It's about a young man named Hafid in ancient times, which he learns from a very wealthy and successful man his secrets to success so the successful man shares his story of how he learned the secrets of success, when he was young himself, he was given 10 scrolls by a rich man, with a mandate to guard them with his life and pass them on before he died. Each Scroll contains a Principle enabling you to replace a bad habit with a good habit. According to the Author you have to read each scroll three times a day for thirty consecutive days.
Form good habits and become their slave. Habits are the difference between success and failure and in order to achieve success, you have to form good habits.
Love is the greatest secret of success, Love can be developed by always looking for the best in people but in order to love others, we must love ourselves first, treat ourselves with respect, and not be satisfied with anything but our finest efforts.
We should not give up until we succeed. We are born to succeed, not to fail. Defeat will not be considered and words such as quit, cannot, unable, and impossible are not part of our vocabulary. Every Failure moves us closer to success.
Everyone is different in appearance and ability and we should capitalize on rather than despise these differences. We must concentrate on the task at hand and have a work-life balance. We should constantly improve ourselves and work to become better than we are now.
Live each day as if it were your last, the duties of today should be done today. We should make every hour and minute count and trade it for something of value.
We are Masters of our own Emotions, each of us has the power to control our moods to create our own weather. If we bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness to all that we do, others will react in a similar manner. Strong is he who forces his actions to control his emotions.
We master our moods through positive action and when we master our moods we will control our destiny.
Cultivate the habit of laughter, Laughter puts events successes as well as failures into perspective. Whenever things seem too serious or dismal, repeat the word, "This too shall pass," and all the troublesome thoughts will seem lighter.
Seek out opportunities and experiences that will multiply in value, in order to "multiply in value," we must set goals for the day, week, month, year, and our life. We must not worry if we experience initial failure in reaching our goals; we compete only with ourselves. Upon reaching our goal, we multiply again by setting another and constantly make the next hour better than the present one.
Our dreams and plans are worthless and have no value unless they are followed by action so we act now. We must act now, Procrastination comes from fear, and we overcome fear only through action. It's better to act now and risk failure than to hold action and certainly fail.
Only, action gives life significance, if success is offered now, we must act now.
Almost everyone in a moment of terror will turn to god for help. But a true believer will pray for guidance, not only for help. He calls on God not for material things, but for the knowledge to understand the way to acquire what is needed. We must realize that sometimes we will not be given the sort of guidance we asked for, this too is an answer to our prayers. We pray for ability equal to the opportunity, for good habits, love, to use words well, to humbly forge through all obstacles, to reach worthwhile goals.
It's a good Book but it's not for everybody. In fact, it was hard to understand it for the first time, so I had to read it twice to actually understand it so far, this book is one of those books that inspire and offer practical tips for you. It's a tiny book with very powerful and helpful principles, if about how to empower yourself to be successful.
So I am recommending this book to Entrepreneurs and individuals who want to motivate themselves to be successful.

Evaluation of non-native species policy development and implementation within the Antarctic Treaty area
Antarctic non-native species legislation is contained within the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, with 2016 marking the 25th anniversary of its adoption. We take this opportunity to evaluate the Antarctic Treaty signatory Parties' collective development and implementation of non-native species policy. In general, scientific and policy outputs have increased in the past decade. However, data detailing Parties' current implementation of biosecurity practices are not readily available. Little widespread, internationally coordinated or systematic monitoring of non-native species establishment has occurred, but available data suggest that establishment of non-native micro-invertebrates may be greatly underestimated. Several recent small-scale plant eradications have been successful, although larger-scale eradications present a greater challenge due to seed bank formation. Invertebrate establishment within research station buildings presents an increasing problem, with mixed eradication success to date. The opportunity now exists to build on earlier successes, such as the 'CEP Non-native Species Manual', towards the development of a comprehensive response strategy based upon the principles of prevention, monitoring and response, and applicable to all Antarctic environments. To help facilitate this we identify areas requiring further research and policy development, such as to reduce anthropogenic transfer of indigenous Antarctic species between distinct biogeographic regions, avoid microbial contamination of pristine areas and limit introduction of non-native marine species. A response protocol is proposed for use following the discovery of a potential non-native species within the Antarctica Treaty area, which includes recommendations concerning Parties' initial response and any subsequent eradication or control measures.

People Age 65 And Older Now Eligible For COVID-19 Vaccine In Indiana
WVPE 88.1 Elkhart/South Bend | By Diane Daniels
Published February 1, 2021 at 9:36 AM EST
(PROVIDED BY IU HEALTH)
The Indiana Dept. of Health has just announced that more people are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. As of today the age threshold to receive the vaccine has been lowered to 65.
(You can read more below in a release from the IN Dept. of Health.)
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Health today announced that Hoosiers age 65 and older are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The vaccine is available at no cost, and appointments can be made by visiting https://ourshot.in.gov. Hoosiers who do not have access to a computer or cell phone or who need assistance with registration also can call 211 or contact one of Indiana's Area Agencies on Aging for assistance. A caregiver or loved one may make an appointment on behalf of an eligible senior.
The vaccine requires two doses to obtain full immunity. Appointments for the second dose will be made at the clinic when the first dose is administered.
Vaccine supply remains limited nationally. Indiana has adopted an age-based approach to expanding vaccine eligibility in order to fulfill its goals of reducing hospitalizations, saving lives and protecting vulnerable populations. Hoosiers age 60 and older comprise 22.5 percent of the population but account for 64.1 percent of hospitalizations and 93.3 percent of COVID-19 deaths.
Additional groups will be added as more vaccine becomes available. Updates will be posted at https://ourshot.in.gov.

Norwegian telecoms group Telenor has announced plans to invest more than USD1 billion in Pakistan following the allocation of 3G licences, ProPakistani cites Telenor president Jon Fredrik Baksaas as saying. In addition to the licence fee, Telenor will spend USD700 million on rolling out 3G networks nationwide. Baksaas noted that the prolonged delay in allocating 3G concessions has created a built up demand for the service and expects the growth rate for 3G subscriptions to be higher than other regional markets. According to TeleGeography's GlobalComms Database Telenor Pakistan was the second largest cellco by subscribers, with 30.84 million users as at end-March 2013, representing a market share of 25.3%.

Q: how to make scroll bar(even inactive) disappear using jquery i want that when a div increase than a height i have set, then only it should show scroll bar, otherwise the inactive scrollbar should also not be shown.
i am using the following code for this:
$(document).ready(function(){
        if($('.dialog-text').height()<=119 ){
    $(this).css('overflow-y', "hidden");

    }
    else{
    $(this).css('overflow-y', "scroll");
    }
});

obviously i must have done something wrong. please point it out or give a better solution.

A: Just use the auto value of overflow-y.
Remove the JS you've added, and add this style to the CSS:
.dialog-text
{
    height: 119px;
    overflow-y: auto;
}

auto value for overflow

Depends on the user agent. Desktop browsers like Firefox provide
  scrollbars if content overflows.

A: Your code only runs once, when your site loads. If your div changes content after loading then you need make a function to check the height and modify it if needed immediately after changing the content of the div, or use something like attrchange to listen to the height changes of the div, and hide the scrollbar if necessary.

This is where your prep work ahead of time will certainly repay. There are typically three actions in the sale process: signing an agreement, moving ownership of the deed and transferring ownership with the resort.
Before providing your timeshare available for sale you will certainly have to recognize all the perpetual, including resort name, unit number, season, use and dimension. For instance, Sheraton Vistana Lakes, system 1204, Red, Annual Usage, 2 bed room lock-off. You will require this information to prepare an accurate timeshare listing, yet you will likewise should define this details in the agreement. When you locate a buyer, you will should send them a duplicate of the contract to authorize as well as gather repayment.
Considering that traditional timeshare weeks are deeded real property, the county where your hotel is located will certainly have to tape-record the act in the name of your purchaser. Each county is slightly various, however generally talking you will have to execute and also swear a Grant Deed or Warranty Deed and your purchaser will certainly have to do the exact same.
Recording the act with the region could be a complex process. There are several reputable timeshare closing business that will aid in this procedure. Costs for their solution range in between $200 to $500; closing costs are usually previous on the customer so it is essential to pick a shutting firm upfront so you could include the specific quantity of shutting expenses in your listing.
The closing business will certainly also inform the hotel of the sale to make sure that a transfer of ownership with the hotel could take place. The hotels typically ask for a fee ranging between $0 to $250 to execute this function. Again, it is essential to consult with the resort upfront so this cost can be accurately priced quote in your listing. The customer commonly pays this charge as well.
You'll likewise need to manage purchaser desires on how long the procedure will certainly take so they know when they could start utilizing their timeshare. Hotel transfer and also act recording take 30-90 days, but could run longer if either body delays their process. This is very important to keep in mind considering that if you are offering a set week starting this year for the initial week of June, as well as you are noting your timeshare available in March of the very same year, their likely will not suffice time to record the action and also have the resort transfer ownership, triggering them to shed a week of use, which the buyer will have spent for. One solution for this circumstance is to define that usage will certainly start the list below year, which means the buyer will certainly should start paying upkeep charges the following year.
Lastly, get in touch with the resort and also find out the expense of upkeep costs for your device. You'll should price quote that in your listing. Bear in mind, purchasers don't like surprises. They will certainly need to know the exact quantity of all fees connected with having the timeshare. If you have actually been alerted by the hotel that there will certainly be an upcoming special evaluation, be sure to mention that also.
Bear in mind, due diligence is one of the most essential factors in offering your timeshare. Many customers of resale timeshares are experienced purchasers as well as could have several weeks. They commonly know precisely what they are searching for and how much they agree to pay. Any modifications to the info you offered in your listing or noninclusion of details might create you to shed the sale. Locating a buyer is difficult work, so make sure you give as much detail as possible in your listing and also your thoroughness will settle.

Review: Woody Allen's 'Irrational Man' – Sophie Gets A Great Shout Out
Review: Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Parker Posey Do Their Best Work in Woody Allen's Existential Morality Tale
Woody Allen is back in the land of "Crimes & Misdemeanors" and "Match Point" with "Irrational Man." His latest film, a morality tale murder mystery, was shown this morning in Cannes for the press and tonight opens out of competition. I thought it was certainly on the level of "Blue Jasmine," a real Woody winner that is disturbing and totally involving. I predict a massive ovation in the Palais des Festivals tonight.
The title "Irrational Man" is a nod to William Barrett, an American legend who brought the existentialists (Sartre, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, etc) here in 1958 with a book of the same name. The movie also embraces Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) who wrote about ethics and lying. Much is made of all of this in the film but you don't have to know more than Philosophy 101 to get this movie.
Joaquin Phoenix plays a washed up alcoholic womanizing philosophy profession who arrives at a liberal arts college in Newport, Rhode Island with more baggage than Kim Kardashian on a weekend holiday. Right away he gets involved with two women: Parker Posey is a married professor on campus who pursues him in an affair; Emma Stone is a student who falls for him before they even meet.
As Phoenix's Abe Lucas devolves (he's drunk, impotent and not much of what he was) he searches for a way to restart his life. He and Stone's Jill overhear a conversation in a diner that makes the movie take a sharp left. "Irrational Man" is not about a love triangle, but about Abe's overreach for redemption. He does something terrible, tries to rationalize it, and must live with consequences.
Woody's screenplay is deceptive because it's much more sophisticated than it appears at first. Forget all this older man-younger woman stuff (Phoenix is hardly an old man). The movie is about Abe thinking he's avenging a wrong (we never learn if that happens) and in the course of this, committing the most egregious act. Is he a hero or a villain? Or just a self-absorbed slob who cannot navigate life?
The fact remains that Phoenix is exceptional, Stone does maybe her best work, and Parker Posey makes us wonder why she's never been in a Woody Allen film before. The three of them anchor the film perfectly. There are several good supporting players, including Ethan Phillips and Betsy Aidem as Stone's parents. Plus, Bette Midler's real life daughter, Sophie von Haselberg, makes a sweet feature film debut as one of Stone's student friends. She's got a million dollar cherubic smile.
"Irrational Man" could teeter toward what we call the "smaller" Woody Allen films. But it's a movie of ideas that are framed in actual plot"" very economically told. It falls into place much like "Match Point," effortlessly. And even though you know what Abe is going to do"" and he does it"" you still want to see what the outcome is. The ending, which you can guess once you're toward the end, but I won't tell you here"" is sort of perfect for an existentialist.
Allen punctuates the film not with his usual New Orleans jazz or classic songbook, but Ramsey Lewis's jazz instrumental "The In Crowd" and other Lewis numbers that give the story an out of time feel. Cell flip phones are used occasionally but otherwise this movie could be taking place at any time before smartphones ruined our lives.

Aim: We aimed to incidental findings discovered in patients with suspected low back pain disease undergoing MRI of the lumbar spine and the clinical importance of those findings.
Material and Methods: One thousand seven hundred fourteen patients included who were admitted to our hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of low back pain were examined. The duration of low back pain complaints of the patients was ranging from 1 week to 4 years. MRI examinations were interpreted by academic neuroradiologists who had 7 years of experience, at the time of the study.
Results: Overall, 358 patients (20.9%) had incidental findings. Transitional vertebrae was the most common (134 cases, 7.8%) incidental finding, followed by vertebral hemangioma (65 cases, 3.8%) and Tarlov cyst (54 cases, 3.2%). The incidence of fatty filum terminale, compact bone island, spina bifida, synovial cyst and sacral meningocele was 2.1%, 1.5%, 1%, 0.8% and 0.7% respectively. Of these 1714 patients, 329 patients (92.06%) had one finding, 22 patients (5.95%) had two findings, and 7 patient (1.98%) had three findings.
The conus medullaris was terminated in 1710 (99.7%) of the patients (L1-2) .This level were considered normal. In four cases, the spinal cord was determined to be below the required level. The prevalence of transitional vertebra was 7.8%. The prevalence of sacralization and lumbalization was 5.1% and 2.7%, respectively.
Conclusion: In this study we showed that incidental findings are mostly benign but interestingly there were no malignant or potentially malignant incidental lesions.

Q: Is Injecting Repository dependency in Integration Testing is bad practice I am developing REST CURD API using Spring Boot and following TDD. I am starting with READ operation to test the READ works I have to prepopulate data in my DB. For this purpose I am using H2 DB and created my Repository and using this Repository in my Integration testing Setup step to populate the data before my GET actual data being executed. My college told me its bad practice using Repository in integration testing to create data for this GET operation test instead he suggested to call POST API endpoint in Setup step and Execute GET test also implement PUT and DELETE IT tests.
My question is

*

*Is injecting actual repository for purpose of data setup in Integration test class is wrong?

*Can we use/call and Endpoint (POST) in setup or in GET testcase before actual Test logic being executed?

*Can we call POST endpoint in init/setup and populate the data instead using Repository and implement GET,PUT,DELETE tests using POST data? Is advisable calling direct POST endpoint in setup for purpose of testing another endpoint in Test class and using @TestOrder annotation on class level.

Richard Feynman was never satisfied to simply know the answer to a problem; he had to puzzle the problem out for himself.
Richard Feynman was a curious character.
He advertised as much in the subtitle of his autobiography, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character. Everybody knew that, in many respects, Feynman was an oddball.
But he was curious in every other sense of the word as well. His curiosity about nature, about how the world works, led to a Nobel Prize in physics and a legendary reputation, both among physicists and the public at large.
Feynman was born 100 years ago May 11. It's an anniversary inspiring much celebration in the physics world. Feynman was one of the last great physicist celebrities, universally acknowledged as a genius who stood out even from other geniuses.
Apart from his brilliance as a physicist, Feynman was also known for his skill at playing the bongo drums and cracking safes. Public acclaim came after he served on the presidential commission investigating the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. In a dramatic moment during a hearing about that disaster, he dipped material from an O-ring (a crucial seal on the shuttle's rockets) into icy water, demonstrating that an O-ring would not have remained flexible at the launch-time temperature.
His autobiography had already become a best seller, so Feynman was well-known when he died in February 1988.
When I heard of Feynman's death, I called John Wheeler, Feynman's doctoral adviser at Princeton University before World War II.
Feynman's curiosity was not satisfied merely by being told the solution to a problem, though.
Feynman found fascination in all sorts of things, some profound, some trivial. In his autobiography, he revealed that he spent a lot of time analyzing ant trails. He sometimes entertained Wheeler's children by tossing tin cans into the air and then explaining how the way the can turned revealed whether the contents were solid or liquid.
Curiosity of that type was instrumental in the work that led to his Nobel Prize. While eating in the Cornell cafeteria, Feynman noticed someone tossing a plate, kind of like a Frisbee. As the plate flew by, Feynman noticed that the Cornell medallion on the plate was rotating more rapidly than the plate was wobbling. He performed some calculations and showed that the medallion's rotation rate should be precisely twice the rate of the wobbling. He then perceived an analogy to a problem he had been investigating relating to the motion of electrons. The wobbling plate turned out to provide the clue he needed to develop a new version of the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
"The whole business that I got the Nobel Prize for came from that piddling around with the wobbling plate," he wrote in his autobiography.
It was not curiosity alone that made Feynman a legend. His approach to physics and life incorporated a willful disdain for authority. He regularly disregarded bureaucratic rules, ignored expert opinion and was willing to fearlessly criticize the most eminent of other scientists.
Feynman knew that he sometimes made mistakes. Once he foolishly even read some papers by experts that turned out to be wrong, retarding his work on understanding the form of radioactivity known as beta decay. He vowed never to make the mistake of listening to "experts" again.

People Shaping Cities
One World Observatory – on a clear day, you can even see tomorrow
The view from the top of One World Trade Center is truly spectacular. But so is the technology that brings visitors up there – and the building on which it is perched.
As an ever-greater percentage of the Earth's people cluster into cities, the only way to grow is upward. But is there a way to merge the interests of our environment with the dizzying heights of urban growth? Since buildings are said to be responsible for 40% of the world's energy consumption, a key strategy toward the smart cities of the future will be to enable energy self-sufficiency in buildings, including reducing energy usage in their mobility solutions.
One World Trade Center is a prime example of how this can work.

Beacons of urban sustainability – Today's urban city planning creates future beacons for cities which convey the new messages of sustainability, green choices and living responsibly.
Welcome to the One World Observatory
High up, near the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, the One World Observatory at One World Trade Center is opening its doors for the first time this month with a series of pre-view events. From 29 May, the general public as well may visit and enjoy the unique panoramic views that the observatory offers of New York City and its most famous sites.
Visitors to the observatory are treated to an elaborate array of experiences. Thoughtfully crafted exhibits provide an opportunity for learning and reflection, within the historical narrative of where they stand. And of course, there is the main event, the 360 degree panorama so iconic of urban life: New York City itself. A variety of dining options are also available, including a sit-down restaurant, to encourage guests to take their time, and relax.
Like the venue, anticipation and curiosity are high. One World Observatory has already been named one of the world's hottest new travel experiences for 2015 by the travel gurus at Lonely Planet. But as visitors are whisked from the ground level to the 102nd floor at speeds upm to 23 mph (37 km/h), they are also participating in a bold leap into the future of sustainability.
In less than a minute, guests arrive at the One World Observatory. On the way, they have experienced more than 500 years of New York history, as the elevator walls come alive with a time-lapse panorama of Manhattan over the decades. Watch it here.
"It is more imperative than ever that the choices we make today about developing our cities are sustainable ones. With buildings responsible for 40% of the world's energy consumption and vertical mobility a major contributor to this figure, passenger transport technologies have a key role to play in building sustainable smart cities of the future."
Andreas Schierenbeck
Chairman of the Board, thyssenkrupp Elevator
Setting a green benchmark
The view offered at the top of One World Trade Center is open for all to see. However, what many visitors may miss is that this is one of the greenest large buildings in the world. The 3 million square feet of One World Trade Center are packed with energy-saving technologies. But sustainability at One World Trade Center is not simply a supplement to traditional architectural design. It is actually a new form of building construction, where the latest in high technology is incorporated into a cutting-edge building management system. The result is a holistic model for how to deal with the urban demands of tomorrow.
Specific pieces of this model include many commonly known measures, such as energy-efficient windows, interior daylighting and recycled construction materials. But there's more, including such uncommon elements as the use and repurposing of rainwater and the recycling of waste steam. There's also a unique water condenser system connected to the Hudson River that cools much of One World Trade Center and the state-of-the-art transportation hub underneath, designed to accommodate 250,000 commuters each day.
Certified Gold for New Construction 2.2 by LEED – the independent green building organization that identifies best-in-class building practices – One World Trade Center is clearly recognized as a place where tenants and visitors are pioneering sustainable solutions for a vertical future. Even if they can't see it, it's there.
Sustaining the future growth of cities with technology
Saving and generating energy
If the beating heart of One World Trade Center is sustainable building technology, then the systems used to move people through it are its arteries. And here, too, sustainability is built-in. For instance, the elevators are lit by LED lights, which save more than 78,000 kWh annually compared to halogen bulbs.
Meanwhile, the exteriors of the elevator cabs use special aluminum shrouds to deflect the air in the shaft. This increases the aerodynamics and allows the cabs to travel at a breathtaking 2,000 feet per minute. Even better, the same technology that allows for such speed also decreases the overall use of energy.
Visitors on their way down again from the One World Observatory will likely be processing memories of what they've just experienced. So it's not entirely necessary they also know that environmentally friendly regenerative drives are recapturing the elevator's unused energy as it slows, and returning it to the building's electrical system.
"Elevators can also operate as power generators. Regenerative drives use energy created when the cabins slow down and feed that back into the building's power grid. In the case of the thyssenkrupp elevators used in the new One World Trade Center, the energy generated through elevator use is enough to feed the lighting system of the entire building."
"The sheer magnitude of One World Trade Center posed unique vertical transportation and structural engineering challenges which required thoughtful engineering solutions."
Richard Hussey
President & CEO of thyssenkrupp Elevator Americas
People-centric innovation
Ultimately, it is people who should benefit most from the new technologies of sustainability. Some of these are more evident than others. One example greets visitors to the One World Observatory at the entrance to the elevators. There, Destination Dispatch technology silently and smoothly directs passengers towards their designated elevators. Wait times are minimized, crowd sizes are reduced, and security enhanced, to ensure a more pleasant journey for everyone.
Once in the elevator, passengers may be too excited to remark on the minimized cab vibration provided by advanced active roller guides. And they may be too enthralled by the story unfolding on the floor-to-ceiling screens on their elevator walls to notice the reduction in exterior noise made possible by customized acoustic dampening. But perhaps that's the point of good technology: it should make things better for people without obviously interfering with their lives.
Buy a ticket – see the future
29 May marks the opening of One World Observatory, and the inauguration of a new world landmark for New York City. Tickets are available in several different categories, including discounts for children, seniors, schools and community groups. In addition, complimentary admission is available to family members who lost their loved ones on 9/11, and to rescue and recovery workers who responded on 9/11 and the ensuing months.
One World Trade Center was originally conceived as a symbol of the resilience of the human spirit. But it has fast evolved into a potent symbol of how humanity can rise to the challenges of growing urban populations through dramatically increased energy efficiency.
Prepare to be amazed by the sights and your experience of One World Observatory. But on your way there, take a look around. Try to spot evidence of the technology of the future. Soon, it will be a part of everyone's urban life.
What is it like at the top? What is it like to get there? Take a virtual journey from the ground level to the One World Observatory and see for yourself. Enjoy the trip!

Ivo Alfredo Thomas Serue (), mai cunoscut după numele său de scenă Khea, este un trapper argentinian.

A început, ca mulți alți tineri din Argentina, forțându-și cariera pe străzi, crescând pentru a-și da o identitate muzicală.

Biografie
De la o vârstă fragedă și-a dezvoltat gustul pentru muzică, de aceea a decis să se dedice ca cântăreț. Primii pași ai lui Khea în industria muzicală au fost participarea la diferite festivaluri de muzică și a desfășurat mici activități de freestyle care l-au determinat să se adâncească în această fațetă în curs de dezvoltare rapidă. Înainte de a împlini 18 ani, Khea făcea deja primele sale compoziții

După ce a participat la câteva bătălii de rap în piețele din Buenos Aires, s-a alăturat lui Mueva Records. Videoclipul muzical "Loca", în colaborare cu Cazzu și Duki obținând 461 de milioane de vizualizări pe platforma YouTube, acesta fiind cel mai vizionat videoclip din țara argentiniană, a lansat ulterior un remix al melodiei Loca cu artistul urban Bad Bunny obținerea a peste 139 de milioane de vizite pe YouTube.

În mai 2019, a ajuns la 14 milioane de ascultători lunari pe Spotify, poziționându-se ca fiind 180 dintre cei mai ascultați din lume.

Saskatoon's Sherwood Chevrolet had been experiencing good growth since the economic crisis of 2008 but, like all car dealerships, it recognized that brand loyalty fades easily and competition is fierce. Especially since the quality and features in vehicles are often very similar. For its 45th anniversary, it wanted to get a jump on competition with an innovative multichannel marketing campaign. The idea was to sell 45 cars for just $45 over the wholesale cost of the vehicles to honour 45 years in business.

Posted on September 10, 2014 by Paul Mirengoff
Obama again comes up short
In his mercifully brief address to the nation about ISIS, President Obama assured Americans that the military action he has in mind will differ from the action we took under President Bush in Iraq and Afghanistan. In those campaigns, we used U.S. ground troops. In the upcoming campaign, we will not, relying instead on Iraqi forces and Kurds in Iraq and the Free Syrian Army in Syria.
While some may find Obama's distinction reassuring, we should not forget that the action President Bush took in Iraq and Afghanistan accomplished its primary mission. Saddam Hussein's forces were routed and his regime fell. The Taliban was routed and its regime fell.
Obama says his mission against ISIS is intended to achieve a similar goal — the degradation and destruction of that outfit. Will it succeed, absent the commitment of U.S. ground forces? There is plenty of reason to doubt that it will.
Let's start with Iraq. There, the boots on the ground will be supplied, Obama hopes, by Kurds and the Iraq government. Are these forces, supported by the U.S. from the air, capable of destroying ISIS or, alternatively, driving it out of Iraq?
There is little reason to believe they are. It took a substantial U.S. troop commitment to drive al Qaeda in Iraq, ISIS's earlier incarnation, out of Anbar province in 2007. And al Qaeda in Iraq was a smaller, less battle hardened, and less well-armed force than ISIS.
Syria seems even more problematic. There, Obama will rely not on a regular army (as in Iraq), but on a group that just last month he ridiculed as a collection of former doctors, farmers, and pharmacists.
Actually, the Free Syrian Army did not deserve that level of ridicule. Its core, as I understand it, consists of former elements of Assad's army.
Nonetheless, Obama may well have been right when, in the same remarks, he described as "fantasy" the idea that this force, even if armed with sophisticated U.S. weapons, could prevail in the Syrian civil war.
Keep in mind first that the Free Syrian Army exists to fight the Assad regime, not to serve as a U.S. proxy force against ISIS. Second, by all accounts the Free Syrian Army has steadily lost strength and influence thanks in part to Obama's failure, for years, to support it.
Will the provision of U.S. arms and air support at this late date reverse this trend? Possibly.
But will the reversal be dramatic enough to enable the Free Syrian to fight off Assad forces (backed by Hezbollah and Iran) and degrade and defeat ISIS? Doubtful. I fear that we'll be lucky if the weapons we supply don't fall into the hands of ISIS and/or other forces hostile to our interests.
Speaking of Assad, does Obama plan to use air power against his regime if necessary to protect the Free Syrian Army and keep it viable as our proxy in the fight against ISIS? I don't know. Perhaps Obama hopes to make a side deal with Assad and Iran to protect the Free Syrian Army in exchange for its giving up the fight against Assad.
Or maybe Obama has no strategy to deal with this contingency.
More broadly, we are left to wonder how real Obama's campaign against ISIS actually will be. Will Obama actively work to keep his proxy forces, such as they are, engaged in the fight against ISIS? Does he have a Plan B? Or was Obama simply checking a few boxes tonight in the hope of stopping the political bleeding his presidency and his Party is experiencing?
I don't know. I was not reassured, however, when Obama, compared his strategy for dealing with ISIS to the one he has employed in Yemen and Somalia. For one thing, as I argued here, ISIS is not analogous to the terrorists we are dealing with in Yemen and Somalia. Beyond that, the U.S. hasn't destroyed the terrorists in those two countries. In fact, things seem to be going rather badly in Yemen.
At best, then, we have a president who, though finally taking ISIS seriously, has failed to devise a fully serious strategy. At worst, we have a president who still doesn't take ISIS very seriously except as a matter of domestic politics.

3 High-Growth Stocks That Could Be Worth $1 Trillion in 10 Years — Or Sooner
You can buy these three of the best Canadian high-growth stocks now to hold for the next decade.

TSX Today: What to Watch for in Stocks on Monday, January 30 - January 30, 2023
Published December 22, 2022 4:30 pm EST
| More on: BBCSUSHOP
High-growth stocks saw a massive crash in 2022 due to growing macroeconomic concerns led initially by high inflation and geopolitical tensions. No matter how pessimistically you think at the moment, today's bear market will eventually turn into a bull market in the future. Given that, it could be the right time you add some fundamentally strong high-growth stocks to your portfolio.
In this article, I'll highlight three of the best Canadian high-growth stocks that could have a combined value of nearly $1 trillion or more in the next decade or sooner.
BlackBerry stock
BlackBerry (TSX:BB) has seen slightly less than 60% value erosion in 2022 so far to trade at $5.10 per share. The Waterloo-based tech firm currently has a market cap of nearly $3 billion and generates most of its revenue from its cybersecurity software segment.
As businesses globally have cut their costs to deal with the economic environment this year, the sales growth trend of BlackBerry's cybersecurity segment has declined. Nonetheless, consistently growing demand for its QNX operating system from the auto industry continued to strengthen its IoT (Internet of Things) segment performance. The growth in its IoT segment is likely to improve massively in the coming years due mainly to its efforts to develop advanced technological solutions for autonomous vehicles. Given that, a sharp crash in BB stock this year could be an opportunity for long-term investors to buy it at a bargain.
Shopify stock
Slightly more than a year ago, the Canadian e-commerce giant Shopify (TSX:SHOP) was trading close to its record highs. Since then, the stock has tanked by nearly 78% to currently trade at $49.26 per share, partly due to the broader market selloff. Despite these losses, the stock currently has a market cap of $62 billion. And based on its future growth potential, I wouldn't be surprised if this value multiplies fast in the coming years.
During Black Friday and Cyber Monday weakened, the total sales of Shopify merchants reached a new record of US$7.5 billion, showcasing the consistent strength of its platform. In the last year, Shopify's financial growth rate has significantly declined on a year-over-year basis amid reopening economies in the post-pandemic era. Nonetheless, the demand for its easy-to-use e-commerce services remains solid and is expected to rise further in the coming years with more business trying to build their online presence. This should boost SHOP's sales and earnings growth in the coming years and help its stock rally.
Constellation Software stock
Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) is another fundamentally strong high-growth stock in Canada that has the potential to grow significantly in value in the long term. This Toronto-headquartered tech firm has a market cap of $45.4 billion at the moment, as its stock trades at $2,144.50 per share with 10.2% year-to-date value erosion.
Interestingly, despite its sharp losses in 2022, CSU stock has delivered more than 1,700% positive returns to investors in the last 10 years, even after excluding dividends. Despite industry-wide challenges, Constellation Software continued to post strong growth in the first three quarters of 2022 with the help of its continued strategic acquisitions. Moreover, its strong financial position, robust cash flows, and ability to perform well, even in the difficult economic environment, make CSU stand out from most other high-growth stocks, making it worth considering for the long term.
The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Shopify. The Motley Fool recommends Constellation Software. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy. Fool contributor Jitendra Parashar has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

It work as expected on my local machine, but when I deploy it on a live server. It just keeps firing the callback saying that image is generated. But underneath, the process is still generating the image. (i.e) The filename is generated, but it has no size and contents. After 10 minutes the file will be populated with the image data. However the fonts did not render correctly.
here is the screenshot:
and heres my webshot code:
var options = {
  screenSize: {
   width: 403,
   height: 403
  },
  shotSize: {
    width: 403,
   height: 403
  },
  script: function() {
    $(function() {
      window.callPhantom('takeShot');
    });
  },
  takeShotOnCallback: true
};

webshot(baseUrl+frame_url, path, options, function(err) {
    if(err){
      return res.json({ok:false, error:err.error || err});
    }
    return res.json({image:baseUrl+img,ok:true});
  });

So technically I have 2 problems here:

*

*Webshot returns the callback even though the image generation is not finished yet.

*The generated image does not render the fonts correctly. (Im using Google fonts here).

Is there any of fixing the issue? I can see that this is related to How do you take a screenshot of an angularjs app?
Or are there any good alternatives to node-webshot and phantomjs?

A: I'm pretty new to webshot and phantom myself, but it seems you are providing an anonymous function there, which will execute as soon as possible REGARDLESS of whether your images are generated or not. If you want to wait for all the images to load before calling window.callPhantom, you may want to try something like
script: function() {
    window.onload = function() {
        if (window.callPhantom === 'function') {
            window.callPhantom('takeShot');
        }
    };
},

window.onload will only be called once all the assets on the page have been loaded. It probably worked fine on your local machine because the assets were loaded much faster, BEFORE your anonymous function was called.
EDIT: I tried this (and other similar things) myself: it DOES NOT WORK. I've also tried putting the callPhantom code on the client side:
<script>
    window.onload = function() {
        if (typeof(window.callPhantom) === 'function') {
            window.callPhantom('takeShot');
        }
    };
</script>

ALSO does not work (it doesn't break the page, though).
I'll keep at this and post my findings here, even if I end up abandoning webshot all together.
EDIT: So two things -- firstly, having re-read the question this has more to do with fonts rather than images (meaning probably a duplicate of Some issues capturing web page image with, node-webshot). Secondly, it turns out the reason behind why my webshot setup wasn't working because of snapping timing, but SSL issues on phantom level (PhantomJS failing to open HTTPS site).
I feel like I've been barking up the wrong tree for the past few days, but it feels good to finally get to the bottom of things. One lesson (among many) I learned in this ordeal is that any problems you encounter using webshot may be at phantom-level. Below is the code I used to view phantom's network activities (modified the pizza example from the module). Just copy it into a js file and run it with phantom (> phantom test.js)
var page = require('webpage').create(),
    url = 'http://some.url.you.want.to.test';

page.onResourceRequested = function(request) {
  console.log('Request ' + JSON.stringify(request, undefined, 4));
};
page.onResourceReceived = function(response) {
  console.log('Receive ' + JSON.stringify(response, undefined, 4));
};
page.onResourceError = function(resourceError) {
  console.log('Unable to load resource (#' + resourceError.id + 'URL:' + resourceError.url + ')');
  console.log('Error code: ' + resourceError.errorCode + '. Description: ' + resourceError.errorString);
};
page.open(url, function (status) {
    if (status !== 'success') {
        console.log('Unable to access network');
    } else {
        console.log(status);
    }
    phantom.exit();
});

Ice-T Updates Dr. Dre Brain Aneurysm Condition: "Home, Safe And Looking Good"
Bubble Watch: Status Report On 'Once', 'Elementary', '2 Broke Girls', 'Exorcist', 'Timeless' & Other Series In Limbo
NBC Opens Tuesday Comedy Block With 'Young Rock' & 'Kenan' As 'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' Goes On Hiatus
While a number of broadcast series at all five networks already have secured early renewals a month before the upfronts, there are quite a few that are yet to hear, some of them heavily on the bubble. Here is rundown of the broadcast scripted series whose fate beyond this season has not been unveiled yet, along with my assessment of their chances. You can stay up to date with the status of the current TV series with Deadline's Series Renewal Status Scorecard.
CBS already has renewed 19 series for next season, including 16 comedies and dramas, leaving only several in limbo.
The highest profile CBS series yet to learn their fate are veterans Elementary and 2 Broke Girls. Elementary surprisingly did not make the list of early renewals for the first time, spending its first spring on the bubble. But I hear the crime drama, 100% owned by CBS, looks good to return and is making writer staffing deals for next season. While its linear ratings in the Sunday 10 PM hour are soft (7.7 million viewers, 1.1 in 18-49 Live+7), the series has off-network and SVOD deals with WGN America, Hulu Plus and broadcast stations that fetch in as much as $3 million total per episode; and it is a nice international seller too. Just last May, CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves used Elementary as an example of a program ownership success story, telling investors that the show had "made approximately an $80 million profit for the corporation" the previous year.
PILOTS 2017: Very, Very Early Buzz Edition
2 Broke Girls, now in Season 6, is likely to go down to the wire as CBS and producer Warner Bros. TV are locked in intense negotiations. The sitcom, which got off to a blazing hot start in its first season, has been a utility player for CBS. Its L+7 adults 18-49 average, 1.9 rating, matches that for renewed CBS comedies Mom and Life In Pieces. It ranks above picked up Man With A Plan and Superior Donuts and is CBS' youngest-skewing comedy. But CBS has no ownership in 2 Broke Girls while having to cover its costs because of the show's age. Meanwhile, 2 Broke Girls holds the record for the biggest off-network comedy series sale, earning Warner Bros. TV $1.7 million an episode from TBS alone. I hear CBS may be trying to tap into the studio's lucrative backend, making negotiations even tougher. There is too much money at stake not to make a deal in the end, but it will be tough.
Hopes are fading for The Great Indoors, the only freshman CBS comedy series that has not been renewed yet. The comedy, which has some internal support at CBS, failed to take full advantage of its strong lead-in, The Big Bang Theory, and it also didn't pass a recent test, logging mediocre ratings for a special Monday airing. Also unlikely to continue is The Odd Couple reboot after a low-rated third season. Medical drama Code Black clinched a last-minute renewal last season and, while being a long shot, should not be written off just yet despite modest ratings. The medical drama, from ABC Studios and CBS Studios, is liked by CBS brass, the network does not have a medical drama pilot for next season and observers see a scenario for Code Black to possibly come back if CBS could negotiate a license fee reduction with ABC Studios. Also heavily on the bubble, and possibly on the wrong side of it, is another ABC Studios/CBS TV Studios co-production, the low-rated Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, whose mothership series was recently renewed by CBS for next season.
As for the two unscripted CBS veterans left on the bubble, the Emmy-winning The Amazing Race and Undercover Boss, the expectation is that the reality staples will return in some shape or form based on their pedigree. They also may be needed for plum spots in case there is a writers strike.
There is no chance for the other three CBS series — midseason dramas Doubt, which was yanked from the schedule after two airings; Training Day, which was banished to Saturdays and also tragically lost its star Bill Paxton; and fall entry Pure Genius, which did not get a back order after an anemic initial run.
ABC so far only has renewed the original TGIT lineup of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder and comedy The Middle.
On the drama side, freshman drama Designated Survivor, a strong delayed viewing and international performer (ABC Studios co-produces with indie Mark Gordon Co.) is certain to come back,and in anticipation of a renewal the series is in the process of hiring a new showrunner. Things also look promising for veteran Once Upon a Time, contingent on closing deals with four cast members identified to lead a planned reimagining of the series, Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle and Colin O'Donoghue. I hear the show is meeting with writers as two of its key producers, Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, left to become co-showrunners on Fear the Walking Dead. Even Quantico, which has been struggling this season after a solid first year, appears likely to continue as it makes money for ABC Studios via international and SVOD (Netflix) deals. (It also features a global star in Priyanka Chopra.) Ditto for Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., which serves as a marketing platform for the Disney-owned Marvel. The Catch survived a low-rated first season to clinch a second-season renewal as part of TGIT. A creative reboot heading into Season 2 did not lead to a ratings boost as The Catch continues to lag far behind TGIT's Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and HTGAWM, with its ratings also below two new fall ABC dramas that are not expected to come back, Notorious and Conviction. While a third season of The Catch appears a long shot, there is internal support for the series, which has appealing leads in Peter Krause and Mireille Enos, a big producer behind it, Shondaland, and potential international play for ABC Studios. ABC's prestige drama American Crime is heavily on the bubble with low ratings offset by strong critical acclaim, leaving ABC to weigh the two and make a renewal decision. Not expected to be in the running for a third season is anthology crime drama Secrets & Lies, with swiftly pulled midseason drama Time After Time also gone.
The bulk of ABC's comedy lineup looks hopeful to return. Modern Family and The Goldbergs, which come from outside studios, are in negotiations for new seasons. Black-ish and American Housewife, both from ABC Studios, are considered sure bets. Black-ish is a rare acclaimed broadcast comedy series, it does well in the ratings and has been selling off-network, making money for the company. Meanwhile, American Housewife is one of ABC's most promising new comedy series this season, along with Speechless. It will likely be another complex negotiation season between ABC and 20th Century Fox TV, which co-produces Speechless with ABC Studios and produces Modern Family as well as Fresh Off the Boat and Last Man Standing. Neither is in serious danger of cancellation though there will likely be some wheeling and dealing involved as ABC and 20th TV go down to the wire on renewals every year. Friday ABC comedy Dr. Ken is heavily on the bubble, with its future possibly tied to larger negotiations between leading studio Sony TV and ABC. Not expected to continue is sophomore family comedy The Real O'Neals, the lowest-rated of ABC's Tuesday and Wednesday comedies, with the network's newest half-hour addition, Imaginary Mary also looking unlikely.
Fox has renewed flagship Empire as well as Lucifer and freshmen Lethal Weapon, Star and The Mick.
Expectation is that the Batman drama Gotham would make it back eventually. And despite not getting a back order, there is talk that well-received new drama Exorcist also looks good to come back. Prospects are not as bright for Fox's fellow new fall drama that earned strong reviews and soft ratings, Dan Fogelman's baseball-themed Pitch, which appears unlikely, and I hear its writers are being released. Also heavily on the the bubble are sophomore crime procedural Rosewood, whose ratings dropped significantly in Season 2 after leaving the Empire ratings force field, and supernatural drama Sleepy Hollow, which flirted with cancellation last season too. But since Fox has only four drama pilots that are being produced, it is not inconceivable to keep any of them, possibly as backup. Both are owned by Fox; Sleepy Hollow does well for the studio internationally, while Rosewood is believed to be the most cost-efficient drama on the network, making low ratings more palatable. And then there is 24: Legacy. There were very high expectations for the reboot of Fox's signature drama, with the network giving it a post-Super Bowl launch. Based on that, 24: Legacy's delivery has been disappointing, with its future in limbo, possibly contingent on finding a premise for Season 2 that could re-energize the franchise. Still, with a marquee worldwide title and dearth of new drama options at Fox for next season, the reboot is in the mix. Fellow midseason drama entry APB is not expected to continue.
On the comedy side, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is considered a good utility player and is expected to return. The consensus is that veteran New Girl, a legacy show for Fox as it carried the torch for comedy at the network for a long time, would likely get a limited final season for a proper sendoff. Things are shaky for The Last Man On Earth, which has become more narrow in appeal with time, and freshmen Son of Zorn, which had been looking to find a new showrunner, and Making History. Neither has a made a strong argument to continue, but as all three come from top producers Pill Lord and Chris Miller, if one series should return, it may be Last Man.
The question at NBC is whether all five Dick Wolf shows — half of NBC's drama series in contention for next season — would come back.
Law & Order: SVU is an institution and still doing well, 18 seasons in. "We don't see a reason why SVU would go anywhere," NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said in January. There has been some chatter that one of the newer Chicago shows –– Chicago Med or Chicago Justice — may not continue. As can be expected after 30 years in business, the financial relationship between Wolf and NBC is complex, and, with few exceptions, network drama series are not as lucrative these days, with very limited possibilities in the SVOD and cable off-network space. There have been no syndication sales yet for Chicago Fire, now in Season 5, or Chicago PD, in Season 4. That said, flagship Chicago Fire is NBC's second-highest-rated and most watched drama series behind breakout This Is Us, which has been renewed for two seasons, and all four Chicago shows are performing respectably; they are higher rated than NBC's Shades of Blue, which was recently renewed for a third season. They still make money for NBC and are efficiently produced, with Wolf known for always delivering his shows on time and on budget.
With strong delayed viewing, The Blacklist remains one of NBC's top dramas, No.3 behind This Is Us and Chicago Fire. It is fully expected to come back though its spinoff, The Blacklist: Redemption, has disappointed and is on the wrong side of the bubble at the moment. Both shows come from Sony TV, which also has Timeless on the bubble at NBC. It is one of two dramas, along with Warner Bros. TV's Blindspot, which find themselves in a similar position where they are hopeful though not certain to come back. With some DVR help, I hear both have done OK not great in the ratings but well enough for the network to not lose money on them. Both shows have strong lead casts — Sullivan Stapleton & Jaimie Alexander (Blindspot); Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter & Malcolm Barrett (Timeless) — and have developed a following, creating a dilemma for NBC whether to stick with series that already have established (albeit modest) viewership or spend tens millions of dollars to market new shows that may or may not stick. Additionally, Timeless has drawn praise for its depicting of history, recently earning recognition from the Smithsonian, with talk to potentially move the series from 10 PM, where it aired this season, to an earlier time slot where families with kids can watch. NBC's midseason action thriller Taken is meeting with writers for a potential second season, though there is no decision yet, while fellow newbie Emerald City is not expected to continue.
On the comedy side, NBC already has renewed Superstore and The Good Place. The two midseason entries, the true crime spoof Trial & Error and DC-themed Powerless, have been ratings-challenged, though Trial & Error has been well received, and I hear there are conversations about a second installment of the anthology comedy. Powerless appears a long shot. The network is yet to premiere two new comedies, Great News and Marlon.
On the unscripted side, NBC has bubble series The Celebrity Apprentice, which will likely go dormant, at least for awhile, after a season marred by constant attacks from executive producer (and former star), President Donald Trump.
The CW has renewed almost all of its current scripted series — 9 in total — only leaving midseason entries The Originals and iZombie for a May decision. I hear Rob Thomas' iZombie is the hotter of the two as there are questions about the future of The Vampire Diaries spinoff The Originals with the mothership series gone, though I hear limited runs for both series are very much on the table. A second season for new fall series No Tomorrow and Frequency is highly unlikely.

No sensible person should doubt the fundamental justice of arguments for reparations for the historic crimes of slavery, Jim Crow, and today's prison state. Accomplishing reparations would require a massive political realignment. But is reparations today a political movement, or is it an empty brand available for African American public figures in need of a little blackwashing?
Why is Ta Nehisi Coates suddenly a public reparista, and what does this say about the reparations movement?
Back in the day when black politicians used to fall out of favor, their friends ratting each other out before grand juries and prosecutors combing their personal records for evidence of wrongdoing, the standard thing for the political figure to do was to get very publicly right with Jesus. The church, after all, seems to never turn anybody down.
Nowadays a disgraced black politician is as likely to blacken herself up with a public embrace of reparations in addition to the old confession of religious faith. Like the church, all one has to do to join the reparations movement is to make that confession of faith, a kind of secular Shahada.
Nobody here at Black Agenda Report disagrees with the fundamental justice of the case for reparations. But it's a just cause with a huge problem. Reparations for the descendants of slaves, the victims of historic Jim Crow and the current prison state is an immense political project. But apart from a single piece of legislation and a few lawsuits over the last 30 years, reparistas seem to take no responsibility for proposing, discussing or advancing even the sketchiest of political roadmaps to bring us to reparations.
I'm a lifelong socialist, somebody who believes political mountains can and must be moved. But when proponents of reparations don't even try to discuss what the needed political coalitions might look like, what sectors of society we need to win over to make reparations happen, or how many years or decades all this might take, are they acting like a political movement, or like something else? What kind of political movement advances no measures, discusses no plans, takes no responsibility for advancing its own just cause? The answer is that movements don't behave like that at all. But brands do.
Brands neither say what they mean, nor mean what they say. Brands are stories, brands are narratives contrived to get specific emotional reactions, to pull real or imagined memories, sights, smells or feelings from a target audience. To do this brands operate outside of and independent from fact and/or logic. Reparations is not a movement, it's a brand.
A centerpiece of the reparations brand is the study bill that Rep. John Conyers has introduced in every one of the last dozen Congresses except the 110th and 111th. In those two Congresses, Rep. Conyers, with four decades of seniority finally chaired the powerful House Judiciary Committee with the ability to make demands or cut deals to move the study bill, or at least the discussion of reparations. If reparations was a political project instead of a brand, he would have done just that. But Conyers put the reparations study bill in his desk drawer until Republicans re-took the House and he no longer had that power. Safely back in the minority again in early 2011, he re-introduced the reparations study bill once more.
After five and a half years of the Obama presidency, during which the problems of black America were ignored and in some cases made worse, some of his black enablers and apologists feel the need to get their ghetto passes re-stamped. Wrapping themselves in the reparations brand is their way of asserting fictive allegiance to African Americans along with some imaginary distance from the president. If Wal-Mart and BP pretending to be environmentally responsible is greenwashing, this is blackwashing.
