It WOULDN'T Take Much: Markets COULD IMPLODE!
by FutureMoneyTrends.com | FMT News
National polls will tell you which candidate has more support in general, but in the U.S., each and every citizen does not vote on a national level, but on a state-by-state level. In other words, if one resides in California, they will influence which candidate will win in their state alone.
This might create a situation where the popular vote, which is the candidate who gets the most total votes, does not become president.
John Quincy Adams in 1824, Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, Benjamin Harrison in 1888, George W. Bush in 2000, and Donald Trump in 2016 all won despite losing in the popular vote.
This system, where each resident can only influence locally, is called the electoral college, and it is only practiced in the United States, even though surveys show that between 60% and 80% of Americans don't approve of it.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS WAY OF CHOOSING A POLITICAL LEADER?
This system is based on the number of congressmen that serve in the House of Representatives.
Each state also gets to send two senators to the Senate.
Here's how this works in real life: in Texas, there are just over 25M residents, so it has 36 congressmen in the House. A state like Vermont is tiny, with less than 650,000 residents, so it has one congressman. The way the electoral college works is Texas gets 36 votes for each congressman and two for its Senators, so it's worth 38 votes in Tuesday's elections, compared with Vermont's 1 congressman + 2 Senators, which gets them 3 votes on Tuesday.
This is just one example. What this does is make it so that each vote is not equal to another due to the number of residents each delegate ends up representing.
Take Oregon, which will vote for Biden. It is worth seven votes. Its population is 4.2M, so it means each delegate is in charge of 600,000 voters (4,200,000 / 7 = 600,000). In other words, every 600,000 people are worth one vote. In red-voting Montana, there are 1.07M residents, which influence three votes, so every 356,000 voters are worth a delegate. This makes their votes more valuable.
Swing states: in areas that are known for changing their minds between Democrats and Republicans, therefore, the two candidates campaign, rally, blow their ad budget, and put in the effort, whereas in states they are comfortably in the lead in or have no prayer of winning, they would not spend a second.
In 2016, in New York, a blue state, 2.8M people voted for Trump, but since Hillary got 4.5M votes, those people's political opinions got buried.
This system goes back to the early part of the United States, when it made more sense, but it seems to be inefficient for the 21st century.

SÃO JOSE DOS CAMPOS – Widerøe and Embraer have celebrated yet another tremendous milestone in the regional jet industry.
The first E190-E2 has been officially delivered to Widerøe in a ceremony that was characterized by an energetic crowd, a proud group of executives from both the airline and the manufacturer, and an ambiance that was turned on with the tunes of typical Brazilian songs.

The ceremony began at 10:15 local time at the manufacturer's facility in Sao Jose dos Campos, about an hour north of Sao Paulo.

Following a few remarks from the ceremony's host, in both Portuguese and English, the ceremony began.
To the tunes of one of Brazil's most iconic songs, "Coisa Mais Linda" (Prettiest Thing), the E190-E2 was slowly towed into position, sparking up the excitement among the thousands of workers who excitingly saw their product in all its glory.
Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, Embraer President & CEO, remarked, "When we launched this program in 2013, we said we'd deliver the first plane in 2018. Here we are, on time, handing out the first E190-E2 to Widerøe."
Up next, the airline's CEO, Stein Nielsen, admitted that it is "a pleasure to be, once again, part of the Embraer family."
According to him, Widerøe operated the EMB-120 Brasilia many years ago, and that today, together with Embraer, they are making history with this "new, beautiful aircraft."
"Working with Embraer has been a pleasure," Nielsen added. "Despite our cultural differences, we have worked together as one team."
"I want to thank Embraer for this fantastic plane," he said. "We are excited and eager to get our hands on several more of the Embraer E190-E2."
Three E190-E2s will join Widerøe's fleet in the upcoming months. According to the airline, one plane will be delivered in April, a second in May, and the last in June.
The new jet will fly alongside Widerøe's fleet of 43 Dash 8 aircraft, offering additional capacity and the potential to launch new routes across Scandinavia and Europe.
Following Nielsen's remarks, the event sparked up with the tunes of a mix of Brazilian songs, including the traditional 'Brazil (La La La La)', which simultaneously launched a beautiful dance choreography performed by all the staff.
To the tunes of "I believe I can fly" and "Brasil", the ecstatic @embraer staff danced a coreography as the keys of the plane were delivered to its new owner.

After a couple of minutes of high-energy dancing and very sparkling music, the crowd gave way to two E2 program employees who proudly carried the keys to the new plane.
The two smiling employees climbed to the top of the stage, where Embraer's Paulo Cesar and John Slattery (President, CEO of Embraer Commercial Airplanes), together with Stein Nielsen and a few other Widerøe executives, happily awaited for the handover of the very first E2 plane.
A very ecstatic CEO finds it hard to control his excitement for what he calls a tremendous achievement.

Paulo Cesar found it hard to contain his excitement. As the vast crowd of Embraer staff invaded the surroundings of the stage, the CEO started jumping asking his employees to follow his lead. It was a very emotional moment for everyone involved.
The ceremony concluded with a countdown, the moment when Widerøe accepted the keys of its newest plane, and the first jet to join a fleet of turboprops.
The E2 Changes Widerøe's Landscape
"The E190-E2 represents a big step for Widerøe," told the airline's CEO to Airways.
Even though the airline has been a prolific operator of Bombardier Dash 8 planes on flights as short as eight minutes, Nielsen is convinced that on some longer routes in which more capacity is needed, the E2 family of jets offers his airline the perfect ingredients for Widerøe's "right-sizing strategy."
Nielsen admitted having been approached by Bombardier and Mitsubishi, though he confirmed that neither of these manufacturers offers the right size of planes for Widerøe's expansion.
"We are always willing to take a challenge," he said.
"What we see in some of our routes, is that we need new technologies and more capacity. Especially more capacity than what our Q400s have to offer."
Entry into Service of the first @Embraer E190-E2: @FlyWideroe will have low utilization of the plane until mid-August when all 3 planes are delivered.
John Slattery (EMB CEO) says he is delivering a robust plane with over 20 million hours of experience in the E1 program. pic.twitter.com/15kw3evxQp
Nielsen also revealed that he intends to "remain under the radar" in Norway, citing the fierce low-cost competition that reigns in that part of the world.
"We have Ryanair and Norwegian in our region," he said. With the E2, Widerøe is staying away from these airline's area of exploitation.
Each Widerøe E190-E2 comes equipped with 114 seats at a 29-inch seat pitch, which will feature a two-degree reclining option.
The cabin is laid out in the typical E-Jet 2-2 configuration and comes with tablet holders as well as separate power outlets.
According to its CEO, @FlyWideroe will deploy the @embraer E190-E2 on routes of up to 2 hours of flight time.
The 29" seat pitch, albeit tight, is enough for such short-timed trips, he said. #flywideroeE2 #E2profithunter #EmbraerStories pic.twitter.com/NzSWKWV6Mf
According to Nielsen, the planes are ready to be equipped with in-flight WiFi. However, the airline is waiting until a new high-speed solution is developed by Panasonic to have it installed on the aircraft.
Widerøe claims that they aim to offer high-speed connectivity of as much as 250mbps, allowing customers to stream movies and TV shows via Netflix while in the air.
On top of this, Widerøe will offer buy-on-board catering to its customers on flights longer than 1.5 hours, according to Catharina Solli, the airline's Public Relations Manager.
Ever seen how an emergency exit looks like when opened up?
Here it is. #flywideroeE2 #E2profithunter #EmbraerStories pic.twitter.com/WPkNm2FPYH
The new E2 jets will replace the Q400 on routes that require more capacity, more speed, and increased cost efficiencies.
"Currently, our longest route takes about 2.5 hours on the Q400," said Nielsen. "With the E2, we'll further develop those routes by increasing capacity and dropping the flying time to under 2 hours."
Entry Into Service (EIS) Challenges
According to Embraer Commercial Airplanes CEO, John Slattery, he expects "a far more robust aircraft to enter into service than any other manufacturer in the world."
"We have 20 million hours of experience with the E1 family," he says. "We took all that tacit knowledge and experience to put this plane into service."
When asked about Widerøe's history of operating only turboprop airplanes and the likelihood of experiencing EIS woes, Stein Nielsen admitted feeling confident that the plane won't have any problems. And should it occur, "we have a big Embraer team in Norway waiting for the plane and ready to work," he said.

Slattery added that he couldn't be any happier to have such a proficient launch customer. "This is an airline that operates inside the arctic circle. They gave a philosophy and DNA of making things happen," he stated.
"When you select your launch customer, you deeply need a partner that will make sure that the early issues are ironed out. We don't anticipate any issues with the EIS of this plane. But having an airline with the unique capability of operating the way they do, it's a reassurance for us."
Nielsen then added that Widerøe's capabilities and experiences in the MRO sector would allow them to handle complex situations with this EIS.
And should all things go well, Nielsen hinted a potential interest in becoming the E175-E2's launch customer as well. "Right now, we're on a good EIS with the E190-E2. So we'll have to come back here and see if we can be the launch customer of the E175-E2."
The aircraft will fly away from São Paulo to Recife, where it will then continue onwards to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands before making a stop at Aberdeen around four hours later.
The aircraft will then have to wait in Aberdeen to receive its ETOPS permission to travel across the North Sea before landing at Bergen Flesland airport.
This is how "going to work" would look like if you were an @Embraer E190-E2 Captain.
Check out the view from the Captain's seat. Truly outstanding sights with those tremendously large screens. #flywideroeE2 #E2profithunter #EmbraerStories pic.twitter.com/cArfsckn1e
Several Widerøe Q400 pilots will be offered an upgrade in training onto the E190-E2 as no doubt; this aircraft is going to be the one that pilots will want to fly on, especially with the high level of demand there is for Nordic pilots around the area.

Driving around on Curacao with a friend of us, he gave us the tip to have lunch or dinner at Pop's place. He knows that we like Surinamese food, so he thought that we would like the food from Curacao too. On the 2nd of January we went to the restaurant to see of they were open, but they were not. Two days later they were open, so we went there to have lunch.
Pop's place has delicious local meals. The restaurant looks very colorful, like a lot of places on Curacao, with some tables made of big wooden cable rolls.
The menu is easy, with som chicken, meat and fish meals. Next to that they also have some sandwiches.
We were both into some meat, but I had the idea that I wouldn't like the goat. So I chose the Karni Stoba (stewed meat) and Martin choose the Kabritu (stewed goat meat). We both choose the brown rice with beans and some baked banana. The food was really good, the meat was tender meat and the rice wasn't dry like we had a couple of times with the white rice we got in other restaurants. Our little boy only wanted some bread with egg, but that tasted good too.
You can find Pop's place at the Caracasbaai. On one side you see the beautiful sea and little beach, but on the other side you see some kind of ugly thing in the water what looks like a little oil rig. So don't look too much to that side, because the beach looks really nice.
After this time we went to Pop's place twice, one time for dinner and one time for lunch. We took a fresh slice of fish for the dinner, a Dorade this time.
And the second time for another lunch, we really wanted to try the seafood soup. The seafood soup was delicious!, filled with a lot of seafood and with a great taste.
If you want to try local food, then I recommend you to go to Pop's place. The food has a good price and the quality is awesome. The people who serve you are nice and helpful and the location is good too.


Stefanowski's campaign ignored the urban vote in the hope of overcoming it with majorities in suburban and rural areas. However, his proposal to eliminate or phase out the state income tax did not help him win many votes among suburbanites who believed that it was either impractical, or that it would only add to already high property taxes. Obviously, phasing out the income tax did not gain many votes in the inner cities whose residents, including college students, are largely exempt.
Stefanowski could not even carry suburban Fairfield, a town of 75,000 that he lost by a wider margin than the statewide percentage. As a Fairfield resident I was surprised that the Republican candidate did not even bother to campaign here. There were no visits or rallies and few lawn signs. There was no constant stream of mailing pieces. It appeared as if he had just written off not just Fairfield but all of prosperous Fairfield County.
In a recent op-ed in the Connecticut Post, Tim Herbst, a Trumbull politician who was defeated by Stefanowski in the Republican primary, faulted Stefanowski and the Republicans for failing to muster a ground game to match the Democrat record-setting numbers.
There was truth in Herbst's assessment, but no one was more responsible for the Republican defeat than Herbst himself. His refusal to accept the convention's nominee, and his decision to enter the primary did much to allow an inexperienced, wealthy outsider like Stefanowski to win the primary with only a small percentage of the vote.
If Herbst had thrown his support to Danbury mayor Mark Boughton, the convention's nominee, Boughton would likely have defeated Stefanowski in the primary. Even though Stefanowski garnered a record number of votes in the election, I believe that Boughton would have done better. He was an experienced Connecticut politician who would have gained more support from Republican leaders who still play a pivotal role in getting out the vote. He would probably have kept Danbury from favoring Lamont, and the full and active support of Herbst would certainly have helped in the Fairfield County suburbs.
Stefanowski is a millionaire businessman, and he couldn't help looking like a millionaire businessman even if he insisted on calling himself Bob. His desire to bring sound business practices to state government fell largely on deaf ears, especially since he failed to demonstrate how such reforms would benefit the average citizen.
No matter how sound your ideas may be, you must win the election to have any chance of implementing them. What's the good of having good ideas if you never get a chance to implement. Stefanowski's Democrat opponent, the far-wealthier Ned Lamont from Greenwich, the wealthiest town in the state, does not look like a businessman. His strategy was to appeal to the Democrat base made up of public service unions, depressed cities, and suburban women upset about the supposed threat to women's rights posed by the likes of Trump and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
It's true that Stefanowski supported Trump but he had none of the President's charisma, moxie, and name recognition, essential equalities for a political outsider to win without the support of party regulars. Democrat Lamont was equally uninspiring, but he had a united party behind him.

Language Learning Resources
Effective Living > Communications
Summary. The Language Learning Resource Group provides information about: software, services, media, technologies, organizations, tools, equipment, and educational resources for language learning. Because Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) can expedite the process of Language Acquisition, many of the tools here are computer based. While our emphasis is on free and open-source public resources, we also have information about resources that are commercially available for sale.
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). "Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is an approach to language teaching and learning in which computer technology is used as an aid to the presentation, reinforcement and assessment of material to be learned, usually including a substantial interactive element." [Source: Wikipedia]
Language Acquisition. "Language acquisition is the process by which the language capability develops in a human. First language acquisition concerns the development of language in children, while second language acquisition focuses on language development in adults as well. Historically, theories and theorists may have emphasized either nature or nurture (see Nature versus nurture) as the most important explanatory factor for acquisition. Most researchers, however, acknowledge the importance of both biology and environment. One hotly debated issue is whether the biological contribution includes language-specific capacities, often described as Universal Grammar. For fifty years linguists Noam Chomsky and the late Eric Lenneberg argued for the hypothesis that children have innate, language-specific abilities that facilitate and constrain language learning." [Source: Wikipedia]
Benefits. There are many benefits of language learning:
The learning of other languages and cultures helps create opportunities for dialog and unity among people.
Language provides a context, framework, and system for understanding the world around us. Understanding the methodology of various language systems can help expand a person's mental acuity and understanding of the world around them.
Knowledge of languages can open up a door of understanding. For example, it is common for the names of places to have meanings. The Chinese city of Shanghai (上海) combines the chinese characters for on or above (上) and sea (海). Having an understanding of languages can help a person correctly pronounce the names of people and places.

Ian Wells Presents- Hitting the Bullseye
If like me you have been waiting for Bullseye to show up in Daredevil on Netflix since the very first episode you will be glad the wait is finally over with his arrival in season 3. Also like me you will be glad to hear it has been well worth the wait. Unlike Iron Fist season 2 Daredevil has kept its thirteen episode run time. This allows for Bullseye's origin story to run parallel with the creators take on 'Born Again'. I mean what better way to improve on the iconic story line by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli by including Daredevil's best hand to hand antagonist. Rather than do an out and out review again, at this point I'm only eight episodes in first I want to talk a bit about finally seeing an adaptation of 'Born Again' then talk about the history of Bullseye.
'Born Again' is the one Daredevil story and story from comics in general I can recommend to anyone. If you are a Daredevil who has never read it, then what is wrong with you? It might sound cheesy to call it a gripping read, a real page turner but that's what it is. Frank Miller at his finest backed up by the beautiful brilliance of Mazzucchelli's art. What wrongs well for the story too is that even though it is Miller returning to a character he shaped massively after five years at DC it is a self contained story. Yes it is based heavily on the dynamic between Daredevil and Kingpin established during his run on the series but the intricacies of the story all happen in these issues. Many argue which is Miller and Mazzucchelli's better collaboration between this and Batman Year One. I love 'Year One' but I would pick 'Born Again' all day long. Its just a better rounded story. 'Year One' is a simple imagining of Batman which proved popular and most of it has worked its way into wider pop culture. 'Born Again' is the deconstruction and reassembly of the original Lee/Everett creation and Miller's own run on the character to a lesser extent. I always thought 'Year One' came first because Mazzucchelli as an artist seems more established on 'Born Again'.
The art seems more detailed, more gritty. Reading it and taking in his visuals very much feels like you are walking through the real New York rather than the aesthetically pleasing one from other Marvel comics. In the late 90's early 2000's Miller's writing took a lot of criticism, often mocked for being a caricature of himself. But when you go back to 'Born Again' it is so well told. It has some absolutely brilliant quotes in it too. When ever any of these lines made it into season 3 it just made the fanboy needle hit the top mark. I read before the season debuted that they creators didn't see it as an out and out adaptation of 'Born Again' and so far that has been the case. The comic came about from a writer wanting to reconstruct and examine what makes a hero on a character he has already had great success with. The Netflix series is already based on a solid foundation. Daredevil has been the stand out of he Marvel Netflix universe with two solid seasons so far and being integral to The Defenders series. I think everyone who has worked on Daredevil for Netflix has built up enough good credit to be able to do their version of events and obviously they need to pad it to thirteen episodes . Which brings us to Bullseye.
Bullseye was such a fundamental part of Frank Miller's tenure on Daredevil but he made his first appearance long before the young scribe from Vermont took the writing reigns of the man without fear. Bullseye made his debut in Daredevil #131 by Marv Wolfman and …. With Wolfman being a star writer he was always going to be a well crafted character not a throwaway villain. Right from the off Bullseye has always been a match for Daredevil physically. His maniacal side may even give him the edge over DD when push comes to shove. This is why I said Bullseye is Daredevil's top hand to hand opponent. It could be argued that Kingpin is his top adversary but their rivalry is fought in different ways. They did in fact fight in the 'Born Again' comic, a fight Kingpin easily won and their fight at the end of season one was brutal. But rarely do they resort to violence. It is often said that Bullseye is to Daredevil what Joker is to Batman. I would argue Bullseye is a far more formidable foe than Joker. I've never felt Joker is a physical match for Batman. He more or less plays with his psychological status and hits him when he's least expecting it. The match up between Bullseye and Daredevil is perfectly handled in the episode where he finally succumbs to Kingpins machinations.
We had only previously seen Bullseye in action whilst armed in the line of duty for the FBI. This scene showed his prowess and his ability to make anything a weapon as it took place in the newspaper HQ. The scene was tense and enjoyable in equal measure. Right up there with Marvel Netflix now infamous hallway fights. Going back to the Batman/Joker comparison Batman has had many defeats in his career from other antagonists apart from Joker, Bane breaking his back springs to mind. Whilst Kingpin did orchestrate the events of 'Born Again' and has been behind most of the events of the Netflix series, Bullseye is single-handedly responsible for the two biggest deaths in Daredevils world. As well has adapting the story to include Bullseye some changes have also been made to his back story. The biggest being his time as an FBI agent. It is a welcome change as it helps set the show in reality. Lets face it has anyone ever met a colourful hit man for hire? Also it adds to the story that we get to watch his decent as Kingpin pulls the strings.
Fans of Daniel Ways mini series 'Bullseye's Greatest Hits' will be pleased to see elements of this make its way into various episodes. At the time of writing I am eight episodes in and am sad to report there is no blue costume… yet. He did wear double denim in one episode, that may be as close as we get. Another big change is in his relationship to Kingpin. In the comics it was always strictly business. At times Kingpin sought the services of other assassins when Bullseye wasn't up to scratch. In this show Bullseye has had metal insecurities from a young age. Kingpin sees first hand how skilled he is and then exploits these mental weaknesses to mold him into a pawn of his own. Bullseye sees Kingpin as a guiding light in his otherwise dark world and this provides a really deeper meaning to their working relationship to anything we got in the comics. It reaches an emotional climax when at one point they embrace!
Like I said I am really happy to finally have Bullseye as part of the Daredevil Netflix universe. It has been worth the wait I I am really enjoying how they are treating the character so far. In some f the earlier episodes Wilson Bethal's portrayal of Bullseye was the most engaging element of the series. I hope he isn't a one season villain. He needs to keep appearing, making Daredevil's life hell. They way the character has been handled and brought into reality could even see him in future Punisher episodes. If he appears further down the road there are still plenty of comics to draw inspiration from. There's the time Daredevil left him to die only to end up paralyzed. The time he got a tumor and saw everyone as Daredevil and went on a killing spree. Lastly there is Daredevil #191 in which he and Daredevil partake in a game of Russian roulette. As I mentioned I'm only eight episodes in maybe I will be seeing this stuff sooner than I think. If I do I'm sure it'll hit the target.

Tesla is bringing chrome delete to Model 3
Fred Lambert | Aug 25 2020 - 3:34 pm PT
Tesla is bringing its chrome delete design first introduced in Model Y to Model 3, based on a new application in China.
On the Model 3, Tesla put chrome on the trim around the windows, on the Autopilot cameras, and on the door handles.
Some owners would wrap the trim with a darker color to create what's called a "chrome delete."
Surprisingly, when bringing the Model Y to production, Tesla made the chrome delete standard on the electric SUV, which is based on the Model 3.
Now it looks like Tesla is bringing the same design to Model 3.
The automaker applied to the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for a new version of the made-in-China Model 3, with the only apparent change being the chrome delete:
While this doesn't necessarily mean that the change is coming to Model 3 vehicles built in the US, it's likely the case.
Lately, Tesla seems to be implementing changes in China first, and we see them in the vehicles built in Fremont factory soon after.
Earlier this year, Tesla upgraded Model 3 vehicles with new wireless phone chargers and USB-C ports in China, and a month later, we saw the same features in Model 3s built in the Fremont factory.
Of course, this is a personal preference, but after driving the Model Y and seeing the trim in person, I really liked it.
I liked it so much that I ordered one of those do-it-yourself chrome delete kits for my own Model 3.
Personally, I think it's a big improvement. I can't speak too much about how easy it is since my friend Math who is much more talented than I am with this stuff did it for me.
According to him, it takes some patience, but it is not too complex to achieve a decent result like you see above.
The Tesla Model 3 is the first vehicle built on …


I thought her bedside manner was very good and she was very personal. As I was walking out the door, it did feel like the whole appointment was very quick, but I liked her. I will go again and continue to give her a try!
She was great. One of the nice things about the office was that the nurse and front desk people were pleasant. A rarity in my experience.
I really liked the Dr. Yousefi and the nurse who brought me into the exam room. The only issue during the appointment is that it was unclear which receptionist I should check in with. The office is shared between a dermatologist and a chiropractor, and I didn't realize that the receptionist on the left was with the chiropractor and the receptionist on the right was with dermatology. I ended up checking in with the wrong receptionist, which created unnecessary confusion. It would be great if there was a sign, or if someone had explained the situation to me when I arrived.

"Learned Who I Am"
I was actually working probably about four, five part-time jobs and I was trying to juggle everything to earn enough money to support myself along with, you know, kind of an addictive lifestyle that I fell into. My mom had passed from bone cancer and I had lost my best friend to a car accident. So, I didn't really know how to deal with a lot of the loss that I was going through.
I started showing up late to work. I started slacking. All my money that I was saving up to buy things for my house, food, all that stuff, it was just going to drugs. And before I realized it, I couldn't stop using it. I started trying to wean myself down. I started trying to not use it anymore and I just got sick, I got cold, I started feeling like my back was broken, like I was dying. And I just, I just couldn't stop anymore and that's when I start talking to my father and asking for help.
When we heard about Narconon we heard that it was a lot more practical than, than just a group therapy but actually life skills and the ability to build the character up so that they wouldn't be deficient in those areas where I was weak in, and I wouldn't have to make those choices again.
The staff were very helpful, along with a lot of the students that were going through the same steps. They helped me get out of my shell that I had been living in. And when I finished the sauna programme I felt great. I felt years younger. I didn't feel polluted, I didn't feel groggy. I felt energetic. I, I felt like my body was right. I felt like the old me.
And the greatest thing I got out of the programme was: Learning who I was and not having to hide behind anything. I didn't have to use drugs to feel comfortable. I didn't have to use drugs to fit in. I'm my own person and I learned to be who I am and there's not a greater gift in the world that you can get, to learn who you are and be comfortable with yourself.

What is the best way to handle a large time difference, such as 7 or 8 hours, between managers and remote employees?
Working with multiple time zones can always be a challenge in finding times for the team to communicate with each other and you. Two key things can help in this.
Re-define how we identify work. It cannot be defined as a regular work day such as 8AM-5PM. It may have to be a 7-4PM day or 9-6PM, depending on time zones, to find some hours where everyone can work together, or communicate with you. It can also be key days of the week where everyone has to be available during unique times for "team communication" opportunities.
Identify and communicate the crossover times that work best for inter-team communication. Find blocks of 2 hours each day, between those 7-8 hour time differences, where everyone needs to be available. Schedule team calls or one-on-one calls during these times.
You may have a sliding scale schedule that lists times when everyone on the team is available, as well as times where a couple of other time zones may have crossover work hours with each other. By setting these "time to work" guidelines, you set expectations on when people can contact their coworkers, and you successfully, and when they can expect responses.
As well, set expectations on when people can look for responses on their email communications. Is it within 24 hours of when the other person received it? Or maybe its within 24 hours of when they received it starting at 8AM their time (since they most likely won't read an email at night).
By setting up these guidelines, you will help eliminate frustrations on delayed response times due to time zone differences, as well as make it easy for each person to know when they can reach their teammates and you.


I was referred to you by another attorney and recently called and setup an appointment at The McShane Firm. After my consultation I was recommended to another lawyer in your firm. I am confident with your credentials but what about the other attorneys? Are they DUI experts as well?
One thing I am very proud of is my reputation as the preeminent DUI attorney in PA. A reputation like this only comes through an extraordinary level of commitment, experience and knowledge. Many clients come to me through referrals and I see this as the utmost testament to my qualifications. When another lawyer refers their friend or family member to me, he or she is trusting me with someone very important. I take that bond and trust very seriously.
However, since I treat each case with dedication and the highest level of attention, I can only take on a limited number of clients at a given time. This is why I have hand-picked the best team of DUI attorneys in PA to represent The McShane Firm because I know it is my name and reputation that is at stake in each and every case.
The McShane Firm is synonymous with dedication, pride and expertise. We are always prepared well beyond what is actually required. In fact, all of the attorneys that represent our firm have gone through many rigorous DUI seminars and training sessions to keep them on top. I often highlight my own achievements in and DUI qualifications but I can safely say that Attorneys Tim Barrouk and Shawn Dorward, all have résumés that are unmatched in Pennsylvania. Theses attorneys represent the values and reputation of The McShane Firm and you are in well-qualified hands with any one of them.

Dick Clark Productions, Twitter to Live Stream Red Carpets from Billboard Music Awards, AMAs & ACM Awards
Following on the announcement of their partnership at the Golden Globes, Dick Clark Productions and Twitter have teamed up again to live-stream red-carpet programming from three upcoming awards shows.
The companies said Monday that they will live stream the red-carpet preshows for the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards, and the 2017 American Music Awards.
In addition, Twitter will live stream the seventh annual Streamy Awards in partnership with DCP and Tubefilter, set to air in fall 2017.
The live preshows will include talent interviews and incorporate Twitter conversations into the programs along with questions from Twitter users. More details will be announced on each show at a later date.
The ACM Awards are set for April 2, while the BBMAs will be handed out May 21 and the AMAs in November. The Streamy Awards are set for fall 2017.
The programming, produced by Dick Clark Productions and DCP partners, will be available around the world and will feature "TV-style" commercial ad spots.
DCP and Twitter previously partnered with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association on an exclusive, live official preshow at the Jan. 8 Golden Globe Awards that drew 2.7 million unique viewers.
"Twitter is where conversations about award shows happen live," said Anthony Noto, chief operating officer at Twitter. "After a successful collaboration with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Dick Clark Productions on our exclusive Golden Globes red-carpet show, we're excited to partner again with DCP to bring more live programming to Twitter."
Added DCP president Mike Mahan: "We are thrilled with the success of the Golden Globes red carpet pre-show and look forward to working with Twitter on additional shows. By offering a unique online viewing opportunity, we are able to expand the audience experience and generate deeper, more compelling conversation."

Q: Nativescript-google-maps-sdk: mapView.zoom not changing zoom I am trying to change the zoom level after clicking on a marker. I've tried to redefine the zoom inside the onMarkerEvent() :
onMarkerEvent(args) {

    if (args.eventName === 'markerInfoWindowTapped') {
        this.routerExtenstions.navigate([`../item/${args.marker.userData.id}`], { relativeTo: this.activatedRoute });

    } else if (args.eventName === 'markerSelect') {
        this.zoom = 17;
        this.mapView.zoom = this.zoom;
    }

}
However, the zoom is not changing.
On map.component.tns.html I have:
   <MapView #mapView [latitude]="latitude" [longitude]="longitude"
            [zoom]="zoom" [minZoom]="minZoom" [maxZoom]="maxZoom" [bearing]="bearing"
            [tilt]="tilt" i-padding="50,50,50,50" [padding]="padding" (mapReady)="onMapReady($event)"
            (markerSelect)="onMarkerEvent($event)" (markerInfoWindowTapped)="onMarkerEvent($event)"
            (coordinateTapped)="onCoordinateTapped($event)"
            (cameraChanged)="onCameraChanged($event)" (mapAnimationsEnabled)="true"
            (cameraMove)="onCameraMove($event)">
    </MapView>

Any ideas on how to fix this? I feel that maybe be something basic I am forgetting.
Thanks!

A: To adjust the zoom you might have better luck by changing the mapView properties directly, you can do so by accessing the MapView through the args inside of the onMarkerEvent function.
Doing args.object.zoom = 17; should do the trick.

To introduce the problem of the not-all, we can take as our point of departure an interesting contrast. While theoreticians of femininity in the 1960s and 70s gave a privileged place to the notion of the woman's solitude, of her space, as indicated Virginia Woolf's title A Room of One's Own, Lacan, on the contrary, chose to end his article on the "Propos Directifs," not with the image of the woman alone but rather with that of the salon, the congregation of women. The salonnieres rather than the room of one's own: this tension gives us a clue to elaborate the problem of the not-all and also to define the meaning that solitude may have for a woman. When Lacan writes that a woman's partner is solitude, it is not only the term "partner" that invites theorization. If writers have been telling us for centuries what a central role solitude plays in femininity, Lacan's remark invites us to give an analytic sense to the term rather than to accept it as a given.
So, to begin our investigation, let's take two salons, or rather, one salon and one bedroom. The salon is that of the logician and philosopher Moritz Schlick, one of the founders of the Vienna Circle, and the bedroom is that of Mae West, the American star of theatre and cinema. In Schlick's living room we find a group of thinkers that includes Wittgenstein, who are meeting to discuss the meaning of the concept "All," the universal, in logic. And in Mae West's bedroom we find a group of sailors waiting for the star. So, both rooms are full: we are hardly in the register of the isolation of the room which is one's own.
Schlick's living room, the problem of quantification, of the "all" is tackled in the following way. They discuss the proposition "All the men in this room are wearing trousers." This sentence preoccupied the study group for many long hours of work. To say "All the men in this room are wearing trousers" supposes the existence of a completed totality of men who are wearing trousers. According to one view, the proposition is identified with an enumeration, that is, a list such as "Wittgenstein is wearing trousers and Schlick is wearing trousers and...." Clearly, in Schlick's living room, it would have been possible to carry out this sort of enumeration, but what would one do to interpret propositions about everything in the world? We remember, indeed, that if the Russellian theory of propositional functions is accepted, the proposition 'All in this room are wearing trousers' does not take as its subject all the thinkers there present, but rather everything that there is in the whole universe. Since the proposition is interpreted as "For all possible values of x, if x is a man in this room, then x is wearing trousers." So the initial proposition immediately transports us beyond the Schlick household and confronts us with the impossibility of enumerating all the objects in the universe. A different perspective, perhaps a happier one, involves interpreting the proposition less as an implicit enumeration than as a relation between concepts, that is in our example, a relation between the concept "to be a man" and the concept "to wear trousers." The idea would be to see if there is a link between the two such as implication: if so, one wouldn't have to bother going round to examine Wittgenstein, Schlick, Carnap, etc. But this brings us back to nothing less than the linguistic problems that the appeal to logic was supposed to avoid since concepts and general terms are signifiers. It introduces shifts of meaning and transferences in logic: it is sure that the real question at the Schlick's was whether it was him or his wife who was wearing the trousers. And to determine whether the sexual life of Wittgenstein allowed one to subsume him under the concept "being a man."

Leading airplane manufacturer, Boeing, has unveiled the first fully assembled Boeing 777x- the world's longest passenger jetliner.
The launch, earlier scheduled for last Wednesday was delayed due to the Ethiopian Airlines B737Max plane that crashed in Ethiopia, killing all 157 souls on-board. In the aftermath of the disaster , the second in five months, airlines in many parts of the world have grounded the B737Max 8 and 9 fleet, putting Boeing in crisis. Pictures posted to Twitter show the huge jet, which has foldable wing tips, inside a hangar at the Boeing plant at a low-key event only attended by Boeing employees.
