’s payment systems caused disruptions in customer deposits for some of the largest banks in the United States. The incident was attributed to a “processing issue” in the Automated Clearing House (ACH), a widely used payment processing network utilized by banks and employers for depositing wages into employee bank accounts. Operated by the Federal Reserve The ACH network is jointly operated by the Federal Reserve Banks and the Electronic Payment Network, making it a crucial component of the U.S. financial infrastructure. Assurances of Security and Service Restoration Banks have emphasized that customer accounts remain secure, and the Federal Reserve has confirmed that all services were fully restored by 4:44 pm UTC. However, some customers are still reporting difficulties, with some unable to receive their paychecks. Georgiaree Godrey, one such affected individual, expressed her frustration as the delay in payment hindered her ability to pay rent. Financial Strain on Americans A CNBC survey from September revealed that 61% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, marking an increase from 58% in March. This highlights the financial strain many individuals face, making timely access to funds crucial. Timeline of Outage Reports Reports of outages began around 11:00 am UTC on November 3. Bank of America experienced a peak of 313 reports within a 15-minute interval at 4:00 pm UTC, according to Downdetector. Similarly, Chase and Wells Fargo faced similar peaks of 279 and 137 reports, respectively, during the same timeframe. Image Source: cointelegraph.com FedNow Offers an Alternative The Federal Reserve introduced FedNow in July, providing banks and money transmitter services with the capability to conduct instant payments without relying on the ACH network. This innovation aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of payment processing.

Extravagantly audio-visual platformer now available to download on Steam Last time I talked about Octahedron: Transfixed Edition, I mentioned how its addictive qualities had caused some... professional inconvenience. Things have gotten worse. Now the neon-soaked world of Octahedron has started to seep into my dreams. When I close my eyes, all I see are flashing flowers and pulsating platforms - all accompanied by a driving chiptune beat. Nintendo Switch owners will know what I’m talking about - Octahedron: Transfixed Edition launched on the platform last month to critical acclaim - but now it’s time for PC players to join the party. Because Octahedron: Transfixed Edition is now available on Steam. At its core, Octahedron is a platformer that tasks you with ascending vertical levels, while dodging enemies and obstacles. It features tight controls and level design that challenges the brain as much as the fingers. But that’s only part of the story, because what makes Octahedron such a sleep-invader is its mesmerizing audio-visual presentation. Every facet of the game is drenched in neon that glows and changes colour based on your actions, and the beat of the music. Oh, and what sweet music it is - the soundtrack features superb tracks from artists like Monomirror, Chipzel, André Sobota and Derek Howell. It’s all designed to get you into a flow zone - that blissful state of concentration where thoughts drift away and you become one with the game. Things start deceptively simple, introducing a core mechanic - the ability to create your own platforms in the air, and giving you ample space to get used to it. But soon you’ll be dealing with more complex layouts, regular new mechanics and innovative uses for the old ones. The Transfixed Edition throws in some neat new extras too, including time trial medals, loads of new challenges, and some post-game unlockables. When Octahedron clicks with you, it’s hard to break free from its clutches - and not just because of its flashy aesthetic. It’s abundantly clear is that the game’s been very carefully tuned to cater to different types of player. Finishing each level is a fairly straightforward task - there’ll be tricky moments, but if you tune into the beat and use your platforms with care, you’ll be able to clear every stage. But to 100% complete them - well, that’s a different matter entirely. Each stage is packed with things to collect and smash - and getting to all of them will challenge even the most skilled gamer. If you’re like me, you’ll fail time and time again, but… well, just one more go, right? Octahedron Transfixed Edition is available to download now on Steam and Nintendo Switch.
The holiday season is upon us. That means not only cold weather, possible school closures and presents/check from your parents. Nope, you need to return the favor now that you’re really considered an adult. First, you need to make a list. Of course, mom, dad and sister are on the list, but what about that random girl in your science class, favorite teacher or your RA? Make a list on an app that you can take with you everywhere. It’s a lot easier to keep up with that way. You can use your notes tab on your iPhone or the Google Drive app that lets you update documents from your phone and multiple computers. Now, let me take you through some easy gifts and cheap presents to give to your family and family. Everyone loves a cute new ornament. Easy one: Stop by your college’s bookstore and grab a university ornament. You can spend $50 on a little tree dangler or $5 on a small jingle bell. You can make something up too. Lets say mom loves the beach. If you find a cute little ornament with a palm tree, buy that sucker and add a note that says “I hope you imagine the warm beach every time you see this ornament. Love you, Mom.” Tears commence. Etsy is a great marketplace for handmade and vintage gifts this holiday season. I like Etsy because it seems a whole lot more personal than stopping by a Walmart and nabbing that first shirt you see on the racks. I’ve bought some cute bracelets, cool leather wallets, found some one-of-a kind type stuff for a special someone. The only thing about Etsy is the shipping rate, but you can work around that by buying multiple things from one seller. Also pro tip right here: Search your area for Etsy dealers. If that wooden frame is being made down the street, you may be able to pick it up yourself and meet someone new in your college neighborhood too. Alright, listen. I love the Dollar Tree. Everything is a dollar. You can buy 5 cute little gifts for your best girl friend and only drop 5 bucks. This is especially good for the kids in your life. Do you have a little brother obsessed with cars? Grab 7 packages of 3 hot wheels and watch that little boy’s eyes light up. You might have to think of ideas once you get into the store, but a basket with spa stuff is always appreciated for that aunt or mom needing a break. Have any other gift ideas on a tight budget? Share in the comments. (I need some new tips this year!)

our Power Automate flows still use the "old" JWT credentials. I was trying to find a way how to upgrade/migrate/transfer them to the Client ID/Client Secret authentication method. Unforatunately, I did not find any suitable documentation on this. The only documentation I was able to find includes hyperlinks to the developer area, where I can create new projects. But that's not what I need. I don't have any projects. I have a bunch of Power Automate flows, which need to be updated to use the new authentication mehtod. Means: how can I create a new Client ID/Client Secret pair baseed on the JWT creds of our paid subscription? Any hint is much appreciated. Have something to add?
Lets say hypothetically that I have 40 separate Linked Record Fields (Field 1, 2, 3 etc) that make the same connection between Table A and Table B. For each row only one of these fields will be updated. I want to therefore create a master field that summarises this data. I know this approach isn’t ideal but I am forced into this position since I need to collect data from clients via a form and I am using a category sub-category set of conditional questions to only display relevant records to a client based on their response to their earlier question. My questions are: Is this approach of multiple linked records the right one? Are there any tools out there that would simplify implementing dynamic dropdowns / category sub-category systems for forms? I had planned to use Automations to update the Master Field - is there a way I could create one Automation to check whether content exists in 40+ fields, and if so, copy that content into this Master Field? I understand that Airtable has a hard limit of 50 conditional questions on a Form, do you happen to know if this limit could be negotiated on a per user basis? While I only need 40 conditional questions today, for planning purposes I’d like to know I had the option to grow beyond this if needed. Thanks in advance for your help - if anything isn’t clear, please do let me know!

How can I call a query from the query library from Python block in Workflow? There is no direct way to call a query from the query library from a Python block in Retool Workflow. However, there are a few workarounds that you can use: 1. Use the Resource Query block You can create a Resource Query block and select the query from the query library in the Query field. Then, you can use the Output of the Resource Query block as the input for your Python block. 2. Use a SQL client You can use a SQL client library, such as psycopg2, to connect to the Retool database and execute the query from the query library. Then, you can use the results of the query as the input for your Python block. 3. Use a Retool API You can use the Retool API to create a new query or execute an existing query. Then, you can use the results of the query as the input for your Python block. Here is an example of how to call a query from the query library from a Python block in Retool Workflow using the Resource Query block: # Get the output of the Resource Query block query_output = workflow.get_block_output("resource_query") # Parse the JSON output data = json.loads(query_output) # Do something with the data for row in data: Currently, Retool does not support user-imported Python libraries in Python blocks. This means that you cannot use any third-party Python libraries in your Python blocks. However, Retool does preinstall a number of popular Python libraries, such as numpy, pandas, and scipy. I hope this helps!
Although California is technically an at-will employment state, where an employer can fire you at any time, that doesn’t necessarily mean an employer can terminate your employment for any reason. Illegal reasons to fire an employee in California include (but aren’t limited to) retaliation, age discrimination, gender identity discrimination, change in marital status, pregnancy, and more. If you’ve recently lost your job in Los Angeles and suspect your employer fired you for illegal reasons, you could file a wrongful termination claim or lawsuit. The purpose of doing so is to pursue any compensation for which you may be eligible. In some circumstances, taking legal action can also allow a victim of wrongful termination to seek reinstatement to their job. You must simply understand that these cases are very complex. To boost your odds of success, it’s smart to hire a Los Angeles wrongful termination attorney. The strategies a wrongful termination lawyer in Los Angeles may employ to help you win your case can vary depending on a number of factors. That said, common strategies an employment lawyer may use in these circumstances include: Determining the True Reason Your Employer Fired You Employers will often lie about their reasons for firing employees when their true reasons for doing so are illegal. For example, perhaps your employer has fired you because you filed a sexual harassment complaint. It’s unlikely your employer will have admitted this was their reason for terminating your employment. Instead, they may claim you lost your job because your performance no longer met their expectations. A Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyer will often strive to determine whether an employer’s actual motivation for firing you was illegal. Evidence they may use to strengthen your case includes: - Past performance reviews - Chat logs - Text messages - Employment contracts - Any other relevant documentation Witnesses can potentially play a critical role in your case. Thus, a wrongful termination attorney in Los Angeles may interview certain valuable witnesses to build a stronger case against your employer. For example, perhaps your attorney believes it’s necessary to disprove your employer’s claim that you were fired because of poor on-the-job performance. To this end, they might interview coworkers, clients, past supervisors, and others who may have insight into your strengths as an employee. Or, if you believe you were fired for discriminatory reasons, your attorney may interview witnesses who may confirm discrimination has occurred in your workplace. Investigating Past Wrongdoing It’s not uncommon for employers who engage in wrongful termination to have a history of such misconduct. It’s possible you’re not the first employee who has lost their job with a particular company for illegal reasons. If there’s evidence your employer has illegally fired others before you, your Los Angeles wrongful termination attorney may investigate their history to gather potentially useful evidence. That said, these are merely a few ways a lawyer may approach your case. At Azadian Law Group, PC, an experienced Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyer will develop a strategy that’s tailored to the specifics of your firing.

Balance and coordination exist when the body is used for what it is designed for. Exercises such as walking, swimming, yoga, Pilates, bicycling, martial arts, and bodybuilding all help to improve muscle coordination. Activities such as working at a desk, reading, and watching television do the opposite for the body. Without realizing it, most people have extreme stress in their muscles. This muscular tension contributes to muscle tightness, restricted movement, and joint pain. This occurs simply because they sit for many hours every day and do not perform regular exercises that will work to keep all of the muscles in their body in balance.

About Lobby Cards Initially produced by Hollywood, Lobby cards became one of the mainstays of Bollywood promotions along with posters and synopsis. They generally feature one or more photographic stills along with details of the production house, movie name and often some text and were produced in sets of 8 initially and later, up to 20. They were usually printed on heavy paper resembling cardboard. Lobby cards played an important role not only in promoting the films but also in bringing stardom to actors, gradually moving away from just stills of films to also featuring protagonists as well. One would find femininity of female actors being delicately showcased and faces of male actors as well. Initially included black and white stills, they gradually moved to coloured ones, with the advent of colour cinema. Lobby cardsor mounted movie stills are the rarer set of memorabilia collectibles, as they were produced in much lower numbers. This makes them highly collectible and more sought-after items among collectors.
GPS Guide – July 17, 2019 HOPE AND FORGIVENESS Read: Acts 7:54-60 “54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.” (NIV Acts 7:54-60) Study: The world has changed since New Testament times. It’s unlikely any of us will ever face crucifixion or stoning (and we’re thankful). Jesus and his follower Stephen, however, faced those terrible deaths. Yet they both asked God to forgive even the people killing them, people who didn’t even want their forgiveness. Their prayers showed how Jesus’ kind of forgiving spirit can permeate our lives, if we are open to it. Think of a time when someone wronged you in a major way. Remember how the situation came to be, what feelings it triggered in you, and what you did about them. Have you been able to forgive and let go of the hurt, or has this wrong continued to haunt you? What would it take for you to set yourself free from the past by forgiving? What kind of help, divine or human, might you need for that process? Pray: Lord Jesus, have mercy on me. And even as I ask for your mercy, which I need every day, help me be merciful to those who wrong me, so that they and I may be free. Amen.

Despite an official warning to stay away, hundreds of protesters gathered in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou on Aug. 1 for the second Sunday in a row to protest in support of the Cantonese language. The demonstrators were met by a heavy police presence at the city's People's Park, and several people were detained. The rallies were inspired by a proposal by a Guangzhou political advisory body to increase the amount of local television broadcast in Mandarin, China's official language, to make visitors feel welcome during the Asian Games being held in the city in November. That touched a nerve among some people in the megalopolis who felt Cantonese, which is widely spoken in the region, was under assault. Last week, Ouyang Yongsheng, deputy director of the general office of the Guangzhou city government, said at a press conference that there were no efforts to marginalize Cantonese and that those spreading rumors to the contrary "will be duly punished," the China Daily reported. One person was held after the initial July 25 protest and placed under a five-day detention for promoting the demonstration online, according to the newspaper. Following yesterday's protest, the Guangzhou public-security bureau issued a notice on its website that the gathering at the People's Park was the work of "a small number of people with insufficient rationality and one or two with ulterior motives" and that "individual troublemakers would be punished." Ye Du, a Guangzhou writer who attended both protests, said the authorities took a far more aggressive stance this weekend. "At least a thousand policemen were at the scene," Ye said. He was detained shortly after arriving at the park Sunday. "By 2:30 p.m., I was taken away by some cops to 'have coffee,' and they didn't release me until around 6 p.m." In Hong Kong, a semiautonomous Chinese city where Cantonese predominates, about 200 people gathered at Southorn Playground in the Wanchai district on Sunday to support the mainland protest. "We are here to echo the Guangzhou people's voices because we believe Guangzhou people are our brothers and sisters," said Hon Lin Shan, an official with the Hong Kong Professional Teachers' Union. "If their freedom of choice is interfered with, sooner or later Hong Kong people's freedom of choice will be interfered with, because we are in the same country." Cantonese is widely used in Guangzhou and in parts of the neighboring region of Guangxi, as well as in Hong Kong. Cantonese is also commonly spoken in many Chinatowns around the world, though it now has greater competition from the Fujianese and Mandarin imported by more recent generations of migrants. Cantonese is the language of Cantopop music and most Hong Kong films, which are widely influential in the greater Chinese-speaking world. It is tonally more complex than Mandarin and has a few unique characters, though in formal writing the languages are largely the same. For most of the past century, successive Chinese governments have encouraged the use of standard Mandarin, which is based on the Beijing dialect. In classrooms in the South, it is common to see signs that say "Please speak putonghua," the Communist Party's name for standard Chinese to remind children not to use their local dialect while at school. The pro-Cantonese protests in Guangzhou and Hong Kong have been fairly small, but they represent a broader effort by speakers of common Chinese dialects to stand up for their languages in the face of strong official promotion of Mandarin. In Shanghai, one radio host's denouncement of a listener's plea in December to not use Shanghainese on-air became a hot topic of that dialect's supporters online. Local comic Zhou Libo has won huge audiences for his routines that use Shanghainese almost exclusively. But while the authorities tolerate those types of cultural expression, they are much more wary of organized protests. "The central government is very concerned about unity," says Joseph Cheng, a political-science professor at City University of Hong Kong. "There's a lack of tolerance for these things. They see this as a sort of contamination lack of political correctness and the result of outside influences." Demonstrators at the Hong Kong rally argued that Cantonese and Mandarin should be allowed to coexist. "Every Chinese should know how to speak Mandarin," said Kevin Kong, a 29-year-old Guangzhou native who migrated to Canada. "But at the same time, everyone has the right to speak their native language. There shouldn't be any conflict between the two languages. Just because you speak Mandarin doesn't mean you should give up your mother language." With reporting by Hillary Brenhouse / Hong Kong and Jessie Jiang / Beijing

Title: Scrambled Eggs Format: Open Speaker Talk ©2021 Bob Cristello Hello Faithful Reader. My name is Bob. On August 16, 2017, my son Anthony killed himself at the age of 35. If you are new here, that sentence is the only sentence you need to say in order to claim your seat. It is a completely acceptable post all on it’s own to say that you are here, that you feel you might need help and you do not know what to do next. I see you and I love you. Welcome to this place that no one wants to be in today and know that, at least, you are understood here and can relax for a moment. If you say the phrase ‘Scrambled Eggs’ and then say the phrase ‘Yesterday’ you wil discover that they rhyme and have the same number of syllables. Oh yes, I suffer from Hyperlexia as do any of the children in my unique bloodline. So I am fascinated with numbers, letters, words, symbols and most of all music. I see the world a little differently than others. I was also raped at the age of 13 and still made it to Broadway, Charlie Rose, Phil Donahue and 60 Minutes by the age of 35. I have never met Paul McCartney, though I know many of you enjoy the stories of my celebrity friends. I was watching ‘Get Back’ by Peter Jackson and my wife was fascinated that Paul and John could write a hit song in 20 minutes from nothing but the need to create. Paul’s most famous song ‘Yesterday’ was something he woke up with in his head and started singing ‘Scrambled Eggs’ as he used it for a placeholder. We can take a lesson from Sir Paul in the ‘faking it until you make it’ category. Today’s post is purposely crafted to be light, non-confrontational or angry. Yes, I am angry all the time. I am even angry at what some of you might call God, though I do not necessarily call it that all the time. I try not to use the term ‘God’ simply because many different people have different names for what they see in their soul as ‘God’. So, that could dilute the message of hope that we accept on the day we return to the living. Some of us never want to take that step and that is okay too. I am not a self-help guru. I am not going to ‘sell’ you anything, though I have encountered people who have attempted to. They offered to help me if I ‘buy’ their product, their paradigm or their ability to heal me instead of teaching me to heal myself. Yes, I am angry at that too. I am angry that I am responsible for the death of my son. I am angry enough now to make a difference in the world. So, yes, I speak and write for a group of people who have lost a child to suicide. I also write to a group of people who have not lost a child to suicide, but they do love and wish to help another parent who has. So I welcome them into our conversations as an observer, but I keep a wary eye over my flock. I am writing today because it is December 23, 2021. Two days ago, my son Anthony would have been forty years old. In two days, I will celebrate Christmas with my family. Two of my three worst days of the year strung together in a five day period. To be clear, for me they are the day Anthony was born, the day Anthony died and Christmas. Last year, I flew from Phoenix Arizona to Vermont to start a new life. Last summer I could not walk across my small city without stopping at every bathroom between my house and the Psychiatrist’s office. If I did not, I would not be able to control my own bowels. US Army Veteran defecates on himself over grief, film at 11:00. My wife, a tiny beautiful creature who has brought nothing but love and light into the dark corners of my world, quietly asked me for help. She called me Bobby, which I knew meant she was really in trouble. People call me Bobby now, I actually am starting to like it. She needed me to get out of bed, to help pay the bills. I got up and looked around at the mess I had made in the year I was here. I saw the bills piled up and I saw that no money was coming in. I was walking around like a beggar and a thief and I had to do something. I made a decision, but I took no action. Please hear this, it is a skill you must learn and learn it soon. Learning to make decisions without taking action is a critical juncture in this journey and I beg you to not enter into this without someone from this group that has already undergone the process. The decision was to return to life. If I tried to act on it in that moment, I would have failed. I made that decision it on the spot and I did not look back. I had no idea how it was going to happen but I did not let that deter me. Four months later from that place of abject poverty I now have a book, a six figure income, a website, a manager and three businesses I am running. I write every day to an ever expanding audience of people and I am not selling anything. I have no idea why there are 140,000 people in my audience where just four months ago I was posting idiotic comments to social media and someone might take pity on me and post a like. I did not do any of that, I had help. I had help from people in these very virtual rooms who just loved me. They told me, ‘Bobby, you are in shock bro’. You can’t grieve until you get past the shock and the world doesn’t even realize you are in shock. Like an amputee we feel our toes that we know are no longer there. They itch, we reach down to scratch them and we see that they are gone all over again. This is what it is like to lose a child to suicide. If you are one of those people who just love one of us, then next time you want to say anything please just put yourself in check and say ‘I see you and I love you’. It is what we say to each other. We invite you to use the same techniques if you wish to be heard. Please know that there is hope, but if you do not carry that message it may not be heard. I am a soldier and I know no one is coming. That makes me responsible. I could not do it alone, I went a long way with the help of others but there were days that nothing on this earth could save me from shock and grief. I had to turn to something greater than myself, some people call that ‘God’. Some people simply call it service to the community because sharing our experiences, strengths and hope with each other is how this works. Others among us feel that no spiritual component is necessary though I do believe that road must be filled with a higher degree of difficulty. If you are here today and this is your first time, please know it is ok to be clouded in the fog of war. It is okay that you are in shock and it is okay that you can’t think straight. While there might be other mental health issues that are a factor in your life, there is nothing going on here that cannot be explained with the medical definition of shock. Many of us are actually relieved when we discover this. We simply cannot grieve until we move past the shock. If you can, please attempt to click one like button. Not because it is good for social media, or search engine optimization or it makes this particular group more popular. Do it to say ‘I accept that I need help and my grief is taking my life out of control.’ It is the first step in a long but rewarding process. I pray that you find the ‘Blessings of Grief’ that will come when you start to work this program. Clean your area, create something even if it is just a sandwich, tell someone you love them today and be gentle on yourself. You are okay and you need time to think, to slow down and take a breath. Close your eyes for a moment, this post will still be here. Breathe in slow through your nose, hold it for a moment and exhale through your mouth but pucker your lips slightly to give some resistance to the air. Feel it move in, filling you and then leaving. This is God, you and I connecting in this way. This is how it works. Now, reach out and just click a heart. I see you and I love you. My name is Bob, thank you for letting me share.

Meet the Copper Team with 300+ Years of Financial Services Expertise Hi, I’m Nick Goode, Chief Marketing Officer at Copper. I sat down with Chief Operating Officer, Sabrina Wilson and Head of Prime Services, Mike Roberts, to find out what experience they and their teams bring from the financial services industry to the Digital Assets space. Nick: Sabrina, let me start with you. Your career spans 25 years with major firms across the world. Tell us a bit more about your background. Sabrina: I started my career in London as a broker dealer on a fixed income derivatives dealing desk. I quickly realised the markets were going to digitise. I moved to JP Morgan in New York for seven years, where I joined one of the first teams on Wall Street to develop electronic solutions for Listed Derivatives. At the time I was running the Americas Product Development for that team. Next, I moved to Goldman Sachs (pre the financial crisis) to take on a larger global mandate within the GS Electronic Trading division, where we also started developing Algorithmic Trading solutions and related analytics. Post the financial crisis, when the clearing mandate hit, I was entrusted with the management of the European Clearing business at Deutsche Bank, and six years ago I joined the Citi Clearing business, which I ended up co-running globally in addition to Listed Derivatives Global Electronic Execution. Nick: How about you, Mike? I started my career at Pershing and then moved to Merrill Lynch in 1989. Shortly after I joined, Merrill decided to build an international Prime Brokerage (PB) business to expand outside of the US. I spent years working on the build: clearing, custody, stock loan, stock loan margin, assets optimisation and collateral management, swaps, risk management — the list goes on. In 2006 I moved into the business and held various roles before becoming EMEA Head of the PB Platform. In summary, I have spent 30+ years building and running Prime Brokerage services. I have loved every minute of it. Nick: You both joined Copper in the first half of 2022. What convinced you to make the move? Sabrina: A new challenge, an emerging and innovative industry, a huge leadership opportunity and a great team. I was drawn to the challenges the financial industry is facing: how to improve the post trade environment? How to be more collateral efficient? This role combines my three passions of tech, markets and leadership. Mike: 2008 changed Prime business across The Street significantly. The early days of Prime were about innovation and building solutions for clients, as they were (and remain) at the centre of everything. The Global Financial Crisis rightly drove higher levels of regulation and most PB’s spent all their time and budget on regulatory change, which continues to this day. It is expensive and extremely hard to deliver when businesses are running at scale on old tech stacks. Then you look at Digital Assets. The more you understand the technology, the more you realise finance is at a crossroads — and technology eventually always wins. Drawing on my experience, I am happiest when I can innovate and deliver solutions for clients. Finally, I am privileged to count some of the smartest minds in the world as clients. If they are focused and making big bets in the Digital Asset space, why would I bet against them? Nick: Mike, you brought a team over from Bank of America (BofA) Securities. Tell us more about them. Mike: My experience in Prime taught me some fundamental principles: Some examples of the expertise I have been fortunate enough to bring on board at Copper: Blending the above with Copper’s existing and deep bench of Digital Asset and traditional finance expertise and it is starts to feel like the best mix of innovation and experience that I have ever seen come together to deliver for clients. Nick: Sabrina, in your role as Chief Operating Officer, how are you building best practice in the organisation? Where are you focusing? Sabrina: My team spans risk, security, operations, legal and compliance, and people. My role is really focused on enabling the organisation to sustain its growth, build the scale foundations and focus on compliance in the broad sense. This includes: Nick: It’s great that you bring this broad and deep expertise from traditional finance, what about the expertise in Digital Assets at Copper? Sabrina: We stand at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets, absolutely. Our office is a real blend of these worlds, enabling us to cross-train each other. We have a real culture of learning. I am sure Mike feels the same when I say I am learning every day from our crypto experts such as Kadar Abdi and our CEO Dmitry Tokarev himself! Having spent 20+ years in capital markets, what I can say is that much of the infrastructure, process, regulatory requirements and client needs are the same in the digital world. The technology and the assets are different, but the fundamentals, such as protection of client funds, providing effective access to liquidity, and ensuring clients have access to the trading tools they need are principally the same. I believe my team’s knowledge in these areas are some of the key strengths we bring to Copper and part of the reason I love working here. Mike: I’d definitely say there’s a good balance between TradFi and crypto in the firm. We look for proven experience in digital assets for institutions in our hiring and fast-track learning programmes when people join. We’re building one culture, underpinned by excellence in process, operational security and so on. Nick: Where do you see the institutional Digital Assets market one year from now? Sabrina: In my view we will see the following by this time next year: Mike: In my opinion we will see more focus on exchange standards and security. We are already seeing exchanges creating proof of reserves documentation to reassure their clients, of which the institutional side makes up a large portion of their assets under management. Solutions such as ClearLoop will come to the fore by offering a crucial additional layer of confidence to both clients and exchanges for their institutional clients. Although unfortunate for those who lost out when FTX collapsed in November, it has demonstrated the importance of additional external protections via Digital Asset custodians such as Copper. I expect this to be a trend that looms large in 2023. Nick: Speaking of the future, let me put this to you. In a recent Twitter thread about FTX by Justina Lee at Bloomberg, it talked about how the collapse was a threat to the current exchange-centric model. Sam Bankman Fried (SBF) wanted tradfi futures to look like crypto, but crypto might end up looking like tradfi instead. What are your thoughts? Mike: It’s clear that no one entity can be a one-stop-shop for both custody and trading needs. This separation, conceptually like the segregation of Church and State, between trading services and custodians has been a long-established part of traditional financial markets. Longstanding structures like this are longstanding for a reason, and principally they help to avoid mismanagement and fraudulent activity — something that regulators take very seriously. I expect to see the crypto markets start to converge with these ideals as institutional finance becomes more involved in digital assets Sabrina: The crypto market is still very nascent and in order to grow it will need to take lessons from the traditional finance markets. In part this will come from the emergence of firms such as Copper that are attempting to bridge the two financial sectors by bringing regulatory and risk management standards to the new space. In short, I think integration between the two is still a work in progress but that bringing them together will bring benefits to both.

Welcome to the Quranic Arabic Corpus, an annotated linguistic resource which shows the Arabic grammar, syntax and morphology for each word in the Holy Quran. The corpus provides three levels of analysis: morphological annotation, a syntactic treebank and a semantic ontology. The Quran is a significant religious text written in Quranic Arabic, and is followed by believers of the Islamic faith. The Quran contains 6,236 numbered verses (ayāt) and is divided into 114 chapters. An example verse from the Quran: (21:30) Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe? - Version 0.4 Released - new and updated linguistic features in this version of the corpus - Word by Word Quran - maps out the syntax of the entire Quran, with analysis and translation - Quranic Grammar - traditional Arabic grammar (إعراب) illustrated using dependency graphs How you can get involved This project contributes to the research of the Quran by applying natural language computing technology to analyze the Arabic text of each verse. The word by word grammar is very accurate, but ensuring complete accuracy is not possible without your help. If you come across a word and you feel that a better analysis could be provided, you can suggest a correction online by clicking on an Arabic word. World map of users of the Quranic Arabic Corpus, provided by Google Analytics. Countries with the highest number of users are shaded in darker green. The map above shows worldwide interest in the Quranic Arabic Corpus. Every day, the website is used by over 2,500 people from 165 different countries. Help us review the information on this website so that together we can build the most accurate linguistic resource for Quranic Arabic. The Quranic Arabic Dependency Treebank (QADT) The Quranic treebank is an effort to map out the entire grammar of the Quran by linking Arabic words through dependencies. The linguistic structure of verses is represented using mathematical graph theory. The annotated corpus provides a novel visualization of Quranic syntax using dependency graphs. The Ontology of Quranic Concepts The Quranic Ontology uses knowledge representation to define the key concepts in the Quran, and shows the relationships between these concepts using predicate logic. Named entities in verses, such as the names of historic people and places mentioned in the Quran, are linked to concepts in the ontology.

- "The RX" by CosmicRx - Welcome to the eclipse portal 💫 Welcome to the eclipse portal 💫 The “RX” Mar 11 - Mar 17: Welcome to the eclipse portal 🌀💫 Happy Moon Day, Baddies! This week marks the final chapter of Pisces season and its mystical, magical, otherworldly energy! Before we dive headfirst into an action-packed Aries season (and the upcoming eclipse season), embrace this last chance to explore the psychedelic depths that Pisces has to offer. Whether you're soaking it in or just waiting it out, use this week to your advantage. As we get ready to jump from one portal to the next, we’re breaking down some of what you can expect from the upcoming lunar eclipse on March 25th, so you have all the tools and tips for ultimate celestial success. Who’s ready to shed old skin and embrace a powerful reset 🙋♀️. Need a little extra support as we navigate the astrological new year + eclipse season? Sign up for the CosmicRx Premium subscription for access to monthly moon guides, live calls (like our Solar Eclipse healing circle on 4/8), exclusive bonus content, daily text message affirmations, and so much more! DIG A LITTLE DEEPER: ☾ ARIES MOON: MONDAY, TUESDAY This week starts with some fiery Aries moon energy carrying over from the weekend 🔥. It's a "get shit done" vibe, perfect for tackling that project you've been putting off. However, with the Pisces sun still influencing us, there's a risk of neglecting our emotions. Be aware of unacknowledged feelings that can erupt as anger or frustration later. So take a beat and check in with yourself. Journal, meditate, or pull out an emotion wheel to identify what's bubbling beneath the surface. Remember, anger is valid, but it might be masking a deeper emotion waiting to be explored. TREAT YOURSELF, RESPONSIBLY ☾ TAURUS MOON: WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY A Pisces sun, Taurus moon, plus a few special guest stars! Until the end of May, Taurus moon days will be influenced by expansive Jupiter and disruptive Uranus, which could spark unexpected ideas or downloads. Feeling stuck? Get grounded in nature or your body – inspiration might just strike 💡. However, with a Pisces sun and Taurus moon combo, be mindful of overindulgence. We love “treat culture” around here, but this energy can easily lead to unhealthy extremes. So just take a sec to check yourself before you wreck yourself. MAGIC IN THE MUNDANE ☾ GEMINI MOON: FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY Embrace the Pisces-Gemini energy by setting an intention to find magic in the everyday. Strike up conversations with strangers, explore bookstores for hidden messages, or follow any intuitive Google searches — the universe might show you something interesting! There’s a lot of potential for mystical, psychedelic magic in this final weekend of Pisces season, so stay grounded and choose wisely who you share your dreams with. Not everyone deserves access to your deepest aspirations. Keep your most precious visions close to your heart 💗. 🪐 CosmicRx+ Premium Become a member now! 3/11: Venus Enters Pisces 3/17: Sun Conjunct Neptune It’s all about Venus as we begin to approach eclipse season! On March 11th, Venus enters Pisces, a sign in which she feels right at home. Expect dreamy romance, artistic inspiration, and a touch of fairy tale magic in your relationships 🧚♀️. This transit is especially significant because it overlaps with the first eclipse of the year, a lunar eclipse in Libra (which is also ruled by Venus!). Remember the Libra-related changes you experienced during the eclipse around October 14th? Back then, the focus was on refinement and editing (thanks to Venus being in Virgo). Now, it's about adding beauty back into our lives and relationships. Think about how you can infuse more art, love, and transformation into your connections. The RX is delivered every Monday. Our moon-based community is up to more and more magic each week. Here are some extra doses of self-love, intuition, power & pleasure for you. 🎧 LISTEN UP: Join CosmicRx+ Premium for exclusive podcast episodes. 🎓 BECOME A STAR STUDENT!

Are you worried an appraiser’s valuation of your estate won’t capture its real price? Many real estate appraisers determine a large chunk of the value by looking at recent sales of similar properties in the area. Unfortunately, this method doesn’t always accurately reflect any unique features that have been added to the property or historical structures. Homeowners can walk away feeling cheated for all the improvements they’ve invested in to bolster the property. Luckily, there is another option that does take these things into consideration. The cost approach method factors in the value of all its individual components, the depreciated value of the improvements and the underlaying land. Let’s take a closer look at the cost approach formula and whether it’s the right appraisal method for your property. The cost approach method In short, the cost approach method looks at how much the property would cost new, subtracts the depreciation and adds that to the land value to determine the final property value. This method relies on the economic belief that smart buyers won’t pay more for a home than they would for a similar home with the same utility level. The cost approach valuation is ideal for new properties that are being used for the best purpose and highest potential. It doesn’t rely as heavily on comparisons to recent sales in the area, which makes it especially useful for valuing a special use property or one with several unique components that wouldn’t be adequately valued in a traditional valuation. Here’s how a real estate appraiser in Napa County, CA looks at each component: - Cost new: This can be defined in two different ways. The replacement cost new looks at how much it would cost to construct the building with the same utility using current materials, standards, designs and layouts. The reproduction option attempts to value an exact duplicate of the property with materials and construction practices in use at the time when the house was built. This will hardly affect recently constructed properties, but it will account for unique or historic properties that have a large cost difference between the reproduction and replacement costs. - Depreciation: Any depreciation from the “new” cost will also need to be considered. This might include normal wear and tear, aging and anything that could reduce the property’s utility, such as a home with outdated plumbing or electrical wiring. The surrounding neighborhood will also influence the depreciation. - Land value: Typically, the land value is determined by comparing the property to recently sold plots within the area. Any geographical features, such as a lake or proximity to a vineyard, could also impact the value. Unlike other appraisal approaches, the cost approach methods don’t require an active market to work in your favor. Instead, it’s all based on the quality of the land and any improvements. It’s the best option for historical estates or large-acreage properties, like a vineyard or winery. This is just a brief look at some of the methods used by County Appraisals Inc. Contact a real estate appraiser in Napa County, CA today to determine which appraisal type is right for you. Categorised in: Real Estate Appraisals This post was written by Writer

MetallicaÂ’s recent collaboration with Lou Reed, Lulu, was so critically panned that it has landed the band in prison. However, considering that the prison in question can fit 40,000 people buying tickets of upwards of 695 kroner a pop, the American-Danish thrash metal band certainly isnÂ’t hurting. Horsens, in its seemingly constant attempt to rebrand itself from prison town to music mecca, has taken this effort full circle as they turn the now-vacant prison into a music venue Â– simply known as Prison Â– with Metallica holding inauguration duties. The four-piece will be playing their most commercially successful album in its entirety at their June 6 concert. Their self-titled fifth album, affectionately (or disdainfully, depending on which Metallica fan you talk to) known as The Black Album, contains hits like Â‘Enter SandmanÂ’, Â‘Sad But TrueÂ’, Â‘Wherever I May RoamÂ’, Â‘Nothing Else MattersÂ’, and Â‘The UnforgivenÂ’. The album is a controversial one, as it saw Metallica ostracize much of the fan base they had cultivated on the backs of seminal records Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets in favor of a more polished, commercial sound. The decision was beneficial financially, as it saw Metallica sell 25 million copies of The Black Album worldwide. But it also saw them put out less-than-stellar offerings in the wake of that album: see the aforementioned Lulu. The show is a homecoming of sorts for Metallica, as drummer Lars Ulrich was born and raised in Gentofte before moving to the United States to play tennis. Â“Back to the fatherland. After five great concerts in Forum in the summer of Â’09, we shall meet again with our Danish friends, inaugurate a new concert venue in Horsens, play The Black Album in its entirety, and even serve a stint in jail!Â” Ulrich said to Danish fans. Â“IÂ’m as excited as a little kid. See you in June.Â”

In an IB PYP school, students learn through the lenses of six transdisciplinary themes: Who We Are, Where We Are in Place and Time, How We Organize Ourselves, How the World Works, How We Express Ourselves, and Sharing the Planet. Transdisciplinary means that the themes do not fall within the confines of traditional subject areas, such as math, science, or reading. Instead, these themes encourage students to explore knowledge across subjects throughout the day, including in specials classes. From kindergarten through fifth grade, students participate in one unit per year under each of these themes. In preschool, students participate in four units per year. Each year, the learning builds on knowledge from previous years. Every unit is focused around a central idea and lines of inquiry which help to further define the knowledge students will learn. The knowledge we teach throughout every unit is guided by Colorado Academic Standards, PYP scope and sequence documents, the transdisciplinary themes, and the natural curiosities of children.

There ought to be a word for the particular form of melancholy you feel, upon finishing a book you’ve been enjoying so much you never wanted it to end. If there is such a word, in some language or other—I’m looking at you, German—then I experienced the extreme form late last year, as I arrived at the hopeful concluding passages of Silverview, a slim 2021 novel about a seaside bookseller in a small British town who becomes entangled with a former spy in a bad jam. That novel, of course, is by John le Carré, nee David Cornwall, and it was quite good—not le Carré’s best, but le Carré’s best is a very high standard, indeed. What distinguishes Silverview is that it was the last book the master of spy fiction ever wrote (technically, the last one he was writing, because he left it unfinished at his death—although only just barely unfinished, according to a loving postscript by his son, the novelist Nick Harkaway, who completed it posthumously). For me, the end of Silverview meant the completion of a years-long project I set for myself almost a decade ago: to read all of le Carré’s twenty-six novels, chronologically, from the beginning of his career to the end. I am hoping this doesn’t sound like some sort of nerdy literary flex, like the guy who read the whole Oxford English Dictionary, or the people who stay up for a whole weekend reading Moby-Dick. I decided to take on le Carré’s oeuvre out of honest enthusiasm, after reading Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy quite randomly. I was designing a course in mystery-thriller writing for an MFA program and realized I had no espionage on the syllabus. Twenty pages in, I felt like David Letterman in that marvelous clip after Future Islands plays his show, and he grins and goes, “I’ll take all of that you got!” That’s how I felt when I was done with Tinker, a complexly plotted, impeccably crafted, and morally probing novel of Cold War spycraft: I’ll take all of that you got. What I sensed was that somehow there was much to learn here: much to be excited about as a reader and much to be inspired by as a writer. I started at the top, not wanting to miss anything, and not wanting to allow someone else’s arbitrary rankings to dictate which books I read, in what order. And so I traveled with John le Carré from the beginning, with Call for the Dead (1961) and A Murder of Quality (1962) two delightful if unremarkable mystery-thrillers very much of their time and place. It is only with book number three, The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1963) that we can feel the great man becoming great; it is in In From the Cold that he finds his metier, the grubby heroics of Cold War spies, and the sophisticated nuance and drollery of his voice. By the time we get to The Looking Glass War (1965) one has the sense of a true artist, alive in a world he would make his own, adding notes of comedy and world-weary melancholy to his canvass, expanding outwards from the core. And does he ever, in books six, seven, and eight—Tinker, Tailor (1974), Honorable Schoolboy (1977), and Smiley’s People (1979), the famous trilogy starring the flawed spymaster George Smiley, whose owl-frame glasses and air of heroic melancholy will forever define for me what a protagonist should be: not a hero who is always heroic, but one who tries to be, and never quite can. And of course, le Carré was only get started. Indeed, one of the many interesting things I discovered by reading the entirety of le Carré is that his reputation as the definitional Cold War novelist badly undersells him. It was revelatory to watch him develop certain muscles as he wrote his classic Cold War thrillers—in particular his form of complex moral inquiry, a way of seeing all sides without ever abandoning a commitment to simple right and wrong—and then bring those facilities to bear throughout his long, fruitful post-Cold War period, when he turned his searing attention to to, say, Israel and Palestine (The Little Drummer Girl, 1983) or international arms dealing (The Night Manager, 1993) or the slick wickedness of the pharmaceutical business (The Constant Gardner, 2001). As I approached the end of the list, and the 2000s le Carre gave way to the 2010s le Carre, I was afforded one of the most moving pleasures of my life as a reader—reencountering George Smiley, who we had left behind three decades and a dozen books ago, as he wandered into the pages of A Legacy of Spies (2017), a much older and diminished man, still trying his best to see the world clearly and set it to rights. Much, I like to think, like his author. Having arrived at the end of this project, I do heartily recommend it, and not just as regards my man John; whoever your literary fave happens to be, start at the beginning and read until you’ve arrived at the end. (It helps, of course, if your fave published or publishes relatively sparingly; if you’re obsessed with, say, Trollope, you may need to quit your job). What you’ll gain, first of all, is a deeper enjoyment of each individual book, seeing what themes extend from the previous one, and which will be picked up and explored further down the line. What’s to be gained even more so is a deeper, overarching pleasure, of watching this larger entity come into being, this thing called a career, a corpus, emerging as its own text that you can read and enjoy, alongside of and over-top of the individual novels. I will say that in the months since I finished Silverview, I I’ve experienced some version of mourning. I’m sad not only that the man born David Cornwell is gone, and will not be writing any more of these astonishing books…but also that I’ve read them all, and will never again experience the sublime pleasure of reading a le Carre novel for the first time. Although—and maybe it’s a coincidence, and maybe it’s a sly plot turn worthy of the master—but shortly after I finished I saw the news that Harkaway will be writing new novels in his father’s style, to feature George Smiley. I don’t think that under the terms of my deal with myself I will be obligated to read these…but somehow I suspect that I will.

Federal officials are easing water restrictions after an unusually snowy winter in the mountains helped replenish the beleaguered river and its reservoirs and led to new Colorado River forecasts from the Bureau of Reclamation. But the river’s users, which include Arizona and six other Western states, 30 Native American tribes and Mexico, are still under pressure to reduce demand. “We are still on the precipice of a lot of uncertainty,” said Kyle Roerink, director of the nonprofit Great Basin Water Network. “The precarious nature of our modern water cycle should give all water managers pause. We just have to think, how are we going to live in a world where there’s going to be much less?” Overall water levels in Lake Mead and Lake Powell have been declining for more than two decades, and experts widely agree that one wet winter will not be enough to correct the imbalance between supply and demand on the river’s water. But the snowy winter helped buy time for negotiators who will decide how the river’s water will be shared in the future, with current rules set to expire in 2026. New projections from Reclamation – the federal agency that manages Western water – show Lake Mead’s water level falling just below 1,068 feet in January of next year. A shortage is triggered any time that number is below 1,075 feet. Reclamation releases a new version of the 24-month study each month, projecting the next two years of water availability. The August study is used to determine if cutbacks are needed in the coming year. In 2022, the agency’s August projections dealt the first-ever mandatory cutbacks to some water users and thrust the Colorado River’s supply-demand imbalance into the national spotlight. In 2023, those cuts were expanded. This August study will roll back 2023’s water restrictions. New cuts, which will be put in place in 2024, are the same size as the cuts in place for 2022. Arizona will lose about 18% of its Colorado River supply and about 8% of the state’s total water use. Nevada will lose about 7% of its water allocation. Current cutbacks are based on agreements written in 2007 and 2019. The Central Arizona Project, which brings Colorado River water across the desert to supply the Phoenix area, will feel the brunt of Arizona’s cuts. Brenda Burman, CAP’s director and a former Bureau of Reclamation commissioner, said the cuts are difficult for farmers in Pinal County, but will not have short-term impacts on homes and businesses in the Phoenix metro area. “In 2024, you should not be concerned about the water coming out of your faucet,” Burman said. “But in the long term, you should know that we are in shortage. This is not something new. We expect that there is a smaller river.” Human-caused climate change is making the western U.S. warmer, upsetting the natural processes that keep water flowing through the Colorado River. At the same time, the river is seeing steady demand from tens of millions of people from Wyoming to Mexico. More than 70% of that demand for water, however, comes from agriculture. In the past four years, the amount of water stored in Lake Powell dropped particularly quickly. In April, water levels dipped to the lowest they’ve been since the reservoir was first filled in the 1960s. Conservationists who campaign for the draining of Lake Powell celebrated the return of once-submerged geological features and animal habitat, but water managers scrambled to protect infrastructure reliant on certain reservoir levels. Hydroelectric generators within Glen Canyon Dam, which holds back Lake Powell, depend on a steady flow of water to keep turbines spinning. During the recent stretch of dry years, electricity output decreased because of weaker flows, and if water levels dropped any lower, they would have fallen below the pipes that pull water into the generators and threatened irreparable damage. A string of particularly dry years led water managers to focus on protecting infrastructure in the dam. Now, they are expected to turn their focus to a long-term reworking of how the Colorado River is shared. “We’re going to be back to the brink soon enough,” Roerink said. “So anyone who’s resting on their laurels, whether it be folks in power markets or water users, I think are living in a fallacy.” Decisions about where to store the region’s water were, for a few years, shaped by the urgent need to prop up Lake Powell, keeping those turbines spinning and keeping electricity flowing to about 5 million people across seven states. This year’s boost to Lake Powell is expected to lift some of that urgency and let negotiators from each of the seven states that use the river focus on long-term decisions about the river’s future. “All of us who rely on the river, who rely on our amazing infrastructure, have to be able to come to the table and show how they can live with less,” Burman said. -This story is part of ongoing coverage of water in the West, produced by KUNC in Colorado and supported by the Walton Family Foundation.

The Crypto Market Worth: Exploring the Valuation of Digital Currencies The world of cryptocurrency has witnessed enormous growth in recent years, with digital currencies gaining widespread recognition and acceptance. The valuation of these cryptocurrencies is an intriguing aspect that has caught the attention of many investors and enthusiasts alike. In this article, we delve into the crypto market worth and explore the factors that contribute to the valuation of digital currencies. Understanding the Crypto Market Before we delve into the intricacies of cryptocurrency valuation, it's essential to have a basic understanding of the crypto market. The crypto market refers to the ecosystem wherein various digital currencies are bought, sold, and traded. At the heart of the crypto market lies blockchain technology, a decentralized and secure system that records transactions and ensures transparency. This technology has paved the way for cryptocurrencies to thrive by creating trust and eliminating intermediaries. The Valuation Process Valuing digital currencies involves a combination of factors that influence their price and market capitalization. Let's explore some of these key factors: Market Supply and Demand Like any other asset, the price of a cryptocurrency is influenced by the basic economic principle of supply and demand. If there is a high demand for a particular digital currency and limited supply, its value is likely to increase. Conversely, if the demand dwindles or if there is an oversupply of the cryptocurrency, its value may decrease. Technology and Innovation The technological advancements and innovation surrounding a specific cryptocurrency can significantly impact its valuation. Projects and coins that introduce groundbreaking features or solve real-world problems often attract investors, leading to an increase in value. For example, Crypto.com Hawaii is a platform that explores the world of cryptocurrency and provides users with access to various digital assets. It offers innovative features that make it appealing to crypto enthusiasts and can contribute to the value of the platform. Market Sentiment and News The crypto market is highly influenced by market sentiment and news. Positive news, such as regulatory advancements or institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies, can instill confidence in investors, leading to a surge in prices. On the other hand, negative news or market crashes can cause panic selling and a decline in cryptocurrency value. One example of such news is the Crypto Crash Suicides in 2022, which unraveled the devastating consequences of the market crash. These incidents highlight the psychological impact that market fluctuations can have on investors. Tracking the Crypto Market To keep abreast of the value of digital currencies, many investors rely on platforms that provide real-time data on market capitalization. Platforms like Crypto Trade Signals offer valuable insights into the crypto market, allowing users to track the changing values of various cryptocurrencies. For instance, Crypto Market Cap Live allows users to monitor the current market value of digital currencies, making it easier to make informed investment decisions. Simplifying Tax Filing for Cryptocurrency Users As cryptocurrencies become more prevalent, so does the need for simplified tax filing processes. TurboTax Crypto Taxes caters to this need by offering a user-friendly platform that streamlines tax filing for cryptocurrency users. With TurboTax Crypto Taxes, users can easily report their crypto transactions and generate accurate tax reports. This ensures compliance with tax regulations and reduces the complexities associated with cryptocurrency taxation. The crypto market worth is a dynamic and ever-changing landscape, influenced by various factors. From market supply and demand to technological advancements and market sentiment, these factors shape the valuation of digital currencies. By staying informed and utilizing platforms like Crypto Trade Signals, investors can navigate the crypto market with more confidence.
Cryptocurrency prices may have been tepid for most of this year but this has not affected interest in digital currencies. More efforts are underway to ensure that Bitcoin and other digital currencies reach different geographies. Bitcoin ATMs are a great tool to ensure that the oldest digital currency reaches places deprived of internet and financial services. These machines have popped up across different continents such as Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa is also not far behind. Bitcoin ATMs in South Africa There are four existing Bitcoin ATMs in South Africa. One Bitcoin ATM is located at Johannesburg, Nelspruit while Pretoria has two. A Bitcoin ATM is a machine which can be used to buy and sell digital currencies. It works similar to a cash ATM but people can input fiat currency in the machine which is converted to digital currency of user’s choice. The digital currency is stored in a crypto wallet and a receipt is generated to acknowledge and confirm the payment. South Africa is one of the most prosperous countries in the African continent but Zimbabwe became the first African country to host a Bitcoin ATM. In May 2018, Johannesburg became the first South African city to have a Bitcoin ATM. The country had failed in its previous attempt of installing a Bitcoin ATM in 2014 and had to wait for four more years until 2018. According to some estimates, there are 200,000 to 300,000 people involved in cryptocurrencies in South Africa alone. Thus, there is a huge market size which could be tapped. Shane Maguire, owner of Bitcoinhub commented: “We are very happy with the progress we have made with our proof of concept and will be moving on to our expansion plan to deploy a nationwide network of VTM’s in the next year. Soon we will also announce the deployment of our first VTM which has two-way functionality so you will be able to both buy and sell cryptocurrencies using our machines. If you are a host location or are interested in partnering with Vendibit feel free to contact us via our website.” Second homecoming of Bitcoin ATM in South Africa “Lots of people in South Africa are also in the cryptocurrency space and lots of South Africans are watching it. However, not all individuals have access to it”, said George Neophytou, the General Manager of Northwold Spar. He also added that these Bitcoin ATMs had a minimum limit of R50 in the initial days which could be revised later. George said, “It is all awfully exciting. It will take away much the frustration of buying and selling cryptocurrency, and hopefully help make cryptocurrencies mainstream.”

It (2017) – The number 27 strikes again A fear of clowns may be one of the most common phobias, but the movie It — based on the novel by Stephen King — probably intensified those phobias by 100%. In It, a group of bullied kids come together to solve the mystery of missing children around town, including one of the kids’ own brother, Georgie. The pre-teens take on a shapeshifting, dark spirit that disguises itself as Pennywise The Clown in order to end its reign of terror. They may be losers at school, but they prove that they’re the bravest kids in town when they fight against a monster made of pure evil! Pennywise, played by Bill Skarsgård, is a twisted kind of monster who feeds on the fear of children. In order for Skarsgård to get into the right mindset to play a character that evil, he did some research into other famous psychopaths in cinema. He drew inspiration for the role from films like The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, The Dark Knight and The Silence of the Lambs. Like many other actors, Skarsgård and director Andy Muschietti felt that it might be best to keep the other cast and crew away from Skarsgård at the beginning of production. Not only did they want to guarantee a genuinely shocked reaction from the young actors, but they also wanted to avoid any leaked photos from the highly-anticipated project. While this strategy may have worked well, Skarsgård revealed he felt very lonely during filming and wished he could’ve had fun with the rest of the crew, who all apparently had a blast. Another interesting fact about this film has to do with the number 27. This number is often associated with It for a few reasons. The 2017 film was released 27 years after the original 1990 television adaptation, and in the original story, It returns to the town of Derry every 27 years. The film’s sequel is slated to be released on June 9, 2019, which, if you add up 6+9+2+0+1+9, equals 27. On a sadder note, Jonathan Brandis, who played young Bill in the original TV project, committed suicide at the young age of — you guessed it — 27.
Killing Eve season 3 continues this Sunday night on BBC America with “Still Got It”. Here’s how to watch online. In last week’s episode of Killing Eve, Villanelle and Eve came face to face for the first time since the season 2 finale, when the former shot the latter and left her for dead. They also KISSED ON A BUS, an event I honestly don’t think that I expected us to see on this show. While Killing Eve has never shied away from playing up the intense chemistry and frequent sexual tension between its leads, it’s also never turned the subtext explicitly into text before. I applaud the decision to do so, of course. But where does the show – and this relationship go from here? That’s the question on everyone’s mind as we head into season 3’s fourth episode. Entitled “Still Got It,” the installment appears as though it will pick up with both women attempting to continue on with their lives. The episode trailer is as vague as every clip from this season has been thus far, but from what we can tell below, Villanelle is back in Barcelona, baking that cake that featured in the initial season 3 trailers, and insisting that her crush is obviously still not over her. Eve, for her part, appears to be back at the Bitter Pill offices, insisting that she’s capable of making her own choices. What that all will ultimately mean, is anyone’s guess. Here are all the details you need to watch Killing Eve tonight: "Date: May 3Start Time: 9 p.m. ETEpisode: “Still Got It”TV Channel: BBC AmericaLive Stream: Watch live on Fubo TV.

As Good Trouble prepares to wrap up its main storylines, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," tries its best to set up the upcoming series finale. But, while it may set the board for what is to come, it lacks in making many decisive moves for its main characters. Apparently, Good Trouble wants to save its biggest plot manuevers for the series finale, but doing so only puts a halt to nearly every character during "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." Mariana and Joaquin's desire to see Silas go to prison for all he has done comes to a dead end when Madison's body is nowhere to be found on the property. However, Joaquin finally learns the truth about Jenna's return to Silas. Joaquin's devastation and horror are palpable, and his anguish over everything he and Mariana did to find Jenna and bring her home, meaning nothing as she went back, causes an emotional breakdown. Of course, Mariana is there to help Joaquin through his mental and emotional state. But, that is not where the love triangle ends. Mariana had also spent the episode arguing with Evan as Co-CEOs regarding what the future of the company means, and what expansion could do for the future. Evan's confusion over how he and Mariana were compatible as a romantic couple comes at an interesting time. But, of course, Evan can not sit with uncertainty for long as he is finally granted his memories of Mariana back, including the moment that he was shot. So, what does that mean for the decision Mariana ultimately has to make, especially as Evan's memories returning were overlapped by Mariana and Joaquin's night together? But, while this does pose questions, the only real forward movement here comes from the return of Evan's memories, which allows him to be in a better position to understand his history and feelings for Mariana as they head into the series finale. But, otherwise, this love triangle is still at the standstill it has been for a while now. Silas' role continues to be frustrating. While it may be specifically to make the eventual pay off of his arrest even sweeter, Silas is not an exciting enough character to have kept around for so long, and his storyline only drags the plot down. Malika has spent most of the season trying to help Isaac. But, her biggest moment of the episode comes when she tells Isaac that she refuses to enable him further and that he needs real help and support beyond what the Coterie can offer. It was a great moment for Malika, but unfortunately, it came so late in the season as a majority of her plot line had surrounded him. Otherwise, Good Trouble keeps Malika fairly stagnant professionally as well, as she is no further along this episode as she was the last time she interacted with politicians. Is Malika really willing to sell her soul to get the women's center built? It appears that Malika must be willing to remain silent in exchange for her project's success. But, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" never directly confronts Malika's feelings on the subject, only having her check to make sure that her women's center would be guaranteed. Granted, there is always the chance that this was a trick to cause trouble for the politican while Malika puts her own passion project on the line. Still, without that confirmation, it is another up in the air plot that does not tease what is to come in the series finale. Alice's personal growth takes another step forward when confronted with a new host of "Ferrets and Friends." Taking a leap of faith, Alice pitches herself to the other writers as the potential new host of the series. It is an important moment to see Alice stand up for herself and fellow writers when confronted with a person who enjoys trying to make unnecessary changes. For a while, it appeared that Good Trouble had chosen to move away from Gael's hatred of Yuri entirely. Having not even been referenced in several episodes, it seemed that Gael and the show itself had just ended the plot line and were moving on. But, when Gael discovers that Yuri had crafted a new series of paintings in Gael's style, and doing so would prevent Gael from gaining a commission, it triggers his hate for his previous mentor. Gael's interest in street art had been a major part of his storyline this season, but this time he uses anger rather than love as his catalyst. Not wanting to encourage Yuri to get away with stealing his art style anymore, Gael makes a grand artistic proclamation outside of Yuri's gallery. Davia's dreams for the stage have also crashed and burned as she has been replaced in a role that was created for her as the lead. The decision is somewhat realistic in the world of show business, but to put Davia in this position in the penultimate episode rather than just move ahead with the show did not seem necessary. Davia's relationship with Dennis, and Dennis himself, is not even a factor in this episode, as apparently, most of his main storyline running the restaurant is considered to be successful enough to not have a significant place in the episode. As for Luca, of course simply listening to Callie's advice not to tell anyone about his status would be too much to ask for. In an effort to be truthful with Riley about why Luca would not allow himself to be filmed dancing, Luca tells her the truth about him being undocumented. Luca's revelation comes after Riley had discovered that Luca had already told Ladle about him previously being unhoused and living in the Coterie before having told Riley the truth. After hearing the truth, and coming to the determination that Riley can not trust Luca after he keeps lying to her, Luca confronts Ladle about Riley's comments that Ladle had known about Luca's situation first. All in one conversation, Ladle admits to having feelings for Luca and knowingly manipulating and sabotaging Luca's relationship with Riley. Granted, Luca's confrontation of Ladle should not ignore that Luca's own lying is responsible for the destruction of Luca's relationship with Riley, not Ladle's comment, even though she did overstep. While "It's All Coming Back to Me Now," does prepare for the series finale in small moves, it saves its explosions for what is to come in the series finale.
"Older than history..." According to Professor M. E. Smith of Arizona State University, in his work, The Sage Encyclopedia of Urban Studies, “The demographic definition, based on Louis Wirth’s concepts, identifies cities as large, dense settlements with social heterogeneity.” The above definition gives us a lot of room to search for and investigate some of the oldest cities on the surface of the planet. Textbooks tell us that a city is usually described as an urban center where we find commerce and administrative levels ruled by a certain law system. But other factors play a role when defining a city, such as the population of the urban settlement and the number of buildings it has, the level of government present, and its walls or fortifications. So, what is the oldest city on Earth then? The answer is confusing when thinking about the oldest of them all. Damascus’s ancient city is widely recognized as the oldest continuously inhabited city on Earth, as scientists have found habitation evidence dating back as far as 11,000 years. Excavations at Tell Ramad on the city’s outskirts have revealed that the general area was inhabited as early as 9000 BC. Byblos. According to Philo of Byblos, this ancient city had a reputation as the “oldest city in the world” in Antiquity.” Settled from the Neolithic (carbon-dating tests have set the age of earliest settlement around 7000 BC), Byblos exists as a city since the 3rd millennium BC. On the other hand, Jericho is also recognized by various scholars as the oldest city of them all. Located in modern-day Palestine, we find traces of habitation from 9000 BC. Fortifications date to 6800 BC (or earlier), which means Jericho is also the earliest known walled city on Earth. Archaeological evidence indicates that the city was destroyed and abandoned several times (sometimes remaining uninhabited for hundreds of years at a time). Luxor (Thebes) in ancient Egypt rightfully takes part in the list of the oldest cities on Earth. First established as Upper Egypt’s capital, Thebes later became the nation’s religious capital until its decline in the Roman period. Thebes was inhabited from around 3200 BC. Another ancient city we must mention in this list is Aleppo, modern-day Siria. Evidence of habitation at Aleppo dates back about 8,000 years, but excavations at a site 15 miles north of the city show the area was inhabited about 13,000 years ago. It is worth mentioning that Aleppo appears in historical records as an important city much earlier than Damascus. The first record of Aleppo may from the third millennium BC if the identification of Aleppo as Armi. Eridu, which the Sumerian King List states as the oldest city on Earth, is one we can’t avoid mentioning. As noted by the Sumerian King List: “In Eridu, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years. Alalngar ruled for 36000 years. 2 kings; ruled for 64800 years. Then Eridu fell, and the kingship was taken to Bad-tibira.” Furthermore, according to the Sumerian King List, Eridu was the first city in the world. The opening line reads: “[nam]-lugal an-ta èd-dè-a-ba When kingship from heaven was lowered, the kingship was in Eridu Varanasi is an ancient city said to have been founded by an ancient Hindu deity. According to Hindu mythology, Varanasi was founded by Shiva. Excavations in 2014 led to the discovery of artifacts dating back to 800 BCE. Further excavations at Aktha and Ramnagar, two sites in the vicinity of the city, unearthed artifacts dating back to 1800 BCE, supporting the view that the area was inhabited by this time. Uruk competes in the list as the oldest cities in the world. It was founded in ancient times by a ruler named Enmekar. The city is also mentioned in the Sumerian King List. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh builds the city wall around Uruk and is the king of the city. Archeologists have discovered multiple cities of Uruk built atop each other in chronological order. Uruk XVIII Eridu period (c 5000BC); the founding of Uruk Uruk XVIII-XVI Late Ubaid period (4800–4200 BC) Uruk XVI-X Early Uruk period (4000–3800 BC) Uruk I-XVI Middle Uruk period (3800–3400 BC) Uruk V-IV Late Uruk period (3400–3100 BC); The earliest monumental temples of Eanna District are built Uruk III Jemdet Nasr period (3100–2900 BC); The 9 km city wall is built Faiyum, also known as Crocodilopolis, is a city worth mentioning in this list. The ancient city, home to the worship of the Crocodile God, was established southwest of Memphis. It was founded around 4,000BC. Sidon. Located in modern-day Lebanon, Sidon has been an urban center spanning back more than 6,000 years. It was considered the most important Phoenician city due to its location and acted as a crucial port in the Mediterranean. Rey, also known as Rhages, is an ancient city located in modern-day Iran. A settlement at the site was traced back to around 6,000 BCE as part of the Central Plateau Culture. The ancient city of Rey is mentioned in the Avesta (an important text of prayers in Zoroastrianism) as a sacred place, and it is also featured in the book of Tobit. Beirut, located in modern-day Lebanon, was found to have been inhabited for more than 5,000 years. The area around the city was found to have been inhabited for far longer. Several prehistoric archaeological sites have been discovered within Beirut’s urban area, revealing flint tools of sequential periods dating from the Middle Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic through the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Plovdiv. Located in modern-day Bulgaria, the history of Plovdiv spans more than eight millennia. Numerous nations have left their traces on the twelve-meter-thick cultural layers of the city. The earliest signs of habitation in Plovdiv’s territory date as far back as the 6th millennium BCE. Athens. The home of Philosophy and the birthplace of western civilization. According to scholars, the ancient city was inhabited for more than 7,000 years. It existed before the days of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Historical evidence has found evidence of the human presence in Athens between the 11th and 7th millennium B.C. Argos. Like Athens, evidence has been found that this ancient city existed as an urban center for more than 7,000 years. Argos competes together with Athens as the oldest city in Europe. Jerusalem (Old City). The birthplace of three major religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jerusalem is one of the many cities that came into existence between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago in the thriving Levant region. Luoyang, located in modern-day China, was erected more than 4,000 years ago, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in Asia. The ancient city of Luoyang was one of the Seven Great Ancient Capitals of ancient China. Annaba. This is perhaps one ancient city you’ve most likely never heard about. However, it has great historical importance. The area of Annaba has yielded evidence of very early human occupation at Ain el Hanech, near Saïda (circa 200,000 BC), including artifacts that show remarkable toolmaking craftsmanship. According to some sources, prehistoric Algeria was the site of the most advanced development of flake-tool techniques in the Middle Early Stone Age (Middle Paleolithic). The ancient city dates back to the 12th century BC when the Phoenicians inhabited it. The Ancient city of Cholula, home to the largest pyramid on Earth, the Great Pyramid of Cholula, is one of the oldest ancient cities on the American Continent. Traces of inhabitation can be found going back to the second century BC. It is the oldest still-inhabited city in the Americas. Erbil. The Citadel of Arbil is a fortified settlement in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan. The city corresponds to ancient Arbela. The settlement at Erbil can be dated back to possibly 5000 BC, but some scholars argue that urban life can be traced back to around 2300 BC.

In Mould Labelling or Decoration provides a diverse alternative to product marking and decoration. In Mould Labelling was first used in the 70s as an alternative to decals and labels. Negating the need for adhesives and the palpable gains in production efficiencies that were experienced by the early adopters of this process, resulted in wide spread use and development. Particularly in the areas of automotive and consumer products where backlighting of switchgear is achieved with plastic injection moulding. In Mould Labelling (IML). This is the most basic form of the process and is a technology used to decorate simple plastic products such as packaging containers. This process can be used to follow simple 3D profiles such as display lenses. The printed foil will deform and follow a cavity profile with careful mould tool design. The foil can either be placed on pins during the process cycle of the moulding process or simply be placed in a cavity using either an interference fit or by means of static charge. Film Insert Moulding (FIM). As above. In Mould Decoration (IMD). This more advanced process requires the printed foil to be formed by Hy.tech Forming Systems (Euro) Ltd using their AccuForm® high pressure forming process. The formed printed sheet is then trimmed to remove excess waste either by hand trimming or matched metal tooling. Some more advanced mould tooling can 'nip' the waste during the moulding process. The subsequent formed and trimmed part is then placed in the mould cavity during the mould process cycle. The results of this process can be seen in most automotive vehicles that have 'back-lit' switches on their interior controls. Production of the foil or insert can be printed using a range of methods. Predominantly the high volume packaging process is printed using an offset litho process and fed automatically during the mould cycle. The more technical projects use screen printing, where the characteristics of the foil or insert are a strategic element of the finished product. Digital printing can be used in some instances where a low volume / full colour finish is required. This process normally requires a supporting back flood of high temperature ink using a screen process to protect the digital ink from gate wash. Below is a graphic representation of the process :-Customark's process experience allows our Customers to benefit from just simple advice to project support, liaising with formers and moulders. Typically the process requires careful and experienced mould tool design considerations from the start.

Achieving NIST 800-171 compliance is necessary for companies that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on behalf of the US government. Compliance can provide a range of benefits including improved cybersecurity, customer trust, competitive advantage, and business operations. The framework is based on the principle of continuous monitoring and improvement, which requires organizations to continually assess and manage risks to CUI and to adapt their security controls to address emerging threats and vulnerabilities. Cyolo can help companies comply with NIST 800-171 by providing granular access control, multi-factor authentication (MFA), encryption, continuous monitoring, and compliance reporting capabilities. These solutions help companies to implement effective security controls to protect CUI and to demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations and standards. Cyolo deploys granular access controls to ensure that only authorized individuals can access CUI. The Cyolo solution provides dynamic, context-based access control policies that can adapt to changing circumstances, such as the user’s location, device type, and the sensitivity of the information being accessed.

The new generation smart is one thing above all: authentically electric. The brand returns to its origins with the systematic switch to emission-free, battery-electric powertrains. In combination with progressive design and intelligent connectivity, smart already offers a sustainable and comprehensive concept for urban mobility today. Rethink – “The car of the future must question existing notions and inspire with radical and ground-breaking technology ideas”, as Mercedes-Benz studio engineer and visionary Johann Tomforde put it in a nutshell back in 1972. Since then, Mercedes-Benz has worked on a concept of a purely urban vehicle whose powertrain needs to be not only electric, but also a solution for future urban mobility challenges. The smart with environment-friendly electric powertrain finally became a reality in 2007 with the concept of visionary Nicolas Hayek. Since then, smart has offered an all-electric option in every generation. With the new fortwo and forfour models, the time has finally come: smart is switching to emission-free, battery-electric powertrain technology across the board. “As a pioneer of urban mobility, it has always been part of smart’s credo to rethink things. The switching of the entire product range to all-electric powertrains marks the start of a new chapter in the story of the smart brand. In concert with innovative sharing concepts and digital services, we are the first manufacturer to switch completely and systematically from combustion engines to solely electric powertrains”, as Daniel Lescow, Head of Brand and Product Management smart, explains the motivation behind the dawn of a new era for the brand. A smart makes life in the city easier. With its radical concept and new ideas, smart has always offered the right solutions for urban daily life. At the same time, it is always easy to use and intuitive to understand. Trimmed down to the essentials, a smart gives you more time, more energy and, above all, more freedom. With the systematic switch to battery-electric powertrain technology, smart is now driving back to the future. The brand does not need to reinvent itself at all to do so, it merely has to rediscover itself. Because electric power was always meant to be at the heart of the smart. To express this, the designers drew inspiration from the iconic details of the first generations and interpreted them for the new era of electric mobility. As a result, an original becomes what it has always been: an electric original. “The new smart is radically simple. We orchestrated the typical smart identity with the new faces”, explains Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer Daimler AG. “In line with the smart DNA, we lower the grille and the headlamps above it and in this way create a sporty, progressive appearance.” Away from the playful in favour of the progressive: The new smart fortwo and forfour electric models now have different front ends for the first time. While the four-seater sports a dynamic “A-shape” open at the bottom with optional integrated fog lamps familiar from the Vision EQ fortwo show car, the fortwo keeps the familiar friendly face. With the return to the emblem-free “V-shape” grille in combination with the smart logotype above it, the brand is echoing the stylistic beginnings of the first models. The colour scheme is new for both models: For the first time, the front grilles of the fortwo and forfour are painted in the vehicle colour and no longer in a contrasting shade. The headlamps also ensure the new clarity in the structuring. With the systematic switch to battery-electric powertrains, there is also the option of bright and long-lasting Full-LEDs. smart now adopts the aspects of the forease and forease+ concept vehicles that excited people in its production models . Three large active LED elements provide not only a characteristic light graphic, but in addition to dipped beam and main beam also serve as direction indicators. In combination with the indicators, the new optional Full-LED headlamps also greet the driver with an impressive welcome show after unlocking the vehicle. The tail lamps on the updated smart models are another visual and technical highlight. Sporting the familiar rhombic basic geometry, hundreds of elaborately arranged LED lighting elements now form the lamp contours. Beneath the flat plastic cover, they provide not only a special depth effect, but also homogeneous illumination. This gives rise to an ever-changing light graphic, depending on the viewer’s distance from and angle to the vehicle. The remaining styling features stay typically smart. In concert with the wheels mounted flush in the wide wheel wells, its “one-and-a-half box” design with the extremely short overhangs at the front and rear still results in the characteristic powerful stance on the road. The sight lines and the record-breaking manoeuvrability continue to be strong arguments in favour of the mini-metropolist, of course. Its spaciousness likewise remains generous. The fortwo and forfour are still unrivalled when it comes to interior space in relation to exterior dimensions. No other car offers so much space on such a small area as the two new smart models. To enable even better use of the space, the designers devised an all-new centre console. In place of the hidden drawer at the side, there now is a large stowage compartment in front of the selector lever, which can be closed with a roller cover. Even the largest smartphones can now be stowed securely here. Alternatively, the new stowage compartment can also accommodate two coffee cups thanks to its removable dual cup holder. Refresh – Always up-to-date: the new infotainment concept Apart from the new centre console, the most striking innovation in the interior is the significantly expanded connect media system. The newly developed infotainment generation opens up a new dimension in flexibility and ease of use. The new UX concept means that, for the first time, smart purely relies on the seamless interaction with customer mobile phones and their computing power. By focusing on the essentials such as the eight-inch touch screen and high compatibility with various smartphone systems, customers receive not only a more affordable infotainment solution, but above all a solution that is intuitive for them to operate and upgradable. As soon as they switch to a new smartphone or a software update makes new apps available, they are immediately also introduced in the smart. With this customer-friendly concept, smart sets itself clearly apart from the competition and demonstrates that most often the simplest solutions deliver the greatest benefit. Remote – Infinitely digital. And vice-versa smart is not only becoming infinitely electric, but also infinitely digital. In order to offer customers the best possible service, smart has redesigned its entire digital offering. The new appearance is not only easier and more intuitive to operate, it is above all standardised. Websites and smartphone as well as wearable applications now have the same minimalist interface. The smart EQ control app brings electrifying mobility to drivers’ smartphones. It is the digital companion for smart drivers and enables them to retrieve the status of their vehicle remotely. As a result, they always know their vehicle’s range and the battery charge level, and can conveniently plan their daily trips. Pre-entry climate control, which allows heating or cooling the car conveniently via app, is another of the app’s important functions. Since their introduction last year, customers have been using the digital services every two days on average. The further advancement of the smart EQ control app is based on this group’s feedback, wishes and suggestions for improvement. As a result, the app gets a new face to tie in with the model facelift. The design now dovetails with the newly designed minimalist interface of the digital smart services. However, not only the interface of the app was optimised. The new version also improves the direct interaction with customers. Thanks to the newly created communication field, the communication overlay, messages can be sent to the smart driver quickly and directly. This makes it possible to inform customers about upcoming maintenance or the status of the app, for example. Another request by customers was faster access to the most important features of the app. With the integration into the smartphone widgets and an Apple Watch application, smart now gives users information even more directly. With a quick glance at the Apple Watch on their wrist, customers can now retrieve the current battery status, check the vehicle range or start pre-entry climate control. This makes the smart EQ control app and its functions even easier to access and creates a digital connection between the customer and their smart. “my smart”: keeping tabs on your smart As the central port of call, “my smart” forms the hub for all digital services related to the brand. Any time and anywhere. Customers can retrieve the location of their own smart in real time. “my smart” also enables remote access. This makes keyless locking and unlocking of the vehicle possible, for example. smart “ready to” services: pooling digital added value smart’s mobility offering has included customer-friendly services for six years now, making it a pioneer of comprehensive mobility services. smart “ready to” stands for innovative services which make life easier in the city. smart established the smart lab in 2016 as the brand’s think tank to accelerate the development and implementation of creative urban mobility projects. Further trailblazing services are under development at the smart lab. These will be made available successively to all smart drivers with the “ready to” package by means of over-the-air updates, without any need to visit a workshop. The services continue to be bundled in one mobile app and make smart a full-range mobility services provider. They make all aspects of motoring that much easier. Be it information on the car itself, recharging, parking, navigation, loading or even sharing with friends and neighbours – “ready to” has all these functions covered in a single mobile application. The all-new user interface makes using the services child’s play. The dashboard in modular design further enhances the user experience. The app even applies artificial intelligence to predict the user’s wishes according to the given situation. The developers at the smart lab are concerned not so much with creating a zeitgeist product, but rather with generating real added value. To this end, they are forging ahead with the ongoing development of smart “ready to” services. All services designed to make life in the city easier are bundled in a mobile application. Now for the first time, the services show users in the new “my smart” control centre not only status information when the vehicle is stationary, but also report charging stations ahead while driving when the battery has a low charge. “ready to share”. sharing the easy way Since 2016, smart “ready to share” has been making private car sharing as simple, safe and straightforward as using car2go. Authorised users can open friends’ smart models in a matter of seconds, using their smartphone. smart “ready to share” is smartphone-based and uses the vehicle’s keyless entry function. Three factors make smart “ready to share” unique: the safety and security of a solution provided by the manufacturer, complete control by the vehicle owner as the sole administrator and decision-maker, and simple and inexpensive handling. The payment function for “ready to share” helps smart owners who share their cars to split the costs, too. The smart owner can invite friends and acquaintances to use their vehicle in two user groups: users in the “Free travel” group get to drive the vehicle free of charge, while in the “Share travel costs” group the owner can set an individual price per minute. The payment data are stored to ensure problem-free payment. The payment function is initially available in Germany; the “ready to share” service is available in Germany, France, Spain and Italy. “ready to park”: More convenient parking by app The convenient online search function for parking spaces. With “ready to park”, a glance at your smartphone suffices to view the available parking options in your selected area in real time. In some instances, the located parking spaces can be reserved directly – for immediate use or up to 30 days in advance. “ready to spot”: back to your smart in next to no time The smart “ready to spot” service shows not only where the smart is parked, but also the best route to get there. The integrated “REACH NOW” app additionally enables various means of transport, such as local public transport or car sharing, to be compared and booked directly. Where necessary, the “ready to spot” app can also be used to briefly turn on the headlamps of the parked car to make it easier for the driver to find the vehicle. “ready to pack”: easy loading The “pactris” app has been helping smart drivers to load their car boot for two years now: “pactris” uses a sophisticated algorithm which tells the user whilst shopping whether and how everything will fit in the boot of the smart. The user scans the bar code on the product – for example in a furniture store – and the app, which is integrated into the “ready to pack” app, shows how the packages will fit in their smart. Alternatively, the user can select items from a constantly growing database where typical items are stored. This also shows whether, for example, a drinks crate or a packing case will still fit in the fortwo or forfour. The augmented reality function additionally enables scanning an object directly with the smartphone camera. “theft recovery”: The digital early warning system against theft Fast assistance when a smart goes missing. With “theft recovery”, users are informed by push notification as soon as their vehicle leaves an area they previously defined – the geofence. In the event of the vehicle leaving a pre-defined area, the user receives an automatic warning and step-by-step instructions on activating recovery mode. The app guides the user through the entire process, including notifying the police of the car theft with all the required information. Reinvent – Three clicks instead of a forty-five page price list The days when you laboriously read through the price lists are over. With the new-generation smart, the equipment level structure also becomes smarter. In addition to the base model, the three familiar equipment lines passion, pulse and prime are available. Each line can be combined with one of three equipment packages. The smallest package, “Advanced”, already includes the new media system with smartphone integration, a front armrest as well as an acoustic parking aid. Building on it, the “Premium” package additionally includes a panoramic roof or rather a draught stop on the fortwo cabrio, a reversing camera and a stowage net at the centre console. The top of the range is the “Exclusive” package, which in addition to the “Premium” equipment has Full-LED lights at the front and rear as well as a sensor package comprising rain and light sensor, fog lamps with cornering light function, ambient lighting in the interior and an automatically dimming inside rear-view mirror. Now all the customer has to do is pick a colour, and their new smart is complete. That choice is now even more difficult, however, because the new models are available in new, fresh colours. In the interior, there are new designs for the upholstery fabric. Regain – electrifying driving fun A short wheelbase and an immense track in combination with direct steering make the smart uniquely agile. The all-electric driving experience opens up a completely new dimension in driving enjoyment. With 160 Newton metres of torque available instantly, the new electric models accelerate far better than the 60 kW/82 hp of the separately excited synchronous motor in the rear might suggest. 4.8 seconds for 0 to 60 km/h when the light turns green makes the smart EQ fortwo coupé quick enough to draw astonished looks and provide low-noise driving enjoyment. The new smart models systematically continue to play to all the strengths of the battery-electric powertrain technology. Thanks to clever packaging and the return to the core of the brand, the concept remains light and resource-friendly, and offers sustainable mobility in metropolitan areas. That is why smart offers a deliberately compact high-voltage battery. The lithium-ion battery supplied by Daimler-owned Deutsche Accumotive consists of three HV modules and a total of 96 HV cells, and has a capacity of 17.6 kWh, sufficient for a range of 159 kilometres (NEDC). This corresponds not only to several times the average daily kilometres driven in Germany, but above all to a generous range in the metropolitan environment where energy can be recovered through recuperation. Radar-based recuperation in the city is a particularly convenient feature. It allows the smart to slow down automatically behind a vehicle ahead. Coasting and braking phases are perfectly coordinated to enable the maximum amount of kinetic energy to be returned to the battery. In order for the smart to keep a cool head even in extreme climatic conditions and under extreme stress, special attention was paid to the temperature management in the electric models. While generously sized air cooling is enough for the electric motor, its flange-mounted power electronics are liquid-cooled. Even the high-voltage battery can be completely conditioned. When needed, it is integrated into the cooling circuit of the powertrain to remain in the optimal temperature range under high permanent load or during fast charging, for example. The same is true when temperatures are extremely low. A battery heater enables warming up the battery for optimal performance and efficiency. Recharge – Quick and everywhere charger To make recharging as easy as possible for drivers, smart offers a comprehensive charging concept for its new electric models. With its 22 kW on-board charger with rapid-charging function, the new models are charged from 10% to 80% range in under 40 minutes and without having to rely on rare direct-current charging stations if three-phase charging is possible, depending on local conditions. Thanks to the cooperation with charging network partner Plugsurfing, customers can now use virtually all public charging stations. These charging stations can be displayed with the smart EQ control app, and users can sign up with Plugsurfing directly in the app.

I don’t have a title for this that works. It’s horrible, it’s difficult, and it’s because all of the titles sound so relentlessly negative that I honestly don’t want to use them. I promise this talk isn’t about being negative, it’s a talk about the work we have to do to be better as an industry. As someone that doesn’t believe in hills, or like walking up them, or death, or dying, this, I think, is probably the hill I’m going to die on. I want to talk about how open source has in the most cases, been turned into exploitation by the biggest organisations in the world. How it’s used to extricate free labour from you, and why this is fundamentally a bad thing. I’m going to talk about how we can do better. I’m going to talk about what needs to change to make software, and especially open-source software – something I love dearly – survive. Because right now, open-source is in the most precarious place it’s ever been in its entire existence, and I feel like hardly anyone is talking about it. The Discourse Is Dead Before I start with the gory details, I want to talk about loving things. More importantly, let’s talk about how it’s important to understand that you can be critical of something that you love because you want it to be better, not because you want to harm it. I’ve been building open-source software since the actual 1990s. When the internet was a village, and everything was tiny. When I was tiny. But it’s important to understand that on any journey of maturity, the techniques, opinions, and approaches that get you from A to B, are not necessarily the things that you’re going to need to get you from B to C. People frequently struggle with this fact. Humans are beautiful and oft simple creatures that presume because something has worked before, it’ll work again, regardless of the changing context around us. As technologists, and an industry, we’re going to have to embrace this if we want open source to survive. Open Source Won the Fight At this point we all know this to be true. You probably use Visual Studio Code at the very least as a text editor. As of 2018 40% of VMs on Azure were in Linux. Open source won the hearts and minds of people by telling them that software could and should be free. What does free really mean? While the GPL and its variants – were probably not the first permissive and free software licenses – they were the licenses that rapidly gained mindshare with the rising popularity of Linux in the late 90s. Linux, really, was the tip of the spear that pushed open-source software into the mainstream, and it’s GPL license was originally described by the Free Software Foundation as “free as in speech, not free as in beer”. A confounding statement that a lot of people struggled to understand. So what does the GPL really mean? In simple terms, if you use source code available under its license, you need to make your changes public for other people to use. This is because the FSF promoted “software freedoms” – literally, the right of software to be liberated, so that it’s users could modify, inspect, and make their own changes to it. A noble goal, which shows its lineage as the license used to build a Unix clone that was supposed to be freely available to all – a goal centred around people sharing source code at local computer clubs. It’s important to stress that “free” never meant “free from cost”. It always meant “free as in freedom” – and in fact, much of the original literature focuses on this by describing software that is “free from cost” as “gratis”. From the FSF FAQs: Does free software mean using the GPL? Not at all—there are many other free software licenses. We have an incomplete list. Any license that provides the user certain specific freedoms is a free software license. Why should I use the GNU GPL rather than other free software licenses? (#WhyUseGPL) Using the GNU GPL will require that all the released improved versions be free software. This means you can avoid the risk of having to compete with a proprietary modified version of your own work. However, in some special situations it can be better to use a more permissive license. But it wasn’t that version of free software that really won Despite Linux, and despite early and limited forays into open source by organisations like RedHat the strong copyleft licenses of the GPL were not the reason open-source software is thriving in the market today. They’re certainly not the reasons ultra-mega-corps like Microsoft, or Amazon, or Google now champion open source. The widespread adoption of open-source software in the enterprise is directly related to the MIT license, and the Apache – “permissive” licenses, which don’t force people that build on top of software to re-share their modifications back to the wider communities. Permissive licensing allows individuals or organisations to take your work, build on top of it, and even operate these modified copies of a work for profit. Much like the GPL, the aim of open source was not to restrict commercial exploitation, but to ensure the freedom of the software itself. Who benefits from permissive licensing? This is a trick question really – because in any situation where there is a power imbalance – let’s say, between the four or five largest organisations in the world, and, some person throwing some code on the internet, the organisation is always the entity that will benefit. Open-Source became popular in enterprise because of permissive licenses Without wanting to sound like a naysayer – because I assure you, I deeply love open-source, and software freedom, and the combinatorial value that adds to teaching, and our peers, and each other, I cannot say loud enough: Multi-national organisations do not give a single solitary fuck about you. Businesses do not care about you. But you know what they do care about? They care about free “value” that they are able to commercially exploit. The wide proliferation of software in businesses is a direct result of licenses like the Apache license, and the MIT license being leveraged into closed source, proprietary and for-profit work. Want to test the theory? Go into your office tomorrow and try adding some GPL’d code to your companies' applications and see how your line manager responds. Permissive licenses explicitly and without recourse shift the balance of power towards large technical organisations and away from individual authors and creators. They have the might to leverage code, they have the capability to build upon it, and they have the incentive and organisational structures to profit from doing so. Open-source software took hold in the enterprise because it allowed itself to be exploited. Oh come on, exploited? That’s a bit much isn’t it? Nope. It’s entirely accurate. exploitation (noun) · exploitations (plural noun) - the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work. "the exploitation of migrant workers" - the action of making use of and benefiting from resources. "the Bronze Age saw exploitation of gold deposits" - the fact of making use of a situation to gain unfair advantage for oneself. "they are shameless in their exploitation of the fear of death" Oh wow, that’s got such a negative slant though, surely that’s not fair? Surely people are smarter than the let their work just get leveraged like this? The internet runs on exploited and unpaid labour This is just the truth. It’s widely reported. The vast majority of open source projects aren’t funded. Even important ones. There is no art without patronage. None. The only successful open source projects in the world are either a) backed by enormous companies that use them for strategic marketing and product positioning advantage OR b) rely on the exploitation of free labour for the gain of organisations operating these products as services. I can see you frothing already – “but GitHub has a donations thing!”, “what about Patreon!”, “I donated once, look!”. And I see you undermine your own arguments. We’ve all watched people burn out. We’ve watched people trying to do dual-licensing get verbally assaulted by their own peers for not being “free enough for them”. We’ve watched people go to the effort of the legal legwork to sell support contracts and have single-digit instances of those contracts sold. We’ve seen packages with 20+ million downloads languish because nobody is willing to pay for the work. It’s a hellscape. It victimises creators. I would not wish a successful open-source project on anyone. Let’s ask reddit (Never ask reddit) I recently made the observation in a reddit thread that it’s utterly wild that I can stream myself reading an open-source codebase on YouTube and people will happily allow me to profit from it, but the open-source community has become so wrongheaded that the idea of charging for software is anathema to them. Let’s get some direct quotes: “Ahh, so you hate gcc and linux too, since they're developed by and for companies?” “Arguing against free software? What year is it?!” “If it’s free, why wouldn’t it be free to everyone? That includes organizations. I’m honestly not clear what you’re suggesting, specifically and logistically.” Obviously I was downvoted to oblivion because people seemed to interpret “perhaps multinational organisations should pay you for your work” as “I don’t think software freedom is good”. But I was more astonished by people suggesting that charging for software was somehow in contradiction with the “ethos” of open source, when all that position really shows is an astonishing lack of literacy of what open source really means. Lars Ulrich Was Right In 1999 Napster heralded the popularisation of peer-to-peer file sharing networks. And Metallica litigated and were absolutely vilified for doing so. The music business had become a corporate fat cat, nickel and diming everyone with exorbitant prices for CDs (£20+ for new releases!), bands were filthy rich and record executives more-so. And we all cried – “what do Metallica know about this! They’re rich already! We just want new music!”. I spent my mid-teens pirating music on Napster, and AudioGalaxy, and Limewire, and Kazaa, and Direct Connect, and and and and and and. And you know what? If anyone had spent time listening to what Lars Ulrich (Metallica’s drummer) was actually saying at the time, they’d realise he was absolutely, 100% correct, and in the two decades since has been thoroughly vindicated. I read an interview with him recently, where he looks back on it – and he’s reflective. What he actually said at the time was “We’re devaluing the work of musicians. It doesn’t affect me, but it will affect every band that comes after me. I’m already a multi-millionaire. File sharing devalues the work, and once it’s done, it can never be undone.” And he was right. After ~1999, the music industry was never the same. Small touring bands that would make comfortable livings scrape by in 2020. Niche and underground genres, while more vibrant than ever, absolutely cannot financially sustain themselves. It doesn’t scale. We devalued the work by giving it all away. And when you give it all away, the only people that profit are the large organisations that are in power. Spotify, today, occupies the space that music labels once did, a vastly profitable large organisations while artists figuratively starve. YOU ARE HERE I wish I had the fine wine and art collection of Ulrich, but forgive me for feeling a little bit like I’m standing here desperately hoping that people listen to this message. Because we are here, right now. I love open-source, just like Lars loved tape trading and underground scenes, but the ways in which we allow it to be weaponised is a violence. It doesn’t put humans, maintainers, creators and authors at its centre – instead, it puts organisational exploitation as the core goal. We all made a tragic mistake in thinking that the ownership model that was great for our local computing club could scale to plant-sized industry. How did we get here? Here’s the scariest part, really. We got here because this is what we wanted to do. I did this. You did this. We all made mistakes. I’ve spent the last decade advocating for the adoption of open-source in mid-to-large organisations. I, myself, sat and wrote policies suggesting that while we needed to adopt and contribute if we could (largely, organisations never do) to open-source for both strategic and marketing benefit, that we really should only look at permissive licensed software, because anything else would incur cost at best, and force us to give away our software at worst. And god, was I dead wrong. I should’ve spent that time advocating that we licensed dual-licensed software. That we bought support contracts. That we participated in copyleft software and gave back to the community. I was wrong, and I’m sorry, I let you all down. I’m not the only one Every time a small organisation or creator tries to license their software in a way that protects them from the exploitation of big business – like Elastic, or recently Apollo, or numerous others over the years – the community savages them, without realising that it’s the community savaging itself. We need to be better at supporting each other, at knowing whenever a creator cries burn-out, or that they can’t pay rent in kudos, or that they need to advertise for work in their NPM package, that they mean it. That it could easily be you in that position. We need new licenses, and a new culture, which prioritises the freedom of people from exploitation, over the freedom of software. I want you to get paid. I want you to have nice things. I want you to work sustainably. I want a world where it’s viable for smart people to build beautiful things and make a living because of it. If we must operate inside a late-stage-capitalistic hellhole, I want it to be on our terms. Can companies ever ethically interact with open-source? And here’s a little bit of light, before I talk about what we need to do the readdress this imbalance. There are companies that do good work in open-source, and fund it well. They all have reasons for doing so, and even some of the biggest players have reasonably ethical open-source products, but they always do it for marketing position, and for mindshare, and ultimately, to sell products and services and that’s ok. If we’re to interact with these organisations, there is nothing wrong with taking and using software they make available, for free, but remember that your patronage is always the product. Even the projects that you may perceive to be “independent”, like Linux, all have funding structures or staff provided from major organisations. The open-source software that you produce is not the same kind of open-source software that they do, and it’s foolish to perceive it to be the same thing. How can we change the status quo? We need both better approaches, and better systems, along with the cooperation of all the major vendors to really make a dent in this problem. It will not be easy. But there’s a role for all of us in this. This is the easiest, and the most free of all the ways we’ll solve this problem. The next time each of you is about to send a shitty tweet because Docker desktop made delaying updates a paid feature, perhaps, just for a second, wonder why they might be doing that. The next time you see a library you like adopting an “open-core” licensing model, where the value-added features, or the integrations are paid for features – consider paying for the features. Whenever a maintainer asks for support or contributions on something you use, contribute back. Don’t be entitled, don’t shout down your peers, don’t troll them for trying to make a living. If we all behaved like this, the software world would be a lot kinder. Rehabilitate package management I think it’s table stakes for the next iteration of package managers and component sharing platforms to support billing. I’d move to a platform that put creator sustainability at its heart at a moment’s notice. I have a theory that more organisations would pay for software if there were existing models that supported or allowed it. Most projects couldn’t issue an invoice, or pay taxes, or accept credit cards, if they tried. Our next-generation platforms need to support this for creator sustainability. We’re seeing the first steps towards these goals with GitHub sponsorships, and nascent projects like SDKBin – the “NuGet, but paid” distribution platform. Petition platform vendors A step up from that? I want to pay for libraries that I use in my Azure bill. In my AWS bill. In my GCP bill. While I’ve railed against large organisations leveraging open-source throughout, large organisations aren’t fundamentally bad, immoral, or evil, I just believe they operate in their best interest. The first platform that lets me sell software components can have their cut too. That’s fair. That’s help. I think this would unlock a whole category of software sales that just doesn’t exist trivially in the market today. Imagine if instead of trying to work through some asinine procurement process, you could just add NuGet, or NPM, or Cargo packages and it’ll be accounted for and charged appropriately by your cloud platform vendor over a private package feed. This is the best thing a vendor could do to support creators – they could create a real marketplace. One that’s sustainable for everyone inside of it. Keep fighting for free software For users! For teachers! For your friends! I feel like I need to double down on what I said at the start. I love open-source software dearly. I want it to survive. But we must understand that what got it to a place of success is something that is currently threatening its sustainable existence. Open-source doesn’t have to a proxy for the exploitation of the individual. It can be ethical. It can survive this. I do not want to take your source code away from you, I just desperately want to have enough people think critically about it, that when it’s your great new idea that you think you can do something meaningful with, that it’s you that can execute on and benefit from the idea. By all means give it away to your peers but spare no pity for large organisations that want to profit from your work at your expense. Support the scene In music, there’s the idea of supporting our scene, our heritage, the shared place where “the art” comes from. This is our culture. Pay your friends for their software and accept it gracefully if they want to give it you for free. Footnotes - see this live! An expanded version of this piece is available as a conference talk - if you would like me to come and talk to your user-group or conference about ethics and open-source, please get in touch.
Wähle eine der folgenden Kategorien, um die aktuellen GTA 5 PC Mods zu entdecken. @WisraelRX Hi, I followed the instruction! This isn't my first gun mod which replace either the Special rifle or Special Carbine I know that the directrory is the gunrunning dlc still the situation is the same. I even copied the orginal files from the update folder to make sure that there is no leftover files which would conflict with your mod. Still...nothing. Maybe its just my case but I'll looking foward if someone else has this same issue. I installed according to the instruction but the mod does not work. Even both the mesh and the textures are don't show up in game! :( Windows blocked the download due to virus hazard?! Anyone else has the same issue? Really atmospheric serpentine road driving I had. Amazing how nice and relaxing this thing looks. Although I have a problem. Namely when I try to enter left from the main road to the church area. The game simply crash and quit. No error message or whatsoever. :( I must say this is an amazing work! Hats down W! Awesome work mate! I'm a Toyota fan, but there are so many half baked mod out there. Yours certainly a well made stuff. Please let me know if you ever made a Toyota Hilux Invincible with lot of addons and TRD stuff.The only one is made by Dazu it's nice but didn't have any addons unfortunately! As a snorkel, hard top back compartment, and some extra off road lights would be nice to have! @Anker1991 No problem dude. I wish you nice GTA gaming! And although I enjoy military themed mods this game is much more relaxing if you just driving around in your favourite civilian car and having that 2010's Los Angeles experience. @dmebel05 @RunCS Thank you guys! Those honeycomb pattern walls looks super awesome. To bad that I'm not good at map building, I would make a dual green/gold colored pattern from those in some rooms. :D @Anker1991 Please stop this nonesense. Skyline is a modder and I think its safe to say he is politically neutral!!! If you would put your hatred aside for second you could see he most probably made this as an enemy vehicle for his Gepard AA for photoshots and roleplay in FiveM servers. But ARMA also has a more complex "Kamikaze" drone mod. But I haven't seen comment like yours there... But it's bit hypocrite that you have problem with Russians using drones, yet tainting the image of drones started so much earlier. Ever heard that Afghan and Pakistani people have serious PTSD's because of the many Predator and Reaper drones strikes in that region, which killed hundred if not thousand of civilians! But the recent use of makeshift FPV drones also has tragic effect on human lives on both Ukranian and Russian side, as people tend to forget that every coin has two sides! Nice I wish someone start porting this squad's stuff yet again as MP addons. The Holsters, boots, would be so awesome to see!

This morning I got up and mowed the lawn. It really needed it, and the push mower was having all it could do to make it through the damp morning dew-covered grass. But, the sun was shining, Five-Finger Death Punch and Iron Thrones were on the Sansa, and I plowed through it. And now I'm ready to take on the world. I told JoDee that I need to take this feeling and bottle it up for the next morning when I feel sluggish. She commented that it was endorphins giving my body the pep-talk, but it would be nice the next time that I don't feel like exercising to uncork that bottle, and give my tired, can't-exercise body a whiff of what it smells and feels like to have exercised and awoken with your body saying "c'mon, let's go!" What are some ways that you awaken yourself to exercising in the morning?

Narrowing down a place to build your home can be a more intricate process than many people expect. Choosing a state is one thing; whether you are moving for work or another reason, the state, and even the city, is often already determined. But then there is the variety of surrounding neighborhoods with their own community, vibe, and location. If you have narrowed your housing search to Mesa, Arizona, here is what you need to know about the city and its best neighborhoods. The third largest city in Arizona, Mesa combines a low profile with a large number of local attractions. It is the location of various fan-favorite sporting events and the home of a vibrant artistic community with many theaters and galleries. In addition, the city offers exciting outdoor adventures which attract out-of-town visitors. The nearby hills and mountains give residents the opportunity to explore various hiking and biking trails, providing a great experience and beautiful views.

In order for us to escape from depression we need to be aware of the process of how people change. That process for change is of the nature of a spiral instead of a straight line. In other words, now that we are willing to risk feeling differently we have been gearing up to improve our situation. In other words we are making a very important decision right now about our lives. As we illustrated yesterday there is a process of how a person chooses to change. First comes an Awareness stage. Then comes the Motivating stage. A Doing stage is then put into motion, and finally we have the Maintaining stage where a person continues to do all that is necessary to sustain and be responsible for positive changes. In the DEPRESSED ANONYMOUS WORKBOOK, it asks the participant to apply all of these four stages as antidotes to those character defects which may keep us imprisoned in our prison of depression. Today we want to examine the character defect of BLAMING. Now let’s put to use our formula of the four stages. Today, I am going to share just one of the four stages with the example of BLAMING. For me, being aware meant that not only was I aware of what I was doing to cause me to heap blame after blame on myself but much later I discovered through Step Four of Depressed Anonymous the many good things that I had going for myself. I learnt that working the Steps is a gradual process developed for changing myself. (1) AWARE. Now that I have admitted I am powerless over my depression and that it serves no purpose to blame myself for my depression and bashing myself with daily reminders of how bad and unacceptable I am. Now I am: (1) AWARE of my need to discover what there is about myself that I do find acceptable and wholesome? Tomorrow, we apply the Motivating stage to our BLAMING. Then this will be followed by a segment on the Doing stage. Finally, the Maintaining stage will be considered. I hope to meet with you again tomorrow. My thoughts: I share my own thoughts here. When my whole body became physically incapacitated and I could hardly get out of bed of a morning. My whole insides felt hollow and a strong, vague feeling that something was totally wrong inside of me. I felt full of “jitters” and anxiety. I was totally clueless as to what monster had me in its clutches. I had to admit that I needed help. I was powerless. I was not only AWARE I was scared. Know what I mean? If you do, please comment. So how do you change? Can you admit what is possibly keeping you depressed? Hugh
How To Choose A Las Vegas Acupuncture Clinic Read More: www.desertridgeacu.com When choosing a Las Vegas acupuncture clinic, patients should do some research both online and with their doctor in order to make a good choice that is appropriate for the comfort level and expectations of the patient. First and foremost, the acupuncture clinic that you choose should have a good reputation of achieving the expected results of the patients. It should be convenient to either your home or workplace, although driving distance and convenience should definitely not be the primary factor that influences your decision. As far more important these the technique of the acupuncture technician and the comfort level you feel as a patient in the facility. Acupuncture is a blend of eastern and western techniques and philosophies and is considered by many as alternative medicine. It has shown the ability to relieve stress as well as pain in patients that have not responded very favorably to traditional treatments. While the eastern philosophy of acupuncture takes into consideration and the balancing of life energy through the insertion of needles along specific flow pathways, the western version of acupuncture believes that the insertion of needles is stimulating nerves and muscles in order to release endorphins. The procedure itself these the same if not very similar, but the acupuncture clinic itself may lean towards a presentation that is more philosophical or medical depending on the philosophies of the practitioners themselves. It is important for patients to feel comfortable with the process of acupuncture, so it cannot be stressed enough to have an open dialogue with the acupuncture technician that you have chosen in order to ease any concerns you may have. One of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of acupuncture involves the needles themselves. Many people are afraid that there will be pain involved during the insertion for removal process, but this is usually a concern and that is relieved during the first session. Most patients report that they feel no discomfort during the process, and many will say they feel nothing at all. Another concern regarding the needles is how they are handled. The acupuncture needles are stainless steel and single use. They are disposed of in the biohazard waste container after they are used, and they are removed from the premises by a biohazard waste removal service. The needles that are used are sterile and present no threat of contamination for patients. Acupuncture may not be the only technique that is used in the clinic of your choice, and there are several other methods including acupressure, cupping and other manipulation techniques that may be part of your treatment. Each treatment is individual and designed for that specific patient to relieve the specific pains that are being experienced. Your initial treatment session can take upwards of 2 hours and follow-up sessions generally take about an hour. Any concerns should be discussed with your acupuncture technician during your consultation. If you would like to find out more about acupuncture and are in the Las Vegas area, contact our local acupuncture clinic today.
What to Look For in Workout Gear Fitness gear can make or break a workout gear \| RyderWear , from reducing muscle soreness to adding motivation. That’s why it’s important to choose clothing that will help you perform your best, without distracting you or causing discomfort. What to Look For Before choosing your workout clothes, take some time to figure out what kind of activity you’ll be performing. For example, a high-impact exercise like HIIT requires clothing that has built-in support to keep your muscles safe.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Workout Gear for Your Fitness Routine Working out can lead to sweaty palms, so it’s crucial that workout clothes are breathable and quick-drying. Try to find fabrics that wick away moisture, such as Dri-fit or Coolmax, so you’ll feel comfortable during your training session.

Whether they’re tight-fitting or soft-fitting, these compression pieces can help improve your performance and reduce muscle soreness. While workout clothing can be a bit pricey, it’s well worth the investment if you’re looking to maximize your performance. So, whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to the game, make sure to invest in good-quality activewear that will enhance your workout and boost your confidence at the same time.
The Detroit Lions visited the San Diego Chargers in week one of the 2015 season. The game started out with such hope and promise and ended in disappointment and doubt. The “Game Ball” is given to the Detroit Lions “most valuable player” in this week’s game. Week 1 Game Ball goes to: Ameer Abdullah Ameer Abdullah is as advertised. His first touch in the NFL will be one to remember. On a run that started right, he shifted gears and decisively cut it up the middle. Quickly finding space in the open field he was confronted by three-time pro bowl Safety Eric Weddle. Abdullah put a shake on Weddle that was so severe that Weddle was left grasping at nothing but air. One touch. One score. Abdullah would finish the game with 50 yards rushing (7.1 yards per attempt) and a touchdown, with four receptions for 44 yards. He also made us quickly forget about Jeremy Ross as he averaged 35 yards per kickoff return. The Lions second half struggles limited Abdullah’s opportunities and left him with only 11 touches on 21 offensive plays but he made the most of them. Other Detroit Lions players who were considered: Ezekiel Ansah tackled Melvin Gordon for a 2 yard loss on his first career carry. He went on to sack Phillip Rivers in the 2nd quarter, and overall was the most disruptive pass rusher the Lions had in the game. Glover Quin had an interception that he took for a touchdown in 2nd quarter. He continues to have a knack for being in right place right time. With seconds left at the end of the first half, Darius Slay made an interception in the end zone that at the time looked to be the most critical play of the day. Eric Ebron dropped his first opportunity for a catch but rebounded nicely catching the next four passes that came his way. His touchdown in the 2nd quarter showed his potential to be such a valuable mismatch in coverage. He finished his day with a stat line of 4 catches for 53 yards and a touchdown.

Industry insiders – interior designers to contractors to TV show presenters – came together at TF Cornerstone’s stunning 4540 Center Blvd. hi-rise in Long Island City to participate in Moves 2012 Design Challenge with publisher Moonah Ellison. The competition was close and the judging team of HGTV’s Brian Balthazar and Jason Sheftell of The New York Daily News, had a tough decision to make… these are their results. Andrew Suvalsky Designs A MANHATTAN style is like the cocktail: traditional and stylish with a quality that includes the color and ‘feel’ of one of the City’s mainstays. To be truly MANHATTAN, it must be comfortable and plush, “old-fashioned” in the sense that all the elements of design come together to make the perfect NYC pad. FOX 5 NEW YORK DIY’s Million Dollar Contractor A COSMOPOLITAN style room is like the drink: sophisticated and sexy with an individual splash of color and flavor, giving off positive vibes entrenched with modern touches. In order for a room to be truly COSMOPOLITAN, it must be current, trendy, and up-to-date with a style that screams ‘today.’ The heated competition was all in the name of charity – a donation valued at $5,000 for Housing Works, an organization aimed at ending the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy.
If you’re going to twang your nostalgia glands, you may as well go for the most famous game character of all. This cab gives you an authentic take on a 1980s classic, but at 25% of the original’s size. The iconic yellow cab’s design remains fully intact; and when you’re immersed in dot-munching, ghost-avoiding antics, your senses and fingers are catered for with a crisp 5in display, a surprisingly decent 3W speaker and a dinky, clicky, responsive four-way joystick. There’s also a teeny take on a coin mechanism at the front, and a nod to more modern tech round the back with a microUSB port for charging – or running the cab using mains power if you’ve waka-waka-waka’d all day and drained the battery. Is it any good? From the opening jingle to the game itself – which somehow stands the test of time – this unit is a delight. It hits a sweet spot in terms of size and playability, with the joystick being big enough for solid gaming sessions. Old hands will be delighted with the fine details such as the cabinet’s coin-slot door and the small but readable instructions surrounding the screen. That display nicely shows off all those retro visuals, but at a size that avoids the pixels feeling like daggers poking into your eyeballs. One gripe: the top light bleeds through the speaker grilles and can reflect off the screen. Otherwise, this is retro-gaming perfection. It’s limited to 10,000 units, though, so don’t dawdle. Pac light: This desktop cab not only has the original Pac-Man artwork, but also the cab’s unique shape. It really is the original in miniature. Pac to basics: As on the original, the joystick is locked to four compass directions, so you can’t speed around corners on diagonals. An addictively tasty mix of superb authentic design and a timeless game Authentic cab shape Big enough for comfortable play Still a great game Backlight sometimes reflects off screen
TL;DR: In my career, I’ve built a lot of custom apps for internal users. Most of these apps have similar repetitive components like data grids, user management, DB integrations, or API integrations. So I decided to build Appsmith, a frontend-as-a-service product that lets you build a custom web app for internal users very quickly. Sign up for the alpha release here: www.appsmith.com In 2018, I built a mobile game that went viral. The daily user count jumped from 1000 daily users to 100K daily users in three weeks. Everything was on fire! This growth increased customer support requests by 100x and I had to scramble to build internal apps that enabled the team to solve customer issues quickly. While building these apps, I wondered why it still wasn’t easy for a backend developer like me to build an app for internal users. Why is it that a marketing lead can spin up a website without knowing HTML, CSS or React, but backend developers like me need to learn React, Webpack, Flexbox just to spin up a simple app? Why should only full-stack devs have all the fun? Most of these apps have similar components such as data grids, charts, authentication, and user management. Shouldn’t it be easy to reuse components? I’ve seen, first hand, how the right tools make a disproportionate difference to a company’s success. But there are also many challenges developers face while building these internal apps and many things stand in the way of building what business users actually need. And that’s why I started Appsmith. We are making the process of building custom apps easy for developers by focusing on: No more CSS madness: Appsmith ships with UI components like data grid, charts, buttons, forms, maps, and many more, which can be configured without needing to deal with CSS. As a backend developer, I struggle with CSS. In the past, I used to default to using pre-built admin panels such as React Admin, Bootstrap Admin, etc. But, I got stuck the moment they needed to be customized (and they always needed to be customized). The ability to modify a pre-built panel easily is a super-power that’s built into the Appsmith platform. You can also add your Python/JS code to extend existing functionalities easily without mucking around with HTML/CSS. Self-Hosted: Appsmith is designed to be a self-hosted solution that you can easily deploy on a cloud instance inside your VPC/VPN. Internal applications often deal with sensitive information such as payment information, and user data. Keep your data secure and never have to expose your databases or private APIs to a whitelisted IP in the cloud. Embeddable UI: Mature teams already have lots of legacy applications powering their business. As engineers, we all abhor the dreaded re-write. Applications built on Appsmith are designed to be embeddable into existing custom apps. You can build an entire application, only a page or even just an embeddable widget. This means that you can start leveraging Appsmith immediately in your current product. Collaboration with business/ops folks: Every internal app would be better if engineers could collaborate with business users during the development process. A lot of communication happens around internal apps. Business users are constantly reaching out to developers about bugs, change requests, “how do I do this?” queries, service escalations and more. All of this happens today over email and Slack with a plethora of back and forth involving screenshots and video recordings. When products like Google Docs, or Figma let you comment inline with all the context, why shouldn't you be able to do this in your custom applications? Appsmith brings the conversation inside internal apps so that communication can happen with context. Pre-built authentication and authorization flows: These flows are the bedrock of all applications. As engineers, we keep writing them from scratch for every project. In an effort to DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), we've built authentication and authorization workflows into the product. Appsmith ships with granular access permissions that can be assigned to any user. You can also configure user sign up and approval workflows without any hassles. Once these workflows are set up, as a developer, get out of the way and let the business managers handle this process. Performance: Internal applications can be notoriously slow or hog too much RAM/CPU. I've often been a victim of pages loading slowly and each button click taking an eternity to complete. Appsmith is built for performance. Like a CDN, you can cache the results of your DB queries and backend API calls and create blazing fast apps without increasing the load on your systems. Integrations done right: Appsmith has integrated with multiple databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis (coming soon) to allow applications to communicate directly with them. Additionally, every new DB will be supported quickly. Hence, all integrations are designed as plugins that you can write independently as well. Just implement a class, upload it to your Appsmith account and start using it. Out-of-the-box integrations with hundreds of SaaS products are also available. You no longer have to hunt for API documentation or integrate manually. DRY all the way. Appsmith has been built with empathy, not just ❤️. After building in silence for nearly seven months, today the private alpha is open to developers. If you’d like to get a sneak peek into what’s getting built, sign up here: appsmith.com. I would love to hear your thoughts, comments, and feedback. As Frasier would say “I’m listening”. For a live demo, schedule a call with me on https://calendly.com/arpit-appsmith/30min

Lecturers are utilizing technology to make instructional data accessible to all college students and so they also use it to trace student’s efficiency. As an alternative, they will take a look at updating lesson buildings to totally utilize any accessible know-how, resource sharing among college students, and re-considering their academic areas within their budgets. Stuffing colleges with high tech instruments isn’t the reply to offering dynamic learning experiences,” stated Danish Kurani and Zoe Balaconis in an article for EdSurge , an internet site about the intersection between technology and schooling. Whether or not it’s creating a loop or an if/then statement, these new strategies of incorporating enjoyable into know-how permit women to be enthusiastic and artistic whereas studying new technical ideas. It helps the scholars to organize and possess the great education knowledge for all the educational yr.

Whether you are looking for a new position in tech or not, it’s essential to consistently build your network. I’m talking about building your network before you need it and regularly staying in contact with the connections you make. Branching out and networking may feel nerve-wracking, especially if you’re an introvert like me. And it’s true – real growth can be uncomfortable. And it’s most likely going to involve stepping out of your comfort zone. But you can absolutely do it! Now, if you’re already in a good position in your field, you may be thinking – what’s the point? I like where I am – why should I still build my network and make connections? Branch Out and Stay Connected Throughout my career, I’ve made sure to stay connected and branch out continuously. I am always staying in touch with my contacts and keeping up-to-date with the market. Working this way keeps you open to unique opportunities that you find organically. It also gives you a solid foundation to fall back on when things out of your control happen. You never know what life will throw at you, and one of the keys to achieving long-term success in tech is to always be prepared. Networking was not easy for me in the beginning. As an introvert, I’m naturally shy, and going home and sitting on the couch sounds much more appealing than going to a breakfast, meet-up, or a day-long conference. In fact, some days, I really didn’t want to show up at all. So I decided to make a deal with myself, and it became one of the most important deals I’ve made in my career. I decided to make networking micro-commitments. These are the three small commitments that I make with myself before an event – and I want to share them so you can do the same. 1. I will show up. 2. I will meet three people, and then I can high-tail it out of there. 3. I will show up just one more time. Because of these micro-commitments, I not only have a strong network within my company and a strong network in my hometown of Dallas, but I have a strong global network. Building that big of a network took time, dedication, and consistency. And the more I did it, the more networking became second nature! I meet people everywhere – at the grocery store, on an airplane, you name it. I am constantly meeting new and interesting people. Some of the best connections you will make will happen when you least expect it. Talk to Recruiters For example, when you’re at an event or conference, branch out beyond other techies. I’m talking about making it a point to connect with recruiters, sales, marketing, hiring managers, and business folks because these are the people who know companies and who have the connections. Like many women in tech, you may tend to avoid recruiters. But this is actually a huge mistake. Some of my best contacts are recruiters! Besides their vast knowledge of the key leaders in the industry, they frequently move companies. So, for instance, if you meet a recruiter who is not in a company that is of interest to you now, they may be in the future. They also will be more than happy to talk to you – they are professional networkers! And guess what? The same goes for people in sales and marketing – they are some of my best connections. Find someone in sales and marketing at an event because they are more likely extremely extroverted and will actually enjoy making a connection! Prioritize Your Time & Leverage Your Network Now, if there’s one thing we all need more of – it’s time. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day. And yet here I am telling you that consistently networking is key to building a well-rounded career. When I tell women in tech they need to ensure that creating and maintaining connections is front and center of their daily work life – I watch their faces drop. How can anyone manage to do this while maintaining all of life’s other commitments? Well, this is where leveraging your network comes into play. As my network grew, I made sure that it worked for me. Keep in mind that a good network should make your life easier, not harder. At first, the more my network grew, the more people were leaning on me and calling with questions. However, on the flip side, when I needed help with a technology I wasn’t familiar with or was curious about what skills were becoming valuable in my industry, I picked up the phone and found the right people in my network who could help. Instead of spending ten hours researching something, I call an expert in my network and say, “Hey, help me with this.” Having a strong network also shortens the time looking for your next role and brings in more opportunities. It gives you a foot in the door, and activating it has a return on investment when time is money in finding that next role. I put the power of networking to work for myself so that I actually wind up accomplishing more in less time. Remember that having a strong network should work to your advantage. A great way to start?
