Meet the Car Seat That Converts Into a Stroller in Seconds: The Doona
Summer Hull
Most parents with babies and young children are desperate for any gear or gadget that can truly make their lives easier and their babies safer. There's a ton of baby gear out there that isn't really life changing, but then there is the Doona Infant Car Seat. When it was introduced in the US in 2015, the Doona became a game changer for both traveling families and those who keep their travels closer to home. It's an infant car seat, but it can shoot out wheels and become an infant stroller in a matter of seconds. It's the kind of thing a parent may dream of when lugging a heavy infant seat by its handle — but this isn't a dream, it's very available and quite real.
Years ago, when our first daughter was an infant, we lugged around one of those bulky infant car seats on our arm like everyone else did when we would move her in and out of the car, go into restaurants, etc. This was especially the case if we were lucky enough that she was sleeping and we didn't want to disturb her. When we would travel, there was always a bunch of gear that would have to go with us if we weren't planning on holding her the whole time.
But with our second daughter, born in 2015, the Doona was newly available. While it was a big investment at $500+, I rationalized it since we were reusing a bunch of other large and pricy items such as the crib, jogging stroller, clothes and even cloth diapers. This one splurge was OK. Boy, am I glad we made that call.
We are beyond the infant stage now, but the Doona was indeed the game changer I hoped it would be in that first year. In fact, almost every time we would use it, people would stop us to find out what it was and how to get one — I always joked I should become a Doona rep because it was a showstopper everywhere we went.
Doona Infant Car Seat Specifications
The Doona is certified by the US and EU regulatory bodies for use as a car seat, approved for use on airplanes (assuming you have a seat for your infant), has side-impact protection, the materials are free of chemicals and it comes with things like an infant insert for use for the smallest of babies starting at 4 pounds.
The Doona is said to fit babies up to 35 pounds and 32 inches long. My daughter outgrew it at a little over 1 year old. She was well under 35 pounds, but she became too long for the seat by 12 to 15 months.

The Doona is undeniably heavy at around 16 pounds plus the weight of your baby, but that isn't a huge deal since you aren't carrying it around most of the time. You do have to lift it in and out of your car (and my car does have a ding or two from misfires), but you aren't carrying it for long distances as you might a traditional infant carrier. It can work with the base and a vehicle's LATCH system, or simply be utilized with just the seat belt. When we used the Doona in cabs and Ubers on our travels, we would just use the vehicles' seat belts.
How to Use the Doona Infant Car Seat Stroller
I will readily admit that converting the Doona to and from stroller mode took a few tries to master. But once you get the hang of it, it is quite simple and makes you feel like a parenting Houdini. Here is a flashback (low-budget) video of my youngest in the Doona where I demonstrate what it's like to convert the Doona from car seat to stroller mode and back again.

The Doona was great at home for running errands and such, but it earned its keep on trips. The age-old parent struggle of how to keep your child safe in cars on the road without carrying a traditional car seat into every stop you make is solved with the Doona. Having raised one child without this device, it was so amazing having baby gear that transformed from an infant car seat into a stroller with just the push of a button.
The Doona worked just fine for getting through the airport, stores or city sidewalks, but it is not the stroller I would use for a full day at Disney World or on a dirt path. I also recommend getting a cover for the Doona if you plan to gate check it on your next flight to keep it as protected as possible.
Where to Buy the Doona Car Seat
At around $500, the Doona is expensive, so you want to be smart with how you make the purchase to both maximize and protect it. The Doona is available in the TPG Merch Shop and some other retailers that currently carry the Doona include Nordstrom and Amazon. I bought mine at The Baby's Den to enjoy free shipping and no sales tax (outside of NY). Nordstrom is also a great choice with free shipping and a very solid return and price match policy. And I trust everyone knows the perks of purchasing via juggernaut, Amazon.
Because of the large cash outlay, I recommend using a credit card that has some sort of built-in purchase protections if you can. Outside of that, here are the best cards to use on Amazon purchases. You could also even consider using the Bank of America Cash Rewards credit card that can award 3% back on online shopping; up to $2,500 per quarter; then 1% (possibly going up as high as 5.25%).
While my baby is no longer a baby, I remain a huge fan of the Doona Infant Car Seat. We traveled with it to Mexico, Florida, NYC, the Colorado snow, Las Vegas and beyond. It also helped our home-life when we would pop into the grocery store, doctor's offices, Target and more. It was our priciest gear purchase for our second daughter, but it was worth every penny. When we ultimately resold it online for two-thirds of the original purchase price, we loved it even more.
Whether you travel around the world or just around your town with your baby, the Doona gets five stars from this picky mama.

Skibkhan – Keno Ei Poth Nile
Cypher in the Streets of Lahore, Pakistan
BOHEMIA LIVE IN PAKISTAN
Skibkhan is one of the most well known rappers in Bangladesh, and has been pushing for his dreams for a good portion of the past decade. As a former member of the Deshi MCs crew out of Dhaka, he made quitean impact in the Hip Hop scene in Bangladesh. The crew came out with the first 'gangsta rap' album back in 2007, titled "Banned". This album spread like wildfire, leading up to numerous collaborations, concerts, TV/Radio appearances, and got a great response from the young listeners of Hip Hop. Skibkhan went on to work with a variety of top producers, as well as came out with a second Deshi MCs album with his crew.
During that time, he recorded an anti-drug song for a mixed hip hop album produced by DJ Raf, and Jasper, titled "Kata Taarer Bera". The song was titled "Keno Ei Poth Nile" which translates to "Why would you take this path?", and was used by the nation's anti-drug lobbyists to gain awareness among teenagers. It's a song about the various issues teenagers face when they choose to experiment with certain kinds of drugs. The heart felt lyrics have touched people all over the country and really does make you stop and think about it. It also gained immense popularity through radio channels in the country. And, last year, the video for the song was released. The video, just like the song, is epic. It showcases the troubles faced by today's youth, and really has a strong message. Check out the video below, and let us know what you think.

La casa Amerighi si trova in piazza Santo Spirito 15 a Firenze.

Storia e descrizione
È un edificio con il fronte dal caratteristico disegno cinquecentesco, con le finestre allineate su due distinti ricorsi di pietra, che si espone per sei assi su tre piani più un mezzanino. Nella semplicità stilistica tipicamente fiorentina, il palazzo ha il pregio di aver conservato integra la sua purezza originaria.

Già della Commenda Aldegais-Augusta dell'Ordine di Santo Stefano papa e martire (fondata nel 1666) pervenne nel 1698 per discendenza indiretta al cavaliere, del medesimo Ordine, Orazio degli Amerighi di Siena, la cui famiglia ebbe qui la prima residenza fiorentina.

Nell'androne si trova l'affresco Venere e Cupido che piangono Adone morto (1634 circa)  di Giovanni da San Giovanni.

National Ex-Arizona Sheriff Arpaio Running to Try to Get His Job Back
Ex-Arizona Sheriff Arpaio Running to Try to Get His Job Back
Monday, August 26, 2019 at 1:25 pm | כ"ה אב תשע"ט
PHOENIX (AP) -
Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio (AP Photo/Matt York, File)
Nearly three years after he was voted out of office, the former metro Phoenix sheriff pardoned by President Donald Trump on a conviction related to rounding up immigrants in the country illegally is going after his old job.
Republican Joe Arpaio announced his 2020 campaign for Maricopa County sheriff Sunday on the anniversary of his pardon in 2017 from President Trump on the misdemeanor contempt of court conviction for disobeying an order to stop the immigration patrols.
Arpaio is 87 and spent 24 years as sheriff. In a statement, he vowed to enforce laws associated with the U.S.-Mexico border crimes and laws dealing with migrants coming into the country illegally. He also wants to reopen the outdoor tent jail complex he started that was closed by his successor, Democrat Paul Penzone.
Arpaio lost to Penzone in 2016. After the six-term sheriff's defeat, he was convicted for his acknowledged disobedience of a judge's 2011 order that barred his traffic patrols targeting immigrants. Arpaio was accused of prolonging the patrols for 17 months to boost his successful 2012 re-election campaign.
The pardon spared Arpaio — an early supporter of Trump's presidential campaign — a possible jail sentence.
Court arguments in his appeal on a ruling that refused to erase his criminal record after he was pardoned are scheduled to take place in October.
The judge who refused to expunge the conviction has said pardons don't erase convictions or the facts of cases and that Arpaio's clemency only mooted his possible punishments.
A special prosecutor has said Arpaio relinquished his right to appeal his conviction when he accepted the pardon.
Arpaio has called himself "America's toughest sheriff" and has previously floated the possibility of a run for office only to decide not to in the end. The only exception was his run last year for the Senate.
Arpaio was among three candidates in the Republican primary election and came in last place.

Bach and Banjo at Hawks and Reed
November 21, 2021 - 7pm
Chris Devine: Violin, Viola, Mandolin, Guitar
Michael Nix: Guitar, Banjar, Banjo, Mandolin
Chris Devine and Michael Nix, present: "Bach and Banjo". Bach's music takes on new perspectives when filtered through their imaginative arrangements and instrumental combinations. Nix's New Classic Banjo Project compositions for seven-string Banjar and duo arrangements of classic late 19th century music for five-string banjo are known for virtuosic, high energy performances of music that morphs and blends genres from classical, jazz, folk, bluegrass and international music in quirky, captivating arrangements. These two innovative multi-instrumentalists
Chris Devine's violin, viola, and mandolin, and Michael Nix's classical guitar, and seven-string Banjar. High-energy music from Brazil, Italy, Ireland, and original pieces for voila and seven-string Banjar compliment the Bach.
Devine and Nix bring together decades of international concert touring, recording, and composing in many genres. They are founding members of world chamber music trio The Pioneer Consort.
Chris Devine is a musician of diverse talents, performing on electric and acoustic violin, mandolin, and guitar, as well as flute, saxophone, and keyboard. He studied with internationally known concert violinist Julian Olevsky. As a session musician he has appeared on over 100 CDs in many different styles of music, including classical, jazz, pop, country, and folk. Chris toured Europe and Russia as a featured soloist with Blackmore's Night, starring the influential guitarist Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple.
Michael Nix has performed traditional classical repertoire, new classical, and original music on guitar, lute, banjo and mandolin, in concert halls throughout the United States and Asia. Recently Nix presented his compositions based on the historical archives at the Smithsonian. He has composed solo music, songs, chamber music, symphonic works, electronic music, and opera. Nix designed the seven-string Banjar, combining elements of the classical five string banjo, the lute and the classical guitar. He founded the New Classic Banjo Project, commissioning new works to expand the repertoire of the modern classic banjo.

Wirth syntax notation
Wirth syntax notation (WSN) is a metasyntax, that is, a formal way to describe formal languages. Originally proposed by Niklaus Wirth in 1977 as an alternative to Backus–Naur form (BNF). It has several advantages over BNF in that it contains an explicit iteration construct, and it avoids the use of an explicit symbol for the empty string (such as <empty> or ε).[1]
WSN has been used in several international standards, starting with ISO 10303-21.[2] It was also used to define the syntax of EXPRESS, the data modelling language of STEP.
WSN defined in itself[edit]
SYNTAX     = { PRODUCTION } .
PRODUCTION = IDENTIFIER "=" EXPRESSION "." .
EXPRESSION = TERM { "|" TERM } .
TERM       = FACTOR { FACTOR } .
FACTOR     = IDENTIFIER
| LITERAL
| "[" EXPRESSION "]"
| "(" EXPRESSION ")"
| "{" EXPRESSION "}" .
IDENTIFIER = letter { letter } .
LITERAL    = """" character { character } """" .
The equals sign indicates a production. The element on the left is defined to be the combination of elements on the right. A production is terminated by a full stop (period).
Repetition is denoted by curly brackets, e.g., {a} stands for ε | a | aa | aaa | ….
Optionality is expressed by square brackets, e.g., [a]b stands for ab | b.
Parenthesis serve for groupings, e.g., (a|b)c stands for ac | bc.
We take these concepts for granted today, but they were novel and even controversial in 1977. Wirth later incorporated some of the concepts (with a different syntax and notation) into extended Backus–Naur form.
Notice that letter and character are left undefined. This is because numeric characters (digits 0 through 9) may be included in both definitions or excluded from one, depending on the language being defined, e.g.:
digit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9" .
upper-case = "A" | "B" | … | "Y" | "Z" .
lower-case = "a" | "b" | … | "y" | "z" .
letter = upper-case | lower-case .
If character goes on to include digit and other printable ASCII characters, then it diverges even more from letter, which one can assume does not include the digit characters or any of the special (non-alphanumeric) characters.
Another example[edit]
The syntax of BNF can be represented with WSN as follows, based on translating the BNF example of itself:
syntax         = rule [ syntax ] .
rule           = opt-whitespace "<" rule-name ">" opt-whitespace "::="
opt-whitespace expression line-end .
opt-whitespace = { " " } .
expression     = list [ "|" expression ] .
line-end       = opt-whitespace EOL | line-end line-end .
list           = term [ opt-whitespace list ] .
term           = literal | "<" rule-name ">" .
literal        = """" text """" | "'" text "'" .
This definition appears overcomplicated because the concept of "optional whitespace" must be explicitly defined in BNF, but it is implicit in WSN. Even in this example, text is left undefined, but it is assumed to mean "ASCII-character { ASCII-character }". (EOL is also left undefined.) Notice how the kludge "<" rule-name ">" has been used twice because text was not explicitly defined.
One of the problems with BNF which this example illustrates is that by allowing both single-quote and double-quote characters to be used for a literal, there is an added potential for human error in attempting to create a machine-readable syntax. One of the concepts migrated to later metasyntaxes was the idea that giving the user multiple choices made it harder to write parsers for grammars defined by the syntax, so computer languages in general have become more restrictive in how a quoted-literal is defined.

Q: Is there a way I can show nearby points of interest on a Map in Website (pHp) / Wordpress I am new to StackOverflow and in the field of coding (mostly self taught).
I have been trying to get around a slight functionality requirement:
I am working on a Wordpress website utilizing maps. I already have my Google Maps API (Javascript, Places, Geocoding) setup.
I want to show a map on my website, which picks-up current location of the user and displays emergency points around it such a ATMs, Police Stations, Hospitals etc in a 10-30 km radius. I am relying on the Google Maps data itself showing up on that map.
Is there any insight/help/guidance that I can get from the SO community on how to actively achieve this? Any help will be really appreciated.

A: You can achieve this in a JavaScript code using Google Maps Platform Maps JavaScript API together with the HTML5 Geolocation feature and Google Maps Places Library's Nearby Search Requests.
Here is a sample code I made to help you on this use case. Here is also a breakdown of the code:

*

*Get the user location and pin it on the center of the map

Use the Geolocation code example to achieve this. Here it is in the code:
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
            var pos = {
                lat: position.coords.latitude,
                lng: position.coords.longitude
            };

            map.setCenter(pos);
            //Put marker of the Geolocated user location
            var userMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
                map: map,
                position: pos
            });

            google.maps.event.addListener(userMarker, 'click', function() {
                infoWindow.setContent('Your location');
                infoWindow.open(map, this);
            });

*Use Places Library's Nearby Search request to get the nearby place type you want. Since Nearbysearch has only one type to be specified in the requests, you need to create 3 requests variables like this:

            var requestHosp = {
                location: pos,
                radius: '10000',
                type: ['hospital']
            };
            var requestAtm = {
                location: pos,
                radius: '10000',
                type: ['atm']
            };
            var requestPolice = {
                location: pos,
                radius: '10000',
                type: ['police']
            };

Then make Places NearbySearch requests like this:
            var service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
            service.nearbySearch(requestHosp, callback);
            service.nearbySearch(requestAtm, callback);
            service.nearbySearch(requestPolice, callback);

Notice that it is calling a callback function. This function creates a marker for every place returned. This function should look like this:
function callback(results, status) {
    if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
        for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
            var place = results[i];
            createMarker(results[i]);
        }
    }
}

For the createMarker function, first you need to check for the specific place type on the place types array to determine the icon you will use in your place. It should look like this:
 var type = place.types;
    var iconStyle;
    //loop to all the type of the place
    for (var i = 0; i < type.length; i++) {
        //put array of Place types in placeType variable
        var placeType = type[i];
        //Check the placeType and set the icon according to the placeType value
        switch (placeType) {
            case "hospital":
                iconStyle = "http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/pharmacy_rx.png"
                break;
            case "atm":
                iconStyle = "http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/dollar.png";
                break;
            case "police":
                iconStyle = "http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/police.png"
                break;
        }

Analysis: Ford has been dealing with a groin injury for a couple of weeks but has yet to miss a game, and the injury hasn't affected his performance much. The pass rusher has logged three sacks and nine quarterback pressures through the season's first four games.

Turn your Tub into a Steam Room or Sauna by placing this great Hinoki Wood Tub Bench in place. Then have a seat and relax while you enjoy a bath/shower steam treatment. Or just use as a bench during shower time or a reading/beverage table during bath time.
Hinoki, or Japanese cypress, has long been prized for its natural antibacterial agents and its resistance to humidity. Both make it ideal for bathing accessories. The highly therapeutic wood contains minerals and essential oils traditionally used in Japan to treat skin irritations and reduce stress. The bench seats you comfortably for personal care. Hinoki (Japanese cypress) is grown in Japan under strict control. Since WW II, over 1 million acres of new forest have been planted and legislation regulates the sustainable harvest of this precious resource. All of the Hinoki products that we sell are made from 100% by-product wood that results from the thinning of forests which is required to maintain healthy growth. Creates a spa at home!
Unfortunately, this item is no longer available from the supplier and we are actively seeking a new supplier. Please contact us if you know of anyone able to supply U.S. retailers with this product. We hope to have these back soon.

"I've tried the bench in my shower/tub and it's exactly what I wanted. When shopping for a tub bench, I considered other options from other vendors in teak, cedar and pine, but I am glad I went with the Hinoki bench. The bench is reasonably priced, well-sized, attractive and highly functional. The faint smell of cypress is a pleasant extra. I would recommend this bench to others."


EXCLUSIVE: Royal Mail has introduced a new pilot scheme to support the wellbeing of employees who are separating from their spouses.
The pilot initiative, known as Dialogue First, aims to help employees reach an early-stage agreement with the partner with whom they are separating, while also supporting the mental and emotional wellbeing of those feeling upset or distressed by the situation.
Through employee assistance programmes (EAP), staff members going through a separation can gain access to a family law service. This includes a free 30-minute legal consultation with participating lawyers, with the initial aim of pursuing mediation where appropriate.
The scheme, which is supported by EAP providers CiC, Help Employee Assistance, People at Work, Workplace Wellness and Validium, is initially being piloted for employees in London, Manchester, Merseyside and the North East. The pilot will run for a period of 18 months.
Shaun Davis (pictured), group director of safety, health, wellbeing and sustainability at Royal Mail, said: "As one of the first employers to adopt the scheme we recognise that workplace wellbeing is as much about what happens to our employees outside of work.

Dialogue with Charbel Wehbi
Charbel Wehbi, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, Lebanon
In dialogue with Viviana Mazza, Corriere della Sera and Ugo Tramballi, Senior Advisor, Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI), Italy
Pivotal for the regional balance of the Levant, and an integral part of the Arab world, Lebanon is currently facing a severe political and socio-economic crisis, which was further exacerbated by August 4th explosion. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic added a new layer of complexity for a country that is already dealing with multi-faceted challenges and that over time has become s a sanctuary for refugees fleeing adjacent conflicts. Overall, the virus had put a strain on the Lebanese, exacerbating pre-existing socio-economic fragilities and threatening to jeopardize the country's fragile domestic equilibrium.
To address these concerns, the establishment of a functional cabinet becomes a vital step in implementing the comprehensive reforms necessary to drive Lebanon along the path of recovery, to restore the population's confidence, champion the importance of the state and eventually address Lebanon's vulnerabilities. Following the tragic explosion of this past August, a strong international response is equally critical to deliver assistance to the country, help it overcome its economic and financial challenges, rebuild its domestic stability, and support its refugee population.
Charbel Wehbi is a Lebanese politician. He was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants in August of this year. Prior to this posting, Mr. Wehbè was the diplomatic advisor to President Michel Aoun. His political career has led him to serve on behalf of the Lebanese government in many different countries. From 2007 to 2012, Mr. Wehbè was the Lebanese ambassador to Venezuela. He also served as general Consul in Los Angeles from 2007 to 2012 and in Montréal from 1995 to 2000. In regards to his studies, Mr. Wehbè studied both Law and Mathematics during his academic path at the University of Lebanon.


I really like the Cumberland Collection.
Ian found his way to Thos. Moser after earning a degree in Carpentry and working in the industry for several years. He developed a love for wood working at a young age after working alongside his grandfather in his shop. Now, working as our Tables Coordinator, he is able to further develop his woodworking skills every day.
His favorite part about working at Thos. Moser is the Customer in Residence program because he loves to teach the subject of wood working. He also really enjoys working on custom projects because it gives him the opportunity to think outside of the box and experiment with new solutions and different types of joinery.
Outside of work, Ian enjoys exploring additional ways to work with wood on his own time. His interests range from crafting his own designs, to building a guitar, or trying his hand at Swedish spoon carving. He also enjoys traveling and spending time in nature hiking, fishing, and hunting.

Q: While loop not working when running it in thread So basically i tried to get this while loop to run inside this thread, it should activate when "activate" evaluates to true but for some reason it is not working.
"activate" is boolean value which activates when user presses mouse button (i  setted up listener for that). If anyone wonders im using jnativehook library for this project. Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.
private boolean activate;
private Robot robot;

@Override
public void run() {
    try {
        robot = new Robot();
    } catch (AWTException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    while(true) {
        if (activate == true) {
            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
            robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
            robot.delay(100);
        }
    }
}

A: One possibility is that the compiler (either the Java compiler, or the JIT compiler) has decided that it does not need to test activate because it can prove that nothing inside the while loop ever changes it.  In most compiled programming languages, the compiler is allowed to assume that the code will be single threaded unless you do something special to tell it otherwise.  That assumption is justified because it enables the compiler to generate much more efficient code most of the time.
Accessing the variable from within a synchronized block, or declaring the variable to be volatile would prevent the compiler from making that assumption.
Better still would be to use a private final AtomicBoolean activate;.

A: activate is never set to true.
If you don't believe me then add this line at the bottom of your while loop:
System.out.println("activate = " + activate);

A: // Here is the sample program which should run your method correctly. All the changes
// are commented upon. Don't judge harshly, not a professional with java

import java.awt.AWTException;
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import java.util.Scanner;

class Processor extends Thread {

// Have to initialize the variable here
private boolean activate = true;
private Robot robot;

public void run() {
    try {
        robot = new Robot();
    } catch (AWTException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    // No need for while (true) here
    while (activate) {
        robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
        robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
        robot.delay(100);
    }
}

// method to stop the program
public void shutdown() {
    activate = false;
}
}

public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException, InterruptedException, NullPointerException {
    // activates the process
    Processor p = new Processor();
    p.start();

    // Press any key to stop the process
    // program will run endlessly until scanner value (key input) is provided
    Scanner key_input = new Scanner(System.in);
    key_input.nextLine();
    p.shutdown();
}
}

A: Thanks for all suggestion fixed the problem by passing class instance to my MouseListener class.
For anyone that gets same problem:
public boolean activate;
public boolean toggled;

private Robot robot;
public MouseListener mouseListener = new MouseListener();
public KeyboardListener keyListener = new KeyboardListener();
public static Game instance;

public Game() {
    this.activate = false;
//  this.toggled = false;

    try {
        GlobalScreen.registerNativeHook();
        GlobalScreen.isNativeHookRegistered();
        GlobalScreen.addNativeMouseListener(mouseListener);
        GlobalScreen.addNativeKeyListener(keyListener);
    } catch (NativeHookException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public void run() {
    try {
        robot = new Robot();
    } catch (AWTException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    while(true) {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(1L);
            if(Game.this.isActivate()) {
                robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
                robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_DOWN_MASK);
                robot.delay(100);
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

public boolean isActivate() {
    return activate;
}

public void setActivate(boolean activate) {
    this.activate = activate;
}

public boolean isToggled() {
    return toggled;
}

public void setToggled(boolean toggled) {
    this.toggled = toggled;
}

**public static Game getGame() {
    if(Game.instance == null) {
    Game.instance = new Game();
    }
    return Game.instance;
}**

Here is the class that changes "activate" to "true".
public void nativeMouseClicked(NativeMouseEvent e) {
    // nothing
}

public void nativeMousePressed(NativeMouseEvent e) {
    if(e.getButton() == NativeMouseEvent.BUTTON1) {
        Game.getGame().setActivate(true);
    }
}

public void nativeMouseReleased(NativeMouseEvent e) {
    if(e.getButton() == NativeMouseEvent.BUTTON1) {
        Game.getGame().setActivate(false);
    }
}

}

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
Prospective producers enter the den to pitch their ideas to the dragons. But who will walk away with investment?


20 years ago we didn't even think about online presence, now most of us have one. Everything has changed, and so has marketing, that's for sure. If you want to know what you can do about it, keep reading.
Businesses need to rethink the way they approach marketing and sales if they want to survive in the online world.
More and more prospects are making decisions on information they find in search engines or social networks.
In this scenario, interacting with your target audience and improving your online presence with social media marketing and quality content is crucial.
Instagram has grown to over 600 million users, and users have shared over 40 billion photos and like 4.2 billion posts per day.
45% of marketers say blogging is the #1 most important piece of their content strategy.
The fact is that if you aren't taking good care of your business' online presence, you're missing a tremendous opportunity to increase traffic to your website and generate leads.
So I present you with the six adjectives you need to be to have a great online presence.
User Experience is related to the simple reality that online consumers have no patience. They're not going to wait for a site that takes too long to load or waste time trying to navigate through a sophisticated interface.
The way to fix this is taking good care of optimizing your site AND analyzing your visitors' behavior. Not doing so may be way more expensive for your business than taking care of fixing it. UX has become the most crucial issue to search engines and so it will be one of the most critical factors for your SEO.
Succeeding comes down to offering value. Moreover, you can't offer any value when you block your fans opinion. You need to hear them and improve based on their demands and feedback.
When you're trying to implement an content marketing strategy and generate quality content, you need to listen to the market. Go out there, perform surveys, fully understand your client. You can't have a proper content strategy when you don't know what your clients need to know or learn.
Great ways of achieving this are reading comments in your competition's blogs, visiting forums, surveying your clients or using Q&A websites like Quora.
A typical web surfer is lazy. He needs you to show him the way.
Decisions consume willpower and willpower is a finite resource. Try to reduce the choices your potential costumers have to make while browsing your website to its minimum.
To achieve this, you need to tailor your sections to your costumers as much as possible. Try to identify what will offer them the most value and show it to them in a very straightforward manner.
Content is king. That's the simple truth about online marketing. If you want your brand to improve its quality, you need to start offering free but valuable content to your prospects. Suitable material can include videos, blog posts, info-graphics or long-form content such as free e-books and guides.
If you want to make your brand stand out from your competition you need to establish a better relationship with your potential costumers. You can achieve this by showing them you know what you're talking about, showing them you can offer them value.
Good content can even become viral, so use it to interact with your potential costumers through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and your website's blog. So it doesn't matter how much you spend in PPC or try to reach your prospects, if you're not offering them something before asking them to buy, somebody else will.
You need to be there for your clients and prospects. To establish an online presence, you need to offer good content and also add to the discussion. Participate in social media, answer questions and be consistent with your content creation process and newsletters. Work as a journalist or magazine and have an editorial calendar. We, humans, are creatures of habit, we need to know when to expect something to feel trust. So you want people to feel trust for your brand.
Being an active part of the discussion also means sharing quality content or even promoting something your community told you about. In other words, you need not only to attract your prospects, but you also need to listen to them and cultivate the relationship.
Rome wasn't built in a day. You need to cultivate these habits and think in the long term. That's the way content marketing works, and you invest in your brand. It's way more tempting to just put money into PPC or ads, but those tactics are coming to an end. People are blocking ads on the internet and hanging the phone to telemarketers, with good reasons. We're saturated with people trying to sell to us. Content Marketing is a more effective and ethical way of doing marketing, and in the end, you offer value to the world. If you don't believe it, check the big companies, more and more they're realizing this is the better way.
What do you think? What are your most significant challenges when implementing this kind of strategy?

Family of Missing Donna Jou Hold Press Conference on 24th Birthday to Update Details in Her Case
Friday, October 14, 2011 the family and supporters of missing college student, Donna Jou, will be gathering at 10:30am Pacific Time at 210 W. Temple Street (in front of Criminal Justice Building) in Los Angeles, California for a press conference observing Donna's 24th birthday and to update the public about new information in the case. On June 23, 2007, 19 year old college student, Donna Jou disappeared under suspicious circumstances from the home of three time convicted sexual predator, John Steven Burgess, located at 3617 Faris Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90034.. Earlier this year, Donna's confessed killer, Burgess, was released from prison after serving 2 years of his 5 year sentence, then quickly remanded to Los Angeles County Jail on lesser charges. He will no doubt be eligible to be released back into society in the near future. The family feels there should be enough information and evidence to re-open the case and seeks a better measure of justice for their daughter and demands recovery of her remains. Donna Jou's disappearance has devastated, not only …
The Case of Missing Donna Jou: Taking to the Airwaves
Confessed Killer, John Steven Burgess, to be Released April 15 San Diego, CA……Donna Jou went missing on June 23, 2007 after meeting with a man who answered an ad placed on Craig's List offering tutoring by Ms. Jou. That man, known as both John Steven Burgess and Logan Anderson, eventually confessed to playing a part in her death and disposing of her body from a boat in the Pacific Ocean around San Diego, CA. Since the day that Donna Jou was last seen riding off with Burgess on a motorcycle, her family has waged a campaign to know the truth. Appearing on The Susan Murphy Milano show on March 31, Donna's father, Reza Jou and business partner, Karim Pirani of SafeList.com, were able to open up questions surrounding this case to the hosts. Susan Murphy Milano is a nationally known radio host and expert on intimate partner violence. On the show, questions about Burgess arose, explicitly about his prior acts and patterns of behavior before meeting up with Donna Jou. Burgess is a registered sex …

IEA Chief Economist Fatih Birol synthesized the agency's 2013 World Energy Outlook and his own analysis to suggest that for the next 20 years, low energy costs caused by the early and plentiful development of shale gas and energy infrastructure will give the United States a large competitive advantage over other nations when it comes to attracting and developing business. "For many years to come, both in the natural gas and electricity prices, there will be a substantial cost differential between the United States and many of its economic competitors," Birol said.

Sirotkin and da Costa impress at the Hungaroring
By Luke SmithSep 15, 2013, 2:00 PM EDT
Sergey Sirotkin may have been making the headlines for being on-course to be the youngest ever Formula One driver next season, but he has finally made himself newsworthy for the right reasons in Hungary this weekend by finishing third in a Formula Renault 3.5 race.
The series is widely regarded as being on par with GP2 as a feeder formula for F1, housing the likes of McLaren youngsters Kevin Magnussen and Stoffel Vandoorne and Red Bull juniors Antonio Felix da Costa and Carlos Sainz Jr. In Hungary on Saturday, Sirotkin managed to put all of the bad press about pay drivers behind him to come third behind race winner Nico Muller and Magnussen.
After the race, Sirotkin expressed his delight following a tough year.
"We haven't had much success this season, what with missing out on podiums and big points, but I managed to get some here today," the eighteen-year-old said. "I'm delighted. We now need to work hard and make sure we finish the season in style."
For da Costa, Sunday's race yielded even greater rewards as the Red Bull junior driver won his second race of the season. Having been linked with Daniel Ricciardo's seat at Toro Rosso, da Costa required a good result following the late entry of Sainz into the race for the position. This may just be the decisive result for da Costa though, with Sainz finishing down in P22.


The Bombay High Court on Wednesday asked actor Preity Zinta to respond to a petition filed by industrialist Ness Wadia seeking to quash a 2014 case lodged against him by the actor for allegedly outraging her modesty.
Wadia's counsel told the court they wanted to "bury the hatchet".
"We (Wadia) want to bury the hatchet. The complainant is married now and has moved on with her life. The two (Wadia and Zinta) even sit at the same table during the IPL players' auction now," Wadia's lawyer Abaad Ponda told the court.
According to the complaint, Wadia was abusing the team staff over ticket distribution when Zinta asked him to calm down as their team was winning. He, however, abused and molested her by grabbing her arm, the actor had alleged.


Okay, so I think I've made it pretty clear that I like aprons. So it should come as no surprise that I signed up immediately after reading a blurb about Lucy's Sassy Apron Swap on whipup. I haven't received confirmation that I'm officially in yet, but the deadline is Jan. 20 so I think I'm good. Act fast if you want to participate in this great opportunity to celebrate the apron, too.
Oh, and check this out. These Heavenly Hostess aprons are so pretty. Unfortunately, they're made for full-figured women. I wish I would have discovered this site before I slimmed down. Crap! Now I need to find an apron like this for women with "nothing to speak of." Let me know if you know of such a place because I love this design.

Crewe Alex stopped the rot with a battling draw against high-flying Swindon in a game which saw both sides finish up with 10 men.
Fussy referee Graham Salisbury showed 11 yellow cards at Gresty Road on Saturday – and Alan Tate and Jake Stephens picked up two apiece.
It was a decent result for the Railwaymen on the back of back-to-back defeats, and it moved them up to 18th in League One, four points above the drop zone.
Manager Steve Davis made two changes to the side that lost at Barnsley last time out. Keeper Paul Rachubka made his full debut in place of the injured Ben Garratt, while Greg Leigh was recalled in defence at the expense of James Baillie.
For the visitors, top-scorer Andy Williams was passed fit to start and key man Massimo Luongo took his place in midfield.
Crewe made a decent start and Nicky Ajose twice threatened early on. First he elected to turn back inside when a shot was on, and was robbed. Then he ran clear onto a Jamie Ness pass and was called – incorrectly – offside.
The Robins were notably keen on pulling shirts, in open play, and it regularly went unpunished. Amazingly, it was James Jones later booked for a tug and George Ray was harshly cautioned too.
On 15 minutes Nathan Byrne drove into the Alex box and fizzed a ball across goal. It was half-cleared and Luongo should have done better than blaze the loose ball over.
Oliver Turton looked a threat down the right, but he could not find the right cross when he got down the line. One was too high for Ajose, while after he nutmegged Byrne he was snuffed out by covering defenders.
On 23 minutes the lively Byrne again burst into the box and squared in the direction of Michael Smith but the forward hit wide under pressure from George Ray.
Five minutes later a wayward strike from Ben Gladwin fell to the feet of Williams but his strike was straight at Rachubka.
The Alex broke, Marcus Haber won a free-kick and when Ness delivered it Ray was blatantly fouled by Raphael Rossi-Branco, who wrapped his arm round the defender's neck, but referee Salisbury's inept performance continued, and he waved 'play on'.
On 37 Smith's change of pace earned him a shooting angle and he powerfully laced it on target and Rachubka turned it round the post.
The ex-Manchester United keeper had a let-off seconds later when he fumbled a soft shot and Williams tapped in the loose ball – only to be flagged offside.
Tate had a header saved by keeper Wes Foderingham in first-half stoppage time.
Branco and Ness were booked early in the second half as both sides jostled for supremacy.
Chances were few and far between, but Salisbury was busy. He carded Tate as his bookings-tally lifted to 100 for the season.
On 63 minutes good work from Ness saw Ajose charge through the middle but he snatched at his chance and it flew well over.
Byrne pulled one wide at the other end, while two Crewe corners in the 67th minute came to nothing.
Attacking wing-back Byrne tried again from range and Rachubka had to push it for a corner.
Luongo, who had been quiet in the first half, started to pull the strings as the game wore on. He skipped through several challenges and blasted over as the match entered its final 20 minutes.
The Alex were penned back and it took a good interception from Harry Davis to dispossess Luongo as he attempted to pick his way through.
A groggy Greg Leigh was replaced by Jon Guthrie before, on 87 minutes Rachubka pulled off a brilliant reflex save from sub John Obika.
Stephens was sent off when he picked up a second yellow card for kicking the ball away, and after a couple of stoppages eight minutes of injury time was signalled.
Jones tickled a tame shot into the arms of Foderingham, and a powerful surge from Turton caused havoc but Swindon were able to scramble clear.
But Crewe's momentum was stalled when Tate was shown a second yellow for a card, but it still took a good block from sub Yasir Kassim to deny Haber a late winner.


President Obama said yesterday that he plans to move quickly to name a replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter, as senators and interest groups on both ends of the ideological spectrum began mobilizing for the first court confirmation battle of his presidency.
Making a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room after speaking with Souter by phone, Obama told reporters he hopes to have a new justice in place for the start of the court's next term in October, a timeline that aides said would require a nomination to be sent to the Senate by June or July.
The president praised Souter, 69, as a "fair-minded and independent judge" and said he would nominate a replacement who both respects the Constitution and brings "empathy" and "understanding" to the bench.
"I will seek someone who understands that justice isn't about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a casebook; it is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people's lives -- whether they can make a living and care for their families, whether they feel safe in their homes and welcome in their own nation," Obama said.
The vacancy presents Obama with his first opportunity to begin reshaping the court. With the Republican opposition in the Senate weakened by the November elections and last week's defection by Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, few conservatives held out much hope that they could block an Obama nominee.
On Capitol Hill, Republicans acknowledged the long odds they faced to defeat the eventual nominee unless Obama makes a selection that is easily portrayed as outside the mainstream of legal thinking.
"The only way the Obama administration can screw this up is to nominate someone who is a radical," said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), a senior member of the Judiciary Committee. Graham said Republicans understood that "you're basically going to replace one liberal with another." The only chance for a real surprise in the hearings, Graham said, would be if the White House, as it has with several Cabinet nominees, puts forward a candidate with financial or ethical problems.
"I would advise they vet the person a little better than they have in the past," Graham quipped.
Early speculation about Obama's potential choices has centered on several female jurists, as well as a number of prominent Hispanics. A Hispanic has never served on the Supreme Court.
White House officials began the work of identifying potential court nominees soon after Obama's election in November. During the transition, aides began compiling a list of possible Supreme Court candidates, with Obama adding several names to the mix. That process accelerated when the White House began receiving suggestions in February that Souter hoped to step down.
Souter had not planned to announce his retirement until the end of the court's term in June, according to an informed source, and was stunned when the first reports broke Thursday night. The source said Souter called a friend Thursday evening to say that there was a story moving about his retirement and to lament that he had not yet had a chance to convey his decision to Obama.
Souter called Obama yesterday and formalized his decision to retire with a one-paragraph letter to the president that was released by the court. Souter, the court's most reclusive member, made no public statement.

Press Release: Announcing the Louisville Initiative for Violence Eradication (LIVE) -- A Plan to Com
For Immediate Release: Pegasus Institute Announces "Louisville Initiative for Violence Eradication" (LIVE), Releases Reports Aimed at Reducing Homicides in Louisville
Louisville- In a three part report, Pegasus Institute, a public policy think-tank based in Louisville, Kentucky, made comprehensive policy proposals aimed at addressing Louisville's growing violent crime problem. The Louisville Initiative for Violence Eradication (LIVE) deals with policing tactics, environmental factors, and legislative changes that the group's research indicates will lower Louisville's homicide rate.
In a report released with the proposals, the group found that Louisville's current homicide spike is the worst in the cities history, with an increase of 110% between 2014 and 2016. This spike far exceeds Louisville's previous record spike, which occurred between 1969 and 1971 at a jump of 44.7%. While many similar sized metro areas have experienced spikes in violent crimes, Louisville is unique in its degree.
Pegasus Institute Co-Executive Director Jordan Harris notes that the problem is concentrated inside of the Watterson Expressway, in much of the area that made up the city prior to the county-city merger in 2003. Harris found that, "Using a conservative estimate of a population, inside the Watterson Expressway is just under 275,000 residents, meaning that with 84 total murders in 2016, this area had a murder rate of 30.5 per 100,000. If considered in isolation, this would be the 8th most dangerous major city in America, edging out Chicago, Illinois, which has a murder rate of 27.7 per 100,000."
A separate portion of the report, authored by Pegasus Institute Co-Executive Director Josh Crawford, contends that the spike is not directly caused by the opioid crises, but is instead caused by a small number of gang members who perpetrate a disproportionate amount of the city's violent crime. Attempting to reduce homicides by focusing solely on the drug market, Crawford claims, will not have the impact that Louisville needs to end the murder spike.
Crawford acknowledges that this argument might be tough to fathom, "because drugs and violence so often exist in the same spheres," but they require unique solutions. Crawford notes an attempt to isolate the drug market in Nashville, which was successful in doing so, but failed to impact the violent crime rate in the target area. Crawford offers hope that Louisville can avoid a similar mistake by developing independent strategies to address both problems.
The group offers a four tiered solution as part of the LIVE initiative.
A focused deterrence policing strategy targeting street gangs
Tearing down abandoned buildings identified as crime hotspots using mapping technology
Improving street lighting on vulnerable streets and neighborhood
Tailored gang enhancement legislation passed by the state legislature

Il Kal Grandi (Veliki hram) ili Il kal vježu (Stari hram) je prva sinagoga izgrađena u Sarajevu 1580. – 1581. godine. Stajala je unutar židovske četvrti čije je službeno ime bilo Sijavuš-pašina daira (zvali su ju Velika avlija i kurtižiko – ladino izraz za dvorište). Prvobitni izgled sinagoge nije u potpunosti poznat jer je gorjela nekoliko puta. Jedna je od najvrijednijih židovskih spomenika kulture u Bosni i Hercegovini.

U skladu s materijalnim, i u ono vrijeme društvenim položajem Židova u Sarajevu, bila je skromnih dimenzija i skromne vanjske obrade, iako se po nekim detaljima i osnovnoj koncepciji strukture nazire sličnost s arhitekturom hramova u Španjolskoj. Njezina arhitektonska forma skladna je i čista, pomalo rustikalna. Može je se dovesti i u vezu s islamskom arhitekturom u Bosni i Hercegovini, pogotovo poslije obnove, kad je strop nadsvođen kupolama (1821. godine).

Sinagoga je 1966. godine pretvorena u Muzej Židova Bosne i Hercegovine u kojem su pohranjeni eksponati Muzeja Sarajeva.

Il Kal Grandi valja razlikovati od Velikog Sefardskog hrama koji je izgrađen po nacrtima Rudolfa Lubynskog početkom 20. stoljeća. Osim što su građeni u različitom vremenskom razdoblju one se razlikuju i u arhitektonskom izričaju. Ono što im je zajedničko je pridjev veliki u imenu (grandi-veliki,-a, -o), zgrade i dalje postoje ali s promijenjenom funkcijom (tako je Il Kal Grandi danas u funkciji Muzeja Židova Bosne i Hercegovine, a Veliki Sefardski hram je Bosanski Kulturni Centar) te ih se gradi na inicjativu iste Židovske zajednice one Sefardske.

Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh has called on the Arab League to sue Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The call came during a phone call Haniyeh made on Monday with Secretary-General of the Cairo-based league, Ahmed Abul-Gheit, to discuss Israeli practices against the Palestinians.
On Friday, at least 18 Palestinians were killed and hundreds injured by Israeli gunfire during rallies demanding the return of refugees near the border of the Gaza Strip.
Haniyeh underlined the need "to go to the UN General Assembly to discuss the [Israeli] crime and form a special investigation commission", his office said in a statement.
The UN Security Council held a session on Saturday at the request of Kuwait to discuss the situation on Gaza border, but the Council failed to condemn the Israeli violence against Palestinian protesters.
According to the statement, Abul-Gheit decried the "Israeli crime against participants in the peaceful rally".
Delegates of the Arab League are scheduled to meet on Tuesday in Cairo to discuss Israeli actions against the Palestinians.

Goldcorp Inc.: The Musselwhite Mine
The Musselwhite gold mine has quietly grown into a giant deposit since it first opened in 1997. It is wholly owned by Goldcorp Canada Ltd. and is located in Northwestern Ontario, 480 km NNW of Thunder Bay. The mine currently produces ~260,000 ounces of gold per year and has produced 3.1 million ounces to date with a current mine life extending to 2019 and considerable potential for further discoveries. Access to the ore zones is via a portal and ramp system which now extends down to the 945 metre level.
Gold was first discovered in the area in 1962 by brothers Harold and Allan Musselwhite of Kenpat Mines Ltd. who found erratic gold mineralization in a quartz vein on the north side of Opapimiskan Lake and several showings in iron formation on the south side of the lake. These two determined prospectors continued to explore the area largely on their own until 1973 when a syndicate of Dome Exploration, Canadian Nickel Co., Esso Minerals Canada Ltd. and Lacana Mining Corp. stepped in to finance further work. Years of exploration drilling eventually led to the discovery of the West Anticline Zone in 1983 and the T-Antiform Zone in 1986 and outlined 1.8 million ounces of gold. The remaining partners in the syndicate at that time, Placer Dome and TVX, had faith that much more ore would be found once they were underground and proceeded with development of the Musselwhite Mine.
The mine opened in 1997 and over the following years several major ore zones were found on the lower limbs of the PQ Deeps synform adjacent to the original T-Antiform ore zones. The remaining reserves and resources (Indicated + Measured) sits at 2.3 million ounces, with a further 0.85 million ounces of inferred resources. Combined with the past production, these resources give a grand total of 6.2 million ounces, qualifying Musselwhite as "giant" deposit" and more than justifying the developer's faith in this deposit.
Musselwhite is found within the northwestern portion of the Archean age Superior geological province and lies along the edge of the North Caribou proto-continental core, at the boundary with the Island Lake Domain. The host rocks are about 2.98 billion years old and the age of the ore at Musselwhite has been determined to be 2.69 billion years. Mineralisation is currently believed to be related to an orogeny (mountain-building event) caused by the collision of the Oxford-Stull Terrane about 75 km away, much like the collision of the Indian sub-continent with Asia. Musselwhite is somewhat unusual in that the host rocks are well within the high temperature and pressure amphibolite grade metamorphic area (formed at ~550 deg C and 9 km depth), more than 5 km from the lower temperature and pressure greenschist grade rocks. The predominant ore host is a silicate facies (variety) of a banded iron formation composed of coarse almandine garnets in fine-grained grunerite (iron-rich amphibole). During shearing the grunerite flowed in a ductile manner while the garnets proved more resistant and prone to fracturing. Mineralised shear zones within this unit are characterised by quartz flooding and veining, coarse hydrothermal garnets, green hornblende replacing the grunerite, and pyrrhotite as veins and blebs. Gold is directly proportional to the pyrrhotite content and the great majority occurs with pyrrhotite filling fractures in the garnets. Smaller ore zones are also found in the adjacent chert-magnetite oxide facies of the iron formation and rare gold-quartz veins are also found scattered throughout the overlying basaltic volcanic rocks. The majority of specimen-quality samples come from these scattered quartz veins in the volcanic rocks or secondary, remobilised veins in the chert-magnetite iron formation.


Michelle is the founder of her wearable tech brand, Made with Glove, developing heated gloves for women. Discover how she has built her business around her expertise in wearable tech, being a woman in small business, giving talks, lectures and educational programs for university students. She shares her tips on how you can diversify your business.
I became an entrepreneur after a six-hour walking tour in -21 degrees in Prague in 2013.
My hands became unbearably numb and painful, and I could only find relief from the cold by putting disposable hand warmers inside my gloves. When I returned to the UK, the only heated gloves I could find were big, black and bulky for motorcyclists or skiers, which was what convinced me of there being a gap in the market for fashionable versions that women like me would want to wear. This is how Made With Glove – fashionable 'wearable-tech' heated gloves for women – came about.
From there it was something of a whirlwind.
"I have made several moves to diversify my income-generating portfolio that are linked to, but still independent of, my primary business"
I resigned from my job as a property solicitor and entered and won a wearable tech hackathon in 2014, winning a grant from Lancaster University to start Made With Glove. Hackathons are a great way to quickly prototype and test ideas with a diverse group of people with different skills and I would highly recommend them to any tech entrepreneurs looking to kickstart their knowledge on the product development process.

Some employed people and companies do not realise or appreciate the challenging financial journey an entrepreneur embarks on. Try to negotiate when they ask you to do things for free. Compensation for travel is the minimum plus your time spent on their project. Being a freelancer doesn't mean you work for free. It means you are free to choose what work you will and won't do.
It will allow you to generate steady income and reduce financial stress. You will also gain a different perspective, fresh new ideas, contacts and networks to allow you to apply it to your business when you return.
Build your networks early on in your journey and continue to maintain those relationships. Reach out to them and ask for advice, guidance or ask them to send business your way. Having a formal mentor or business coach can also prove to be invaluable.
Remember to take holidays, short breaks and spend time with friends, family and in my case, my partner and our puppy, Miss Ellie.
The fact is this is what has helped me drive Made With Glove from strength to strength.
As a business, Made With Glove is currently on the exciting journey of product development and creating our third prototype. But as I continue working on Made With Glove, I have made several moves to diversify my income-generating portfolio that are linked to, but still independent of, my primary Made With Glove business. I have found this is key to not only surviving as an entrepreneur financially, but brings the added bonuses of constantly learning, meeting new people and finding new opportunities whilst working on a variety of interesting projects.
There are three core ways I have found to diversify my business: speaking opportunities, workshops and consultancy. I have always had a passion for teaching and inspiring others, so when a chance opportunity arose to be a speaker on a woman in technology panel, I took it. Whilst this wasn't a strategic decision initially, I realised very quickly that I enjoyed public speaking because it gave me a platform to share my knowledge, inspire the next generation, promote my company and the wearable technology industry. I also realised I could generate income from it too.
I did my first speaking event in 2015 and now count dozens of presentations under my belt. I now speak regularly at conferences and universities to talk about various topics such as Wearable Technology, Fashion and Wearable Technology, Entrepreneurs and Start-ups, Inspiring Women in Technology and Women in Business.
In addition to speaker opportunities, I also deliver workshops for local communities and am contracted to deliver workshops for business schools, incubators and many more, however consultancy has also proved to be hugely financially and professionally rewarding. I now consult for companies on startups, co working spaces, accelerators and incubators, funding competitions, digital skills, judging competitions, pitching, presenting and have recently started consulting for highly skilled tech entrepreneurs wishing to come to the UK and start their business here.
Over my time as an entrepreneur, I have gained invaluable and practical experience, and I am rewarded with flexibility, travel (which I love) and independence.
That is not to say it is without its challenges – from being pulled in many different directions, to the time it takes to apply for funding and also not having a manager or a supervisor – to check into or tell me that I'm doing a good (or bad!) job.
However, for those who are starting out or looking to grow, perhaps my experience is one that can also help you.

Cult? No, that's too strong.
Religion? No, that could be sacrilegious.
Fanaticism? Yes, Valdosta Wildcat football loyalists are fanatics - in a good way - as in "America's winningest football team."
Winningest? Yes, it's on Valdosta's welcome sign: home of 23 state and six national championships. And like the word - winningest - you won't find that many victories anywhere else either.
Winningest? That's right, as in Wright Bazemore, the coach who many thought couldn't be replaced. But Nick Hyder told his 'Cats to "never, never, never, never, never, never, never quit." And he didn't until he dropped dead in the school lunchroom, but that wasn't until he became the "winningest" Wildcat coach ever. In 22 years, his teams won six state titles and three national championships. Between 1980 and 1992, his record was 163-11, a .937 percentage victory margin. That kind of winning is so addictive, becoming a fanatic is easy.
But finding a replacement for gridiron saints like Bazemore and Hyder was anything but easy. Just ask around Valdosta. Or better yet, ask the parade of coaches who didn't last long.
And then, to gnaw on the fabled Wildcats' ego, the upstart Vikings of Lowndes County High began filling their trophy case. The Wildcat Nation became a zoo of bitterness and frustration.
Something had to be done, and that's the basis of Drew Jubera's new book, "Must Win." I zipped through its 318 pages in three days.
In my hometown, if you beat Valdosta, your season is glorious. Things were never more glorious in Jesup than they were 58 years ago. Coach John Donaldson's Yellow Jackets beat Bazemore's 'Cats not once, but twice, in 1954. Both times, the score was 13-7. And old men sitting around coffee tables still revel in those victories en route to a state championship.
I was too young to remember that 1954 season, but I will never forget standing in the Jesup press box on Nov. 28, 1975. University of Georgia head football coach Vince Dooley was on my right. His assistant, Mike Cavan, was on my left. They had their eyes on a young Buck Belue. Many Valdosta fans had their eyes on the big game in Macon next week, so they stayed home.
The Wildcats had the Jackets under their paws. Future Clemson quarterback Billy Lott stood near the end zone to punt, but he surprised everyone - including Coach Donaldson. He rifled the pigskin to pint-sized Donnie Palmer, streaking down the middle. Donnie raced into history, stunning Nick Hyder's gold-and-black-clad 'Cats, 15-14. That's not in Jubera's book, but what you will find is an eye-opening stroll through an it's-not-like-it-used-to-be world - except for the fanaticism of winning - of high school football.
"Must Win" introduces you to Rance Gillespie, a tiger of a coach from Tiger, Ga., who dares to become a Bazemore- and Hyder-like legend. He told the interview committee, "There are very few places in our culture where a kid - a young man - can learn toughness and have a place to go and find himself. … Football is one of the last resorts for that." You can ask Georgia Bulldogs Malcolm Mitchell and Jay Rome about the toughness and compassion of their high school coach.
Gillespie is tough on himself, too. Along with sweat and dogged determination, X's and O's ooze from his pores. His wife, Claudette, said, "Rance will talk football with a dead frog if the frog is listening." That's what it takes, along with enough championships, to "win" a free plot in the Valdosta cemetery.
And if you want to know about that reward and the "winningest" team in America, "Must Win" is a must-read.


Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is the newest project by comedy frontrunner Tina Fey (30 Rock, Saturday Night Live, Mean Girls) and Robert Carlock (Friends, 30 Rock, Saturday Night Live) . Originally ordered straight-to-series by NBC in 2013, the series was sold to Netflix and picked up for an additional second season.
Firstly, I am a huge fan of sitcoms (obviously) and I absolutely love zany, unusual and quirky characters and premises. At first glance, the premise for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is entirely original and like nothing we have ever seen in what was originally intended as a half-hour primetime sitcom. The premise of a young female being kidnapped and kept hostage for years only to be rescued by an unlikely Black male hero mirrors the Ariel Castro kidnappings case, the old school underground bunker and extremely religious Richard Wayne Gary Wayne may be likened to the Amish trend. Even the show's theme songs is a copy of all those viral news clips featuring black people giving hilarious recounts of events, only to be auto-tuned and re-edited into a somewhat annoying yet catchy tune.
While all these factors would appear to create a completely original show, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is not original. At all. The show literally is a re-telling of Will Ferrell's Christmas comedy Elf. An optimistic, positive and childish individual leaves the life they have been accustomed to start anew in New York. Think about it, how many TV shows and films follow the same fish-out-of-water premise we have seen before? How many times have these individuals landed in the mean streets of New York? If you've seen ABC's short lived sitcom Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23, you've basically seen Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. An optimistic woman (June/Kimmy) moves to (you guessed it) New York to have a fresh start! But wait, there's more! Both Kimmy and June move into apartments with shady roommates who have ulterior motives against our protagonists. In Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Titus, an extremely camp gay black man (aka Luther) is struggling to become a broadway star who tells Kimmy to leave New York and to go back to Indiana because of how tough New York is (just like Chloe told June to leave New York in DTTBIA23).
"Kimmy Schmidt is transported forward in time from the year 1900 to 2015 and must start life over while trying to come to terms to modern society.
"Kimmy Schmidt comes from an obscure village in an Eastern European country and starts life over in New York".
For the first four episodes, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt depends on jokes which are so insignificant and predictable, the show struggles to live up to its potential. However, all is not lost! From episode five, in which Kimmy is visited by Cyndee, one of her fellow former mole-women, the flashbacks to Kimmy's time in the bunker, her interactions with Cyndee who is dating her middle-school crush Brandon and clearly hasn't made any attempts to move on with her life, breathes fresh air into the show. We then begin to realise how different Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt can be. How unbreakable her spirit truly is, how innocent her train of thought is, such as her relationship with illegal immigrant/mathematician Dong. Plus, Kimmy has a boldness which she doesn't even know she posess and inspiring she is not only to others, but also herself! The season finale is also noteworthy due to Tina Fey's guest starring role in what can only be described as an low-key spoof of the O.J. Simpson trial. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt shines when it deviates from predictable sitcom jokes and tropes and instead delves head first into its unique premise. Unfortunately, the first four episodes are dire but it does get better! I promise! Luckily for us, we now have the power of streaming so I recommend you skip those episodes to save yourself from the second hand embarrassment.
It is only when the show focuses more on life in the bunker and how Kimmy has moved on while also placing focus on the other mole-women, Kimmy's step-father and half-sister and the criminal trial of Richard Wayne Gary Wayne does the show truly become unbreakable!
