Q: Can not open devtools I can not open chrome dev-tools by url when using nativescript via angular:
chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?experiments=true&ws=localhost:40000
But when copied the link and paste to google chrome, the result is just search
I tried to reinstall google chrome. Delete node_modules folder, package-lock file, and reinstall npm. But can't resolve problem

A: Chrome 83 broke the devtools url. There's a fix to the NativeScript CLI in 6.7.4 but in the meantime you can just use this url instead:
devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?ws=localhost:40000

Judge Judy Tells Us Just How Wise She Thinks Obama ISN'T! VIDEO
19 Jan, 2017 by	Sierra Marlee
I love Judge Judy, even when she's not talking politics. Watching her absolutely eviscerate stupid people is better than cake, but when those stupid people are in charge of our country, it's that much more epic.
She was asked about her thoughts regarding Obama's decision to commute the sentence of Chelsea Manning and she did NOT hold back.
A clip shared by gossip website TMZ shows the good Judge slamming Obama in only 8 words. It is glorious.
When Judge Judy was first asked by a TMZ videographer about the grant of leniency made by Obama only days before he is to leave office, the 74-year-old TV personality declined to offer an opinion.
The TMZ reporter, however, didn't take no for an answer as Sheindlin walked from a New York restaurant to a waiting car.
"I didn't think it was a wise judgment," Sheindlin then said, refusing to comment any further.
"I gave you my one answer," she told the reporter. "Goodnight."
Obama has made a lot of unwise decisions over his 8-year Presidency, but this really takes the cake. I still can't believe that he actually decided to commute the sentence of a man who put lives in danger by leaking classified information to WikiLeaks.
Judge Judy said exactly what the rest of us are thinking.

Randy Edsall's second tenure at UConn is starting a little bit like how his first stint ended: with some controversy. Shortly after returning as the Huskies' head coach and rounding out his coaching staff, Edsall and UConn have been in spotlight for their actions on the recruiting trail.
High school linebacker Ryan Dickens from Hazlet, New Jersey was offered a scholarship by former head coach Bob Diaco in June and planned on signing his National Letter of Intent in less than three weeks to play for the Huskies. So it was a surprise to Dickens and his family that three days after new linebackers coach Jon Wholley met with Dickens to discuss his next visit and signing day, Edsall called and told him that they would be rescinding his scholarship offer and going in a different direction.
Dickens was unsurprisingly shocked, and is now in a tough position, tasked with finding a new school with signing day fast approaching. Edsall's decision to pull Dickens' offer made waves on the internet Monday after news broke in a nj.com story. Various news outlets like Deadspin weighing in on how and why Edsall's actions were wrong. UConn fans and college football fans in general weighed in too, and many echoed those statements.
From a moral standpoint, having a school tell someone like Dickens they want him only to bail at the last minute certainly seems messed up, but here's the thing: Edsall isn't the first coach to do it, and certainly won't be the last. New coaches routinely pull scholarships from players who committed under the old regime, and Dickens, who committed when Diaco was coach, is no different. Stories like this pop up like clockwork around this time of year. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh did it when he took over Michigan, pulling a scholarship from an offensive tackle that committed over two years prior. Randy Edsall's replacement at Maryland, D.J. Durkin, did it too. But for whatever reason, UConn's actions became a national story. Even Paul Finebaumgot in on the action.
While it still may seem messed up, there are logical reasons for new coaches to do this. Changes in schemes or objectives may make some players expendable. New coaches might identify different needs and therefore will free up scholarships as needed to address them. Some coaches may feel like players that committed under the old coach simply aren't good enough. While it seems like it's all to benefit the school or the new coach, it does benefit the players too. If they choose to sign regardless of a coaching change and don't play their first year and want to transfer, they lose that year of eligibility. By cutting ties before signing day, players have a better chance to play right away.
Dickens is no different. While the news is upsetting and frustrating for him and his family, he will land on his feet. Dickens- who is by all accounts a great student and equally good football player, recording over 300 tackles in his high school career- has already picked up a full scholarship offer from Rhode Island, and while it is an FCS school, other FBS programs may swoop in late. His story is unfortunately one that is all too common in collegiate sports. Then again, when an organization like the NCAA is in charge – one that has shown little regard to current athletes, let alone prospective ones – it's not surprising. Until changes are made in the recruiting process like the addition of an early signing period, to name one, future college athletes will have stories much likes Dickens for years to come.

Singapore's Arbite invites you to swing by for an exceptional meal at the restaurant's premises in Serangoon. A play on words, this international restaurant's name comes from the German word Arbeit, meaning 'work'. Indeed, it takes a lot of work to run this restaurant, and it really does pay off – the food here is unlike anywhere else in town. Whether you stop in for brunch, lunch or dinner, you're going to be amazed by the sheer beauty of the dishes on offer. The food looks great, but wait until you taste it. You're in for a serious treat – try the beef rendang mac & cheese and prepare to be blown away. Book ahead to save your table at Arbite on Serangoon Garden Way.
2nd time here. Have to make reservation if you are coming on Saturday afternoon! The mushroom soup is nice and so is the rice set I ordered.
It's my second time at the restaurant/cafe, everything was as good as the first! The place is really packed when we were there for our Saturday (21 Jul '18) brunch so be sure to make a reservation. The cost is slightly pricey but the food is fantastic. Special mention to the male host who greeted everyone with a warm smile & prompt service.
Great ambience with youthful vibes and Loads of Natural Light. Most imp Excellent Food !! Innovative, Sumptuous & Delicious options at fair pricing. Shall return for sure !! It's good to reserve the seat in advance especially for Sunday Brunch.


I have a very close friend, about 70 years old, who sat down with me and said he's scared shitless," says Chris Paradiso, owner of Paradiso Insurance in Stafford Springs, Conn.
I remember when disillusionment overcame me in the first hour of our first battle in which I had to face up to the unpleasant fact that I was not only afraid--I was scared shitless.
I first thought I got to ride shotgun because I was the one who helped Tio with the car, but then I realized it was just because everyone else was scared shitless.
I had no idea how to get into college and was scared shitless of God's judgment.
I was really surprised by how cool I was, because I was scared shitless," she recalls.
The new dealers: is the recession driving Americans into the economy's last growth sector?
I say I bet it touches him just as much when we're scared shitless, or what kind of mean alien freak is he anyway?


That's great DangerRanger! Are those appointments from cold calling, sphere, fsbo, expired?
3 of the 4 listing appointments are from cold calls done in the last week and 1 of the 2 listings is from cold calling--its also a $1.3M motivated seller too which is always nice. The 4th appointment/2nd listing is a referral from a past client I keep in touch with. With what I have in the pipeline for the month, and with another 2 weeks of calls, I expect I should go on at least another 2-3 appointments but even if I don't hit that number I'm happy with how the month is panning out considering how quiet December usually is.
When are you guys planning on taking a break from the calls over the holidays? I was planning on going up to the 20th and then planned on doing 3-4 days between Christmas and New Years but my wife was giving me hell for it, haha. Anyone else thinking about hitting the lines between the 27th-30th? Part of me thinks it could come across as tacky and unless I'm going to get results from the calls I'd rather spend the time with the family.
Here is an idea for people with low contact rates: Create a calling group in Mojo and call it say " Contacted Dec 2018". After talking to the contact, before you hit the red Contact button click on this group. In January 2019, create a list and name it Contacted Dec 2018 and transfer all those contacts from the same group to this list. Rename the group in January and repeat every month. Call this list in 3-4 month ( depending on how often you calling your list). I am getting a contact rate of 30-40% with this. This will avoid wasting time by calling numbers that never pick up.
That is a really good idea. Crazy how low the pickup rate is for some of you guys! I find here that I almost always get about a 20% answer rate but some neighbourhoods are definitely better than others.
I used to get 20% pick-up rate a few years ago. But "no engrish" here. You're in God's country.
I plan to make calls until and including the 22nd, and start again the 27th til mid-day 31st. Not on New Years Day.
Business offices are usually open those days, and more people are home.
Gotta get leads for the new year!
How's December been going for everyone? I took a quick trip to visit family at the beginning of the month and caught a bad cold on my flight back home - that sucked to prospect through. I actually took most of last week off to rest and take CE classes for my license renewal. Got back on it yesterday and drummed up a buyer referral lead for 2019.
This morning I cold called an individual that has to move out-of-state in February or March and set a listing appointment for tomorrow afternoon- on the first contact, no less! I was actually going to hang up on the lead as it was dialing because I sat down at my desk and realized I didn't have my second set of headphones. Good thing I let that record dial through!
Any big GCIs this year/goals for next? Always like to hear from the guys who are crushing it - 300k+.
That's awesome. All cold calls?
I wish Alec could come into our office and drop the hammer on the loser Agents. Brokers need to thin the herd - taking anyone with a pulse doesn't cut it.
Wow Ronnie, that's incredible. Amazing results!
Damn straight! Check out this interview with a team leader in Nashville that requires all agents to dial 2-3 hours daily, and requires them to close 24 transactions in the first year (and 36 in their second year) to stay on the team.
I've only just gotten serious and taken $2 million in listings since the beginning of November. Goal is at least $120k GCI in 2019 - I know it's baby stuff, but once I have the cash flow to bring on an assistant I believe I will scale quite effectively. Also signed a listing last night from my cold call on Tuesday - about 30 hours from first contact to contract signed, completely cold!

We are commanded to worship the Lord with joy and happiness. When I come to the Lord, it's often with a to-do list or complaints, not joy and happiness.
The psalm goes on to say that God made us, we belong to him. We are to joyfully thank him for our very existence — because we certainly didn't make ourselves.
And I don't even say thank you?
A couple years ago, at St. James Cathedral for Mass, a man next to me pulled out a hair comb, placed a piece of tissue paper over it, and started playing it along with the hymn of praise. Its sound vibrated through me like some sort of otherworldly kazoo until I realized tears of joy were streaming down my face. At the end of Mass, I thanked him. This man's unabashed noise to God was such a blessing to me that I still think about it, years later. I can only imagine what it sounded like to God's ears.
Theologian Jakob Böhme once said, "We are all strings in the concert of God's joy." I think of my son, that hair-comb musician, or my 90-year-old friend who could not remember the names of her family members but would join in merrily anytime she heard the Gloria.
We find joyful noises in unexpected places — these vibrations of glory, which not only bring praise to God, but speak volumes to his people as we listen to the concert of joy.
God sees me, making my joyful noise in worship to him.

During the 113th Congress (2013-14), two Older Americans Act reauthorization bills were introduced in the House:
H.R. 4122, Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2014 and NCOA letter of support
H.R. 3850, Older Americans Act Reauthorization of 2014 and Rep. Gibson's press release
The Education and the Workforce Committee convened an OAA reauthorization hearing, "Serving Seniors Through the Older Americans Act,"that included a National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC) leader. The experience was recapped as follows:
Our Senior Center Voice in Washington
Senior centers have played an important role in the delivery of home and community-based services since the creation of the Older Americans Act (OAA) in 1965 and with each reauthorization.
Throughout the life of the OAA, senior centers have been at the ground level of planning and service delivery. Their role and function has evolved from the original sites developed to combat isolation and poor nutrition to today's multipurpose senior centers that deliver an expanded continuum of services and opportunities to support wellness, independence, and a high quality of life for older adults spanning three generations.
Congress is currently considering the next OAA reauthorization, and senior centers have both a unique perspective on needs and a unique capacity to deliver services.
First-Hand Account
That's why it was so exciting that when the House Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Training wanted to learn more about OAA programs and services in preparation for reauthorization, it sought a senior center director to get a first-hand account.
Denise Niese, director of the Wood County Committee on Aging in Ohio, traveled to Washington, DC to testify at the subcommittee's hearing entitled Serving Seniors through the Older Americans Act on Feb. 11.
Sitting on a panel with three other guests representing national and regional perspectives, Niese provided compelling testimony on the OAA's importance at the local level. She spoke about the nutrition program and the capacity for leveraging local funds that OAA seed money can build. Her full testimony is posted online.
It was no accident that Niese was invited to testify. She has been a long-time leader within NCOA's National Institute of Senior Centers (NISC), known for her commitment to and expertise in nutrition services. When NCOA was asked to recommend local representatives, Niese was an obvious choice.
A Unique Experience
Testifying at a Congressional hearing is a unique experience. After initial contact and an interview process, Niese had less than a week to prepare and submit up to 15 pages of written and no more than five minutes of oral testimony. While the staff of the subcommittee was helpful, they are not permitted to provide direct assistance in forming testimony.
On the day of the hearing, after standing in line for security screening, the witnesses were brought into an anteroom and given an overview of the process—the order of speakers, the green-yellow-red light timing system, and who would be in the room. Then the witnesses were led into the hearing room.
While the process is clearly formal, structured by rules and somewhat intimidating, there was an opportunity to take pictures and greet legislators. Each of the witnesses—Carol O'Shaughnessy, national policy analyst with the National Health Policy Forum, Lynn Kellogg, CEO of Michigan's Region IV Area Agency on Aging, Dr. Yanira Cruz, CEO of the National Hispanic Council on Aging, and Niese—provided their five minutes of testimony.
The 10 subcommittee members then spent five minutes each questioning the witnesses. It was clear that the members had listened, read the written testimony, and have a deep interest in OAA reauthorization.
Niese spent 30 hours in our nation's capital and was an excellent witness. Through her testimony, senior centers across the country had a voice.
While we cannot all travel to DC or testify at a hearing, we do all have the opportunity to use our voice locally, with our locally elected representatives in their home districts. We hope Niese has inspired all of us to take up that challenge!

Most Sunday mornings I bake muffins. There is something delicious about hot muffins with butter. The only problem is that on Sunday morning I'm lazy. I want to make something delicious but easy. Mix and Match Muffins to the rescue. I really love to be able to dump, mix and bake. So during the week I make up a couple of these dry mixes and then on Sunday morning I can be a little lazy and still have wonderful muffins.
This mix allows you to make whatever kind of muffin you want. Just add the mix in's you want and like magic you have blueberry, banana chocolate chip, or cranberry.
FYI: This muffin batter is thick, really thick. don't worry and don't add extra water. It is supposed to be thick and will bake up beautifully.
If you are preparing the mix in advance combine all the dry ingredients in a zip top bag, label well, remove excess air, and seal.
1 ½ cups of the "mix ins" of your choice.
In a large mixing bowl combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, dry milk, sour cream powder, and egg powder.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tins with papers or spray with non stick cooking spray.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, gently mix until blended. The batter will be thick and lumpy. Gently fold in the mix-ins.
For 12 large muffins, fill muffin cups completely, even mound up past the top of the muffin cup. For 18 small muffins fill the muffin cups almost full.
Bake 25-35 minutes, depending on how much you will them.

La cultura de Sa Huỳnh (vietnamita: Văn hóa Sa Huỳnh; tagal: Kalinangang Sa Huyun) florí entre el 1000 ae i el 200 ae al que hui és el centre i sud del Vietnam. S'han descobert jaciments arqueològics d'aquesta cultura des del delta del Mekong fins a la província de Quảng Bình, al centrenord del Vietnam. El poble de cultura de Sa Huỳnh es considera l'antecessor del poble txam, ètnia que viu al Vietnam, Cambodja i Tailàndia, de la família lingüística malaiopolinèsia, i fundadors del Regne de Txampa.

El jaciment de Sa Huỳnh es descobrí al 1909. Les restes són riques en eines de ferro de fabricació local, com destrals, espases, puntes de llança, ganivets i corbelles. Les eines de bronze, però, predominen en els jaciments de cultura Dông So'n, que es troben al nord del Vietnam i a la resta de la zona continental del sud-est asiàtic.

La cultura de Sa Huỳnh practicava la cremació dels adults i els enterrava en pots amb tapadora, una pràctica única d'aquesta cultura. Als enterraments en flascons solien acompanyar-los ofrenes rituals. Aquesta cultura es caracteritza també per les seues joies úniques per a les orelles, entre les quals destaquen els animals bicèfals. Aquests ornaments solien estar fets amb jade (nefrita), o bé vidre. Als jaciments també s'han trobat adorns de grans, normalment fets amb vidre.

Hi ha evidències d'una àmplia xarxa de comerç. Els grans i granadures de la cultura de Sa Huỳnh estaven fets amb vidre, cornalina, àgata, olivina, zircó, or i granat; la majoria d'aquests materials no són originaris de la zona, per la qual cosa és probable que foren importats. També s'han trobat espills de bronze de l'estil de la dinastia Han. D'altra banda, s'han trobat joies per a les orelles de la cultura de Sa Huỳnh en jaciments del centre de Tailàndia, illa Orquídia (Taiwan) i Palawan (Filipines).

Manchester United vs Burnley Prediction: EFL Match on 21.12.2022
EFL Cup Predictions 20th Dec 2022
22Bet Team
Betting Tip
Man Utd to Win
Domestic action resumes at Old Trafford on Wednesday, as Manchester United play their first game since the conclusion of the World Cup. The Red Devils will be in action in the round of 16 of the EFL Cup, as they welcome Burnley to the Theatre of Dreams.
Manchester City v Liverpool Prediction: EFL Match on 22.12.2022
It has been a relatively solid start to the season for Manchester United under Erik ten Hag, as the club sits fifth in the Premier League standings, and remain in all cup competitions. A trophy will rank high on the list of targets for the Dutchman this term, and success in the EFL Cup could be United's best chance of a major honour this term. The Red Devils play their second game in the competition this term, as they came through their first test in the third round against Aston Villa.
The Red Devils twice went behind in that fixture against the team from the Midlands, but they twice forced their way back into the game. United eventually got over the line in the final 20 minutes, with Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes scoring the important goals in a 4-2 win at Old Trafford.
It has been a fine start to Vincent Kompany's managerial career in England with Burnley, as the Clarets already look good value for an instant return to the Premier League. They currently sit top of the Championship standings, having lost just two of the 23 games that they have played this term. They also come into this fixture in good form, having won their previous three.
This will be Burnley's third game in the EFL Cup this term, as they have already successfully navigated through the second and third round. In the previous round, they edged past Crawley Town, with Anass Zaroury scoring twice in the final eleven minutes to seal a 3-1 win.
Manchester United vs Burnley Head to Head
Manchester United has won nine of their previous 16 matches against Burnely, with the Clarets picking up two victories. United are unbeaten in four against Burnley, but the previous meeting between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw in February 2022.
Manchester United vs Burnley Prediction
This won't be an easy return to action for Manchester United, as Burnley have been in excellent form in the Championship. However, we still expect the Red Devils to get through this test, and a 2-0 win could be the most likely outcome.

Q: Per developer branch in TFS feasible? In my current project (team of five developers) all developers use their own TFS branch (named per developer). From time to time they will merge into the main development branch.
The argument for using branches per developer is: too much went wrong when they worked in one branch. Developers work mainly remote but use one common TFS and AD accounts (VPN connections).
I would like to get opinions whether this sort of collaboration is thought to be good practise, OK under some circumstances or just plainly wrong for certain reasons.

A: Is it feasible, yeah sure.  It's not necessarily bad to isolate what you are doing from someone else....There's a catch, everyone has to constantly keep their code in sync with what is in the trunk.  You can't go say 4 weeks without either merging or getting from trunk.  That will always lead to issues.
The part you need to be concerned with is: "too much went wrong when they worked in one branch."  That sounds like something is seriously wrong with how they are using source control.  There are thousands of teams where the developers work on the same branch and have no issues at all.  (I can think of 6 teams where I work and none of them have an issue).  Before moving to a pseudo-distributed model like you are talking about, they need to figure out the basics.  To me, it just doesn't sound like they have this down.  Could I be wrong? Yes, of course, but at first glance, using basic source control seems to be a little problematic.
I would first ask what went wrong with the single model and go from there.

Usman Aliyu Shamaki
National Hajj Commission of Nigeria > Usman Aliyu Shamaki
Usman Aliyu Shamaki was born in the 60's. He attended University of Maiduguri where he obtained his LLB in Sharia Law. He began his civil service carrier with the Commission then known as Directorate of pilgrims in 1992 as a Pilgrims Officer raising through ranks to become Assistant Director (Admin) in the Commission.

The slave trade, which African and African-American scholars sometimes call the "Maafa" (meaning "holocaust"), affected between 9 and 12 million people. The fourteen-year civil war in Liberia killed between 250,000 and 300,000 people, about 1 in 10 Liberians. Hoping Liberia is dedicated in their memory. The labor on this book is on behalf of Ricks Institute in Virginia, Liberia and of approximately 1,000 displaced people from the war who still live on the Ricks campus. The royalties from this book and all the books written by Dr. Helms go to the Bricks for Ricks Foundation.
Ricks Institute and Olu Menjay–a struggling school and a committed Christian–are working together making a huge difference to the restoration of previously war-torn Liberia. Ricks and Olu have captured the hearts and pocketbooks of a number of Christians and churches in our country. But no person has been more passionate for support and success of Ricks than Michael Helms. An inspiriting book about hope, Hoping Liberia is also a magic story of Christian stewardship.
Hoping Liberia is an inspiring work in every way. It tells a story, not just about what God is doing among Christians in Liberia, but also about the way God has tugged on Michael Helms' heart and changed him and many others through their friendship with and service alongside Christian brothers and sisters in Liberia. This book indeed brought me much hope; maybe we Baptists can once again be known for our love and service and not for our fighting and politics. I strongly recommend Hoping Liberia.
Every good story needs a good storyteller. This story of Olu Menjay and Ricks Institute is a very good story. Michael Helms is a very good storyteller. Now the story will be shared far and wide. Thanks be to God for the story and its teller.
In Hoping Liberia, Michael Helms weaves together in Hoping Liberia, John Michael Helms weaves together multiple stories–the story of his friendship with Olu Menjay, the director of Ricks Institute in Virginia, Liberia; the story of their partnership in ministry; and the story of the nation of Liberia. Through historical narrative, theological ponderings, personal confession, and thoughtful questions, Helms immerses readers into a period of political turmoil and violence, a devastating civil war, and the immeasurable suffering experienced by the Liberian people. In the midst of aftermath of these harsh realities, Liberian Christians held on to hope. Hoping Liberia is ultimately an inspirational and uplifting story of faith being lived out and the body of Christ coming together and joining hands to do God's work.
