William Holman-Hunt's painting, The Light of the World (about 1900-1904), is the world's most traveled piece of artwork and is often referred to as a "sermon in a painting." At the bottom of the piece is a verse from our passage this week.
As you prepare your heart for worship, take some time looking at this symbolically rich piece. Notice the many visual metaphors that are found across scripture. Prayerfully allow the various elements of this painting to help you consider where Jesus is standing in your own life right now.
More information about this painting can be found here.

This paper demonstrates the quick prototyping capabilities of the Python-Kodo library for network coding based performance evaluation and investigates the problem of data redundancy in a network coded wireless mesh with opportunistic overhearing. By means of several wireless meshed architectures simulated on the constructed test-bed, the advantage of network coding over state of the art routing schemes and the challenges of this new technology are shown. By providing maximum control of the network coding parameters and the simulation environment to the user, the test-bed facilitates quick construction of simulation setups on top of it. The paper highlights the problem of redundant transmission of data by the overhearing nodes in a wireless mesh and by means of three simple simulation setups that are built on top of the test-bed, the paper provides a brief insight into the selection of appropriate relays. Finally, various sending policies that can be employed by the nodes in order to improve the overall transmission efficiency in a dynamic wireless mesh network are discussed and their performance is analysed on the constructed simulation setup.

The Game of Thrones hacking saga continues, but this time it's the HBO's and GOT's official Twitter and Facebook accounts got compromised, rather than upcoming episodes.
As if the leak of episodes by hackers and the accidental airing of an upcoming episode of Game of Thrones by HBO itself were not enough, a notorious group of hackers took over the official Twitter and Facebook accounts for HBO as well as Game of Thrones Wednesday night.
"Hi, OurMine are here, we are just testing your security, HBO team, please contact us to upgrade the security," followed by a contact link for the group.
This message was followed by another one, wherein hackers asked people to make the hashtag #HBOhacked trending on Twitter, which it did.
Ourmine is the same group of hackers from Saudi Arabia that previously compromised social media accounts of major companies CEOs, including Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Facebook-owned virtual reality company Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe.
Den eller de som är ansvariga för säkerheten på HBO lär behöva hitta nytt jobb jävligt nu, misstänker jag.


Supermodel Kate Upton recently posted a #fitspo-worthy video of herself working out with her husband, pro baseball player Justin Verlander, proving their #relationshipgoals game is, literally, strong.
Though the couple are newlyweds -- meaning they're undoubtedly excited to spend every waking moment together -- research has proven that couples who sweat together, stay together. Which means their relationship has a better chance of thriving if they continue working out together, long past the honeymoon phase.
So if you're wanting to connect to your partner in a meaningful way while getting physical -- outside of the bedroom, of course -- here's how exercising with your partner can successfully impact your relationship.
Everyone knows that having a workout buddy is an effective way to reach fitness goals. But when your workout buddy is your spouse? You even have a better chance of success. A study by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that your spouse is actually the best motivator to help you off the couch and get moving.
Researchers discovered that when wives achieved their exercise goals first, husbands were 70% more likely to step up their game. And when husbands got fit first, 40% of wives were likely to meet their exercise goals, after following their lead.
A mere presence of someone in the room while performing an activity is known to improve your efficiency, which explains why some people prefer taking a fitness class rather than working out solo. The same concept applies to your partner. With your spouse working out alongside you, you're more likely to increase your speed and efficacy of your workouts.
Plus a little healthy competition between you will keep you on your toes, both inside and outside of the gym!
Sharing a physical activity together has been proven to increase the satisfaction and happiness within a relationship, as well as helps couples to "fall in love" over again. The stimulation of exercise, plus the "newness" of doing something with your partner, amps the romance. Focus on trying different things with your partner every so often -- like running a 5k or 10k race, doubles tennis, ballroom dancing -- to help keep the spark alive.
This is pretty much a no brainer. One, you're working on carving out toned bodies together, so, naturally, you'd want to check each other out in the flesh. And two, exercise helps release endorphins, those "feel good" chemicals, which helps strengthen your bond, as well as increases your desire for one another. When you feel good and are happy with your spouse, you're more likely to skip dinner and go straight for...dessert.
Studies have found that one way to experience bonding with your partner is to practice nonverbal mimicry, which coordinates your actions with another. For example, you and your spouse run at the same pace, lift weights simultaneously, or try acro-yoga together. As a result, you'll feel more emotionally attuned to your partner in a way that only exercise can provide.
Ultimately, by prioritizing and focusing on fitness together with your partner just like Upton does, you will both improve and strengthen your bodies, as well as your relationship. A win-win situation.


Hello again, I'm back to share my projects with the wonderful LE kit this month from My Creative Scrapbook. The featured collection this time around is the stunning Follow Your Heart, Be Happy by My Mind's Eye but it doesn't stop there, there's also a ton of beautiful embellishments, laces and flowers from Prima and Kaisercraft!
Here's my first page, lots of layering and misting here! I really like the shabby colors in this kit and the collage images in the papers, very easy to work with!
I misted the background paper slightly with Glimmer Mist in the Flower Power color then splattered droplets of Trunk Bay for a touch of turquoise.
My next page is pretty simple. I just added some punched paper strips from white cardstock and a bit of stamping using bubble wrap.
And my last page... I also did lot of layering here. I love this photo of Emily running in and out of the lake and thought it went well with the whole 'follow your heart, be happy' theme.
The inking you see in the background was achieved by sponging Frayed Burlap Distress Ink over a metallic mesh packaging.
My last project with this kit is this shabby chic tag, the colors were just calling for it!
I've been enjoying making tags lately. I cut the base out of chipboard so it could be sturdy enough to hold all those wonderful embellishments.
That's all from me today! Thanks again for taking the time visit me. Have a wondeful week!
All of these projects are incredible! I love the way you make such soft beautiful works of art!
Wow, BELLOS, BELLOS!!! Te botastes!!
Y el tag me encanto!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing! Makes me wish I had a daughter!


I write a lot about my 13 year-old daughter, Fiona, and her struggle with mental illness. She actually does a lot of writing herself, so today I share with you something she wrote for her school newspaper.
About 40,000 people will commit suicide this year. That's the same amount of people that will die of breast cancer this year. In fact, it's predicted that by 2030 suicide deaths, which are most commonly caused by depression, will outweigh the number of deaths from stroke, cancer, accidents and even war.
Today I am here to talk to you about mental health awareness and the lack of it. We talk about breast cancer often. You probably know the awareness ribbon is pink. Right? But can you guess what color suicide, mental health or self-harm ribbons are? Not very many people talk about mental health or suicide. The ribbon color for suicide is yellow. The awareness ribbon color for mental health is green, and the awareness color for self-injury is orange.
The reason that we don't have much awareness for mental health issues is because it's taboo to talk about mental illness in our society. Is also seen as "not a real issue". Mental illness is an illness just a serious-if not more serious-than other illnesses that receive a whole awareness month.
Kids all around us that are our age are suffering and dying from mental illness on a daily basis. In fact about every 15 minutes somebody dies from suicide, and that does not include the kids who are passing away because of anorexia or those attempting to kill themselves. It's a scary thing to look at. It's scary to think about too, but I challenge you to look at it and to make a stand about it.
If you suffer from a mental illness you can get help and get treatment. If you're feeling like you're going to kill yourself please, PLEASE call this number-it's the national suicide prevention lifeline 1-800-273-8255.
Talk to your parents or another trusted adult about your feelings. I know it's so hard because I've been through it before myself. But I know you can do this.
I would like to challenge all of you guys out there to spread awareness for these horrible disorders. I challenge you to wear a ribbon or a shirt that's one of these colors (yellow, orange or green) every Tuesday. In our school we need to not only stand up against bullying, but we also need to stand up for mental health disorders.
I also challenge you to try to make somebody feel better. Be kind. Be friendly. Just try to lighten up someone's day. And I challenge all those folks out there that are suffering to stay strong. You can do this. I'm so proud of you.
I have many perks to my job, one of which is getting to be a judge for the cookies, cakes, breads, and candies submitted to the North Carolina state fair. I love this job! One, I get to eat cake. Oh how I love cake. Two, I get to judge with my husband. How I love getting paid to spend the day with him, eating cake.
This year, my dear colleague that supervises the judging was ill, so I got to sit in her place. While I didn't get to eat cake with my dear husband (my stepson took that role for me—see the image below), I did get to meet many more amazing people that come to Raleigh to judge.
One of the people I met this year was a lovely lady that had been judging for over 20 years, and she had stories to share! She told me about the most memorable time she judged biscuits. Biscuits are a big thing in North Carolina, and people take them very seriously when they submit them to the fair. But one particular year, there were several entries of biscuits that were, well….she said they were beyond bad (bless their heart). They were so hard the plastic knife broke trying to cut them. There were clumps of ingredients that hadn't been mixed well and overall, it just seemed that the biscuits should not be in the competition. The whole room got in on the joke-those notorious biscuits got a lot of attention and laughter that year.
After the judging had ended, the supervisor came over and told my new friend that the biscuits had been entered by a grieving widow whose wife had entered her biscuits in the fair every year that they had been married. For decades, she had won blue ribbons. For a lifetime, her biscuits had been the source of great pride and precious family moments. To honor his wife's memory, he had taken out her recipe card and for the first time, he made her biscuits and entered them in the state fair competition. He was mourning the loss of his life-long sweetheart, and showing love for his wife by entering her biscuits one last time.
Of course there wasn't a dry eye in the room when she first learned about the biscuit origin, and there were a few tears dropped when I heard the story. What a wonderful reminder of why we judge foods at the state fair; of why we take time to create and share a meal with our families and friends. What a lovely reminder of why food is so important-food connects us to those we love. Most importantly, what an important reminder of what love looks like. Next year I get to return to my role of judging cake with my husband, and I plan to think of this lovely couple as I eat biscuits. I will also take a moment and cherish that special time with him.
Using technology to engage families.
One of our VIP Dads using social media in a parenting program.
Greetings from Portland, Oregon where I'm about to do a seminar on using social media to better reach families at the Oregon Parent Education Conference #OPECConf. I did a similar seminar last week in South Carolina for a group of Adlerian psychologists. I've done this seminar enough to know that there are the lovers and the haters of using technology to reach families. So I have a few questions for you to consider if you are thinking about using technology to engage families. Question 1. Who DOESN'T use Social Media?
Clearly, early everyone uses social media! Every generation is using the Internet/SM in some capacity. Check it out here: http://www.pewinternet.org/fact-sheets/social-networking-fact-sheet/ Question 2: Are current and future parents online? YES!
95% of young people use the internet.
93% of young people have a computer or have access to one at home.
Namely, families love love to snuggle up and watch TV together for family time.
Teens (73% of them) are spending more and more time on social media.
I know, I know…enough numbers. But the truth is, I love watching TV with my kids. They love watching any screen time. It is common for me to hear my 13 year old posting comments on Instagram on a minute-by-minute basis. Another truth is that many of us get our information online, and much of that is from social media. I follow many parenting education programs on FB and Twitter, and I know many other parents do so as well. Here is one more truth. If we want to better reach families and help educate them on family life issues, we must use technology (especially social media) to engage families. That can look different depending on what you do or where you do it. And it might mean a strong learning curve for us (hence the webinar). But in the end, we need to reach parents where they are. On technology. And if we are PARENTS, we need to be a bit more selective about where we get our parenting information. But that is a blog for another day.
Please let me sleep, Mom!
I suspect anyone that has to wake up teens already knew this, but the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends a later school start time for middle and high school students. This is because of the natural sleep cycle and schedules of our busy teens. Lack of sleep = public health and academic performance issues. And this is for typical students. Many students with mental health issues have additional issues when it comes to sleeping.
I find this interesting because at an IEP meeting for my daughter yesterday the LEA said, "perhaps you could try giving her an earlier bedtime so that she can get more sleep". Hmmm…wonder why I (nor her therapist nor the medical doctor) never thought of that. Oh wait…that was the 1st thing we tried back when she was a preschooler. And in elementary school. Every single year.
My daughter has had sleep issues since, well, since she was in my womb. That child has a natural nocturnal sleep pattern, and her ADHD and anxious brain will just not let her rest. I get it. I have the same brain. It takes me an hour to get to sleep most nights, just like it does Fiona.
I am usually the consummate professional that can understand people sometimes have a lack of information. But this made me mad! First, I'm a psychologist with a PhD and I am a parenting expert. Not that that even matters because truth be told, all parents know their children. What parent wouldn't start with an earlier bedtime? This vice principal was outside of her knowledge base, and I got mad when something as easy as an earlier bedtime is the solution being offered. And I told her such. In fact, I might have mentioned that she might need to get a bit more training on adolescent brain development. I might have said a few more things, but I can't remember it all clearly now.
You should know that this reaction stemmed from my request for a later start time accommodation for my daughter. Fiona has always had sleep issues, but it is really catching up with her this year. She is stick, tired, and sick and tired of school. I have a letter from the doctor documenting the medical concerns. More sleep might be just what she needs to be successful. My thinking was that if we all want Fiona to be successful, then perhaps a modified schedule could be a first start.
The answer is no. It can't be in a formal IEP. She can have an excused absence if she is sick. Next.
Fiona's Haiku: These are the kinds of things she writes in her room as she is trying to sleep.
What did I learn yesterday? There is room for education on the importance of developmentally appropriate practices and mental health realities for all of us that work with youth and their families. And when it comes to my kids, I recognize that I may have a bit of a temper if you question my kid or my parenting. But then again, I do have red hair.


Among the most prevalent electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a swap. Even though using switches at your house is kind of effortless, wiring one particular may not be that quick for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will find several types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you happen to be installing a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally common switch (as well as most straightforward).
You can find three colors of wires within a typical single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them within the terminal screws - a person on top along with the other within the base screw of the swap. The white wire serves as being a resource of uninterrupted electrical power and is typically linked to the light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the inexperienced wire towards the ground screw of the switch.
These actions would commonly be enough for making an average swap get the job done with no issue. Then again, when you usually are not confident that you can execute the undertaking appropriately and securely you better allow the pros do it as an alternative. Soon after all, you will find a rationale why this endeavor is one of the most common electrical wiring concerns questioned by plenty of people.
For many motive, the way to wire a ceiling fan can be certainly one of essentially the most widespread electrical wiring queries. To simplify this process, you can use just one switch to get a single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it is only a matter of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan to the black wire on the swap. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire really should be linked to your black wire of your change in addition.
You will find reasons why these are typically one of the most usually requested electrical wiring concerns. A person, a lot of assume it is really straightforward to try and do, and two, these are typically the common electrical tasks at home. But then you really mustn't set your protection at risk in your objective to save cash. The stakes could even be a great deal higher in the event you attempt to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring position devoid of enough awareness or expertise.

We asked about your favorite national parks, and Travel Channel Facebook fans responded. First up: Arcadia National Park in Maine where you can be one of the first people in the US to see the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain.
Badlands National Park in South Dakota is partly managed by the Oglala Lokata tribe and includes 'Red Shirt Table,' the park's highest point at 3,340 feet.
Zion National Park in Utah is known for canyons, wildlife, rivers and natural arches like the one pictured here.
Rim Trail's elevation varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet leading to Sunset Point in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.
Carved by the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon in Arizona was one of the first national parks in the United States.
View from Clingman's Dome, the highest peak in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, along the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. Despite being at 6,643 feet, it offers a relatively easy, paved path to the observation tower.
Sunrise view of Long's Peak from Trail Ridge Road, which runs through the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
Wild Goose Island in Saint Mary Lake, the second-largest lake in Glacier National Park, Montana. The park ranges from prairie to tundra, but only 25 active glaciers remain of the estimated 150 that existed in the mid-19th century.
The second runner-up? Yosemite National Park. Yosemite Valley makes up only 1% of the park area, but this is where most visitors arrive and stay.
Known for its wildlife and geysers such as Old Faithful, Yellowstone National Park was the fan favorite by far. Here the Great Fountain Geyser erupts on a perfect, sunny day.

Since the Bible is the most published piece of literature in human history, and because I personally trust in it explicitly, I decided to do a thorough biblical study of the word "thanks" in all its various forms (such as thank, thankfulness, thanksgiving, thankworthy).
Let me summarize what I found and then connect it with the event in this picture that took place just last week.
Out of the 135 references I found in the Strong's Concordance, 67 came from the Old Testament, and 68 from the New Testament. Let's hit a few highpoints.
The references in the OT begin with the Lord's thanksgiving offerings which were voluntary and were to express thankfulness to God in Lev. 7:11-21. God designed giving thanks as an essential part of the way His chosen people should worship Him. As the years and the prophets went by, we can also see that whenever there was a revival, a time of cleansing and restoration in Israel, thanksgiving was an integral part.
The Psalms have the most references to thanks of any book in the Bible – no surprise there. When the psalmist was in distress, discouraged, or overwhelmed, he often poured out his heart to God. As he began truth-thinking about God's character and promises, his perspective changed and his thoughts were filled with thanksgiving toward God.
Moving to the NT, Colossians has a verse dealing with thanks in every chapter. In fact, chapter 3 has three verses in a row (3:15-17), where three Greek words are used that are each connected to being thankful. Check it out.
The strongest verses, Ephesians 5:20 and I Thessalonians 5:18, actually command believers to give thanks in all circumstances.
"Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Eph. 5:20).
"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (I Thess. 5:18).
This is just a small sampling of all the verses I found, but such a strong foundation for pursuing being th(i)nkful. I am cultivating thinking thanks not just for His glory, but also because my Creator has designed this thinking pattern for my benefit. He wants me to look for the things that I can be thankful for in every situation that comes my way.
There will be times that are heart-wrenching and stretching in my life. I am to think thanks right then, even through the tears. There will be times when I feel like dancing because I am so happy. I am to think thanks then, but that will be easy. However, most of life will be in between these extremes, the vast stretches of mundane, everyday life, but even then, all the time, when I wake, and when I go to sleep, I am to think thanks.
I feel that I need to proclaim God's grace and goodness. After not being able to leave due to trees down on the road, I came back to the house. I had just walked into the living room when we heard cracking and a massive crash. Walked outside to see this [picture above] where I had been only moments earlier. We don't always know why God spares us from things like this, or why he doesn't at times. But like Austin says, there are no other alternatives. No "what if's," or "if only's," we can only trust that if we knew everything He does, we wouldn't change one thing (used by permission).
Sarah was being th(i)nkful. She was thinking thanks in the middle of a very frightening and difficult thing. Rather than bemoaning the destruction of her car, worrying about insurance claims, or how she would get to work, her thoughts went quickly to giving thanks to God.
Loved reading this. Praying to grow more thankful thoughts from now on.


Yes, you read it right! The God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, could "well fit in the role as the Doctor Strange," says actor Benedict Cumberbatch. The British star spoke about it when he met former Australian pace bowler Brett Lee during the Avengers: Infinity War press tour in Singapore.
Cumberbatch plays the role of Doctor strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His character is a wizard and holds in his possession the Time Stone, one of the Infinity Stones that the villain Thanos is after.
According to the Marvel Studios, the Avengers: Infinity War will "bring to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time".
The interview will be aired on the Star Sports Network as part of Kent Cricket Live on 22nd April. The movie is set to release in India on 27th April.

By John GreathouseIn Entrepreneur, Launching Venture
A version of this article previously appeared Forbes.
In 1904, eighteen year old Ida Rosenthal immigrated to the US, speaking only her native Russian. Shortly after arriving in New York City, her husband fell ill, forcing Ida to become the family's sole breadwinner.
She used her meager savings to purchase a sewing machine and began creating dresses from magazine photos, which she sold for $25 each.
Overnight Business Success Requires Decades Of Hard Work
Thirteen years after she began making dresses, Ida had grown her modest business to fifteen employees.
Opportunity knocked when one of her customers was spotted at a high-end boutique, wearing one of Ida's outfits. The store's owner, Enid Bissett, asked the customer where she had purchased the dress.
Be A Partner, Not A Supplier
Enid approached Ida and proposed that she supply her with dresses. Ida refused. Instead, she suggested that they go into business together, as equal partners.
The two women established a custom dress shop called Enid Frocks. Rather than selling dresses for $25, Ida's designs were now selling for over $300. Their partnership lasted for a decade.
Be Egoless And Let Users Shape Your Value Prop
Ida's second big break came a few years later, when one of her customers asked if she could augment her wardrobe by purchasing some of the supporting linings that Ida placed in her dresses to accentuate the wearer's bosom.
If Ida had been a prima donna designer, she might have rejected this request out of hand. However, as a pragmatic business person, she happily complied with the customer's request, selling the dress linings for $1 each.
Realizing the supportive linings represented a stand-alone product, Ida and Enid began giving away one bra for each dress purchased. This encouraged customers to incorporate the bra into their overall wardrobe.
Go Against The Flow
In America during the early 1920's, the predominant style in women's fashion was the Flapper, "boyish form" look, which de-emphasized women's curves. Products such as the Symington Side Lacer were designed to flattened women's breasts. In contrast, Ida's designs accentuated women's feminity. To underscore their product's differentiation, Ida and Enid branded their bras "Maidenform."
Once the Flapper style began to fade in the late 1920's, many women embraced a more feminine style that accentuated their bodies, rather than obscuring it. Ida was well positioned to expand her market from upscale clients purchasing custom dresses to mass market consumers.
Fast Followers Usually Beat First Movers
Ida was hardly the first person to produce a brassier. Women had been using various types of fabric to bind, support and accentuate their breasts for thousands of years, as evidence in ancient Grecian and Roman art.
Ida wasn't even the first modern-day entrepreneur to offer women brassieres. In 1917, Mary Phelps Jacobs was granted patent 1,115,674, which states, "This invention relates to improvements in brassieres." (sic)
Unlike Ida and Enid, Mary Jacobs was a wealthy socialite who did nothing to market or sell her bra design. As such, it had no impact on the fashion market.
Celebrity Sells
Through Enid's connections within New York's Broadway acting community, she encouraged actresses to include Maidenform bras in their wardrobes. This public exposure drove wealthy customers to Enid Frocks. the target market which frequented Enid and Ida's dress boutique.
As the Flapper fashion trend fell out of favor, the company courted Hollywood actresses, including Elizabeth Taylor, to wear their bras in films, thus introducing brassieres to a national market.
Sex Sells Even Better Than Celebrities
In 1949, the company launched its iconic, "I dreamed ________ (fill in the blank with a mundane task)… in a Maidenform Bra" campaign. The ads were scandalous, as they were the first to feature intimate apparel – and in very public places, such as buses, billboards and television.
Americans had not previously been exposed to scantily clad models. The ads showed women in ordinary situations (commuting in a bus, shopping, working in an office, etc.), clothed normally from the waist down, but otherwise only wearing a Maidenform bra. The campaign was so successful that it ran through the 1960's and allowed Maidenform to sell their products at premium prices, well above those of their competition.
Innovate Beyond Product Features
The company's "I dreamed…" campaign caused demand to outstrip production. In response to the national adoption of their fashion innovation, Ida's husband William (with the help of his sister Masha Hammer) boosted output by establishing the first mass production line in the women's apparel industry. By breaking the manufacture of bras into simple, distinct steps, the company produced millions of bras a year.
Control Your Destiny, Despite Adverse Exogenous Factors
The US's entrance into World War II proved challenging for many businesses, including Maidenform, as the fabrics the company relied on were in short supply. Rather than allow material shortages to impact their business, Ida and William utilized their factories to manufacture parachutes. They also designed a Pigeon Bra, worn by US paratroopers.
Their military "bra" was in actuality a vest that fit over the men's chest and carried a messenger pigeon. When the solider landed, they attached a note to the pigeon, specifying their landing location and other relevant logistical information.
Keep It In The Family
After William died in 1958, Ida remained in sole control of Maidenform until health issues forced her to retire in 1963. Her son-in-law, Dr. Joseph Coleman subsequently ran the business until his death in 1968, at which time Ida's daughter Beatrice became CEO and operated the business until her death in 1990.
Beatrice had joined the company in 1938, taking a hands-on approach to learning every aspect of operations, including sewing bras on the assembly line. In a 1987 interview, Beatrice noted, "I was studying to be a teacher at the time, but deep down I knew I really didn't want to teach. So when my mother asked me to come into the business, I was overjoyed. I'd always admired my mother. She was an entrepreneur at a time when entrepreneurial women were few and far between."
Maidenform remained family owned and operated until 1997, when it filed for bankruptcy protection. After two years of restructuring, the business re-emerged under new ownership.
Despite the ever-changing tastes of fashion, the Maidenform brand remains popular in 2019, as part of the $6.5 billion Hanes family of apparel brands.

If cricket is a religion in India, then Sachin Tendulkar would be God. And it appears that officials -- be it civic body or otherwise -- are ready to go an extra mile to please the God of cricket.
After officials tried to waive the tax on the Ferrari that he was gifted (see box), the officials at the Regional Transport Office (Andheri) were ready to report to work two hours prior to office hours for Tendulkar.
According to sources, Tendulkar had approached the RTO officials to convert his licence to a smart card on Monday morning. In anticipation of the Master Blaster's arrival, the officials began work at 8.30 am rather than their usual 10.30 am, two hours before working hours.
Sources added that the authorities had also made special efforts to avoid a mob outside the office. However, as soon as word spread that Tendulkar was approaching the RTO office, a huge crowd collected to catch a glimpse of the cricketing genius. Sachin arrived at the office at 9.30 am and within minutes, left the office with Anjali, his wife, behind him.
MiD DAY that they had taken his photograph and his fingerprint and that he would receive his smart licence within three days. "Tendulkar is very lucky. Normally, a smart licence takes up to three months, but we have promised to give him his renewed licence in three days." Despite several attempts, RTO officer A N Bhalchandra remained unavailable for comment.
In July 2002, automotive giant Ferrari gifted Sachin Tendulkar a Ferrari 360 Modena for equaling Don Bradman's record of 29 Test centuries. Later, in September, the then Finance Minister Jaswant Singh had written to Tendulkar telling him that the government would waive off the customs duty imposed on the car. However, the rules at that time stated that customs duty could only be waived if a person was receiving a car as a prize.
When the move to waive customs duty became public in July 2003, political and social activists protested the waiver and filed a PIL in the Delhi High Court. Finally, Fiat India agreed to pay the import duty.
The smart card system was introduced in Maharashtra in 2006. The step was taken to encourage more people to convert their licence booklets into smart cards.

Q: PDO SQL won't add new entries No error is showing, but for some reason I cannot add new entries when I run this script. Any help would be appreciated.

A:
"No error is showing..."

No errors? Because, you're not checking for them. Many of your columns contain hyphens and MySQL thinks you want to do math.
I.e.: product-id which MySQL translates as "product minus id" etc.
setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION)
would have signaled the syntax errors.
Wrap all your columns that contains hyphens with ticks.
(sku, `product-id`, `product-id-type` ...

etc.

*

*Add $dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); right after the connection is opened.

Nota:

*

*You should try and avoid using hyphens as word seperators and use underscores instead.
That way you won't have to use ticks.

A: Added here because i can't code it properly in a comment. This is not an answer to the question but i suspect will lead directly to it.
Alter your code like this.
try {
    // All $sth lines above in this section.

} catch (PDOException $e) {
    // this will print an exception out if there is one.
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Q: Check if certain operators are being used in a function I want to prohibit certain operators being used in a function, for example, say I want to make sure the ** power operator is not being used in the following function:
def pow(x, y):
    return x ** y

I have used inspect.getsource to get the source and checked if "**" is in the source but that will wrongly cause an assert error if there happens to be "**" in the source elsewhere  so how to actually check the code for the existence of a particular operator?

A: I'd personally go for Ashwini's answer if you have 3.4 at hand, however, if you need to be a bit more compatible and don't mind parsing the source, then you can make use of ast, eg:
import inspect
import ast

def pow(x, y):
    return x ** y

nodes = ast.walk(ast.parse(inspect.getsource(pow)))
has_power = any(isinstance(node, ast.Pow) for node in nodes)

A: Note: Byte code we are dealing with here is a CPython implementation detail. Don't expect it to work on other implementations of Python. Prefer Jon Clements's approach.

In CPython 3.4+ you can use dis.get_instructions to check if BINARY_POWER instruction is present in function's code object or not(Also explained in What's new in Python 3.4 doc):
>>> import dis
>>> def search_instruction(code_object, instr_code):
        for ins in dis.get_instructions(code_object):
            if ins.opcode == instr_code:
                return True
        return False
...
>>> def f1():
    s = x ** 2
...
>>> def f2():
    s = 'x ** 2'
...
>>> dis.opmap['BINARY_POWER']
19
>>> search_instruction(f1.__code__, 19)
True
>>> search_instruction(f2.__code__, 19)
False

For CPython 2.X specifically you can try byteplay package available on PyPI(its Python 3 fork: https://github.com/serprex/byteplay).:
>>> import byteplay
>>> def search_instruction(code_object, instr_code):
        for ins, _ in byteplay.Code.from_code(code_object).code:
                if ins == instr_code:
                    return True
        return False
...
>>> search_instruction(f1.__code__, 19)
True
>>> search_instruction(f2.__code__, 19)
False

A: Maybe using the dis module?:
In [9]: dis.dis(pow)
  2           0 LOAD_FAST                0 (x)
              3 LOAD_FAST                1 (y)
              6 BINARY_POWER
              7 RETURN_VALUE

You probably need to redirect stdout to a stringIO to parse it in Python<3.4

Giuoco Piano
The Giuoco Piano is said to be the oldest opening recorded in chess. Instead of developing the bishop to b5, white instead attacks the center and aims at the weak f7 square. After black responds bishop to c5 you see the tension building up in the center of the board.
The opening has been called the "quiet game" but for anyone who has played this opening, after the initial build up in the center, the Giuoco Piano becomes anything but quiet. There will almost certainly be many exchanges in the middle as both sides vie for center control, opening the board up.
White eventually plans to bring his pawn to d4 and black plans to bring his pawn to d5. As you can tell from the setup, there are no attacks from the outside but instead everything runs through the middle.
This opening is somewhat tricky and there are many variations that you many want to study more if you plan on playing the Giuoco Piano.
Watch the video below to watch more detailed explanations of the opening, multiple variations, and extended lines.

Capablanca vs NN, 1918

Loyd vs S Rosenthal, 1867


The historic Magnetewan River is accessible via a short 50 m portage from the SW end of Portage Lake, just minutes from the camp. Just upstream, Stovepipe Rapids is a springtime walleye hotspot, while downstream a mile or so, Little Island Lake is a popular destination for canoeists, campers and anglers.
Most folks portage to the Magnetewan River for great early-season walleye fishing just below Stovepipe Rapids. In the deep pool below the rapids, walleyes bunch up and greedily pounce on live baits and jigs. Later in theseason, walleyes scatter throughout Little Island Lake and can be caught where current flows are maintained. In Little Island Lake, smallmouth bass abound, but walleyes and northern pike can also be caught near weedbeds, rocky points and mid-lake shoals.
An historic and scenic canoe route with easy paddling, few portages, great fishing and civilization never far away, it is no wonder that the Magnetewan River is one of the more popular canoe routes in Southern Ontario.

Their fantasy, their peculiarities and their life experience will make your words unique. Compile the first draft of your story in the shortest possible time. You know the rules, you break them. Re-invent a scene from a book. Inspire yourself with junk mail.
It often seems discouraging to make an inventive tale. There is, after all, the old adage that there are only seven storylines in the whole wide globe. Be brave, though: everyone has a history to tell. Their fantasy, their peculiarities and their experience of living will make your words inimitable.
Take a look at the surrounding environment and ask "What if" about things we take for granted. What if? Begin with a personality that you find interesting. Perhaps it is a personality who has the same customs, anxieties or strong points and uses them sensibly. Maybe it's a personality that's not like you, and that's what makes her interesting to do it.
Choose a gender or a way of telling stories. If so, please tell us about a place or a period like before. Then, begin to think about how a universe would work if it had different set of laws from ours, and fill it with magical or psychic critters. A voyage and return tale about three extraterrestrials who kidnap an animal from the Africa Safari?
We' re quite sure this will be an inventive tale. You just have to begin to write it.
4 Toweaks to write really inventive stories and personalities.
There is a mysterious atmosphere surrounding the making of film. On occasions, as part of my everyday Twitter and Facebook #WQOTD question of the day, I will ask, "What makes your storyline inventive? Any writer wants to create unique tales, but most of the times we are a little bit puzzled about how we can do it.
That' s the shocker: authenticity is actually much less important than you think. It seems that there is no defined procedure to create authenticity (i.e. you either come up with an inventive notion or not). Today you will see how to use the number one rationale to your advantage and how to start this elusive creative writing game.
Do you want to know why so many writers have difficulty responding to my #WQOTD about the originality of the items in their quiz? Cause they don't write inventive tales. Do you want to know why they don't write inventive tales? Some time ago, as we reported in our debate on the "re-readability factor", most of our readership loves to experience the same history over and over again.
Often we get our first core of inspirations from the work of another writer whose history we like. Then you put down the script and think: "I want to talk about glittering vampires/muggles/post-apocalyptic girls' belligerents. Equally important is how many people drive the cycle to the end just because they like recurring items?
Yes, they want a new attitude, but more because they want the possibility to investigate different facets of the same notion. What it all means: If you have difficulty recognizing your history as something entirely new and groundbreaking, don't feel worried about it. If something really refreshing and inventive comes on stage, it is like a cold breeze of clean outdoors.
Inventive concepts are rolling in circles. You begin to bump, bump, bump and expand against the bladder wall until it breaks through and something new and thrilling appears - and create a new bladder in which all the tales come to life for a while before the series is repeated. You' re gonna cover post-apocalyptic vampire Muggles?
Whether you believe it or not, there is a creative way to defy your own uniqueness and change your history into something that provides a new and fun way to look at old notions. "There is no point in engaging in a history that is new and interesting without knowing its place in the libraries of our current series.
When I began to write my Dreamlander portrait imagination, for example, I hadn't yet seen enough imagination to figure out which ideas had already died. It was at this point that one asked me to do something special, another asked me to do a lot of reading in this one. Well, since I could see which items were already exaggerated, I could also see the spaces that were still awaiting being used.
Replacing my kite with the angel Garowai, the fairies with the Vikings/Native American-inspired Cherazii and the Brownie with the symbolic Reiver, the history became all the better. The same precondition for knowing the history behind your history also holds true for real facts. When you write about WWI or racing driver or a five-star gastronome cook, you have to comprehend it.
There are so many romantic stereotypes in the world of writing that you can sometimes find the most inventive way to describe the facts and nothing but the facts. Allow me to tell you what uniqueness is not. Like we discussed on Friday, there' s not every neat new concept you can think of just for the new.
So how could I use each of these things in a singular way? Which of the initial elements were hidden in these things and have never been used before? Some of the idea I had wasn't great; not all of it was completely inventive. For these little inspira-tions to become realizable tales, they have to conflict with several other levels of inspirational activity.
Spiritually I gather thoughts as if they were shining seaglass objects. When I can mix three or more interesting plays, I have a history - and usually not just a history, but an inventive assumption. Looking for an additional level in a part that was conceived as a simple cartoon turn on a classical type of pirates' archetyp, Depp turned it into one of the most catchy and iconsque figures of the 2000s.
They can do the same with their own character and space. Do not be satisfied with the "flat", anticipated concept that comes first. Coming from interesting perspectives, you' ll be able to insert surprising additions to make something interesting and new. We' re throwing in a hunt or a romance just because that's what any other narrative does.
Secrets of Story: Well-narrated, scriptwriter William C. Martell recalls writer: To win a fight with pure bodily violence is boring, your character must be smart. In the course of the history there were references to the forthcoming downfall between ex-Gunslinger hero Charley and the violent hit man Butler of the Antagonisten. Most of the tales would have stored and extracted this down for the next to last round.
It is a very easy to subvert the anticipated, which both meets the needs of the storyline and provides interesting insight into the roles and situations. Pausing and asking a questions with every personality you make and every sequence you write: Most of the time you probably won't do it differently, but now and then you will find the possibility to change your history entirely and make something that will stay in readers' heads forever.
The creation of inventive tales and character is like waving for golden. But the longer you stick to it, the more likely it is that you'll run into a real novel and beautiful new one.
With what kind of gimmicks do you try to invent inventive tales and figures?

Report: "Trans" Children Are Being SEVERELY Injured by Puberty Blockers
by CG Staff | Nov 30, 2021 | News | 0 comments
By Selwyn Duke
One of the reasons anabolic steroids are illegal in sports is that they greatly increase users' chances of developing health problems and of premature death. Thus have we long known that manipulating your body's hormones is to play with fire. Nonetheless, children who believe they're "stuck in the body of the wrong sex" have often been treated with puberty blockers. But now, a report out of Sweden indicates that such kids are often being severely and permanently damaged by this radical intervention.
As SVT reports (auto-translated and edited for grammar, style, and understandability):
In May 2021, Karolinska University Hospital decided to stop new hormone treatments for children and young people in trans care. Via new guidelines, the hospital stated that the treatments are controversial, that there is a lack of scientific support and that there is a risk of potential side effects.
But while Karolinska references "potential side effects," there actually have already been such cases in its own operations….
In total, there have been 13 cases in Stockholm where children have had serious side effects and medical injuries.
Risks of long-term treatment
"Leo" was 10 years old when [she] told [her] parents that [she] was a boy — and eleven when the doctors at Astrid Lindgren's children's hospital start giving [her] so-called stop hormones, which pause puberty.
[Her] mother Natalie says that Leo has previously injured [her]self and isolated [her]self at home. After starting treatment, [she] felt better, but that soon changed.
[She] felt so bad that [she] tried to commit suicide on several occasions. We did not understand; we thought our child would feel better from the treatment, says Natalie.
Over time, Leo also began complaining of back pain.
When we asked from time to time how [her] back felt, [she] said "I have pain all the time."
Note that Sweden is possibly the West's most liberal country, so it's significant when one of its major hospitals halts pediatric Made-up Sexual Status (MUSS or "transgender") treatment.
It sure took long enough, however. Breitbart reports that as with COVID-19 "vaccine"-coincident complications, Karolinska doctors have long been aware of the puberty-blocker-induced problems — but they weren't reported till just last week.
Breitbart also relates that
Karolinska chief physician and pediatric doctor Ricard Nergårdh commented on the use of hormone blockers saying: "It's chemical castration. It can affect mental health in a way that you didn't think of and didn't want….
According to SVT, hormone blockers have affected other children in different ways, including one child who suffered liver damage, while another had been found to have reduced bone density after two years of treatment.
Several others were diagnosed with mental health issues, including thoughts of self-harm and suicide, while others simply regretted being put on the drugs after developing irreversible side effects from the hormone therapy, such as vocal changes.
… The hospital is known as being the first in Sweden to offer gender identity assessments for children and had previously defended gender surgeries, including the removal of a 14-year-old's breasts.
Breitbart then presents the following related tweet.
Swedish Hospital Defends Removing Breasts of 14-Year-Old Diagnosed with 'Gender Dysphoria' https://t.co/HqKazbxsXP
— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) April 5, 2019
I've previously reported on the many but roundly ignored MUSS individuals, including youths, who experience "sex-change regret." Their plight is no surprise, either. As Dr. Paul McHugh, former chief of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Hospital and distinguished service professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University, explained in "Transgenderism: A Pathogenic Meme," when "the tumult and shouting dies [sic], it proves not easy nor wise to live in a counterfeit sexual garb."
"The most thorough follow-up of sex-reassigned people — extending over thirty years and conducted in Sweden, where the culture is strongly supportive of the transgendered — documents their lifelong mental unrest," he continued. "Ten to fifteen years after surgical reassignment, the suicide rate of those who had undergone sex-reassignment surgery rose to twenty times that of comparable peers'" (emphasis added).
This also is no surprise, as the MUSS agenda is wholly unscientific and seeks to treat a psychological problem with a biological "solution." MUSS-advocating health "professionals" may deny this, but their own diagnostic methods attest to its truth.
Note that "gender dysphoria" — colloquially put, the sense that you're stuck in the body of the wrong sex — is diagnosed by way of feelings, and feelings alone. There is no blood or genetic test or brain scan, no physiological marker at all, used to identify it as a biological reality. As I often point out, it's as if a cardiologist refused to perform medical tests and diagnosed you as having heart disease merely because you insisted, "Doc, I have strong and persistent feelings that I have an ill ticker! Cut my chest open and perform a bypass!"
Doing so would make the physician vulnerable to a major malpractice lawsuit. We should wonder, too, when these MUSS-enabling doctors will be likewise sued. It's surprising it's not a trend already as they've long been hurting people with scientifically baseless prescriptions and, as the American College of Pediatricians essentially stated in 2016, are guilty of child abuse.
In reality, I use the MUSS acronym because since there's no such thing as "transitioning" — unless it's from physically healthy to scarred — there's also no such thing as "transgender." It's akin to supposing that someone who claims to have become an animal is "trans-species."
And, no, this analogy wasn't pulled from thin air. Note that just as psychologists speak of "gender dysphoria," they also define a condition called "species dysphoria." Perhaps related to this, we heard about "Nano," the woman who claimed she was a cat; and "Wolfie Blackheart," who swore she was a canine. Don't laugh, if you believe a boy can become a girl. For species dysphoric individuals are diagnosed in precisely the same way: feelings — not physical reality.

Q: I keep getting the warning : Name "main::URLLIST" used only once: possible typo Currently I'm learning how use perl following the lessons on
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/begperl3.html.
Ive now come across the metacharacters section and when I run the code in eclipse I get the following error:
Name "main::URLLIST" used only once: possible typo  Metacharacters.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature ":5.10";

for my $line (<URLLIST>) {
    # "If the line starts with http: and ends with html...."
    if (($line =~ /^http:/) and
        ($line =~ /html$/)) {
        say $line;
    }
}

please could you advise on why this is happening.

A: You're treating URLLIST as a file handle, but you never opened it. Just use <> instead, and it will read from the file names passed as arguments or from STDIN if no arguments were provided.
Tip: You should use while (my $line = <>) instead of for my $line (<>) as the latter needlessly loads the entire file into memory before the loop starts.

VOICES: I am a proud sister of a U.S. Army veteran
By Stephanie Fleming
When I was young, my brother Patrick and I were always close. We would play Zelda together, or eat buttered tortillas and watch The Emperor's New Groove.
In 2005, all of that changed. He stopped hanging out at home, and he spent more time with his friends. One night, I was in my room, and my mom and dad were in the family room watching TV. Patrick walked in the door and said, "I'm joining the Army."
The next few weeks were filled with him signing papers, and Mom and Dad signing papers. A recruiter came to the house and interviewed Patrick in the living room. I chose to stay upstairs in my room. To me, "enlisting" meant the Army was taking away my beloved brother and then shipping him off to war. I cried myself to sleep that night. I hated Patrick for making that choice, and I hated myself for saying I hated him.
Patrick left for boot camp that summer. I said goodbye to him in the garage, failing at choking back tears. He kept telling Mom, Dad and me not to cry, assuring us that it was only boot camp, and he wouldn't get hurt. My fears weren't my only reason for crying: It was the fact that he wouldn't be home anymore. I wouldn't get a pillow in my face for a wake-up call. I knew I wouldn't be able to hang out with him for at least six months. All I could manage to say was, "Love you."
Those first few weeks he was gone, I had to express how angry and upset I was at him. I started to wear darker, more gothic apparel: baggy pants with buckles, black eyeliner and lots of zippers. How I dressed was a sign to the world that I was upset about my brother leaving home for war.
After boot camp, Patrick went to San Antonio for combat medical training. We made plans to visit him for Thanksgiving, because he wasn't able to come home. The moment Patrick saw me in combat boots, he freaked out and started calling me a "goth" and "emo." It felt like he was stereotyping me. That was the hello I got from him, and I was crushed. When we packed up the car and left, I cried the whole way home.
From San Antonio, he went to Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Wash. Then he was deployed to Iraq.
He called the night before he left to say goodbye; it was all I could think about while I was at school. After a few days, when he got Internet access at his base, he started e-mailing Mom stories of all his shenanigans: He bought an off-road toy truck and drove it all around the desert, and he practiced inserting an IV on a GI Joe action figure. But he was also a bodyguard and worked in a major clinic in Baghdad where he saved patients and kept people alive—he did whatever needed to be done.
Something clicked, and I realized that this wasn't about me: It was about Patrick doing what he wanted to do. He risked his life for this country, and that just made me so proud of him. I had always loved my brother, but for the first time, I saw him as devoted—someone who goes beyond what other people do. Instead of feeling miserable or depressed, I realized, I should feel proud and happy that he made that choice. My chains started to lose their meaning.
Patrick came home on Oct. 4, after serving in the Army for four years. The day he drove home from Fort Lewis, I couldn't wait to get home and see him. I knew I wouldn't get a formal hello, but more of a hug and a "hi." I knew he was exhausted from driving straight from Tacoma.
When I got home, I calmly opened the door and walked upstairs. I knew he wasn't leaving again, and that I could see him as often as I wanted. I walked up the stairs to his bedroom, and we greeted each other with a "'sup" and a hug. I went back downstairs, and he went to sleep. Since he's been home, I've noticed that he has become kinder.
I'm proud to say I'm a sister of a U.S. Army veteran.

James Duport, "To his ingenuous Friend, the Author, concerning his Comedie" Randolph, The Jealous Lovers (1632) sig. ¶¶3.
Striving which has the greatest share in thee.
In pastorall sonnets, and in rurall quill.
Thou hast an excellent vein for elegies.
Urging thy fancy in heroick strains.
And so gives sentence on Thalia's part.
What though the rest with jealousie repine?
Begin to know her mother Muse by laughter.
But publish to the world thy harmlesse mirth.
Needs usher't forth: born tooth'd? fie, 'tis gainst nature.
And University, all lik't thy sport.
Will finde sufficient welcome, credit, fame.


Beauty is a lifestyle. It's a place, a loved one, it's a moment in time. You can find beauty in your mind when you close your eyes and imagine all the possibilities life has to offer. And in a blink, beauty is right in front of you when you open your eyes and take it all in. I read a book once where a little girl waved at trees because when they blew in the breeze she thought they were waving at her. As much as the wind makes me feel a little chaotic at times, when it's perfectly breezy, I can't help smiling and secretly waving back at the trees too. It instantly fills me with gratitude that spills over and onto the rest of my day.
Shiseido's inspiring new campaign is about much more than discovering a new product, it's about getting in touch with a mindset and feeling empowered by it, and I love that! Their message and branding Life Unfiltered is about beauty, and beauty is about harmony and balance and being open to see all of the magnificent beauty that surrounds us at all times. It's not always easy to think beyond ourselves, but it's truly amazing when we are aware in the moment and taking it all in, waving back at the trees, don't you think?
And speaking of beautiful things, isn't the Ultimune bottle so pretty? I've been using the product for a little over a month now, and I'm hooked! Check out my 20 Favorite Skincare Tips for Radiant Skin.
Below is a little bit of info behind this amazing new approach to skincare.
Based on two decades of skin immunity research, Shiseido introduces the first technology in the world to directly approach the immunity of the skin. In 1991, Shiseido began its skin immunity research partnership with the Harvard Cutaneous Biology Research Center (CBRC) and uncovered the complex relationship between Langerhans cells and the skin's condition.
Accounting for 5% of all cells in the epidermal layer of the skin, the hard-working Langerhans cells form an intricate network that cover your entire epidermis, detecting foreign substances from the outside and warning other cells to fire up their immune functions.
Shiseido discovered that by addressing the function of the Langerhans cells, skin's immunity and strength is improved and skin can better deflect the immune- decreasing damage of aging, emotional stress, and external hazards like dryness, air pollution and UV rays.
The new Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate strengthens skin leaving it smooth, resilient, and glowing with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, the formula is infused with a relaxing and mood-elevating green floral fragrance called ImuCalm Compound which includes Rose and Lotus to reduce stress and help repair the skin's barrier function.
Do any of you already use Shiseido products and love your results too?
• Ultimune Complex – targets the function of Langerhans cells and promotes collagen production using a combination of CM Glucan, a yeast, Bulgarian Rose Water, and a highly moisturizing humectant.
• Botanicals – a unique anti-inflammatory botanical blend includes antioxidant, Gingko Biloba Leaf and Wild Thyme as well as Asian botanical, Japanese Shiso, to protect the skin from impurities and oxidized sebum.
I like to surround myself with things I find beautiful, which is why my office and studio are brimming with colors I adore and things that inspire me to get creative and live a beautiful life. How do you find beauty every day?
* This post is brought to you by Shiseido for a fun Pinterest collaboration called Life Unfiltered surrounding their new Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate. All opinions are my own.

When marketing new products and services, sometimes you need to provide some education. Do your potential customers know much about what you're selling?
But if you've developed some new technology or a whole new service category, you've got a more serious education task. You might have to teach people what it is you've come up with, what it does, and why they need it. This all needs to happen before anyone even thinks of buying.
If your company has the first vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, you might need to tell people what they are, and how they can be used in practical applications. If you're the first to turn recycled beer bottles into growing media for hydroponics, the benefits of that vs. the media that's been used for years might need to be explained. Or if you're the first to purify water with a new mixed oxidant technology, you might want to tell people why that's a better way to clean water.
You're asking people to change, so you'd better have some pretty good reasons why.
First decide, am I selling a new product or service? If so, think about educating, then selling.
If you're just selling more of the same, you've got a different challenge: differentiating yourself.


In a working paper, "Policies and Structures for Spinning Off New Companies from Research and Development Organizations", Roberts and Malone (March 1995) developed a matrix of high and low levels of support and high and low levels of selectivity and showed the likely implications and results of the support and selectivity policies in terms of the technology licensing office's role in the spin-off process. The authors observed that only the low support/low selectivity and high support/high selectivity quadrants of the matrix appear to be rational and viable. (Please see the Support and Selectivity Policy matrix below).
Low support/low selectivity (many ventures but with little support for the ventures) reduces the cost of the spin-off operation but seek safety in numbers. Choice is left to external agencies (such as business angels and venture capital funds) that are generally felt to have greater experience and expertise in "picking winners.
"Policies and Structures for Spinning Off New Companies from Research and Development Organizations: Edward Roberts and Denis Malone, March 1995, MIT Sloan School of Management and Industrial Research Limited, New Zealand.
In underdeveloped entrepreneurial contexts that lack a strong entrepreneurial community to provide market selection and resource allocation functions, their research favour adoption of high selectivity and high support policy that are aimed at developing ventures capable of pursuing opportunities with high growth potential. High support/high selectivity (a few well-supported ventures) relies on picking potential winners and supporting them so that they have every chance of success.
Footnote: The EDB/SPRING SEEDS funding scheme, matching capital with business angels' investment, is an example of the low support/low selectivity policy.

Q: How to query a date that have 20 or more documents in mongoDB in the same day and hour I have a mongoDB database structure like this
{
  _id: ObjectId,
  name: string,
  scheduledDate: ISOString
}

I want to return all scheduledDates that repeat the same scheduledDate day 2 times or more across all the database
Example:
{
  _id: ObjectId,
  name: 'example1',
  scheduledDate: "2022-04-15T05:44:00.000Z"
},
{
  _id: ObjectId,
  name: 'example1',
  scheduledDate: "2022-04-15T07:44:00.000Z"
},
{
  _id: ObjectId,
  name: 'example1',
  scheduledDate: "2022-04-18T02:44:00.000Z"
},
{
  _id: ObjectId,
  name: 'example1',
  scheduledDate: "2022-04-18T02:20:00.000Z"
},
{
  _id: ObjectId,
  name: 'example1',
  scheduledDate: "2022-04-18T02:44:00.000Z"
},
{
  _id: ObjectId,
  name: 'example1',
  scheduledDate: "2022-04-10T05:44:00.000Z"
}

In this example 2022-04-15 repeats 2 times and 2022-04-18 repeat 3 times, so both match the criteria (2 times or more) so I want to return both date day
Is this possible?
Like this:
{
  scheduledDate:"2022-04-15T00:00:00.000Z"
},
{
  scheduledDate:"2022-04-18T00:00:00.000Z"
}

And one more question, is possible to do the same with hours? A list of specific hours of scheduledDate that repeat across all database X times

A: Use $group with $date and $dateTrunc
db.collection.aggregate([
  {
    $group: {
      _id: {
        $dateTrunc: {
          date: { $toDate: "$scheduledDate" },
          unit: "day"
        }
      },
      count: { $sum: 1 }
    }
  },
  {
    $match: {
      count: { $gt: 1 }
    }
  },
  {
    $project: {
      _id: 0,
      scheduledDate: "$_id"
    }
  }
])
