Animal Crossing Ds Review

PresentationYou turn on the game, and see a fairly simple screen. On the top is the start menu - on the bottom is a focused view on one of the animals in your town. Pressing start allows you access an option menu - all of the options are fairly self explanatory except for Tag Mode, which is soon explained. Generally, Nintendo did a great job on the presentation. However, some characters have lost their "Where Am I?" making it hard on beginners.Also, one thing to note. When you turn on your character, it takes a minute to load your town. I am wondering why this is, considering everything is perfect on the opening screen. It seems as though Nintendo put that in there to annoy us!Overall Presentation : 190/200Final notes: Nintendo, you don't need loading times.Controlling the GameI hate to say it, but the controls are rather terrible. Sure, they work and are above and beyond what is expected. However, there is just so much more that could've been done! Something that would've helped would be an option that allowed you to only control the items menus by touch screen - allowing you to control your character on the top screen. The touch screen controls are strange - it seems impossible to open my cabinets using the touch screen. Overall, the controls were exceptional, but in a game with so many options and so much movement, I think Nintendo should've tried harder.Overall Control: 79/100Final Notes: I would think everyone at Nintendo would be trying to maximize control to practice for the RevolutionGraphical FeelThere really isn't much to say here. Animal Crossing basically hits graphics as hard as possible for the DS. When you're running up, sometimes your patterns will have black lines. Some things are a little blocky. Overall Graphics: 99/100Smooth?I think the framerate could be a little better. The game doesn't really feel very smooth - when you run into trees, they become blocks for a split second and sometimes the game will lag up on you. Still, everything is decent.Overall Smooth: 40/50Final Notes: Great for such a poor spec systemSoundThe DS seems to have some sound issues every once in a while. I have noticed the echoing even more in Animal Crossing : Wild World. However, the sounds are otherwise great. K.K. Slider has a beautiful voice and I have had an enjoyable time listening to him.Overall Sound: 49/50Final Notes: Animal Noises are weird.MultiplayerI'm going to only touch the Wi-Fi Connection here. Easy interface, easy to connect. I have problems going to other's towns sometimes, but only on the weekends. Generally, going to a friend's town is AMAZING! The chatting is easy - and everything is practically perfect. Extra features, like Blanca, make it even better. There's so many possibilities!Overall Multiplayer: 100/100Final Notes: I love the way Nintendo is going online.LengthThis is an awful section. Simply put, the game goes on forever. Play it for half an hour a day and you'll never get bored.Overall Length: 100/100Fun levelFor some, the game is fun. For some, the game is life. For some, the game is work. Animal Crossing : Wild World is free for all. You do what you want, when you want. Don't like someone? Push them around. Want to get revenge at a friend? Invite 'em over, and stick 'em in a Pitfall. Animal Crossing : Wild World is as fun as you want it to be. Enough said.Overall Fun: 200/200Final Notes: HAHAHAHA YOU FELL IN MY PITFALL U NEWBExtrasI cannot honestly grade this part. There are so many things nobody knows about - for example, it took days after the game was released for people to find out about feathers. Who knows what else there is? Note: My Turban rules.Overall Extras: 100/100Final Notes: Note: My Turban Rules.Overall, I greatly enjoyed this game and will continue to enjoy it. Overall Grade: 858/1000 Grade Level: B Above Average Note / this will be a higher grade than most games.

The Nuns Taking to Twitch to Hear Your Dirty, Dirty Confessions
Want to know if a terrible moment in your past makes you 'worthy of redemption,' or if you should be 'thrown in the fiery flames of hell'? Just ask these streaming women of the cloth what they think
Nuns are, like, totally hot right now — particularly those who drop their skincare routines on TikTok, specialize in ASMR videos on YouTube or, er, use a statue of the Virgin Mary as a dildo on screen. The latest nun internet trend is live confessionals via Twitch, so you can confess your deepest, darkest sins from the comfort of your own home, instead of trekking all the way to the convent.
One such streamer is Niki, whose nun confessional videos — among other clips — have helped her amass her over 41,000 followers on Twitch and more than 30,000 subscribers on YouTube. In her confessions, Niki dresses in a nun's habit — rosary beads and all — drinks "the blood of Christ" and listens to her "children" list out their sins live on air, all while continuously vaping — or, as she calls it, "smoking the breath of Jesus."
At the end of each person's confession, viewers take to the chat to decide if the confessor is "worthy of redemption" — if they're not, they're "thrown in the fiery flames of hell," but if they are, they get sent to heaven. (Hell and heaven are animations on the video, sitting on either side of Niki.) The "confessions" are usually related to various bodily functions — shitting, cumming, farting… you get the idea — and they're always absolutely insane (and probably often fake).
Also taking a shot at confessional advice is PaymoneyWubby, who has a whopping 542,000 followers on Twitch and 375,000 on YouTube. In a confessional he did, Wubby takes on the role of the pope — dressed in red and white robes and a mitre hat, and using Grey Goose as holy water — while his manager Alluux (also a Twitch streamer) plays his nun assistant. An Australian streamer called Aeliael has done a nun cosplay as well, but — despite the video title — it doesn't actually seem to include any confessions.
In any event, here's a roundup of confessions so troubling they might make you consider becoming a nun.
The Guy Who Got Blown By a Dying Fish
This confessional is probably Niki's most viewed, even making it onto the r/cringe subreddit, where it now boasts nearly 19,000 upvotes. And, having already read the title, you can probably see why. Okay, so this (definitely fake) confession is from a British guy named "Q" who recalls a fishing trip he went on with his dad when he was 13. Lucky Q caught a fish, and, despite his father's orders to throw it back into the water, he kept it. "I felt like I had a connection with the fish," Q tells Niki. "It just felt very nice in my hands. It felt like it was chosen for me."
Instead of returning it to its rightful place, Q "shoved the fish down [his] trousers," but on the journey home, the fish — obviously — started to die. As it thrashed around in Q's pants, it felt like the fish was giving him a "blow job" of sorts, which "felt really special" to Q. When he got home and took his pants down, he realized he'd cum all over the fish. Q then kept the cum-covered fish in his personal mini-freezer, and continued to masturbate with it for a week — until his dad discovered it, and Q brought shame on his family.
The Guy Who Wiped His Ass on His Brother's Towel… For Five Years
This one is from PaymoneyWubby. The confessor doesn't have a name, so we'll just refer to him as "A" (for ass). When A was 15, his brother (also 15, but who has autism) broke his Xbox controller, "causing irreparable damage." In revenge for this "and other crimes he'd committed against [him]," A started wiping his post-shit ass on his brother's towel, everyday for five years — a filthy habit he only just stopped a couple of months before confessing to Wubby, and a sin that Wubby described as "the most horrible thing that has been said on stream tonight." This one actually seems true.
The Guys Who Got Caught Listening to Feet Porn
During his confession to Niki, a guy named "PMAG" recalled a time when, as kids, he and his friend escaped his cousin's party to "go and beat off to some feet porn." While they were collaboratively wanking, the phone rang, and — because they were on dial-up, AOL internet at the time — the video cut out, but the sound kept playing. PMAG's cousin and her friends then headed up the stairs, and caught the boys with the sound of feet porn still booming in their room. "Ever since that day, I can't stop looking at feet," he concluded.
The Guy Who Came on His Best Friend's Dog
Another Niki video, which is, undoubtedly, another troll. A guy named "TK" calls in to confess that he "came on [his] best friend's dog" in middle school. The pair were having a sleepover, and, at around 3 a.m. his friend was asleep, and TK began sexting with a girl on Snapchat. It's unclear from his confession if his friend was in the same room as him, but either way, TK started jacking off to the photos this girl was sending. When it was, as TK calls it, "time," his friend's dog walked into the room and got "hit in the crossfire." "It was pretty weird," he reflects. "I had to take it outside, spray it down with the hose, wash it up… it wasn't a good time."
Niki offers TK his penance: Letting 50 dogs come on him (which TK describes as "lovely"). In his final confessional gift, he reveals that the dog was called Papi and was blind. Safe to say, TK was damned to hell.
The Guy Who Revenge Ejaculated in His Parents' Conditioner
In Wubby's confession, another nameless guy (let's call him Alex) logged on to confess that when he was between the ages of 14 and 16, he used to ejaculate in his parents' conditioner bottle every time they "pissed [him] off." Alex would open the conditioner before beginning his wank, and would then simply cum into it when the time came. "It's not something I'm proud of," he told Wubby, "but it's something that happened."

Things got tense as the Cowboys and Chargers concluded their joint practices on Tuesday.
Cowboys receiver Dwayne Harris says Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer took a cheap shot at him after he caught a pass over the middle during the two teams' final practice together.
A fight also broke out in the joint practice when Cowboys tight end Andrew Szczerba ripped off Chargers linebacker Melvin Ingram's helmet and swung it at Ingram. That led to a bunch of pushing and shoving before order was restored.
The Cowboys and Chargers won't see each other in the regular season. That's probably a good thing.
Andrew Szczerba and Melvin Ingram CAT FIGHT !!!!!
Jammer's cheap shot, was a response to the UDFA ripping off Ingram's helmet and swinging at his face. The entire Defense were very angry about that.
This stuff happens every year with these joint scrimmages. Unless someone gets injured, there's not much news here.
Hey this is good for BOTH teams. Shows your teammates you have each others backs. Helps them pull together when you all have a common enemy.
A little aggression is only going help these teams grow together and that was Norvs point in pushing to get these scrimmages AFTER the preseason game… Let the grudges develop in the live game and let grown men work their issues out with a cheap shot here and there in practice afterward.
Well played Norv, let these guys "grow a pair" and develop some swagger. Nice mind trick there.
It's not the first time this offseason Jammer has taken a shot a someone. He tried to take out Aaron Rodgers legs during a interception in the first preseason game. I thought BJ Raji was going to tear his head off, he was so pissed off. Jammer is an overrated punk.
Overrated by who? Jammer is a solid dude, far from a punk. BJ, now there is overrated.
You sir should never post again because you CLEARLY have no clue what you're talking about.
Jammer is an absolute class act and has been his whole career. He's a solid CB and most have never heard of him because he lays so low.
I DARE you to produce 1 other article that speaks badly of Jammer. Don't be bitter because your QB got held to a 0.0 QB rating against us.
These controlled scrimmages with other teams do not work. Especially when you just played them in a preseason game.
They are instructed to not hit or tackle but someone usually goes too far then tempers flare and someone gets hurt.
The Chargers lost a WR in the preseason game and may have wanted Dallas to lose one too.
Time to end these scrimmages.

Fight the Narrative
Breaking the Matrix of Government Supremacism
by Bill Buppert
"All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome."
– George Orwell
We all experience the world through the shared stories and anecdotes that illuminate who we are and where we come from. Our educations, both formal and informal, drive the worldviews we develop over time. These are influenced universally by the transmission mediums we listen to or read about. Whether we are reading books (an increasingly uncommon practice), watching television, interacting on the internet or engaging in conversation with friends and family, all of these activities consistently and irrevocably develop and refine the way we view the world around us. First and foremost, our language and employment thereof has the most significant impact on us. I do not want to bother with the noxious collectivist apologias familiar to the deconstructionists like Chomsky and Foucault who profess that literary texts and contemporary conversation are freighted with the various Politically Correct bugbears like race, class and gender which to me is a neat but erroneous substitute for thinking things through. But they do make an important point: our language, in this case, English, informs and prejudices cogitation in an unconscious fashion that can short-circuit clear and conscious thinking.
For example, prior to 1860, the use of the phrase "the United States are" was far more common than the post-1865 notion of the "the United States is". Mark Twain "observed that the Civil War was fought over whether 'United States' was singular or plural". Some attribute this to Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, Professor of Greek at Johns Hopkins University, who wrote in 1909 that "if I chose (sic), I might enlarge on the historical importance of grammar in general and Greek grammar in particular. It was a point of grammatical concord that was at the bottom of the Civil War – "United States are," said one, "United States is," said another."
The genesis of a bloody and, in the end, inglorious conflict may have been a dispute over grammatical construction which informed the consciousness of millions.
The larger point is that a lack of specificity, introspection and careful use of language after a consistent regimen of critical thinking can turn entire peoples into Helot populations subject to the vicissitudes and grasping of their rulers.
We are surrounded day after day by friends, family and neighbors who have become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the State through the brilliant manipulation of the government media-education complex and its tentacles grasping at the articulation and meanings of words in our culture.
* "If we get the right man in office…"
* "But if the cops go on strike, who will protect us?"
* "If the government does not build roads, who will?" (My answer is always simple: people will)
* "Guns are dangerous…"
* "The government ought to do something…"
These are all crimes against the moral imagination because, in the end, what folks are actually saying is what level of violence must I employ against others against their will to force the surrender of their time and resources for my benefit? There are no other explanations. Yet that is the foundational concept behind the lion's share of the narrative framework in America. Narratives and meta-narratives are the stories and legends that inform why people (and nation-states) do what they do. These are the historical motifs like anyone can be president in the United States or one can become a millionaire if you simply work hard enough in America. During the last three terms of George Bush II (2001- Present), the former is unassailably true. The latter not so much after taxes are accounted for. Most of these narratives are works of fiction founded in a nugget of truth. For a variety of reasons to include human laziness and insecurity, the idea of living at your neighbor's expense against their will has become the foundational characteristic for the American culture at large. One finds small enclaves of libertarians, Free Staters and Rothbardian anarchists who think the exact opposite but they do not have tremendous influence on the culture at large nor is the majority of the population subject to believing that a non-slavery system will be superior to the tax/regulatory slave system currently popular around the globe.
Let's be clear on the meaning of slavery, it is the means by which another person other than the individual has discretion on the use of that person's time and resources absent a contract. I am a skeptic of the notion of wage slavery but not of tax and regulatory slavery. Our rulers can usually excuse the most barbaric excesses with a simple phrase: "through lawful authority". I can certainly be homeless and avoid work and the concomitant burden of taxes and regulations but as soon as I am employed in an above-ground economy job or enterprise, the sky will darken while regulators and tax collectors parachute in. One can play the legal definitional standards all you want and they are written by the government after all. The bottom line is that I am supposed to have given implied consent to participation in the job market and having more than sixty percent of my earnings taxed, a hundred percent compliance with the ocean of regulations that drown and harass productivity in this particular tax jurisdiction known as America and be responsible for having intimate knowledge of quite literally yards of Federal Regulations on a bookshelf. Implied consent is nice legal fiction to get around the troublesome annoyance of a formal signed contract.
The American narrative is bended knee to constituted authority on pain of fining, kidnapping, caging, maiming or death if one deigns to disobey. Notice I use more realistic terms than arresting or jailing so I don't put a happy face on the horrors visited on tens of thousands of non-violent Americans every day by the police who are the enforcers for the Helot system in America. This is not the land of the free and home of the brave, it is the land of the Helot and the home of the Vichy collaborator. This is a country that prides itself on the Big Lie. We thank veterans for keeping us free yet we have NEVER been threatened with invasion by a formidable power since the end of the War of Northern Aggression in 1865. American government-sponsored imperial wars abroad and support of noxious regimes has made not only Americans more threatened by our own government but given tremendous impetus to the number of entities which wish to wreak vengeance for the death and destruction we have visited on their countries abroad. Whatever one thinks of the anniversary on 9/11 coming around the corner, the case for reaping what we have sown is much more robust after we have visited so much violence on the brown people of the planet.
We are told that taxes are the price ones pays for civilization yet the government employs the practice of initiated violence against its subject population to enforce its will, a hallmark of barbarism if there is any. Don't believe me? Stop paying your taxes to any level of government and continue working. Don't pull over when the armed revenue agents' vehicle lights are flashing in your rear-view in your car on your government roads with your privilege license. Refuse to submit to arrest. Own any firearm you wish even it violates one of the 271 major Federal firearms laws. We could go on. Yet most of your fellow subjects will grumble but will vociferously defend the most outrageous and stupid laws on the books as the price of freedom. What?
Fix your language and your worldview. I recently penned an essay where I equated ALL police activities in America as terrorism and used the government's own definitional standards to buttress the case. Terms like officer safety are ludicrous because on closer examination it means the citizens' lives are always subservient to that of the very Thin (Black and) Blue Line charged with protecting the cattle milling about the country.
Stop falling into the linguistic trap of Orwellian doublespeak the government is so fond of. Here is a short list of linguistic reality:
* Taxation is theft.
* Robed government employees are paid state representatives who will rule in the state's interest.
* Government spending is not an investment; it is a taking from the private sector.
* Presidents are nothing more than Tax Commissioners.
* Nation states when stripped of the patriotic bunting and jingoistic propaganda are nothing more than claimed (and conquered) tax jurisdictions where the subjects are drained of resources at gunpoint to subsidize the rulers and their parasites and looters who maintain their constituent power.
* Terrorism is politically motivated violence against non-combatants which means that government's very charter is a terrorist act.
The list is practically endless. Your job is to cleanse your intellectual palette of all the flotsam and jetsam the government media-education complex has delivered since the Founding of the tax jurisdiction known as America and see it for what it is. Once you have liberated your mind of the propaganda backwash and the silly euphemisms, you start to see what you have missed.
You live in a nation whose very functional basis is theft from the producers to subsidize those who have not earned what they receive. A country so choked by regulation and economic distortion that it has literally committed economic seppuku. A country whose per capita prison population is the highest in the world and dwarfs the political and criminal inmates in the Gulag under the worst of the other Soviet Union in Eurasia. It is too big not to fail.
The end is nigh. We are wholly responsible for what rises from the ashes of a dead America.
Words have meaning.
"But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." – George Orwell
"I find it difficult to believe that words have no meaning in themselves, hard as I try. Habits of a lifetime are not lightly thrown aside." – Stuart Chase

Christmas Mountain bezeichnet mehrere Erhebungen in den Vereinigten Staaten:

 Christmas Mountain (Alaska)
 Christmas Mountain (Idaho)


This shoe is fantastically comfortable and has plenty of features to secure your foot inside the shoe. The use of the technologies is great with a wider audiance due to the Flyease technology.
Flyease is the latest development due to a message recieved from a young person with physical limitations. He asked for a shoe that was easierr to get on and off and that would be secure. Nike have then opened the sides up more on the shoe and added additional foot straps so that the foot is easier to get into and out of the shoe, while the straps mean you can tighten different parts of the shoe to your perfect level of comfort.
The outline design is similar to the previous model, minus the strapping, but with a small hyperposite like shape up the outside for additional stability. The toe box is pretty fluid allowing for plenty of flexibility but be careful if you like to keep your shoes pristine as the sheen across the front will flake off easily if you catch it on anything.
The laces help lockdown the mid section of the shoe and the straps hold down the rest. The outsole has good traction and helps propel the wearer forward.
Overall, this is a great shoe for all to wear, but is especially relevant to those who may find your typical shoe difficult to wear. Well done to Nike for expanding thier audiance.

Q: Android BROWSABLE intent API level Are there different steps to register an Android Activity as a BROWSABLE intent on Android 2.3 (API level 10) and earlier versions?
I've set up an Activity with an intent filter that uses a custom scheme:
<intent-filter>
    <action name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
    <category name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <category name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
    <data scheme="@string/myCallbackProtocol"/>
</intent-filter>

On a physical device running 2.3, and with the SDK's simulator set to 2.3, the browser application directs links using my custom protocol to the app.
However, if I scale back the simulator to 2.2 or 2.1 then the browser does not redirect but instead indicates the server cannot be found. I don't have an actual device running these API levels.
I would like to release my app so it's compatible with devices running 2.1 and greater. Am I wrong to assume this should be possible? According to the Android docs Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE has been available since 1.0.
Thanks!

A: I have had no problems using BROWSABLE going back at least to 2.1 if not earlier. However, I have not implemented a custom scheme, let alone one defined in a string resource. Here is a sample project demonstrating the use of BROWSABLE.

A: Solved. BROWSABLE works back at least as far as Android 2.1.  Before 2.3 it seems that loading the <data scheme=""> from a string resource leads to the Activity not being registered correctly.
Changing the @string/ reference to a hard-coded value yields the desired result.
<intent-filter>
    <action name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
    <category name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <category name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
    <data scheme="my-custom-protocol"/>
</intent-filter>

A: You don't have to issue a separate UPDATE statement for each field, you can update multiple fields in a single UPDATE statement. Also a better choice is to use parametrized query instead of concatenating strings.
Try this inside of your TRY/CATCH block:

HKI-SLAM curriculum is designed to improve learners' service leadership competencies, develop their character strengths, and nurture in them a caring social disposition and service orientation.
HKI-SLAM believes service leadership and management education is critically important in Hong Kong.
HKI-SLAM asserts quality service leadership and management is Hong Kong's most competitive advantage in the post-industrial, service age.
HKI-SLAM's curriculum framework recognizes Hong Kong's social history and culture as a primary source for studying, simulating, and experiencing the ways different cultural traditions influence and shape service leadership.
HKI-SLAM recognizes that in order to help China achieve her local, regional, and global aspirations, Hong Kong needs to develop a new visionary role that leverages on her unique geographic, historic, cultural, and business expertise. In other words, the old "Hong Kong Advantage" paradigm needs a new operating system update.
The proximal education goal of HKI-SLAM is to develop and produce curriculum and sustainable educational practices that can bring about paradigm shifts in teachers, learners, and citizens' mindsets and frames of mind about leadership, service, and service leadership.
Frames of reference are structures of assumptions and expectations that frame an individual's tacit points of view and influence their thinking, beliefs, and actions. It is the revision of a frame of reference in concert with reflection on experience that is addressed by the theory of perspective transformation – a paradigm shift.

Past of the West of the River Series, the Potato Run 10K will be run at Greece Canal Park. The course starts at Towpath Shelter, crossing over to the one way before heading up Rotary Hill, continuing around the one way and heading out of the park. Next, you traverse the inclining Elmgrove before turning onto Ridgeway for rolling hills. Once on Long Pond, the righthand Erie Canal Path exit leads racers for more than a mile along the canal to return to the paved pathway of Greece Canal Park. From there, it's pretty much all downhill and flat, turning at the one way again to then go toward Grasso Lodge, and finally returning to the start/finish line.

This is a new race series one of the local runners from my track club has started in Rochester called west of the rivers series on the western half of Rochester. I was on call the weekend of the race and a 10K sounded perfect so I decided to try this race. It was a very small race with only about 20 participants but it had excellent production for a new, small race. It started at a park in Greece which is a suburb of Rochester. There was packet pick-up at one of the park shelter. Along with bib packet included short sleeved tech shirt and potato themed goodies (potato chips, mashed potato mix, etc). The race was professional timed with chip timing at the end only. The RD gave announcements at the start line and we were off. The course started in the park for about 1 mile. Then there was about 2.5 miles through the roads of Greece and the final 2.5 or so miles was along the canal path and back in the park. The course was very well marked and for a small race had a ton of volunteers. One minor issues which the RD apologized for before the race is she was not able to secure police. There were a couple places you had to cross there were no police but there were volunteers but they couldn't force the cars to stop. I had no issues with road crossing and the streets weren't super busy. but some participants may have lost 20 to 30 seconds from it. The scenery was fine. A mix of suburbs and pretty canal path and park views. The park had some minor hills. The road had 2 big hills and the canal path was flat so good mix of terrains. Not an easy but also not a hard 10K. There was an aid station at the half way point. There were mile markers on the road but not the canal path where it would have been harder to place them. Finish line had a clock and you got a small medal. My finish time was as I expected. I was aiming around 1:20 and finished slightly over since I did have to answer a page in the middle. There was great post race food with a baked potato bar. It is also very back of the pack friendly with long time limits. However given it is a small race you will likely be running by yourself a lot. Overall I was very impressed with this race. For a new race it was very well-organized and had nice swag. I hope this race series grows in size since if it were bigger so there was a more exciting atmosphere with more participants and enough to have police at the crossings this would be a 5 sneaker race. I am going to be out of town for the November race but I will definitely do the races in this series if I am in town next year. I would definitely recommend these races to locals. However given how small the race is, I would caution about the half and full marathon in November if you are a 50 stater or half fanatic/marathon maniac and need it to count as there may not be enough participants. But hopefully that will change in future years.

You can Find the HTML code for Banner Ads directly on the Wishpond's Affiliate page. But for Marketing Automation Banner ads, you will have to wait for a while!
Wishpond is praised And applauded by different startups and agencies across the world. 1 such company is TrueCaller. A very common title, Truecaller lets you identify who's calling you and from where. The achievement of TrueCaller is unmatched, and Wishpond has been a part of the success story.
Strutta does not Provide any free service, and their plans are rather pricey. The bundle of $249 $399 and $999 called Turnkey, Professional and Designer respectively. The number of sharing programs is limited to Facebook, Instagram, microsite, website, iframe, along with several different stations.
Struta Doesn't have the site popups feature. The assortment of templates is also less. No advertising automation or lead data analyzer, unlike Wishpond. Strutta lacks program integration which is disappointing. There is a lack of lead information analysis which may be used for turning leads to loyal clients. I think with Strutta, I had to spend more time. On the contrary, Wishpond did save a lot of time.
Rafflecopter and Wishpond have many similar features. However, I think Wishpond defeats Rafflecopter with its integrations. Though Rafflecopter provides Pinterest entry option and Facebook entry option, I would still vouch for the numerous marketing programs from Wishpond. Wishpond offers advertising automation, which can be lacking in Rafflecopter.
Rafflecopter, on The other hand, has a FREE program that might attract users. But I am convinced those who are reluctant to compromise their marketing needs, will proceed and'buy' a plan which suits their needs.
Aritic PinPoint is a full Stack marketing automation tool with advanced automation features. Designed for SMBs mainly, Aritic PinPoint shares All of the attributes within Wishpond. However, Aritic PinPoint exhibits a much richer attribute record. For example, Wishpond offers international stats for all of the campaigns while Aritic PinPoint reveals you region-wise or even country-wise reports. The marketing automation package from Wishpond is also very basic. Together with Aritic PinPoint, marketing automation forms the core. You get deep e mail segmentation based on lead behavior, events, stage in which the lead/customer is currently in with regards to the buyers' journey, and demographics like location, age, gender, joining date, etc.. Email campaigns are complex because of this comprehensive segmentation.
Additionally, Aritic PinPoint works on a multichannel approach towards promotion. It's possible to join and nurture your leads via emails, SMS campaigns, drive notifications, landing pages, mobile notifications, and societal media integrations. Wishpond has only SMS, landing pages, and emails. This brings us to the pricing department. Since Aritic PinPoint is much more advanced than Wishpond and contains a lot of features, it's more expensive. For an enterprise, Aritic PinPoint offers account-based marketing that's absent in Wishpond.
I Was naturally lured towards Shortstack by just looking at the price! Their services begin from zero and proceed on to $29 for your basic plan. The Enterprise plan at $499 gives you access to all the features. Shortstack provides only over 30 pre-design themes unlike the countless choices from Wishpond. Another severe lapse is the lack of real time testing for customized layouts. Another point of difference is, with Shortstack the amount of consumers or team members can also be strictly restricted to one. In circumstances where multiple users are wanted, a price of around $29 per month is achievable; unlike Wishpond that may provide a number of users with limited access to info.


How to avoid cycling injuries?
Warming-up, dynamic recovery and security measures are important for preventing injuries.
1. Warm up before the training.
2. Take a dynamic recovery and stretching exercises (Bradley Wiggins attaches great importance to the dynamic recovery) after the training and races.
3. The enhancement of cardiopulmonary function avoids fatigue and other injuries caused by excessive exercise.
4. Stretching exercises can improve muscle strength and joint softness to reduce the oppressions caused by training.
5. Learn correct riding skills to avoid excessive exercise and sports injuries caused by improper postures.

Paradise In the Midwest – Okoboji attracts generations of Omahans
June 8, 2018 leoadambiga	Leave a comment
©by Leo Adam Biga and Daisy Hutzell-Rodman
Originally appeared in May-June 2018 issue of Omaha Magazine (http://omahamagazine.com)
Some migratory Omahans make a tradition of flocking north to the freshwater oasis called Okoboji. This historic, former Native American encampment and hunting ground turned settler outpost and sport-commercial fishing haven in northwest Iowa features natural, glacier-carved lakes and plentiful beaches.
Okoboji, a 200-mile meander from the metro, has been an Iowa Great Lakes resort area for more than a century. Arrival of railroads in the early 1880s connected Dickinson County's lakes region to the outside world as never before. Hotels stores, boatyards, and other attractions sprang up, catering to train and steamboat travelers. The Okoboji Store dates back to 1884 and Mau Marine, which used to be called Wilson Boat Works, has operated since 1884.
The lure (then and now): pristine waters, plentiful fishing, and getting away from it all with friends and family. Okoboji has survived high and low water levels, floods (including the Great Flood of 1993), droughts, the Great Depression, world wars, and cultural shifts.
Patterson Cottage, built late 1800s. Became known as "The Haunted House." No longer standing.
Parasols and two-piece swimsuits gave way to Raybans, bikinis, and shorts. Big band swing bowed to rock 'n' roll. Instead of transistor radios and hard-bound books, sunbathers now sport smartphones and Kindles.
As the area gained popularity, homes sprouted and amenities grew in this Great Plains getaway. A steady stream of cars follows I-29 or Highway 71 toward tranquility on any weekend during the summer. The area includes a chain of six lakes and 70 miles of shoreline that welcome about 1 million visitors annually.
Water sports abound. Beaches and docks attract sunbathers. Picnics, backyard barbecues, and house concerts lazily unwind. Campsites and nature trails offer roughing-it adventures. Local locales offer amusement, from roller coasters to theatricals. Plentiful dining spots and bars complete the scene.
Many making the pilgrimage own lake houses there, thus making them part-time Okobojians. In the post-war era, parents of the baby-boom generation built small cabins. As those baby boomers came of age and made money themselves, they bought the smaller homes and remodeled them or tore them down for new homes. The part-timers mix easily with "originals" and "old-timers."
Denny Walker of Omaha long ago fell under Okoboji's spell.
"There's a real charm to it. You drive past cornfields and all of a sudden you get up to Okoboji and you're struck by the beauty of it—the lake coves, the oak trees lining the shores, the clearness of the water, the clean beaches."
Walker's enchantment goes back to family vacations as a kid. He now shows his children the magic.
"My dream was to have a home in Okoboji, and now I'm living my dream," says Walker, who built a cottage-style lake house with a big screened-in porch a decade ago.
His 'Boji fever sometimes starts before the season. Walker has hosted a "launch party" in Omaha at the hangar for his business, JetLinx, with Okoboji vendors and wares, as a season warmup.
He's also among pilgrims with deep stakes who give back by serving on local boards.
"I'm really involved in the community up there," Walker says. "It isn't a job for me, it's a passion, it's a love for Okoboji."
He is involved with beautifying the area and growing the art center's endowment.
He also leads the fundraising campaign for the three-phase, $12 million restoration of the Arnolds Park Amusement Park. The first phase was completed last year, with more parking and upgraded bathrooms. The Maritime Museum expansion is nearly complete. The Iowa Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame will be upgraded. And the historic Roof Gardens is slated to be restored next.
Floete Mansion became the Okoboji Club. Built in 1911, destroyed by fire 1951.
The vintage Arnolds Park Amusement Park celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2015, and it continues to serve nostalgic fun with its traditional midway, classic rides, wooden roller coaster (The Legend is one of the world's oldest wooden roller coasters, built in 1930), and Nutty Bars (the first Nutty Bar stand opened in 1945) much to the delight of all—including Omaha transplant Morris Caudle, who is watching a new generation experience the park with fresh eyes.
"My grandchildren, ages 12 and 14, announced to me [on Easter] that they had saved up their money so they can buy a season pass to Arnolds Park," Caudle says. A 2018 season pass ranges from $90-$160. "They were really excited…I was really pleased."
Caudle splits his time between Charleston, South Carolina, and the Okoboji home he built in 2007. Before building a home, he kept a condo at Okoboji. He's board chair for the art center, which, he says, "is a major part of the community with its robust programming all year long."
Omahan Julie Sudbeck comes from a family with roots going back four generations in the Iowa Great Lakes of Okoboji. Sudbeck grew up around the family business, White Oaks Bait Shop, which her parents bought in 1974. Julie herself worked as waitress at Koffee Kup Kafe at age 14, riding a moped to the job, and the next year as a "gas jockey" when her father was the general manager of Wilson Boat Works.
She and her parents moved to Omaha in 1987, but by 1989, they secured a summer place up north. After it flooded in 1993, the family rebuilt. Family members come from near and far to gather, often for long, lazy weekends before heading back to work and activities in Omaha. Julie can even take her great-nephews to the Koffee Kup Kafe for grilled ham and cheese or BLT sandwiches like those she once served to patrons.
Summers in Okoboji are a time for them to renew familiar bonds with shared activities.
Tudor House, Des Moines Beach. Still stands.
"It's very rare somebody goes off to do their own thing," Sudbeck says "It's more like, 'What are we all going to do?' And that's just it—we make the plans together, and we want to. That's what it's constantly about—the lake and your friends and family. You just can't replace it."
Speaking of their place on the lake, Sudbeck explains, "Where we live, there's a whole shoreline of family dwellers. It's their children and grandchildren. Everybody has a houseful. That is the common denominator—friends and family."
Years of escaping to the lakes have fostered strong feelings of attachment to Okoboji. Sudbeck's kids have never known summers without it.
"My children would be devastated if we didn't have the lake house," she says. "It's a huge part of their life. I don't think they've missed a Fourth of July in Okoboji."
Caudle likes the rituals that accompany life there.
"Our lake season typically starts with the melting of West Okoboji, usually in mid-March or early April," Caudle says. "Lake gulls show up for a feeding frenzy, joined later by white pelicans. It is a challenge to time our arrival just before the lake 'turns over' to see this spectacle of nature. As the days start getting longer and warmer, the opening process begins. Each family member has duties, and it is a race to see who gets their checklist completed first."
After that, daily rhythms set the schedule. Caudle also appreciates the therapeutic value of the place.
"Old-timers feel there's a magic to bathing in the lake. I do that from time to time. It's a good cure for a mild hangover," he says, adding, "I don't need my blood pressure medication when I'm at the lake immersed in that tranquility."
That laissez faire attitude transfers to even the most basic of needs. Dinnertime could be anything from a backyard barbecue with the family to a progressive dinner between many lakeshore residents.
Like Denny Walker, Caudle says he's "made it a point to befriend the locals, understand their priorities, particularly the environment."
Those priorities and those friends are part of how Okoboji keeps its charm. It's a step back to a simpler time, and, after three decades of engaging in activities and making friends, Caudle says he and his wife "are more than just 'summer people.'"
As far as Caudle's concerned, Okoboji will be in his family for generations to come.
"That's the plan. We would like our grandkids to have their grandkids to enjoy the things we do there."
Same for Walker, whose kids and grandkids already relate summer and holidays to time in Okoboji. He can't imagine a better sanctuary: "It's a trip back in time. It's a wonderful family place filled with memories."

A Whirling Dervish Named Jane: Riding RAGBRAI
August 2, 2016 leoadambiga	Leave a comment
Jane Reuss is a human perpetual motion machine. Anything that gets her moving and keeps her fit, she's on it. She loves notihng more than getting on her bicycle and going for dozens of mile. She's been doing it most of her life. A 60-70 mile roundtritp is routine for her. More challenging is the annual RAGBRAI ride across Iowa she makes. We were fortunate to catch her at rest for an interview before she raced off another of her jaunts. This is my Omaha Magazine (http://omahamagazine.com/) profile of her.
A Whirling Dervish Named Jane
Riding RAGBRAI

When the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) rolls around in July, Omahan Jane Reuss will saddle up with her Team Angry mates for the 15th consecutive year.
Reuss has cycled since childhood. Back then she would traverse the Interstate to Council Bluffs to get her Gitano serviced. Nowadays, she treks 80 miles on a single ride. She and her husband, Jerry, a retired Omaha firefighter, keep a getaway cabin in North Bend, Nebraska. The ride there takes four-and-a-half hours, but Reuss says it's a breeze.
Getting on a bike and going somewhere, anywhere, is her therapy.
"I just love it. It's like my time. Nobody can ask me anything," Reuss says. "I don't have to do anything except ride my bike, listen to music, or a book on tape. It's time off from my normal routine."
Reuss also golfs, swims, skis, and works out at the gym. Jerry joins her on shorter rides, and the pair play sand volleyball together.
"There are some mornings when I think I should just sleep in," she says. "But I don't know who I am if I can't be active."
Though she used to run, rollerblade, and even compete in women's triathlons, she prefers cycling now.
"It's a great, stress-free activity for any age, especially as you get older," Reuss says. "I'm seriously more comfortable on my bike than anywhere else."
For years she's commanded the road atop a Greg LeMond road model bicycle she's affectionately dubbed "Old Blue."
Reuss can't wait to do the week-long RAGBRAI again with riders she considers family.
"We do feel a real camaraderie. We do a lot of bike rides during the year away from RAGBRAI. We've gotten to be good friends," Reuss says.
Then there's the folks she encounters along the way.
"I love meeting people. The townsfolk are great," Reuss says. "It's a big party for them. They love us because we spend money."
She and fellow team members stay with host families while completing the 460-plus mile route.
Beyond the social aspects, Reuss enjoys testing her limits.
"I love the physicality of it. I love that I can do that," Reuss says. "I love the sense of community and accomplishment."
Not everything's ideal. She's waited out tornados in barns, slept in tight quarters on hard floors, and taken communal showers in school gyms. On one ride she took a hard fall that left her with a broken rib and punctured lung. After treatment, Reuss kept riding.
Reuss says she relishes challenges. Projects fill her garage and house.
"Thank goodness Jerry doesn't mind," she says. "He's very supportive."
In addition to bicycling, Reuss creates sculptures, often bicycle-themed, and works part-time at the Saddlebrook Branch of the Omaha Public Library. She sells her art at the Garden Gallery in Elkhorn, and even has a new commission to make a metal eagle for Eagle Run Golf Course.
In July, Reuss will be all geared up in jersey and gloves with a headband reading, "Not a sagger." Once again she will ride from sunrise to sundown atop "Old Blue," passing more than 400 miles of the Grant Wood landscapes called Iowa.
"I'm determined to do all the miles."

Mr Brashler converses with Studs about his research for the novel and the players he had spoken with to gather information for the book. The novel tells the story of a baseball team that revolts from a tyrannical Negro League owner and spends the 1939 season barnstorming around the Midwest. Includes two excerpts of a Cool Papa Bell interview talking about their travel as "barnstormers". Studs and Mr Brashler read several exchanges of dialogue from the book.

Jimmy Kimmel, Other Late-Night Hosts Respond To Las Vegas Shooting
Filed Under:James Corden, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Las Vegas, Mass Shooting, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert
CHICAGO (CBS) — Late-night hosts put aside comedy for the night and used their outlets on Monday to express their thoughts after what is being called the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.
Over 50 people were killed and more than 500 injured at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, when 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire from above at his hotel room on the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas native Jimmy Kimmel fought back tears on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" as he spoke about the massacre. He opened saying, "here we are again in the aftermath of another terrible, inexplicable, shocking and painful tragedy. This time in Las Vegas, that happens to be my hometown."
"We wonder why," he continued. "Even though there's probably no way to ever know why a human being would do something like this to other human beings who are at a concert having fun and listening to music."
After expressing his grief over the number of people dead and injured, Kimmel spoke about the shooter.
"The guy was an accountant, no criminal record," he said. "The owner of the store that sold the killer some of the rifles said he passed the government mandated background check when he was in the store and he wasn't on any watchlist. Didn't seem to be a religious or political extremist. Came out of nowhere."
RELATED: Who Is Las Vegas Shooting Suspect, Stephen Paddock?
Kimmel said he disagrees with people who say there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it.
"I disagree with that intensely, because of course there is something we can do about it. There's a lot of things we can do about it. But we don't which is interesting," he said.
"Second Amendment, I guess our Four Fathers wanted us to have AK-47s is the argument I assume."
Kimmel then called out lawmakers for failing to take action against gun violence.
"I don't know why our so-called leaders continue to allow this to happen. Or maybe a better question – why do we continue to let them to allow it to happen?" Kimmel said.
He called out press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for saying this is not the time for political debate, but he disagrees and said now is the time for political debate. He showed the faces of 56 senators who voted against stricter gun laws days after the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, which killed 49 people and is now the second-deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history.

"With all due respect, your thoughts and your prayers are insufficient," Kimmel said of government officials. "We have a major problem with gun violence in this country and I guess they don't care. And if I am wrong about that, fine do something about it, because I am sick of it."
"I want this to be a comedy show," Kimmel continued. "I hate talking about stuff like this. I just want to laugh about things every night. But it seems to becoming increasingly difficult lately. It feels like someone has opened a window into hell."
But Kimmel was not alone in using his stand to talk about the shooting.
Seth Meyers opened the "Late Night with Seth Meyers" by sending his thoughts to the families of the victims and his thanks to the first responders and to those in Las Vegas who lined up to donate blood.
"Every hour we hear more stories about the incredible bravery exhibited by people, who risked their lives to save strangers," Meyers said.
"It always seems like the worst displays of humanity in this country are immediately followed by the best. And then sadly that is followed by no actions at all. And then it repeats itself."
He asked a question to Congress: Are there no steps we can take as a nation to prevent gun violence? Or is this just how it is and how it's going to continue to be?
"Because when you say, which you always say, now is not the time to talk about it, what you really mean is, there is never a time to talk about it. And it would be so much more honest if you would just admit that your plan is to never talk about it and never take any action," Meyers continued.
Meyers then talked about Rep. Steve Scalise, who returned to the House floor after being shot himself in an attack at a Virginia baseball field. Scalise said his being alive is proof that "miracles really do happen."

"But is that the best plan D.C. has for dealing with gun violence? When there is a shooting we just pray for a miracle?" Meyers asked.
"If it's going to be thoughts and prayers from here on out, the least you can do is be honest about that," he said.
He concluded with a round of applause for first responders and all the heroes involved in the mass shooting.
Jimmy Fallon opened Monday night's episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" saying, "This morning we woke up to the news of another senseless shooting, this time in Las Vegas. In the face of tragedies and acts of terror, we need to remember that good still exists in this world."
He kept the purpose of the show – to entertain – and introduced guests, Miley Cyrus and Adam Sandler who sang a rendition of Dido's "No Freedom" as a tribute to the victims.
"We're here to entertain you tonight, and that's what we're gonna do," Fallon said.
At the end of the show, Miley Cyrus sang again, this time performing her 2009 song "The Climb" for the first time in years, as a message of hope.
Stephen Colbert started his late show by saying, "obviously this is a comedy show, but it is one that talks about what happens everyday. And today the national conversation is about the shooting in Las Vegas.
"And jokes aren't appropriate to address the shock and grief and the anger we all feel, but I do want to take a moment before we begin the show to say that, once again, we want to send our thoughts and prayers to the victims and the families and everyone who's hurt by this unimaginable cruelty."
Americans cannot accept this as the new normal, Colbert said. He brought up President Trump's comment on the shooting, calling it "pure evil" and Colbert agreed.
He posed the question: So what then, are we willing to do to combat pure evil?
The answer cannot be nothing, he said.
"The bar is so low right now. Congress can be heroes by doing literally anything: universal background checks or come up with a better answer, enforce Obama's executive order that denied mentally ill gun purchases, or a better answer, reinstate the assault weapons ban or come up with a better answer. Anything but nothing.
"Doing nothing is cowardice. Doing something will take courage…" Colbert said.
Calling out to President Trump, he said, "You want to make American great again? Do something the last two presidents haven't been able to do, pass any kind of common sense gun control legislation that the vast majority of Americans want.
"Because if we are facing pure evil, then, by all means, offer thoughts and prayers. But think about what you need to do, and then pray for the courage to do it," Colbert closed.
And finally on the "Late Late Show with James Corden" the host described the night and the feelings of those impacted by the shooting "something I cannot begin to imagine."
"We are hearing stories of bravery and heroism by the resilient fans at the concert, the first responders and medical professionals in Las Vegas. People lining up to give blood – lines that started just hours after the shooting, because that's what people do," Corden said.
"It's what they do in every city where a horrific attack takes place. Those will be far greater examples of true human nature than that shooter on the 32nd floor."
RELATED:Deadliest Mass Shootings In U.S. History
He stated that the Las Vegas shooting was the "deadliest mass shooting in modern American history" – a record that has been set twice in just the two and a half years he's been living in America. He stated another statistic: 11,660 people have died from gun violence in the last 275 days in the United States.
"I come from a place where we don't have shootings at this frequency, so it's hard for me to fathom," Corden said. "But it should be hard for everyone to fathom. Gun violence should not be a staple of American life. Some say it's too early to talk about gun control. For those victims last night, it's far too late."

Nissan's SUV of Texas, the all-new Armada, hovers in the 3-ton range, yet you would never get that impression when driving it. With its 4×4 system, the Armada rides over offroad courses without breaking a sweat. The Platinum interior trim makes the Armada feel much roomier than other SUVs in its class. And with a top price in the low $60s the Nissan Armada represents a good bang for your vehicular buck. Don't feel intimidated by the supersize-me dimensions; Nissan took great care in making sure the Armada is as easy to drive as its smaller crossover sibling, the Pathfinder.
The Armada is now based on the Nissan Patrol, so towing capacity is 8,500 pounds. The Armada we tested was optioned with the captain chair seating option for the rear seat. You can have the traditional bench seat or two captain's chairs that make you feel as if sitting in business class. And screens in the headrests mean that this luxury SUV can be used as a long-distance cruiser.
This vehicle was driven during the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. For details and a list of awards and winners, check out our post HERE. The Armada was named both the SUV of Texas and Full Size SUV of Texas.

Q: Python unit test: how to test function that calls other function? I am new to python. I want to test a function that takes raw inputs and calls another function base on the input. I know this can be tested using mock, but I don't know how.
My function is like this:
def show_main_menu(self):
    """shows main menu to user"""
    print '1:create account \t 2:Log in \t any other to exit \n'
    while True:
        try:
            option = int(raw_input('Enter your option: \t'))
        except ValueError:
            print 'please enter valid input \n'
            continue
        else:
            break
    if option == 1:
        self.add_account()
        print '\n ***successfully created account***\n'
        self.menu_post_transaction()
    elif option == 2:
        self.login()
    else:
        print 'Thank you for using our services'
        exit()

How can I test this function using unittest?

A: main menu module:
import unittest
from your_tests_directory import add_account_test, login_test

def menu():
    loader = unittest.TestLoader()
    suite = unittest.TestSuite()

    option = int(raw_input('Enter your option: \t'))
    if option == 1:
       module = add_account_test
    else:
        module = login_test

    suite.addTest(loader.loadTestsFromModule(module))
    unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    menu()

add_account_test module:
import unittest
from other_module import add_account, menu_post_transaction

class AddAccountTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_account(self):
        add_account()
        print '\n ***successfully created account***\n'
        menu_post_transaction()

login_test module:
import unittest
from other_module import login

class LoginTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_login(self):
        login()

in 'other_module' you will put all of the actual functions...

A: It could something like this:
from unittest.mock import patch
from unittest import TestCase

@patch('yourmodule.show_main_menu', return_value='1')
def test_answer_one(self, input):
    self.assertEqual(show_main_menu(), '\n ***successfully created account***\n')

@patch('yourmodule.show_main_menu', return_value='5')
def test_answer_five(self, input):
    self.assertEqual(show_main_menu(), 'Thank you for using our services')

A: I would strongly suggest you refactor your code a bit to make it testable, by just extracting the raw_input related code to a function, you wont need to mock anything, and _get_raw_input() will be reusable.
While testing you just have to pass your own function in the get_option argument which simply returns an arbitrary option.
PS: show_main_menu function could be renamed in something like launch_action
#!/usr/bin/env python2
# coding=utf-8

def _get_raw_input(prompt):
   while True:
       try:
           return int(raw_input(prompt))
       except ValueError:
           print 'please enter valid input \n'
           continue
       else:
           break

class Foo:
    def menu_post_transaction(self): print 'menu_post_transaction'
    def add_account(self): print "### 1. add_account"
    def login(self): print "### 2. login"

    def show_main_menu(self, get_option=_get_raw_input):
            """shows main menu to user"""
            print '1:create account \t 2:Log in \t any other to exit \n'
            option = get_option('Enter your option: \t')
            if option == 1:
                self.add_account()
                print '\n ***successfully created account***\n'
                self.menu_post_transaction()
            elif option == 2:
                self.login()
            else:
                print 'Thank you for using our services'

if __name__ == "__main__":

    Foo().show_main_menu(lambda _: 1)
    Foo().show_main_menu(lambda _: 2)
    Foo().show_main_menu(lambda _: 3)

This a general good practice independent to the language.

Q: How to pick data from array and create a single Object from it? I want to create a single object from an array of objects. Please refer the code provided.
Here's the input array
let queryArr = [
  {
    query: {
        filter: {
          term: {
            search: 'complete',
          }
        }
    }
  },
  {
    query: {
        notFilter: {
          term: {
            search: 'failed',
          }
        }
    }
  },
  {
    query: {
      bool: {
          term: {
            search: 'complete',
          }
      }
    }
  }
]

The expected output
let oneQuery = {query: {
      bool: { ... },
      filter: { ... },
      notFilter: { ... } // data from respective array object key
    }};

The function I wrote
function createQuery(arr){
  for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
    if(Object.keys(arr[i].query === 'bool')){
       oneQuery.query.bool = arr[i].query.bool;
    }
    if(Object.keys(arr[i].query === 'filter')){
       oneQuery.query.filter = arr[i].query.filter;
    }
    if(Object.keys(arr[i].query === 'notFilter')){
       oneQuery.query.notFilter = arr[i].query.notFilter;
    }
  }
  return oneQuery;
}
createQuery(queryArr);

The output I'm getting:
query: {
   bool: { ... },
   filter: undefined,
   notFilter: undefined
}

I don't get what I'm doing wrong here. A solution using reduce or map will be preferred.

A: Use Array.map() to get an array with the contents of each query property, then spread into Object.assign() to combine to a single object:

const queryArr = [{"query":{"filter":{"term":{"search":"complete"}}}},{"query":{"notFilter":{"term":{"search":"failed"}}}},{"query":{"bool":{"term":{"search":"complete"}}}}];

const createQuery = (arr) => ({
  query: Object.assign({}, ...queryArr.map(({ query }) => query))
});

console.log(createQuery(queryArr));

To fix your code, initialize the query item, and get the 1st key from each item in the array - arr[i].query)[0]:

const queryArr = [{"query":{"filter":{"term":{"search":"complete"}}}},{"query":{"notFilter":{"term":{"search":"failed"}}}},{"query":{"bool":{"term":{"search":"complete"}}}}]

function createQuery(arr){
  const oneQuery = { query: {} };

  for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
    if(Object.keys(arr[i].query)[0] === 'bool'){
       oneQuery.query.bool = arr[i].query.bool;
    }
    if(Object.keys(arr[i].query)[0] === 'filter'){
       oneQuery.query.filter = arr[i].query.filter;
    }
    if(Object.keys(arr[i].query)[0] === 'notFilter'){
       oneQuery.query.notFilter = arr[i].query.notFilter;
    }
  }
  return oneQuery;
}
console.log(createQuery(queryArr));

A: You problem seems to be this line
Object.keys(arr[i].query === 'filter')

This evaluates to Object.keys(true) or Object.keys(false)
Use reduce
queryArr.reduce( (acc, c) => (
   acc[ Object.keys(c.query)[0] ] = Object.values(c.query)[0],  //set the first key and value to accumulator
   acc ), //return the accumulator
