…begins this Monday, November 16, at 7pm Eastern Time (U.S.), from a Connecticut parish of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese (Patriarchate of Constantinople). It's free, but Moodle, so you have to sign-up in advance to access it; you also need an email address to confirm your registration. It'll webcast live for 7 Monday nights in a row, with audio archives later at some point.
The presenter seems to have been the main "Ask Father" Q&A person on the previous edition of ACROD's website. He'll also be able to take questions for the online class by email, which he'll answer during the class.
Moodle seems to offer opportunities for a real online community during the class (if "asynchronous"), with blog and forum space available to participants (presumably only for the duration of the class).
For Stratford / Bridgeport-area locals — it's not just being offered online — this seems to be the St. John's on Broadbridge Avenue, that's right off I-95 and a stone's throw from the Metro North train station.
I've signed-up, because I always learn something — and because my disability limits my in-person opportunities.
Interestingly, while New Calendar Orthodox parishes will have begun the Nativity Fast the day before (Sunday), and conclude it the last week of the class, Fr. Peter's parish is Old Calendar, so won't start it until Sat. 11/28, and of course Nativity for them is January 7 New Style. (Yes, U.S. Thanksgiving never falls during the Nativity Fast on the OC.)*
NB: Although the Moodle set-up has room for grading and such, I've never heard of a graded Orthodoxy 101 class, so fear not. I think that option for Moodle customers / users (such as ACROD) just comes with the web/software 'cyber classroom' package.
(*–Who says the Old Calendar is slow? They've already celebrated Christmas 2009!! 😉 )
What's a Jurisdiction?

As commonly used in reference to Orthodoxy and Eastern Catholicism — broadly considered (I can't speak about other Churches) — in the Western world, the informal noun jurisdiction seems to indicate a particular ethnic, national, and/or patriarchate's Church in a given country, region, or continent(s) … considered a part of The One Single Orthodox Church [or "The Catholic Church," in ECs' case], completely sharing the same doctrine and Faith, "In Full Communion" and not separate "denominations." (However, the term may also be used, less commonly, in connection with "non-canonical" groups.) I believe the term in this usage is so prominent in the West because, due to "overlapping" (or disagreement regarding … jurisdiction), there are so many here, more per square mile than in 'the Eastern world' where Orthodox Church structures are mostly integrated in one way or another.
I'm describing this very carefully. Technically, any Ruling Hierarch's area or class of responsibility might be (and sometimes IS) called his jurisdiction, or for Greek words, his eparchy ("to rule over") or omophorion (his liturgical-vestment stole, essentially, symbolic of his shepherding [like a Latin metropolitan-archbishop's pallium]). However, I believe in common, colloquial discussion, the term is rather used as I stated above. This may be because any local bishoprics within "a jurisdiction" are perceived as being able to "come and go" over time, as with their boundaries, while "the jurisdiction" itself — in this case a parent body if you will — has had a longer existence, and often a more stable or knowable one, especially in the eyes of people less familiar with the jurisdiction under discussion at this or that moment.
I said "a particular ethnic, national, or patriarchate's Church" generically, too. A "jurisdiction" in fact may be a Bishopric, a cluster of Bishoprics, or one or more parishes overseen in some other way. To flesh this out, in the United States and Canada, the following are currently clusters of Bishoprics commonly described as ("canonical") jurisdictions:
The Autocephalous Orthodox Church in America (OCA), consisting of 11 "territorial" dioceses (one called an Exarchate), 3 additional "ethnic" dioceses (these latter may also sometimes be referred to as "jurisdictions," even though they are parts of The OCA), and 3 parishes in Australia;
the Antiochian Archdiocese of North America, structured as 9 territorial dioceses, as well as the overlapping Western Rite Vicariate;
the Greek Archdiocese of America, consisting of 8 metropolises (local/regional bishoprics), a Direct Archdiocesan District, the overlapping "Vicariate for Palestinian/Jordanian Communities in the USA" (which may also be referred to as "a jurisdiction"); and a Patriarchal monastery with its dependent monasteries, parishes, and missions in the U.S. and Belize, Central America;
the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, with 3 eparchies;
the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada, also with 3 eparchies;
The Serbian Orthodox Church in North and South America, with 4 dioceses in the U.S. and one in Canada; and
the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), with 3 dioceses in the U.S., one in Canada, 2 in Western Europe, one each in Australasia and Russia, along with an "ecclesiastical mission" in Jerusalem, a cluster of parishes in South America, and an Old Rite (Old Believer) parish administered by a vicar-bishop (auxiliary) of the First Hierarch (primate) of ROCOR.
The following are currently single Bishoprics commonly described as ("canonical") jurisdictions:
The American Carpatho-Russian Diocese,
the Albanian Diocese in America,
the Greek Metropolis of Canada (separate from the Greek Archdiocese of America — formerly "of North and South America" — since the 1990s),
the Romanian Archdiocese in the Americas,
the Bulgarian Diocese of the USA, Canada, and Australia, and
the newly-established Georgian Eparchy of America and Canada, which so far has one monastery in the works, expecting to offer public church Services, and a kind of school, just south of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, (at 60 Charles Street in Hanover Township, 18706, near Ashley … the former Holy Rosary Slovak RC Church); and possibly a mission in the Philadelphia area; both with archpastoral oversight by Metropolitan DIMITRI (Shiolashvili) of the diocese of Batumi and Lazeti, Georgia, and reportedly his Patriarch's nephew (scroll down).
The following are currently other parish structures commonly described as ("canonical") jurisdictions:
The Patriarchal Parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church in the USA, administered by a vicar-bishop (auxiliary) of the Patriarch of Moscow, and
the Patriarchal Parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church in Canada, also administered by a vicar-bishop (auxiliary) of the Patriarch of Moscow.
How are they (within "canonical" Orthodoxy) different from denominations? Due in part to unfamiliarity, rough analogies, and/or misinformation, Orthodoxy is widely considered "a family of churches," compared to the Oriental Churches or the historic Anglican Communion, contrasted with the Papacy of Rome, etc. But I believe Holy Tradition from within Orthodoxy views it as a single Church, subdivided into Patriarchates and other Autocephalous Churches, just as these are further comprised of Autonomous, Semi-Autonomous, and other local Churches — ecclesiastical provinces and bishoprics, generically speaking. We Westerners aren't used to thinking of a single Church including more than one 'effective' Patriarch, who "does not submit to another patriarch," since the Patriarch of Rome is effectively "more equal" than his Eastern Catholic and other Latin Patriarchs … with whom most Westerners are unfamiliar anyway! (This isn't a put-down of Catholicism in this case, merely an observation.) Orthodoxy has no human 'top dog' able to force other Bishops to his will "under pain of excommunication" the same way Rome has, "merely" a First Among Equals — the same for over 1,600 years.
Orthodoxy's internal squabbles, turf battles, boundary disputes, and apparent "ethnic" divisiveness, further remind Westerners more of Protestant denominations than of a single Body. But the institution of the o/Orthodox Ecumenical Synod (Council) makes Orthodoxy's unity, oneness, most visible. Before the 20th century it was not unheard of in Orthodoxy to say we had had 9 of these: the 7 commonly-considered during the first Christian millennium, an 8th in there, and the 9th during the 1300s. It's been a while, but the next has been in the works for most of the last century (the first that won't be "strongly encouraged" together by an Orthodox Emperor!). o/Orthodox Ecumenical Synods have refuted errors and the erroneous, sacked Patriarchs, even examined Popes of Rome for heresy, as well as brought greater order to disorder in the Church … all under the heard/felt, experienced, confirmed leadership of the All-Holy Spirit of God, One of the Trinity, in the meetings and among the holy ones outside the meetings — the true "guardians of the Faith" — who received their Teaching (and rejected "robbers' synods" lacking the Spirit and misleading the Flock). Today's autocephalous Orthodox Churches are the true successors of the 1st millennium's autocephalous ecclesiastical provinces, and the ante-Nicene "autocephalous" bishoprics, maintaining The Church's conciliarity, Truth, and reasonableness for nearly 2,000 years.
So internal — if you will, inter-jurisdictional — disagreements are temporary … even if it takes a while to work them out … this seems to be God's Most Holy Will.
What's a Patriarch, Take Two

(Take One is here, where I ran off at the mouth for a while!)
Patriarch is one possible title for the presiding bishop or primate of a region of The Orthodox Church comprising a number of bishoprics, and/or even a number of smaller such regions. Currently the other two possible titles are Metropolitan or Archbishop, although not all Metropolitans or Archbishops are presiding bishops of regions.
At this time Orthodoxy generally recognizes 9 Patriarchs of the following 'home' regions, listed in order of honorary seniority:
Constantinople: northern and western Turkey, northern and eastern Greece, Semi-autonomous Church of Crete, Autonomous Church of Finland. NB: Often referred to as the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, style bestowed during the 1st Christian millennium as C'ople was capital of the ("Byzantine"/Eastern) Empire of the Romans, ie, "the Ecumene," even while the Pope* and Patriarch of Rome and All the West was still First Among Equals, though most of the time outside the Empire.
Alexandria: continent of Africa, excluding Sinai Peninsula
Antioch: (headquartered in Damascus, Syria, since Middle Ages): southern Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Persian Gulf
Jerusalem: Israel, West Bank, Gaza Strip, (Golan Heights?,) Jordan, rest of Arabian Peninsula, autonomous monastic Church of Sinai
Moscow: former Soviet Union, except part of Caucasus (see Georgia below), Estonia (shared with Constantinople by temporary agreement), Autonomous Church of China (revival under negotiation with PRC; Hong Kong shared cooperatively with Constantinople), Autonomous Church of Japan (C'ople has a couple Greek parishes there), missions in Mongolia, North Korea
Serbia: former Yugoslavia; ministry to Serbs in Romania and Albania by agreement with those Churches.
Romania: that country; ministry to Romanians in Serbia by agreement with that Church.
Bulgaria: that country.
Georgia: that country and adjoining parts of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey. NB: Georgia's primate is fully titled Catholicos-Patriarch, Catholicos having been an ancient primatial title in the Caucasus and Mesopotamia.
The following regions' chief bishops are titled Metropolitan: Poland (autocephalous), Czech Republic and Slovakia (autocephalous), Orthodox Church in America (OCA, de facto autocephalous), Ukraine (Moscow Patriarchate, autonomous), Belarus (MP, autonomous), Japan (MP, autonomous), Moldova (MP, autonomous), several provinces in Romania, the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (aka ROCOR: MP, autonomous), the Ukrainian Churches of the USA and of Canada (parts of C'ople). And the following regions' chief bishops are titled Archbishop: Greece (ie, western Greece: autocephalous), Cyprus (autocephalous), Albania (autocephalous), Finland (C'ople, autonomous), Crete (C'ople, semiautonomous), the Greek Archdiocese of America (part of C'ople).
The title employed is a matter of local ecclesiastical tradition and evolution. And as I mentioned, many Metropolitans and Archbishops do not head regions or clusters of bishoprics, but single bishoprics, or may even be auxiliary bishops. But according to the common law of the Church, "A Patriarch never submits to another Patriarch," nevermind to any other Bishop … except as equals in order of precedence or honorary seniority. For example, if two or more Patriarchs find themselves in a meeting or church service together, the senior presides or chairs, but ideally does not 'dictate.'
*–In Orthodox faith and practice, the title pope has never carried universal jurisdiction or significance, or even necessarily episcopacy. Orthodoxy's senior pope is the Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, "only" second-among-equals; its other popes, ie, "Fathers," are parish priests in Greece, Romania, and Russia [hence such common family surnames as Pappas, Popp, and Popov, respectively; St. Innocent of Alaska was born into a family of Popovs in Siberia, but since there were so many unrelated Popovs when he went to school, he was assigned a byname, Veniaminov, by which he became known exclusively]. Thus, the Pope of Rome in their eyes was never more than a brother Patriarch, senior only because Rome was the first capital of the Empire of the Romans (as affirmed on paper by Ecumenical Synods). OTOH, in its own eyes Rome's "pope" effectively developed another, higher level of jurisdiction, even over other Patriarchs, sometimes embodied in the fuller title "Pope of the Universal Church." The rest of Christianity never accepted this, even if from time to time Rome took actions in the East that came to be accepted, even acclaimed with what is sometimes called "Byzantine hyperbole."
Why Patriarch at all? By the middle of the 1st millennium the 5 most important or regionally-influential bishoprics in Chalcedonian Christendom had been accorded recognition as ecclesiastical "country-rulers," or from the Greek, patri-archs: Old Rome, New Rome (C'ople), Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem. (This among several hundred Ecclesiastical Provinces, and thousands of bishoprics!) This usage spread with Byzantine Christianity among the Serbs and Bulgarians, and eventually to the Empire of Russia, to Romania, and to Georgia. Sometimes a new Local Orthodox Church's primate was not called Patriarch, but "just" Metropolitan or Archbishop, only to have the higher honor of Patriarch bestowed upon him later in history. The others listed above have not yet been "elevated" to Patriarchal status, and perhaps never will, since in modern times it seems established that a Local Orthodox Church can be autocephalous without having to be a patriarchate; in fact, Cyprus was formally affirmed as autocephalous by the Third Ecumenical Synod (the Council of Ephesus) in the 5th century, and has never been a Patriarchate.
By comparison, AFAIK Metropolitan as a distinct title was never used in Western Europe, although most Latin prelates called Archbishop are actually defined as metropolitan archbishops, that is, as chief bishops of ecclesiastical provinces. But most Latin provinces have long since lost most of their significance in Church life to Vatican agencies and the relatively-new national and regional Bishops' Conferences. In my own state, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference includes resident ruling hierarchs not only of the Latin Church, but also the Ukrainian and Ruthenian (aka "Byzantine") uniate Churches. Similarly, some Anglican primates or archbishops are defined as metropolitans, but not as a title. OTOH, the most historically significant Latin Patriarchs other than Rome developed thanks to the Crusades' introduction of the Latin Church into the Near East, and continued with later honorifics for bishops in Venice, Lisbon, the West Indies (ie, colonial Spanish America), and the East Indies (ie, colonial India and vicinity); but there has never been any question of the strictly subordinate character of these other Latin patriarchs to the Pope of Rome.
[In re: "Patriarch of the West": The page just referenced at Giga-Catholic.com actually graphically illustrates the elevation of Rome above Patriarchates, just as this one does not list Rome AS a Patriarchal See — just as some Orthodox commentators feared when Benedict XVI disused his most influential ancient title, Patriarch of the West, a couple years ago. What they critiqued is that from the o/Orthodox perspective, far from humbling Rome's Papal office, this move sought to rely ever more on the unaccepted claim to "Pope of the Universal Church." Again ISTM the Orthodox and Rome are talking past one another without realizing it.]
Historically the Latins in many countries had national Primates. Often these were the bishops of those nations' oldest Sees, sometimes their most important even if not oldest — and then there are England and Ireland, each with TWO primatial Sees, Canterbury and York, and Armagh and Dublin, respectively! Baltimore was kind-of considered primatial see of the United States, although the status never developed into as big a deal as in some European countries. These primacies were usually honorific, sometimes real chairmen of their episcopates, although sometimes in local ecclesiastical politics, or even in dealings with civil rulers, they became real leaders of their peoples. They are now said to be on the wane worldwide, again in exchange for Bishops' Conferences.

A striking and ornate 19th-century building which houses Lille's renowned museum of fine arts, Palais des Beaux-Arts is a masterpiece in itself. The building contains a treasure trove for art lovers, a cultural attraction second only to the Louvre in Paris. The gallery features works by Goya, Donatello, Raphael and Rubens, to name just a few of the masters represented. There are also a number of works by French artists, including three major items: Belisarius Asking for Alms by David; After Dinner at Ornans by Courbet; and Sleep by Puvis de Chavannes. Although the museum contains mainly paintings, there are also some collections of ceramics, relief maps and a large section of Italian and French drawings. The museum aims to be inter-disciplinary and therefore includes literature, theatre, music, dance and cinema in its exhibitions and organises events to celebrate all these art forms. Many visitors complain that although the museum is astounding and well worth a visit it is a little hard to find; a good tourist map is very useful in Lille.


The Association of Issuing Houses of Nigeria has said that Nigeria needs capital investment of N35tn per annum to experience real growth in the economy.
This was part of the recommendation released a in a communiqué after the association's first business lunch meeting in Lagos.
The President, AIHN, Mr Chuka Eseka, stated in the communique that, "Nigeria is a N140tn economy. To reverse the negative trends in unemployment and poverty and see real growth, we shall need capital investment of N35tn per annum consistently over the next 10 years and the capital market if properly incentivised can facilitate this.
To deliver economic growth, the association said revenue generation must be a priority for government.
"We must stimulate productive activities within the economy that will generate revenue," it added.
AIHN said that the private sector efficiency was critical in harnessing the potential infrastructure development.
It added that increased efforts must be made to galvanise foreign direct investment as well as domestic investment.
"For the power sector to thrive, government must create an enabling environment and address existing governance, legal, regulatory, funding and pricing issues," it stated.
It also stated that it was time for the capital market to invest intellectual capital and develop solutions for funding key national priority sectors such as power, transportation and telecommunications to achieve the transformational and catalytic economic benefits.

Book Club – Books of the Month
Off the Grid Series
Review – Perilous Trust by Barbara Freethy
This book had so much suspense, it gave me a headache, but of the best kind. This was the first book I have read by Barbara Freethy, but it will not be the last. Damon, our hero, is dark and twisty and very closed off from any type of commitment to anything other than his job and his friends. But in a moment of pure weakness, he comes across our heroine, Sophie and together these two get lost in each other. Fast forward 4 years and these two thought they would never see each other again but Sophie's father is Damon's boss and mentor and their lives are thrown together once more. I really enjoyed the character of Damon, although he's in a little bit more in denial about his feelings towards Sophie than I normally like in my heroes. I was a little apprehensive about him, honestly, but he quickly grew on me, especially given his commitment to keep Sophie safe. However, I fell head-over-heels in love with him when he made a choice I did not see coming. Sophie is reeling after the death of her father. But this girl is made of some pretty stern stuff. I love smart and determined heroines and Sophie was one of kind….brilliant and completely real. She had no idea of her strength and honestly, as the hits kept coming, I myself would have just sat down and cried. But not Sophie. She just keeps on going. There was not as much chemistry between our characters at the very beginning but it quickly went from a low smolder to an out of control blaze….especially when they are running for their lives. I loved seeing their relationship progress from one-night-stand-long-ago to can't-live-without-you-must-have-you-now. It was truly raw and honest. This book had a great plot, full of action and suspense. There are some great secondary characters who I can't wait to have their stories told. The plot twists were pretty awesome and even better, I couldn't figure out who the actual bad guy was (something suspense books frequently give away before the end and a wonderful surprise when they don't) and the ending was satisfying and happy. Overall, I enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read the next book in this series! 4.5 stars.
In PERILOUS TRUST, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy brings you the first book in a new romantic suspense series! OFF THE GRID: An FBI Series offers five breath-stealing books filled with action-packed plot, heart-stopping romance, and page-turning suspense.
It was one dark night that brought Damon Wolfe and Sophie Parker together. They were two tortured souls, looking for escape, and they weren't supposed to see each other ever again…
Four years later, Sophie's FBI father, who is also Damon's mentor, is killed in a suspicious car crash after leaving Sophie a cryptic message to trust no one from the agency. When Damon shows up looking for her, she isn't sure if he's friend or enemy, but she knows he could easily rip apart what is left of her heart.
The last thing Damon wants is to get involved with Sophie again. It was hard enough to walk away the first time. But she's in trouble, her father's reputation is under attack, and the lives of his fellow agents are at stake if there's a traitor in their midst.
When someone starts shooting at them, they have no choice but to go on the run and off the grid. Everyone in their world becomes a suspect. They want to uncover the truth, but will it turn out to be the last thing they expect? Proving her father's innocence might just cost them their hearts…and their lives…

"Why did you run away from your apartment, your friends, your father's coworkers? Why did you just disappear, Sophie?" Damon asked.
"Because someone killed my dad."
"It's possible it was an accident."
"You don't believe that any more than I do."
"Maybe not, but I think something specific spooked you."
"You mean like the two men I saw going into my apartment building?"
"You saw the men who broke into your apartment?" he asked in surprise.
"I don't know if they were the ones, but they could have been."
"What did they look like?"
"Law enforcement, maybe—I don't know."
Damon stared back at her, and she could see him running through her words in his head. "Why would you be afraid of law enforcement when your father is FBI?"
"Gut instinct," she lied, knowing she wouldn't have been afraid at all if her father hadn't told her to be. "And it looks like I was right to run. If I'd gone to my apartment, who knows what would have happened?"
His lips drew into a hard line. "Look, Sophie, I want to help you."
"Why? Why on earth would you want to help me?"
His gaze darkened, and the air sizzled between them as they found themselves back in a place probably neither of them wanted to revisit, but they were there all the same.
"We're not friends," she said quickly, needing to break the tension. "We're not anything. We haven't seen each other in four years. Why do you care where I am, what I'm doing? Is it because of loyalty to my dad? That has to be it, right? Nothing else could have made you drive all the way up here."
"I should have called you after that night," he said.
"I'm not looking for an apology."
"Aren't you?"
"No. Maybe. No," she said, hating to sound so uncertain. "None of that is important now. I have bigger problems."
"Then let's talk about now," he said, relief in his eyes as he changed the subject. "I respected your father. He was a mentor to me. I owe him for that, and I know that he would want me to help you. He trusted me, and I hope you can trust me, too."
"I don't know if my father trusted you," she said, shaking her head.
Surprise and anger flared in his eyes. "Why would you say that?"
"Because he told me not to trust anyone from the bureau, and since you're an agent, that includes you. Please, just go. Just leave me alone," she pleaded, desperate to get him out of the cabin before she did something even more stupid—like start to trust him. "I'll disappear. I'll go somewhere no one else knows about. You don't have to worry about me. You've done your duty. You came after me. You did that for my dad. Now do something for me—leave me alone. You've managed it for four years. You can keep going."
His mouth tightened. "I'm not leaving you alone. You won't be safe. You can't get help from a friend, because you'll put them in danger, and even if you are very careful, you'll make a mistake. You don't know how to stay off the radar, but I do. You're going to have to trust someone at some point. You're going to have to put your anger aside and let it be me."
Before she could answer, she was suddenly hit with a shower of glass from the nearby window.
What the hell had just happened?
Another pane blew out, and something whizzed by her ear.
Damon grabbed her arm and pulled down as a third window exploded.
Someone was shooting at her!

We've written a migration guide to help existing application authors migrate their 5.x applications to ReactiveUI 6.0. Check out this document before updating your dependencies to get a heads-up as to what you're in for.
ReactiveUI 6.0 has great support for all of the latest developer platforms, including WinRT Universal Apps as well as support for the new Xamarin Forms UI toolkit via the new ReactiveUI-XamForms NuGet package. Use either the updated Portable Library support, or use the new Shared Projects tooling in Visual Studio.
Existing support for Android and iOS has also been greatly improved, including support for unit test runners on those platforms, as well as creating Observable abstractions for all events via the ReactiveUI-Events package. Helpers for the Android Support Library are now also provided, via the ReactiveUI-AndroidSupport package.
We've added great support for recycling list-based views on iOS and Android (UICollectionView and UITableView on iOS, ListAdapter on Android). These new adapter classes allow you to map a ReactiveList of ViewModel objects and automatically create and recycle the associated views, for high-performance lists without writing a ton of boilerplate code.
On iOS, added and removed items will even be automatically animated in and out. On Android, we help you easily implement the ViewHolder pattern to limit the amount of work done while scrolling.
One of the focuses of this release has been performance and memory usage in large applications. ReactiveUI 6.0 is much less prone to creating memory leaks in application code via WeakEventManager, as well as more performant by eliminating scheduling latency as much as possible. Other features, such as View and ViewModel Activation, allow you to create and clean-up objects only when the View is actually visible on-screen, saving a lot of unnecessary work.
While some of these changes will require you to update your application and unit tests, the end result is an application that uses less memory and feels more responsive.
ReactiveUI 5.x used a separate installation of the Reactive Extensions for .NET for Xamarin projects, which made creating proper Portable Libraries more difficult. RxUI 6.0 now resolves this completely, and you can now build ViewModels that work on every supported platform.

I've completed three more Free Code Camp algorithms since my last go on May 30th.
I needed less guidance on these particular algorithms, all but one. The algorithm solutions weren't too hard to come up with, however on Slasher FLick I really overcomplicated my solution. I was thinking way too hard about how to solve it— new array? Should I return newArray as a part of the function call? Do I push the result of the cut off part of the array into newArray?
Return the remaining elements of an array after chopping off n elements from the head.
The head means the beginning of the array, or the zeroth index.
Seems simple enough. But I was thinking too much and making it more complex than it needed to be because of my recent previous solutions.
I would get a double array, because like I said, splice returns a new array from the chopped off part. So I tried to use a non-initialized variable— var newArray;— that returned a TypeError.
I went to the Free Code Camp wiki to look at the explanation in more detail. I finally came up with an Aha! Moment. I only needed to return the array that was resulting in the splice method.
I thought, okay. I got this.
That didn't work. I went to Gitter.
A guy there told me I needed to compare two arrays. I couldn't figure out what he meant by that. To the wiki.
There I found out I should use toLowerCase and think about turning the array strings into an array of chars.
as part of the equation. That also didn't work. By this time, I am tired, it is late and I just wanted this to work. I went back to the wiki and found the solution.
I am studying this. I am trying to figure out what is going on here and I will probably go to Code Newbie Slack to ask around.
I am doing the Falsy Bouncer algorithm after this post. It looks easy enough, and if I get stuck I will go to Gitter instead of the wiki as the solutions are there. You don't have to look, but I was tired and frustrated last night which is never a good mix.
I will also be reading all the algorithm books I have and the Coursera courses I downloaded from Stanford.

Q: How to write a view in couchbase for this sql statement Let's say I have the following documents
Document 1
{
  companyId: "1",
  salesDate: "1425254400000" //this is UTC time as a long
}
Document 2
{
  companyId: "1",
  salesDate: "1425340800000" //this is UTC time as a long
}
Document 3
{
  companyId: "2",
  salesDate: "1425254400000" //this is UTC time as a long
}

I currently have my view set up as
function(doc, meta) { emit([doc.salesDate, doc.companyId], doc); }

Which is pulling back all 3 documents when using
?startkey=[1425254400000,"1"]&endkey=[1425340800000,"1"]

I'm not sure how to make it only pull back the sales for that date range by company id.
The sql version would be SELECT * FROM sales WHERE companyId = :companyId AND salesDate BETWEEN :rangeStart AND :rangeEnd
EDIT: I'm using the rest API.

A: When designing views for range queries with multiple query fields, the fixed query field(companyId) should be a prefix of the compound index and the range query field should be at the end. With the current view, Couchbase will emit every document where salesDate is within the range without considering companyId.
Reversing the order of keys will work:
function(doc, meta) {
  emit([doc.companyId, doc.salesDate], doc);
}

Query:
?startkey=["1", 1425254400000]&endkey=["1", 1425340800000]

N.B. if salesDate is a string and not a numeric value, Couchbase will use lexicographic ordering to perform the range query.

Q: Removing Backbone View and Unbinding Events I'm recently started working in Backbone Library. The Backbone View currently I'm working on have child views so I thought I can override the remove() method and do the clean-up job there.
Here is the code,
var myView = Backbone.View.extend({
   ...

   remove: function(){
      this.childView1.remove();
      this.childView2.remove();

      Backbone.View.prototype.unbind.call(this);
      Backbone.View.prototype.remove.call(this);
   }
});

On seeing some examples in SO, the order in which unbind() and remove() is called is reversed means first they are calling remove() and then unbind(). The order what I've above is correct or wrong?

A: I don't think the order matters, all remove does is call,
remove: function() {
  this.$el.remove();
  this.stopListening();
  return this;
}

which removes the element form the DOM and removes any listeners,
and .off() (.unbind() is just a mask for .off()) just removes all bound callbacks for all events for the object. The order won't matter as the outcome will be the same.
It should be noted that as long as you are using this.listenTo() to register all your event listeners (You really should be), you don't even need to call .off(),
remove: function(){
   this.childView1.remove();
   this.childView2.remove();
   return Backbone.View.prototype.remove.call(this);
}

Learn Japanese Online JLPT N5 & JLPT N4
Under the Technical Intern Training Program, which ARMS Incorporation runs for its students, over three lakh Indian technical interns would be sent to Japan for three to five years of on-the-job training (TITP) Since Japan welcomes a large number of skilled workers from other countries in a variety of industries, including mechanical, industrial packaging, construction, care workers, food processing, etc., ARMS equip students to take advantage of the possibility to find employment in Japan. Additionally, with a monthly payment of around 2 lakh Rupees annually, applicants may anticipate saving about 25 lakhs in about 3 years while working. For recent grads and young professionals, this clearly appears to be a tremendous opportunity, and ARMs Incorporation is prepared to assist.
And to support the technical interns' attempts to secure outstanding jobs in Japan, ARMS Incorporated has developed free Japanese language lessons beginning at the basic N5 and N4 levels that will be taught by our qualified locals to improve pronunciation. With all of our team's efforts, we are posting brief videos on our website with visual samples to help students better comprehend the content. We have also set up frequent follow-ups with candidates by evaluating them through test modes. The study material is entirely from a Japanese school (Pochitto Nihongo). Our team will give each candidate's question top consideration and work to find an answer.
And now the question arises on why do we need to study Japanese before applying for a skilled Job in Japan?
The short answer is, most Japanese don't know how to speak English. One in fifty Japanese people, according to certain figures, can speak English. As a result, you must adjust to the culture and learn the language as you are moving to Japan to work there.
The ability to thoroughly immerse oneself in a culture is among the main advantages of learning Japanese. You can fully immerse yourself if you speak Japanese. You may interact with people, take part in celebrations and events, and experience local entertainment firsthand.
There is a Japanese language competency test that evaluates candidates' command of the language because it is required for applicants to have knowledge of Japanese in order to apply for jobs in Japan.
The five levels of the JLPT, a test of Japanese language competency, are N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5. The JLPT has no age limitations. Level N5 is the easiest, while N1 is the hardest. N4 and N5 test the degree of comprehension of fundamental Japanese that is mostly studied in school. Japanese comprehension as applied in a wide variety of real-world scenarios is measured by the N1 and N2 scales.
Since applicants must at least pass the JLPT N5 and N4 levels, ARMS Incorporation is willing to assist them for no charge. A free online Japanese language study resource is offered by ARMS. ARMS Incorporation is regarded as one of the top online tutors for the Japanese Language N5 and N4 courses and has more than 20 years of experience providing skill development and training courses. ARMS is always ready to assist its students in succeeding.
With over 20 years of experience in rendering skill development and training courses, the ARMS Incorporation was commenced in Japan by Mr Hamajima Masayoshi in Aichi, Nagoya. Acquiring the license of a 'Sending Organisation' in the very first phase, ARMS offer TITP and corporate Japanese language training to the individuals.

Private investigators Henry Churchill and Lexie Winston have found themselves in a tumultuous time in their newfound partnership. While trying to track down someone that's been recklessly selling magical texts to desperate people untrained in their use secrets from Henry's past begin to surface and drive a wedge between the pair. Unsure of who to trust, Lexie finds herself trying to make new allies and navigate the hidden agendas, buried secrets, and intricate network of allegiances in the supernatural underground of New York City. One false move and it could cost not only their partnership but the lives of everyone around them.
- A SHADOW UPON THE SCENES: Henry has concocted a plan to discover the identity of the magic dealer they've been tracking thanks to the assistance of a customer that just barely survived his brush with the supernatural. The plan isn't without it's dangers though, and if they don't tread carefully they'll find themselves trapped by Henry's darkest secret with no way to survive.
- A WOLF IN WOLF'S CLOTHING: Lexie and Henry's partnership is at a delicate juncture. Unsure of how to trust each other, Lexie strikes off on her own to help a bounty hunter track down someone or something that steals not just the identity but the face and lives of its victims. What should be a simple job turns deadly and Lexie finds herself unsure of who to trust and facing a killer that's just as vicious no matter what face it wears.
- INJURIES OF THE PAST: In the wake of a nearly partnership ending case Lexie inadvertently exposes Henry's secret to the wrong person, setting off a sequence of events that will jeopardizes not only Henry's soul but the lives of his entire family. If Lexie can't undo the damage she's done it won't just end their partnership but it could leave the entire city in chaos.
- A BODYGUARD OF LIES: Lexie and Henry finally have a solid lead on the person who's been selling the magical texts but to capitalize on it they'll have to do some favors for an unsavory collector of supernatural items. A piece of his collection has broken free and has been wreaking havoc in a wealthy suburb. They'll have to find a way to contain it before it tears that town apart, all the while navigating through his lies and half-truths, before they can get the answers they need.
Private investigator Henry Churchill has spent the past twenty years helping people who've been lured into the supernatural underbelly of New York City. Three months into his rocky new partnership with Lexie Winston and the mismatched pair have found themselves investigating magical texts being sold to desperate people untrained in their use and unaware of the dangers lurking within. There are enough hidden supernatural dangers in the city they have to face without unsuspecting and untrained people accidentally summoning demons, creating monsters, or inadvertently sending the world to Hell.
- NEVER LET GO: Lexie and Henry are contacted by a husband concerned about his wife after a tragic loss. With the help of an ancient, mystical text she's eased her pain with unspeakable and unnatural acts in the hopes of bringing back what they've lost.
- A LOVE SUPREME: A young woman's father hires the pair after his daughter is taken captive by a man with blood red eyes, razor sharp teeth, and voice that can break the will of anyone who hears it. Getting her back will require stealth, magic, and a lot of bullets.
- HEART OF SUFFERING: A woman is stalked by an ex-boyfriend who's taken to magic as the means for revenge over a heart break, Lexie & Henry have to divide and conquer against demons, monsters, and threats to their very souls.
- AN EQUAL SHARING OF MISERIES: In the aftermath of a botched immigration raid, a supernatural force is released. Lexie & Henry must track it with the help of a federal agent out for revenge before it can devour more lives, all while facing doubts and a lack of trust creeping into their partnership.
High school can be Hell, and Mark Watson's strategy for survival has always been to keep his head down and try to go unnoticed. That's hard when everyone knows him as "that weirdo quiet kid whose parents died."or worse "that kid Jack and his friends mess with and beat up all the time." When he literally runs into the cute new girl in school he finds himself happy to be noticed, especially since she sees him as "the kind of cute and shy boy that helped her adjust to another new school."
Despite things looking up for once Mark finds himself plagued by nightmares of children in the 1950's being held captive by an unhinged man trying to make them see the figure of flame and smoke that's compelling him to kill. Mark tries to brush it off as the product of an overactive imagination and traumatic childhood until someone close to him is murdered and his dreams show it to him in grisly detail.
Now Mark must figure out the connection to the visions of the past he's experiencing and the supernatural force in the present that's targeting anyone close to him. Something out there wants him broken, helpless, and alone as everything in his life is set aflame. Then, and only then, will it turn its burning eyes to him and drag him down into smoke and darkness.

Holders Chelsea thump Juve to reach Champions League last 16
Chelsea's English defender Reece James (centre) and Chelsea's French-born Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy embrace on the pitch after their UEFA Champions League Group H match against Juventus at Stamford Bridge in London on November 23, 2021. Chelsea won the game 4-0.
Photo credit: Adrian Dennis | AFP
Tuchel's evening wasn't completely problem free as both N'Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell were forced off, with the latter's knee injury looking especially concerning for the Premier League leaders ahead of Manchester United's visit on Sunday.
Lacklustre Juventus had already qualified for the last 16, but the defeat puts their hopes of finishing top of the group in severe jeopardy.
Thomas Tuchel's side took the lead when Antonio Rudiger's handball went unpunished in the build-up to Chalobah's first half opener at Stamford Bridge.
Ronaldo fires Man Utd into Champions League last 16
Football Nov 24
Juventus never recovered from that blow as Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timo Werner struck after half-time to send Chelsea to the top of Group H.
Chelsea are above Juventus on goal difference and will guarantee a first place finish if they win at Zenit Saint Petersburg in their last group fixture on December 8.
It was another commanding display from Chelsea, who are unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions since losing 1-0 at Juventus in September.
James, one of three scorers on the night to graduate from Chelsea's youth academy, was especially dynamic at right wing-back as the 21-year-old matures into a world-class talent.
Chelsea's star striker Romelu Lukaku was back on the bench after his lengthy absence with an ankle injury.
But Lukaku wouldn't be needed as Tuchel's men tore Juventus apart.
Juventus striker Alvaro Morata was on familiar ground against his old club, but the Spaniard didn't receive a warm welcome.
He was repeatedly booed and subjected to chants of "Chelsea reject" after a disappointing spell with the Blues that ended in 2020.
Relentless Chelsea
That hostility wasn't reserved to the stands as Chelsea pressed Juventus relentlessly, dominating possession in a match played almost exclusively in the Italians' half.
James nearly broke the deadlock when his inswinging free-kick forced an alert save from Wojciech Szczesny at his near post.
Chalobah ensured Chelsea's pressure didn't go unrewarded in the 25th minute.
Hakim Ziyech's corner reached Rudiger and he bundled it towards Chalobah, who fired into the roof of the net from close-range for his third goal this season.
Juventus appealed furiously for handball against Rudiger and although it did strike the defender's arm, the goal was allowed to stand as he did not make a deliberate movement towards the ball.
It was Chalobah's first Champions League goal in his maiden start in the tournament, extending a breakthrough season for the 22-year-old.
Chelsea's lead was preserved by a brilliant goal-line clearance from Thiago Silva moments later as the Brazilian raced back to hook the ball to safety after Morata lobbed Blues keeper Edouard Mendy.
After Kante was taken off, his replacement Ruben Loftus-Cheek twice lost possession in dangerous areas, with Rodrigo Bentancur curling over from the second his mistakes.
That was a rare malfunction in the Chelsea machine and normal service was resumed in the 56th minute.
Chilwell's cross was glanced into James' path at the far post and he smashed a ferocious shot into the far corner from an acute angle.
Chelsea were rampant and Hudson-Odoi put the result beyond doubt two minutes later.
Gliding through the ramshackle Juventus defence after a blur of quick passes, Loftus-Cheek deftly found Hudson-Odoi and his clinical finish sent Tuchel dancing onto the pitch in a fist-pumping jig of delight.
The sight of Chilwell being helped off the pitch after a challenge from Adrien Rabiot took some of the shine off Chelsea's impressive performance.
But there was still time for Werner to tap-in with virtually the last kick after James' sublime pass picked out Ziyech for the cross.

Continued conspiracies of Nilepet Managing Director Dr. Chol Deng Thon.
By Monyluak Mijak Tor,
This testimony might shock many of you but bear with me as I give you an insight story of who Dr. Chol really is based on current adventures and previous versions of his dealings. Dr. Chol is a man obsessed with egocentricity, lustrous appetizers, chauvinistic characters and conspiracies. South Sudanese as a people are easily driven by emotions and sympathy for others, and with this, many people have sympathized with praises that Dr. Chol is the awaited Messiah of Nile Petroleum capable of moving mountains and seas to another planet. These are all lies paid for by Dr. Chol to his stooges, bootlickers and concubines to confuse the public while continuing with looting.
Unfortunately, the adjectives framed in praising him are blank cheque meant for attracting public opinion in a positive way and the matter fact that Chol came back to his previous kingdom for two reasons is covered with propaganda that he is the savior, but Chol is back to revenge on his sacking from Nile Petroleum which he blamed on few greedy Bahrgazalians who betrayed him not to continue with his looting projects. Chol also wants to repay himself as he loses millions of money for campaigning in his last return to Nile Petroleum. He made this clear through appointment of 42 directors from his close relatives, in-laws and Apadang community from Baliet county of Upper Nile state in order to consolidate means of income from different sources of revenue.
Many people believed that Chol was reappointed based on merits but he forged his way through by paying political brokers huge money to convince the president that he is the only person capable of salvaging the company from the brink of collapse which is not correct. If people talk of real reformists, Chol will not even be in the top ten because he is the man behind the wreckage of Nile Petroleum corporation in the last five years through his conspiracies. He played a great deal in the downfall of Thelweng Mathiang Rok using his dirty tricks to remove him. If you don't believe this, just have your time to find out that almost every employee in Nile Petroleum is unhappy with the return of Chol. Chol has started fighting with staff from day one of his return physically as usual, because he is known as a lunatic fighter in his neighborhood. He was once quoted saying that " my in-laws from Bhare Gazal listen with their mouths". This is simply to say that he is paying many people from that side to maintain his position as managing director of Nile Petroleum.
To complement this claim, he started by removing all the staff who are not related to him from top position replacing them with his relatives and a few sellouts who have chosen bread from integrity and employed them as city cameras to record people and report against workers around the clock to appease their nasty boss. Chol clandestine activities, bribery, sensory and division of the staff are main components of his managing style. The company has become a political round table where staff are divided into Chol boys and enemies of daily bread. So which future does this hold for gigantic national corporations like Nile Petroleum? Nile Petroleum corporation was initially established to evaluate, monitor and guide foreign companies operating in the oil industry in South Sudan. Not only that, but to empower South Sudanese working in the oil sector and train staff to take over from foreigners in coming years. Is that happening now? Not exactly. Is Nile Petroleum corporation generating enough revenues as meant to be through buying more shares? No, why? Because Chol is busy buying people instead of shares. Leadership has missed targets this round for bringing back wildcat like Chol Deng who he is thirsty and will quench his thirst before doing any tangible things that many anticipated. He is enriching himself with his political brokers at the expense of poor South Sudanese who expect service delivery from such institutions.
Dr. Chol is a deadly cone man with deadly tricks that many readers won't believe. The building of Nile Petroleum which is located near freedom hall was an initiative of Thelweng with an accumulated budget of 11 million dollars, but Chol altered that contract after his appointment and signed a new contract worth 47 million dollars in order to divert some money into his overseas accounts. He spent his four years using the building as scapegoat for staying in Nile Petroleum as managing director of Nile Petroleum telling president of his main project that needs to be completed first and should be given enough time to complete it. But he didn't finish it until he was sacked by the leadership.
With all these dirty games played by Chol in his first term as managing director, he made his way back to Nile Petroleum using all possible means to secure position again. He told some of his close friends that he uses around 2 million dollars for campaigns and he must pay himself before others knowing that things will deteriorate soon or later.

"For the second time this year, the bipartisan Senate coalition has passed a budget that accomplishes our top priorities: increasing investments in education, living within our means and meeting the state requirement to balance over four years.
"The Senate budget increases education funding by $1.5 billion without new taxes. That's more money than the House managed to put in their new budget for education, despite the fact that they raise taxes by over $500 million in the next two years.
"Our budget is also predicated on reforming state government. We will continue to fight for common-sense reforms to improve the state's business climate and education system.

Senate Bill 5895 – Limiting non-education spending to the level of increase in population and inflation to help meet the state's constitutional education-funding mandate.

I got some postal mail from Cogceo. I thew it on the passenger seat and thought to myself "bet they are offering me a new, extra fast extra expensive bandwidth package." Because the cost of ISPs only ever goes up, unlike the cost of computers or the cost of renting a server, etc. Because there is zero competition amongst ISPs; for broadband I can have DSL or DOCSIS, provided by Bell or Cogeco. Both have resellers, but the basic rate is fixed by Bell or Cogeco. But I was wrong. The letter was to announce improved service (upload speed doubling) but not a rate increase. Yet.

Psychologists Reveal 9 Tricks To Attract All People Around You
Some people simply ooze unfathomable appeal which pulls everyone to them. People flock to such people.
The best part about this is that your looks are irrelevant here!
But let's jump straight to the point: what are the things that makes one person instantly likable? We've listed 9 ways to become a well-liked attractive person, proven by Psychology:
1. Individual Image – Self Concept
Baumeister (1999) provides the following self concept definition: "The individual's belief about himself or herself, including the person's attributes and who and what the self is".
If you see yourself in a positive and healthy light, your life experiences will be positive and healthy. It doesn't necessarily mean that your life will be free of challenges and adversity, just that you will have a healthier approach to dealing with them.
To be remembered in a crowd, you must stand out. For that, you need to create a unique image – an image which isn't easy to forget. It can be anything. The way you walk. Your gestures, posture, the way of speaking or dressing sense – it can be anything. It could be an amazing hairstyle like Marilyn Monroe's or Salvador Dali's facial expressions (and his mustache). It's up to you.
2. You Need a Big Dream
As a result of a psychological phenomenon called the Einstellung effect, executing a familiar solution blinds us to other, more creative possibilities. But new problems present new opportunities.
A fellow graduate of Harvard Business School, Salman Khan is well-versed in turning good ideas into potential business opportunities. He states in his Edge interview:
"Instead of it just being a one-off collection of videos or a one-off software app that I tried to do as a venture-backed business, maybe [Khan Academy] could be the next Stanford, the next Harvard, this new type of institution that people haven't visualized quite yet, but it could help empower millions or billions of students for the next 500 years.
And as soon as you start thinking on those scales, you go after a bigger problem and you phrase things differently and, frankly, you inspire more people. More amazing people are going to want to be part of that audacious goal."
Confidence is alluring. People admire strong and independent people. But first, what does confidence even mean?
As Mark D. White, chair of the Department of Philosophy at the College of Staten Island/CUNY describes on Psychology Today:
"There are two ways to portray it. The first, more formal version of confidence is similar to faith: it's based on believing something you don't know with certainty. If you were aware that you possessed a certain quality, you wouldn't need confidence in it—it's only when you can't be sure that you need confidence.
The other sense of confidence, the one that's invoked in articles on dating and attractiveness, is more substantive. It's an awareness of who you are, regardless of how you compare or measure up to others. It shows people that you're comfortable with yourself, which grants you a certain poise, charm, or assertiveness. It also implies that you don't need to compete with anyone or belittle anyone else to lift yourself up; as a result, confident people are more willing to praise others because they aren't worried about making themselves look worse. All of this clearly accounts for the general attractiveness of confidence, if for no other reason than its general positivity.
The best kind of confidence is like a classical virtue: it strikes the "golden mean" between self-doubt and arrogance, allowing a person to embody his or her positive traits without bragging about them. (And in the spirit of wei wu wei, this may broadcast a person's positive traits more effectively!)"
Also, a short tip: avoid using uncertain speech form such as "I guess, I hope, maybe, etc."
4. Forget About Complaints
You can't be charismatic with a negative streak in you. To be liked by most, you need to avoid gossip, criticizing and complaining.
As Lisa Juliano, Psy.D. writes on Psychology Today:
"For chronic complainers, each situation becomes an opportunity to find fault. Eventually, this drains life of pleasure. Chronic complaining can also affect mood by producing a negative mood state. Thus the chronic complainer falls into a perpetual cycle of finding fault, feeling negative, and then being unable to face the next situation with an open mind. Eventually, the capacity for feeling joy is compromised."
Even during hard times, try to avoid topics that bring you down. Focus on what you already have and be grateful.
5. Use Body Gestures
Your body plays an important role to exhibit your level of confidence. Slouching, fumbling, avoiding eye contact can affect your personality negatively whereas smiling more often and keeping an open posture can improve your persona drastically.
There's ample evidence that eye contact is highly compelling: We're more attuned to faces whose eyes are trained on us than faces whose eyes are looking elsewhere.
Adoree Durayappah-Harrison, a graduate of three masters programs, including Buddhist practices from Harvard states:
"According to a recent study published in the January 2011 issue of Psychological Science, "posture expansiveness"—using one's posture to open up the body and occupy space—activates a sense of power in the mind, making people feel and behave as if they are in charge."
6. Become a Great Storyteller
Storytelling is a skill. If you want to learn it, you need to exude confidence.
Gregory Ciotti writes on Psychology Today:
"Philip Pullman once said: "After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world." Being a great storyteller is also useful as an Average Joe interacting with other people. Being able to communicate your ideas and stories in a clear and captivating way allows for better social interactions."
7. Don't Look Away
Eye contact is one of the surest ways to declare your undivided attention. Depending on the situation, it can be a piercing look, or a kind, understanding glance. Above everything, don't break a conversation by checking a text or looking at something else while people talk you.
Art of Manliness, one of my favorite educational websites explains it clearly:
"Making greater eye contact with others can increase the quality of all of your face-to-face interactions; there's no area of your life where being seen as more attractive, confident, and trustworthy wouldn't be a boon. Being able to look people in the eye and hold their gaze can help you better network with others, land a job, pitch an idea, make a moving speech, woo the ladies, and intimidate your enemies. It can help a lawyer win over a jury, a boxer psych out his opponent, and a minister connect with his congregants. It can even aid a musician in winning over new fans; studies have shown that the more eye contact a musician makes with his audience, the more they enjoy his music—take note ye members of struggling bands!"
Next time you talk to someone and move your eyes elsewhere, think of the statement above.
8. Learn To Listen To Others
Learn to give importance to others. Everyone has their own problem and you could make a huge difference just by listening to them. It shows that you genuinely care about them. They will really appreciate it and feel special.
Take a look at this from your point of view: do you want people jumping over your phrases just to tell their opinion, thoughts and emotions, or you want someone with whom you can fully express yourself without being interrupted?
And let's not forget, Jeff Thompson Ph.D. clearly adds another great importance of listening to others:
"According to Bernard Ferrari, author of Power Listening: Mastering the Most Critical Business Skill of All, good listening is the key to developing fresh insights and ideas that fuel success. Ferrari says that although most people focus on learning how to communicate and how to present their own views more effectively, this approach is misguided and represents missed opportunities."
9. Use the Mirror Effect
Imitation is the highest form of flattery. It makes the other person to get along with you better. It's easier to get in tune with people who have similar habits and style.
By mirroring their gestures, facial expressions and style, the interlocutor starts feeling comfortable. This is mostly effective because humans are by nature narcissistic. They're bound to admire someone who is so much like themselves!
As described on Wikipedia:
"The concept often affects other individuals' notions about the individual that is exhibiting mirroring behaviors, which can lead to the individual building rapport with others.
Mirroring can establish rapport with the individual who is being mirrored, as the similarities in nonverbal gestures allow the individual to feel more connected with the person exhibiting the mirrored behavior. As the two individuals in the situation display similar nonverbal gestures, they may believe that they share similar attitudes and ideas as well. Mirror neurons react to and cause these movements, allowing the individuals to feel a greater sense of engagement and belonging within the situation."

What if I need my dumpster in Ellenville picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in Ellenville, part of your rental agreement contains a specified duration of time you're permitted to use the container. You generally base this time on the length of time you think your project might take. The larger the project, the longer you will need the dumpster. Most dumpster rental businesses in Ellenville give you a speed for a certain number of days. Should you exceed that quantity of days, you will pay an extra fee per day. In case the project goes more rapidly than expected, you may be ended with the dumpster sooner than you anticipated.
If this really is true, give the dumpster business a call and they will likely come pick your container up early; this will enable them to rent it to someone else more instantly. You normally will not get a discount on your rate if you ask for early pick up. Your rental fee includes 7 days (or whatever your term is), whether you use them all or not.
One of the most important things to do when you are contemplating a construction or remodeling project is to plan ahead. Section of that process will probably be researching your dumpster needs for the job. Knowing ahead of time how dumpster rental in Ellenville functions will make things simpler when you start the process. You will find the majority of the overall advice you need online, but for information specific to your region, you may need to call your local company. Be sure to ask about any hidden or additional fees so you don't get stuck with a surprise bill.
One of the biggest parts of your research will be establishing the correct size container you need to rent predicated on the size of the endeavor. This may be your biggest cost, so be sure to get a size that is big enough to last for the entire job. Other problems to research first contain a potential location for the container, the type of waste that you're throwing away and the period of time you will need the dumpster.
5. Find out what services you get with your dumpster rental in Ellenville.
When you rent a dumpster in Ellenville, you're dealing with professionals who use terms associated with the construction industry and dumpsters each day. As you likely don't use these terms every day, here's a bit of the lingo to get you acclimated. This can really enable you to deal with company workers who may get impatient if you don't understand what they're explaining about their products.
"Container" and "roll-off" are both satisfactory terms for the large metal box you need to rent. Professionals do not use the term "dumpster" as much as the other terms. Containers are usually let in cubic yard sizes, but you do not have to include the "cubic" part. Merely say "yard" or "yarder." If, for instance, you wish to rent a 30-yard dumpster, you can say, "I am interested in a 30-yard roll-off" or "I'd like to rent a 30-yarder." Use these terms, and you'll seem like a professional when you call.
Depending on the size of your endeavor, you might need a small or big dumpster that could hold all the debris and remaining stuff.
The most common dumpsters comprise 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard models. In case you are in possession of a little endeavor, like clearing out a garage or cellar, you can probably reap the benefits of a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. In case you have a bigger endeavor, like a complete remodel or building a brand new house, then you will probably need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
A lot of folks decide to rent a bigger dumpster than they believe they'll want. Although renting a bigger dumpster prices more cash, it is cheaper than having to an additional dumpster after a small one gets total.
Junk removal vs dumpster rental in Ellenville - Which is right for you?
For those who own a project you are about to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it is better to hire someone to come haul off all your rubbish and crap for you, or in the event you should only rent a dumpster in Ellenville and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better alternative in the event you would like the flexibility to load it on your own time and you don't mind doing it yourself to save on labour. Dumpsters also function nicely in the event that you've at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll offs typically begin at 10 cubic yards, so should you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for much more dumpster than you need.
Trash or rubbish removal makes more sense should you would like someone else to load your old stuff. Additionally, it works nicely should you would like it to be taken away quickly so it is out of your own hair or in the event that you simply have a few big items; this is probably cheaper than renting an entire dumpster.
Picking the best dumpster for your endeavor is an important aspect of dumpster rental in Ellenville. If you pick a dumpster that's too little, you won't have enough room for your debris and waste, which means you will have to schedule additional trips. In case you choose one that's too large, you will save time, but you will squander cash.
If you call a dumpster rental business in Ellenville and describe the job for which you want a dumpster, they can urge the finest size.

A 20-yard dumpster is the best option for big dwelling clean-up projects and medium-sized renovation projects, while a 30-yard dumpster has higher walls that are ideal for a home cleanout or remodeling jobs on a big house. 40-yard dumpsters are massively big and are used just on the largest projects like new building.
Dumpster rental firms that charge flat rates in many cases are the most effective choices for contractors and home owners. When you use a business that charges a flat rate, you can anticipate at least two benefits.
Paying a flat rate usually means that you just get to prevent any hidden fees and costs. Firms that don't charge flat fees may contain additional costs for basic services like dropping off the dumpster. Keep in mind, nevertheless, that you still might have to pay extra in case you'd like to include particular items and stuff in the dumpster.
Almost all roll of dumpsters have exactly the same width (usually eight feet). This makes it feasible for businesses to utilize the same trucks to transport a wide variety of dumpsters. When you see a dumpster's measurements, therefore, you can assume that they refer to depth and length. You may even see dumpster sizes listed by yards. This actually refers to square yards that measure the dumpster's volume.
In the event you're coordinating a sizable commercial job, then you'll likely need a 40-yard dumpster or bigger. Big home renovations may require a 30-yard dumpster, but most smaller home repairs only want 20-yard or even 10-yard dumpsters. Speak with an expert should you want more advice on choosing a dumpster size that fits your job.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Ellenville?
Should you plan to clean out the whole house, then you likely need a 20-yard roll off dumpster. You could likewise use this size for a big cellar or loft clean out.
Whenever choosing a dumpster, though, it is frequently wise to request a size bigger than what you believe you will need. Unless you are a professional, it is difficult to gauge the precise size required for your project.
