Johannes Kaptain (* 29. Juni 1926 in Kreuzau; † 23. Dezember 1998) war ein deutscher Politiker (CDU), ehrenamtlicher Landrat und Abgeordneter im Landtag von Nordrhein-Westfalen.

Biografie
Kaptain begann nach der Volksschule im Jahre 1940 eine kaufmännische Lehre bei der Firma Thomas Josef Heimbach in Mariaweiler. Nach dem Ende der Lehre musste er zum Reichsarbeitsdienst und später zur Reichsmarine. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges arbeitete er als Hilfsarbeiter beim RWE. Später wurde er dort in seinem erlernten Beruf eingesetzt. Ab 1952 war er Mitglied des Betriebsrates. 1960 wurde er dort Vorsitzender. Kaptain hat fünf Kinder. Er starb nach langer und schwerer Krankheit am Tag vor Heiligabend des Jahres 1998.

Politischer Werdegang

Kaptain trat 1946 in die CDU ein. Er wurde sofort Kreissprecher der Jungen Union und sieben Jahre später deren Vorsitzender. 1963 wurde er dann Vorsitzender des Kreisverbandes der CDU. Bereits seit 1954 war er als sachkundiger Bürger im Kreistag vertreten. Im Kreistag war er als ordentliches Mitglied von 1956 bis zu seinem Tode, also 42 Jahre. 1956 wurde er Mitglied im Amtsrat seiner Heimatgemeinde Kreuzau. Ratsmitglied blieb er für 36 Jahre. Zeitweise war er auch Bürgermeister.

Kaptain wurde als Nachfolger von Anton Germscheid am 16. Oktober 1964 zum Landrat des Kreises Düren gewählt. Er wurde am 19. Oktober 1989 von Adolf Retz abgelöst. In die Amtszeit von Kaptain fiel die Zusammenfassung der Kreise Jülich und Düren zum 1. Januar 1972. Vom 10. Juli 1966 bis zum 12.

More free virus test sites opening in northern Pennsylvania
- Jun. 15, 2020 07:56 PM EDT
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf's administration said Monday that more free coronavirus drive-thru testing sites will open in Walmart parking lots across northern Pennsylvania as it seeks to expand testing to areas where there is little available.
Nine more sites will open Wednesday at Walmart parking lots in Sayre, State College, Edinboro, New Castle, Grove City, Coal Township, Selinsgrove, Lewisburg and Mansfield, the administration said. That brings the total number of free coronavirus drive-thru testing sites in Walmart parking lots to 19, it said.
The sites will be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. People seeking a test must register online a day in advance and must print out a voucher and bring it with them to the testing site.
Test results are to be emailed within a day or two, and a physician will call a patient who tested positive, the administration said.
Meanwhile, UPMC Northwest also opened a testing site in Reno, in Venango County, open Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 1-833-559-7680.
Pennsylvania officials reported 28 additional deaths and 323 new positive cases of the coronavirus.
The Health Department said Monday there have now been 6,243 total deaths from COVID-19, and more than 79,000 infections. Of those, 74% have recovered, the department said.
The number of infections is thought to be far higher than the state's confirmed case count because many people have not been tested and studies suggest people can be infected without feeling sick.
For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up in a couple of weeks. Older adults and people with existing health problems are at higher risk of more severe illness, including pneumonia, or death.
AID FOR INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED, AUTISTIC
The Wolf administration said Monday it has begun distributing $260 million in federal emergency coronavirus aid to agencies that receive Medicaid funding to provide services to more than 40,000 intellectually disabled or autistic people.
Lawmakers approved the use of the money in late May from the nearly $4 billion that the state received through the federal Cares Act.
Of that, $90 million will go to providers of residential, respite, and shift nursing services; $80 million to providers of community participation support services; and $90 million to providers of employment, companion, and transportation services.
The money must be used to offset expenses related to the virus. The agencies have through September to use the money, and must report back to the state on how it was used, state officials say.

Dutch news in brief, Tuesday 25 November 2008
Jetta Klijnsma, one of the Netherlands' first disabled ministers, arrives at parliament
New Deputy Social Affairs Minister Jetta Klijnsma smiles on the front pages of De Telegraaf and de Volkskrant Tuesday. Ms Klijnsma arrived at the Binnenhof, the home of the Dutch parliament in The Hague, Monday, perched on the back of a tandem for a meeting with Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende before she takes up her new job in December. She succeeds Ahmed Aboutaleb who is leaving to become Mayor of Rotterdam.
It's a significant appointment according to De Telegraaf, which describes Ms Klijnsma as "one of the first disabled ministers in the history of the Netherlands". She is already a well-known figure in The Hague where she served as an alderwoman for the past 10 years and gets around town on her "chauffeur-driven" tandem.
At the age of 13 Jetta Klijnsma found herself in a rehabilitation centre learning to walk again after an operation on her legs. On her website, she says seeing the determination of her fellow patients "changed her life". NRC Handelsblad describes her as "a woman of perseverance who keeps on climbing".
Perseverance and determination may help her at Social Affairs where Trouw reports that Minister Piet Hein Donner "has had to switch to crisis management after an ambitious start full of ideas for social economic change."
The paper also points out a potential challenge for the brand new Deputy Minister. She will oversee a massive merger between the country's job centres and unemployment benefit administrators.
Princess Maxima meets with the mother of a disappeared Argentinean
Princess Máxima was presented with a book Monday about Argentina's military junta using the 1978 World Cup to promote its regime under which tens of thousands of political opponents disappeared. Presenting the book was Nora Morales de Cortinas, one of the founders of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, an association that campaigns for information about the fate of their missing children. Around her neck she wore a photograph of her son Carlos Gustavo, who disappeared in the 1970s at the age of 24.
Princess Máxima's father served as a deputy minister under the regime, a connection that threatened to stand in the way of her marriage to Prince Willem-Alexander, the eldest son of Queen Beatrix and next in line to succeed her.
De Telegraaf says the mother was "happy with Princess Máxima's words" and thought the princess was "brave" to agree to meet her. AD says Mrs De Cortinas harbours no negative feelings towards the princess. "We make a distinction between the daughter and her father. The fact that she has accepted this book is important for the history of her country," she says.
Mrs De Cortinas also asked the princess to do what she could to get the Netherlands to sign a UN treaty against enforced disappearances. "It was a bold request", she admits. "I know she's not allowed to get involved in politics, but I think it's strange that Argentina has already signed the treaty yet the Netherlands hasn't."
The Argentinean mother was accompanied on her visit by a member of Argentina's legendary 1978 football squad, which went on to win the World Cup in a final match against the Dutch team, striker Leopoldo Luque. He later admitted to De Telegraaf, "I was more nervous than when I got to meet the Pope together with the rest of the World Cup team!"
Most criminal organisations are linked to legal companies
Trouw reports that "any criminal worth their salt can't really do without their own business". The paper reveals that "at least three quarters of the criminal organisations in the Netherlands have access to a legal company through one of its members."
Around 600 members of criminal organisations are registered with the Chamber of Commerce under their own names and probably many more under aliases.
Police are focusing attention on the business world in an attempt to catch the criminals. But the Chamber of Commerce says the police's desire for stricter checks is "understandable but not realistic. We don't have the authority or the resources to check for criminal activities."
The police also expect help from local authorities, who do have the power to withhold business permits if there is a suspicion that a company has links with the underworld.
TV programmes seek to attract audiences
De Volkskrant reports on a website survey to find the TV programme that is kindest to its studio audience. At late night talk show Pauw & Witteman lucky audience members mingle with the hosts, while on panel show Ranking the Stars they are treated to all the sandwiches and fruit they can eat.
The laws of supply and demand currently seem to favour the audiences. There's such a big demand for studio audiences in Hilversum, the heart of Dutch TV production, that extreme measures are sometimes called for.
The production team at one daytime show recalls rearranging the furniture when only five audience members arrived. Another admits running to the nearest supermarket and gathering anyone he could find to fill seats.
"Free drinks, a warm welcome, clean toilets, comfortable chairs and an interesting programme" are they best way to draw an audience, says the survey.

I would just like to take a moment to congratulate for KXNT Las Vegas program director Jack Landreth on his new gig as the program director at the top rated news/talk station in Kansas City, Missouri, KMBZ.
I discovered KXNT during Jack's time as PD, around the time that he led the station to the top of the Las Vegas radio ratings. And by top, I don't just mean top of the news/talk ratings, I mean #1 station overall. It was the first time in 30 years that an AM station had won the ratings in Las Vegas. KXNT also demolished the other news/talk station in the market during Jack's time at the helm and, despite some extra competition when KDWN decided to put a delayed version of Glenn Beck up against Rush Limbaugh's live show on KXNT, the station continued to dominate other stations in the genre, with their local programming consistently performing well and regularly breaking local stories.
It was a good time in KXNT's history. Unfortunately the station has lost a lot of ground since Jack's departure and is now ranked 22nd in the Vegas ratings. It still leads the news/talk ratings, but not by the huge margin that it once did.
Jack's new station, KMBZ, leads the news/talk stations in the market with more than double the ratings of its nearest rival, but has shed a significant number of listeners in recent months. Congratulations and good luck Jack. I'm sure that Kansas City will benefit greatly from your work.
Since I last wrote about this a few days ago, it has come to light that one of Julia Gillard's own staff tipped off a union official who then tipped off the protesters about the location of Tony Abbott. Julia Gillard's press minions also perpetuated the myth about Tony Abbott calling for the demolition of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.
The more this unravels, and the more the unions are found the be involved, and the more we see of Julia's people perpetuating untruths about Tony Abbott, the more this all looks orchestrated to get the left-wing of the Labor party and the left-wing of the public-at-large back on side. It is really starting to look like the whole thing was designed to make Julia Gillard look like the hero of the left, and some sort of uniting figure between black and white Australians against a mythical divisive Tony Abbott.
It has backfired badly and could cost Julia Gillard and her government dearly. Today we see that Andrew Wilkie, who already had the Gillard government in his bad books after they stabbed him in the back on poker machine reform, is ready to not just withdraw support for the government, but also support a no-confidence motion in the government, and today's Galaxy poll couldn't have come at a worse time for Julia Gillard as it will surely make a few people in the Labor Party think very carefully about attempting to kill off the whole scandal right now by dumping Julia Gillard in favour of the allegedly more popular Kevin Rudd. They could do that…but would have to eat the "we know he was bad, but we didn't expect her to be worse" humble pie that would go with it.
Either way, surely this government is toast and is, just like NSW Labor did before the last election, going through the motions until they get kicked out of office in a landslide. One can only hope that, in such a holding pattern, they're not going to change leaders like they're going out of fashion. That was a spectacle which will hopefully never be repeated by any government ever again.

The Researchers
The Curators
The Neighborhoods
What defines democratic life as it actually exists for race-class subjugated communities? How do they relate their experiences with legal authorities to ideals of fairness, justice, and equality? How do they contest and reframe how we understand American Democracy?
Ferguson, Baltimore, and Chicago, and the surge of collective protests to police violence across the country highlighted the stark contrasts between formal legal empowerment and right to be free from state interference and the daily, lived experience of citizens in poor communities.
Despite the transformation of policing and rising prevalence of encounters with the justice system, current research is ill-suited to help us understand how the Michael Browns of America come to experience the police and state authority more broadly. This important work requires a better way to measure these dynamics across communities. And it requires that we center the voices of the unfree. That we listen. Our Portals Policing Project aims to do just that.
The central purpose of this project is to describe and analyze democracy from the ground up.
Portals are a global public art initiative created by Shared_Studios and Amar Bakshi, the organization's founder. By transforming a container meant to ship goods to a space for exchanging ideas, he created an immersive space to connect people across the globe. Upon entering a Portal, you'll come face-to-face with someone in a distant Portal as though you were in the same room.
After encountering Bakshi's work, we saw the possibility of the Portals to transform both what we know and how we go about knowing it. Specifically, Portals increased the capacity of geographically distant people and communities to define their narratives and create connected political spaces.
Soon, we embarked on a US-based version of Portals to create a "wormhole" in highly policed communities.In the spring of 2016, we piloted the Portals Policing Project between Milwaukee's Amani neighborhood and Newark's Lincoln Park and Military Park. By the spring of 2018, the Project had touched 14 different neighborhoods and 6 different cities—Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Newark, and Mexico City.
I swear I had none of this before Portals, I can speak now, I used to always be ashamed of what I thought, you know, how I spoke, how I walk, what my swag was, like that what I say about the Portal, the Portal kinda took that away from me, it strips you away of all those negative thoughts about yourself, you know, people just view you as yourself, and ain't have to be nobody else 'cause people relate to that. Other than that, man, I just love my life right now, I wouldn't change it for the world, I'm not rich or anything, but I'm rich in connections, in resources, I'm rich in friendships, so that's better than money, you know?
Lewis Lee, Milwaukee and Chicago Curator
The process is powerful in its simplicity.
Each Portal is staffed by a Curator: a member of the community who does outreach and describes the study. Portals are first and foremost a community gathering spot, space for art and performance, and interesting place for all kinds of discussions and collaborations in addition to discussions of policing. Curators hold many informal "pop up" initiatives on the days and times that conversations were not being recorded for our study: poetry slams, running a barbershop, chess tournaments, having community discussions with civic leaders, or dialoguing with global Portals. Learn more about our Curators here.
Participants enter the Portal typically after wandering in out of curiosity or word of mouth. They are connected by life-size video and speak for 20-minutes with someone else that they do not know in a paired city. They also fill out a basic iPad survey consisting of 12 brief questions about their background, including experiences with police and crime victimization.
As the individuals speak to one another, their conversation is not guided or moderated by a researcher. Instead, Portal participants are given a single prompt to discuss police. Through open-ended, free-wheeling conversations, participants can say what they think in their own terms in a way that they couldn't in most surveys. They're then invited to reflect on their experience in a Gold Book.
We captured a broad swath of Americans, policing regimes, neighborhood and political contexts. Mothers, former gang members, activists, students, retirees, those experiencing homelessness, those who recently exited prison, and young adults.
After collecting the Portals dialogues and transcribing them, our research team worked together to code and analyze Portals transcripts and surveys. In addition to coding, we conducted site visits, interviewed Portals Curators, and researched neighborhoods and local policing regimes. By doing so, we learned that:
Policing is central to the ways in which race-class subjugated communities understand and participate in politics. Despite complexity, disagreement, and people spanning various backgrounds, the narratives tell a new story about race-class citizenship in America, sharpening our attention to problems in our democracy. We've also gleaned insights about the justice system previously overlooked by traditional methods for mining public opinion.
We can learn by activating political connections. Through this project we've observed how Portals in marginalized communities became more than a medium for research, it became a platform for building power; it activated bottom-led projects for justice, new visions, and new political consciousness. We not only hear democracy from the ground up, we facilitate it as well.

Smart meters for Independence utilities are now in a holding pattern.
A City Council majority voted Monday to postpone the contract with Core & Main to install Advanced Metering Infrastructure – or AMI, popularly known as smart meters – pending the outcome of a citizen petition to thwart that action.
A council majority had voted 4-3 last week to go with the Core & Main contract for smart meters – the revote had not been on the agenda and was brought up at the meeting – reversing 5-2 decisions from the week before that turned down contracts from Core & Main and Honeywell. The ensuing outrage from citizens opposed to digital smart meters in general, upset about how the vote took place, or both, led to an initiative petition taken out Friday.
Citizens have until May 6 to gather valid signatures from the 5 percent of the city's registered voters – well above 3,000 – to hopefully put something on the August ballot for voters to decide whether or not to proceed.
Council Member Tom Van Camp, who introduced the resolution to put things on hold, voted yes along with Mike Huff, John Perkins and Mayor Eileen Weir. Curt Dougherty and Scott Roberson noted no, and Karen DeLuccie abstained.
Van Camp, Huff and DeLuccie, the three no votes last week, had delivered a letter to Weir requesting the same action.
Weir, Perkins, Dougherty and Roberson voted for the Core & Main contract last week. Roberson and Weir had voted for Core & Main two weeks ago; Dougherty had voted for Honeywell then but brought up the re-vote after discussing the matter with Roberson; and Perkins said he went with Core & Main after giving the matter further scrutiny.
In making the motion, Van Camp said he believed it would be "unfair to the vendor, the staff and especially the people" to proceed with the smart-meter contract pending the petition's outcome.
City Manager Zach Walker confirmed the city would not finalize the Core & Main contract at least until after May 6.
"We were working on updating the contract anyways, making modifications, and we may be able to prepare some things and just not sign it," he said.
DeLuccie's abstention came after some Q&A with City Counselor Shannon Marcano about whether last week's vote had been valid. Marcano said it was allowed under the council's rules and procedures that the council votes on and are not covered in the City Charter. While DeLuccie agreed with the motion, she said later she wasn't going to vote on an item that, like last week, had not been on the agenda.
The vote took place at the end of a study session, in which the council heard several sales tax oversight reports and the results of an evaluation of options to replace Blue Valley as a power source. Normally a sparsely attended meeting, the citizens instead packed the council chambers Monday, several of them holding various signs against smart meters and last week's vote.
Citizen Brenda J. Perry was one of a handful who also help up a sandal – something she said people were encouraged to do to symbolize the "flip-flop" vote by some council members. Citizen Lucy Young also briefly left 30 coins at Roberson's spot at the dais. Outside some citizens collected signatures on the petitions against AMI and to recall Mayor Weir – the latter of which also started Friday.
"That's their right, and they got a petition," Weir said about the recall effort, which requires 8 percent under the same circumstances as the ballot initiative petition.
Looming along with the smart meter controversy is how to replace Blue Valley's power capacity and presumably close the aging and inefficient plant, as well as the cost of service and electric rate studies.
Walker said the cost-of-service study, which had been scheduled for completion late last year along with the energy master plan, should come before the Public Utilities Advisory Board and then the City Council in the next two months. The rate study would follow a few months after that.

Hoffa demanded angrily. " "Depends how you look at it, doesn't it, old man? " He leaned across the opened the door. " A moment later Hoffa found himself standing at the side of the road a bewildered frown on his face, the Zodiac a fast-dwindling noise in the distance. It was quiet after a while, the only sound the wind whispering through the long grass and a cloud passed across the face of the sun so that suddenly it was cold and he shivered. There was a desperate air of unreality to everything and the events of the afternoon seemed to form part of some privileged nightmare.
Now don't start that sort of nonsense, old man. The Baron can't stand welshers. We've kept our part of the bargain-we've got you out.

"You don't look too good. " The driver nodded, wiping blood from his face with the back of a hand and together, they moved-into the gatehouse.

Merav Michaeli (Hebrew: מֵרַב מִיכָאֵלִי; born 24 November 1966) is an Israeli politician, journalist, TV anchor, radio broadcaster, feminist, and activist. She is currently the leader of the Israeli Labor Party and the Minister of Transport and Road Safety in the thirty-sixth government of Israel.
Michaeli was born in Petah Tikva[1] to Ami Michaeli and Suzan Kastner, of Hungarian Jewish background. She is the granddaughter of Rudolf Kastner[2] and also of Nehemia Michaeli who was the last secretary of the Mapam party.[3]
In her youth, Michaeli served as leader in the Israeli Scouts.[4] In the IDF, Michaeli was a newscaster on the Army Radio. She helped establish Galgalatz and Radio Tel Aviv radio stations and would also lead Hebrew television programs focused on politics.[5] She was a journalist and opinion columnist for the Haaretz newspaper. She also taught university classes and lectured extensively on the topics of feminism, media, and communications. In September 2012, she spoke at TEDxJaffa on the theme of "paradigm shift", in which she argued that society should "cancel marriage".[6]
In October 2012 Michaeli announced that she was joining the Labor Party, and intended to run for inclusion on Labor's list for the 2013 Knesset elections.[7] On 29 November 2012 she won fifth place on the Labor Party's list,[8] and was elected to the Knesset when Labor won 15 seats.[9]
In preparation for the 2015 general election the Labor and Hatnuah parties formed the Zionist Union alliance. Michaeli won the ninth slot on the Zionist Union list, and was elected to the Knesset as it won 24 seats.[10][11] Shortly before the end of the Knesset term, the Zionist Union was dissolved, with Labor and Hatnuah sitting in the Knesset as separate parties. Michaeli was placed seventh on the Labor list for the April 2019 elections, but lost her seat as Labor was reduced to six seats. However, she returned to the Knesset in August 2019 after Stav Shaffir resigned from the legislature.[12] On 22 April 2020 after the 2020 Israeli legislative election the then Labor party leader Amir Peretz announced that the Labor Party would join the unity government in the Netanyahu-Gantz coalition, but Michaeli rejected sitting in the coalition under Netanyahu.[13]
She was elected to lead the Israeli Labor Party on 24 January 2021 after her predecessor, Amir Peretz, announced he would not stand for re-election.[14] In the March 23rd, 2021 election, the Israeli Labor Party was granted 7 seats, and, during the parliamentary negotiation phase, put their trust in Yair Lapid to form the government. On 13 June 2021, the 36th Israeli government was sworn in, and with it Michaeli as Minister of Transport and Road safety. On 31 December 2021 she announced that the Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv would be closed within 4 years, breaking her promise to close it immediately. She gave in to the mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai, who has no intention of closing the Central Bus Station .
Her partner is the television producer, host and comedian Lior Schleien.[15] In August 2021, Merav and Schleien's son was born in the United States by surrogate pregnancy.[16]

Scott to expand playing schedule in 2018
By Inside Golf on November 30, 2017

Adam Scott has made no secret of his limited playing schedule this past season but as the year comes to a close, the former World Number 1 revealed a return to more tournament golf may be on the cards in 2018.
On the Gold Coast for the 2017 Australian PGA Championship, Scott discussed how his priorities shifted this year.
Scott and his wife Marie welcomed their second child, Byron, into the family which has seen life outside of the ropes take priority this year.
"It's been a fantastic year for me. A very exciting last few months with my family and having a new baby and all the good things that come with that," Scott said.
"I guess that's been the focus of the year for me really. It was a lot of planning around that."
The 2013 Masters champion admitted to a scaling back time spent practicing due to his life changing away from golf.
"It was probably just the less practice this year. You know, the priorities just had to shift a little bit. I traveled a lot more and practiced a bit less and they were the challenges.
"You know, the first half of the year I played okay but didn't get much out of it, and then since the U.S. PGA, the focus hasn't been on the golf at all and that shows up when you're going to play in world class fields, there's no doubt."
The 37-year-old has reached a point in his career where he can take valuable lessons from the outcomes of his schedule change and will now look to resume a familiar routine in the 2018 season.
"It's good for me to see that because it's very clear for me going back next year exactly what I need to do to remind myself what I've done for the past five or six years to play at the level that these guys at the top are playing at," added Scott.
"I really look forward to getting back into those kinds of routines that I've been in over the past few years that have produced great golf
"But of course it's difficult not to be frustrated. If I'm going out to play, I want to play really well. But I also have taken a bit of a realistic attitude that back half of the year that I haven't prepared as well as I normally would like."
Renowned for his meticulous preparations to a tournament, Scott has stated he'll need to look for a more balanced approach as his schedule builds in 2018.
"I pride myself on being really prepared to play, but I'm learning as my career and life evolves and changes that I have to kind of temper that.
"I think I'm going to have to learn to switch on and off a little bit more in the future. I've got little notes about different things like that to think about for the future."
This year Scott played the week before each major and found some benefits to his game, but will still endeavor to play more tournaments now things have settled with his family.
"I played the weeks before majors this year, which I actually think worked quite nicely to play my way into a bit of shape. I'll probably go back to playing a more similar schedule to what I've played in the past.
"But given that the circumstances will be different again next year, I think I'll go back to what I used to do and probably get back more into my practice and preparation plans to focus obviously on playing great those four weeks of the year.
"So my schedule starts somewhere in February on the U.S. Tour on the west coast like it usually does, play a few events and try and play myself into form quickly."

Q: TypeScript filter tuple type by an arbitrary type How would I go about generating a new tuple type by filtering a provided tuple type by an arbitrary type within the provided tuple?
Example (Playground):
type Journey = ["don't", 'stop', 'believing'];

type ExcludeFromTuple<T extends unknown[], E> = ????;

type DepressingJourney = ExcludeFromTuple<Journey, "don't">; // type should be ['stop', 'believing']

Note that the solution doesn't need to ensure that type E exists in type T before hand, it just need to remove it if it does.
Although the example is simple here, I have a more complicated use case where I want to be able to filter out by an arbitrary type defined by a consumer of the library I am writing.
Although TypeScript natively supports the exclude type, it only works on union types, and I have been unable to find an equivalent for tuples.
A type like ExcludeFromTuple would be extremely useful for generating other utility types.
type RemoveStringsFromTuple<T extends unknown[]> = ExcludeFromTuple<T, string>;
type RemoveNumbersFromTuple<T extends unknown[]> = ExcludeFromTuple<T, number>;
type RemoveNeversFromTuple<T extends unknown[]> = ExcludeFromTuple<T, never>;
type RemoveUndefinedsFromTuple<T extends unknown[]> = ExcludeFromTuple<T, undefined>;

I have a feeling the type would need to leverage a combination of TypeScript 2.8's conditional types,
TypeScript 3.1's mapped types on tuples, and some type of recursive type magic, but I haven't been able figure it out nor find anyone who has.

A: Update for TS 4.1+:
With variadic tuple types introduced in TS 4.0, and recursive conditional types introduced in TS4.1, you can now write ExcludeFromTuple more simply as:
type ExcludeFromTuple<T extends readonly any[], E> =
    T extends [infer F, ...infer R] ? [F] extends [E] ? ExcludeFromTuple<R, E> :
    [F, ...ExcludeFromTuple<R, E>] : []

You can verify that this works as desired:
type DepressingJourney = ExcludeFromTuple<Journey, "don't">;
// type should be ['stop', 'believing']

type SlicedPi = ExcludeFromTuple<[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 9, 7, 9], 1 | 9>
// type SlicedPi = [3, 4, 5, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 7]

Playground link to code

Pre TS-4.1 answer:
Yuck, this is something that really needs recursive conditional types which are not supported in TypeScript yet.  If you want to use them you do so at your own risk.  Usually I'd rather write a type that should be recursive and then unroll it into a fixed depth.  So instead of type F<X> = ...F<X>..., I write type F<X> = ...F0<X>...; type F0<X> = ...F1<X>...;.
To write this I'd want to use basic "list processing" types for tuples, namely Cons<H, T> to prepend a type H onto a tuple T; Head<T> to get the first element of a tuple T, and Tail<T> to get the tuple T with the first element removed.  You can define those like this:
type Cons<H, T> = T extends readonly any[] ? ((h: H, ...t: T) => void) extends ((...r: infer R) => void) ? R : never : never;
type Tail<T extends readonly any[]> = ((...t: T) => void) extends ((h: any, ...r: infer R) => void) ? R : never;
type Head<T extends readonly any[]> = T[0];

Then the recursive type would look something like this:
/* type ExcludeFromTupleRecursive<T extends readonly any[], E> =
     T["length"] extends 0 ? [] :
     ExcludeFromTupleRecursive<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ?
     Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never; */

The idea is: take the tail of the tuple T and perform ExcludeFromTupleRecursive on it. That's the recursion.  Then, to the result, you should prepend the head of the tuple if and only if it doesn't match E.
But that's illegally circular, so I unroll it like this:
type ExcludeFromTuple<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X0<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X0<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X1<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X1<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X2<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X2<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X3<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X3<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X4<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X4<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X5<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X5<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X6<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X6<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X7<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X7<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X8<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X8<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : X9<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type X9<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : XA<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type XA<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : XB<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type XB<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : XC<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type XC<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : XD<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type XD<T extends readonly any[], E> = T["length"] extends 0 ? [] : XE<Tail<T>, E> extends infer X ? Head<T> extends E ? X : Cons<Head<T>, X> : never;
type XE<T extends readonly any[], E> = T; // bail out

Having fun yet?  Let's see if it works:
type DepressingJourney = ExcludeFromTuple<Journey, "don't">;
// type should be ['stop', 'believing']

type SlicedPi = ExcludeFromTuple<[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 9, 7, 9], 1 | 9>
// type SlicedPi = [3, 4, 5, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 7]

Looks good to me.

Bollywood singer Mika Singh will be produced before a Dubai court later today, Indian Ambassador to United Arab Emirates (UAE) Navdeep Singh Suri told ANI.
This is not the first time that the 41-year-old singer has faced charges for inappropriate behaviour. Way back in the year 2006, Rakhi Sawant had accused the singer of forcibly kissing her.


A couple of days ago I have watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and to be honest I was a bit disappointed with it, so I have been going through my Indiana Jones games again (not really playing them, just have a look again).
Way back when it was announced there would be a new Indiana Jones game after the legendary Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis called Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (I did not know about the canceled Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix and Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny), I was really hoping for a new mouse driven adventure.
Much to my disappointment I later learned that it was more a game similar to Tomb Raider which main character tried to usurper the position of archaeologist-action adventurer from the man with the hat.
Still Hal Barwood, the man who also designed Fate of Atlantis was working on Infernal Machine so there was some hope.
Despite it being a complete different genre game I still enjoyed Infernal Machine.
Are there other people who also liked playing it here on the forum?
Yeah, I have it for the original Xbox and really enjoyed playing it. I'm a big fan of the original Tomb Raider so was happy with it being a similar style. I also like the Prince of Persia games so I was bound to enjoy it.
Still, none of them are as good as the first Tomb Raider game in my view. I was hooked on that and played it every night until I eventually completed it.
I played it to the end, and I'm ususally a strict point'n'click man. I really enjoyed it. Apart from the bit where you finally get to lift the bell in the Tibetan Monastery and what's underneath? A freak dwarf monk. Had he been waiting under there for me for the last 400 years or what??
Monk during all that time "He'll be coming now, I just know it, any minute now he will lift this bell from me."
He only said that the once, he spent the rest of the time listening to the echo.

Računovodski standardi so izpeljava računovodskih načel o metodah zajemanja in obdelovanja računovodskih podatkov, oblikovanja računovodskih informacij ter predstavljanja in shranjevanja računovodskih podatkov in informacij. V Sloveniji obstajajo od pomladi leta 1993 dalje Slovenski računovodski standardi (SRS), ki jih je v začetku sprejela Zveza računovodij, finančnikov in revizorjev Slovenije, sedaj pa je za njihovo oblikovanje in sprejemanje pooblaščen Slovenski inštitut za revizijo, ki pa mora skrbeti, da so domači računovodski standardi usklajeni z nenehnim razvojem mednarodnih računovodskih standardov in smernic Evropske Unije.

In response to the earlier discussion, I feel like the balance between readability and stylishness has been solid, though it's hard to tell if it would be an issue without playing the game.
I really like the contrast between the day and night stages. Would these be separate levels or would an individual level cycle between them?
Thanks! I was thinking it would be a bit of both. Similar to Mario World or Yoshi's Island where you might be underground for part of the stage and when you come back to the surface it's a different time of day or a different background. I might test the palette change during a stage idea at some point and use that for some stages as well.
And yeah I think the readability can always be tweaked at some point if it continues to be an issue.
Here's a few different ideas I've been trying out.
The backgrounds on these are the unaltered version of the background from the previous post so they're a bit dirty at the moment. I'd probably tweak the wood platforms to look a bit more natural too if I decide to use these.
This foggy white background one is heavily inspired by super mario land. The little clouds should look nice in motion with the different parallax speeds. I'll probably try to animate the mockups from the previous couple posts next.
Your artwork and choice of colors is great! I look forward to see/experience how the gameplay is. I also liked the visuals of Seas of Saturn. What are you planning to do for music?
I love the look of this project so far. As others have said, the parallax effects really shine. I love the art style, too. Keep up the good work!
verdog - Thanks! I really like how that one turned out, here it is in motion.
sidbarnhoorn - I have a short demo track for now. I'd like to get something like the music from Bonk's Adventure or like the cave theme or the title screen theme from Yoshi's Island. I've been sick for a while so I'm sticking to just making art for now but eventually when things turn around I'll look into music and the physics a bit more. Glad to hear you're liking the looks of this and seas of saturn, thanks!
andyfromiowa - Thank you! Hopefully I'll be able to add more layers to the parallax at some point.

Q: Run scala code on android devices I'm trying to port Apache Flink to Android. This framework is partially written in Scala and during the execution of the word count example, an exception is thrown (with many others that I'll not post) as:

With the exceptions it seems that the Android device cannot run scala code (correct me if I'm wrong).
I've found many post about Android and Scala, but they seem more about write scala in Android applications to make the code simpler and shorter.
I've found this question about the topic but isn't helpful.
So the question is: how to run scala code on Android devices? Or alternatively: can Android run Scala code?

A: Scala programs require the Scala runtime library. You need to include that jar file in your application.
This is not specific to Android, but applies to desktop Java as well.


Okay so we do know that the Samsung Galaxy S III is soon going to be the fastest selling smartphone ever as the company expects to cross the '10 million mark' by next month. We did hear that the pre-order numbers for the S III already crossed the 9 million mark, but the 10 million mark is the cumulative sales figure.
Now a report from Reuters states that Samsung could have reached the mark much earlier, if it had rightly sensed and not underestimated the demand for the Galaxy S III, which could have cost the company about 2 million devices, in numbers at the time of launch.
If Samsung could have handled the demand rightly, the numbers would have been more. But the underestimation of the devices needed at the time of launch and also the manufacturing error with the Pebble Blue S III has indeed cost the company a lot.
Samsung might have been caught off guard by the demand, not because they did not believe in their own products, but because they might have over-estimated the competition.
The launch of the Galaxy S III was a perfect one, with only the HTC One X being the potential competitor and no smartphones being launched from Motorola and LG. Also the launch of the next-gen iPhone from Apple is also a few months away which has also served in the favour of Samsung to grab as many buyers as possible.
But once the sixth generation of iPhone launches, Samsung's sales would surely see a downfall but should not affect the company much as most of the demand would have been already met by the Korean giant.

At the end of every year, CKHS students sign up for advanced placement classes (AP classes) for different reasons, and as each student enters an AP class, each student has their own opinion and first impressions of the class. The classes interest students for many reasons: like the subject, the college credit they could get, or a combination of other reasons.
This year, Senior Anna Moore is taking AP Government and AP Computer Science. She says that her first impressions of the classes were "a lot of work but also a lot of fun." Moore also adds that "Fisher and Booth are very engaging and make it easy and fun to learn." She explains that she takes these classes because of her passion for government and politics and because she wants to do something related to computer science as a career. Due to the fact that these classes are advanced, the pace and workload will be strikingly different in comparison to a normal class.

Marge taxikářkou (v anglickém originále ) je 14. díl 26. řady (celkem 566.) amerického animovaného seriálu Simpsonovi. Scénář napsal Marc Wilmore a díl režíroval Michael Polcino. V USA měl premiéru dne 15. února 2015 na stanici Fox Broadcasting Company a v Česku byl poprvé vysílán 1. září 2015 na stanici Prima Cool.

Děj
Po parodii sitcomu The Jetsons ve snu je Homer probuzen Marge, aby odvezl děti na všechny jejich aktivity. Aby se tomuto úkolu vyhnul, uteče Homer k Vočkovi a předstírá, že opije se tak, aby nemohl řídit. Kvůli tomu je Marge nucena vozit děti na jejich aktivity sama.

V hospodě Vočko řekne Homerovi, Lennymu a Carlovi, že dostal od Mela lístky na divadelní představení Laney Fontainové. Muži Vočka povzbuzují, aby na něj šel, i když se obává o bezpečnost baru, zatímco bude pryč. Na to Homer souhlasí, že bude na noc dělat barmana místo Vočka. Homer, Lenny a Carl vymyslí plán, jak získat peníze pro bar tím, že tam uspořádají dámskou jízdu, protože to přiláká muže, aby viděli ženy, a tak si koupili pivo. Plán se však zvrtne, protože do baru nevstoupí žádný muž, a aby toho nebylo málo, ženy obrátí bar vzhůru nohama. Po představení se Vočko s Laney Fontainovou vrací do baru, jenž je již zničený. Laney Vočka opustí a chlapi se mu omluví tím, že mu nabídnou práci v jaderné elektrárně. Pan Burns nabídne Vočkovi práci údržbáře, brzy ho však povýší na vedoucího sektoru 7G poté, co zabrání snaze NRC elektrárnu zavřít. Vočko brzy rozzlobí Homera a ostatní chlapy, když se k nim chová jako "blbec" (přičemž jen dělá svou práci), což vede k tomu, že se ho všichni tři zřeknou jako svého přítele.

Mezitím Marge po splnění úkolu odvézt děti na jejich aktivity narazí na řidiče firmy na pronájem vozidel, který ji pobídne, aby se přidala. Marge rychle souhlasí v naději, že si za výdělek koupí výrobník ledu do kuchyňské ledničky. Práce ji ale rychle začne nudit kvůli vození obyvatel Springfieldu (například Nelsona Muntze, školníka Willieho, Lennyho, doktora Nicka, Gila Gundersona a dalších). Podaří se jí také přitáhnout nenávist taxikářů. Zatímco veze Vočka do jeho hospody, Marge mu řekne, aby dal výpověď a že ona dá zároveň výpověď taktéž. Jakmile dorazí k baru, taxikáři se pokusí Marge zabít, ale zastaví je Vočko, který jim vyhrožuje, že je všechny zabije brokovnicí, jíž má za barem.

Přijetí
Epizodu sledovalo 2,67 milionu diváků, čímž se stala nejsledovanějším pořadem stanice Fox té noci.

Dennis Perkins z The A.V. Clubu oznámkoval epizodu písmenem B: "Výkony jdou v Simpsonových na dračku, čtvrtstoletí vztahu herců k jejich postavám jim pomáhá dotvářet představení s odstíny, které žádný jiný seriál nemůže použít. Díl je sice stejně nesoustředěný jako mnoho pozdějších epizod a částečně založený na zapomenutelném popovém výstřelku, přesto je zábavný, a to hlavně díky výkonu Hanka Azarii v roli všemi nejméně oblíbeného barmana Vočka.".

Tress MacNeilleová byla za roli v této epizodě nominována na cenu za vynikající hlasový výkon postavy na 67. ročníku Primetime Emmy Awards, byla tak jednou ze tří dabérů Simpsonových, kteří byli nominováni. Byla to její první nominace v této kategorii.

Report: 40,000 Windows Phones sold in US on first day
By Nick Eaton on November 10, 2010 at 2:35 PM
An anemic 40,000 Windows Phone 7 devices were sold in the U.S. on Microsoft's launch day, Monday, according to TheStreet, citing an anonymous market researcher.
Compare that to Google's recent report that 200,000 Android phones are activated each day, and to Apple's claim that 270,000 first-generation iPhones were sold in the first 30 hours back in June 2007. Is Windows Phone 7 stillborn?
"It just seems to me it's a little too early," IDC analyst Will Stofega told seattlepi.com. "When the dust settles, I think we'll see a pick-up."
Worldwide sales numbers, including Europe and Asia-Pacific, have been respectable, he said. Meanwhile, there have been Windows Phone 7 handset shortages as manufactures, short on components, try to keep up with demand. And plenty of folks in the U.S. have noted that AT&T and T-Mobile stores sold out of Windows Phones quickly due to devices shortages.
Especially in the United States, the big test will be the holiday shopping season. And TheStreet noted that Mondays aren't the best of launch days — Fridays and Saturdays are.

The iPhone 1G launch came when there were no contenders; it was the first commercial smart-phone blockbuster. And you can't forget about the unmatched influence of Apple's marketing machine, Stofega said.
"Everyone wants to rival what Apple does," he said, "and (people think) if you won't rival what Apple does, you're done. But Apple is a different thing."
And sure, today 200,000 Android phones may be activated each day. But remember the September 2008 launch of the HTC G1 on T-Mobile? It was pretty quiet, but now Android runs on 25.5 percent of new phones.
"That's a benchmark, that's true," Stofega said of the 200,000 figure. "But it took Android a while for that growth."
I wouldn't take too much stock in that 40,000 number — you never know where it came from. And if it is accurate, it doesn't mean much. Monday was one day; there are many, many more to go.
Update: Thought I should note that TheStreet's source did not include any of the 80,000-plus Microsoft employees who are eligible to get a free Windows Phone through the company's reimbursement program.

I dined as a guest of Remi Food & Wine Bar. Tucked away in the sleek ground floor of 14 Moore Street, Remi has recently come under new management and offers a great value menu breakfast. I chose a comfort food favourite, shakshuka ($14) and a glass of fresh orange juice ($6), made from oranges from Leeton NSW. The juice was served with ice in a large glass, and the shakshuka was nicely presented on a wooden board with a huge pile of sourdough. I was surprised at the generous three eggs included in the dish and only one of the three had just gone past the point of being poached; the other two oozed perfectly into the tomato sauce. The dish itself was full of spinach and tomato, and whilst I would have liked a greater kick of heat, there was great depth of flavour and the sauce was well seasoned. The sourdough was excellent quality and again, I was surprised by how much was included. The service was friendly and prompt, leaving me with the impression of a good, mid-range breakfast venue doing simple classics well.
Adelaide is definitely going through a burger phase, and personally, I hope it's here to stay. The latest addition to the burger scene is Burganomix, offering classic, fresh burgers the way I remember them from my childhood. I ordered the Nomix ($16), basically the burger with the lot – patty, mayo, beetroot, fried egg, tomato, lettuce, pineapple, pancetta, onion, pickles (seriously, as if the beetroot and pineapple wasn't enough of my favourite things on burgers) and chutney. Phew. Served on a cradboard tray with a small handful of fries, the burger was huge – both hands required! This is what burgers used to be like, packed full of fresh ingredients to the point where it's hard to eat without making a mess. The patty was thin, but nicely herbed, and somehow all the fillings went together. Ok, she's not the most sophisticated dame at the ball, but damn that burger was delicious. And the fries were perfect – soft inside, crispy outside. Don't forget to say hi to Jack, the friendly proprietor, who takes the time to chat to all his customers. Yep, everything here is good and old-fashioned, just the way I like it.

Madrid: A challenge begins
By christopherbadman, June 22, 2013
Welcome to Spain. First stop, Madrid. The capital, ideally located smack bang in the center of the country built on the Rio Manzanares. The country of Spain, whilst bordering France, does not manage it's train networks in accordance with the French network and so a flight is taken instead. The transit from Marseille to Madrid is rapid and simple – as the flight is inter-European, there are no pesky customs to pass through.
There are loads of nerves when first stepping into the airport and onwards into the country. No research had been done about Spain, about it's traditions and customs. Knowledge of the language was limited to hello, goodbye and thank you.
Truth be told, the only reason the journey was made is because a Canadian friend of mine, Véronique, was about to commence some studies in the country so it was a good opportunity to see each other again. There was an intention to visit Spain at some stage of the European journey and, having been in Montpellier that morning, there was not that far to go.
Stepping out of the airport the metro system of Madrid was the first thing to master. Signs pointed the way clearly all the way from the terminal to the associated metro station. Makes sense and was very easy to understand. English was present in the airport as subtitles to the Spanish larger font. Also makes sense. No complaints so far.
A quick trip to the conveniently located transport information office just before the metro and I encountered a very friendly lady at the service desk who spoke a very good level of English. A purchase of an ideal week long unlimited metro pass followed for a reasonable price. Descending the escalator into the modern designed metro station, the first metro arrived minutes later and quickly carried me to my destination with confort.
In a flash, my fears had been alleviated. Spain, and it's capital Madrid, was to be a confortable country to travel in that best accommodated it's travellers.
Or so I thought.
Over the next few days things started to slightly deteriorate.
The metro remained reliable and quick. The weather was comfortable, providing some of the first true days of sunshine in Europe so far. The city of Madrid was actually quite clean and comfortable. The roads were large enough for the traffic that they needed to accommodate and there was plenty of space on the sidewalks for pedestrians.
But what shocked was the people. It's hard to really judge the Spanish at this stage – partly because it's only been Madrid that has been experience, but partly also because there's simply a lack of communication with them. The level of English here is disastrous, worse so than in France even. The people, even in tourist attracting locations such as restaurants, are reluctant to speak it or simply can't. It's something that inevitably every traveler must be prepared for and wrestle with, but Spain came as a surprise as to just how far behind it is in accepting English. It seems the woman at the metro station was an anomaly. A false hope.
Perhaps it's due to the fact that it seems that the people here just don't seem to care. It's difficult to find someone that enjoys their job and as a result they don't seem to try at all. There is the impression that the waiter/waitress in the bar doesn't want to serve you. The man in the bus station gives little assistance. The customers are nothing but an inconvenience, and there is certainly no notion of the customer is always right. It makes for some interesting, and at times uncomfortable, experiences.
The language barrier makes things magnitudes harder. In France, the language barrier existed, but by far nowhere near the same extents as it does here. In The Netherlands, the language barrier didn't even exist, as if something wasn't understood, English could be used and they could easily explain. And while the language barrier seems the primary issue here, there are other factors at play too. Cultural ones.
The Spanish seem in no rush to accommodate anybody else. Often while walking the streets they will simply cross in front on a collision path and expect you to move. I'm amazed at how this system works. If they all do it, how come there's not constant pedestrian collisions? They elderly are the worst at this, seemingly ignorant of the fact you even exist, they will cross into your path and then stop to have a chat with their friend, blocking your path. They have all the time in the world and apparently believe that everybody else does also.
It's certainly a change. There's no sense of urgency in day to day life here. Work can wait, for pleasure is the priority. There's the impression though that Madrid, as the capital and the financial center of Spain, does work harder than what is typical of the Spanish lifestyle. Having read numerous reports of Spain's dire unemployment situation and financial troubles, it was surprising to see such a well maintained city with not many homeless roaming the streets. There were modern cars aplenty and businessmen in suits a common sight. An early sign that perhaps there is money in this country after all, just not distributed wisely.
The cost of living is much cheaper here than in France even. This was the first place is Europe that I was able to genuinely purchase a pint of beer for 1€. The country is famous for it's tapas, small servings of food (typically sandwiches) that are quite regularly served free with a purchase of a cerveza (beer) or any other meal. The most common ingredient in this tapas would have to be ham. The Spanish (or at least, Madrid) live for it. It's everywhere and it's not uncommon to see large legs of ham hanging from the rafters of diners, restaurants and cafés. In fact, in Madrid one can find the Muséo del Jàmon (Museum of Ham).
Madrid also surprises because although it is the capital of Spain, there is not an abundance of high touristic attractions. The city actually presents itself to be quite modern. Some exist. The Plaza de Toros is worth a visit. The main bullfighting ring of Madrid, it presents some typically Spanish architecture as well as an important insight to Spanish culture. The visit inside is quite short and probably not worth the 10€ that was paid, however. The Plaza Mayor and the Palacio Real are also worth a visit. But the most enjoyable site of Madrid was actually the Parque del Retiro.
Situated just on the side of downtown Madrid, this large area of greenery is the premier park of Madrid and offers a shady escape from the loudness of the business district. There are many monuments to discover here and a lake where boats can be rented. It's a stunning and relaxing getaway to rest your feet after a long day of walking.
Perhaps due to the lack of prior research, Madrid surprised on many levels. So much so that I can't help but wonder if this is the true representation of Spain that I've always expected. Sometimes the capitals can be, not entirely but somewhat, different from the countries that they govern.
Time will tell if Madrid is one of these.
If Spain continues to be as it is in Madrid, some interesting adventures may eventuate.

Q: Nestjs merges external app in dist folder while building While building the "users" application, nestjs merges "gateway" application in dist folder of "users" dir instead of just compiling "src" folder of "users" dir
dir structure:
RootDir
---gateway //External nest app
---microservices
------users //Nest app to build

After calling 'yarn build' in users dir I can find dist folder with the following structure:
dist
---gateway
---microservices
------users

I use standard compile options built by nest-cli:
#nest-cli.json
{
  "collection": "@nestjs/schematics",
  "sourceRoot": "src",
  "watchAssets": true
}

#tsconfig.build.json

Mighty Mug was designed to prevent one major problem, spills! But why should you care about liquid spills you're probably asking yourself, well here are 5 solid reasons why.
1. Hot liquid spills hurt like heck!
People can suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150-degree liquid for more than two seconds (OUCH).
They are the root cause of most (60%) laptop repairs. Also, think about how many $5 cups go wasted a year, yikes!
Not only are they messy - they're also a safety hazard. Imagine walking over to Sam in HR and slipping on his spilled latte, shame.
4. Spills are stressful and sad.
It's frustrating and time-consuming to clean up and replace damaged goods. Broken glass, sticky floors, nope not a good time.
5. Who has time for spills?
it's crunch time and you've got less than 5 minutes to hand in your term paper or meeting that deadline and boom a spill takes you out of your flow and leads you down a series of unfortunate events that all could've easily been avoided.
So, what can you do about this? Shop for a new Mighty Mug, of course.
