A mysterious Metal Monolith found in the Utah Desert re-establishes the many accounts of mysterious sightings and phenomenons throughout history
By Naveenika Chauhan
The news of a mysterious metal Monolith or an 'obelisk' found buried in Utah's sands in a remote western desert in the United States has sent the 'star trek' community into a tizzy.
The Utah Department of Public Safety discovered a shiny triangular metal monolith protruding from southern Utah's red rocks.
The metal 'obelisk' was spotted when the local officials were counting bighorn sheep from the air.
They were baffled to see the monolith since it is illegal to install structures or any art installation without authorization on federally managed public lands.
To investigate this uncommon sighting, a team of officials visited the site and, to their surprise, found this mysterious structure rising 12 feet from the red rocks found in Utah.
As the news went viral online, it set the world buzzing—many who believe that there may be life outside this planet. We simply do not know about it; believers and theorists stood up again, saying – we told you so!
UFOs' theory and that life from outside the planet may be visiting us from time to time is not new; in fact, throughout history, humans worldwide have described unidentified flying objects, with shapes ranging from a saucer to a triangle and strange blinking lights.
The same has also been depicted in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art and literature. These were ancient civilizations that have depictions of such unidentified objects. Still, the UFO theory caught on from the middle of the 20th century.
This was when rockets, high–tech aircraft, and venturing into space were being devised by various countries, often as secret projects.
There have been some famous supposed UFO sightings that have made history.
1947 – Kenneth Arnold, a civilian pilot on June 24, 1947, while flying his small airplane
near Washington's Mount Rainier, had claimed that he had seen nine blue, glowing objects that were flying at very high speed in a 'V' formation. He claimed that the strange craft's motion was like a 'saucer if you skip it across the water' and hence the name 'flying saucer' came to be.
He said that at first, he thought that it was some sort of a new military aircraft since it had only been two years since world war II and the first year of the Cold War.
However, the military confirmed that no tests had been done near Mount Rainier that day.
Strange as it was, reports of sightings of nine UFOs were reported from across the region, including a sighting by a prospector on Mount Adams and the crew of a commercial flight in Idaho.
There was no official statement issued by the government on the same.
1951 – Lubbock Lights, three science professors from Texas Tech were enjoying a quiet evening outdoors. When they happened to look up, they saw a semicircle of lights flying above them at very high speed. Over the next several days, many people came forward and reported the phenomenon.
The US Airforce at the time investigated the events. It concluded that the light were birds reflecting the luminescence from the newly installed street lamps in Lubbock.
However, those who saw the lights vehemently denied the possibility since the lights, according to them, were 'moving too fast.'
1957 – Levelland, an incident was individually reported by dozens of citizens of Levelland, Texas of the unusual phenomenon of seeing a rocket/strange lights that interfered with their vehicles, engines shut, and lights cut out.
The police too saw the mysterious lights. Their investigations reasoned that it was due to an electronic storm and a ball of lightning that caused the cars to malfunction.
However, the fact was that there were no thunderstorms reported in that area that night.
1976 – Tehran, Citizens of Tehran, in September 1976, made umpteen phone calls reporting a bright light in the sky.
An F-4 fighter jet was sent to investigate the matter, but its instruments blacked out as it neared the object, hence forcing the pilot to return to base. A second fighter jet took its place; it achieved radar lock as it approached the unusual light.
But the UFO released a glowing object that the pilot assumed was some sort of missile headed at him. As he prepared to fight back, this pilot also experienced malfunctions with his instruments and observed another bright object released from the UFO that, according to him, headed straight to the ground. He returned to his base despite the faulty equipment.
Iran then contacted the United States to aid them in an investigation.
The explanations given for this phenomenon were that the citizens might have seen Jupiter. The glowing lights were attributed to a meteor shower that night.
1980 – Rendlesham Forest, US Airforce members stationed at two British Royal Airforce base reported seeing strange, colorful lights above the Rendlesham forest. One man who entered the woods to investigate said to have found some sort of an aircraft there. The next day others reported significant damage to the trees nearby and unusually high radiation at the site.
More sightings were reported several days later.
The observations were recorded on an audiotape by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt. The recording was considered the most substantial evidence of the case.
But the UK's Ministry of Defence didn't find any credible threat to the nation and didn't pursue investigations further.
1989 – 90, The Belgium Wave, Belgium citizens reported witnessing a large, triangular UFO hovering in the sky.
A few months later, in March 1990, new sightings of multiple objects were reported, confirmed by two military ground radar stations. Two F-16 fighter jets were sent out to investigate the anomalies. Though the pilots could not see anything visually, they could secure onto their targets with radar.
But the UFOs moved so fast that the pilots ended up losing them.
Some 13,500 people are estimated to have witnessed the incident, making it one of the most widely experienced UFO sightings of the modern era.
The Belgian Air Force had no logical explanation for the activity. Still, it acknowledged that an unknown activity had taken place in the air. The Belgians reached out to the UK's Ministry of Defence to investigate further.
Still, once they determined that the incident was not a hostile or aggressive one, they stopped the investigation.
The strange thing is that while the above sightings are closer to our time and have been attributed to weather phenomenons or the visibility of planets in the night sky.
Such incidents have also been recorded in all ancient civilizations – Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks – in many Art forms, given specific shapes ranging from disks to triangles and so on. It does lead to the fact that these strange objects have been documented by them too.

In any case, you ought to have a lot of money. Additionally, you ought to have all the fundamental legal and legitimately endorsed records asserting your status and position. What's more, paying little mind to whether there is money, only one out of every odd individual expeditiously has the experience and ability with respect to the land promote, so in third spot is the issue of the nonappearance of various newcomers to the market, their fundamental aptitudes. This can typically provoke low quality trades, in light of which you won't simply acquire any advantage, yet furthermore lose a critical bit of your capital.
The land feature, in spite of the way that it is a champion among the most obsolete and preservationist, everything considered, in any case it has innumerable, running from order to various enlistment reports and ownership rights to a particular article. As such, the market is a kind of dinosaur, which isn't totally digitized, which infers that the documentation and all the essential managerial registers can make a level out destruction.
Another decentralized venture called Global Property Register hopes to deal with different issues.
Worldwide Property Register – is another age of the land publicize, using current advancements and mechanical assemblies, with which it will be possible not solely to fix each ensuing property, yet furthermore to get it on an improved structure through the internal token stage.
That is, to put it in essential words, Global Property Register is another kind of authoritatively obsolete old plan of the land publicize. Worldwide Property Register is competent not only to overview land, yet furthermore to control the entire summary of basic reports, legal statements and distinctive references at the definitive measurement, in order to ensure most extraordinary straightforwardness at all periods of the trade, similarly as to shed diverse bureaucratic costs.
The closeness of a blockchain framework will empower you to in the meantime control an astounding number of records and documents, while giving all the vital authoritative, managerial and genuine structures with rapid access to all the fundamental reports and reports. Additionally, the blockchain will add to the decline of additional budgetary costs, which as of late gobbled up most of the capital of a land owner. Another favored point of view of Global Property Register is land scope, since this undertaking gets the opportunity to make far and wide, without compelling itself to the edges of a country.
Meanwhile, to revive the methodology of all exercises will support the inalienable Artificial knowledge, which won't simply diminish the season everything being equivalent, yet also outfit the customer with all the vital data for the briefest possible time. Another basic detail of Global Property Register is the security of land objects both from any calamitous occasions and from other ensured events. That is genuinely not a little crucial segment for all land.
Agreeable work inside the structure will be finished by an internal token – XRX, with which customers will be proficient not solely to get some land, yet also to pay for additional organizations for the enrollment of their property and significantly more. The token itself is made dependent on the Ethereum blockchain and fulfills the ERC20 rule.
By and large, for the improvement of its venture, the architects will be released 5 billion coins with a fundamental estimation of $0.005 US per 1XRX. As a part of its ICO, the gathering intends to accumulate Hard Cap in the proportion of 25 million us dollars. This entirety should be adequate to totally run your entire model and start using it within the near future.
People who have for a long while been searching for something certified and accessible are obviously fascinated by this undertaking. Since its thought is exceptionally simple,but reasonable to the lion's share. This suggests people won't face inconceivable inconveniences in the movement of this contraption.
Regardless, recall about the perils that are accessible totally any way and the venture, so before you settle on any decision warily consider it. Since my reviews are only for illuminating purposes and don't ask you to place assets into a particular task. All that I can recommend to you is to think about in detail each autonomously picked venture openly. Additionally, for this, I for the most part set up all the indispensable associations that you will find around the completion of this review. Additionally, that is it for the time being and see you soon!


Facebook is now suspending its service on some mobiles. The implementation of new technologies has forced Facebook and Messenger to demand that you change or pass to a more modern mobile that allows to implement options on Video calls, videogames, chatbots and upcoming mobile payments.
Many of the old Android phones and iOS are incompatible for the new services offered by Facebook Messenger. This explains that the social network has decided to dispense with several models of Android, which are disconnected from their servers.
The determination made by Facebook and Messenger is effective for those mobiles that run a version before the 2.3 (Gingerbeard) that is already more than 6 years and hardly represents 1% of the market share today.
The rule will also apply for versions like Android 4 (ice cream Sandwich) that have to be updated to continue them. Something similar happens with iOS.
Users who do not want to update their app to their latest version should enter Facebook via the browser, this for the case of versions prior to 2.3 or use the App Lite of both if they have 2.3. The rest of the later versions of Android and iOS must be updated.
In Windows Phone, the third mobile operating system affected by this measure, will be without support, users of the Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 versions, which are the majority, since Windows 10 is a bit more extended.

Home > Research > Publications & Outputs > Are there limits to growth in data traffic?
This discussion paper considers the nature of growth in data traffic across the Internet, as a basis for asking whether and how such growth might slow down or otherwise be limited. Over the last decade, data growth has been dramatic, and forecasts predict a similar ongoing pattern. Since this is associated with increasing electricity consumption, such a trend is significant to global efforts to reduce carbon emis- sions. In this paper, we selectively explore aspects of data growth that are linked to everyday practices and the way they draw upon and generate Internet data. We suggest that such growth does have some conceivable limits. However, the nature of 'Internet use' is changing and forms of growth are emerging that are more disconnected from human ac- tivity and time-use. This suggests that although there may well be limits, in principle, to some forms of growth, total data traffic seems likely to continue growing. This calls for careful attention to the nature of the trends involved, as a basis for intentionally building limits into this system be- fore levels of Internet electricity demand becomes directly and more explicitly problematic.

Formula One Looking at an Expanded Grid in the Future
Dhruv George
According to the latest developments, FIA president Jean Todt wishes to increase the grid capacity in Formula One. However, the Former Ferrari boss is facing stiff resistance from the sport's current teams.
As of now, for the last three years, 10 teams have competed in Formula One. This number will remain as it is for the new F1 season, commencing this weekend. In a recent interview with Sky F1, the Frenchman admitted that he wants to increase that number.
"It's always a long debate," he mused. "At the moment we have 10 stable teams."
"As you know we are talking together with the commercial rights holder [Liberty Media], with the teams, about the renewal of the Concorde Agreement [beyond] 2020. And we are considering a lot of things."
For the 73-year old, on a personal note, it would be preferable to field 12 teams. However, he admitted that the current team principals are not in favour of such a move. This is because it will spread the financial distribution even thinner. Todt also revealed that it was the Formula One Management's intention to expand the grid.
"At the end of the day the most important is not so much the number of teams it's the quality of the team and the quality of the show. So that's something we do fully agree together with Formula 1, with Chase Carey, with his team and we are working very closely together."
Sometime ago, Alfa Romeo team principal Frederic Vasseur spoke to RaceFans about F1's current financial model. The Frenchman labelled the model as "unsustainable" for more than half the grid. The 51-year old also claimed that it would be difficult for new teams to enter the sport.
Vasseur said, "The situation to take over this kind of company today is… I don't want to say unrealistic, because you will always find someone able to do it, but it's challenging."
The last time there were 12 teams in Formula One was back in 2012

Temple Beth Abraham Presents:
Joshua Nelson, "Prince of Kosher Gospel"
March 20, 2016 Canton $36.00 - $72.00	Edit 0 0
Nelson began "a revolution in Jewish music" by combining Jewish liturgical lyrics with one of America's best-known indigenous musical forms: gospel. Thus, kosher gospel music was born. For Nelson, kosher gospel is a way to claim both parts of his identity as a Black Jew.
At the age of eight, he discovered an album by Mahalia Jackson, the Queen of Gospel, in his grandparents' record collection and fell in love with her singing. During his teens and early twenties, he became widely celebrated as a gospel singer who was continuing Jackson's legacy.
Now in his early thirties, Nelson has performed around the world, for Presidents, congregations, major music festivals—and for Oprah, who named him a "Next Big Thing." He has produced an album, Mi Chamocha, sung with stars from Aretha Franklin to the Klezmatics, and served as the subject of the acclaimed documentary film Keep on Walking.
Nelson also passes on his musical gift as an artist-in-residence at congregations across the country, including at his home synagogue of Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel, a Reform congregation in South Orange, New Jersey, where he taught Hebrew School for 15 years.
Nelson, the Prince of Kosher Gospel, brings people—and cultures—together in joyous song.
Clifford Seresky, longtime member of Temple Beth Abraham, established the Phyllis R. Seresky Cultural Fund in Phyllis' memory to be used toward musical events/concerts, and the event is made possible by a generous contribution from this fund.
VIP ticket holders are invited to a private reception after the concert to meet Josh Nelson.

Traffic is the lifeblood of a thriving website. In order to produce new business, a good flow of visitors to your website is necessary to make the conversion from visitor to the client. Search engine optimization is an investment that provides a return by creating more opportunities to acquire new clients. To develop a website that generates leads is worth the allocation of resources to the SEO budget.
It's not a big secret, the amount of searches that are being made has been increasing exponentially. We may have already passed the days where the internet was the equivalent of "the gold rush" but we are still in the equivalent of the internet wild west. There is open land for the taking and the major players are still finding their spots in many niches. The way to make the most of what is available to you right now is to begin developing your website as soon as possible.
According to Digital Ducats Inc., web development has no minimum or maximum time allocated for securing competitive ranking positions. The only truth is that the more your website is developed by an SEO company, the more authority, value and performance your site will show. Even when you have reached the top of the search results there is still more traffic to capture. Rather than one spot on the first page, why not two? Three spots on a first-page result is not an impossible feat but it would definitely be the result of a well-developed site with well-optimized pages.
A website that performs well serves as a marketing tool 24/7 and can be your greatest asset for generating leads. The quality of the leads you receive will mainly rely on what keywords your website is appearing for in the search results. If the keywords are not an accurate description of what you provide, you will not receive the most qualified leads. When you're website is accurately displayed in the search results in front of people who need your service you will see the conversion rates of your traffic increase.
Many companies make the mistake of optimizing for keywords that are too general in the description or too short in length. Optimizing for long tail keywords means choosing key phrases that are three or more words in length. Over 70% of internet searches are made with three or more words. The way people are searching has become so specific, it makes sense to optimize your website to target the phrases that have the most intent to find what you are offering.
Voice assistants have reinforced the concept of long tail keywords through searches posed as questions. In 2015 mobile search surpassed desktop searches. As of 2018, smartphones have made their way into the hands of approximately 77% of Americans. This surge in mobile development has changed the way we search for places or things that we need.
We have incorporated local search into our everyday lives with voice responsive technology. Optimizing for long tail keywords can provide the most suitable traffic to your site by supplying visitors with the most buyer intent.
Search engine optimization incorporates a wide array of skill sets. Each individual service is related to providing your website with an improved ranking and many items contribute added value associated with the service.
Publishing content has been widely used as a way to receive backlinks to a website. An SEO service will market articles to related blogs with a high number of subscribers. The result of being published will improve the metrics of your site because a backlink will be given and thereby give an upward push in the rankings department. This is part of a backlink strategy that an SEO service includes in order to capture traffic based on the keywords your site is optimized for.
The added value from this service is that your company now has an article published to a blog in a related niche with an audience to read it. Your company becomes an authority in its field by providing an opinion on a site other than your own. When people see you that you were selected and published to a popular external website, you are perceived as an expert in your niche.
Although traffic from these sites is not the primary reason to be published, there can be a trickle of traffic that's contributed to your monthly volume from people who are interested in what you have to say.
The trends are pointing to everything mobile. When all the arrows are pointing to mobile and we are not fully integrated, it's something to think about for the future of your company.
In 2015 Google began rewarding mobile sites because of the ease in which they provide information and navigation. By 2018 they are now indexing the mobile version of websites in their search engine index. Google has basically warned anyone with desktop versions of websites that the clock is ticking to a time when they will no longer be displayed on the search network.
The current is still changing so to secure and maintain a competitive position in the rankings it's necessary to keep up to date. If you get comfortable, you may get left behind.
There are specific guidelines Google has made public that will affect the SEO of your website. User experience is a big concept and page speed is a major factor in user experience.
Local search is linked with organic results although there are separate positions for each on Googles first page results. Factors that contribute to appearing for local results include many value-added services that contribute to the performance of your website.
Directory submissions are a value-added service that can provide small contributions to your SEO as well as your traffic. In the formative years of SEO, directories supplied a significant amount of authority to start the ranking process. In today climate, it's now just standard procedure to add your website to the most relevant directories to help get your business on the map.
Use local directories to enhance your local presence. It reinforces the location of your company and provides NAP verification to search engines. Search bots will crawl your site and the directories you're listed in to verify that your name, address and phone number are consistent. This verification in business details builds trust in your site.
There isn't much value transferred in terms of metrics but listing your business on a popular directory can provide a trickle of traffic that contributes to your monthly volume. Traffic from directories can be high converting visitors since they are searching for specific companies or items that are local or in a specific niche.
Setting onsite goals for your company should be done to measure conversions. Your website is your marketing tool so it can provide leads by getting visitors to fill out contact forms, sending an email or make a phone call to the business. In each case, there is a goal to set that can be tracked and monitored.
Googles Analytics is one of the most powerful tools for tracking the data your website generates. The software can monitor all monthly traffic for each page, where your visitors came from, paid ads traffic and more. The amount of time each visitor spends on your site, what pages they clicked on, and what pages they landed on and what pages they exited from.
Set the goal of reaching a target page (contact page) or a button (click to call) as the end goal for a visitor when they get to your site. When it's obvious where most people are exiting your site, you can assess whether the layout, the content or the navigation is impeding or encouraging click-throughs to the end goal.
Another aspect of reading monthly reports is to fine-tune the traffic the site is generating. It's important to know what the volume of traffic is compared to the keyword rankings. This way you can see whether your keywords are converting.
If your traffic is rising on a monthly basis but the calls and the sales are remaining the same then it would indicate the keyword you're optimized for isn't converting. This information could save you thousands in wasted resources by adjusting the direction of your marketing plan and choosing a different keyword.
Review sites are one way of creating a positive reputation for your business. It's standard practice for business owners to ask their clients to leave a review on Google, Yelp or any other relevant site. Positive reviews not only help your SEO but they can provide valuable, high converting visitors to your site and business.
Part of the service an SEO provides is creating accounts on the most relevant review sites to monitor reviews and receive notifications whenever a review is left. There are also other ways of tracking online mentions but it's typically not included in a typical SEO agreement.
Negative reviews can have severe consequences to your business if the review is damaging enough. It's important to address negative reviews as soon as possible. Leave a polite response to the person who left the review and tries to resolve the problem as best you can.
When we sum up the technological developments that have become part of our everyday lives, there is no denying we are still transforming more of our business into a digital environment. The future for every company involves adapting to change and growth of the business. SEO is a proven way to market your business and develop your website into an income producing asset.

Edgard Varèse – Offrandes
December 1, 2006 By cnp 2 Comments
Performance / Video:
Pierre Boulez conducting the Ensemble Intercontemporain, with singer Anna Steiger, in a 1991 concert recorded at the Alte Oper Frankfurt, Germany.
Born in Paris, 22 December 1883, Varèse referred to his basic ideas as "sound masses", or elements of musical sound characterized mainly by their instrumentation, registration, rhythmic shape, intervallic relationship, and volume. Offrandes, for soprano and chamber orchestra was written in 1921, and was his first work to be performed in the US. It is divided into two sections, both of which are settings of poems in French. Varèse's catalogue contains only a handful of surviving pieces (the pieces written before 1920 were all destroyed by him or lost in a fire), but he is now considered to be one of the principal innovators of the first half of the 20th century. He died in New York, 6 November 1965.

The Audiopad
November 20, 2006 By cnp Leave a Comment
New Instruments / Machines: (video)
The Audiopad is a performance instrument for electronic music that tracks the positions of objects on a tabletop surface and converts their motion into music. One can pull sounds from a giant set of samples or juxtapose archived recordings against other samples and apply digital processing all at the same time. The interface is more expressive than a laptop screen, and gives the possibility of a physical performance that is usually absent from electronic music concerts. Perhaps the only feature missing from this interface is a strap button, which would make it the best interface out there to jam with your buddies (just like the Keytar from the 80's!). MIT graduate students James Patten and Ben Recht developed the Audiopad. [Read more…]

Thom Yorke's The Eraser
November 6, 2006 By cnp Leave a Comment
Rock Album Release:
Thom Yorke is the lead singer and songwriter of the band Radiohead, the English rock band that has been often been praised as one of the most distinct bands of this generation. OK Computer (1997), pushed them to greater attention, and has been acclaimed as a milestone record of the 90's. With their albums Kid A (2000), and Amnesiac (2001), the band reached their peak global popularity, even as their music (with influences ranging from electronic music to jazz) became less conventional. The band has even had an impact in the contemporary jazz world scene, where musicians like Brad Mehldau and Chris Potter have incorporated Radiohead's songs into their standard repertoire.

Lamisil (terbinafine) is an antifungal medicine that can be available in certain forms to treat fungal infections. The tablet form is used for treating fungal toenail infections, as well as infections affecting fingernails (caused by tinea unguium). Topical formulation of this medicine is intended for treating fungal skin infections, such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete's foot. This medicine's active ingredient works by interfering with the ability of the fungi to hold their cells together and protect themselves from the hostile environment they are in. With the cell membrane weakened, the immune system can cope with the infection more successfully than otherwise. The topical forms of this medicine are available without a prescription, while the tablet form requires a prescription. However, you can always buy Lamisil without prescription: all you need is to go to an online pharmacy of your choice to place an order. When you order terbinafine online, there is no telling if you have chosen the right place, unless you do some careful research in advance. That way, you can be sure the pharmacy you end up choosing will live up to your expectations and help you make sure the condition is treated successfully. It's so common to buy Lamisil online these days, because the quality is the same, while the price is significantly lower. You can order terbinafine day or night, whenever it's more convenient, which is another argument for buying your medicine online.
Before you start taking Lamisil, especially the tablet form, you need to see your doctor and discuss the treatment in detail. This is particularly important if you have any chronic medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may interact with this one. Pregnant women will probably be advised to delay the treatment, because nail fungus is not something that can create any danger to the general health state over the period of several months. Breastfeeding should be stopped during the treatment, or you should not begin the treatment if you are breastfeeding, because this drug's active ingredient is known to pass into breast milk. There are a few drug interactions possible, especially when you take the tablet form. You should be careful when combining this medicine and cimetidine, fluconazole, and rifampin. Those are not all drugs that may cause interactions and affect the efficiency of either of your treatments.

Okay, okay… all you folks have been champing at the bit since what seems like the beginning of September to get your holiday spirit on and put up the lights, wreaths, and Christmas trees, and it's finally time. Let loose the caroling crooners over the airwaves, bring on the gingerbread, stockings, elves, menorahs, and dreidels.
Isaac and I took the opportunity of a lovely crisp evening to stroll around the American Tobacco campus and see how their decking of the halls is coming along. Usually, the Lucky Strike tower features colored Christmas lights as well, so I guess they're not done yet.
I brought along the Fuji X-E2 and Fujinon 18mm f/2, and shot JPEG with the Velvia film simulation. Normally I find the Velvia setting to be a bit too contrasty and vivid, but during blue hour with lots of different artificial light, I used it to exaggerate and stylize the converted tobacco factory buildings.
I continue to be impressed by the little Fujis and the files they produce–the colors, the detail, the high ISO performance are all fantastic. They are a joy to carry around–I had the X-E2 in my hand, and the 35mm f/1.4 along with a spare battery (you should always have a spare battery on you with these cameras!) stowed weightlessly away in a jacket pocket.
One of the great features at American Tobacco this holiday season is an outdoor ice skating rink, something totally new to me in North Carolina, and a ton of fun! We have already been once, though we were both too tired to skate on this occasion.
I imagine as we get closer to Christmas, the cold weather, the decorations, and the holiday music will all enhance the specialness of the outdoor skating experience. I love that someone had the idea to do it!

Ok so I have never had any problems with my hood opening or closing, after previously opening and closing after doing some minor adjusting to the engine like 5 minutes before, I opened it again to work on it a bit more and now all of the sudden the hood won't latch. It goes all the way down and goes down even and I can't figure why it won't close now all of the sudden. Any ideas?

Q: lldb: Displaying array as hex In lldb is it possible to display a uint8_t array of bytes in a concatenated hex?
For instance the default behaviour for displaying the uint256 type described here is
{
  [14] = '['
  [15] = '\xbf'
  [16] = '('
  [17] = '\xc3'
  [18] = 'O'
  [19] = ':'
  [20] = '^'
  [21] = '3'
  [22] = '*'
  [23] = '\x1f'
  [24] = '\xc7'
  [25] = '\xb2'
  [26] = '\xb7'
  [27] = '<'
  [28] = '\xf1'
  [29] = '\x88'
  [30] = '\x91'
  [31] = '\x0f'
}

by running type summary add --summary-string "${var.data[0-31]%x}" uint256 I can display it like this:
[0x06,0x22,0x6e,0x46,0x11,0x1a,0x0b,0x59,0xca,0xaf,0x12,0x60,0x43,0xeb,0x5b,0xbf,0x28,0xc3,0x4f,0x3a,0x5e,0x33,0x2a,0x1f,0xc7,0xb2,0xb7,0x3c,0xf1,0x88,0x91,0x0f]

but I wanted something like this:
0x06226e46111a0b59caaf126043eb5bbf28c34f3a5e332a1fc7b2b73cf188910f

A: I can't think of a way to do this with the summary string formatters.  We do some special purpose magic like this for char[] but that's behind the %s specifier which you don't want.
However, it is fairly easy to write a python summary to do this.  Here's a simple example for the type uint8_t [32]:
def unvector_32 (valobj,internal_dict):
    str = "0x"
    for i in range(0,31):
         str += ("%x"%(valobj.GetChildAtIndex(i).GetValueAsUnsigned())).zfill(2)
    return str

def __lldb_init_module(debugger, internal_dict):
    debugger.HandleCommand('type category define -e my_formatters')
    debugger.HandleCommand('type summary add -w my_formatters -F %s.unvector_32 "uint8_t [32]" -v'%(__name__))

Put that in a .py file somewhere (I put all these in ~/.lldb) and do:
(lldb) com scr imp ~/.lldb/my_formatters.py

either in your lldb session or in your ~/.lldbinit.  Then you will see:
(lldb) fr v data
(uint8_t [32]) data = 0x01020304050600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
(lldb)

I think that's roughly the output you wanted.  To apply this to the uint256 class you can change the match type to "uint256" when you add the summary, and have the summary function first get the data member using GetChildMemberWithName("data") then print the individual vector elements.  You could also use a regex match against uint([0-9]+) and then get the number of elements in data with the GetNumChildren call if you want the formatter to be more general...
BTW, I find it handy to put all my formatters in a category so I can list them easily (type summary list -w my_formatters) and turn them all off easily if I've messed something up...
More on the SB API's is here:
http://lldb.llvm.org/python_reference/index.html

A: You can change formate of lldb debugger to another format
type format add -f bytes uint8_t
Bytes format to use
uiint8_t type to apply format on

Life throws a curve ball at you

An expectant mother (model)
I graduated from San Jose State University with a MBA degree in 1991. It was an adventure by itself. My daughter was four and my son two when I went back to school. Luckily my in laws stayed with me through out the duration of my studies. I finished in three semesters with a 4.0 GPA (not bragging please) My son would bang on the door and would create a real ruckus when I tried to study or do my assignments. He would hide my books under the bed so that I would spend time with him and not with the books, but that is not the point of this post.
This post is actually a eulogy to a dear friend of mine named Krishna. My classes were in the evening between six and nine. I used to park my car in one of the side streets as getting a parking spot in that part of down town area was very tough. When I was in the first semester Krishna was in his last. He was my friend's brother. We were in different classes, but after class he would accompany me to my car, wait for me to start the car before he left as he was always concerned about my safety since that part of the down town was not well lit and not a safe neighbourhood either.
He was a very soft spoken person and he had come to US through the sponsorship of his sister, so already had the coveted green card. Even before he finished his degree he found a good job and very soon got married to a lovely girl from Chennai. When we moved to Singapore he took most of our furniture as he was newly set upping his home. His wife was a very sweet person. When we left for Singapore they were expecting their first child.
Six months later we get a phone call from San Jose informing us that Krishna is no more. He had drowned in his apartment swimming pool. On that day both of them had attended the Seemantham of one of their fiends. He had picked up his wife from office during lunch time to attend the function. After lunch when they returned home he complained of heaviness and told his wife that may be a swim would help and went down to the pool. He was found floating in the pool minutes later by somebody. Being a working day and late afternoon there was no body else in the pool when he went for a swim. So there was no way of knowing what happened to him in his last minutes. He was a fairly good swimmer. His wife was due in two weeks. Post mortem revealed that he had died due to drowning.
One month prior to his death he had told his wife that when he was doing the internal audit in his company he had found out that his colleague had embezzled money. He wanted to inform his superiors but his colleague was begging him to give him some time to make good the theft. He was a Middle Eastern guy. I do not know how an American would have acted during such a situation. But Krishna being the compassionate type and may be in India we tend to bend the rules a little to help others, probably felt that it was okay to wait for a few days before informing his superiors.
No money was coming from that fellow and the day he was going to inform his boss about it was the day of the Seemantham. Unfortunately his boss was on leave that particular day and he could not have the meeting with him. The same morning this fellow came to his desk and offered him coke in a glass, not a can, not a bottle but a glass which he brought from his cubicle. Krishna was in no mood to drink anything offered by him. But his colleague had told him that he was really sorry for what he had put Krishna through and was ready to face the consequences.He said that he did not object to him informing his boss about the embezzlement. He had apparently told him that he would be happy if he drank what he offered and so Krishna did and left office a little before lunch time. Once he reached home he had told his wife that he was not feeling very well. He also told her about the soft drink he had in a glass offered by his colleague.
So during police investigation the wife told all this to the investigating officer. His sister also vouched for his swimming abilities and felt that no way he could have drowned in an apartment swimming pool. But the post mortem results did not reveal any kind of poison in his body and the case was closed shut.
You can imagine the plight of the wife. She had no will to live even. She was unconsolable. My husband and I visited her in San Jose just before she went into labour. Her sister in law and another dear friend were her coaches and begged her to co operate and made her have a normal delivery. Krishna and his wife did not want to know the sex of the child before the baby was born though there is an option in the US to know before hand. She was blessed with a baby girl and was given the name chosen by her husband.
Krishna's mother in law stayed with her daughter after attending the funeral but her father had to go back immediately to India. On reaching Chennai he went to Vellore to meet a "medium". He was quite naturally very upset about what happened to his daughter. But he was more upset about the possibility of foul play in his son in law's death and the irreverent attitude of the local police department in the US regarding their doubts. So at the behest of one of his friends he went to meet this person who was able to talk to the spirits who had died of unnatural causes. I believe Krishna's spirit came on to that man and started telling his father in law about what happened prior to his death. He told him that he felt very dizzy in the pool and swooned and eventually drowned. The spirit told him that definitely he was drugged by his colleague. It must have been some kind of slow reacting poison. It also told him that they would be getting a girl baby (the child was not born yet) and also requested his father in law to get his wife remarried.
The father contacted his daughter in the US and told her about this experience. Her friends and relatives dissuaded her from giving this kind of information to the police which they would not in any case believe and would in no any way help in the investigation.
She came back to India after a year and after a few years got remarried. She has a good family life. But to this day she believes that her first husband did not die of natural causes.

Q: Large CSV Go channels too much memory Ok so I have a massive 2.5G CSV file which is about 25million or so records with about 20 columns.. I am trying to use GO to process this monster and do some formatting then inserting into a database. I have this basic code setup with channels because I figured it would be the fastest using go routines and such:
here
The problem being is because it is blocking, my channel just gets STUFFED with an insane amount of data and before I know it my memory is out of control. So before any processing or inserting gets done it fails.
Could someone help me out with this code and see if I can simultaneously build up the queue from reading the file WHILE processing and inserting?

A: For every record of your big CSV file you start a new goroutine. Every goroutine allocates ~2kB stack. It's not recommended to start a goroutine for everything.
Try to use a pipeline, the main goroutine would read the records and send trough a channel1.
You start eg. 10 worker goroutines that process the records received from channel1 and send the processed values trough channel2.
Then some other 10 goroutines would receive the values from channel2 and insert it to the database.
Here are some examples for pipelines.


During new president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski's introductory press conference, Red Sox president Sam Kennedy made his first public comments on his promotion after it was reported a few weeks back that he would be taking over for Larry Lucchino following the season. Kennedy said the plan had been in the works for years and he couldn't have learned from a better person than Lucchino. "I see the role as its primary focus is to support and provide resources so we can have the best baseball operation on the planet, number one," Kennedy said. "Number two, I've learned from the best mentor that anyone could ever have and that's Larry Lucchino, our president and CEO. "He and I, along with John and Tom have been working on a transition plan for several years, actually. It became public a few weeks ago. I think everyone, all the employees of the Red Sox, salute Larry for his incredible leadership." Kennedy, who has been in the Red Sox' organization since 2002, was also asked more about his role and what his primary duties would entail. "We thank [Larry Lucchino] for that and we are ready to continue to honor the fundamental obligations and commitments that John [Henry] and Tom [Werner] and Larry made back in 2002, which is to field a competitive team, to preserve and protect Fenway Park, to enhance the customer experience here and to be active participants in the community," he said. "Rest assured that's not going to change with new leadership going forward. "I am very excited to collaborate with Dave and all baseball operations, be there for them as a sounding board and a resource to make sure they have everything they need as we look to get the Red Sox back where they belong."

We Can't Find Good Help!
"We can't find good help!" This is a common refrain from various organizations with whom I have interacted over the past several years. Of course, this shouldn't be a surprise given the low unemployment rate. In fact, there have been approximately 400,000 open manufacturing jobs in the U.S. since 2012. Service organizations have also been struggling to find people to fill available positions. What can be done? Can Lean help with such a challenge beyond productivity improvements that can postpone the need to increase staffing? The answer is yes. First, let's describe the challenge a bit more.
I often will ask people about the position or positions that they are in need of additional staffing. They often can describe the position, its responsibilities, and general skills required. However, when I ask about specific processes that the person is expected to perform, things get a bit, well let's just say 'hazy', or less defined. I point out that it will be difficult to find anyone capable to perform poorly defined processes. "Of course, we'll train the person", is the common response. I then ask how they go about training. Most often, they describe a form of 'on-the-job' training. "We pair up the new hire with an experienced person, who will 'show them the ropes." Therein lie the problem and the challenge.
There is no doubting the transformative effects of technological advancements on businesses. The main developments that affect manufacturing are the Internet of Things (IoT), which describes the way objects use the internet to communicate, and artificial intelligence (AI) programs, which compiles massive amounts of data for intelligent machine learning. Both these advancements have improved manufacturing systems and efficiencies and are well-received in the sector.
By the end of 2018, there will be more than 1.3mn robots on production lines globally. However, the rise of technologies is accompanied by concerns that robots will render manufacturing jobs redundant. I believe the contrary - the development and implementation of these technologies will open many doors for businesses, with human and robot collaboration being at the forefront.


The Harkins Commercial Group jumped at the chance to work on this unique project. The Salvation Army had bought an old warehouse in the Waverly neighborhood of Baltimore with plans to make an impact on people's health in the community. We helped them transform it into a clean, affordable place for people to buy fresh and healthy food, learn smart spending habits, partake in social service offerings, and receive supplemental no-cost food items.
Named after The Salvation Army's motto Doing the Most Good, this 7,000 sf non-profit grocery is the first of its kind for The Salvation Army of Central Maryland and one of just a handful currently in the U.S. The store will provide healthy and affordable food in East Baltimore for families and individuals receiving SNAP benefits. There is a butcher counter, deli, bakery, and dairy department, and 15,000 shelved items that are purchased for about 5 percent lower than tradition grocery stores.
DMG also serves to address the need for specialized training opportunities in the grocery industry through a workforce development program and partnership agreements with several area supermarket chains. Harkins was proud to bring this project to life.


Are You A Prisoner In Your Own Home?
Your home is supposed to be a safe and peaceful place where you can relax, enjoy and get a respite from stress. It should be an environment where you can enjoy time with those who are closest to you.Unfortunately, however, for many people, their home is anything but peaceful.
In my practice, I frequently see people who have taken on the role of victim and they live like prisoners in their own dwellings. Not surprisingly, these people report significant amounts of anger, sadness, and depression.
These prisoners/victims fall into two categories.
The first group includes spouses who stay trapped in abusive, unfulfilling or empty relationships. These kinds of patients are frequently living with their spouse, but they often sleep in separate rooms. There are little closeness and virtually no intimacy. Sometimes they are physically battered. And in some instances, they are the recipients of prolonged verbal and emotional abuse, which, can sometimes be worse than physical abuse.
The second group includes parents who are being abused by their children. Sadly, many kids are controlling, manipulating, deceiving and lying to their parents. Some are physically abusing their parents and terrorizing them. Their parents are too frightened to stand up to their kids and assume the role king or queen of their household. In my view, parents must be the captain of the ship" in their homes.
Sometimes, a person is being abused by their spouse and by their kids. This, of course, makes for a psychological and emotional nightmare. Living under these abusive and oppressive circumstances like those described above for a prolonged period of time is a form of emotional torture.
Why does a person tolerate this kind of situation and what can be done to help them?
People who allow themselves to be treated poorly by family members usually have been victims of emotional, physical or sexual abuse when they were youngsters. In many cases, they grew up in homes where alcohol and or drugs were utilized on a frequent basis. Over time, they start to feel and believe that being treated unkindly is the norm and is what they deserve and it is what fits with their feelings of low self-esteem. When I talk to these kinds of patients, I feel that their spirit has been broken and that all of their positive and optimistic energy has been depleted from them.
These prisoner/victims must either remove themselves from these situations or learn how to change their family dynamics to improve their home life. Sometimes, with encouragement, they can learn to act as igniters" and facilitate some meaningful changes in their family members' behavior. In some instances, the entire family must enter therapy to normalize their lives.
It is important to help these victims to develop the courage, hope, and optimism they need to take on a more empowered role in their lives.Initially, these prisoners" tend to reject the idea of behaving in a different manner.However, if they can be helped to experience kindness, lovingness, gentleness and a sense of empowerment, they can start to like and embrace the idea of having a life as a person with self-worth, self-esteem, dignity and inner peace.
I have a range of techniques to help people experience and compare life as a prisoner/victim to life as a courageous hero or heroine. In time, many gain an appreciation of the later role. Once they experience this positive role on a deeper level, they clear the way for change, personal growth, and freedom.If you feel like a victim/prisoner or know someone who is living in this painful way, suggest that the person gets some counseling or psychotherapy promptly.

Delacorte Clock
This text is part of Parks' Historical Signs Project and can be found postedwithin the park.
One of the most beloved monuments in the parks of New York City, this musical clock hovers above the arcade between the Wildlife Center and the Children's Zoo. A gift of publisher and philanthropist George T. Delacorte (1894–1991), it was dedicated in 1965.
Delacorte, whose many gifts to the City of New York include the Alice in Wonderland statue (1959) and the Delacorte Theater (1962) in Central Park as well as fountains in Bowling Green Park (1977) and Columbus Circle (1965), conceived of the clock as a modern version of belfries in churches and city halls dating back to the Middle Ages.
Designer Fernando Texidor collaborated with architect Edward Coe Embury (son of the 1934 zoo's designer, Aymar Embury II) to create a brick arcaded bridge between the Monkey House (now the Zoo School) and the main Central Park Zoo quadrangle to house the clock and its animal sculpture carousel. Italian sculptor Andrea Spadini (1912–1983) crafted the whimsical bronze sculptures, which depict a penguin, kangaroo, bear, elephant, goat, and hippo parading with a variety of musical instruments as well as two monkeys with mallets that strike the bell.
Each day between eight in the morning and six in the evening, the clock--now digitally programmed--plays one of thirty-two nursery rhyme tunes on the hour. On the half-hour, the mechanical performance is a bit shorter. The animals rotate on a track around the clock and each also turns on an axis. On June 24, 1965, the clock was officially unveiled before a large crowd of spectators and dignitaries, including Parks Commissioner Newbold Morris, former Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, and Manhattan Borough President Constance Watley.
In 1995, the Central Park Conservancy supervised a restoration of the clock and sculptures, financed through an endowment established by the family of Mr. Delacorte in 1993.

Interest in space—and the exploration of it—has peaked like never before. From virtual reality that will transport viewers to Mars to the glider that will soon fly at the edge of the atmosphere, companies are clamoring to keep up with the skyrocketing (pun intended) interest. It's only fitting, then, that NASA should get in on the action; releasing a series of space posters that both harken back to the golden age of space travel and further our fascination with the celestial.


"Thank you for the information and thanks to Torrin and yourself as we are very happy with the professional service and attention to detail that Diamond Realty has provided".
Thanks you very much for all your kind help in making what could have been a stressful time so smooth. You were always able to make things happen and had good suggestion of people to work with. I really enjoyed the whole process and it all went exceptionally well. I know your attention to detail and considerate response to all my requests made the whole experience very pleasant. I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone wanting to sell their home.
We believe that every one of our clients is to be viewed and treated as though they are a friend and family member. Why? The cynics will say this is just a sales pitch because business is business. That's partially true, business is business. But who would you try harder to look after in a vital matter, your family or someone at work? Of course, your family would take priority.
So, we view everyone of our clients as part of our family, this is a vital and central attitude of mind that ensures we put everything we can into the sale of your home. Why choose us as your preferred real estate agents?
In my 35 years of working in the building industry I have developed, renovated, bought and sold more than 20 properties. In that time I have dealt with lots of real estate agents and have experienced dealing with some interesting characters. In the last 5 years I have developed a relationship with Torrin after getting him to sell a property for me. Torrin knows the real estate business extremely well but importantly he has a rare quality that always has his client's interest first. In my most recent transaction Torrin achieved an outcome many other agents said wouldn't be possible in this current slow market. His patient persistence and belief in the value got us an outstanding result. He also had to deal with a long term tenant in the property which made inspection times difficult. Thanks Torrin, you efforts are appreciated.
Not having much experience in buying and selling property it was extremely important for me to have a real estate agent who not only I could trust but also help me through the complex maze of paperwork. Torrin's advice, in at first selling and the helping me buy a new home was invaluable. Torrin's advice and guidance made the whole experience less stressful than I thought it would be. He also helped me with organising things which were not necessarily part of his job, which I am very grateful for.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the advice, patience and persistence you provided with the difficulty associated with this sale. It was great to see that you achieved the best possible result with the minimum of fuss".
When deciding to sell my apartment after 8 years because of an expected new baby on the way and the need for more room I was nervous about going through the process and adding stress to my partner while she was heavily pregnant. While discussing my situation with my boss he had no hesitation in recommending Torrin to help me through the process. I met with Torrin and was comfortable with him selling our property straight away. His advice, strategy and smart marketing of the property got us multiple offers within 10 days of going to the market and we eventually got very close to our asking price which was more than we anticipated and other agents said we wouldn't get in this tough market. We are very happy Torrin was referred to us. So now we are happy in a new house with a new baby and it all happen with little or no fuss. I would be happy to refer Torrin any time the opportunity comes up.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and patience selling our home. We really appreciate it and look forward to working with you again in the future.
This is just a quick note to say thank you very much for your Real Estate services. Your professionalism and integrity is to be commended. We had our property on the market for 3 months with a local agent who did nothing to stimulate a sale and brought us lots of reasons why the property won't sell. Then I placed it in your capable hands and within four weeks you had a written offer. Your outside of the box marketing really captured the attention of potential buyers and coupled with exceptional negotiating skills, reached the price that we wanted to achieve. We have already recommended your services to two other sellers. I wish you the best for the future.


This is another one of those recipes I made up by combining 3 or 4 other recipes, or parts of them anyway. And of course a couple of things added just off the top of my head. It is YUMMY! Mash up the baked beans. Mix everything together except the potatoes and the cheese. Add more liquid or bread as needed to reach desired consistancy.
Press mixture into the bottom and around sides of two 9x5" loaf pans, leaving a large trough in the center. Reserve about 1-½ cups of mixture to cover top with.
Fill troughs of each meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Cut cheese into cubes, or grate, and put this on top of the potatoes.
Cover potatoes and cheese with reserved meat mixture. ake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.


Pay for performance SEO is the best SEO option, or is it?
I receive many inquiries and phone calls on a weekly basis from potential customers asking about pay for performance search engine optimization (SEO).
Some think that there is fine print and hidden strings attached to such a too good to be true SEO offer.
Some have never heard of such a SEO offering, and think that it is a scam of some sort.
Some are skeptical based on previous experience with a SEO professional or firm that took advantage of their company using deceptive SEO practices.
Some knew about and even asked for deceptive SEO strategies and practices all for the sake of making money.
All the while, others unknowingly were taken advantage of with a $99 SEO offer that was too good to be true by some fly-by-night SEO company or a Fiverr deal promising traffic – not qualified traffic.
But for every bad experience, there are customers who have yet to experience the good, the bad and ugly of SEO.
And before you have a nightmare experience, or should you have already experienced one, I'll tell you point blank why pay for performance is your best option.
Who would offer pay for performance SEO?
Customers, with no SEO experience, simply inquire about pay for performance SEO because it sounds too good to be true.
They want to ask and pose every question they can. You know, kick the tires until they off the rim as they suspect.
I mean, how many SEO companies do you recall that offer to optimize and rank your website without having received one dime and without using black-hat or deceptive SEO strategies?
Really, how is it possible to optimize and rank a website using only white-hat SEO without ever receiving a dime of payment until their website is ranked?
I hear "Who would do such a thing?" quite often on the other end of the phone as I explain the difference in our pay for performance SEO, fixed price SEO and SEO retainer service offerings.
And believe me, there is quite a bit of risk associated with performing pay for performance SEO for customers.
I mean, after all, my company lessens the risk and upfront investment for customers while assuming the time, money and resource investment risk to attempt to rank a website first without having a customer make one payment.
Who's to say that we can't get the website ranked?
We don't take back or destroy any of our performed SEO strategies.
Nor do we deploy black-hat or deceptive SEO strategies to sabotage the work already performed.
Keep in mind that it is no guarantee that we can get your website ranked or keep it ranked.
From Pandas to Penguins to Hummingbirds and who knows what animal update is just around the corner, our job of pay for performance SEO is nothing short of a miracle.
And should we not be able to get your website ranked in one year, you essentially receive free unique, value-add content tailored just for your business, a fully optimized website for agreed to keywords, increased social awareness and sharing, increased sound link building strategies.
We offer pay for performance SEO because we understand what it means to be a small or medium sized business trying to compete in the vast world of the Internet.
It's more than just SEO and more than just collecting a monthly fee from our customers.
We understand that most small business owners depend primarily on the Internet as well as other marketing strategies to sustain and grow a business.
After all, there are only so many hours in a day that a small business owner, like yourself, can work to keep your doors open, customers happy, employees happy and paid, and last but not least, pay your wage as well.
I mean, who has time to learn SEO themselves?
So maybe we are crazy for offering pay for performance SEO.
But then again, I know pay for performance SEO helps to level the playing field for small business owners strapped for cash and time.
The last thing you need is to be ripped off by someone using deceptive SEO practices.
As for me, I put my money where my mouth is to offer and explain to customers why pay for performance is the best option to start with in their SEO effort.
Sure, there are some customers that continue to focus on 1-3 keywords using pay-for-performance as their cost-effective SEO choice to pay per ranked keyword and no setup costs.
Others start with our SEO Retainer or even migrate from pay for performance SEO to the SEO Retainer because they want to focus on a large number of traffic generating keywords.
These customers enjoy the cost-effectiveness of a SEO Retainer based and priced on overall value versus paying per ranked keyword pricing.
My hope is that Kickstart Commerce removes and lessens the emotional and financial investment in a potential customer's SEO efforts while increasing the odds of consistently generating qualified traffic that converts using sound, proven rankings based performance SEO.
Either way, when offering pay for performance SEO, I step out on faith and assume all risk to help customers long before they pay me a dime to consistently grow their customer base and generate greater revenue.
After all, there is always a great chance that I may never rank a website and get paid. After all, in SEO, there are no guarantees of rankings.
But with pay for performance SEO, my guarantee to you is to use only white-hat SEO and that you won't pay until you rank as agreed too.
And that is my reason why pay for performance SEO is your best option!
Give me a call should you have questions or leave a comment below with your thoughts.
