A: I would recommend using Docker (https://www.docker.com/) container for incapsulating your Dart app.
Here is a good example on how to "dockerize" Dart application: http://www.nkode.io/2014/03/05/dockerize-dart.html
So in general:

*

*You add a Dockerfile like this: https://github.com/nkratzke/containerdart/blob/master/Dockerfile to your application

*Run/Test your application locally via docker run ...

*When you're ready, deploy app to your server, and add autostart of your docker container as it described here: https://docs.docker.com/articles/host_integration/
This method will allow you to develop on any OS (Docker uses VMs  for non-linux OSes), and be sure that your app will work on your production server.
Actually it is much simpler than it sounds, but unify process, so you can easily host your app on any "docker-friendly" hosting, not only DigitalOcean, but also Amazon EC2, Google Compute, or even Microsoft's Azure.

Is online purchasing impacted by social media?
Home / Author Adam Houlahan / Is online purchasing impacted by social media?
According to many market research reports for online purchasing, social media may limit direct sales, with some studies finding only a rate of 1-5 per cent of ecommerce sales are directly attributed to selling through social media. But don't be fooled: Social media marketing has an enormous role to play in supplementing and triggering the sales process.
While it may be true that social media's bearing on direct sales may be limited, its influence on the customer journey through product awareness, consideration and intent can't be denied. Social media, put simply, is a powerful tool for influencing the purchase process.
78 per cent of consumers are likely to consider online purchasing based on referrals via social media.
40 per cent of social media users have purchased after liking or sharing an item on Facebook or Twitter; 80 per cent of these purchases occur within three weeks of the instigation of the social activity.
More than 40 per cent of purchases of items "happened upon" and triggered by social media are impulse purchases.
Social media channels are powerful tools for product discovery and identification of purchase locations.
Twitter highly influences technology and electronics purchases; 90 per cent of social media users watch online videos about the tech products they purchase.
Facebook is a key influencer of fashion and beauty purchases, as well as books.
Almost 40 per cent of new mothers will purchase from brands that other women follow and favourably respond to on Facebook.
To solve a problem or fill a need – to ultimately avoid loss or pain.
For pleasure – including personal enjoyment and maintaining an image.
Those best at modern marketing practices will use social media to influence consumer buying decisions by appealing to either (or both) of these reasons for buying. By demonstrating how a brand's product or service will fill a need, solve a problem, give pleasure or maintain a desired image, consumers will sit up and take notice. When the marketers are very clever, the consumer will decide they can't live without (or don't want to live without) what is being sold, and will take positive steps to close the deal.
The psychology of buying and online purchasing is both a science and an art. Buyers make purchases based on emotion, whether they are conscious of this fact or not. The hemispheres of the brain work together to influence decision-making; the intuitive and subjective right brain, along with the analytical and logical left brain. Emotions, for example, are drivers of impulse purchases. By understanding why people buy, as a marketer you can apply this knowledge to social media.
Why do consumers love social media?
Consumers use social media for an array of reasons; from a consumer perspective, social media marketing (link to blog on Social media for B2B marketing from this month) is incredibly valuable and consumers look to social channels and follow their favourite brands to educate themselves regarding products and services; keep up with the latest trends; leverage promotions; join communities of likeminded fans of favoured brands; provide feedback; link to websites and online stores to complete purchases; and make service or product inquiries and complaints.
Via social media, brands can reach and capture a wide and almost infinite global audience. It is a goldmine for consumers, allowing them to share product information and make better-informed decisions about their buying activities. It allows consumers to keep up with the latest trends, gain feedback on online purchasing considerations, and make informed decisions when it comes to completing their purchase. A vast majority of consumers who also use social media admit to being influenced by the social online activities of their favourite brands, as well as the recommendations and opinions of family, friends, and colleagues.
Vendors need to establish authority and trust in the consumer, and there is no more effective way to do so than via social media channels. Additionally, the influence of the purchasing practices of friends and family, and their opinions, can't be overstated for many consumers. Human beings, to a very large extent, have a crowd (or "sheep") mentality; a majority of people will follow the pack rather than forge their own path. This is why branding works so effectively. If a consumer sees their peers (or the focus of their aspiration) favour a particular brand or product, they too will frequently be convinced to follow suit and put their cash on the table. Social media channels are the biggest showcase of what our peers love and how they live.
What are the benefits of selling via social media?
Promotion of brand awareness – potentially growing a fan base and customer pool exponentially.
Enhanced customer loyalty by building a more personal relationship between vendor and consumer.
Overcoming reluctance of customer to complete the sales process – word of mouth is much more powerful than traditional advertising.
Supporting and enhancing the results of search engine optimisation (SEO) activities.
Provision of insights into marketing considerations.
Social media is a big influencer of online purchasing decisions, offering product discovery and brand awareness, additional product information, identification of purchase location, product recommendations, purchase reminders and sale or product alerts.
Converse and engage on a personal level with your existing customers and followers. Offer sincerity and create an emotional connection with your audience.
Ensure no more than 20 per cent of your social content is a direct sales pitch.
Improve your Facebook page by customising it for your brand, creating content that incorporates images, videos and links to blogs, and information that is appealing and of value to your followers. Create events, contests, free giveaways and other incentives. Add buttons to your website so customers and visitors can like or follow your social profile without leaving your website.
Be present and responsive – check your profile for time-sensitive comments, messages and feedback on at least a daily basis. Reply calmly to negative feedback and address issues promptly as they arise.
Encourage reviews and reward interaction and sharing.
Listen to and observe your audience (link to blog on Do's and Don'ts of Social Media Engagament) and their activity on your profile – and deliver more of what they want.
Track and measure the outcomes of your social media campaign.
While selling through social media is not a direct transaction in most cases, the influence of social media on consumer activity is profound. Having a clear and well-planned social media strategy is the key to positioning your brand at the top of the ever-growing pack, whatever your niche is. When used properly, the right social media channel can be a genuine treasure trove for your business.
If want to step up your social media efforts this year, now is the perfect time to get your social media strategy together. Intimate knowledge of social media advertising trends results in a successful social media marketing strategy. This translates to a broader advertising reach, exponential growth in your customer base, higher consumer interest, interaction and satisfaction, and, ultimately, greater profits for your business.
Meanwhile, if you are one of many thousands of people looking to step up your usage of LinkedIn, did you know we offer a free LinkedIn eCourse? To help you get the most out of the platform for your business, if LinkedIn is your preferred social media channel, we'd love to offer you this course.


Executive Director of SCCANZ Adam Beck explains, "we have been working up the idea that social wellbeing could become the superior framework for smart cities action and investment, and after many years of pre-work, including this Australian study, we are sharing our approach".
Further, Beck says "not only have we assembled a suite of tools to realise this idea, but we have assembled a world leading team to support government and industry stakeholders embrace this approach to smart cities action".

Pilots union pushes for sell-out of Air France pilots strike
By Alex Lantier and Stéphane Hugues
After Prime Minister Manuel Valls' extraordinary public denunciation of striking Air France pilots on Friday, Air France's largest pilots' union issued a statement Sunday capitulating and calling on pilots to end their 14-day strike, the longest in Air France's history.
The majority National Union of Airline Pilots (SNPL) is ordering pilots back to work empty-handed. Pilots had demanded assurances that the growth of low-cost Air France subsidiaries like Transavia-France would not lead to cuts in wages or working conditions, and that pilots would have one contract covering all the corporation's subsidiaries. Not only has Air France given no such assurance, it is openly declaring its intention to force deep cuts on pilots by making them fly at Transavia-France or whatever other low-cost airline Air France sets up in the future.
The minority Union of Air France Pilots (SPAF), representing 20 percent of the work force, is calling for strike action to continue until October 2. Initial estimates yesterday showed that roughly half of Air France flights would still be grounded by the strike.
The protocol agreement issued by Air France scraps a 2007 agreement on relations between Air France and Transavia-France, limiting Transavia-France's fleet to 14 jetliners. It specifies that pilots on Transavia-France flights must work at prevailing wages and conditions at Transavia-France, "to ensure the latter's competitiveness."
The Socialist Party (PS) government and Air France both claimed victory and boasted that they had forced pilots back to work on management's terms. Attacking pilots for waging an "overly long" strike, Valls congratulated himself that "[t]he firm line of the government allowed us to reaffirm the company's development strategy," adding that Transavia France "represents an undeniable asset in the rapidly-growing low cost market."
Air France-KLM CEO Alexandre de Juniac made clear that management is planning on moving ahead rapidly to trim pilot costs in line with Air France's low-cost rivals. "We will now be able to turn to the development of Transavia in France with the goals we had planned," he said. "We will finally be able to compete on equal terms with our low-cost competitors. This reform is vital."
The SNPL admitted that pilots could not accept the protocol "because of the uncertainty created by the double contract situation, given the existing accords in each company; because of the potential social instability inherent in the decision to force two groups of pilots to compete with one another; because there are too few guarantees given the concessions that have been demanded; because equity for future hires, whether on A320 or B737 [jetliners] is not guaranteed; finally, because protections are insufficiently precise to guarantee availability of work."
Nonetheless, the SNPL argued that it had no choice but to order pilots back to work, cynically trying to cover up its betrayal by declining to sign the protocol issued by the company. Its letter to the pilots admitted that there would be substantial opposition among the strikers to their decision.
The pilots' union wrote, "We had three options: first, to continue negotiating and striking beyond 14 days to improve the deal, but this was impossible given the stubborn positions we encountered; to sign the deal and end the strike, which was impossible given the implications of this protocol for the future of the profession; refuse to sign, quit the strike and calm the situation down. This was the responsible option we chose. We know very well that some of you will reproach us for this decision. But union leaders must know how to stop a strike when it will produce no more advances."
The SNPL's cowardly claim that the strike is condemned to defeat due to the stubbornness of Air France and the PS is a fraud. Not only is the PS government weak, highly unpopular and afraid of a sudden shift in public opinion in support of the pilots, but the SNPL's own communiqué makes clear that Air France is desperate to end the strike, which has cost it hundreds of millions of euros.
"It is our duty to preserve the future of our company and bandage its wounds before irreversible damage is done," the SNPL states, adding that the unions have a critical role to play in pushing through restructuring plans on Air France workers: "Management cannot develop Transavia France alone. It cannot put through its 'Perform 2020' plan alone."
If Air France faces "irreversible" financial damage from the strike, this means that strikers are in a strong position. Precisely at this moment, however, the union is declaring its willingness to end the strike and work with management to carry out attacks on the workers it falsely claims to represent.
The pilots are at a crossroads. If they end the strike now, management will wage brutal attacks to recoup the hundreds of millions of euros they have lost and make an example of the pilots to discourage strikes by other sections of workers.
The pilots face a political struggle against the PS government and Air France, to rally broader sections of the workforce against the PS' hated austerity agenda and respond to the unions' attempt to sell out their strike by taking the struggle out of the SNPL's hands.
The first significant workers' struggle against the PS has rapidly come up directly against the bankruptcy of the union bureaucracies and pseudo-left groups who called for the election of PS President François Hollande in 2012. The bureaucrats in France's national union federations have completely isolated the strike, while issuing reactionary denunciations of the pilots as privileged troublemakers. Pseudo-left parties like the New Anti-capitalist Party have made no move to support the pilots. These forces are all exposed as tools of the anti-worker PS government.
Valls brutally intervened in the strike last week: "This strike must end. This strike is intolerable for customers. This strike is intolerable for the company, Air France. This strike is intolerable for the country's economy."
The prime minister's hysteria reflects real fears in the ruling class that a broader movement in the working class in support of the pilots could erupt and bring down the Hollande administration, which is at a record-breaking low approval rating of 13 percent in the polls.
It is the fear of such a development, and not the supposedly hopeless situation facing the strike, that is driving France's union officialdom to press for a sell-out of the strike.

Toppled UK statue of slave trader quietly replaced with sculpture of Black Lives Matter protester
By Erric Ravi on July 15, 2020
An unapproved sculpture of a Black Lives Matter dissident has been raised on the base where a landmark respecting British slave broker Edward Colston once stood.
The life-size sap and steel similarity of Jen Reid, who was shot on June 7 remaining on the unfilled base after demonstrators pulled down the Colston sculpture and dumped it in Bristol's harbor, went up before day break Wednesday without endorsement from city authorities.
"I think it's amazing," Reid said. "It looks like it belongs there. It looks like it's been there forever."
Colston was a seventeenth century dealer who made a fortune moving subjugated Africans over the Atlantic to the Americas on Bristol-based boats. His cash supported schools and noble cause in Bristol, 120 miles southwest of London.
The bringing down of Colston's sculpture happened during fights started by the demise of George Floyd — however Bristol's civic chairman recommended Wednesday that the new model of Reid may not keep awake for long.
"To this end, the future of the plinth and what is installed on it must be decided by the people of Bristol,"" Marvin Rees said in an announcement, including that the choice will be "critical to building a city that is home to those who are elated at the statue being pulled down, those who sympathize with its removal but are dismayed at how it happened and those who feel that in its removal, they've lost a piece of the Bristol they know, and therefore themselves."
Bristol, we love you. #blacklivesmatter 📸 @biggiesnug Power is knocking the statue of a slave trader off its pedestal and throwing it into the very harbour he docked his slave ships.
A post shared by BRICKS (@bricks_magazine) on Jun 8, 2020 at 1:33am PDT
"The sculpture that has been installed today was the work and decision of a London based artist," Rees said. "It was not requested and permission was not given for it to be installed."
After the Colston sculpture was tossed in the harbor, city authorities fished it out and said it would be set in a historical center, alongside bulletins from the Black Lives Matter showing.
The new statue, meanwhile, is called "A Surge of Power (Jen Reid)".
Marc Quinn, the craftsman behind it, said Reid had "created the sculpture when she stood on the plinth and raised her arm in the air."
"Now we're crystallizing it," he included.

Arrest Made for Fatal Stabbing in Hollywood

On Tuesday evening, a 23 year old woman was fatally stabbed by three people. Police initially did not know who was responsible, but on Wednesday they arrested the culprits.
Three panhandlers are being held accountable at this point. They are currently detained and face criminal charges for the slaying of Christine Darlene Calderon.
Calderon was in Hollywood with a friend and while she took photos of the stars on the "Walk of Fame," she was assaulted by the three. According to the police report, Calderon was harassed by the three because she was taking photos in their area without paying money.
She was then stabbed in the torso. Police found her bleeding on the street from multiple stab wounds at Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue around 8:30 p.m. This is a commonly used area for homeless beggars or street performers as the tourist traffic is heavy.
Calderon was taken to a nearby hospital; however, her injuries were too severe and she died there.
Her death is an unfortunate reminder of how dangerous it can be on the streets, even if they are surrounded by other people.
If you or someone you know has been injured in any type of accident, contact a Los Angeles injury attorney who can assist you with identifying negligence, filing claims; and can ensure that you receive the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered, including punitive damages in the event of serious injury or death.

On June 24, 2012, Rocky Martin was riding his bike and hit a pedestrian. The victim was injured in the accident and now Martin has pleaded guilty to assault.
Martin was riding east on Santa Monica Boulevard at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California prior to the accident. He then ran a red light on his bicycle and struck a person crossing the street.
The victim who was not identified suffered serious injuries.
Now, almost a year later, Martin has received his sentencing. He will serve three years on felony probation and 30 days of community services for his actions.
Though Los Angeles is heavily reliant on vehicles for transportation, bicycling is becoming much more prominent, especially in areas like Santa Monica. The police claim that they are cracking down on bicycle infractions to ensure safety of the others around riders.
Santa Monica Police Sergeant Richard Lewis states that the department plans to "focus on bicycle violations" from July through September to decrease these types of incidents.
If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident, whether in a vehicle, on a bike, or on foot, contact a Los Angeles accident attorney. A lawyer will assist you with identifying negligence, filing insurance claims; and can ensure that you receive the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered, including punitive damages in the event of serious injury or death.

Interstate 110 and State Route 110 (California) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Los Angeles is about to experience more inconvenient driving this week, beginning Tuesday evening. Parts of the 405 Freeway through the Sepulveda Pass will be closed in order to address the work that needs to be done on the Skirball Bridge.
Freeway ramps will begin closing at 7:00 p.m., and some lanes will be closed by 10:00 p.m. The full closure is expected to be completed by midnight and will reopen at approximately 5:00 a.m.
The working crews will install girders during the closure, beginning in stages for the southbound lanes.
On the northbound side, the same areas will be closed beginning Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. Those closures will be in effect Wednesday and Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. as well on Friday morning from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
The Skirball Bridge will be closed each night from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., but Sepulveda Boulevard will remain open for the duration of the work.
The 405 Freeway is a major highway for Los Angeles travelers, so it is important to know how this may affect you. Find alternate routes, such as Sepulveda Boulevard; and allow yourself extra time for commuting.
It is also vital to remain alert and safe as you may be driving new routes with which you are not familiar. If you happen to be involved in an accident, contact a Los Angeles injury attorney who will assist you with identifying negligence, filing claims; and can ensure that you receive the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered, which is a major step toward your recovery.

Orange County Accident Injures Sheriff Deputy
Orange County Sheriff's Department (California) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Early Monday morning, an Orange County Sheriff's Department deputy was injured in an auto accident after he was ejected from his vehicle.
The collision occurred around 3:00 a.m. in Mission Viejo. The deputy's police vehicle struck a pole on Marguerite Parkway and Alarcon and was removed from the car.
Officials have not released the identity of the victim at this point. He was immediately taken to Mission Hospital to be treated for unknown injuries. Though based on the conditions of the accident, his injuries are likely serious; however, he is expected to survive.
The accident is still under investigation at this point, but the scene has been cleared. There were no other vehicles involved in the crash and no other injuries have been reported.
In most cases, an ejected victim leads to more unfortunate outcomes. This deputy is quite lucky to have only sustained injuries from the collision.
If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident, contact an Orange County Accident Attorney who will assist you with identifying negligence, filing claims; and can ensure that you receive the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered, including punitive damages in the event of a fatality.

Fatal Accident in Pico Rivera
English: Pico Rivera Library – County of Los Angeles Public Library (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Thursday night, three people were killed in an accident in Pico Rivera. The collision was caused by a speeding driver.
A Honda Civic was traveling northbound on San Gabriel River Parkway in the 3500 block. A 22-year-old man was driving the Civic, and had a female and three children as passengers.
The Civic was going very fast while on a curve and was then forced over the line onto the southbound side of the parkway. The Civic then crashed head-on into a Nissan Sentra.
Los Angeles Sheriff's Department officials arrived at the accident and began conducting the investigation.
The Civic driver and two boys, ages 11 and 13, died at the scene as they were ejected from the vehicle. The woman in the front seat and the third child were both taken to the hospital in critical condition. According to the police, the driver was taking the kids home after a party.
Two women were in the Nissan that was hit in the collision. They were both rushed to a hospital with serious injuries.
The fatal accident occurred around 8:45 p.m. by the 605 freeway. None of the victims' identities has been released at this point and their conditions are still unknown.
The accident is still under investigation; however, there is no doubt that speed is a major factor in this crash.
If you or someone you know has been in an accident, contact a Los Angeles Accident Attorney who can assist you with filing claims; and can ensure that you receive the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered, including punitive damages in the event of a death.

More Gun Fire in Santa Monica
English: Santa Monica College Boardwalk, 2011. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Los Angeles grieves for those affected by the Friday shooting at Santa Monica College. And its grief must now be extended as more victims have been added to the list of the city's shootings.
Early Tuesday morning, just blocks away from the anguished college, police responded to a report of shots fired. Two men were taken to the hospital.
The shooting occurred on the 1500 block of Michigan Avenue and police arrived around 8:20 a.m.
Each victim was in serious condition and were both taken for medical operations. However, one man has died due to his injuries. The other victim's current condition is unknown.
According to the police, the suspect was possibly driving a blue Infiniti. The shooter approached the two men in an alley and began firing shots at them and then left.
Police are still investigating the attack and searching for the suspect and the vehicle.
Friday's shooting in Santa Monica was conducted by John Zawahri, a 23-year-old former student of the college. He first went to his childhood home and killed his father and brother. He then traveled to the campus where he killed three more victims and injured others until police came bearing arms. Zawahri was shot and died later from the injuries.
Los Angeles can only hope that the police apprehend this new shooter and the two men and their families receive justice.
If you or someone you know has been injured in any type of accident, contact a Los Angeles Injury Attorney who can assist you with identifying negligence, filing claims; and receiving the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered, including punitive damages in the event of fatalities.

Stranger Saves Two Children's Lives
Collins Lake, Spring 2004 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Over the weekend, a woman was vital in the rescue of two children at Collins Lake, California. More interesting is that she had no affiliation with them prior to the incidences.
Lori Carpenter is from Yuba City, California. She and her husband were at the lake this weekend, enjoying the break. He was in the water and rushed to his wife after he had seen a child in danger.
David Cole remembers the event and recalls how he ran out of the water and yelled, "Lori, Lori, Lori go help that girl!" There was a crowd around a young child who had evidently struggled in the water. Carpenter pushed though and then administered CPR to the three year old girl.
Once she was revived, the family crowded around the toddler and Carpenter edged away from the scene. No one involved had learned her name or had even be able to properly thank her as she escaped so quickly.
As if that was not enough, Carpenter rushed to assist once more with another kid. 45 minutes she saved the three year old, she was attempting to save a thirteen year old girl. According to Carpenter, the teenager was unresponsive for several minutes and had a weak pulse.
She was yelling the girl's name and splashing water on her face for bit and then she had finally come around. Once again, Carpenter left the scene as the child was embraced by her friends and family.
Carpenter's identity was revealed by her proud parents. She explains how she is just "a regular person who knew what to do at the right moment." Indeed she did; she had just completed her CPR class three days before the accidents.
Friends, family, and those who were present for her saving lives all call her a hero and an angel.
The two children were quite fortunate to have a woman like Lori Carpenter around after their accidents. Not all situations turn out this way, though. If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident, contact a Los Angeles Injury Attorney today to receive assistance with identifying negligence, filing claims; and to receive the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered, including punitive damages in the event of a fatality.

All Elderly Passengers Escape Limo Fire
English: Lincoln Town Car Limousine (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
On Sunday morning, in Walnut Creek, California, ten women successfully evacuated a limousine after it had caught fire. This accident occurred just a little over a month after the limousine fire that claimed the lives of five female nurses in the San Francisco Bay area.
Many of the women who escaped the flames were in their 90s. According to the report, they were all traveling to Sonoma to celebrate a friend's 96th birthday.
According to the passengers' statements, the driver told the women to exit the vehicle and the first ones out assisted the others who could not move as quickly. They were dependent on canes and walkers. Once they were all outside of limo, the passengers smelled smoke and seconds later, the flames erupted.
Fire crews arrived around 11:35 a.m. and were able to quickly extinguish the fire. The cause of the fire is still being investigated; however, the car's electrical system is a likely cause at this point. The owner, Claudius Oliveira explains how the car is new, is maintained, and has been inspected; so the issue is the fault of the manufacturer.
The actual cause of the fire will not be immediately known, but the fact that they all were able to leave the vehicle without any injury is amazing. Many times, such as the one at the beginning of May, passengers are not as lucky.
If you or someone you know has been in an accident, contact an Orange County-based Accident Attorney today. A lawyer can assist you in identifying negligence, filing claims, and can ensure that you receive the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered.

Federal Plan to Decrease Distracted Driving
Distracted driving (Photo credits: www.smartsign.com)
Texting while driving is illegal in California, as well as other states; however, people are continuing to fiddle with their phones while stopped at a red light or worse, while in motion. The federal government has a plan to eliminate the distraction to increase general safety for drivers, but it will take a really great technology development and time.
More than 3,000 people are killed each in year in America from distracted drivers. That accounts for about ten percent of the fatalities caused by vehicular collisions. Though states can pass laws and police officers can issue tickets, there is no way to ensure that drivers keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road; but the government is working hard to get there.
The ultimate solution would be to make it impossible to send a text message or update social media while driving. The government is working with automobile manufacturers to create a technological obstruction, one that would deactivate the mobile device upon attempted usage in a car. The vehicle would sense the driver attempting to text or browse Facebook and would immediately shut it down. Though this idea seems outlandish and maybe impossible to some critics, advances thus far in the technology world have already proven that so many ideas can realistically be executed.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has made a proposition that outlines its ideas for restricting distracted driving. The key objective is to limit the amount of time a driver removes his/her hands from the wheel or his/her eyes from the road. The Administration wants car manufacturers to make it impossible to enter text for messaging and browsing while the car is in motion; and to disable video and social media content from being displayed.
A large issue that the NHTSA will face is that the change will require full participation from drivers; and if the pairing is not done easily, then drivers will opt out of it and continue to use their handhelds illegally. This is why it is looking for an innovative technological idea that will embed it within the car requiring compliance beyond being aware of it at the time of purchase.
This change may be inconvenient for some drivers; however, it could also save thousands of lives each year. Though distractions come in more forms than cell phones, it is likely that removing this specific diversion will reduce the amount of accidents that occur in the country.
Accidents are an unfortunate part of our lives. If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident, whether it was caused by a distracted driver or something else; contact an Orange County Accident Attorney today. A lawyer can assist you in identifying negligence, filing claims; and can ensure that you receive the highest possible compensation for the damages that you have suffered, including punitive damages in the event of a fatality.

Young Boy Killed by Iron Gate
Alms Houses #3 (Photo credit: stevecadman)
In Citrus Heights, California, a five year old boy was killed after a sliding security gate fell on him.
Jason Kolyadich was pulling on the wrought iron gate to close it after a guest was leaving his house when the tragedy occurred. His uncle heard his screams and immediately ran out to him to see what had happened.
The gate was put up in front of the house five or six years ago and the family has never had an issue with it before. Sergeant David Moranz of the Citrus Heights Police Department explains how in his 22 years as a police officer, this is only the second time that an accident like this has occurred.
The case is still under investigation; however, at this time there do not appear to be any broken pieces connected to the gate. Relatives of the victim believe that a back stopper may have been bent and that permitted the gate to come off of the track.
The gate that fell on the child is estimated to weigh between 250 and 400 pounds; five year old boys like Jason usually weigh about 40 pounds. There was no way that he could have held up that gate by himself once it escaped the track.
Law enforcement officers do not feel that there was any criminal activity involved in the child's death; however, they are still looking into the reasons why the gate malfunctioned.
Accidents like this are terribly unfortunate and sometimes impossible to prevent. If you or someone you know has been injured or killed in any type of accident, contact a Sacramento Accident Attorney today. A lawyer can assist you in identifying negligence, filing claims; and can award to you the highest possible compensation, including punitive damages in the event of a fatality.

Q: Voltage across Zener diode Let's consider this simple circuit

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
with
$$V_S = 15 \ V$$
$$R_S = 500 \ \Omega$$
$$V_Z = 5.1 \ V$$
$$R_L = 1 \ k\Omega$$
It can be described by the system of equations
$$V_S = R_S (I_Z + I_L) + V_Z$$
$$V_S = R_S (I_Z + I_L) + R_L I_L$$
where \$V_S, R_S, V_Z, R_L\$ are constant and only \$I_L, I_Z\$ are unknown.
Supposing that the Zener diode is inversely biased, voltage at node A will always be the Zener voltage \$V_Z = 5.1 \ V\$ and with these values \$I_L = 5.1 \ mA\$ and \$I_Z = 14.7 \ mA\$. If the resistance \$ R_L \$ is decreased, the value of \$I_L\$ will raise and \$ I_Z \$ will be lower. The limit condition is when \$ R_L = R_L^* \$ is so small that it requires \$ I_L = I_S \$ and the Zener branch has no current.
What does happen if \$ R_L \$ is lowered beneath \$ R_L^* \$ ?
What assumptions should be followed to write new equations? How would the Zener diode behave and how can it be considered?

A: Simply apply kirchoffs current law - Is = IL
The zener is, for all practical purposes, removed the circuit since Iz = 0 and the circuit reduces to a potential divider where Vout = Vin * RL/(RL + Rs)


You may not have the perfect bathroom, but there are various ways of sprucing up this space. It may be small or spacious, unusual or awkward in your place, but just putting the few essentials and bathroom décor pieces right can help make it organized and functional. So, if you don't have that fabulous bathroom, but want to make the best use of the existing one, then below are some tips that will come handy.
1. Shower Curtains: To make the bathroom space beautiful, add shower curtains. Adding colours and texture can be the best way, to give a completely new and swanky feel to space. You can try this trick in your old bathroom and give it a refreshing feel. Shower curtains will not only help compartmentalize the bathing space but add to the décor factor. You can look for shower curtains in different prints and colours, and indulge in a tropical oasis, every day.
2. Shower Rod: Along with the shower curtains, changing the shower rod will help complete the look and give a refined touch. There are a lot of options in shower rods too in terms of colour and finishing. So, you can sync it with the curtain colour and give the bathroom a coordinated appearance. Choosing the right curtain hardware will not only accentuate the look of the curtains but will also hold the curtain gracefully.
3. Laundry Sorter: In addition to these décor means, it is essential to organize the bathroom and one thing, which needs attention is the laundry. With laundry scattered on the bathroom floor, it will look cluttered and shabby. This is where a laundry sorter can come to your aid. All worn garments can be neatly kept in this laundry bag in a sorted manner so that it will be easy at the time of washing them too.
4. De-Clutter & Gather the Supplies: After making these decorative and functional changes, it is important to the de-clutter bathroom. Try to gather all the supplies, keep only the everyday essentials in the bathroom and store the rest away in some other wardrobe. This process should be a continuous one, otherwise, the clean bathroom will soon be bygone, again.
Try incorporating the above changes to organize, decorate and clean up the bathroom. It will help give a spacious, clean and clear feel. This will be comfortable for you and work well, even in terms of maintenance. When you buy bathroom curtains, look for an option made of polyester, which you can machine wash and have it clean. Likewise, opt for a quality rod, which can withstand the dampness in the bathroom. The same requirement should be meted by the laundry sorter. It should be big enough to accommodate daily laundry and bag quality should be such that there are no frequent fungal stains on it. In addition, one should be able to easily wash and maintain the laundry bag, at home. If you are looking for the above bath essentials and décor, then there are plenty of options for you by Deco Window. Check the range here and decorate your bathroom easily from the comfort of your home. With these means, maintaining and having a hotel-like bathroom will be a reality.


Guerlain Rouge G #26 Gardner is my favourite brick-red lipstick so far. Usually, I tend to go for bright reds or orange reds but Gardner is a beauty. It looked pretty boring in the bullet to me (when I first saw it) but I swatched it anyways and fell in love with it. Gardner was limited edition and I believe exclusive to europe only (holiday collection 2011, Belle de Nuit, gorgeous collection btw).
This Rouge G has some very tiny sparkles and is very opaque. I used two light layers for my swatches, what I noticed is, how glossy it looked on my arm but not on my lips. What I like about Gardner, it lasts a very long time and leaves a strong stain, without drying out my lips (I prep them with a lot of lip balm and I use eye cream as my night treatment). I tried here and there some brick-reds and most of the time I had the feeling, that those colours don't look very good on my skintone. I won't talk much about the packaging, you either hate or love it, it feels very luxurious (like most of the Guerlain products) but it seems a bit heavy (at least for me). This lipstick is scented, it doesn't bother me to be honest, I actually like the scent. I like those Rouge G's in general and Gardner is quite interesting shade.
I love how Gardner pops against your skin tone! Can't really remember if I have a red like this. I want to say maybe Gisella Rouge G is in the same league, but I might be very mistaken!
I love reds like this! Too bad it's limited edition – I would have grabbed it in an instead. Beautiful!
So happy to see Gardner getting some love! It's a real beauty.
Wow. I have stars in my eyes. This is gorgeous! I don't own any Guerlain lipsticks but I have read so much about them. It looks so moisturizing and the color payoff is so rich!

Seattle Kraken Trademarks
By Xavier Morales / March 31, 2022 October 7, 2022 / 6 minutes of reading
The newest National Hockey League (NHL) team, the Seattle Krakens, just joined the league in the Pacific Division under the Western Conference – just in time for the 21-22 season. The NHL approved the expansion in 2018 and fans were kept waiting until July 2020, when the branding was released.
The team's name was chosen based on the Kraken of Scandinavian folklore, and it bears a resemblance to the Giant Pacific octopus, which is found near Seattle. On April 30th, 2021, the franchise paid the final installment of the $650 million expansion fee, officially making the Seattle Kraken the 32nd team of the NHL.
In addition to the new team, they'll be playing in a new stadium with a 930 million dollar stadium built at the site of the KeyArena. Amazon purchased the naming rights to Climate Pledge Arenato and chose to name the venue to honor its climate goals.
The Krakens aren't the first Seattle-based team, the first was the Seattle Metropolitans, who played in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. They were the first USA-based team to win the Stanley cup. After folding in 1924, the second team was the Seattle Totems, founded in 1944 and disbanded in 1975. Attempts to create another expansion team were made in 1976; however, the plans were abandoned due to poor performance. More attempts were made in the 1990s, but the immense costs couldn't be met. On October 26th, 2021, The Seattle Krakens raised a banner commemorating the 1917 Seattle Metropolitans for their Stanley cup win.
From 2012, the NHL had an increased interest in Seattle and began scoping out options.
The Coachella Valley Firebirds are American Hockey League (AHL) affiliates of the Kraken's, based in California. Due to delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Firebirds will play for the first time in the 2022-23 season.
The Charlotte Checkers, the primary AHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers, serve as the AHL affiliate for the Kraken's during the 21-22 season (due to the delayed Firebirds).
Famous Seattle Kraken trademarks
Being such a new team, the Seattle Kraken Hockey Team doesn't have much going for them in trademarks. They did attempt to trademark the phrase "release the Kraken"; however, the trademark application was rescinded, likely due to infringement against the Kraken Rum Brand (official sponsors of the Seattle Krakens!). Still, they do have a handful of registered trademarks. Let's take a look at the most famous trademarks.
The Seattle Kraken team name was trademarked in 2021. The trademark is registered in the following categories:
Entertainment services related to professional ice hockey exhibitions

The Seattle Kraken's "S" logo is fast becoming a hit with the fans. It can be seen on merchandise, branding, and clothing already. The trademark was registered in 2021 in the following categories:

Anchor logo
Just as popular as the "S" logo on their merchandise, the Anchor logo can also be seen on marketing materials and branding related to the team. The trademark was registered in 2021, following its first use in 2020. The trademark applies to the following categories:
Entertainment services, specifically professional ice hockey exhibitions

The Seattle Kraken's are a trailblazing new NHL team, returning the NHL to Seattle for the first time in decades. While it's still early days, the Kraken's have a real opportunity to become prominent in the world of hockey. It remains to be seen whether they're a permanent fixture or whether they'll fold like their predecessors.
They're not the most popular team yet, with a value of only 800 million dollars or so, but part of this value will be made up of intellectual property and branding. The only way to indeed defend your intellectual property is to ensure it's appropriately registered with the USPTO so that you can protect yourself in the case of a dispute. The Seattle Krakens own just 14 trademarks, including a few trademark applications.

A small airplane flying from San Luis Obispo to Santa Paula made an emergency landing in the Santa Ynez River bed near Rancho San Marcos Golf Course Monday morning. The plane's pilot reported engine failure, and had to make an emergency landing. The actual location of the landing was at Rancho San Fernando Rey, 166 Paradise Road.
"He noticed the open field of the ranch below him and was able to safely land," said Capt. Eli Iskow of the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, which responded to the situation. There was no apparent damage to the high-performance biplane and the pilot was uninjured.
It just so happened that the field the man chose to land his plane was one used this summer as a "heavy" helicopter base during the Zaca Fire this summer.

South Sudan could be facing another bloody civil war as hundreds die in renewed clashes
Carey Lodge 11 July 2016 | 10:32 AM
South Sudanese policemen and soldiers stand guard along a street following renewed fighting in Juba.Reuters
Heavy fighting erupted again in South Sudan's capital on Monday, a day after the UN Security Council urged warring factions to immediately end days of violence that have left hundreds dead.
The council condemned escalating violence in and around Juba that began on July 7, and together with UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon demanded that rivals President Salva Kiir and Vice-President Riek Machar control their forces.
Ambassador Koro Bessho of Japan said the 15 members of the council had "expressed particular shock and outrage" at attacks on UN compounds and protection of civilian sites in the capital.
The council also called for more peacekeepers to be sent to the region.
A witness in Juba told Reuters on Monday that two helicopters were firing apparently in the direction of Machar's political and military headquarters. Residents reported tanks on the street. A UN official said heavy gunfire had erupted around UN bases again.
The capital has been mired in fighting almost every day since Thursday when troops loyal to Kiir and soldiers backing former rebel leader Machar first clashed, raising fears of a slide back to a full-blown conflict after two bloody civil wars.
It was not immediately clear who was leading the fighting or if either side was gaining the upper hand. The violence has raised concerns that Kiir and Machar, longtime political and military rivals, may not have full control of their forces.
There has been no official death toll but at least five soldiers died on Thursday and a Health Ministry source said 272 people, including 33 civilians, were killed on Friday. After a brief lull on Saturday, Sunday's fighting appeared even more fierce.
"We urge an end to these hostilities and hope they (political leaders) will return back to taking up all the action points of the peace agreement," Shantal Persaud, spokeswoman for the UN mission UNMISS, told Reuters by telephone.

She said gunfire had erupted on Monday around the UN headquarters in the Jebel area of Juba and also around a base near the airport. UN bases were hit by small arms and heavy weapons on Sunday. One UN Chinese peacekeeper was killed.
There have also been reports of troops using rocket-propelled grenades.
UNMISS said it was "outraged" by renewed violence in the world's newest nation, which marked five years of independence from Sudan last week. South Sudan's people remain mired in poverty, with an estimated 2.8 million facing severe food security and almost half of the population in need of aid. Oil production, the nation's mainstay, has plummeted.
The UN Security Council, after an emergency meeting, told the two leaders to "do their utmost to control their respective forces, urgently end the fighting and prevent the spread of violence" and commit themselves to their peace deal.
Attacks on civilians, UN personnel and UN premises might amount to war crimes that would need investigation, it said.
On Friday, Kiir and Machar had been in patch-up talks after Thursday's shootings when gunfire erupted. Both said then they could not explain what happened.
The two men have long been rivals for power. Civil war erupted in December 2013 following an attempted coup by soldiers loyal to Kiir's former deputy Machar. The fighting escalated, spreading throughout the country and fracturing it along ethnic lines. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were displaced.
A peace deal was signed in August 2015, but the two sides spent months wrangling over details. Machar finally returned to Juba in April, at the time seen as step towards cementing peace.
But experts say the failure to implement swiftly key elements, such as the re-integration and demobilisation of combatants, has allowed tension to fester and risked igniting a new conflict.

Can a Relationship Survive Infidelity?
The topic of infidelity has been front and centre in the media with the recent Ashley Madison scandal regarding the release of personal information of those who joined the website that encourages people to have affairs. Much of the media coverage and response to this issue has focused on morality–the idea that the people who joined the site to have an affair "had it coming"– or on privacy–the idea that people have the right to expect companies to protect their personal information. There has been little discussion of the impact of infidelity on relationships, or on how couples impacted by the Ashley Madison scandal can heal.
Infidelity is often discussed as if it will (and should) lead to the end of a relationship. A common phrase that gets used is "once a cheater, always a cheater." But is it possible for a relationship to survive infidelity?
As a relationship therapist in Toronto, infidelity is one of the more common concerns I see in relationship and marriage counselling. Those who discover their partner's infidelity are often surprised at their reactions if they too had previously believed one should not stay with a partner who has had an affair. However, when they experience infidelity for themselves, they realize it may not be so simple to end the relationship. Despite the hurt, sadness, anger, and grief, there is often still love or at least the memory of love and a shared history together. In some cases, a relationship cannot survive infidelity. It is just too hard to recover from the pain and rebuild trust. Sometimes a person just doesn't have it in them to try. But sometimes, the relationship can be healed.
I have seen many couples recover from infidelity. It takes time and effort to rebuild trust and overcome betrayal, but it can be done. When the pain of infidelity is fresh, it can seem impossible to find a way forward. If your partner has had an affair and you'd like to see if it's possible to stay together, look for support to help you do so. Be wary of telling others about the affair, as they may repeat that old saying "once a cheater, always a cheater" or tell you to leave simply because they care for you and don't want to see you hurt. The reality is that you have been hurt, and any path forward will be difficult—whether you choose to end the relationship or move forward together. An experienced relationship therapist trained in the treatment of infidelity can help.

While the sun has set on the Rio Olympics, we're thrilled to have left our mark on the once-in-a-lifetime event.
For longtime partner Procter & Gamble, we designed a custom pattern aesthetic that would emphasize the worldwide Olympic sponsor's presence at the Games, particularly within its Global Family Home for athletes and their families.
We crafted a dynamic collection based on a story that's uniquely Rio—from its urban grit to its tropical color. Borrowing cues from the boisterous spirit of Brazil's lively neighborhoods, the look is saturated, geometric, rhythmic, architectural and bold.
A kaleidoscope of street-art color is juxtaposed against a winding "coastline" of mosaic patterns inspired by Rio's iconic Copacabana and Ipanema beachside promenades. And set against a backdrop of palm fringes and crashing waves, the aesthetic brings to life a multilayered story of vibrant culture and breathtaking natural beauty that is Rio's alone.
Several of the patterns and motifs were spotted in the company's "home away from home," gracing interiors and accent accessories as well as P&G's official 2016 Rio Olympic Games identity.
Check out the entire collection our team designed below.


TERRIBLE!!!! This is by far my most hated coaster I've ever been on, but also is up there on my most hated ride ever. The queue line is nice enough as you enter into what looks like a medieval castle and climb up a ramp into its interior. As you get on the ride it does three quick bunny hops over a body of water as you approach the lift hill. And yes that is where the fun ended. the train literally slammed into the lift hill jerking me both forward and backforward. As we ascended the lift hill all i could notice was how loud this rickety rackety coaster was. I wouldn't go as far as to say this coaster isn't safe because adventureland is very big on safety and checking to make sure everyone is safely buckled in all their rides. But this ride just looked and sounded and felt much older than it was. You go down a less than impressive drop and do two mediocre loops before it does a sharp turn around. My head repeatedly got slammed back and forth into the restraint. Before coming back into the station. The ride was over very quickly and thats probably a good thing as I had a nasty headache and both my ears hurt for a good ten minutes after riding this hunk of junk. Why couldn't this coaster have been broken down on the day I went rather than Tornado? Tornado looked neat. This ride sucked. Stay away! stay far away!
First off, I disliked the trains as the restraints really hurt at points during the ride. Anyway, the first drop wasnt steep at all providing a very weak and dull drop. The following two vertical loops were the only bright spot as they were surprisingly forceful. After that the ride began to fizzle out as the helix wasnt as foreceful as I had wished and the next hill was way too slow.
The Dragon is a steel coaster with two inversions (Double Loop) it was manufactured by Hopkins in 1990 it is 90 feet tall and 2,250 feet long. It has one train with 7 4 seat cars. It looks nice from different areas of the park and it looks nice by the water. Pulls some pretty good G-forces. Sit in the front seat for a smoother ride. This is a good double loop ride with a pretty good ride duration. This ride is fast,fun, rerideable, capacity is average, ride duration is average, and decoration is average.
My god, I about wanted to die after I rode this piece of crud. Had a NASTY headache afterwards.
Smooth... What are you talking about. It was ROUGH. But... It was pritty fast after you made it over the hill and down to the loops. Up the hill was VERY... VERY ROUGH! But... for some reason... It attacts me to ride it again and again!
This coaster is definatly not the worst or the best. It is short and the turn at the beginning hurt. Hill was barely ok. Once going up the hill it is smooth.You would be better off going on the Outlaw or Tornado then this, But Id you should still go on it just to see if you like it.
On first look you may believe this coaster was built during the early 80s rush of loopers, but not the case this thing was built in 91, but appears much older. APPEARANCE-6 Looks neat from different areas of the park and interacts well with the water. Also looks much older then it is, interesting pre hill layout that is also the roughest part of the ride. CAPACITY-7 Has one train but the park does a decent job keeping the line moving. RIDE QUALITY-5 Has some rough spots especially at the beiginning, the drop is pretty weak, but the loops are smooth and the rides pulls some serious gs. FUN-2 Not a lot that I liked about it. RERIDE-1 Only way I go again is if I am with someone new. OVERALL-21 AVG 4.2 Definately feels like a 3 but I do like the appearance it adds to the park.
Not a bad looping coaster by any means, but I agree that softer padding on the restraints would make for a more comfortable ride.
Short but sweet. Ultra-smooth coaster. It would have been nice if it was bigger, but a nice addition to the park.
Just a simple double looper that is rougher than it should be. Plenty of speed at the end could be used to add excitement.
