Review and Tutorial: Twitter Money Bot Marketing Software
Posted by James Parsons on April 24th, 2017
Twitter Money Bot is a piece of software with a wide array of features, recently – well, within a few years – updated to version three. They bill themselves as "the Best Twitter Marketing Software Ever", which is a bold claim, and their site can be found here.
What is Twitter Money Bot, what does it do, and is it safe to use? How can you use it to make money through Twitter? Let's investigate.
What is Twitter Money Bot?
Analysis of Twitter Money Bot
No Tutorials Here
TMB, as I'll abbreviate it for convenience, is exactly what it sounds like. It's a bot designed to automate numerous features and actions on Twitter. Here's the list of features they promote:
Auto-follow users from search results.
Auto-follow users from txt file lists.
Follow the followers of other people.
Follow the following list of other people.
Unfollow users who don't follow you back, with whitelist functionality.
Mass favorites and mass retweets.
Tweet posting.
Replies and mentions generator.
Mass account statistics scraper.
Account creator.
Direct message sender.
Informational scrapers to scrape bios, avatars, tweets, and other information.
Multi-thread support.
Proxy support for both public and private proxies.
Task scheduling.
Random task delay.
Mass ID/Username converter.
Captcha breaking via DeathByCaptcha.
Unlimited account support.
Mass bio updater/uploader, custom scrapers, and other pro features.
SERP scraper.
Blog comment poster.
Article scraper.
Keyword scraper.
SEO analyzer.
Keyword analyzer.
Of all of this, only the advanced scraper and basic follow/unfollow features are available on the bronze version, which is $27. For $67 you get the silver version, which has everything except the proxy tester, SERP scraper, blog comment poster, article scraper, keyword analyzer, and SEO tools. The gold-tier $97 version has everything. Additionally, there is a hidden free version found here that is limited to just following automatically.
TMB also has a few spinoff bots, including one for Instagram and one for Tumblr.
There are a lot of red flags going off in my mind after reading the description and features list of this particular software, and if you've read this blog for a while, you probably get many of the same flags.
First, though it's minor, I always point out whenever a Twitter app forgets that Twitter changed favorites to likes. They made that change over a year ago now, so there's no excuse not to find-replace on your software.
Secondly, there are some very odd feature choices here. Particularly, I'm talking about the last few on the list, which all move away from Twitter and into blog marketing and SEO management features. It's like a tiny, gimped version of ScrapeBox, bundled into a Twitter app for some reason.
I wouldn't expect these features to be particularly advanced or all that useful in the context where you're getting the app for Twitter. Maybe if you're someone who built up their position on Twitter and is trying to expand into blogging, it might be useful, but even then there are better tools you can get for the amount of money you save not buying the more expensive version of TMB.
The third and largest red flag is how this is very clearly a black hat tool. I understand that sometimes you might want to run more than one Twitter account – I even wrote a post about that topic – but even in the most extreme circumstances, there's no reason I can think of that would make a mass account creator with associated captcha breaker necessary in the slightest. I can see the value in following people from a list, but automatically following everyone who follows someone else – which can be thousands or millions of people depending on the target – is insane. The unfollow tool, as well, goes directly against Twitter's policies about reciprocal following and follower churn, and is just as likely to get your account suspended as it is to grow it.
Then you have the rest of the features, which are supplements to help avoid being suspended. The random task delay is pretty much only useful to mimic human behavior and get around bot scans and honeypots. Proxies are made to avoid making it obvious that the guy registering "TotallyLegitAccount1" "TotallyLegitAccount2" "TotallyLegitAccount3" all the way up to 10,000 is actually 10,000 different people from all around the world. All the data scraping is just to copy legit account information for fake accounts.
Are there legitimate uses for the Twitter Money Bot? Sure, there are a few. You can use it to scrape information that you then want to analyze with your own data analysis apps. It's good enough for harvesting basic data, though honestly if I want something to scrape data I'm going to go with ScrapeBox instead. You can technically use the auto-DM feature for some marketing purposes, though it strays very close to spam if you use it poorly and can get your accounts suspended for using it.
Automatic replies, likewise, can be useful in certain constrained situations. Using them on a customer service account with a generic "we're sorry, we'd like to help, please message us details" message is fine. However, even the example on their site in their screenshot section is a hundred "hey can you check my link?" spam. No, dude, I'm not gonna check your stupid link do your bad website filled with spam I'm blocking via adblocks anyway.
This doesn't even get into the web-based spam tool one-two punch of the article scraper and blog comment spam engine. As someone who runs several blogs, people who scrape, spin, and throw up stolen content are wastes of the digital space it takes to host them. There's no excuse for it, Google isn't fooled, it rarely works, and there's a hard ceiling on how high your BSing can grow your site. Legitimate content can run you to the moon, but stolen content can only take you to the second floor.
Look, I'll be honest with you. Twitter Money Bot is a very simple program. It works, in that it does what it claims to do. Log in with a Twitter account, give it a list of accounts to follow, and it will happily follow all of them for you. Tell it to follow everyone who follows Elon Musk or Beyonce or whoever, and it will do that too, albeit slowly due to the volume. Tell it to scrape articles and it will give you a heap of data.
What Twitter Money Bot doesn't do, however, is make you money. Despite having money in the name, none of its features are directly related to revenue. Unless you're selling engagement from your botnet of fake accounts on Fiverr for pennies on the hour, it's not doing anything to directly make you money.
The problem with TMB and other black hat apps like it is that they aren't good for long-term growth. You can set up 10,000 Twitter accounts and get all of them a bunch of follow-backs from what are probably other fake accounts run by other people doing the same thing. Those accounts don't do much of anything for you. You can spam a link or hashtag through them, but Twitter is smart enough to recognize the obvious attempt at generating a fake trend or some other exploitative behavior, and they'll filter the messages from their search results. It's the same way that blog comment spam has been a black hat technique for years, and almost all blog comment sections run nofollow links specifically to combat it, along with anti-spam filtering. Sure, you can spam 10,000 blogs, but only 5-10 of them will have links that are even followed, and those won't be worth much of anything.
Black hat techniques are nonsensical to me. Starting a site, a profile, or something of the sort with them has two possible outcomes; either a long slow languishing with poor search rankings and terrible engagement, or a brief spike of activity that is then quickly slapped down when it's discovered to be unnatural.
Meanwhile, white hat sites start off small, and build upon themselves over time. It's like an avalanche; a single snowball at the top of a mountain might not be much, but by the time it builds and come crashing down, it's devastating. All the good sites started off small at one time, after all.
Black hat techniques have the allure of "get rich quick" schemes. They promise immediate returns, but say nothing of sustained gains. Think about it this way; I say I will give you $500 now, or I will give you $1 this week, then $2 the next, then $3 the next, and so on for a year. If you take the $500, sure, you have $500 for nothing. However, you come back next week, and there's nothing for you. Unless you do something smart with that $500, you're getting nothing more. Meanwhile the guy who takes the dollar comes back each week for a year and winds up with nearly $1400 by the end of the year.
The secret lies in value. I could use a few apps to create a Twitter account with 1,000,000 followers, every one of them fake. I can then tweet out to my audience of a million people, but who cares? Those fake accounts don't do anything and the tweet gets no engagement, no retweets, no likes, no embeds. It sure does look suspicious when a million people do nothing, but it's worse than that. What good does that account do you? What can you do with it? Does it make you money? It has no power. It doesn't turn into profits. It can't be sold for any value, because the value real marketers look for is in the engagement, the audience. A fake audience, built up on lies and deception, brings no benefit to anyone.
People who fall into the trap of using apps like TMB end up focused so much on the basic metrics that they don't recognize why other people look for those metrics. People want a lot of followers on Twitter, but it's not just so they can look at a huge list of names and feel good about themselves. It's so that they can advertise to those people and get them to buy products.
I guess what I'm getting at is that if you already know what you're doing with exploitative techniques and black hat practices, you already know whether or not you want TMB. It will do what you want it to do, but if you use it poorly you'll see increased attrition across your fake accounts, with more of them being found and suspended, and more links being filtered from Twitter search due to spam. If you don't know what any of this means, the tool is too advanced for you to use and you should investigate legitimate methods of Twitter growth first.
As for an actual tutorial for the program, I don't think you really need one if you're planning to use it. All of the features are very self-explanatory. Click a button for a task you want to do, fill in a few boxes, and let it run. It's not exactly complicated. If you can read English and have a basic grasp of what words mean, you're probably capable of getting it.
So should you get Twitter Money Bot? I really doubt it. There's no real legitimate Twitter growth to be had. Any of the decent features, like contextual auto-responses, multiple account management, follower management, and so forth can be found in much better dashboards and programs designed for marketers rather than spammers. If you're the kind of person who wants to use it, you already know and you're going to use it with or without my recommendation, so feel free. I'll just be over here growing legitimate, valuable accounts the organic way.

I had heard about the software and wondered if anyone had honestly reviewed it — and I found you. Thanks, your review helped me understand what it does and to stay away from it. I also saw on twitter terms that aggressive (although I don't know how many is "aggressive") is a violation of the terms – which is enough to scare anyone with a legitimate-use account. Thanks again.

An Ode to Physical Games – Tales of a Dying Medium
Categories: Featured, RetroGaming | 1 comment
Nostalgia plays a big part in why gaming is important to me. Those moments as a kid were only highlighted with some of the warm memories attributed with the challenging gameplay, characters, and music associated with the classics on consoles such as the NES and Genesis.
Getting a new game, even to this day is a blast! Yet, holding that brand new box in your hands, then popping the cartridge or disk into the system and starting it up for the first time was, and still is its own reward. This is something that could very well have its days numbered, when physical copies will be completely phased out by an all digital marketplace. Even though the direction the industry will go in is still undetermined, it doesn't look to good for our physical games.
Regardless of how games are played in the future, I will always have fond memories of first getting that brand new game and the anticipation to play it. Though getting a new game when I was a kid wasn't a regular thing, it was only that more special when I did.
At the time, there were not many stores for me to go and browse new selections of games. No Gamestop, no FuncoLand, no Electronics Boutique. Just places like Lechmere and Target; which had an ok selection to choose from, but not the greatest. Though it was almost a half hour drive, Toys R' Us was always a favorite destination for me when picking up something new, especially when it was popular and might sell out fast. It's the kind of place you would want to go just to play around. Even the fliers included with the daily newspaper would provide a warm sensation prompting you to reach for a pen to highlight stuff you wanted, even if it wasn't anywhere near the Holidays.
Taking that first corner to face down the game isle was overwhelming; glowing signs, standees and posters promoting all the popular titles as well as such icons like Mario and Sonic.
Originally the games were displayed behind a glass window and you would have to ask for help to get what you wanted. Because of the ever expanding selection from the growing market, they introduced the slip system; little signs showing off the box art and a sleeve just below it with slips of paper representing the game of choice. Just holding the piece of paper was exciting enough, but before leaving the Isle taking one last look at everything was a must!
Games soon to be released, demos, magazines, expensive peripherals that you will most likely never own, but could drool over. The saying: "Like a kid in a candy store" couldn't have been more right!
After paying at the register there was one last stop just before leaving, what I liked to call, "The Game Room". This was a tiny hole in the wall storage area with multiple copies of every game available, which were stacked up in alphabetical order and went on for what seemed like forever. Once the sliding window opened, you gave the employee your slip with receipt attached and then he would disappear into the back to retrieve your copy. You were then handed a plastic bag with just a slight view of the cover art bleeding through. Epic!
The ride home was probably the longest ride ever! At least you had the manual to flip through.
I own about a dozen games in my digital collection, and to me it's just not as enjoyable as the real thing. That process of paying for and downloading a game is boring, uneventful and the end result lacks any kind of unique personal value. No package or plastic wrap to viciously tear off, manual to flip through or stackable cartridge with glossy label. Just a cold virtual representation of what you own. It costs money to make packaging, and only makes sense that the next logical step for developers is to provide us with just the data. Its just where technology is heading and is completely understandable.
I personally enjoy having my own tangible collection of favorite games, hallmarking the many adventures the characters and I have gone through over the years and as well proudly being a representation (a trophy of sorts) of completion.
Like Records, Cassettes and Music Cds, it may soon become a relic of the old days. Though never truly forgotten.
Do you enjoy having a collection? Will you miss picking up new games if the physical media becomes extinct? Or will you just except clicking the download link and letting the system do all the work?

Seriously, I hate not having a tangible item. I totally agree, so much of the excitement and anticipation is totally lost is just a digital download.

AI startups are being created at an exponential rate as our society embraces a new era of AI, but for many of these companies, traditional financing methods are no longer viable, either from being too lengthy, too cumbersome or being otherwise incompatible with a dynamic market. Such projects face one critical question: where to source funding?
It is important to understand that the entry threshold for AI is very high. AI is a highly technical industry, with extreme costs for research and development holding back many potential projects. With these costs growing rapidly and projected to continue to do so exponentially into the future, AI projects are searching for alternative methods of funding. Enter DeepToken Exchange (www.deeptoken.com), the world's first AI industry digital asset exchange. Having just recently gone live, DeepToken Exchange aims to provide relief to quality AI projects struggling to achieve the necessary funding required to break into the industry. Utilizing an innovative 'Voting is Mining' mechanism and boasting the support of DeepBrain Chain's huge AI community, DeepToken Exchange will assist AI projects, helping them source funding and provide a platform for issuing and trading digital assets.
As blockchain technology develops, integration into existing industries is steadily on the rise. As such, the creation of digital assets and need for digital asset exchanges is also growing. These exchanges serve a pivotal role in the engagement of users, and digital assets themselves have provided the basic infrastructure of the blockchain sphere. By listing on DeepToken Exchange, companies are able to raise funds quickly via token issuing, helping to alleviate some of their biggest problems. The size of the market is astronomical and so is the demand for these services. Founder of DeepToken Exchange, Yong He, draws attention to the number of AI companies globally, exceeding the tens of thousands, and the ability and need for a large portion of these companies to be tokenized. It is the goal of DeepToken Exchange to discover and assist quality AI projects from this huge selection. With DeepToken Exchange, these companies can take the first step in blockchain integration and embrace the mutual benefit of an expanding market.
DeepToken's founding team consists of global AI experts with a combined experience of a great many years in the industry. One such example being Yong He, CEO of DeepBrain Chain. As the world's first decentralized AI computing platform powered by blockchain, DeepBrain Chain can save AI companies up to 70% in computing costs, concurrently helping them protect data privacy. Hongquan Jiang, partner of Germany's Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH (RBVC), also joins DeepToken Exchange as Chief AI Investment Consultant. Dr. Jiang has been working at Bosch since 1996. An in-depth understanding of AI technology and investments in famous British AI chip company Graphcore are just a fraction of Dr. Jiang's many accolades. Also joining DeepToken Exchange as Chief Listing Consultant is WangKai Liu, co-founder of Zhishi Capital. As the former Senior Researcher at Huobi Lab, he was responsible for a huge amount of listing assessment work.
A global AI community consisting of AI experts, developers, investors and other AI practitioners will provide a sturdy foundation for the DeepToken Exchange. Said community can discuss AI and give voice to opinions regarding the potential listing of AI projects. They will also have the opportunity to invest in listed projects they see potential in. All individuals utilizing the exchange, be they corporate executives, investors, professors, researches, students, product managers and AI journalists and editors will have to pass KYC verification on DeepBrain Chain's website. DeepToken will issue DPT as the foundation for the DeepToken ecosystem and community governance program. By allowing users to receive a refund on their trading fees, buying back from the secondary market, community voting on potential listing and major community affairs, the community will have maximum participation potential. Additionally, DeepToken listing requirements will remain open, fair, transparent and fee-free, permanently.
This will further alleviate AI companies of money pressure and unleash their full development, allowing them to more easily enter the market and divert their focus to the more important efforts of product development.

5 May 2009 - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, ZaZa, Deleted Scenes, and Secret Mountains @ Talking Head, Baltimore -- Most of the time, I was too close to the stage to hear the vocals. What I heard was mostly instruments, as I stood next to some speakers on Stage Right. I could feel their concussive force as they (the drivers) moved the air with the rhythms. The vocals were coming out of another speaker or speakers (probably set overhead and projecting into the audience). Moreover, I wore earplugs, and that cut off a lot of the high frequencies. -- This is a long-winded explanation of why, most of the time, the music didn't do much for me. Maybe I would've gotten more out of the show next door (a venue called, Sonar), which featured Nightwish (a Finnish band that plays progressive Euro metal).
1) Secret Mountains (Baltimore)... 4 of the 5 members visible... I arrived at the end of their set... They sounded like a beginner band.
4) The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (NYC)... the keyboardist seems to be Asian or part-Asian... The band lineup lists 4 names, but tonight they seemed to have an extra guitarist.
8 May - Jenny Lin, Baltimore... this was a piano recital entitled, "The 11th Finger: a program of piano etudes". It was such an interesting concert, in that she introduced each piece verbally. She set up scores on the stand for almost all of them (understandable since she performed over 20 pieces by 10 composers -- who could perform that much music from memory at one sitting?).
23 May - The Bangles, State Theatre, Falls Church, VA -- great show... despite a few flubs and some technical difficulty (with the lead guitarist's vocal audio), the audience ate it up... and why not?: some monster hits from 20+ years ago, a well-honed rock/pop sound with songs full of hooks, bridges, and sumptuous vocal harmonies.
I'd, inadvertently, prepped for the show by monitoring the Bangle's YouTube presence the past year or so. The great thing about YouTube is the posting of old performances, so one can compare the past with present.
The 2nd pic is the jacket of the Mexican pressing of their 1986 release, Different Light. If you enlarge it, you'll notice in the lower right-hand corner, the phrase, "Hecho en Mexico" (Made in Mexico).
Much of the jacket text is translated into Spanish, including the song titles. In the 3rd photo, you can see the songs listed on the record label (side 1)... in both Spanish and English.

Q: Can you write unit tests if you don't actually write the code? For instance, I assume this is what SDETs do?
They don't actually write the functional code but they're able to write integration/unit tests, am i correct?
But can someone learn to read code and then start writing tests?

A: This is actually a good question. I have been at the same place when I was working only on Manual Testing. Here is how I experienced things when I transitioned to automation. To answer your question, yes someone can read code and start writing tests on it but you need to understand the code that you are going to test.
There are different types of testing methodologies that are used when testing an application. These tests are done in layers so that the application is properly tested. Here is how the layering looks like:
1) Unit testing: This part is usually written by developers. This is because they have written the code and know the functionalities of the code and is easier for them to write. I am an SDET and I have written unit tests. There was only one opportunity that presented itself and it was when we were refactoring our code and there was a lot of room to write Unit Tests. In unit tests, you test functions in isolation by giving it some values and verifying an expected value. This is not something an SDET does, but should be able to do if provided the chance.
2) Integration testing: This part is also usually written by developers but the definition of integration testing is a bit vague. It means testing multiple modules in isolation. This can be modules in backend or modules in frontend but not together. Frameworks that help achieve this are code level integration tests for the technology you are using. Like for Angular application, there are deep integration tests that test the HTML and CSS of a component and there are shallow integration tests that just test two component's logic together. This can be written by an SDET but is usually written by the developer.
3) API testing (contract based testing): Pact helps us achieve this. There are other tools like rest assured, postman and jmeter that help in testing API end points. Pact helps test the integration of APIs on the frontend and verifies that integration in backend. This is very popular with microservices. This is something that can be written either by the developer or by the SDET.
4) End to End testing: This is something that is the sole responsibility of SDET. This covers testing of user flows depending on user stories. It is testing the entire stack together. Backend and frontend. This allows SDETs to automate how a user would use the application. This is also called as blackbox testing. There are different frameworks that help achieve this. Selenium, Protractor, Cypress, Detox etc. This is the sole responsibility of an SDET.
5) Load testing: This is again something that an SDET does. Using tools like hey, jmeter, loadrunner etc. These tests allow the SDET to initiate a heavy load on the system and check for breaking points of the system.
6) Performance testing: Testing the performance of the webpage for an end user depending on the page load time, the SEO optimisation and the weight of elements of page. This is something achieved by google's lighthouse tool that is an amazing tool to use. I am not aware of anything else that is as amazing as lighthouse because it gives us a lot of data that we can use to improve our website. This is a primary job of an SDET.
7) CI/CD: Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployments is something that requires architectural knowledge of the system. This is something you can do when you are an SDET3 or a lead QA engineer. For systems like AWS and GCP, using CI build tools like Jenkins and CircleCI, one can set up a pipeline that runs all the above tests when ever a branch is merged into master or whenever a pull request is created. Creating the pipeline will require you to have knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins and your test frameworks. First you dockerize your tests, then you build the image and push it to a directory in cloud, then you use the image to create a kubernetes job that runs everytime a change is presented in your code.
These are the levels of work that an SDET does. It takes time and hard work to have an understanding of all testing frameworks and how everything fits together. An SDET should have knowledge of the server, http protocols, frontend, backend, browsers, caching, pipeline management and orchestration of tests.

A: Yes, sure. You can write unit tests increasing test coverage of the codebase. That's very qualified work from software test engineering since you need to be aware what is going on in the code. This skill is definitely great!
I advise you to take a look on so called "mutation coverage". Usage of mutation coverage as a better metric than simple unit test coverage. Mutation tests are changing logical operators in the different parts of the codebase (making so called "mutants") and then are running unit tests to find out how many unit tests will fail showing their effectiveness (if after mutants were injected the result is the same as without them - unit tests quality is low and they won't catch any new injected issues to the codebase).

Couple find treasure using Google Earth: how much did they earn
Maggie Benson July 27, 2021
A feat made by two amateur paleontologists thanks to Google Earth. They discover marine fossil deposits that are 150 million years old.
Two junior British paleontologists bugged Google Earth technology To find one of the largest marine fossils ever found. Neville and Sally Hollingworth, these two names of the couple, have used the dead times of the pandemic to explore our planet from home, with the Google reference app. A strange discovery led them to contact the Museum of Natural History and thus receive an important connection.

Discover treasure with Google Earth
British couple Neville and Sally decided so Find new locations To be explored pending the end of the epidemic. On Google Earth, they began to watch the areas near their habitation until they identified a specific point, a rather unusual area. When in doubt, they called the Museum of Natural History and disclosed their theory. In fact, two novice paleontologists hypothesized that this discovery could be one area with fossils But they were far from imagining the significance of the conclusion.
Excavations have been revealed Hundreds of fossils Well preserved rare marine species. Sea cucumbers, sea lilies, starfish, feathered stars, dating back more than 150 million years. Usually, the fossils of this species are difficult to find because they require conservation in certain conditions. But this time the treasure was preserved and now discovered.

The value of the discovery is high given that the study of the fossils will allow new cataloging. In addition, the creatures are intact, details that facilitate the planned study and make it more complete.

The gothic video finds Miss FD wandering around in a black wedding dress looking for a lost key that opens a mysterious box she is carrying. Apparently lost keys are a hot item, since she finds an alarmingly high number of them during her nearly 4 1/2 minute video. What mystery will be unlocked from her box we unfortunately never find out (perhaps it is more about the journey), since all the keys she finds don't work. The video, shot in Miami, is directed by Adam Alvarez (who returns after making her last video for Love Magick).

New guide helps patients, doctors make decisions on cancer drugs
ASCO 'Value Framework' offers a way to weigh health outcomes, side effects and costs of various treatments
June 24, 2015 • By Susan Keown / Fred Hutch News Service
ASCO's new "Value Framework" decision guide aims to help cancer patients and their doctors determine the cost-benefit ratio of cancer drugs, such as the breast cancer drug Herceptin, so together they can make more-informed treatment decisions. Photo by Jeff J. Mitchell / Getty Images
Would you choose to live a few weeks longer if it cost your family upwards of $10,000? What about a longer lifespan with a price tag that came in the form of difficult side effects?
A new decision guide, published Monday by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, seeks to help patients facing these types of devastating decisions by providing more clarity on the impact of new cancer drugs on health outcomes, side effects and finances.
The proposed methodology aims to make it easier for patients and providers to make more-informed decisions about care.
"This project is responding to patient concerns, as well as society's concerns, about the rising costs of medical care, specifically cancer care, that make optimal care challenging at best and prohibitive in other cases," said Dr. Gary Lyman, co-director of the Hutchinson Institute for Cancer Outcomes Research at Fred Hutch and member of the ASCO Value in Cancer Care Task Force that created the framework.
The ASCO Value Framework assigns a score, called a "Net Health Benefit," to new drugs based on how they've stacked up against the current standard of care in randomized controlled trials. A new drug gets points for helping patients survive longer than the old therapy and for having less-severe side effects.
The framework provides the drug costs along with the Net Health Benefit so patients and their doctors can consider medical benefits side by side with the financial impact when choosing a course of therapy.
The framework's authors demonstrated its use in metastatic lung cancer, advanced multiple myeloma, metastatic prostate cancer and HER2-positive breast cancer. As currently published, it is geared more toward physicians than for use by patients (with published results from a clinical trial in hand, users fill out a worksheet to derive a drug's Net Health Benefit). But eventually, ASCO said in a statement, the goal is for the framework to serve as the basis for user-friendly tools that physicians and patients could use together to choose treatments based on the patient's individual values and preferences for care. In fact, Lyman said, the task force envisions an electronic tool that integrates up-to-date information on benefits, harms and costs seamlessly into electronic health records.
"When all three elements are considered" — clinical outcomes, toxicity and cost — "distinct differences in the available options often emerge," Lyman said. "It's not telling people to take one agent or another, but rather to enhance the discussion between patient and provider."
Price and outcomes not always aligned
The task force developed two versions of the framework: one for patients with early-stage cancer (in which the goal of treatment is to eliminate the disease) and another for patients with advanced, incurable disease who are seeking to improve survival while maintaining quality of life. The two versions of the framework measure clinical benefit in different ways to take these varied treatment goals into account. The version for advanced disease also assigns "bonus points" to a drug's score if it greatly reduces symptoms or prolongs the amount of time before additional treatment is needed.
In each of the four test cancers, different drugs' Net Health Benefits and costs diverged wildly.
A combination chemotherapy incorporating pemetrexed (Alimta), a new lung cancer drug, earned a Net Health Benefit score of just zero when compared to an older combination for first-line treatment of metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer ― despite having a price tag more than 11 times higher.
In contrast, the addition of trastuzumab (Herceptin) to a three-drug cocktail for HER2-positive breast cancer had a Net Health Benefit of 48, a relatively high score. The new drug cut the risk of death by more than one third compared to the three-drug combination alone, while maintaining the same level of toxicity.
However, adding the newer, fourth drug to the combo also caused the cost to skyrocket from just $3,400 to over $73,000.
Lyman emphasized that these numbers will mean different things to different patients as they consider their treatment options for their disease together with their oncologists.
"It's not telling people to take one agent or another, but rather to enhance the discussion between patient and provider," said Dr. Gary Lyman, co-director of the Hutchinson Institute for Cancer Outcomes Research, of the new decision guide. Photo by Bo Jungmayer / Fred Hutch News Service
"For many patients, optimizing efficacy even if it's a matter of weeks or a couple months may be the choice they take, but others, who may be more concerned about the ravages of high cost and the impact on family and the next generation, may want to maximize efficiency," Lyman said.
Rising costs put the squeeze on patients
The issue of cancer drug prices is increasingly on the radar of patients and doctors around the country.
The issue took center stage at last month's ASCO annual meeting, where plenary speaker Dr. Leonard Saltz of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center told his peers, "these drugs cost too much." Several weeks later, researchers at his institution released an interactive calculator, DrugAbacus, which adjusts drug prices based on the drugs' effects on lifespan and side effects.
"If you look at what's happened in the last five years, there's been an increase in the price of new agents coming on the market, with cancer being on the high end," Lyman said. "Part of this is the technology," he said, referring to the high-tech methods used to develop today's molecularly targeted drugs. But, he added, the "disconnect" between these high costs and net benefit some drugs' provide — sometimes just a few more weeks of life — "just doesn't make much sense," he said.
He said that he has been part of a growing chorus clamoring for change in drug pricing.
"Many of us have been calling on industry and the government and the payers to rein in these steeply rising prices that are making these drugs unaffordable and often catastrophic for patients," he said. He cited the prohibition against price negotiation by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services — the nation's largest cancer drug purchaser — as one area for change.
Through HICOR, Lyman and his colleagues also seek to make a difference through research. "What we're doing now with HICOR is testing out different strategies to improve the quality of care and reduce costs within the Northwest among our partners," he said. "And it gives us real opportunities to test different models and see what works and what doesn't work."
Your feedback is needed
The framework is a work in progress. "This is just the first iteration," Lyman said.
ASCO is seeking feedback from patients, providers and others on the framework to guide the development of future versions. To provide feedback, visit the online survey. The public comment period is open through Aug. 21.
Lyman cited quality of life and patient-reported measures as important outcomes that could potentially be included in future versions of the framework. Future versions might also provide information on the out-of-pocket costs that a patient would experience in their specific circumstances, he said.

Le  était un dérivé de l'avion de transport américain Fokker . Produit sous licence au Japon pendant les années 1930, il fut initialement employé comme avion de ligne, puis sa variante militaire fut utilisée par l'Armée impériale japonaise dans divers types de missions, s'étalant de l'évacuation sanitaire au transport et à l'entraînement. Il fut utilisé de manière intensive au-dessus des zones de combat au Mandchoukouo et en Chine pendant la seconde guerre sino-japonaise.

Conception et développement
Le  fit ses débuts sous le nom de , lancé par Fokker aux États-Unis en 1927 comme évolution de l, un appareil ayant connu un succès important. Le  était plus grand et pouvait embarquer six passagers au lieu de quatre. De plus, il était équipé d'un moteur plus puissant et d'une aile haute de type cantilever. En tout, il est estimé qu'environ  furent produits. En raison de sa solidité remarquable, sa capacité à voler sur de longues distances et sa grande capacité en marchandises, le  fut utilisé de manière intensive pour l'aviation de brousse et était très apprécié pour sa versatilité. Le premier vol se déroula en . Peu après, le modèle entra en production sur le site d'une nouvelle usine à Glendale, en Californie. Le  resta en production jusqu'en .

Le  attira l'attention de nombreuses compagnies aériennes civiles à partir de 1928. Il suscita également l'intérêt de la part de l'Armée américaine, bien qu'aucune commande ne soit passée. Fokker reçut des commandes à l'export provenant de la Colombie, de l'Argentine, de l'Afrique du Sud et du Japon. Des accords de production sous licence furent également signés avec la subsidiaire canadienne de Vickers et avec Nakajima, au Japon.

Histoire opérationnelle
Le premier  fut livré au Japon en pièces détachées et fut assemblé par Nakajima pour la compagnie aérienne  (JAT), la compagnie nationale de l'empire du Japon de 1928 à 1938. Pendant la production sous licence de l'avion, Nakajima remplaça le moteur en étoile d'origine par un Bristol  de  (), également produit sous licence au Japon, puis par son propre moteur, le  de  ().

La production par Nakajima débuta en , avec la livraison du premier exemplaire en . La production se treemina en , mais le nombre total d'exemplaires produits demeure inconnu. Nakajima sous-traita également une production sous licence avec la compagnie aéronautique Manshū, sa subsidiaire au Mandchoukouo, mais là-aussi le nombre d'exemplaires produits n'est pas connu. Les premiers  militaires entrèrent en service à la suite de l'invasion japonaise de la Mandchourie, en 1931, lorsque l'Armée impériale japonaise réquisitionna sept appareils appartenant à la compagnie .

En 1932, le Service aérien de l'Armée impériale japonaise décida d'acquérir ses propres avions de transport, qu'elle désigna « Avion d'entraînement de l'Armée Type 95 » sous l'ancien système de désignation des aéronefs, ou «  » sous le nouveau système. Le premier exemplaire fut livré en tant qu'ambulance aérienne, équipée de deux civières et de trois sièges. Il fut suivi par une commande de  devant servir à l'entraînement des pilotes, des mitrailleurs, des bombardiers et des opérateurs radio.

Le Service aérien de la Marine impériale japonaise commanda également  du , redésignant l'appareil « Avion de reconnaissance Fokker de la Marine basé à terre » , et  supplémentaires redésignés « Hydravions de reconnaissance Fokker de la Marine » , qui étaient équipés de flotteurs. La version navale était doté d'une cabine plus grande et était utilisée pour les missions de reconnaissance aérienne et de transport militaire.

Les appareils produits au Japon furent utilisés à la fois pour des missions civiles et militaires, certains exemplaires continuant à servir après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Q: Is there a way I can identify the tables in a module used in different ways? I have a database which has about 10-15 table starting with abc_tables
dbo.abc_patientsname,
dbo.abc_employeesname,
dbo.abc_departmentsname

and so on.
Is there a way where I can find if any of them are used to create other abc_ tables
(Ex:2 or more abc_tables can be used to create a main abc_table) or any of the abc_ tables which are used in views or sp or reports or ssis packages ?

A: Here's a way I check for where different objects are used when we need to 86 them. I'm sure there's a more efficient way, but this works for me when I need something quick.
SELECT
    so.[name],
    so.[type],
    so.[type_desc]
FROM syscomments AS sc
LEFT JOIN sys.objects so
    ON sc.id = so.object_id
WHERE
    sc.[text] LIKE '%dbo.abc_patientsname%'
    OR sc.[text] LIKE '%dbo.abc_employeesname%'
    OR sc.[text] LIKE '%dbo.abc_departmentsname%';

Running this for my client's table it returns:

Parish Summary: Hillington
This Parish Summary is an overview of the large amount of information held for the parish, and only selected examples of sites and finds in each period are given. It has been beyond the scope of the project to carry out detailed research into the historical background, documents, maps or other sources, but we hope that the Parish Summaries will encourage users to refer to the detailed records, and to consult the bibliographical sources referred to below. Feedback and any corrections are welcomed by email to heritage@norfolk.gov.uk
The parish of Hillington is located in West Norfolk, roughly 7km northeast of King's Lynn. It is narrow and elongated and most of the northern parish boundary follows the Babingley River. The village is L-shaped and is located alongside the A148 and B1153 in the centre. Isolated houses and farms are scattered throughout.
Hillington has seen quite a lot of archaeological work. There have been several evaluation excavations and a good number of site visits. Stray finds have been collected and a considerable amount of metal detecting has taken place. Sites have been identified in most parts of the parish, with a dense concentration in the centre. The wide distribution of sites means that reasonable conclusions can be drawn about past settlement and activity.
Only a few prehistoric flint artefacts have been discovered. These include Neolithic polished axeheads, a Neolithic flaked and polished axehead (NHER 37716) and a late prehistoric flake. The low number is probably the result of limited collection by fieldworkers. It is likely that many more flint objects were used and survive awaiting discovery.
Two Bronze Age socketed axeheads, a palstave and a chisel are recorded. All are made of copper alloy. Four ring ditches (NHER 13230, 17364 and 17365) have been identified and they could be the remains of Bronze Age barrows. All are located in the centre and are spread over an area 2km wide. A mound (NHER 21256) in Hillington Park may also be a Bronze Age barrow, although it is more likely that it is a post medieval garden feature. The Icknield Way (NHER 1398), a prehistoric trackway that is thought to have linked Norfolk to southern England, may have passed through the parish.
A reasonable amount of Iron Age material has been collected. Pottery has been found south of the village. A possible linch pin (NHER 32143), a fitting from a chariot, has been discovered to the east and three Iron Age Iceni coins have been found in the north. An Iron Age or Roman brooch has also been gathered.
A Roman road (NHER 3496) may have passed northwest to southeast through the west of the parish. In 1986 a collection of wooden stakes, Roman coins and a possible infilled watercourse (NHER 22900) were found close to where this road may have crossed the Babingley River. The stakes could be the remains of a Roman bridge and the possible watercourse a former route of the Babingley or one of its tributaries. In the west of the parish, to the south of the possible road, is a large and complex Roman enclosure (NHER 32198). It is visible on aerial photographs and has been plotted during a geophysical survey. Excavations have examined enclosure ditches, possible post holes and a pit. Finds include a coin and pottery. Although the function of the enclosure is uncertain, it is broadly comparable to a religious site at Fison Way, Thetford (NHER 5853).
Roman objects have been found at over forty sites and include pottery, coins, brooches and building material. The quantity and type of objects recovered from two sites suggest the presence of possible Roman settlements (NHER 23492 and 25915). Both are situated in the northeast. In 2003 twelve coins from a dispersed hoard (NHER 29913) were found in the centre.

Early Saxon objects, including brooches, brooch fragments and wrist clasps, have been collected close to the village. The assemblage suggests the presence of settlement and possibly a cemetery, although the exact site or sites are not known. A few pieces of residual Early to Middle Saxon pottery found during an evaluation in the village also point towards settlement. Middle and Late Saxon objects have a similar distribution to the Early Saxon objects. They include pottery, three coins (NHER 17439 and 28395), brooches, a bridle cheekpiece and strap fittings and indicate that the site of the village was probably occupied during both periods.
Hillington is recorded as 'Idlinghetuna' in the Domesday Book of 1086. This Old English placename means 'the farm or enclosure of Hythla's people'. In 1086 William of Warenne, Eudo son of Spirwic and Berner the Crossbowman held land in the parish. A freeman, villagers, smallholders, slaves, ploughs, meadow, pigs, sheep, mills and salthouses were recorded. The presence of salthouses suggests that tidal conditions extended at least 7km inland along the Babingley River.
St Mary's Church (NHER 3515) is located in the east of the village. The tower and elements of the chancel date to the 15th century. The nave was rebuilt and much of the rest of the building was restored during the 19th century. To the north of the church a possible medieval midden (NHER 37305) and the site of a medieval cross (NHER 3510) are recorded. The cross may be one of the four now situated close to the south gate to Hillington Park (NHER 3503). The site of a chapel dedicated to St James (NHER 3509) is located in the west.
To the north of the village is a medieval moated site (NHER 3511). The moat is 3m to 4m wide and encloses a rectangular shaped area, with an additional arm attached to the northeast corner. This arm may be fed by a spring and could have been a fishpond. To the south are possible enclosures, a pond and a possible trackway (NHER 17441). They have been interpreted as part of a medieval shrunken village, although it is more probable that most are undated drainage features. Medieval and post medieval objects have been found through the parish. These include pottery, coins, tokens, jettons and hoard of medieval silver coins.
Hillington Hall (NHER 3508) was built to the north of the village in 1624. It was altered and extended in the 1760s and then incorporated into a new hall designed by W.J. Donthorne during the 1820s. It was demolished in the 1940s and a new house was built. Walls from 17th, 18th and 19th century houses are now visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. Adjacent to the site of the hall are a 17th to 19th century walled garden, a 19th century dovecote, the 17th century and later Dairy Farmhouse (NHER 43186) and a landscape park (NHER 30512). The park was laid out during the 1760s. The medieval moated site (NHER 3511) was incorporated into it and the mound within it was probably constructed as a garden feature. This mound and a second mound (NHER 21256) to the east had summerhouses built on them.
During the 1820s gatehouses were added at the south and east entrances to the park (NHER 21254 and 21255). As part of the same work, four medieval stone cross shafts (NHER 3503) were reset outside the southern gateway. Three of these may originally have come from either King's Lynn or a route to Walsingham; the fourth was probably moved from the village (see NHER 3510). During the 19th century an icehouse was built in the park and three pairs of estate cottages were built along Lynn Road. A pumping station supplied water to the Hall and was probably also built in the 19th century.
Other post medieval buildings include Warren Farmhouse, Field Farm, the Ffolkes Arms Hotel, Up Hall and the Old School House. Belmont House (NHER 3505) was built in the east during the late 18th century. It was demolished by 1826 and all that survives above ground is a large mound with fragments of walls protruding from it. In the south a watermill (NHER 14997) is marked on Faden's map of 1797. Congham Lodge was built on its site around 1800. In the late 1800s a railway (NHER 13581) linking King's Lynn to Fakenham was built. It passed from east to west through the parish and the village was provided with a station. The route is now disused and sections of its course survive as tracks.

PotNetwork Magazine Leads Cannabis Media Boom
Business Wire May 20, 2019
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
"PotNetwork Media Group at the forefront of print journalism revival," writes SmallCap Network
PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: POTN) ("the Company") through its wholly-owned subsidiary PotNetwork Media Group is at the forefront of a new revival of print journalism, according to a recent article published on SmallCap Network. As per the piece, the Company's recently launched PotNetwork Magazine, which went into circulation this past February, is one of a select few successful publications to have grown out of the cannabis boom of the past few years.
PotNetwork Magazine has "[established] itself as a vital part of a new sector of the media industry," according to SmallCap Network.
"We're extremely proud of our PotNetwork Media Group division and the business opportunities that is has afforded us," said Kevin Hagen, CEO of PotNetwork Holding, Inc. "To see such growth in such a short amount of time is a testament to our coordinated strength as a Company."
Launched earlier this year, PotNetwork Magazine mixes a B2B approach to the cannabis industry with hard-hitting journalism and investigative pieces meant to give readers a look behind the curtain. The inaugural issue featured a sit-down interview with former Mexican President Vincente Fox, and in upcoming months it will deliver exclusives with cannabis industry CEOs Keith Dolo of Sproutly Canada and Dan Anglin of CannAmerica Brands.
Readers can also expect a feature photo shoot of famed Las Vegas dispensary Planet 13 and a behind-the-scenes look at the true story of the first attempt to produce a cannabis commercial for the biggest football game of the year with 420Media's Kerri Accardi.
"It's exciting to be recognized by our peers, especially with so many good publications already available in the cannabis space," said PotNetwork News Editor-in-Chief Brandon A. Dorfman. "PotNetwork Magazine shines a spotlight on the cannabis industry with a unique vision, and we're thrilled to have the public's buy-in on that."
PotNetwork Magazine offers advertisers a growing diverse readership base of 30,000 individual investors in the cannabis stock market, entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry, and high-level executives and CEOs centered on the Canadian and U.S. cannabis markets. The magazine's circulation of 30,000 compares well with competitors like MG Magazine (25,000), Marijuana Business Daily (15,000) and Marijuana Venture (12,000).
Space is limited but still available for the upcoming issue, and advertisers can contact advertising@potnetwork.com for more details, including information on rates and multi-issue packages.

The Heritage Periodic Table is a miniature representation of the periodic table of elements – with the actual elements embedded inside. The collection contains 83 individual element samples. Due to their rarity and radioactivity, Technetium and Promethium were excluded from the collection. Except for Uranium and Thorium, elements 84 (Polonium) through 118 (Oganesson) were also excluded.
Does this actually come with uranium or uuu?
The Periodic Table contains a sample of Autunite (Ca(UO₂)₂(PO₄)₂) which is a naturally occurring ore of uranium. The ore is approximately 50% uranium by weight and is legal to ship due to its natural occurrence.
The periodic tables weighs approximately 1.5 lbs.

6,225ft (8 reels)
Jim Flannagan, a two-fisted, hard-fighting Irishman, returns from the war to White Cloud, a railroad junction high in the Sierras, and is put in charge of a wrecking crew. He becomes fascinated with Daisy, soubrette of a traveling theatrical troupe, and she accepts his offer of marriage. Although she is a good cook and housekeeper, her free and easy ways arouse Jim's suspicious jealousy; when he fights with Louie, manager of the show troupe, Daisy leaves him. Jim takes to drinking and misses a call to clear a wreck, and he is discharged. Then Regan, a friend, sends for Daisy, and she returns with their child, a baby girl; although overjoyed, Jim's old jealous doubt returns, and, her pride offended, Daisy returns to the city. Her train collides with a fast freight, and against orders Jim joins the crew and retrieves the miraculously unharmed Daisy from the wreck. They are thus reunited.

If you work on or anywhere near a construction site, you know that safety is a huge issue and oftentimes problem faced by the workforce. Between heavy equipment, dangerous chemicals, and life threatening injuries in general, it's not exactly the safest place to work.
That being said, over the years, people have developed numerous ways to keep employees safe on the site. Jobsite construction safety sure has come a long way since the days of hanging onto a rafter by a single strand of rope, so let's take a look at some unfortunate situations faced by construction workers that can be avoided.
Falls and injuries dealing with height are easily avoided. In crowded cities, the only way to build is usually up. This means tall jobsites and the increased risk of either a crew member falling, or something falling onto a crew member. From up above, having proper safety netting surround the building is a must. Safety netting, debris netting and other building covers should be properly secured around the building to prevent any wind gusts or clumsy workmanship from causing a hazard.
Onto the individual worker, harnesses and proper securing of lines is key. Although it takes a few extra steps and can be annoying, jobsite directors should always be sure to have their employees following safety regulations when it comes to harness use.
Improper use of equipment is also a huge source of liability and injury on the jobsite. Some equipment, especially the heavier machinery, requires certifications and certain knowledge to operate. Those take extra time and money, so oftentimes to save a minute and a buck, jobsites employee unskilled labor to do a skilled job. This is terrible for liability and even worse for human safety. Proper use of equipment is paramount in the construction world.
This goes the same for maintaining said equipment. Whether it's keeping up to date on scheduled maintenance or just making sure things don't get damaged by using a Brahman cable protector, all of your gear should be safe, maintained, and up to date with safety codes.

The kittens are as cute as they can be. Very well painted!
Super job on this wonderful painting!
Affectionate pose, beautiful colors and shapes.
WOW what a really really nice work.. the subject is endearing but the painterly quality of brushwork and clear and clean colors make the cats faces and expressions read well.. this deserves to be printed..
As a cat person, I say well done, good enough to hang on the wall.
Thank you all for your kind words. I will probably go ahead and print it, as I am doing a lot of work in preparation for a local artist's market in October. But the fellow on the left looks a trifle grumpy, so will go back this morning and try to soften his expression up. All it will need will be a shadow somewhere.... hopefully! Back to the old Wacom!


Now although the previous link does not perform a DOS, similar trick can practically perform a DOS attack, causing the client to endlessly wait for the reply.
administrators must lock down their redirects.
users of the redirection is imperative.
Alternatively, allow redirection only to specifically white-listed sites. For example, administrators could limit linking to external sites only when a user actually clicks on the link while on the main site, thus preventing links in e-mail or instant messages from working.
Few times before Google Image Search was susceptible to this was exploited by phishers.
Cisco web site is also susceptible to this vulnerability.
Really good. You made a small yet understandable article which gives any beginner a good understanding about the topic. I really like it. Thanks for your wonderful effort.

Q: Need help creating expect condition on webdriver.io I'm testing a web application that uses a progress bar to reflect the state of some lengthy process.
I need to create a test that clicks the Start button and then waits for the progress bar to reach 75%. Then the test should click Stop. 5% is the acceptable tolerance limit to pass the test.
But I'm not sure how to create an assertion to check this, I already created the test, and it stops at 75%, but how can I (using Mocha and the expected wdio library) can verify if it's in the 5% acceptable tolerance limit?
This is what I have right now that it is working:
describe('Progress bar challenge', () => {

    before(() => {
        ProgressPage.open();
    });

    it('Should click [start] wait for the bar to reach 75% and click [stop]', async () => {

            await ProgressPage.startBtn.click();
            await ProgressPage.progressBar.waitUntil(async function () {
                return (await this.getAttribute('aria-valuenow')) >= '75'
            }, {
                timeout: 50000,
            });
            await ProgressPage.stopBtn.click();
            console.log(await ProgressPage.progressBar.getAttribute('aria-valuenow'));
    });

});

The log usually returns 75 or 76, but I don't know which assertion I can create to pass the test.

A: Try below code this will have tolerance of 5%
it('Progress bar start wait stop and tollerence', async () => {
    await ProgressPage.open()
    await ProgressPage.startButton.click()
    await ProgressPage.progressBar.waitUntil(async function() {
        const tolerance = (await this.getAttribute('aria-valuenow'))
        return ( tolerance >= '75' && tolerance <= '80' )
    },
    {
        timeout: 50000,
        timeoutmsg:"Failed while waiting for progressBar to reach 75%"
    })
    await ProgressPage.stopButton.click()
});

A: Not sure if I follow correctly, but if you import chai
   const { assert } = require('chai')
   const progressValue = await this.getAttribute('aria-valuenow')

and then do
assert(progressValue >= '75' && progressValue <= '80')

Q: Laravel - passing array of associative arrays to a partial I am trying to pass an associative array containing an array of associative arrays to the a partial in laravel 5.2:
        @include('admin.partials.context-menu', [
            'items' => [
               ['test' => 'test']
            ],
            'icon'  => 'more_vert'
        ])

and trying to access the array items inside the array:

    @foreach($items as $item)

            {{ $item['test']  }}

    @endforeach

However, I get an error illegal string offset 'test', as I try to do it.
Things that I have tried so far:
Using indexed array 'items' - works, but very unintuitive to develop with
Passing object instead of associative array - unexpected behaviour, says it is an object when typeOf, but when accessing a value, says it is not an object.
I can var_dump things in the partial and all the values are as expected, but the problem only arises when I try to access their values via blade
as in
{{ $item['test']  }}

Thank you for your help :)

A: All I can think is that you're missing the key on one of the items.
For example I can trigger the same error with the following code.
<?php

$array = [
    'items' => [
        ['test' => 'test'],
        ['key' => 'test2']
    ]
];

foreach ($array['items'] as $item) {
    var_dump($item['test']);
}

Try doing
@foreach ($items as $key => $value) // yes this works in blade
    {{ $item[$key] }}
@endforeach

Want to be a banker? Put down that novel
Boyd Erman
This film image released by Paramount Pictures shows Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort in a scene from "The Wolf of Wall Street."Mary Cybulski/The Associated Press
If you are looking to get into investment banking, put down War and Peace and find yourself a copy of Macroeconomics. The bankers who rise to the top are generally the worldly types who can mix talk of leverage with literature and other topics, putting them at ease in any social situation.
But when it comes to getting in the door at the bottom, an arts degree is not going to help, so concentrate on the numbers, concludes U.K.-based eFinancialCareers. The company did a survey of 50 analyst-level workers at securities firms around the world, and found out that almost without exception they had studied economics, economics and math, or business for their bachelor's degree.
"In theory, banks are open minded inclusive places that are more than happy to hire liberal arts graduates just so long as those graduates can pass a few numerical tests and answer some mathematical interview questions," the firm concluded. "That's the theory. The reality, however, is very different."
The degree that was furthest from finance was psychology, and there were some computer science degrees. The one philosophy degree was combined with economics. Anecdotally, here in Canada there are also a serious number of engineering grads on Bay Street, but that still fits in with the numbers-based theme.
eFinancialCareers concluded that "Banks like to hire people who know about economics and business. If you want to work in front office banking, forget banks' claims to be open-minded and don't risk studying anything else."
The results from eFinancialCareers aren't surprising. However, the conclusions do risk mixing up correlation and causation. It may not be that banks won't hire people with more varied backgrounds. It may well have more to do with candidates with the best skill sets and keenest ambitions self-select a business-related degree.
But that doesn't make them more fun at a dinner party.
You may get a job by focusing on numbers at school, notes the anonymous financier who goes by Epicurian Dealmaker on Twitter (@EpicureanDeal), but you risk becoming "the most boring person on the planet." So it might be worth reading the Tolstoy on your own time.
Then, once you're in, you have to stay in.
At that point, brains will help. But really, it's about being lucky, as the Epicurean Dealmaker points out in this insightful post on how people really climb the career ladder in banks.
"There is a mythos in investment banking, consciously cultivated by investment banks and believed in no more fervently than by its recent recruits, that my business is a purely meritocratic one," he writes. However, in salty terms, he says that isn't really the case. "These traits may arguably be necessary, but they sure as hell aren't sufficient. "Luck–good, bad, indifferent–plays a huge role in anyone's success in my business. So much of what affects what investment bankers do is beyond our ability to control: the state of the markets, the path of the economy, the success or failure of our clients' firms compared to their competitors, changes in the regulatory environment, the hiring or firing of personal friends or enemies in decision making roles at clients and potential clients. These are just a few of the boons or impediments which can deliver success far beyond our deserts, or scuttle years worth of unpaid work and preparation in a single afternoon. And this is just business as usual."

Home/Sports/Tennessee charged with 18 NCAA violations under former coach Jeremy Pruitt
Tennessee charged with 18 NCAA violations under former coach Jeremy Pruitt
Former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt and his staff are accused of nearly 20 NCAA violations.
According to Sports Illustrated, the NCAA sent Tennessee a notice of the allegations on Friday outlining the alleged violations that occurred during Pruitt's tenure. Pruitt was fired after the 2020 season when Tennessee said it found evidence of NCAA violations. By firing Pruitt for cause, Tennessee said there was no contractual obligation to pay Pruitt's $13 million buyout.
The charges revolved around recruitment violations and even included Pruitt making cash payments to the mothers of two employed people. Collectively, the total dollar value of the 18 allegations is $60,000. From SI:
In the most egregious of the charges, Pruitt and his staff hosted at least six potential customers and their families on nine informal weekend visits during a year-long downtime, providing gave them accommodation, meals, transportation, household items and even furniture for a total of $12,000. Pruitt herself is accused of making $3,000 and $6,000 cash payments to two mothers of potential clients, the first being used to support medical bills and the other to prepay for a car.
Pruitt was fired after Tennessee began its own investigation into misconduct on the show. That investigation comes after Tennessee finished the 2020 season 3-7 and lost seven of its last eight games. No Vols loss has been less than 11 points.
Casey, the wife of Pruitt, a former sports department employee at two other schools, is also accused of $12,500 cash payment for those employed and their families. Seven other employees were named in the NCAA's allegation notice. Tennessee has not been charged with a lack of institutional control since it began its own investigation into the violations.
Tennessee won 16-19 of Jeremy Pruitt's three seasons with the team. (AP Photo/Wade Payne, File)
The investigation was carried out by sporting director Danny White. He was hired to replace former Tennessee football coach Phil Fulmer after Fulmer resigned the day after Pruitt was fired for reasons. After Pruitt was fired, the coach's former attorney threatened to sue Tennessee in an attempt to get Pruitt's outright payment back. However, no legal action appears to have been taken in the months since Tennessee hired Josh Heupel to replace Pruitt.
"Receipt of our Notice of Allegations is a tentative, necessary step in this process – a process that our university has proactively initiated through decisive and transparent actions. Until we get to that point, I cannot discuss the details of the incident. As a university, we understand the need to take responsibility for what happened, but we remain committed to protecting our current and future student-athletes. "
Fulmer became the athletic director of Tennessee after a messy coach search resulted in the recruitment of Pruitt. Pruitt was hired following a backlash to former AD John Currie's hiring of Greg Schiano, prompting Currie to leave the school.
Having served as an assistant in Georgia and Alabama, Pruitt had a 16-19 record in Tennessee. The Vols' only winning season under Pruitt came in 2019 when UT won 8-5 and won the Gator Bowl. After being fired from Tennessee, Pruitt spent the entire 2021 season on the New York Giants' coaching staff but that staff member was fired at the end of the season.
