10 Years At Burns Sheehan: Luke Pentney
A massive congratulations to Director, Luke Pentney, who celebrated 10 incredible years with Burns Sheehan last month!
After joining the company back in 2010 as a Delivery Consultant, Luke quickly gained the trust of Baz, Burnsie and the team through his honesty and ability to build great relationships. Fast forward 10 years and Luke now sits on the SMT as one of our Directors and heads up our hugely succesful DevOps team.
He is a huge individual and role model in the company, always getting the best out of his team and showing the value of trust and transparency in this industry. And whether it be by playing an Eagles tune on the guitar, quoting David Brent or complaining about feeling unwell, he's always a welcome source of entertainment around the office.
We sat down with LP to hear about some of his highlights from the last decade, and to find out the secret to his success over the years.
How would you describe the last 10 years at Burns Sheehan?
Definitely life changing. I've had three kids and got married since I've been here, and will shortly be moving into a new home that I never imagined I'd be able to live in. I came in as a Delivery Consultant ten years ago and moving up to Director was really a big moment for me, mainly because it meant that I'd got the recognition and reward from the Co-Founders and the MD, which is important to me.
What drew you into recruitment?
I actually went to Uni to study Media and got a 1st (I wanted to be a Sound Engineer on a film/TV set!) but then I realised that I'd have to be away for long periods of time and the money wasn't particularly good, so I went travelling to Canada/USA for 6 months. When I got back Chris, (Chris Spranklen, our MD) actually got me into recruitment and we both worked at Abraxas (now Randstad). He thought I'd be a good fit as I'm a good people person and have a likeable personality, which is key in this industry as it's all about relationship building. I'm quite honest and trustworthy which is a big thing. It is a sales job but it's more than that, it's a service job, so yeah Chris got me in!
What are some highlights from over the years?
It feels good to bring in business from strong relationships that I've built up or off the back of good work that I've done. Back in the day I brought in an account or two and then in my third year I was given some big company accounts, like Rightmove, which showed that the guys had trust in me not only to deliver candidates but also to deal with clients. It's been great to see the company grow; I think when I joined there were only 8 of us, maybe a few more, but we've since moved offices and quadrupled in size. It's nice to have been here from so early on and to see where we've got to now and how we've coped with situations like Covid-19. This pandemic is definitely the biggest challenge I've been through at work and personally. It's been tough but we've adapted really well, and it's been great to be part of the SMT during this time and seeing how we've all pulled together. I think we're doing great; things are picking up and we will come out of this much stronger.
What about some of the challenges?
It's been no bed of roses! The ten years haven't been a complete breeze; I've had some tougher years than others. For my first couple years, I didn't hit target, I probably only really hit half of my target. I perhaps wasn't trying as hard as I should have and maybe my head wasn't fully in the game; I might have had some clinging idea that I'd go back and work in the industry I studied for. I then began to realise that recruitment is a great career and that there's potential to make a lot of money. The sooner you realise that the sooner you will do well. It sounds cliché but you get out what you put in and I like that we do things the right way at Burns Sheehan.
Dealing with personal life and juggling the kids and work whilst trying to put as much effort into it as you can is difficult, especially when the children were younger. Because of the nature of the job, it's difficult to switch off, but you do need to get the balance right and have some time to yourself. Baz & Burnsie are very understanding as they both have kids, but I did have a dip where I didn't do very well at all for a year or two. I had some difficult conversations with them and had to prove myself, so I upped my game and listened and learnt from others in the office. I've learnt a lot from them all – Chris, Baz, Burnsie & Mat Lilley in particular.
What do you think is the best thing about working in technical recruitment specifically?
It's the strongest industry at the moment and it's not going to go away, it's only going to grow as technology becomes more advanced. That's what I like about it. The clients we work with and what they do is really interesting. I'm actually trying to get my kids to code so they end up in tech somehow. My 8 year old has been learning to code with Scratch.
What would you say is the most difficult part of your job and your favourite part?
The most difficult part is doing so many things at once and making sure that everything you do is done well. Managing teams, accounts, maintaining relationships that you've had for years and years with clients and candidates, plus creating new ones are just a few of the daily challenges. Then there's also the task of trying to continuously source people as well as the admin, there's a lot to juggle if you want to do the job right so you really have to be organised.
I love the people aspect. I have clients that I can call mates now because they trust me and vice versa. And again, it sounds cliché, but every day is different. You're talking to different people, working different jobs and organising different events, so it keeps it all quite fresh.
When you're dealing with different people every day, both senior and more junior, I've found that you need to learn how to be a chameleon. If you can't be a chameleon and change your persona a bit and gear that to who you're speaking to, then you aren't going to relate to as many people and won't build a rapport as much as you would.
You've had a very successful career at Burns Sheehan over the years, what do you think is the secret to your success?
Be honest and treat people right. I'm sure there are one or two people that have slipped through the net and I haven't gone back to when I should've done, but I always try my best to keep in touch with people, give them feedback, be honest with them and be accountable in this industry. Even if its going to look bad on you, people always appreciate honesty.
In one of my previous jobs there was someone who trained all the newbies and one thing she always said was – do what you say you're going to do, and she had some crazy abbreviation for it which was dwysygd and I always remember that. If you say you're gonna do something, make sure you do it. Because if you don't people will think ah, I don't trust that guy, he didn't keep his word.
Biggest lessons you've taken from the last 10 years?
Stay loyal and honest. Treat people how you would want to be treated and always do what you say you're going to do. Try to always do your work to the best of your ability.
Listen and learn from people around you. I'm still learning today. I do sometimes think how the hell have I got here, and do often pinch myself, but maybe that's helped contribute to my success. I'll always say to people, never ever think that you've made it, because you'll take your foot off the gas. You're always going to want to push yourself and there will always be something to motivate you. I think my personal life outside work has always driven me to do well inside of work. To look after my wife and kids and make the best life for them. To be able to take them on nice holidays and spoil them at Christmas and birthdays is important to me.

Your letters for Monday March 7: A new portrait gallery
Ottawa Citizen Editorial Board
Mar 07, 2016 • Last Updated March 7, 2016 • 2 minute read
Paintings for Canada's Portrait Gallery are stored in one of many vaults in the National Archives Gatineau Preservation Centre. Photo by Darren Calabrese /Postmedia
Build a National Indigenous Museum
Re: The Faces of Our Past, March 2
Notwithstanding recent efforts to reinvigorate the notion of a national portrait gallery, what the National Capital Region truly requires, and something for which a clear national and international mandate already exists, is an independent National Indigenous Museum.
This would enable Canada to meet at least some of its obligations for the revitalization of Indigenous cultures, heritage and languages under both the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It would also provide a unique, Indigenous-themed legacy project and reconciliation initiative to carry forward from the upcoming Canada 150 commemorations in year 2017, within which observances critical Indigenous views and perspectives are likely to be downplayed, if not overlooked.
Finally, such an undertaking would be a fitting tribute to the groundbreaking and highly innovative Indians of Canada Pavilion featured at Montreal's Expo 67 during Canada's centennial year celebrations.
John Moses, Delaware & Upper Mohawk bands, Six Nations of the Grand River
New portrait gallery a great idea
What a positive idea and one I hope receives full parliamentary support. Possibly this long-overdue permanent presentation in our nation's capital could be further expanded during 2017 through satellite exhibits in space to be designated in one city in each of our provinces and territories. The opportunity for corporate support should be encouraged.
What a great way for all of Canada to help recognize and share in our 150th birthday year.
Cliff Board, Stittsville
Much better than 'Mother Canada' statue
Re: Momentum building for downtown portrait gallery in former U.S. embassy, Feb. 26.
I was pleased to read Elizabeth Payne's article on the renewed possibility of a national portrait gallery. Anyone who has had the opportunity to view a sampling of the portraits at the Gatineau Library and Archives recognizes the value of the collection. As a retired teacher, I think these portraits are also a wonderful opportunity to introduce young people to Canadian art and history.
Many of us think the idea of a National Portrait Gallery is money well spent, particularly relative to the earlier idea of a "Mother Canada" statue taking up space on Cape Breton Island. This article gives one hope. l

Sacha Trudeau did nothing wrong
Re: Letter by PM's brother on behalf of accused terrorist awkward but doesn't break rules, March 3.
What a scandal that has been unearthed by writer Richard Warnica and is now being pounced on by Conservative Public Safety critic Erin O'Toole! And it's getting front-page coverage in the Ottawa Citizen. How dare Alexandre Trudeau have the temerity to write to a Cabinet minister "urging him to halt the deportation of Algerian-born Ottawa resident Mohamed Harkat." Not only that, but Mr. Trudeau is known to be friends with high-ranking Liberals Dominic LeBlanc and Mélanie Joly.
I fail to see why he is being chastised for doing what any other Canadian citizen has the privilege of doing at any time.
Clayton Porteous, Gatineau
The Trudeaus and terrorism
Justin Trudeau wants terrorists to keep Canadian citizenship. Justin's brother, Alexandre, wants to free a man who was accused of terrorism. It sounds like a new wacky situation comedy: "Al-qaida in the family."

What Time Is It In Hawaii Right Now Maui
What Time Is It In Hawaii Right Now Maui - If you visit our office, please note that closure is necessary for the safety of our staff and yourself. If you are not wearing a face covering when you enter our office, you will be asked to leave. Please make an appointment with your agent before visiting us.
What is the time zone difference in Hawaii? The answer depends on where you are now. Hawaii is anywhere from 2 to 5 or 3 to 6 hours behind the rest of the US mainland, depending on whether it's Daylight Savings. Hawaii is one of the few states in the United States that does not observe daylight saving time. Most of Arizona and parts of Indiana also do not observe daylight savings time. Daylight Savings now starts on March 13 and ends on November 6 every year.
Hawaii Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is 3 hours behind western states like California, Oregon, Washington and Nevada. So if it's 8:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, don't call your friend in Hawaii. That's because it's 5 a.m. in Hawaii and he's probably still sleeping. But when it's Pacific Standard Time, the difference is only 2 hours.
The 3 Best Places To Eat Outside In Hawai'i Kai
During daylight savings time, Hawaii Standard Time (HST) is 4 hours after Mountain Time, 5 hours after Central Time, and 6 hours after Eastern Time. In standard time, the difference in previous time zones is less than 1 hour each.
Some websites say that Hawaii has its own time zone. At least from what we've seen, that may not be true at all. For some odd reason, Hawaii is in the Hawaii-Aleutian time zone. This means that a small part of Alaska shares the same time zone as Hawaii. But since Alaska observes daylight savings, and Hawaii does not, Hawaii must have its own time zone during this time.
From Asia, the time difference is greater because it is one day ahead of Hawaii and the rest of the United States. Hawaii is 19 hours behind Japan and Korea. Hawaii is 18 hours behind China.
The travel time difference to Hawaii from the US mainland has several advantages. For example, if you take a 5-hour flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu and depart at 8:00 am PDT, you will arrive in Honolulu at 11:00 am, HST. So you gain 3 hours flying to Hawaii and you land in Honolulu just in time for a good Hawaiian lunch.
Best Hawaiian Island To Visit
In addition to cheap Hawaii flights and cheap Hawaii vacation packages to Honolulu, Maui, Kona and Kauai, as well as direct flights to Hawaii, Panda Travel ® has it all and is on Hawaii's largest and best-known airline. To travel to the country during the coronavirus pandemic, some are still not listening.
Not including inter-island tourists, more than 160 visitors came to the islands on Wednesday, the Hawaii Convention and Tourism Bureau said.
That number is a big drop from the roughly 30,000 visitors Hawaii usually gets per day this time of year However, this is the highest number since mandatory quarantine came into effect, the bureau said.
Hawaii Governor David Ige imposed a mandatory two-week self-quarantine on April 1 for out-of-state visitors and inter-island travelers. Anyone found guilty of violating the mandatory quarantine could be fined up to $5,000 or jailed for one year.
The Best Time To Visit Hawaii This Year
Earlier this week, John Monahan, president of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau, sent a letter to several publications asking them not to promote travel to Hawaii.
Monahan wrote in his letter, "It is our responsibility to ensure the safety of visitors and residents, and therefore we ask that tourists be encouraged to travel to Hawaii until further notice from state officials in writing about Hawaii."
The bureau hopes to reduce travel to the country to keep its healthcare system unburdened due to the islands' isolated nature.
"Our worst fear is that this unprecedented pandemic will overwhelm our health care system for locals and visitors alike," Monahan wrote. "We eagerly await the time when we can welcome you back to our shores and look forward to connecting with you thereafter".

If you're planning a trip to Hawaii, here's what you should know and expect about COVID-19 if you plan to travel.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has lifted the requirement that travelers test negative for Covid-19 before entering the US.
Hawaii's entry policy for international travelers is consistent with the federal rules for air travelers that went into effect November 8, 2021, which require international arrivals 18 years of age or older who are non-citizens or non-lawful permanent residents to be fully vaccinated.

Spectacular surfing, sandy beaches, traditional Pacific culture and rugged volcanoes await Hawaii visitors. Hawaii's geographic location and proud history make it different from anywhere else in the United States.
From November 8, with limited exceptions, unvaccinated travelers from abroad will no longer be allowed. Children 17 years of age and younger are not vaccinated among these exceptions
Hawaii dropped its statewide mask mandate for indoor settings at the end of March. That order ended on the same day Hawaii's Safe Travel Program expired.

All restrictions on inter-county travel have been lifted, meaning no pre-travel screening or quarantine is required for travel between the Hawaiian Islands.
With about 343,00 cases and about 1,680 deaths reported as of September 21, Hawaii has seen a relatively low number of Covid cases per capita compared to other US states. It maintains some of the strictest travel restrictions of any country during the pandemic.
A statewide ban on social gatherings, restaurants, bars, gyms and other social establishments was lifted in December. All restrictions imposed by the district have been lifted.
On the island of Oahu, the Safe Access Oahu program, which required proof of vaccination or a negative test to enter businesses such as restaurants, bars and gyms, ended March 5.

Namely April and May in spring and September and October in autumn. In summer, early June is best, and in winter we recommend January, especially if you want to see humpback whales.
Below we discuss each island's conditions, general weather expectations, expected visitor demand, visitor trends and more.
In the end, in our honest opinion - there is never a bad time to go to Hawaii. Visiting Hawaii is a dream come true for many visitors, and who can blame them? The weather is amazing almost year-round, there's something for everyone and the food is amazing (try the laulau and malasadas, trust us!).
As we mentioned above, the pandemic has significantly improved the tourism industry and changed our forecast for the past three+ years. Earlier this year in March 2022, the 'Safe Travel' programme, ended for all tourists; Hawaii travel ban two years!

In fact, historical trends are unlikely to be as persuasive in the near future as they were before the pandemic.
Recent price increases will affect costs associated with flight costs, rental vehicles (Touro or Standard Rental Agency), and housing costs due to increased local electricity costs (Hawaii still produces a significant amount of petroleum fuel). .
For what it's worth, we recently spent a month on the Big Island and we've never seen it so busy with visitors, even in the normal 'off-season'. Despite the pandemic's many challenges, Hawaii appears to be on track for record visitor arrivals in the coming years.
To help visitors see peak and low demand times in Hawaii, we've created the 2022 Hawaii demand forecast below. We will also discuss specifically about visits in each month of the year in more detail below. Now you can view our 2023 Hawaii Demand Forecast to get an idea of what we expect during high/low visitation periods next year.

Mahindra eKUV100 To Be Showcased At Auto Expo 2020
Mahindra eKUV100 is expected to be priced under 9 lakh. It will be displayed at the upcoming 2020 Auto Expo.
Mahindra eKUV100 is slated to launch this year at the Auto Expo 2020. Ahead of its official launch, the electric SUV is confirmed to be priced around Rs 9 lakh.Besides revealing the price details of the eKUV100, Pawan Goenka, Managing Director, Mahindra Group also shares the company's ambition and plan in the electric vehicle market, saying, "Electric mobility is now the future. We are looking at various options and shared mobility is a priority for us over a personal one."
Mahindra eKUV100 will be launched at 2020 Auto Expo
In other words, the homegrown car manufacturer will focus more in the commercial cars segment than the private vehicles space. As per the statement, the director also underlined how important the pricing and acclaimed that with the eKUV, Mahindra will "break the price barrier with a sub-9-lakh SUV." This affordable pricing is expected to bring the eKUV an advantage over other competitors in the fledging EV market.
This is not the first time Mahindra eKUV shows up at an Auto Expo. In fact, at the last Auto Expo which was held in 2018, Mahindra eKUV had made its debut under the near-production form. It takes Mahindra two years to finalize and ready this electric SUV to go on sale in the market. The delaying was caused by the market downturn last year.
Mahindra eKUV100 is powered a 30 kW electric motor along with a Lithium-ion battery pack. This battery pack features 140 km per charge. It comes with both AC fast charger and DC charger. With the DC charger, Mahindra eKUV will be charged up to 80 per cent in less than 60 minutes.
Mahindra eKUV100 has a range of 140 km per charge
Apart from the eKUV100, Mahindra is working on several new electric vehicles including the XUV300 Electric. According to Goenka, after the eKUV100, the company will work on the electric version of the XUV300. This electric vehicle will focus on personal mobility space. He also claimed that the new electric SUV will deliver a decent range which is on par with other electric models in the market. With the XUV300 EV, Mahindra targets to bring a high range of around 300-400 km.
After its launch at the 2020 Auto Expo, the Mahindra eKUV100 is likely to go on sales in April this year. At this price range, the Mahindra eKUV100 will find itself a unique position in the market with no direct rivals. Get the latest news at IndianAuto.com.

Lousy TV.
Sorry to be that way but I'm really not impressed with much on TV of late.
Scandal sucks. Olivia?
I'm Team Fitz.
I don't need her little tantrums and attacks on Fitz.
She is so far astray from why we liked the character at the beginning.
I've lost all interest in her.
And no one else on the show really pulls you in these days.
How To Get Away With Murder has been good, that's about it.
I wish ABC hadn't axed Revenge. I really think the answers was for Amanda to find out Victoria (or someone) was in cahoots with a hidden figure.
That would have allowed them to start it over. Amanda goes off and Nolan goes with her and then we have a new cast.
Victoria had to die. There was nothing else for her.
But they could have made the show work.
And should have.
They've got nothing on Sundays that draws the way Revenge used to.

Patty cock burn and he don't care, Patty cock burn and he don't care . . .
Yes, we're back to the always deceptive Patrick Cockburn who has utilized the Iraq War to fulfill his sexual fantasies of serving Iran.
He's back again.
With another ridiculous piece.
This one claims that the greatest threat to peace in Iraq is . . . Donald Trump's picking a fight with Iran.
We don't buy into every rumor about the government of Iran here. We don't claim that Iran and Iraq should not have good relations.
But we also don't act as a love slave for Tehran.
Not because Tehran doesn't have nice qualities -- I'm sure they must have some -- but because adults should act a little more mature -- at the very least they should do so when in public.
Patrick Cockburn is the perv on Craig's List posting in the personals with his real name.
THE INDEPENDENT, his paper, is not.
It did not lead in coverage about the lies of the Iraq War -- before it started or since. It did not hold Labour accountable. Hell, it didn't even cover the Downing Street Memos.
For reasons known only to the increasingly pathetic family of Cockburns, Patrick's bound and determined to bring Donald Trump down. (I'm sure Donald's more than capable of doing that himself without Patrick's help.) So he's looking increasingly unhinged -- like his late brother Alexander when Alex would start talking about how global warming didn't exist and it was all a conspiracy and . . .
Patty emotes as only a drama queen like him can: "Fake facts!"
That's the opening statement of his so-called report.
He paints Kurds in a bad light.
He repeats the charges against them -- Hoshyar Zebari, specifically -- but doesn't get a response from them.
He also repeats a claim that Hoshyar lied in a Tweet about a photo.
Did he lie?
Patty, if you can stop applying your make up -- your next performance isn't for hours -- here's what you do. You open up Google Chrome. You got to Hoshar's Tweet. You right click on the photo and choose the search option.
That will give you a visual listing of all the times that photo has been posted online.
Of course, if you did that, you might find out that the Shi'ite you had embedded yourself with was lying about Zebari and you certainly don't want that.
It is appalling how so many have been able to use their personal grudges throughout the Iraq War.
Fake news?
Paddy knows all about it.
THE INDEPENDENT was on stronger ground with this quickly published and now pulled story.
They should have pulled Paddy's nonsense and left the story up about the American that's being held -- at Donald Trump's orders -- in Iraq.
Though you'd never know it from Paddy's one-sided 'reporting,' the Baghdad-based government continues its persecution of the KRG.
Iraq cabinet plans to cut Kurdistan share in 2018 federal budgetIraq's cabinet proposed on Sunday to slash the Kurdish share of the country's revenue in the 2018 federal budget, a move that Kurdish officials said was aimed to further…
AP reports:
Iraq's highest-ranking Sunni is in Washington this week pleading for more military aid for his community's militias, hoping the Trump administration will deliver on pledges to counter Iran's growing power across the Middle East.
Osama al-Nujaifi is one of Iraq's three vice presidents, and his brother heads a prominent Iraqi defense faction. Both have been represented in Washington by the same lobbyist employed last year by Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's first national security adviser. In February, Trump fired Flynn, who is now under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.
It's smart to make that request.
You never know when Hayder's going to return to again persecuting the Sunnis.
The Patrick Cockburn's weren't silent about Nouri al-Maliki.
They glorified Nouri.
They treated the thug like a hero.
But he was a thug -- just like Hayder al-Abadi.
And Hayder's attacking the Kurds now and getting away with it. This will only strengthen the Kurds. But the reality is he sees this as getting away with it.
The world press is encouraging him the same way they did Nouri.
They are culpable.

"Caliph" craps himself and flees in a taxi. No glorious martyrdom for him, then. What a surprise.
Actually, I would assume the real news value in that would be that he's still alive -- crapping and all.
How many times has the US-led coalition claimed to have killed him?

Benjamin Farquhar McLeod, 60, passed away on Sunday, November 25, 2018 at UAB Hospital in Birmingham, AL. He was known as "Gentle Ben" for his infectious smile, laugh, and personality. He was a dairyman and his passions included hunting, sports, music, dairy farming, and traveling. He had many talents and accomplishments including; high school basketball at Leakesville High School, playing the trumpet, and his studies at Mississippi State University in Dairy Science. Later in life he moved to Atlanta where he was an excellent salesman in the granite business. A longtime member of the Leakesville Presbyterian Church, he was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed by family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George Cecil and Elaine McLeod.
Left to cherish his memories are his brothers and sisters, Mary Ann Bonfiglio (Colonel Victor J.), George C. McLeod III (Linda), Tennie Lester (William C.), Dan McLeod, Stella Breland (Jack), Karen Kitchings (Jeff), and Peter McLeod; close friends and brothers, Juan Contreras and Robert Pena; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.


As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It's been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero's non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief... or will it?
The fifth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard, who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year. Somehow, over the summer, gossip (usually traced back to the magic world's newspaper, the Daily Prophet) has turned Harry's tragic and heroic encounter with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and discount the teen. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school, has come under scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toadlike and simpering ("hem, hem") Dolores Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, who takes over the vacant position of Defense Against Dark Arts teacher--and in no time manages to become the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts, as well. Life isn't getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations (O.W.Ls), devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team lineup, vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors, and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar, Harry's resilience is sorely tested.

Q: Mongoose typescript model creation with multiple connections I'm trying to create a model while using multiple connections (following the docs) but I get the following error:
TS2345: Argument of type 'Schema<Document<any>, Model<Document<any>>>' is not assignable to parameter of
type 'Schema<UserInterface, UserModelInterface>'.
Types of property 'methods' are incompatible.
... (a bunch of 'is not assignable - is missing the following properties' errors follow) ...

My code looks like this:
database.ts
import mongoose from "mongoose";

// const mongo = mongoose.connection(process.env.DB_URI!, {
const mongo = mongoose.createConnection(process.env.DB_URI!, {
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useFindAndModify: false,
    useCreateIndex: true
})

export default mongo

UserModel.ts
import mongoose, {Model} from 'mongoose';
import bcrypt from 'bcrypt'
import database from "../database";

interface UserDocumentInterface extends mongoose.Document {
    firstname: string
    lastname: string
    ...
}

interface UserInterface extends UserDocumentInterface {
    // Instance methods
    hashPassword(password: string): Promise<string>
    ...
}

export interface UserModelInterface extends Model<UserInterface> {
    // Static methods
    // Currently empty
}

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    firstname: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        trim: true
    },
    lastname: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        index: true,
        trim: true,
    },
    ...
})

// Methods definitions
UserSchema.methods.hashPassword = async function(password) {
    return await bcrypt.hash(password, 10);
}
...

// const User: UserModelInterface = mongoose.model<UserInterface, UserModelInterface>('User', UserSchema)
const User = database.model<UserInterface, UserModelInterface>('User', UserSchema)
export default User

The error appears on UserSchema  in const User = database.model<UserInterface, UserModelInterface>('User', UserSchema)
What I don't understand is why this line works without issues
const User: UserModelInterface = mongoose.model<UserInterface, UserModelInterface>('User', UserSchema)

but this one throws an error
const User = database.model<UserInterface, UserModelInterface>('User', UserSchema)

when the only thing that changes is the connection type, mongoose.createConnection() as opposed to mongoose default connection

A: Turns out that as of version mongoose 5.11.11 there are some conflicts with @types/mongoose that break class inheritance when using typescript (see this issue).
I also found the solution to my problem in this discussion, it revolves around moving the Document and Model interface from the model to the schema constructor.
In practice it means turning this
const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    firstname: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        trim: true
    },
    lastname: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        index: true,
        trim: true,
    },
    ...
})

const User = database.model<UserInterface, UserModelInterface>('User', UserSchema)
export default User

into this
const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema<UserInterface, UserModelInterface>({
    firstname: {                            // INTERFACES GO HERE
        type: String,
        required: true,
        trim: true
    },
    lastname: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        index: true,
        trim: true,
    },
    ...
})
                // INSTEAD OF HERE
const User = database.model('User', UserSchema)
export default User

To me this looks like a temporary fix, the issue will probably affect only v5.11.11 as it's being patched in 5.11.12 so I suggest visiting the links above to see the issue status before using this suggestion.

Break the Safe by Mattel
10.) Break the Safe by Mattel ($24.99; ages 8 and up). Praised by players for its emphasis on teamwork, Break the Safe gives players 30 minutes and a set of specialized tools—such as an "ice suit" to neutralize heat sensors—to unlock an evildoer's safe and save the world. The 30-minute time limit should fit well with today's busy families. As Phil Jackson, vice president of games marketing for Mattel, put it: "Break the Safe provides families with an opportunity to have fun, communicate, and work together toward a common goal. It also teaches the kids that whether they win or lose, their family is always on their side." Not many toys can make that claim.

Luke & Another v Wansbroughs (a firm) & Another
Reference: [2003] EWHC 3151 (QB); [2005] PNLR 2
Court: Queen's Bench Division
Judge: Davis J
Date of judgment: 18 Dec 2003
Summary: Professional Negligence - Barristers - Solicitors - Settlement - Breach of Duty - Standard of Care
Instructing Solicitors: Manches & Co for the second Defendant
The claimants alleged professional negligence against former solicitors (W) and barrister (A). In the original action, the Claimant had sued the Ministry of Defence for malicious falsehood. His claim was a classic defamation claim brought in malicious falsehood in order to qualify for legal aid. After substantial delay by the first Claimant's original solicitors (KS), A was instructed. A advised that a threatened application by the MOD to strike out the claim would have an 90-95 per cent prospect of success. One year later, the Claimant instructed new solicitors, W in place of KS. C again advised that the Claimant's claim was very vulnerable to being struck out by reason of delay. After settlement negotiations, the Claimant settled for £5,000 plus costs. He alleged that the advice to settle for this sum was negligent and that he had lost a valuable claim for malicious falsehood.
(1) Whether the advice that the Claimant's claim would almost inevitably be struck out was negligent
(2) Whether the advice to settle for £5,000 was negligent
(3) If relevant, whether W's reliance on specialist Counsel was reasonable
(1) The advice given by A was not negligent. Her view, shared by W, that the prospects of the Claimant's claim being struck out were 90-95% or "almost inevitable" were within the range of advice that, in the circumstances as they presented themselves at the time, could reasonably and properly have been given by specialist Counsel.
(2) The advice to settle for £5,000 plus costs was also not negligent. There were many reasons justifying the advice to settle at £5,000 plus costs: (i) there was a substantial period of inexcusable delay. Over 5 years had elapsed since the action had been commenced and it had not even been set down and was nowhere near ready for trial; (ii) most of the delay was attributable to the negligence of KS or the dilatoriness of the Claimant or both; (iii) the limitation period had expired; (iv) both prejudice (under Birkett v Janes) and abuse of process (under Grovit v Doctor (CA)) were capable of being inferred.
Malicious Falsehood claims are pretty rare. A negligence action based on the loss of a malicious falsehood claim is even rarer. The robust advice on the prospects of strike out given by a specialist barrister was held to be not negligent. This was not surprising. Prior to the Woolf reforms, a Defendant facing a 5-year-old stale claim would have had little problem in having it struck out. How things have changed!

Soft colouring makes this wide brimmed hat in Dove Grey and Pink very feminine.
This hat is just so delicately soft in colour ! Dove Grey and Pink are combined to create this wide brimmed hat. The wide upturned brim measures approximately 50cm from side to side and 45cm front to back.
The cuffed crown is wrapped in ruched pink silk, with hand-tooled silk flowers to the right hand side. Matching silk wrapped loops and hand trimmed and curled ostrich feathers complete the hat.

During summer you can get to Kjerag by taking the tourist car ferry (The Fjords) to Lysebotn and then go by car or taxi further up to Øygardstøl, the starting point of the trip. In high season, you can also go by bus from Stavanger to Øygardstøl (Tide Buss).
The hike starts from the parking (fee) at Øygardstøl south of the Lysefjord by Lysevegen above Lysebotn. Located here is a service facility with toilets and tourist information. The demanding trail will take you up and down hilly mountaintops, and the difference of altitude is 570 metres. It is always important to take weather precautions. If there is snow in the mountain it is not recommended to do the hike, or you should use a nature guide. Remember good footwear, preferably mountain shoes, warm clothing, food and drinks. Should the weather indicate difficult conditions, please use walking sticks/ski poles on the hike. A general good physical fitness is necessary. To avoid the loss of daylight on your return hike, you must not embark on this hike too late in the day. Get informed on the time for sunset as well as other weather conditions.

The Hotdoggers Longboard Surf Club is based at Saunton Sands, North Devon, but boast members from all over the UK. The club won Surf Englands club of the year in 2018. Although an active long boarding club it also boasts a SUP division and has been running between three and four contests with a SUP division every year, culminating in the club awards night in November to present trophies for the winners and talk surfing at the bar.
The events are held at Saunton beach with its long righthand waves and shorter but equally fun lefts. The vibe at the contests is super laid back, with most of the SUP surfers also competing in the long boarding as well.
Hotdoggers March 30th surf contest 2019 – checking in.
The first contest of the year was held on 30th March 2019. It was a last minute call as the surf forecast was small, but club president Norman Wright asked the members via the Facebook page whether we should go for it and a big 'yes' came back so it was on!
It was a great decision as we had perfect clean 2ft waves and the sun came out. The SUP went in first, straight into the final as only myself, Sean Facey and Steve Pye had entered (some of the regulars were away at the GB SUP race in Nottingham). We got into the water at 8.50am but the judging tower didn't arrive for another 30 minutes, so we had beautiful waves to ourselves until they did! Steve Pye was riding a 9ft Starboard longboard shaped SUP, watch out for a longboard division in SUP contests this year! Sean and myself rode short board style SUPs. Sean is between boards at the moment, waiting his new one to be glassed, so he borrowed my Diplock 8ft and I rode my JP 7ft 10.
The judges and the tower arrived (towed by the new club vehicle, good to see it in the flesh at last) and the heat kicked off. Norm, Dre and Graham were using a new electronic system for judging, which was brilliant – they put the scores into tablet PCs and the scores went straight out, live, onto the internet. It's a great system and I believe we will be seeing it at BLU and hopefully BSUPA events this year. It should be said all the judges are ISA qualified and often judge at different events all over the world.
Hotdogger Judges Norm, Dre and Graham.
We were lucky to get such great waves and it was one of those heats where you can just go for it and surf for the love of it. I had a couple waves I was happy with so decided to have a dig around for some waves that I could take some risks on, Sean had also had a couple of really nice waves. Steve was getting some really long, smooth waves on his 9ft, really it was just fun surfing with friends.
In the end I managed to win the heat, but only by 0.8 of a point, with Sean in second and Steve third.
Next up was the open long boarding, which Sean entered, then the masters which I entered (and had a shocker in). We also had a single fin division later in the day. There was some amazing longboard skills on display with Jersey resident Ben Haworth flying in to compete and taking the win in the open and the single fin, Paul Keenan winning the masters, Rich Unsworth taking the Grand Masters and Jen Pen winning the ladies. Special mention goes out to Beth Leighfield from Bude who got second place in the open, the single fin and the ladies (yes men and women compete in the open, and the women frequently smash the men, both Beth and Jen made the final). Beth, Jen and SUP legend Tina Beresford are currently out in Spain competing in the WSL LQS Longboard Pro Espinho so best of luck to them!
If you would like to come and take part in one of the friendliest contests and be part of a great club get in touch with the Hotdoggers on Facebook or visit the Hotdoggers website. The dates for the next contests in 2019, subject to conditions, are 13th-14th April, 14th July and 7th-8th September. All held at Saunton Beach, North Devon.

Pure Idol Heart sent me this whole smorgasbord of stuff, just about all of which is going to get some kind of treatment as time becomes available, but I wanted to call out this new MV from C-Style because, uniquely among legitimate chika veterans, this may be an established, fairly well-known group that would benefit from my 2018 resolution to elevate unknown idols more. I don't post about them much because most of their activity is local, but I usually don't hesitate at the moments when they're easy to share.
What you should know about C-Style: They used to have many more members, they like to enter every meaningful idol competition, they are very traditional in the sense that they appear and perform dang near anywhere, the members' spines are made of pipe cleaners, and they can rock out with the very best of them.
Maybe this is the song that'll personally take you over the edge toward fandom, though. I've always thought that C-Style should in particular satisfy a large number of Ladybaby and/or Alice Project fans; if that describes you, congratulations!


Un tanto surrealista, pero tiene su punto.
Lots of atmosphere in this dark, moody image Carraol, love it, you make me want to take more chances with my photography.
looks so lonely. Or is it the inside which dictates the meanings?


A Cockatrice is, in Muggle texts, a synonym for a Basilisk. Though never fully defined in the Harry Potter series, it is apparently a dangerous creature that reproduces by means of eggs.
There are only two mentions of a Cockatrice anywhere in the series. One is when Karkaroff is accusing Professor Moody of being over-cautious, perhaps to the point of paranoia. Karkaroff says that Moody had destroyed a gift given to him because it was ticking and he had thought it might contain a Cockatrice egg; in fact it was a carriage clock.
The other is when Hermione, in response to Ron's question about who the five judges for the Triwizard Tournament are, says that three of the judges must be the heads of the three schools. This was because she has found mention of the Triwizard Tournament of 1792, in which all three school heads were injured when a cockatrice the Champions were supposed to be catching went on a rampage.
Interestingly, cockatrices are not mentioned in "Newt Scamander"'s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
From the limited description we have, we do not know whether Basilisks and Cockatrices are the same creature, as our Muggle literature would indicate. As a Basilisk hatches from a chicken's egg (in Muggle mythology, a rooster's egg) incubated by a toad, it is possible; but no mention is made of the basilisk egg making a ticking sound. One also would have to wonder if the egg could be taken away from the toad before it hatched: would the lack of incubation prove fatal to the basilisk?

During the past twenty-five years, Ireland has seen an explosion of women's fiction - hundreds of published works that reimagine the inherited literary traditions and the social contexts of women's lives. Changing Ireland examines women's use of historical fiction, exile literature, Northern war narratives, speculative fiction, and classic 'realism', and looks at the local Irish forms of international women's genres like the romance novel and feminist fiction.

Changing gender roles and attitudes to family formation in Ireland
Margret Fine-Davis — 2016-09-15 in Social Science
Author : Margret Fine-Davis
Recent decades have witnessed major changes in gender roles and family patterns, as well as a falling birth rate in Ireland and the rest of Europe. While the traditional family is now being replaced in many cases by new family forms, we do not know the reasons why people are making the choices they are and whether or not these choices are leading to greater well-being. While demographic research has attempted to explain the new trends in family formation and fertility, there has been little research on people's attitudes to family formation and having children. This book presents the results of the first major study to examine people's attitudes to family formation and childbearing in Ireland. Based on a nationwide representative sample of 1,404 men and women in the childbearing age group, the study was carried out against a backdrop of changing gender role attitudes and behaviour as well as significant demographic change.

Continuity Change and Crisis in Contemporary Ireland
Brian Girvin — 2013-10-18 in Political Science
Author : Brian Girvin
The focus of this book is to analyse from a number of perspectives the politics of change in Ireland north and south since 1969. The emergence of the troubles in Northern Ireland, the final push to gain entry to the EEC, changing social mores and severe economic difficulties all begin to appear on the horizon at this stage. While considerable change and, indeed, moments of extreme crisis, have taken place in areas such as Northern Ireland, the economy, moral politics, and Ireland's attitude towards the European Union, continuity has also been a significant hallmark of Irish politics since 1969. This volume offers important perspectives and opens up new debates in explaining the phenomena of continuity, change and crisis in contemporary Ireland. New evidence on the origins of the troubles in Northern Ireland, the Arms Crisis, Ireland's relationship with Europe, the process of social partnership, and the politics of morality all offer important fresh insights into how contemporary Ireland has functioned. Featuring a number of high profile scholars and uniquely dealing with both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, this volume argues that the intriguing feature of recent Irish history is not the absence of change but the extent to which change has been mediated by the existing political cultures, national traditions and long-standing institutions of both north and south. This book was based on a special issue of Irish Political Studies.
Brand New Ireland
Michael Clancy — 2016-04-15 in Science
Author : Michael Clancy
What role does the state have over national development within an increasingly globalized economy? Moreover, how do we conceive 'nationality' during periods of rapid economic and social change spurred on by globalization? By examining tourism in the Republic of Ireland over the past 20 years, Michael Clancy addresses these questions of national identity formation, as well as providing a detailed understanding of the political economy of tourism and development. He explores tourism's role in the 'Celtic Tiger' phenomenon and uses tourism as a lens for observing national identity formation in a period of rapid change.

Tate Modern Picasso show charts one extraordinary year: 1932
LONDON (AP) — In 1932, Pablo Picasso was 50 years old and art critics were asking whether he was yesterday's man.
He proved them wrong with an outpouring of creativity that is charted in the exhibition "Picasso 1932 — Love, Fame Tragedy," opening this week at London's Tate Modern gallery.
More than 100 paintings, drawings and sculptures, all from 1932, show Picasso's influences, including his rivalry with Henri Matisse, his interest in psychoanalysis and his passion for younger lover Marie-Therese Walter.
Walter inspired some of the Spanish artist's greatest portraits, one of which sold at Sotheby's last week for almost 50 million pounds ($70 million.)
Three nudes of Walter, painted over a five-day period and not displayed together since 1932, are at the heart of a show that explores the interplay between Picasso's work and his life — especially his complicated love life.
In 1932, the artist was living in Paris with his wife Olga Khokhlova and their son Paulo, while having a relationship with Walter, who was 28 years his junior.
Co-curator Nancy Ireson said at a preview Tuesday that the exhibition offered "an incredible opportunity to get really close to Picasso."
"We're used to seeing him as an iconic artist, but here we really get to the person and to the heart of his creativity," she said. "Without making judgment, it makes an iconic figure more relatable."
Picasso's career lasted seven decades — he died at 91 in 1973 — but 1932 was one of his most fertile years. Walter, with her strong aquiline nose, inspired paintings, drawings and sculptures that absorbed and transcended styles including cubism and surrealism.
In March alone he produced the three nudes — "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust," "Nude in a Black Armchair" and "The Mirror" — as well another portrait, "Girl Before a Mirror," which is on loan from the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The show also includes "The Dream," a vividly colored portrait of Walter considered among Picasso's greatest works. It was once owned by Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn, who put his elbow through the canvas in 2006 just after agreeing to sell it for $139 million.
Olga left Picasso in 1935 when Walter became pregnant, around the time the artist moved on to a new mistress and muse, Dora Maar.
Picasso's treatment of women has often been criticized, but Diana Widmaier Picasso, granddaughter of the artist and Walter, said "this traditional idea of Picasso being a monster" was simplistic.
She said Picasso's passion for Walter "led him to explore different mediums including sculpture, print, drawing."
"He's making love with all these mediums, not just with Marie-Therese," she said. "It's a consecration of Marie-Therese, who he's transforming into a figure of peace and freedom."
The exhibition runs Thursday to Sept. 9. It previously ran, without the three March 1932 nudes, at the Picasso Museum in Paris — where it was given the more suggestive title "Picasso 1932: Erotic Year."
Grandson Olivier Widmaier Picasso said looking at his grandfather's erotically charged paintings of his grandmother could be awkward.
"The sexuality is a part that I don't want to discuss most of the time — no one does," he said.
But, he added, "it's very important to show the public that for every subject, every model, there was a direct relationship between the artist and the model."

The possible radioprotective effect of Immunocal® (whey protein]) supplement and dexamethasone on gamma-irradiated cerebellar tissue of Wistar rat was investigated in this study. Forty male albino rats were acclimatized and randomized into four groups of 10 animals each. Group I rats served as control; Group II: received 2.5 Gy of gamma-radiation; Group III: received Immunocal® (286mg/kg) for 14 days, then 2.5 Gy gamma rays on day15 of experiment; Group IV: received dexamethasone (1mg/kg) i.p daily for 3 days, then 2.5 Gy gamma rays. All rats were euthanized 14 days post-irradiation. Rat brains were fixed in 10% formalin, processed with routine paraffin wax techniques and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. Histomorphometric studies showed that radiation significantly (p< 0.05) reduced the thickness of both the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellum when compared with the control group. This reduction was significantly (p< 0.05) increased in animals pretreated with Immunocal® and dexamethasone before irradiation. The densities of the Purkinje and outer stellate cells were significantly (p< 0.05) reduced in the irradiated animals compared with the control. The Purkinje cells and outer stellate cells were significantly increased (p< 0.05) in animals of Radiation + Immunocal® and Radiation + Dexamethasone groups relative to the radiation group. In conclusion, data from the present study showed that pre-treatment with Immunocal® and dexamethasone before exposure to a single dose of 2 Gy of gamma radiation on the 15th day of the experiment, protected rat's cerebellum from gross and histological alterations from radiation injury.

According to Benue.com.ng, the management of the Face of Idoma pageant has dethroned the 2014 Miss Idoma Joy Onazi just a month before she was supposed to hand over to the next queen. A letter signed by the Legal Adviser to the organisers of the pageant, Agila Social and Economic Carnival, Odang Oche, stated that she was removed from office due to her inability to live up to her duties and responsibilities and also deliberately refusing to adhere to the guidelines set for her by the organisation.
-Disobeying laid down rules and regulations of the organisation.
-Dragging the name of the organisation to the mud, thereby opening the organisation to negativity in the public domain.
-Gross abuse of office, thereby undermining the code of conduct that guides the office of the Face of Idoma.
-Destroying the official vehicle of the Face of Idoma 2014 due to recklessness on your part, in which lives were lost.
-Travelling outside Makurdi without notification and permission.
The organisers say all efforts to check the former beauty queen's excesses in time past have been fruitless.
They also asked the queen to return all property of the organisation in her procession or face litigation. The dethroned beauty queen was suspended a few months ago over allegations of gross misconduct. She was only recently involved in a fatal car crash with her official car in which she knocked down two pedestrians while returning from a humanitarian effort out of Makurdi. The dethroned queen is yet to react to this development.

What to do in Virgin Gorda? Check out "The Baths", one of the most popular attractions in all the BVI. "The Baths" are located about 1.2 miles south of Spanish Town, at the southern tip of the island (between Spring Bay and Devil's Bay).
So what makes "The Baths" so unique? The area displays the history of the islands volcanic past, which dumped granite that has since eroded into piles of boulders on the beach. The area abounds with tidal pools, tunnels, archways, and scenic grottoes. Since 1990, the area has been recognized as a "BVI National Park".
While on Virgin Gorda, you won't want to miss the Copper Mine. These ruins, located on the southwestern tip of the island, are testament to the island's history, dating back to the mid 19th century. Still today, remains of the chimney, boiler house, cistern, mine shaft, and rich veins of copper can be seen.
With a population of barely 225, Jost Van Dykes gives many reasons to slow down and appreciate life at a pace unlike anywhere else. Stop by Foxy's at Great Harbour and meet the world famous calypso comedian himself, Foxy Callwood.
If Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke isn't off the beaten path enough for you, head around the east end of the island to Little Harbour. Foxy's Taboo restaurant is perfect for a peaceful lunch and post culinary soak in the "Bubbly Pool". Nature's perfect jacuzzi, the "Bubbly Pool" is a tidal pool that bubbles up when the north facing swell hits the surrounding rock structures, causing the energy of the ocean to break into billions of pleasing bubbles!
One of the most popular snorkeling sites in the BVI, the caves at Norman Island offer the experience of a night dive during any time of day. These three water level caves are located at the western edge of "The Bight", which is the protected cove located on the northwestern side of the island.
If you work-up enough of a hunger snorkeling, a sure bet for grub is the "Willy-T". This 100ft floating bar/restaurant is frequented by sailors and locals alike.
Sandy Cay and Sandy Spit
Off the eastern end of Jost Van Dyke are Green Cay, Sandy Cay, and Sandy Spit. Among other things, great beaches and snorkeling abound. Sandy Spit is probably the most photographed piece of land in all the BVI. Its the euphoric Caribbean setting, with white sand beaches and two picturesque palm trees.
This flower covered eight-acre island is surrounded by a majestic white sand beach. The island is nestled in a sheltered lagoon whose shallow waters are always calm and crystal clear. It is the ideal place for snorkelers to enjoy the colorful fish and sea life that inhabit the coral reef and the lagoon. The island is also home to an award winning Pusser's Restaurant specializing in seafood and Caribbean cuisine.
Unlike the other British Virgin Islands, Anegada is a flat atoll and is not volcanic in origin (its formed of limestone and coral instead). Its highest elevation of 28ft above sea level explains its nickname, "the drowned land".
Anegada is sparsely populated, with about 200 perminant residents. Another 200 or so tourists daily make the trip to enjoy the quiet stretches of beaches.
At 800-acres, Guana Island is located less than half a mile north of Tortola. Snorkelers will love "Monkey Point" and the island is a great stop when in route to Virgin Gorda and Marina Cay. Monkey Point is well known for magnificent snorkeling adventures with assorted marine life.
This group of uninhabited small islets is renowned for great snorkeling and is located approximately 6 miles north east of Tortola and 2.5 miles north west of Virgin Gorda in the strait of Sir Francis Drake Channel.
