Q: Typescript conditional property failing to for function argument The conditional type should allow for smart properties but somehow everything below fails on the last line:
interface Props<T, S extends boolean = boolean> {
  value: T;
  isString: S;
  submit: S extends true ? (arg: string) => void : (arg: T) => void;
}

interface FalseProps<T> {
  value: T;
  isString: false;
  submit: (arg: T) => void;
}

interface TrueProps<T> {
  value: T;
  isString: true;
  submit: (arg: string) => void;
}

function fancyFunction<T>(props: Props<T>): void;
function fancyFunction<T>(props: FalseProps<T> | TrueProps<T>): void {
  if (props.isString === true) {
    props.submit('submit a string');
  } else if (props.isString === false) {
    props.submit(props.value);
  }
}

const args = {
  value: 2,
  isString: true,
  submit: (arg: string) => console.log(arg),
};

fancyFunction(args);

What I get is:
Argument of type '{ value: number; isString: boolean; submit: (arg: string) => void; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Props<string, boolean>'.
  Types of property 'value' are incompatible.
    Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'.

I'm using version 3.5.2
Note: After receiving @jcalz answer I expanded the question with a follow-up question that can be found here: Typescript conditional property not detecting bad functional argument

A: I think there are a bunch of issues going on here.
First of all your conditional type is being completely eagerly resolved because fancyFunction() is not generic in S, so S takes its default value of boolean, and therefore submit is just of type ((arg: string) => void) | ((arg: T) => void) and Props<T> is no longer a conditional type at all.  That's okay, I think, but it might not behave the way you expect it to.
From the point of view of fancyFunction()'s call signature
function fancyFunction<T>(props: Props<T>): void;

, the Props<T> type is
interface Props<T> {
  value: T;
  isString: boolean;
  submit:  ((arg: string) => void) | ((arg: T) => void);
}

Your args value is inferred to be of type
const args: {
    value: number;
    isString: boolean;
    submit: (arg: string) => void;
}

(Aside: were you expecting that isString would be of type true?  TypeScript doesn't work that way by default.  You can use a const assertion if you want args to be inferred more narrowly)
And you are calling fancyFunction(args).  That means that the compiler needs to infer the type T in Props<T> given args.  You can see in Props<T> that there are two places T shows up.  These are both potential inference sites or T.  Meaning, when the compiler looks at args, it might look at both the value property and at the  argument type of the submit property to try to figure out T.
And when it looks at the argument of the submit method, it sees string, and thus string becomes a candidate for T.  And it tries that and fails.  Blecch.
You might have been assuming that the compiler would just use value to infer T, and that the type T in submit should be a "non-inferential type parameter" (maybe you didn't think in those specific terms).  Well don't actually have those in TypeScript, but there is an "official" way to lower the priority of an inference site so that it tends not to be consulted as much.  You change T to T & {} in the place where you want the inference not to happen:
interface Props<T> {
  value: T;
  isString: boolean;
  submit:  ((arg: string) => void) | ((arg: T & {}) => void); // change here
}

If I make that change, the error goes away:
fancyFunction(args); // okay, T inferred as number

Which is what you want, I think.

Again, you might want to pay more attention to what you're doing with the conditional type and the type of the args variable, just to make sure that you're doing what you intend to do.  But the & {} trick should at least help with your generic type inference woes.
Okay, hope that helps.  Good luck!

This neat jewelry making project is perfect for recycling old bottle caps into a fun cap pendant for a necklace. All you need is a metal bottle cap, necklace chain and ring, pliers, a drill with small drill bit, any knick-knacks to be placed in cap and Devcon®home 5 Minute® Epoxy.
Clean the metal bottle cap thoroughly.
Use the drill to drill a small hole through the outside ridge of the cap. Be careful not to make a big hole.
Place one small jump ring through the hole in cap and tighten it. Use another small jump ring and put it through the first one. This is because the first ring will not move one once the resin is set in place.
Choose the trinket(s) that will be placed in the bottle cap.
Mix the 5 Minute® Epoxy according to the instructions on package.
Place a shallow layer of mixed epoxy into the empty cap and let it begin to harden.
Place the trinket(s) into the cap on top of the first layer of epoxy.
Fill the rest of the cap up with epoxy and make sure to get it to all of the edges without bubbles.
Let it sit for at least 5 minutes to give time for epoxy to harden.
Attach the chain to the jump ring and your necklace is ready to wear.
Use magazine clippings, colored paper or fabric to make a patterns or use as a background in bottle cap. Cut out a small circles that will fit right into the cap.
When applying the 5 Minute® Epoxy, use a popsicle stick or mixing stick enclosed to scoop small amounts of epoxy into bottle cap.

Q: Is Google USB Driver a kernel-mode driver? Is Google USB Driver a kernel-mode driver?
Google USB Driver can be downloaded from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html.

A: Google USB Driver is not a kernel-mode driver.


A lot of the tasks that I do throughout the day whether teaching or in the pharmacy have some sort of standard operating procedure (SOP). The same could be said for a lot of my daily tasks as well. Since winter has final showed up and brought some snow as well shoveling said snow becomes a somewhat routine task.
For the first time in what has been a great while I grabbed the shovel and started removing the snow from sidewalks. I started with the two front steps and the short walkway to the main sidewalk as I always do and then completely blanked out on what I was going to do next. Now I'm sure everyone is thinking, "What's the big deal just shovel the damn snow".
Believe it or not there is right and a wrong way to shovel the snow. It's not how I remove it from the sidewalks, but more so where I pile it. I have to account for two things. First and foremost, more snow. You can only pile it so high before it becomes unruly and won't pile correctly. Secondly, the city plows. They are making quick runs and the snow is being thrown everywhere. The smaller the piles near the curb the less I have to re-clean from the sidewalks as the will eventually push more onto the tree lawns.

Q: How can I define a layout for Quill content? How can you make an editor within editor with Quill? Imagine a scenario: there is some text with formating, then there is an embed (image/video/...) with some formated text on the right. And then there is some text again. So HTML would look like:
<editor>
<regular_quill_stuff></regular_quill_stuff>
<customEmbed> // some CSS flex here
    <container contenteditable="false"><image></image></container>
    <container><regular_quill_stuff_in></regular_quill_stuff_in></container>
</customEmbed>
<regular_quill_stuff></regular_quill_stuff>
</editor>

NOTES:

*

*in 'regular_quill_stuff_in' user should be able too use the same toolbar but inserting embeds should be disabled.

*when you remove embed blot from outside, 'regular_quill_stuff_in' contents should be moved to 'regular_quill_stuff'.

I've tried making some custom blot based on Block, Code and Scroll but I can't really understand how to make it work, and many low level stuff isn't documented very well. Then I tried to create another instance of Quill on a dom node, but it was very buggy becouse main quill was reciving events from within . I was able to fix it with auto-enabling/disabling Quills based on user focusing divs, but it still was buggy, not to mention passing information between two Quills and edit history and deltas were very incoistent.
Surely there has to be a way to make it easier.

A: Styling and organizing HTML elements on a page is done using CSS stylesheets. Basically, elements get values for their class and id attributes, so that they can be selected to have a desired stylization applied.
This same process is done with any WYSIWYG rich text editor. The buttons on the editor toolbar are responsible for not only adding new content, but also changing what is already present. For some, this involves changing or applying classes to the desired snippet.
We can see this happening in Quill using the alignment format. If you write the following line in Quill:
This is a simple test.

As a result, you will have the following HTML markup in the editor:

This is a simple test.

Selecting a portion of this text and using/applying the alignment format to, for example, center, will cause a class to be applied to the paragraph, and the result will be as follows:

This is a simple test.

So what does this mean? This means you can define your own formats to apply classes that are in charge of arranging the layout of Quill content the way you want.

Compared to what you said, the idea is not to add the content to a
  container, but to add a CSS class capable of organizing the content.

You can choose to apply attributors, or define new elements for it. But this kind of process requires testing and more testing. I'm not sure how you want to organize things, or what features you want to add. Therefore, for this to be implemented correctly, you will need to test formats and styles for the different HTML elements present as the editor content.
I suggest you start with simple things, such as text, a paragraph. Try to create an attributor that can apply classes to paragraphs. When you can do that, try something else, such as images, videos, the embed elements. You will find varied results, and this will show that you have to test and test until the desired result is found.
As a help, copy the alignment code, but change it to a desired class. More information on this can be found at the following links:

Federal Regulators to Investigate Nearly 3 Million Hyundai and Kia Vehicles for Fire Hazard
blog home Auto Defects Federal Regulators to Investigate Nearly 3 Million Hyundai and Kia Vehicles for Fire Hazard
By Brian Chase on April 5, 2019 - No comments
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA) has opened up a new investigation this week into fires in five Hyundai and Kia vehicle models following reports of thousands of vehicle fires that resulted in more than 100 injuries and at least one death. According to an NPR news report, NHTSA announced that it has launched the two investigations encompassing nearly 3 million vehicles in response to a petition filed by the Center for Auto Safety, which is a consumer advocacy group.
What Vehicles Are Involved?
The cars that have been included in the scope of the new investigations include Hyundai's 2011-2014 Sonata and Santa Fe, Kia's 2011-2014 Optima and Sorento and Kia's 2012-2015 Soul. So far, the South Korea-based automakers have received about 3,125 reports of fires that were not triggered by a crash, NHTSA reports. The agency's files show one documented death linked to this auto defect.
Federal safety regulators say the probe will evaluate the scope, frequency and potential safety-related consequences of the alleged defects relating to the fires. Initially, the center asked the agency to examine the Optima, Sorento, Sonata and Santa Fe vehicles in June 2018 and then added the Soul to the list of problematic vehicles in the next month. The group has also asked Congress to investigate these fires.
Kia Fire in Southern California
Barely a day after NHTSA announced this investigation, Los Angeles resident Jessica Hernandez said her 2015 Kia Forte erupted in flames as she, her mother, 16-year-old son and boyfriend were driving from Manhattan Beach to Lynwood. Hernandez said as she was driving on the freeway, she noticed other drivers waving at her.
Her car stalled and then smoke began to pour in through the air conditioning vent. They were all able to get out of the car safely before it fully became engulfed in flames. But the family is clearly shaken and has been left terrified over their experience. However, Hernandez's Forte is not included in NHTSA's investigation announced this week.
Time for a Comprehensive Recall
Both Hyundai and Kia have dragged their feet for way too long. We've seen too many reports in the media about drivers and their passengers having close calls with these vehicles spontaneously erupting into flames. NHTSA along with the automakers need to be expeditious in examining all vehicles that have these issues, recall and repair them. Too many lives hang in the balance here.
If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of these Hyundai and Kia vehicle fires, please contact an experienced auto defect lawyer to obtain more information about pursuing your legal rights.

The all-new Eclipse Cross CVT will be available in 4×2 and all-wheel drive.
Boasting Mitsubishi's unique Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC), the all-new Eclipse Cross offers a defiant new-genre coupé approach, fusing stylish design and functionality for trendy individuals who are looking beyond the latest trends.
The latest arrival in the Mitsubishi Motors South Africa stable expands the local product offering to six distinctive models in the range (ASX, Outlander, Pajero, Pajero Sport, Triton and now the Eclipse Cross).
"Eclipse Cross, which surpassed the global sales milestone of 80 000 units since its international launch 12 months ago, boasts a coupé-like exterior and is perceived more modern, distinctive, dynamic, advanced and sportier than most of its competitors," says Nic Campbell, General Manager of Mitsubishi Motors South Africa.
The all-new Eclipse Cross CVT will be available in 4×2 and all-wheel drive (AWD), both with a 6-speed CVT gearbox with Sports Mode coupled to Mitsubishi's 2.0-litre MIVEC petrol engine.
The latest model offers cutting-edge technology to deliver a bold action adventure compact SUV that takes you beyond the everyday.
"The three primary product attributes of the all-new Eclipse Cross are stimulating design, confidence-inspiring driving and human connectivity," says Campbell.
The stimulating design concept of the all-new Eclipse Cross brings the new compact SUV into the modern age, combining the latest styling design with incredible driving dynamics and innovative, intuitive safety technology.
Winning a host of international awards, including the prestigious GOOD DESIGN award for Design Excellence and Design Innovation, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross was named the Automotive Researchers' & Journalists' Conference of Japan "RJC Car of the Year 2019".
Judges praised the sharp looks, excellent rough-road performance and well-balanced drivability of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross.
Its defiant design concept focuses on a fine balance between the wedge-shaped coupé style and practicality of space and comfort, with its adventure character creating a sophisticated balance between sport and style. On the outside, the front face expresses dynamism and sportiness based on the "dynamic shield" design concept, with Japanese craftsmanship including a functional and hi-tech lighting design.
Part of the Eclipse Cross's Japanese Craftsmanship is the new Red Diamond body colour with high brightness and high chrome which emphasises the vehicle's vibrant styling further. The strikingly lustrous Red Diamond paint is created by a multi-coat process that includes the layering of a semi-transparent red and clear coating for a high-colour saturation and intensity that produces a highly-refined, deeper finish. Red Diamond is the most premium exterior finish ever offered by Mitsubishi Motors.
The cockpit of the all-new Eclipse Cross has a sporty design that stimulates excitement with an ingenious selection of features, making drivers want to invite friends for a ride.
Powered by Mitsubishi's proven 2.0-litre MIVEC engine, coupled to a finely-tuned 6-speed CVT with 6-step Sports Mode, the all-new Eclipse Cross offers excellent acceleration that gives the new model a dynamic feeling behind the wheel.
Mitsubishi's unique Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) ensures outstanding stability in all road and driving conditions, offering agile handling for unequalled safety.
S-AWC is the integration of the vehicle dynamics control system with the controls of each component around the all-wheel drive system, offering the driver additional safety and comfortable driving.
If the driver unintentionally brakes or accelerates too much in a normal turn in slippery conditions, the system helps the driver to maintain control safely with usual steering inputs.
S-AWC detects the vehicle's position, decides the proper torque distribution between the front and rear and left and right wheels using power and brake control, ensuring sure-footed control.
The highly-efficient power train, with Smart Driving Assist and Active Smart Safety, offers confidence-inspiring driving and ultimate peace of mind.
Another outstanding feature is the full-colour Head Up Display (HUD) that sharpens the sensitivity of human and machine connection.
The all-new Eclipse Cross has an advanced human-centric cockpit thanks to its meticulously designed layout, giving the driver intuitive command of the vehicle in all conditions on or off the road.
As an optional extra, connecting your mobile device to a 7" touchscreen Infotainment system (with built-in GPS) via Bluetooth allows the driver through Voice Control to access the phone's compatible apps and stored information to get directions, make calls, send and receive messages and enjoy music from the phone or any Apple Car Play and Android compatible device.
Standard equipment is a standard touch-screen radio.
Everything is taken care of thanks to a smartphone storage tray and USB connectors in the centre console.
The HUD conveys relevant vehicle information in full colour above the instrument cluster for easy viewing without the driver having to take his or her eyes off the road. The image brightness and display height can be adjusted to suit driver preference and time of day.
The screen extends or retracts when the ignition is turned on or off.
Apart from the HUD, the sporty, meticulously crafted cockpit includes next-generation technology and connectivity, enhancing driver awareness and control.
Mitsubishi's product offerings in South Africa, the all-new Eclipse Cross boasts a full complement of advanced active and passive safety features.
The new model has 7 airbags, including driver and front passenger, side and curtain airbags and a driver knee airbag, which provides an extra level of protection when the driver might need it most.
The all-new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will be offered in two derivatives for the South African market – the two-wheel or front-wheel drive version and the all-wheel drive model.
The 2.0-litre MIVEC DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine uses ECI-Multi Point Fuel Injection with an output of 110 kW @ 6 000 rpm and 198 Nm of torque at 4 200 rpm.
Coupled to this engine, the INVECS-III CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with its 6-step Sports Mode delivers effortless acceleration from any speed, slick gear changes and a smooth ride. The driver can also control the shift steps via the Paddle Shifts behind the steering wheel. Keeping the engine at optimum performance at all times, the CVT enhances fuel efficiency.
All this is possible due to a new modified torque converter & damper assembly, changes in final gear ratios and software.
The CVT with 6-step Sports Mode contributes to the 2.0ℓ MIVEC engine's outstanding fuel consumption of 7.9 ℓ/100 km (combined cycle) for the 4×2 and 8.1 ℓ/100km for the AWD derivative.
Both models boast a turning circle of 5.3 m and a ground clearance of 180 mm.
The 4×2 derivative has a fuel tank of 63 litres while that of the AWD comes to 60 litres.
The introduction of Eclipse Cross as part of Mitsubishi Motors' compact SUV range in South Africa has created the opportunity for the company to realign the ASX range with the introduction of two new derivatives – the ASX ES M/T and an ES 6-speed CVT derivative – with its retail prices at R359 995 and R379 995 respectively. An official press statement to follow in the last week of February 2019.
The all-new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross enters its segment as a massive value-for-money offering.
5-year / unlimited mileage Roadside Assistance.
Service intervals are every 15 000 km.


I love how easy it is to use Google Sites. Its "wiki" like interface is what appeals to me most. No need to access any backend settings, plugins, or need to possess any coding knowledge. With that being said, I do not like how Google Sites does not allow for moderated, public commenting. This is a feature that is long overdue and sorely lacking in Google Apps for Education. However, after having performed a little online research I was able to remedy this problem by installing the Disqus commenting gadget on a Google Site page. I created a Google Sites blogging template that you can copy and play around with in order to see for yourself how Google Sites works in conjunction with Disqus. Just click on the image below to download the Google Sites template.

The Internet technology is always progressing and we can expect to see more improvements. As commonly known website speed is one of the most important metrics in determining ranking positions in search engine results. By switching to HTTP/2, you can have significant improvement in performance. SEO professionals and website owners who seek to continue getting more speed boost should know about this technology. Google wants the audience has good experience in the web. HTTP/2 may also improve performance for mobile search. Before switching to HTTP/2, you should be aware of some details.
You need to make sure that your server can support HTTP/2. If your system is unable to support HTTP/2, as an alternative, you need to use a CDN. For a small website, it may take only an hour to upgrade to HTTP/2 standard. For big enterprise websites, it could take a few weeks, depending on the complexity. If you want to know whether a website complies with HTTP/2 standard, there's an extension for Chrome for that. When using HTTP/2, make sure that you prepare HTTP/1.1 as the fallback. In this case, you should never disable HTTP/1.1, because Google won't be able to crawl your website.
If you deploy HTTP/2 via CDN, it's possible to see a reduced load on the servers. There are many third party tools that can help you find out about performance benefits after migrating to HTTP/2. Website administrators should be aware that optimizations for HTTP/1.1 may not be effective for HTTP/2. The development team should continuously improve the knowledge about proper optimization. As an example, with HTTP/2, all resources will be loaded at the same time. You need to check the server, whether there's a limit on the number of resources that can be loaded at the same time.
It's up to the server how many simultaneous streams, but the recommended value is at least 100. When you use HTTP/2, it's a good idea to use domain sharding for assets. When new connections are opened up, you need to make sure that there's no negative impact from it. The old-school implementation of sharding is three or more subdomains are created to overcome the limitations of only six connections allowed for each server. There are various new features that come with HTTP/2. As an example, this standard has a new compression standard, known as HPACK, which compresses the HTTP header section.
Another feature is known as stream prioritization and it allows website administrators to designate that some requests are more important than others. Resources are assigned by Chrome based on the heuristic methodology, so it can be worked out which one is more important. HTTP/2 allows this heuristic method to be implemented and the stream prioritization feature gives website owners fine-grained control. They may specify various resource priorities and dependencies. SEO professionals should have better understanding about HTTP/2 and use it to their advantage, such as improving the overall performance. This will have direct effect in SEO results, such as higher ranking positions, due to the improved speed of the website.


Going with HUMBLE MOUSE (1) who has gone nicely at Cowra recently. Never previously shone from draw but in better form than most others and could be the day he fires. JACOBITE BLUE (5) steps up after okay runs over shorter elsewhere, could run a nice race. LIL MISS MARKA (7) value hope, resuming but been competitive previously. DANA GEM (4) next.
Had successive placings at Cowra over 450m recently in okay time. Unplaced four previous starts from rails draw but could lift here in this modest company.
Fourth at Cowra last start. New to trip, record so far doesn't inspire great confidence and is unplaced 2/2 starts from draw. Big ask.
Fourth at Cowra last start. Been steady rather than spectacular recently but has placed 2/3 starts from draw. Could sneak another place here.
Lightly raced type who is resuming after two months away. Has clocked competitive 26.43 over this. May lack sharpness but capable of a strong run. Chance.
Couple of okay runs over 453m at Cowra recently. Has struggled to salute so far though and lacks explosive pace. Will need luck.


I had been accepted to film school, but my parents couldn't afford it, and yet they made too much money for me to get a scholarship.
Yeah, at home it's all moonbeams and puppy-dog tails, so I guess I do have a darker side – and I like writing about it.
Well, I'm from Indiana. So to me when I was a little kid growing up, Cincinnati was the glamorous New York of it all.
You know, I'm very particular about my sheets. They have to be one hundred percent cotton, with a high thread count. Only cotton. No flannel.
Originally, 'Popular' was going to be a movie.
When I was growing up my favorite show was 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show', and I loved all the stuff that Norman Lear did.
Even though 'Glee' is sometimes a hard road, I am very excited about writing a multi-year arc.
I've gotten death threats, yes. I have. I think anytime you shine a spotlight on homosexuality or minorities and you try and say they are as normal or as worthy as acceptance as others, the people who are on the fringe don't like that and they will come after you. And they have come after me.

It's not just in your head. Single women are more attracted to you now that you're married (and, yeah, a bit of a fat guy). That's probably thanks to mate-choice copying, a biological process that exists across species, in which females are more attracted to males based on the endorsement of a third party. Now, this effect is less about home-wrecking and more about sharing notes, according to most studies. Regardless, there certainly seem to be biological advantages to being pre-approved. Here are a few:

While there's plenty of evidence that mate-copying takes place in both sexes among animals, there's preliminary evidence that the effects are more distinct in human women. One study published in PLOS One found that women considered coupled men more attractive and spent significantly more time looking at pictures of potential suitors when they were depicted as married or in a relationship. The effect did not extend to men looking at paired women — so mate-choice copying does not explain the whole MILF thing.
Not Just Some Women — Most Women
One recent study presented a photograph of a man to college women, and found that 90 percent of them were attracted to the man even after they were told that he was in a relationship. But when the women were told that he was single, only about 59 percent were interested. "The single women really, really liked the guy when he was taken," co-author Melissa Burkley of Oklahoma State University, told the New Scientist
But They Typically Grow Out of It
Younger and presumably less experienced women are more likely to be attracted to married men, according to at least one study. The research, published in the journal Human Nature, supports the prevailing theory among evolutionary biologists that mate-choice copying has something to do with another woman cosigning a man as "safe." Conversely, mature, experienced women may have developed more sophisticated ways of assessing potential mates. Interestingly, the same study reveals that the influence of mate-choice copying appears to have its limits, and when men were depicted as having five past relationships, even inexperienced women knew enough to tap out. A man on his first marriage is far more attractive than a man on his fifth.
It All Depends on How Good-Looking Your Spouse Is
The stock of a taken man seems to be boosted not by his own good looks, but by the appeal of his partner, research shows. The study found that, when people were coupled with a more attractive mate, the mate-choice copying effect grew stronger. So the good news is that you married out of your league. The bad news is that this makes single women wonder if they missed something when they gave you the once-over.
They Ultimately Still Respect the Ring
Unlike other experiments that assessed attractiveness based on pictures and written scenarios, one study had women interact with men who were wearing wedding rings, and then interact with men who were not. When researchers asked a series of questions afterward, women reported that men without wedding bands were more attractive than married men. And when they were asked who they'd rather have dinner with, have sex with, start a relationship with, or invite home, ringless men won out across all four domains.

The Colombians are rightly proud of their country, and you'll feel a tremendous sense of refreshment and delight when you visit. Colombia enjoys everything from flat lowlands to high snow-capped Andes mountain ranges.
Mountainous Medellin is a city of eternal spring, with a pleasant climate of around 24°C (75°F). It's hard to imagine that this city was once one of the most dangerous cities in the world, considering it is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in Colombia.
While you are in Colombia, make time to explore the beautiful city of Bogota. The heart of the Andes is known for its whirlwind festival, a celebration of traditional Colombian dance. In Bogotá, travelers, find it an ideal place to do business, or explore history, food, culture and many other local customs.
The Caribbean city of Cartagena has excellent beaches and a historic old town with colonial architecture. The city's historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it's one of the safest places in the country. This city is an open-air museum, yet has more than just culture and history to offer.
Colombia boasts outdoor playgrounds like Lake Murray, Congaree National Park, tropical sandy beaches, thundering waterfalls, and amazing rainforests.
In Colombia, salsa isn't just a taco topping. Dance in "the land of a thousand rhythms" in the southern city of Cali, Colombia's salsa capital. The clubs start warming up in the early hours of the morning. Don't forget to come packed with your dancing shoes to move those hips till sunrise.
Colombian food is typical of Latin American cuisine as a whole, and most dishes are served with rice, beans, or potatoes. That said, no matter where you go in the country, you'll also find arepas at every meal. Made of ground corn dough or flour, arepas con queso (with cheese) are best sampled from street vendors (for $1).
Two other popular foods are Ajiaco, a heavy, potato-based soup that includes shredded chicken, and Mondongo, a broth-based soup which contains chopped tripe. They come served with accompaniments for mixing, including rice, avocado, bananas, and fresh cilantro.
Thirsty? Colombia's selection of tropical fruits is unmatched, and you can get a glass of fresh fruit juice for no more than a dollar or two.
And of course, Colombia is well-known for its coffee. Join the locals and order a tinto, a very small cup of coffee that is often sold out of thermoses, on the streets. If you prefer to savor a cup while sitting, the chain of Juan Valdez Cafes is the Colombian take on Starbucks, and offers free Wi-Fi to customers.
Want something that packs more punch? Aguardiente is a clear, anise-flavored (black licorice) alcohol that is inexpensive and available nationwide. Drink it straight, with a water chaser.
For souvenirs, Colombia is known for its high-quality emeralds, though even jewelry lovers with a smaller pocketbook can find gold items made with pre-Columbian designs. The indigenous groups make and sell items like Wayuu bags, hammocks and bracelets.
And of course, a bag of freshly-roasted Colombian coffee is an inexpensive and much-appreciated memento for your friends at home.

Bongani Ndlovu, Showbiz Correspondent
TWENTY TWO-YEAR-OLD Natasha Carol Gora was on Saturday evening crowned Miss Tourism Zimbabwe Bulawayo ahead of 13 other contestants.
The contest to find Bulawayo province's representatives for the national beauty pageant was held at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo. Initially there were 18 contestants, but four dropped out at the 11th hour without giving reasons.
Aulynda Mudzingwa was crowned first princess while Chipo Mandiudza was second princess. All three walked away with $700, $500 and $300 respectively and received various hampers too. They will represent Bulawayo at the national finals to be held on a date and venue to be advised.
Miss Tourism Bulawayo 2018 Anelisiwe Ndebele handed over the crown to Natasha. After finishing as Miss Personality in the same competition last year, Natasha, who is the Face of Cosmopolitan Night Club, said she gave her all to clinch the crown this year.
"I feel excited and over the moon. I don't know how to feel right now as I wasn't expecting this. I knew that I had put my all into it, but I wasn't excepting it (winning). I'm just so grateful to have won," said an elated Natasha.
The beauty who is studying towards a Diploma in TV and Film Production at the College of Creative Arts in Bulawayo said she pushed her mind and body to the limit to get herself ready for the competition.
"Unlike other times, this time I put my all into it and pushed myself over the limit, especially when it came to my body. I'm grateful that it all came right," she said.
Dedicating the crown to her mother, Natasha said she is confident she will land the national crown.
"I'm confident that I'll bring the national crown to Bulawayo. With everyone's backing from the city and province I can do it. I've realised that with the support of everyone you can do anything," said Natasha.
Besides Miss Tourism Zimbabwe, Natasha said she will be representing Zimbabwe in China at the Miss Tourism Global City next month.
In attendance were Miss Tourism Zimbabwe 2018 first princess Natalie Mangondo and Miss Personality for that year, Chido Michelle Nyika. Also in attendance were MTZ Byo 2018 first princess Sibusisiwe Falala with Butho Kgosi Nyathi, National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo's regional director as the guest of honour.
Going with the theme, Pageantry is Art, models wore outfits made out of recycled material in one of the categories. For instance, one model Ashley Guwu spotted a dress made out of Pepsi plastic bottles and a crown made up of Fanta cans, with a Chibuku red lid bodice inspired by her father's love of the beverage. Another was by Mhlengiwethu Mahlangu which was a dress made up of newspapers as she said she was inspired to create a paperless society. The outfits designed by the models blended well with the display in the exhibition.
Rapper Cal_Vin was part of the entertainment and got people singing his soulful track Banjalo Abantu, while Novuyo Seagirl shared the stage with her twin sister Ntombiyolwandle. Their energetic performance of their collaborative track Bambelela was one of the highlights of the night. Mzoe 7 was also among the performers with a surprise youngster 15-year-old Ras Teken who sizzled with his dancehall tracks on stage.

Whether you haven't ridden your bike in a while or you're dealing with a 30-mile one-way commute, distance can sometimes be a problem depending on your level of fitness. But if you really want to begin biking to work, you don't have to let distance become a factor you can't overcome. In fact, it'll give you a goal you can eventually work toward as your fitness improves.
Drive part of the way and bike the rest. Find a park or ride-share lot where you can park your car during the day that is a reasonable distance from the office. If you have to drop your kids off at school and it's closer to your job than your home, considering leaving your car there and biking the rest of the way.
Consider an electric assist bike. While you'll still have to pedal, an electric assist helps you cover more distance than you would be able to alone and helps you get to work a bit faster, too.
Use a combination of public transportation and cycling. While it will take more planning, hoping on a train or bus part of the way can be a reasonable solution depending on where you live.
Though you'll definitely save money in the long run by biking to work instead of driving, cycling is still an expensive hobby. Finding a safe place to store your bike and gear while you work is a problem that can be a deal breaker if you let it.
Solution: If you have a less-expensive bike, ride that to work instead. Buy a good bike lock to detract thieves, and park your bike in a highly visible area. If riding an older bike and parking outside isn't an option, let your boss know your problem and see if it's possible to store your bike in a closet or someplace else during the day that's out of the way. You can also look for a nearby bike storage facility if you live in a major city or ask a local bike shop if there's any way you could keep your bike there for a small fee.
Busy roads and routes without bike lanes can make you feel like you're in danger during your commute. While trying different routes and wearing hi-visibility gear is an option you should look into, it isn't always a solution.
Solution: If you have a flexible work schedule, see if you can get to work a bit earlier than your co-workers. Leaving for work at 6 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. allows you to commute during non-peak traffic hours and helps you feel safer and free from having to battle for road space with other cars. Also, don't be afraid to claim your space on the road to protect yourself. Sometimes riding too far to the edge when there's no bike lane to let other cars squeeze by can actually put you in more danger. Always ride at a safe speed, use hand signals and work on your bike handling to make yourself as safe and visible as possible.
Helmet hair and sweat can be a real problem for commuters. If you don't have shower facilities, looking presentable after your morning commute might seem pretty impossible.
Solution: Commuting doesn't have to turn into an interval session. Take your time and ride at a moderate speed so you aren't a sweaty mess by the time you arrive. Clean up in the restroom with a wash rag or baby wipes. If you're dealing with a long commute, see if there is a nearby gym where you could shower and store your gear in a locker.
Laptops, work clothes, food and grooming supplies can be real nightmare to lug around. Luckily you do have a few options so you won't have to break your back on the way to work.
Solution: If this problem feels unsolvable, try driving to work and biking home a few days a week so you won't have to carry anything. If you are interested in a solution for biking to work, try to bring several work outfits to the office and leave food in the office kitchen on the days you drive to the office, which cuts down on how much you need to carry. For the things you do need to bring, try a bike rack instead of a backpack. While it adds weight, it'll improve your comfort and make you less sweaty — especially during the summer months. Another option for clothing is to find a nearby dry cleaners that's a walkable distance. Drop your dirty work clothes off during lunch and pick them up in the morning when you need a clean, pressed outfit before heading into the office.

In early November 2018, TARA's David Coulson took a group of 8 people on a Rock Art Safari in Niger's Air Mountains in the Southern Sahara, an area where the Trust has been documenting art since the mid 1990s. The group arrived by air from Niger's capital, at the picturesque town of Agadez, once known as the Gateway to the Sahara.
The land expedition with 5 Landcruisers left the following morning and arrived that afternoon at Dabous, the Big Giraffe site which TARA put on the world map in 1997. When David first recorded these giant 7000 year old carvings, the news went viral. At a press conference held at National Geographic in 1998 the giraffes were described as one of the greatest pieces of prehistoric art ever found.
When the group arrived at the Dabous site on Nov 1st about 100 Tuareg, many mounted on camels, came thundering across the ancient lake-bed in their finery hooting a "Royal" welcome to a our group. Meanwhile the women gathered in circles clapping and chanting .
During the week that followed, David and his old friend Rhissa Agboulah (now Minister for Security) took the group on a grand tour of about 800 kilometres through spectacular mountains and dunes north east of Dabous, visiting many wonderful engraving sites. During this trip they saw only one human being, a 12 year old Tuareg boy who had been sent on a 59 km hike to check on some camels. Many of the Air engravings feature alien-looking warriors probably made between 2000 and 3000 years ago.
During the trip, David was able to document a number of new rock engraving sites (see images below) which they found to add to TARA's archive, much of which is accessible as part of the British Museums global online collections. These safaris offer an opportunity to record new art.
TARA will be taking another group to the same region in 2019. Anyone interested in joining this trip should contact David Coulson directly (david@africanrockart.org) or his assistant, eunice@africanrockart.org.

Home loans 'not just a product': Sirianni
Home loans should be viewed as a vehicle through which borrowers can achieve their financial goals, and not just a product, according to Smartline.
While the interest rate is the selling point for most borrowers, loan structuring should also be a major consideration, Smartline executive director Joe Sirianni said.
"People need to view their home loan not just as a product, but as a vehicle which can help them achieve their goals," Mr Sirianni said.
"Advice from a quality mortgage adviser from the very beginning, which is then reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that the measures put in place are still the most appropriate, is essential for people wanting to achieve their property goals," he said.
While loan structuring takes into account the actual home loan product itself, consideration is also given to how the loan is secured, whether it is fixed or variable (or a combination of both), the types of repayments (interest only or principal and interest) and whether there is benefit in facilities such as redraw and offset accounts, Mr Siriani said.
"Your mortgage adviser will look well beyond the headline interest rate and ensure that all the many other considerations associated with a home loan are working in your favour," he said.


In addition to serving customers with thousands of tools, fasteners, and accessories, Bay Supply will help you store and organize everything with our selection of Tools & Parts Storage products. Manufactured by Platt & LaBonia Company, their Craftline series of part and tool chests feature commercial-grade construction, snap-in ball bearing drawer slides, and keyed locks to deliver an innovative storage solution.

Giuliana Huamán
At the age of 25, when she thought she had fulfilled her dreams, she discovered that she was actually not happy. It was then when she created a startup which failed. However, she tried one more time and became a promoter of Peruvian women's achievements.
Raised in the province of Callao, Giuliana Huamán is about to begin a journey across the most innovative countries on earth, as she is eager to learn. She seeks to apply here the new knowledge she acquires during her trip and share them with more women.
In 2018, she was part of the international team that won the innovation competition organised by the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She was already a senior executive in a multinational corporation by the age of 25, but her life experienced an abrupt 180-degree change due to a motorbike accident. She lost her memory for three months. Once she recovered, she created a startup and failed; it was then when she started "Empoderatec", a Facebook page that spreads news about the lives and achievements of enterprising women with the goal of inspiring and encouraging students and adult women to learn more about science, technology and innovation. This is her story.
What isn't happiness?
I used to believe happiness was a goal. I thought that if I owned a house and a car, had children and also two million soles in my bank account, I would be happy. However, three years ago my life went through many changes and I learned that I could be happy just by eating an ice cream on a hot day like today.
Graduated from a state university, you were already a senior executive in a multinational corporation by the age of 25. You must have thought that you had it all.
Exactly. And I was not happy! So, what isn't happiness? Not doing what you like, not being free. That discourages me! Every time something holds you back, it stops you from being the real you.
You studied management because you father asked you to do so.
I cannot complain about that as that is how I met and fell in love with my HR specialty and ended up working in banking. And after taking some clown and improvisation classes ―which I always wanted to do―, the possibility of organising clown workshops for enterprises came up as a work alternative.
You studied acting when you were 25, after leaving the corporate world behind.
I have been working since I was 17 years, because I wanted to pay the theatre classes that my father would obviously not afford. That is what I really wished to do!
"Empoderatec's mission is to draw attention to the work of women in the sector of technology, science and innovation"
Why did you change your life so radically?
Because I was working in an office, in the place I "wanted" to be, surrounded with everything I "wanted" and with the perfect boyfriend ―we were about to marry―, but none of those things made me feel complete.
Did you talk about that with someone?
With my boyfriend, who was my best friend. Our relationship did not end bad; he understood that I was not feeling well.
You needed to find yourself.
I needed to do something with my life and I decided to leave it all. I had started a consulting job for the World Bank that demanded me to travel throughout the country for 3 months, so I decided I would tell my parents about my decision after the trip, but I had an accident a few days later (a motorbike ran over her). That is why I always say that we never know what will happen in our lives.
Now you are leading Empoderatec, a tool that enhances the interest of women in science, technology and innovation thanks to the example of Peruvian women standing out in sectors that are considered only for men.
Empoderatec's mission is to draw attention to the work of women in the sector of technology, science and innovation. Why? Because somebody invited me to enter this world after my accident; this world was completely different and made things clearer for me; it is a parallel world in which technology and innovation are helping improve the future of the country and the world. If someone had introduced me to nanotechnology when I was at school, I would have not studied management! If I had known that I could programme my own videogames and become a programme developer… Do you know how much does a developer earn working for foreign countries? Ten thousand dollars! A programme developer working from home for a US company!
It is said is easier for men to study technology, science or math.
Of course it is. Boys receive remote control cars and girls receive dolls. Boys' curiosity is awakened with that…
Boys are invited to take action and girls to be at home.
That is right! Boys, unlike girls, are prepared to develop skills. That is why they tend to fix and disassemble things.
"Once a woman told me that her daughter had started working in digital development and loved it, but her husband thought that it was not a job for girls"
For this reason, Empoderatec disseminate cases that can also inspire little girls. Are there results already?
Yes. For instance, there is a little girl that saw the video we made to Mónica Abarca, a mechatronic engineer that creates and manufactures drones; she asked her mother to look for a place where she could learn science. She is now attending MaCtec (the Mini Academy of Science and Technology) and sent me a video saying, "I want to be like Mónica and work for NASA!". That was one of the first videos I received and showed us that we were on the right path. This year, Empoderatec will become a programme for soft skills development, as girls felt very inspired (by videos) but did not know how to talk to their parents about changing their degree. Some of them told me, "I'm afraid; people say that being an enterprising woman is not so feminine". Once a woman told me that her daughter had started working in digital development and loved it, but her husband thought that it was not a job for girls. That is why our videos show the stories behind each undertaking; in that way people can know how they are as women, mothers, friends and daughters… we show their human side and how they lead great changes.
They work hard.
If you are an entrepreneur, don't believe you can have a normal love relationship. No. You will have to find someone who wants to be with you during the process.
Your work is the proof that there are increasingly more women in the technology sector.
Yes, although we are still behind in comparison to other places. The technology sector is still mostly for men, that is why we ask for more opportunities in more important issues. "Do you women want to enter into technology? Ok, you will put some colour to websites". We can do much more than that. That is why I will begin a trip across the leading countries in innovation; I want to know those markets personally. I will be back at the middle of this year; I expect to bring mentors with me to connect them with local entrepreneurs. I will make a great startup. After I went bankrupt, I lost confidence in my talent.
That is true. You created a startup in which you invested everything and failed. What did you learn from it?
Phew! Now I know what I do not have to do (laughs)… I also learned that I was emotionally able to get through that.
You also learned that there is always somebody that will help you, didn't you?
Always! But asking for help is necessary for that, otherwise help won't come. Regarding the previous question about how failing affected me, I want to add that winning the innovation competition of the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) was very important. It gave me my confidence back, as it was not my mother or my therapist but the best technology centre of the world who was saying that I was good, that I should believe in me and that I had defeated all the competitors that were also good. That is why we have to take a chance… always!

BehindTheMedspeak: The end of anesthesia?
So it would seem, if the remarkable events described below in an April 18, 2008 BBC News story can be reliably reproduced.
Man hypnotises himself before op
A hypnotist from West Sussex has undergone surgery on his right hand without a general anaesthetic.
Alex Lenkei [above], 61, from Worthing, chose to sedate himself by hypnosis before undergoing the 83-minute operation.
He said he was fully aware of everything going on around him during the procedure but was free from pain.
The operation at Worthing Hospital involved removing some bone in the base of the thumb and fusing some joints in an attempt to improve his arthritis.
Consultant orthopaedic surgeon David Llewellyn-Clark said he was happy in agreeing to the unusual sedation on Mr Lenkei, a registered hypnotist who has been practising since the age of 16.
Mr Lenkei said Wednesday's surgery "went amazingly well".
"It took between 30 seconds to a minute for me to place myself under hypnosis, and from that point I felt a very deep relaxation.
"I was aware of everything around me, from people talking and at one stage a hammer and chisel was used as well as a surgical saw, but I felt no pain."
Throughout the operation, an anaesthetist was on standby to administer an anaesthetic if necessary.
Mr Llewellyn-Clark said he had been confident that Mr Lenkei was a skilled hypnotist and was "delighted all went well".
No problema.
Here's BBC South Health correspondent David Fenton's more in-depth April 18, 2008 report on the case.
Pain-free alternative to anaesthetics?
"I'm glad I did it — it felt ace!"
That's how a registered hypnotherapist described an operation on his thumb — without any anaesthetic.
Surgeons cut, sawed and chiselled a bone out of the hand of Alex Lenkei.
But the 61-year-old didn't feel a thing after putting himself into a trance ahead of the 80-minute operation at Worthing and Southlands Hospital is West Sussex.
"It took about 30 seconds to a minute for me to put myself under," he said.
"I was aware of what was going on around me, I could hear the surgeon talking but I couldn't feel any pain.
"I remember at one point the surgeon asked for a saw, and I had images of this big thing like you get at B&Q — then he said, 'No not that one, the little one', and I thought oh, that's all right then."
Mr Lenkei needed surgery to remove a bone about the size of a walnut from the base of his thumb.
The surgeon, David Llewellyn-Clark, smashed the bone with a special chisel, then sawed the bone ends and cleared the debris with snippers.
Throughout the operation consultant anaesthetist Dr Richard Venn was on hand to give pain relief — if it was needed.
Both doctors said the process by which a body can shut out pain by hypnosis is not well understood.
"Presumably what happened is that his own body released a lot of pain killing chemicals that prevented him feeling pain during the operation," said Dr Venn.
"What was interesting was that I was monitoring his heart, blood pressure and breathing rate all the time and they stayed exactly the same throughout — so he certainly wasn't experiencing any pain."
Dr Llewellyn-Clark believes there could be a place for hypnosis in NHS treatment.
It was the first time he had operated on anyone under hypnosis.
He added: "I think this is possibly the extreme case of what can be done with hypnosis; but some people are very anxious about being given an anaesthetic so I'm always looking to find alternatives."

Not everyone can be hypnotized, so you're still in business, Dr. Stirt.

I remember the wife's anaesthesia wearing off during a caesarean. She wasn't best pleased and not really in a suitable state of mind to just relax and let it wash over her! But for those that can, I guess it's ideal. I've had dental work where the anaesthesia hasn't worked too well, and you can do it - just let go and allow it to happen, as it were, to someone else.
I can't do it well with kidney stones, and I really have tried! I can keep it down for a few minutes, but then it wells up and I start the renal squirm.

We don't have to sit around thinking about it all week. Mets at Braves MLB Jerseys Cheap It's Bartolo Colon bobblehead night at SunTrust Park, but he was pulled from the rotation earlier this week and nhl hockey jerseys frankly might never make another big-league start.
The Rangers hold a .411 team slugging percentage and an on-base percentage of .312, which is good for 24th in baseball. So then where does the money go if the players don't get it?? Still, the I-Pace offers plenty of range for the average consumer, and it's able to make Baseball Jerseys Cheap Miami Marlins Jerseys the most of its electricity by way of aerodynamic tricks such as an air suspension that helps reduce drag by lowering the body 0 inches above 65 mph, a big hood scoop that channels air over the windshield, and exterior door handles that fold flush with the body upon locking the doors.

On defense Los Angeles has 936 hits and they've blocked 522 attempts from Baseball Jerseys opposing offenses, ranking them 20th in blocked shots. in 27 minpg., while shooting .548 from the floor… And he didn't allow New Nike NFL Jerseys any in his final two stars of the year spanning 14 innings vs.
Drew Brees is playing at an extremely high level. Harrison Barnes averages 22 points per game in 37 minutes per contest this season. Toronto may catch Portland overlooking this game. It's also pretty much the worst one to bet on. Only 1 in 10 Baseball Jerseys Custom of those older workers who experience an involuntary job loss ever earn as much per week after, the report found. Second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky took advantage of a weak Tampa Bay pass defense in tossing a career-high six touchdown passes in a 48 victory in Week 4. Don't panic This is the standard story in sports Baseball Jerseys Custom betting. They played a bitter rival on Tuesday, hosting San Antonio, now they have to go on the road and this just isn't a good spot for them. The line really hasn't moved despite the Seahawks' uncertain QB situation – pretty much everyone expected Hasselbeck to start. He was in the walkthrough today, and he'll practice for the first time in a few weeks. But none of that can happen without the shoulder blade.
The Phillies have 1 hits, including 239 doubles and 141 home runs.

Los Angeles is 15th in the NHL in Corsi percentage with 49% as they've attempted 2 shots on net at full strength while they've given up 2 shots on net in the same situations.

Travis was a first-team All-Pac-12 selection and led the Cardinal in nine different statistical categories. Adventure bikes are ultra capable machines, and KTM is king of the hill for a multitude of reasons. Howard is with a 2 goals-against average and .920 save percentage.

Compromise, ban fluoridation and also soda.
Or maybe make it so soda can only be sold in restaurants in single-serving increments or as a binary compound for home consumption.
It'd be good for them to see just how deep other hopefuls found themselves in debt though.
why hasn't there been an explosion of side-of-the-head cancer if they do?
let us join forces against the fascists.
Atomika don't electro your own face. That has a high chance of causing scarring.
I will absolutely not electro my own face.
I'm not that brave or foolish.
So the wife comes home last night and we chat about our days at work. Ten minutes in she drops "We lost a baby today."
The baby was Ugandan. He was 9 months old. He needed an organ transplant, which is not likely there. So she sells everything she owns in order to get to Boston, manages to get asylum and on the organ transplant wait list and spends several weeks at Children's Hospital keeping her kid alive so maybe he can get a transplant. She had just started to allow herself to hope, smiling and playing with her baby. Then the kid started cranking and crying a few nights ago and they found he was bleeding internally. They managed to repair the bleeding but the damage was severe enough that he could not have survived the transplant process and they had to let him go. Now the Mom is homeless in a foreign country and her baby is dead.
It's more about the fact that you are most CERTAINLY going to work 60 hours a week and you are most CERTAINLY not getting overtime pay.
Yeah, it was pretty weird a new group rented out three adjacent spaces near my office, one was just a little cafe, one was sort of a big restaurant/bar and they were going to use the last one as an event space.
Me and some coworkers stopped into the restaurant for lunch, and we were talking to the guy about the three places and why he wanted to open all of them here at the same time, and he was like "there's a really busy dunkin donuts on end of the block, a really busy starbucks at the other, and nothing else".
We're pretty sure it was actually some kind of money laundering front but either way they were gone in two months.
Fluoride in the water has been there long enough we can trace its positive and negative effects pretty well. For the most part it is positive out weighing the negative. One of the big things is it greatly reduces dental issues with in the general public especially among children which is good for overall health and wellness.
I wonder if anyone has seriously looked into the physical properties of old dried oatmeal.
I think it could be use to build bulletproof vests, bridges, tanks.
I think we could scrap the starwars program, just encase the USA in a thin shell of oatmeal, and be protected from ICBMs.
PantsB your story hit me hard because of personal happenings.
So your parents wasted their money and your friend has their TV. That's dumb and someone should have performed the filial duty of tech support for their elders before a new tv was purchased.
Is your friend going to give them the $1500-$thousands the old TV is probably still worth?
Create a webseries reviewing cool spots.
retool the format to the popular "Yell at a dumb small business owner for 30 minutes, and give him a set of knives at the end."
you could live in a 72"x72" closet and it would still look good.
We told them it was not broken. Would be downright rude not to!
They don't care though. They swim in a sea of money. They just laughed it off and said "Well enjoy the new TV!"
there's a mitchell and webb skit for this if you need a pick me up.
Yeah old people wreck everything.

Feeley learning valuable lessons as Greens continue to defy odds
There are very few minutes of the day when Jon Feeley does not have a group of people hanging off his every word.
Saturday, 12th October 2013, 8:45 am
Wharfedale Rugby Union FC head coach Jon Feeley during the Thurday nigh training session at Threshfield, Grassington. (Picture: Bruce Rollinson)
During weekdays it is a collection of attentive seven to 11-year-olds filling his classroom at Bramhope Primary School.
On weekends, and the occasional week night, it is upwards of 25 grown men, ranging from 18-stone props to nimble scrum-halves, who stand in anticipation of his latest direction on the rugby field.
"Who is the most obedient?" laughs Feeley. "It has to be the children.
"But these guys at Wharfedale are grown men with strong opinions of their own, and it's very much a case of believing in them."
In his first five games as a head coach, Feeley has trusted in his Wharfedale players to carry his message onto the pitch, and they have shown their faith in him by winning three of their opening five games of the National One season.
At 34, Feeley is younger than some of the players he is coaching, and the majority of his coaching staff who have proven an invaluable source of support and encouragement.
But as in the classroom, he is understanding quickly that his has to be the leading voice.
"The parellels between teaching and coaching are obvious," says former Leeds, Rotherham and Sheffield Tigers player.
"There are a lot of similar principles. It's the question of how can you have a better affect on the learning in the classroom.
"In coaching, as in teaching, you never stop learning. There's always something new that crops up to challenge you. You're constantly trying to improve.
"Coaching is probably the most frustrating job in the world because you'll never reach perfection.
"You'll never come away from a game being completely happy, and from that point of view it's very challenging.
"It's very similar to when you're a player, only as a coach you don't have the direct influence on the action.
"A lot of coaching is done away from the ground.
"It's speaking to players on the phone, other coaches, and in your alone time, it's reflecting on what you have done well and not so well, and taking things forward and building on them."
The two facets to his working life leave Feeley little time for anything else.
He started on the road to coaching three years ago when the flying winger recognised his acceleration was on the wane.
A coaching role at Sheffield Tigers led to a place on the staff as backs coach at Threshfields last season under Tommy McGee.
When McGee made the move to Leeds Carnegie, promoting Feeley to head coach role was the natural progression for both club and individual.
"I'm enjoying it a great deal," says Feeley, whose side's home win over big-spending Esher last Saturday was their outstanding result to date.
"It's a fantastic club to be involved with, with great ideals.
"What we lack in terms of finances we make up for in our willingness to work hard and play rugby how it should be played.
"We had a fantastic crowd for the Esher game and they lifted the players time and again.
"I've not heard the ground like that before. The stand I was stood on was shaking. It was one of those days that reminds you why you get involved every Saturday."
Keeping Wharfedale in National One is no mean feat, given that their budget is dwarfed by most clubs and eaten into by the amount of travelling a team in the lowest national tier has to endure.
Nevertheless, Wharfedale have batted above their average for 17 straight seasons, a proud sequence that as it gets longer merely serves to increase the pressure on the shoulders of the head coach charged with continuing to keep the club's head above water.
"Don't mention the amount of years," quips Feeley. "I'm trying not to think about it. I'm relatively pleased with the start we've made but what has pleased me more is how the players have reflected on the games we have lost.
"They see them as missed opportunities. They are learning all the time and they are very self-critical.
"It's a tough old league and I know it's a cliche but there really are no easy games.
"At half-time in the games against Tynedale and Esher, we were behind, but the things we said to the players as coaches they then went out and put right in the second half.
"Their ability to react quickly has been very pleasing. Within our dressing room we have players that are very capable leaders, and it's my job to harness that correctly.
"But I have great support from an exciting team around me. Tommy McGee still comes and coaches the forwards, there's Alex Howarth, director of rugby Mike Harrison and Hedley Verity.
"They often see things I've not seen or thought about, and that's how it should work. They are incredibly supportive."
Wharfedale's bright start sees them in the top half of the embryonic National One table, with today's daunting trip to the capital to tackle Rosslyn Park offering the chance to end a long, unwanted record for the club.
"We haven't won in London for a very long time," adds Feeley of the Greens' away-day blues.
"It's not a physical thing, it's more a mindset. But we have worked hard on that and what we can control and how we can influence a game.
"If we take those principles into today's game then the surroundings, the ground and the history shouldn't matter."
Whatever happens, it will be another valuable lesson learned for Feeley.

November 4, 2020 by Christine Raino
After 10 Years, We Are Changing How We Grade States
Ten years ago, when Shared Hope developed the nation's first legal framework to comprehensively analyze state laws addressing the crime of child sex trafficking, our field research on Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking had indicated that there were fundamental gaps that needed to be addressed in states' laws. That was confirmed when we launched the inaugural Protected Innocence Challenge Report Cards in 2011 and the majority of states received an "F" grade. At that point many states' laws failed to even recognize the crime of child sex trafficking. Over the last 10 years, we have been working to lay the foundation for transformational policy, practice, and cultural change by supporting state legislators and stakeholders to enact the minimum fabric of laws needed to address this heinous crime. Now, 10 years later, no state receives an "F" grade and a majority of the country receives an "A" or "B" on their report card. The Protected Innocence Challenge project was our vision for mobilizing collective state action to ensure national change. Ten years of grassroots mobilization, advocacy, technical assistance, and consistent collaboration has allowed this vision to become reality. All states now have a child sex trafficking law and, collectively, the country has made exciting progress to provide imperative protections and access to specialized services for child survivors.
However, 10 years has also led to new research and opportunities to listen to survivors, providing waves of information that require us to confront where we are and where we should be going. What we have heard, and responded to, is a call to raise the bar for states…to build on the foundation of progress by further improving protections for child sex trafficking victims. On November 18th, we will release an advanced legislative framework for the Report Cards on Child & Youth Sex Trafficking, which will be the basis for new state grades beginning in the fall of 2021. This advanced framework will build on the original framework, preserving the most fundamental components while including new policy priorities that reflect feedback and research from the field.
One noteworthy change that reflects cultural and legislative transformations is the advanced framework's shift in focus; in 2011, 75% of the framework focused on criminalizing trafficking offenders, including traffickers, buyers, and facilitators, with the remaining 25% focused on victim protections laws. Recognizing that most states have enacted the keystone statutes – the basic laws necessary for criminalizing offenders – the framework's focus will shift to focus on the area where the largest gaps remain – victim protections. Under the advanced framework for the Report Cards on Child & Youth Sex Trafficking, 75% of the policies will address critical victim protections, including access to specialized services, non-criminal responses to survivors, and avenues to comprehensive care and justice – with the remaining 25% focused on criminal accountability for offenders, and victim-centered tools for law enforcement and prosecutors.
Additionally, this advanced framework will offer extra credit opportunities for state laws that recognize the intersection of child sex trafficking and labor trafficking as well as the impact on youth and young adults. These advancements in the framework are the product of years of input from the field and the expertise of survivors, as well as Shared Hope's own research and advocacy. We are truly grateful for the collaboration of our state partners over the years, and highly value the incredible work that state advocates have done to help us build this foundation of laws! We are confident that, together, we can better protect those exploited through trafficking and continue working towards true prevention of this crime.
We invite you to attend the release of the advanced legislative framework for the Report Cards on Child & Youth Sex Trafficking on November 18 at 1:30pm EDT. You can also sign up here to receive the new report and advanced legislative framework as soon as it's available on 11/18!
Additionally, to support implementation of the advanced framework for Report Cards on Child & Youth Sex Trafficking, our team will remain available to provide rapid, technical assistance to support legislators, advocates, and state agencies; technical assistance requests can be submitted here.
We are thrilled to be starting this next chapter in advancing state laws and we hope you can join us in this effort!
