Q: JS Function variables not seeing global variables

let numFlag = document.getElementById("numBTN-Flag");
let callFlag = document.getElementById("callScreen");
let callDisplay = document.querySelector(".numberCalling");
let callingText = document.querySelector(".connectText");

function callCancel() {
  callFlag.style.display = "none";
  numFlag.style.display = "block";
  callDisplay.innerText = "";
  display.innerText = "";
}

const answerNumber = () => {
  numFlag.style.display = "none";
  callFlag.style.display = "block";
  let callDisplay = document.querySelector(".numberCalling");
  callDisplay = callDisplay.innerText += display.innerText;
  const callText = () => {
    if (callDisplay.length >= 9) {
      let callingText = document.querySelector(".connectText");
      callingText = callingText.innerText = "łączę...";
      setTimeout(function() {
        let callingText = document.querySelector(".connectText");

        callingText = callingText.innerText = "Trwa połączenie...";
        // do zrobienia odliczanie
      }, 4000);
    } else {
      let callDisplay = document.querySelector(".numberCalling");
      callDisplay.innerText = "Zły numer";
    }
  };
  callText();
};

I run with a little problem when writting a personal project. It's a small phone simulator and at this moment I'm challenged by a "global scope" problem. As you see in the provided code I have 4 variables in global, but only two(numFlag & callFlag) are working without any problem. When it comes to callDisplay & callingText variables i have to call them every time when they are needed just like the function wouldn't have acces to their global versions. I tried deleting the local scope versions and hoped it would operate on global, but it won't. I know that I can leave it like this for now(it works like it should) but the additional variables are only making the code harder to read and maintanance...and it's driving me insane, why it's not working. So please, enlighten me :)

A: This happens because of the following lines
callDisplay = callDisplay.innerText += display.innerText;
callingText = callingText.innerText = "łączę...";
callingText = callingText.innerText = "Trwa połączenie...";

They are overwriting the callDisplay and callingText variables.

Use
callDisplay.innerText += display.innerText;
callingText.innerText = "łączę...";
callingText.innerText = "Trwa połączenie...";

instead and it will work as you want

let numFlag = document.getElementById("numBTN-Flag");
let callFlag = document.getElementById("callScreen");
let callDisplay = document.querySelector(".numberCalling");
let callingText = document.querySelector(".connectText");

function callCancel() {
  callFlag.style.display = "none";
  numFlag.style.display = "block";
  callDisplay.innerText = "";
  display.innerText = "";
}

const answerNumber = () => {
  numFlag.style.display = "none";
  callFlag.style.display = "block";
  callDisplay.innerText += display.innerText;

  const callText = () => {
    if (callDisplay.innerText.length >= 9) {
      callingText.innerText = "łączę...";
      setTimeout(function() {
        callingText.innerText = "Trwa połączenie...";
        // do zrobienia odliczanie
      }, 4000);
    } else {
      callDisplay.innerText = "Zły numer";
    }
  };
  callText();
};

What is the difference between the Winged Bean and the Asparagus Pea? | Grow Your Own Veg Blog. Gardening and Food Blog.
What is the difference between the Winged Bean and the Asparagus Pea?
Recently, I have been searching for a bean that I used to often eat in Malaysia - a bean that doesn't look like a regular bean, but has four frilly sides to it. It is called the Winged Bean or the Four-Angled Bean. It is a lovely, crunchy bean that is really delicious stir-fried with a spicy chilli, garlic and shrimp paste mix.
After searching for seeds online, I finally stumbled across the Asparagus Pea, which looks identical to the Winged Bean. So, the question is - is there a difference between the Winged Bean and the Asparagus Pea?
I found this excerpt in the book "Growing Food: A Guide to Food Production" by Tony Winch.
In addition, the flowers of the Winged Bean grown in Asia seem to be a pale blue, whilst the Asparagus Pea has deep red flowers.
So, it would seem that, these are two rather different plants?
I have bought Asparagus Pea seeds from Thompson & Morgan, and am now trying to grow them in the UK. I can't wait to taste them to find out whether they taste the same as the Winged Bean!


Professional or DIY Sod Installation?
When new customers approach our turf farm for a quote and questions about service, they're often coming from a position of experience: they've previously opted to seed a lawn and are unhappy with their results.
Our homeowner customers want a lush, green lawn that gives their property curb-appeal. Commercial building owners also don't want to take a chance that a seeded lawn turns patchy, potentially turning a landmark, architecturally-impressive multi-million dollar property into an eyesore.
When deciding to use an installed grass turf or use seed, we find one of the biggest considerations is time: having a lush, green lawn in just 2 weeks instead of two months or more is a big deciding factor for most people, as many of our customers and landscaping partners can attest. Lawns that use our turf can also be used for light recreation virtually from the start – while seeded lawns that are still growing out months later can still have "Keep off the grass" signs featuring prominently.

Hip-hop reacts to the death of Kevin Samuels
Controversial YouTube character Kevin Samuels has reportedly died, sparking an outpouring of backlash on social media.
News first broke that the self-proclaimed image consultant had died aged 56 on Thursday evening (May 5). According to an NBC News report on Friday, May 6, Samuels' mother confirmed reports of his death, which she said she first heard about online. The news of the death went viral on social media and even prompted a reaction from some members of the hip-hop community.
"RIP Kevin Samuels," said Pierre "P" Thomas, CEO of Quality Control Music, on Twitter.
"Very disturbing to read all the bad comments regarding Kevin Samuels and his passing," Gangsta Boo posted among a series of tweets. "Mfs was really mad at him for having his own perspective and his own opinions which in some cases were accurate. You are pathetic for that."
Kevin Samuels has gained notoriety in recent years for his shameless consultation videos on YouTube that many people saw as attacks on black women. He routinely chastised women who came to his channel, which has more than 1.4 million subscribers, for their lifestyle choices, frequently sparking outrage online.
According to Constitution of the Atlanta newspaper, Atlanta police responded to a call for an injured person at an apartment near East Paces Ferry Road NE Thursday morning. First responders administered CPR to an unconscious man who was later identified as Samuels. He was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. A woman at the residence reportedly told police that Samuels complained of chest pains before he collapsed.
XXL contacted the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office for comment.

What Are the Advantages & Disadvantages of Using Multiple Monitors on One Computer?
by Andy Warycka
Adding multiple monitors to workstations increases productivity -- and cost.

3 Link Multiple Samsung SyncMaster Monitors
4 Buying Guide For LCD Computer Monitors
While it's tempting to offer your employees a multi-monitor setup, you need to weigh the flashy high-tech appearance and possible productivity increase versus the cost, available desk space and other factors. A multiple-monitor setup offers more advantages in the long run, despite the possible procrastination hazards and additional equipment costs, but consider the big picture so you can make the educated decision for your office.
Using a second monitor makes it far easier and faster to use multiple programs simultaneously. Instead of having to switch between full-screen windows, the second program can be put on the second monitor, making for fewer clicks and faster workflow. This is especially useful in fast-paced work environment where prompt email replies are needed -- an email client can be kept open and available at all times for rapid communication.
A multiple monitor arrangement can also benefit employees who use laptops or tablets for easy portability outside of the office but a larger monitor workspace in the office -- especially given devices with small screens, tiny keyboards and trackpads. Docking your laptop offers the flexibility of a full on workstation with the ability to pick up the laptop and take it to a conference room or out-of-office presentation.
With the room for more potential productive applications comes the potential for more distractions. Keeping email open all the time can be helpful, but it can be distracting, too, to have it constantly visible. Keeping an IM or Twitter window open can be even more of a time-sink.
There are logistical concerns as well. A second monitor takes up additional real estate on a desk, which may not always be available or desirable in close quarters. Additional monitors also must be purchased, adding short term expense to the business that will take time to earn back through increased productivity.
Increases in productivity are often touted as the main advantage to running a multi-monitor setup, and the science backs it up. A 2012 study originally published in the Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society found that dual monitors were measurably more efficient and less frustrating than a single monitor. Additionally, 98 percent of the participants chose a dual monitor configuration as their preference.
Before purchasing additional monitors, it's important to note whether your existing computers will support multiple monitors. A quick look at the back of your PCs will give you the information you need. If the video card currently in the computer has more than one video output port, or if the computer has multiple video cards installed, your system is ready for a second monitor. If not, additional or upgraded video cards will need to be purchased and factored into the cost decision.

This is a follow up to "A Very Special Q and A" post. This mother contacted me in her seventh month of pregnancy after discovering her unborn child had Achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism. After a successful birth and tiring stay in the hospital, mom and baby are at home. She allowed me to interview her for this blog.
Gina, congratulations on your beautiful new baby! Many people followed your story, as you know. How are you and your daughter doing?
Alisha is doing good. She has gained a little weight but she is still so small, preemie clothes barely fit her!
Is this something that concerns the doctors?
Oh, no. She's feeding well and they're happy with her progress. They gave me a ton of information, including a growth chart. It's only for females with Achondroplasia. She's just a little dot on there now, but they'll measure her as she gets older and graph it on the chart. As long as she stays in those lines, she's growing okay, I guess.
The delivery went well? No problems?
This is my first baby, so I was terrified. I had a C-section and I was pretty sore afterwards. The delivery itself was easy. It seemed like it was over so fast, probably because I was so nervous. There was one moment when I couldn't hear her cry. The nurses were cleaning her up and I couldn't see her…then I couldn't hear her. I panicked and started yelling, "What's wrong? Why isn't she crying?" Then I heard her again, they told me everything was fine and not to worry. (They were sucking the stuff out of her nose). Then they brought her to me and asked me what her name was. "Alisha Ann" I said. Saint Ann was Our Lady's mother. My middle name is Maria after Mary so I thought it would be nice.
That is a beautiful name, it sounds lovely together. How did Alisha Ann fare in the NICU? A lot of people were scared when they heard she was in the intensive care.
Don't be sorry, Gina, it's okay. I cried too, it is a scary experience.
I just didn't want to lose her. She was so tiny. I prayed the Rosary in the chapel everyday. I prayed to St. Ann to watch over her. She was so small…well, she still is, but I'm used to it now. (Smiles). I remember in the NICU, there was a cd player they allow the parents to use to play lullabies. I, um, there was this sticker on it that said, "In loving memory of Daniel Manuel Ortiz". It shocked me for a minute. There were parents losing their babies there.
How was your first few days at home?
Oh, boy. Getting her home was a lot of work. I had to have all of this special stuff. She doesn't fit into a car seat, so they rented a car bed to me. It is only about this big, (holds hands out), it fits into the front of the grocery cart where children usually sit. Ha Ha. She has a CPAP, it is a machine that helps her to stay breathing at night.
My son had one of those too. I hear a lot of the babies with Achondroplasia do.
Yes, well it gives me peace of mind. You know? I don't have to worry about SIDS. I know she is breathing and safe. They gave us an alarm which will go off if she did stop breathing. I still keep her crib in my room though.
How are the nights going?
She barely makes a peep. I wake her to feed her. She doesn't roll over or anything. She's very much like a rag doll…they called it something…Oh "floppy". They said she would be "floppy for a while".
Yes, that is very common for babies with Achondroplasia. I took mine to Physical Therapy at 3 months because he still had hypotonia. (weak muscles).
That was the other word, hypotonia. They said she would be delayed in all of her physical milestones: sitting, walking, etc. They gave me a chart for that too. (Laughs). I have a pamphlet or chart for everything! But I read as much as I can about Achondroplasia. It is exactly like you said, everything is a little different.
I'm getting used to it. Like I said, I have never had a baby before, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But, so far, I am used to her size, but we still think it is so cute the way she fits into her clothes. I feel like buying doll clothes. I roll the sleeves up and the baby gowns are all very long on her. But some of the preemie outfits fit her. My family just keeps shopping and bringing new things for her to try on. This girl is going to have clothes for a long time!
Nothing wrong with that! Girls should have a lot of clothes. Believe me, you will use them for a long time.
Is that how your baby was? Same clothes for a long time?
Yes, he was a 2T the summer before first grade. In a few months, you will probably start to tailor her clothes for winter.
I am very grateful that I know how to sew. My mother, my grandmother, we all sew. Do you do Jax clothes?
Uh, no. I am so clumsy with the sewing machine. I send his out to be tailored. Though, some brands I found fit him okay without having them tailored. You would think they wouldn't if his upper arms and legs are shorter, but they did.
I hope it will be the same for her.
How are others in your life responding to her?
My family loves her, of course. They say there is nothing wrong with her, she is perfect! I think so too. God made her this way and she is so beautiful. I can't argue with God's plans. I did as you suggested and wrote a letter to all of the members of our family, aunts, uncles, cousins … you know. I explained what Achondroplasia was and how she will be just like any other kid with a few exceptions. I explained what words were okay and what is offensive and –gosh, I just tried to answer any question I thought they'd have. Everyone treats her like any baby in the family.
As it should be. She is like any other baby right?
Exactly. I am glad they don't treat her different. Strangers are much more curious. They tell me how tiny she is. But that would be the same for a preemie too, I guess.
I'm okay, I am so happy that she is with me. I still cry, I don't know what things will be like for her in the future. My family is very supportive, they remind me what a miracle she is. I thank God that I have her. Physically, I am tired. But I think I was more tired before she was born just because I worried so much. She is a happy baby, that makes things much easier. She's also very cuddly, I call her my little baby bird, because she lays in the crook of my arm and sleeps.
Newborns sleep a lot, don't they?
Yes, yes, they do. It is nice because I can sleep then. I don't want any one to help me too much, I like doing all of the things myself: changing her, dressing her, bathing her. I just love being with her. It is funny because I know more about how to take care of this baby than my mom does. If I have a question, I either have to figure it out myself or call the pediatrician…haha. I don't think my mom likes that so much. She will give advice and I have to tell her, "No, it doesn't work that way with her." haha.
Well Gina, thank you so much for sharing with us. Your new sweetheart has gotten a lot of attention from my readers! I passed on the well wishes and congratulations and prayers. I'd like to interview you again in the future if you don't mind?
Not at all. Please tell everyone that we said thank you!
I will. You have given so many people a wonderful insight into this experience. Thanks again!

Q: How to get the previous tag in liquibase? I am running gradle commands for liquibase to get the tag,validate,update.
I want to create a rollback as well. In my pipeline, how can get the last tag to rollback to ?
Where can I get the tags from.
  ./gradlew -Ddb_url=$DB_HOST_URL -Ddb_username= -Ddb_password=$DB_PASSWORD updateSQL -PrunList=main
  ./gradlew -Ddb_url=$DB_HOST_URL -Ddb_username= -Ddb_password=$DB_PASSWORD validate -PrunList=main
  ./gradlew -Ddb_url=

A: Are you looking to generate the SQL needed to rollback to the current state?
If so, you can use the generateFutureRollbackSql call to output that.
Otherwise, I don't know of a command that just returns the last tag. You could use a database query to get the last value of tag from the databasechangelog table via a database query plugin.

Brad Pitt and Brioni Team Up for a New Collection Based on the Actor's Laid-Back Style
Unleash your inner chill.

Brad Pitt is taking on his most stylish role yet. The actor, producer and champagne maven is now also a fashion designer thanks to a new collab with Brioni.
Hollywood's favorite leading man has joined forces with the Italian menswear label to release an exclusive collection modeled after his rugged-yet-refined style. Pitt has been the face of Brioni since 2019 and regularly sports the house's sharply tailored ensembles on the red carpet. However, this marks the first time the Kering-owned label has partnered with an ambassador on a capsule.

Fittingly dubbed BP Signature, the seven-piece collection pairs a muted color palette with an interplay of texture and exudes the understated, laid-back style for which the Oscar winner has come to be known. The line comprises pieces that one could easily imagine Pitt in, including a two-button charcoal suit, a double-splittable cashmere sport coat, a featherweight long-sleeved polo sweater in cashmere and a dapper car coat.

There's also evening garb that's specifically inspired by the look which Pitt wore to the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020, where he nabbed Best Supporting Actor for his role in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time… in Hollywood. This includes a velvet evening jacket with matching wool trousers and a fine-cotton evening shirt.
"Next to being one of Hollywood's most impactful stars both in front and behind the camera, Pitt is a style icon, embodying the relaxed elegance of the modern man with a captivating ease and graceful confidence," Brioni writes on its website. "Pitt's personal style combined with Brioni's unparalleled craftsmanship drove the artistic idea of 'BP Signature', forming a well-rounded wardrobe."

To top it off, each piece in the collection carries an exclusive label featuring Pitt's signature. The items retail between roughly $650 (€550) for the cotton tuxedo shirt up to nearly $5,000 (€4,100) for the formal wool suit.
The BP Signature collection is now available at Brioni stores and select retailers around the world, as well as online.

Born at Aberdeen, Scotland on 22 July 1888, son of Alexander Aiken and Jane Anderson Don, he was educated at Aberdeen Public Schools and Gordon's College, Aberdeen. He came to Canada in 1912. On 29 May 1913, he married Mabel Marguerite Leatham (?-?), daughter of James Leatham, of Turriff, Scotland. They had two children: Donald Leatham Aiken and Doris Marguerite Aiken. He was a trustee of the St. James School Board from 1930 to 1935. He was elected to the Manitoba Legislature at the 1936 general election but was defeated in 1941. He lived at 409 Winchester Street, St. James. He died on 4 November 1974.


Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix first four ingredients and place into a 9 inch square baking dish. In a small bowl mix topping ingredients and sprinkle over the apples. Bake until apples are soft, about 30 minutes.
Baked apples slow cooked not only taste great, but they make the whole house smell wonderful while they cook 🙂 This recipe is simple to do, yet has an elegant presentation. Though the recipe does not call for it, try adding some cinnamon or nutmeg for a different flavor combo.
Please apples skin side down in a slow cooker. Place a dot of margarine on each. Pour juice and vinegar mix over the top and cook on high 2-3 hours or until soft. Remove apples to a plate and pour the juice in a pan. Bring juice to a boil and cook on high 5 minutes to reduce to a syrup.
Whip milk and maple syrup in an ice cold bowl for 3 minutes. Top each apple piece with 1/4 of the cream and drizzle with the fruit syrup.
Alternately, skip the milk and just add some maple syrup over the top of the apples for another version of a great dessert for a cold night.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a pie plate with Pam. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and then pour into the plate. Bake for 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 325 degrees and cook for another 40-45 minutes. Cool completely.
This is a much healthier version than my Grandma's banana bread recipe. But I tell you, it tastes just a good! And one slice is very satisfying. If you remove the chocolate chips from the recipe, you bring it down to 140 calories per serving !
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flours, Splenda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix well. Combine banana, Egg Beaters, applesauce and vanilla. Add the wet mix to the dry mix and with a wooden spoon, stir until just blended. Pour into a loaf pan (ungreased) and bake for 50 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and then remove from pan.

Recently there has been a lot of speculation in the gold and silver markets, making prices relatively volatile.
April 18, 2011 – Recently there has been a lot of speculation in the gold and silver markets, making prices relatively volatile. But "the good news for gold and silver is the 'mother' of all bull markets has further to go," Peter Grandich, editor of The Grandich Letter told Myra P. Saefong of MarketWatch.
While "the wiggly lines that make up the bigger uptrend will provide better times to buy and sell the metals," said Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter, the overarching message is to stay in gold and silver because there is simply no other way out of the federal debt crisis than to inflate the debt down to manageable size. "You're not in a late phase of inflation, you're in an early phase," Ira Epstein of the Linn Group said in the Wall Street Journal.
That's the rub – a great many Americans have little concept of the enormity of the deficit problem, and therefore don't understand that inflation is unavoidable. Yet according to Rasmussen Reports, "Congressman Paul Ryan's Republican alternative puts a balanced budget at least 25 years away." And that's the biggest hammer our politicians have been able to come with.
According to a recent Rasmussen survey most Americans believe that a balanced budget is good for the economy, but most "dramatically underestimate how much is actually spent." Less than half believe cuts to defense, Social Security, and Medicare are necessary, and 37% believe they are not – roughly the same number as those who didn't think that the majority of federal spending goes to just those three things. A different survey showed that a great many Americans know it would take higher taxes to balance the budget but only 20% are willing to pay them.
None-the-less, "investors are frustrated with U.S. monetary policy. They're saying the heck with the dollar, the heck with currencies, and they're buying metals," Epstein said.
The frustration will continue to spread, drawing more and more investors into long-term gold and silver holdings, and that will hold prices to their strong upward trend.

Background: The first clinical sign of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can be one of the various extrahepatic manifestations. During antiviral treatment, symptoms of HCV-associated neuropathies usually improve, but can also worsen and lead to discontinuation of anti-HCV therapy. Recently, we have reported autonomic dysfunction in patients with HCV infection.
Objectives: In the present prospective study, we analyzed the changes of autonomic function during anti-HCV treatment.
Patients and Methods: Cardiovagal autonomic function was assessed in 22 HCV RNA-positive, treatment-naive patients by determining heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), at the beginning of treatment and 12, 24 and 48 weeks of antiviral therapy. interferon alfa-2 and ribavirin were given according to the guidelines.
Results: Both HRV and BRS time and frequency domain indices decreased after 12 weeks of therapy compared to the pre-treatment values; then the mean±SD values increased significantly by week 24 and continued to improve by week 48 of therapy-253.0±156.1 ms before therapy vs 111.6±81.9 at week 12, and 183.4±169.6 at week 24 vs 211.6±149.1 ms at week 48 for low-frequency HRV index; p<0.05 for all comparisons). These changes were independent from the presence of cryoglobulins and from virologic response.
Conclusions: The first rise followed by reversible autonomic dysfunction during antiviral therapy may be caused by the immunomodulatory actions of interferon alfa-2.

Customer's compliance with terms and conditions: The terms and conditions stated here are relevant to requests for sales quotes, placements of orders, or the acceptance of goods by the customer – in short, all business correspondence between RayShine Photonics Corporation and the customer. Any correspondence shall be deemed an acceptance of the terms stated here in their entirety. RSP is not obliged to accept any terms or additional terms proposed by the customer that are inconsistent with the ones stated here. Such proposed terms will only be incorporated into the agreement on RSP's volition and upon acceptance of these terms in writing. RSP's lack of objection to these customer proposed terms will not indicate our agreement to these terms; neither does following through with the customer order/shipment of products. No action taken by RSP shall be considered a course of performance/dealing, or a compromise of any of the terms and conditions stated here. The terms and conditions stated here are applicable to all purchases of services and products by the customer, and RSP's willingness to conduct business dealings with the customer is based on the condition that the customer agrees to the terms and conditions stated here in their entirety.
Cancellation charges: The customer agrees to pay RSP a cancellation charge if the customer cancels any order or portion thereof before the scheduled shipment date. This charge will be a percentage of the net price of the canceled order or a portion thereof. These charges vary according to the amount of time prior to the scheduled shipment date that a customer cancels an order: 1) for cancellations occurring more than 45 days prior to the scheduled shipment date, the customer shall pay a 2% cancellation charge; 2) for cancellations that occur at least 31 days before the scheduled shipment date but not more than 45 days, the buyer shall pay a 10% cancellation charge; 3) for all cancellations within 30 days or less of the scheduled shipment date, the customer shall pay a 15% cancellation charge. In addition to the foregoing cancellation charges, the customer will also compensate RSP for any other charges incurred as a result of the cancellation. Concerning this, the customer understands that: 1) the prices of our products and services are based on RSP's purchasing of its materials at bulk discounts; 2) Financial and other commitments may be made between RSP and its vendors based on the amounts of materials ordered; and 3) RSP may be subject to penalties of the amounts of these orders are not met. Therefore, if the customer cancels any portion of its order before completion, the customer agrees to purchase the balance of any remaining materials at RSP's cost plus 15%. The customer also agrees to reimburse RSP for any cancellation charges imposed on RSP by any of our vendors for the cancellation/modification of the orders we placed with them. If the total quantity of materials supplied to date of customer cancellation is below the minimum amount required for the discounted bulk price, then prices will be adjusted retroactively and the customer shall pay the net difference of the cost. Customers may not cancel orders after shipment by RSP.
Customized product orders: All customized product orders are non-cancelable, non-returnable, and non-refundable. Customized products are products that meet any or all of the following descriptions: products ordered specially for the customer; products in which the customer had influence in the production outcome/designed to customer specifications; and products that are branded by the customer name or logo. In the event of customer cancellation of such customized product orders, the customer agrees to pay for the cost of materials and labor in full.
Return Policy: Refer to RSP's RMA policy stated on our RMA form.
Shipment and Delivery: All deliveries are EXW RSP's production facility. All freight/shipping, insurance, and other charges involved in delivery of products shall be paid by the customer. RSP will select the shipment carrier and unless otherwise instructed by the customer. RSP strives to deliver products on or before the scheduled shipping dates. However, these shipping dates are estimates only, and RSP shall not be liable for any loss or expense (consequential or otherwise) incurred by the customer as a result of a delay in delivery due to factors beyond RSP's control. RSP also reserves the right to ship products in installments. Please call our facility at +886-4-2531-8822 or email sales@rayshine.com.tw for the most up to date shipping information.
Inspection and Returns: The customer shall inspect all products upon arrival at destination and has the right to reject any materials which fail in being consistent with RSP's product standards or customer product specifications. However, RSP shall not be responsible for defects arising from mishandling during shipping – it is the option of the customer to insure the shipment of their products, and RSP is responsible for proper packaging. The customer must inform RSP of defects in materials (only arising from poor workmanship) within 15 days of receipt. RSP reserves the right to request visual evidence (in the form of pictures, etc.) of these defects before starting the RMA procedure. Subsequently, the customer has to fill out the RMA form and email/fax it to RSP within 15 days. After 15 days, all materials shipped will be deemed to have been accepted. RSP will issue the customer a RMA number shortly after receipt of the RMA form, and this number has to be written on all packages that arrive at RSP that are a part of the order. RSP is in no way responsible for the safe shipment of the materials back to the RSP production facility – it is the customer's responsibility to use sturdy packaging or to insure the shipment of the materials. RSP shall replace, repair, or credit the customer the invoice price of all approved rejected goods as well as credit the customer for shipping charges incurred no later than 30 days after receipt of the rejected goods. RSP reserves the right to change its statement of approval of the rejected goods on its discretion upon arrival and inspection of the rejected goods. In this event, the customer is responsible for all shipping charges. In Addition, Buyer shall be charged a standard restocking fee equal to 25% of the net invoice price for any non-defective goods that are returned to RSP, other than custom designed products. Under no circumstances shall RSP accept returns of non-defective custom designed products.
Payment: The terms of payment are irrevocable letter of credit or cash in advance unless otherwise agreed to by RSP in writing. RSP may change the amount of credit, terms of payment, or withdraw credit at any time. The customer shall make payment for goods whether or not the shipped products have undergone inspection or usage. RSP reserves the right to charge interest at the maximum rate permitted by applicable laws on invoice amounts that are not paid when due. The customer may also be required to pay all costs incurred by RSP in collecting past due invoice amounts (collection agency, attorneys' fees, etc.) RSP may terminate sales/modification procedures on any of the customer's orders in the event of nonpayment of any amount to RSP when it is due.
Taxes: Buyer shall pay all applicable federal, state, municipal and other taxes (such as sales, use, value added, or similar taxes) and similar charges; and all personal property taxes assessable on the materials after delivery to the carrier at RSP's designated site. Unless Buyer provided Buyer's resale permit or certificate number and a signed resale certificate with its order, Buyer will be invoiced for the appropriate sales taxes.
Security Interest: RSP is hereby granted a money security interest in the goods until full payment of purchase price is received by RSP. It is the customer's responsibility to do everything necessary to assure RSP's retention of the security interest. In the event that the customer fails to make payment for the purchase price of the goods when due, RSP has the right to take exclusive possession of and remove all goods wherever found without undergoing legal processes. The customer shall also compensate RSP for all costs incurred in removal, repossession, and collection, as well as attorneys' fees.
Termination: RSP shall, notwithstanding anything contained in this agreement to the contrary, on its sole discretion and with or without cause, have the right to suspend or terminate this agreement (including all outstanding orders) 10 days prior to sending a written notice to the customer. Either party has the right to terminate this agreement in the event that the other party is insolvent or has made assignment by operation of law or other means or any of its rights hereunder for the benefit of creditors. RSP reserves the right to terminate this agreement upon notifying the customer in the event that the customer fails to adhere to the terms and conditions stated here. RSP shall have no further obligation or liability to the customer in the event of suspension or termination of this agreement.
Limitation of Liability: RSP shall be in no way liable for loss of use (of relevant products), interruption of business, lost profits, lost data or any consequential, indirect, or incidental damages of any kind, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise – even if the possibility of such damages had been previously forewarned. In no event shall RSP's total liability to the customer for damages of any kind exceed the price of the goods that resulted in the claim.
Customer Property: All customer property – including, but not limited to: raw materials, designs, tools, patterns, drawings, information or equipment used in the manufacture of relevant products, is received, stored and returned at the customer's own risk. RSP is in no way responsible loss or damage to customer property due to fire, theft or other causes while in RSP's possession. Goods and all related customer property that are inactive for a period of 12 consecutive months shall be discarded or returned to the customer upon request.
1. Force Majeure: RSP shall not be liable for failure to carry through with sales or delivery, or for delays in sales or delivery due to factors beyond our scope of reasonable control, such as acts of God, acts of the customer, acts of civil or military authority, governmental priorities, labor or other strikes, floods, epidemics, war, riot, or delays in transportation. RSP also shall not be liable for its inability to obtain the required materials, components, services, or facilities due to causes beyond our reasonable control. In the event of such delays, the date of delivery or sales procedure shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost due to the delay. All other applicable statutory provisions are supplanted by the preceding terms and conditions.
2. Proprietary Information: "Proprietary Information", whether or not patented or patentable, includes all technology, concepts, equipment, techniques, know-how, processes, information, trade secrets, inventions, molds, tooling, and other materials embodied in or related to our products and services (with regards to demo units, etc.). RSP has the exclusive right, title, and interest in and to all Proprietary Information made or acquired by us in our business, whether or not paid for by the customer in connection with the price of the goods or otherwise. The customer shall not copy, reproduce, transfer, assign, sublicense, loan, disclose or otherwise make available any Proprietary Information to any person or other entity without the prior written consent of RSP to the specific act. Any and all Proprietary Information which RSP may provide to the customer shall be in the customer's possession only under a restrictive non-transferable, non-exclusive license, under which the customer may use this Proprietary Information solely for the purposes of installation, usage, servicing, and repairing the products or services purchased.
3. Patent Infringement Indemnification: The customer agrees to indemnify RSP (and any affiliated company thereof) and hold it harmless against losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) for the possible infringement of patent rights of any materials or design specifications that it provides to RSP for use in the sales/modification process – in the event that other persons or parties assert their patent rights.
RSP reserves the right to reject the rights asserted by the customer, assigned in whole or in part by the operation of the law, in the absence of the prior written consent of RSP. In the absence of such consent, all attempted assignments of duties, obligations, or rights shall be void.
No waiver: The failure, on any occasion, by either party, to enforce the terms of this agreement does not imply that these same terms will not be enforced on any other occasion.
Governing law: This agreement was composed, and will be construed and interpreted, according to the laws of the State of California, regardless of the principles of conflicts of law. In the event that legal action is taken by either party to enforce the terms of this agreement due to a breach in the terms by the other party, the prevailing party is entitled to claim compensation from the other party for all related costs incurred by such legal action (including attorneys' fees).
Time limit for bringing cause of action: No action of any form arising out of this agreement may be brought by either party more than 1 year after the cause of action has occurred – or, in the case of an action for nonpayment, more than 2 years from the date the last payment was due.
Further assurances: Every party to this agreement agrees to carry out, execute, or deliver the acts and instruments the other party may request in accordance to the terms and conditions of this agreement.
Entire agreement: The entire understanding between the customer and RSP is constituted in this agreement and all its subjects. Any representation, promise, course of dealing or trade usage not contained within these stated terms will not be binding. Unless assented to by RSP in writing, no modification, amendment, rescission, waiver or other change of this agreement or any part thereof shall be binding on RSP.

Weekly Astrology Metaphorcast 9/21-27, 2020
Published on September 21, 2020 May 18, 2021 by Tess Hadley Durand1 Comment
Sealed with a kiss, it is time to say goodbye to the summer. Tuesday marks the first day of fall. The Sun goes into Libra the lover, with all the mystery of the other. The equinox brings the phenomenon of equal day and night- will you try to stand an egg? 9:30 am is the official time for here in the Eastern part of the US, if you care to give it a go. Only during the equinox is the Earth's axis not tilting toward or away from the Sun. It is very bizarre to think of this only coming down to two moments of each passing year. Egg or not it's worth a pause of receptivity. What will you notice during this rare World event? Every other moment we stand upon a tilted Earth. In her style of leaning, she blesses us with the Seasons! In her spirit of duality she is leaning. Instead of perfection there is a striving.
Fall has begun! That "Second Spring" in the words of Albert Camus, "where every leaf is a flower." People are drawn from all over to get a literal peep. Better get out those sweaters, and favor those flavors, of cinnamon, clove, apple and spice! After all the primordial apple is wrapped up in the Fall- be it the fall of gravity on Newton's dozing head, or the fall of innocence in a paradise garden. Snow white took a fall when she bit her apple, into a deep slumber, only to be awakened by true loves kiss. The crisp snap of an apple is the bold outline of Romantic Reality. To acknowledge a Fall, and rise from it. Falling down on the ground? Well you must rise up again. Falling asleep? Well you must rise in the morning. Falling in love? Well, you must rise to cultivate that love and help it grow. To Fall is to anticipate a rise. Choose a course of action. Make distinctions about what will and won't work. This is the esoteric root of Libra's freedom in decision-making. Decision which means to "cut off" one route from another. Perhaps that's why King Arthur's sword Excalibur was forged in Avalon, the island of apples.
Mercury the planet of perception in it's final week of Libra- the apple of the eye used to mean the pupil; the zero-index blackness of in-drawing images. A place where the world is translated upside-down. Cutting-edge and romantic. Apples have always had a knack for being cutting edge, whether of the eye or the iphone. As Cezanne declared, "give me an apple, and I will astonish Paris!"
Venus, the love Goddess, who makes pretty pentagrams in the sky, like the ones found in apples. Wouldn't it be she who took the first forbidden bite. Now in Leo, the sign of the Sun, she imitates as a Morning Star. Rising like a true Romantic, who first had to acknowledge a fall.
Mars, the red hot planet in red hot aries and retrograde. Fire. The terror and the power. Days of hazy skies. The fire behind our appled eyes. The principal of action, behind every moment of perception.
Jupiter, the planet of heights, stationed direc in Capricorn, the sign of the world. Serious-Saturn and Metamorphosis-Pluto also in Capricorn, its easy to feel as though the world really is upside-down. Good thing the Fall favors Romance, which lives on heights, and chooses hope in spite of despair. As Abraham Lincoln said, "Teach hope to all, despair to none."
Uranus, the most leaning of all planets, in bountiful Taurus. Leaning with awareness, and learning from the seasons of your own life.
Neptune in Pisces, the low-dose poison in the center of the apple rendering its beauty all the more sublime.
The Moon will be in Scorpio for half of Monday the last day of Summer, sprinkling some last bit of secrets into the wide open air. Look for mist and nature winking back at you.
By 3:30 and through most of Wednesday she will be waxing crescent in Sagittarius- the high flying horse. Fond of apples, the Horsey Moon welcomes in the Autumn Equinox on Tuesday and the air contains the potential for major lift off. Lift off of spirits that is, if the right perspective is gleaned. Fall, with all of it's associations with melancholy challenge our powers of optimism. As Emerson said "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
By 7pm Wednesday and a new Season in full swing, the Moon waxes into it's first quarter in Capricorn through Friday. Learn to love those bold outlines of your life. Those boundaries that allow you to create more freedom. The crisp snap of apple otherness– that keeps you from sinking into too much subjective seawater!
The weekend hosts a waxing gibbous Aquarius Moon, always potent for breakthrough as it is the sign of the times. Strong winds are likely- crescendoing the song of the trees. Changing in color, escalating in song, what can trees tell us that we've known all along, about our true nature, as artist and seer, evolving this way to be ever more freer.

Graduation suits…do you need to get one? Yes we all know about the cap and gown part of it. But what about the suit underneath it? What about suits for the post-graduate life? We'll give you some tips for the big day and beyond.
Completing high school, college, or a master's program is a big deal. I think it's important to look good. The proper protocol for what to wear isn't always clear though.
Yes, I know that most of your body is covered by the gown. What if you are going out to a nice dinner after or a party? Plus, your legs and feet are still hanging out there so you'll need at least a good pair of pants and shoes. Its not that big of a stretch to just put the suit on.
Is a full suit necessary? I think it depends. Most graduation ceremonies are in May. If you're in the south, it can be starting to get quite hot and humid at that time of years. A shirt, tie, jacket and gown can start to feel pretty hot. In those cases, its probably not needed.
In other areas, the weather can be fairly cool around graduation. You might be glad to have the jacket underneath or at least nearby so you can get it for later.
I wouldn't recommend buying a suit just for graduation, but consider your post-graduate life. Are you going to interviews? Weddings? Then you might want to consider picking one up to get ready for the "real world". These types of events will let you try it out a bit. I would go the conservative route for sure though. A nice basic navy blue or grey number should be fine. Get something that can work in a lot of different scenarios, not something in the school colors!

La Lovell House ou Lovell Health House est une résidence moderniste de style international conçue et construite par Richard Neutra entre 1927 et 1929.

La maison, située au 4616 Dundee Drive à Los Angeles en Californie, a été construite pour le médecin et naturopathe Philip Lovell et porte donc son nom.

Considérée comme un monument majeur de l'histoire de l'architecture, la maison a marqué un tournant dans la carrière de Neutra. Elle est souvent décrite comme la première maison à  des États-Unis et comme l'un des premiers exemples d'utilisation de béton projeté.

La maison a été utilisée dans le film L.A. Confidential (1997) et Beginners (2011).

Sexual Dysfunction Inadequately Reported in Hair Loss Drug
A review of clinical trials on a popular drug known as finasteride and marketed as Propecia and Proscar, among other names, to treat hair loss in men found that none of the studies adequately reported on sexual side effects,
A review of 34 clinical trials on a popular drug to treat hair loss in men found that none of the studies adequately reported on sexual side effects, researchers said.
The findings raise serious questions about whether the drug – known as finasteride and marketed as Propecia and Proscar, among other names – is safe, said the report by scientists at Northwestern University, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Dermatology
Not one of the 34 published clinical trial reports provided adequate information about the severity, frequency or reversibility of sexual adverse effects.
The published clinical trial reports did not answer the key questions doctors and patients want to know:
1) How safe is finasteride? Specifically, what is the risk that a man taking finasteride will develop sexual dysfunction?
2) How severe is finasteride-associated sexual dysfunction when it happens to a man?
3) If a man gets sexual dysfunction while taking finasteride, will sexual function return to normal when the drug is stopped? What is the risk of persistent sexual dysfunction associated with taking finasteride?
Finasteride was originally developed to treat enlarged prostate (prostatic hyperplasia) in older men. Men who take the drug for male pattern hair loss are typically younger and take a dose of finasteride that is about one-fifth the dose used for prostatic hyperplasia.
"People who take or prescribe the drug assume it's safe, but there is insufficient information to make that judgment, " said lead study author Dr. Steven Belknap, research assistant professor of dermatology and general internal medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
"Our findings raise several questions, " Belknap said. "Why do the published reports of these 34 clinical trials not provide adequate information about the severity and frequency of sexual toxicity? Was this information obtained but then not included in published articles? Or, were these clinical trials performed in a way that simply didn't capture this essential information? And most importantly, is the risk to benefit ratio of finasteride acceptable?"
The study is a report from the RADAR (Research on Adverse Drug Events and Reports) project at Northwestern's Feinberg School. The RADAR study points to a larger problem in the way clinical trials are performed and analyzed in meta-analyses.
"Typically, there is more focus on the desirable effects of the drug being studied compared to the toxic effects, " Belknap said.
Among other key findings of the paper:
Of 5, 704 men in the Northwestern Medicine clinical data repository who were treated for male pattern baldness with finasteride, only 31 percent would meet inclusion criteria for the pivotal trials referenced in the manufacturer's "Full Prescribing Information."
Thus, the available information from clinical trials does not apply to most of these men in Northwestern's study population who took finasteride for male pattern baldness. For example, some men with hair loss who are taking finasteride have diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure or are taking other drugs such as diuretics or antidepressants that also increase the risk of sexual dysfunction.
Duration of drug safety evaluation was limited to one year or less for 26 of 34 trials (76 percent.) But 33 percent of men in the Northwestern clinical data repository took finasteride for more than one year.

Q: How to save a python object whose attributes also are objects and that on multiple levels? Hello, i have made a chess game in Python using pygame.
To do so, i have made an object of a "chess game" class i also made.
Now i would like to save games so we can play chess later.
I know that can use pickle (or other modules like json, and hdf5) to save my games.
I am aware that pickle can only let me save objects if i give their dictionnaries of variables in parameter for the pickle.dump method.
The problem is the following:
How to save a python object whose attributes also are objects and that on multiple levels?
To explain myself:
I have made an object of my "Chess" class whose attributs contain other objects.
For exemple, "board" is an attribut of chess and is an object of my "Board" class,
and board also contains objects,
one of which is the grid of all the pieces (it's a matrix made with a list in a list) and each of element of the grid is an object "piece" of my "Piece" class.
So is there a simple way to save all my game attributs without having to decompose each objects to get their dictionnaries?
and if yes, is it possible to save objects containing other objects as many times as i want?
Thank you very much in advance! :D

A: I believe the pickle module can in fact properly serialize your objects, based on the object hierarchy you've described:
In [1]: import pickle

In [2]: class Piece():
   ...:     def __init__(self, name):
   ...:         self.name = name
   ...:

In [3]: class Board():
   ...:     def __init__(self, pieces):
   ...:         self.pieces = pieces
   ...:

In [4]: board = Board([Piece("knight"), Piece("king")])

In [5]: save = pickle.dumps(board)

In [6]: restored_board = pickle.loads(save)

In [7]: for piece in restored_board.pieces:
   ...:     print(piece.name)
   ...:
knight
king
