Abu Dhabi Food Festival
The annual Gourmet Abu Dhabi festival gets a bit of a makeover for 2015 and will now be one of several events under the umbrella of the Abu Dhabi Food Festival. The good news is that the format for Gourmet remains the same (think visits from Michelin-starred chefs, workshops and gourmet dinners) but in 2015, there will also be Emirati Kitchen, a chance to meet noted local chefs, try local cuisine and attend workshops. The UAE's only female celebrity chef, Khulood Atiq, will head up that event. Also worth adding to your diary is Street Feast, which will take place in the city, Al Ain and Al Gharbia in the Western Region. Cuisines from a variety of countries will be served in food trucks at all the locations.

But Robbie Williams has remained one of the most enigmatic pop stars of the past 20 years. One thing's for sure, the former Take That singer's gig will be anything but boring.

Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge
A horde of 4x4s, trucks, rally cars and bikes do battle for five days and race across the Liwa Desert and the Moreeb area of Abu Dhabi's Western Region and Empty Quarter. You'll need plenty of sunscreen and water if you're going along to watch, but the race is a breath-taking one as the competitors bounce over the capital's massive dunes.

What's On Awards
It's the most prestigious hospitality awards in Abu Dhabi, voted for by you. It's also the biggest knees up this side of Christmas. French eatery Bord Eau scooped Best Restaurant in 2014.

Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
You may have only just recovered from the 2014 F1 finale in which Brit Lewis Hamilton clinched his second world title with a breathless win in Abu Dhabi last November, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have this year's F1 weekend in your diary already. With drivers and crew members set to switch teams in the off-season, there'll be a whole new feel to the 2015 twilight race on Yas Island. As for the post-race concerts, there have been rumours that the Foo Fighters will play the UAE soon. Could the 2015 GP be their time?
Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Taxi: Yas Marina. yasmarinacircuit.com
The capital has big plans for Saadiyat Island. The Zayed National Museum is scheduled to open in 2016, and that'll be followed by Guggenheim in 2017. Before all that though it's the Louvre Abu Dhabi in 2015. Rumour has it the grand opening will be on National Day on December 2, but what we do know is that 300 works of art will be loaned to the new gallery, including Leonardo da Vinci's portrait Le Belle Ferronniere, and a self-portrait by Vincent Van Gogh.

Branding ou brand management (do inglês; em português, gestão de marcas) refere-se à gestão  da marca (em inglês, brand) de uma empresa, tais como seu nome, as imagens ou ideias a ela associadas, incluindo slogans, símbolos,  logotipos  e  outros elementos de identidade visual que a representam ou aos seus produtos e serviços.

Branding  também pode referir-se ao próprio trabalho ou ao conjunto de práticas e técnicas de construção e consolidação de uma marca no mercado. A construção de uma marca forte para um produto, uma linha de produtos ou de serviços é consequência de um relacionamento satisfatório com o mercado-alvo. Quando esta identificação positiva se torna forte o bastante, a marca passa a valer mais do que o próprio produto  oferecido.

O branding consiste não  apenas em ações de  marketing com o propósito de aumentar a exposição da marca  no mercado, mas também em ações internas na empresa, para  transmitir a imagem pretendida. Além disso, o branding tem também a finalidade de incrementar o brand equity, ou seja aumentar o valor monetário da marca, considerada como um ativo da empresa - e assim aumentar o valor da própria empresa. Esse trabalho é feito por especialistas em publicidade, comunicação social (jornalismo), design de comunicação ou por agências especializados em relações públicas, marketing, administração, semiótica, design gráfico, design de moda, arquitetura etc., que visam desenvolver positivamente a reputação de marcas, produtos e organizações e alinhá-las aos objetivos organizacionais e ao público almejado.

O que é marca?
A marca não se limita ao logotipo de uma empresa, aos elementos que compõem a identidade visual, tampouco ao produto/serviço oferecido por uma companhia. O conceito de marca representa o sentimento que o público tem ou cria em relação a um produto, serviço ou empresa. Portanto, em essência, trata-se da promessa de entrega de uma organização.

De acordo com Kotler, "Desenvolver uma marca forte é tanto uma arte quanto uma ciência. [...] Marcas fortes geram intensa fidelidade do consumidor - e sua essência é um excelente produto."

A marca é percebida de formas diferentes pelas pessoas, conforme suas crenças, culturas, contextos sociais, valores e realidades econômicas. Mas o principal fator que determina como uma pessoa percebe uma marca é a experiência que tiveram com ela. Ou seja, se um produto ou serviço de uma empresa atendeu ou não suas expectativas e necessidades.

Enquanto experiências ruins trazem como reflexo perda de engajamento com o público, queda na reputação e na receita da empresa, o contrário também é válido. Empresas com uma marca fortalecida, ganham, além de uma boa reputação consolidada, maior receita e engajamento, também conquistam  embaixadores da marca. Isto é, pessoas que, além de dar sempre preferência a comprar com aquela empresa, promovem seus produtos/serviços em seus círculos de relacionamentos, recomendando a empresa a outros clientes.

Esse é o motivo que explica a importância da boa gestão de marca.

Gestão de Marca
A gestão de marca é a atividade de criar, gerir e manter valor intangível para a empresa. Marcas bem geridas criam diferenciação clara entre elas e seus concorrentes, gerando atributos associados que as diferenciam e aumentam a percepção de valor. Ao construírem confiança e credibilidade, ganham a preferência do público, o que garante mais vendas, reputação e resultado.

Construir uma marca forte significa muito mais do que construir uma promessa de marca que é entregue pela experiência do produto. A estratégia da Marca deve ir além da publicidade e da comunicação, moldando e diferenciando todos os pontos de contato da jornada do consumidor. Do digital ao mundo real, da venda à experiência e principalmente na hora de ajudar o consumidor com um problema real. As melhores marcas, as de maior sucesso são completamente coerentes na gestão de todos seus ativos, de forma consistente, diferenciada, relevante e   proprietária.

Os ativos da Marca vão desde o seu nome, logo e slogan, até todo o seu universo visual e verbal (Cores, formas, tipografia, iconografia, gestos, rituais, cheiro, som, tom de voz, território de palavras e identidade fotográfica). Atualmente, a experiência digital de uma marca é também uma das formas de se criar um universo proprietário. Da jornada digital, ao UX (user-experience), movimento entre as telas, botões e movimento das interfaces também tentam criar algo único e diferenciado.

Quem vê de fora, a construção de uma marca parece algo simples. Implica a frequente, irritante e por vezes obsessiva repetição de uma afirmação simples, e muitas vezes extravagante, expressa por meio de uma frase atrativa "slogan", algumas cores e um logotipo distintivo, colocado mais ou menos ao acaso por todo o lado. Na verdade se olharmos com maior atenção, constatamos que o processo de construção não é tão simples. Existem muitos gêneros de marcas, de bens de grande consumo como a Coca-Cola, as marcas tradicionalmente divididas entre Marcas B2B (de empresa para empresa) e as Marcas B2C (de empresa para o consumidor); as marcas institucionais, etc. Com todas estas divisões e subdivisões, e outras ainda não mencionadas, não é de admirar que a Gestão de Marcas quando analisada de forma mais concreta seja extremamente complexa.

Não é fácil construir uma marca de sucesso, muitas marcas novas falham (morrem mesmo à nascença, ou prematuramente).  Assim a Gestão de Marca é acima de tudo a criação e a manutenção de confiança.  As melhores Marcas são geridas de forma completamente coerente, cada aspecto do que são e de como se relacionam reforçam a Marca. As melhores Marcas têm uma consistência que é construída e mantida por pessoas no interior da sua organização, totalmente absorvidas por aquilo que a Marca simboliza.

Segundo Wally Olins, uma espécie de "guru" do branding e autor do livro "A Marca", a gestão de marca pode ter onze diretrizes:

1ª: Os quatro vetores.  O modo mais claro de começar a compreender uma marca é olhar para ela, com atenção aos quatro vetores em que se manifesta:
 produto: aquilo que a organização faz ou vende
 ambiente: onde a organização faz ou vende o produto
 comunicação: o modo como a organização  diz às pessoas, a cada consumidor, aquilo que faz
 comportamento: o modo como cada pessoa que trabalha no interior da marca se comporta nas suas interações com outros indivíduos ou organizações

O significado comparativo de cada um destes vetores varia de acordo com a natureza da Marca.

2ª - Arquitetura da marca. A estrutura da marca tem três opções:
A primeira é a corporativa, onde se utiliza um nome e uma ideia visual para descrever tudo o que a organização faz (ex. Nokia). A segunda opção é a validada (endorsed), quando uma organização tem uma série de marcas, cada qual com o seu próprio nome e identidade (ex.: Grupo ACCOR e as marcas da cadeia, tais como Sofitel e Mercure). A terceira é a individualizada (branded), na qual cada unidade ou marca é projetada separadamente ao consumidor e é vista como sendo completamente independente, embora seja na realidade administrada por uma entidade que a gere, comercializa e distribui. (ex. Diageo que administra a marca Guiness)

3ª - Marca inventada, reinventada ou mudança de nome. Existe uma grande diferença entre as marcas inventadas e reinventadas. Quando se inventa uma nova marca, não existe negócio, ninguém trabalha para ela, começa-se literalmente de uma folha em branco; mas quando se reinventa uma marca as coisas são distintas: já existe uma estrutura, uma cultura, uma tradição, reputação. Assim nestes casos existe uma necessidade de a empresa se deslocar para um novo sentido: precisará de ser reinventada e reposicionada.

4ª - Qualidade do produto. Quando se lança ou relança determinada marca, é necessário ser muito claro acerca da qualidade do produto. Se o produto é o melhor que existe em termos de preço, qualidade e serviço, isso constitui um reforço para entrar na corrida. Porém, mesmo se o produto é o melhor entre os existentes, convém não ficar parado, porque certamente os concorrentes tentarão chegar perto. Finalmente, se o produto não for tão bom quanto os melhores, então é certo que não terá sucesso.

5ª - O interior e exterior. A regra elementar no marketing diz que o cliente final está em primeiro lugar. Se não for possível compreender e cativar o cliente final, tudo está perdido. Embora seja verdade que as marcas morrem se não tiverem clientes, também é verdade que as marcas que ofereçam um mau serviço são suicidas em potencial: seu próprio pessoal acabará por destruir a base de clientes. As marcas têm, assim, dois papéis: persuadir quem está fora a comprar e persuadir quem está dentro da organização a acreditar.

6ª - Diferenciadores ou ideias centrais. Um produto ou um serviço tem de ser "diferente": deve haver nele algo de invulgar, único. Por vezes, é com  o design que se cria a diferença, concebendo-se um produto mais bonito, mais leve, menor, mais fácil de utilizar ou mais atraente para um público específico (exemplo: as máquinas domésticas de café expresso).

7ª - Romper com o modelo. Por vezes torna-se necessário o aparecimento de um novo produto ou serviço que signifique uma rejeição às convenções  que rodeiam um negócio e que introduza algo inteiramente novo (ex: o surgimento da Apple, em 1976, rompeu com o modelo então vigente na área).

8ª - Reduzir o risco/pesquisar. A gestão de marcas sempre implica risco. Os gerentes gastam muito tempo tentando reduzir o risco. De fato, grande parte do trabalho de pesquisa é extremamente útil, sobretudo no nível macro, mas é melhor não confiar muito nele no nível micro. A pesquisa é uma ferramenta para reduzir o risco, mas nunca para anulá-lo totalmente.

9ª - Promoção. Não é possível uma marca ter sucesso se ninguém a conhece. O uso de mecanismos de promoção é imprescindível.

10ª - Distribuição. É verdade que a Internet mudou bastante os padrões de distribuição de alguns produtos e serviços mas, para a maioria das pessoas, trata-se apenas de outro canal de distribuição - importante, certamente, mas não revolucionário. Uma boa distribuição necessita de boa cobertura. Para  gerir a distribuição é necessário ter muito conhecimento do potencial de mercado, da capacidade de produção e de formas de otimizar a logística de distribuição para que o produto sempre esteja disponível no ponto de venda (PDV) quando o consumidor for impactado pelos esforços de comunicação e promoção. Todos esses esforços convergem para o ponto de venda, seja ele online ou offline. Se o produto estiver disponível no lugar e na hora certa, a chance de "conversão" desse consumidor é muito maior.

11ª – Coerência, Clareza e Congruência. Todas estas diretrizes são importantes, mas toda a experiência, do primeiro ao último contato, tem de reforçar e sublinhar a confiança na marca. Tudo tem que se encaixar e ser coerente: a marca tem de ser a mesma, a qualquer momento, em qualquer lugar, quer se esteja a comprá-la ou a vendê-la, quer se tenha com ela parceria ou quer se esteja a negociar as suas ações. É preciso que haja consistência de atitude, estilo e cultura.

Palavras, frases e expressões em inglês


Marge, as most people knew her, was a force of nature. She fiercely loved her children, grandchildren and her great grandchild. She was a World War II child and was one of three children. Her sister Merry, and her brother Ed, and her mother Marjorie proceeded her in death. Her father, her greatest hero, was killed in action during the war to end all wars.
She raised her daughter Nancy, who fulfilled her dream to become a nurse, and who selflessly took care of Marge in her golden years. Nancy has two children, Ray and Krystal who will remember their grandmother fondly and with a little fear. Grandma could be a little scary.
Ray has a daughter, Sailor. Ray is the VP at an insurance company. Krystal is the Director of Operations at real estate investment company. Both live close to their mother Nancy, in Plantation Florida.
Marge also had a son, John, who went on to become a writer, social worker and symphony musician. John has three children, Sarah, Loreena, and Max. Sarah is a college graduate and works as graphic designer for a Fortune 500 company. Loreena is attending University of Iowa, as a nursing student. And Max is in the 1st grade. John lives in Iowa with his son and wife Kate.
Marge had two other daughters- Susan and Alison. Susan proceeded Marge in death. Susan's daughter, Alexandria is a PhD student at Stanford University. Alison has two sons- Sean and Evan.
Marge worked most of her career in accounting for Eckerd Drug Corporation, in Largo, Florida. She could sew, cook and tell dirty jokes. Her favorite drinks were Rum and Coke, and Margaritas. Her favorite foods were- anything sweet and delicious. She would give you the shirt of her back, but if you hurt her family, you'd better run.
She did not have an easy life, but always seemed to pull things together for her children. They wanted for very little, and she supported their dreams as can be seen by their success.
She loved to use made up words like filthy-dirty, sayings like "Am what Am, Is What Was." She did not care too much for other people's opinions. She was self-assured and never lacked a strong will.
She was a phenomenal mechanic and could just listen to the hum of an engine, and tell what was wrong, as she jacked it up and slid underneath with a wrench.
She was kind and terrifying. Brilliant and sarcastic. Funny and irreverent. She was the total package and if asked what her greatest accomplishment in life was- it was her family. We are going to miss you "Large Marge"- give 'em hell in heaven!

November 14, 2003 News » Whistler
How far would you go to win a pass?
Freeze Factor challenges stamina, wits, stomachs
Just how far will you go to win a free Whistler-Blackcomb season pass?
Will you go 24 hours without sleep, standing outside in the cold and whatever the weather happens to be? Will you answer trivia questions? Eat something gross? Put your body and stamina to the test?
If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you might be a good candidate for Whistler-Blackcomb Freeze Factor.
Based loosely on the television show Fear Factor, the chosen candidates will have to stand outside for 24 hours, buckled into their skis or snowboards. During the course of the contest, they'll be subjected to various tests designed to pare down the number of competitors until the final test.
Some of the events announced include a brain numbing Slurpee eating contest in the cold and bobbing for eyeballs. The competitors will learn of other challenges over the course of the night.
Contestants will receive rewards through the night, and nobody is going to leave empty-handed. In addition, 10-minute washroom breaks will be allowed every four hours, and Freeze Factor participants will be provided with hot beverages and snacks.
The rules are simple – no leaning, no sitting, no sleeping, no music players, no alcohol, no drugs, and no outside support. You will be watched.
Skiers will not be permitted poles, and snowboarders are allowed to have one foot free. You can bring extra food and clothing items in a bag.
Participants must be 19 years or older, with proof of age at registration. Contestants must also sign a waiver and a rules agreement.
Employees of Whistler-Blackcomb and family members are not eligible to enter or win.
The contest gets underway at 8 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 21 and concludes on Saturday at 8 a.m. Dates are subject to change.
The winner will receive a season's pass and the first chair of the year, with a 100-chair gap on the rest of the line, for him- or herself and three friends.
To take part in the Freeze Factor, you can apply online at www.whistler-blackcomb.com/contests/freeze.asp, or by picking up a printed application from Whistler-Blackcomb Guest Relations in the village or the Whistler-Blackcomb administration building at Blackcomb.
Whistler-Blackcomb is also hosting a Kokanee Freeze Factor Party at Merlin's to cheer on the competitors during their official challenges. There will also be mini-challenges for everyone else with great prizes.

However be aware that what those tips are not permanent solutions and often they are more damaging creating mold and moisture.
As a temporary solution you can use rubber weather sealing for drafts. However, when you try to peel away the rubber strips, your windows look worst because the paint is damaged and those strips leave a sticky residue. You can also choose window insulation films, but you will have difficulty to remove the tape in spring. Eventually you will have to scrap the tape off and repaint it. You could go cheap with a clear, plastic shower curtain or stuff the leaking area with an old t-shirt or a towel. You may decide to use a plastic wrap and foam to cover drafts. Using creativity, you can make a snake out of tube socks filled with rice; this is a temporary draft blocker that encourages mold growth and condensation damage.
Another very common practice is filling with cotton balls all of the cracks around your windows, those cotton balls are ideal to retain moisture thus creating areas with mold. Some people may choose to install layered curtains or heavy fabrics covering the windows, however it still creates condensation and it doesn't saves you money on your electricity bill. You can cut a Plexiglas to fit your windows, temporary it can work but again it creates condensation.You can also try clear bubble-wrap on your windows that looks awful. However you will not have much as a view from your windows and it is perfect to increase moisture, which brings mold not only to your windows but also to inside structure that holds your windows.
Therefore you will end up paying more at long term for replacement of your windows and their inside structure. Mold in your house is an important health issue and to get rid of mold can be very expensive. Feeding on moisture and damp conditions, mold and mildew are microorganisms akin to fungi. You have to be careful, condensation can be a complete bugger and moisture can cause problems with mold and mildew, and even rotting wood around the windows causing damage.
Panorama Windows & Doors can save you money on your energy bills and it will add the value of your home if you plan to sell your property. Our energy saving windows is your best bet on how to make sure your home is properly insulated in the long term.

Some years ago, when Laurie Sampsel and I were investigating the collection of Ricardo Viñes's piano scores held at the University of Colorado, I came across a somewhat primitively bound collection called Nove Poemetti (Nine Little Poems) by a composer whose name I'd never seen, Luigi Perrachio. The pieces, composed in 1917 and 1920, looked intriguing, and I made a photocopy for myself. As was true of many of the Viñes collection scores, one of the pieces in the set, Libellule (Dragonflies), was dedicated to Viñes. A couple of years later, I learned to play all nine of the pieces (not easy) and made a quick demo recording of them, which I then left to languish, thinking I'd send it around to see if I could drum up some interest.
Fast forward to this year, when I finally decided to wake this project up. I began by preparing and performing three of the Poemetti — Zefir (Zephyr), Libellule, and Pioggia (Rain) — for a performance in New York. Beautiful music; all who heard it agreed.
Now I find myself more and more excited about the potential of this repertoire, especially after beginning the process of learning Perrachio's 25 Preludi, identified by the Italian musicologist Attilio Piovano as among Perrachio's most important works.
As a composer, he seems to have suffered from undue modesty: he published little, and seems only to have been willing to publish as a consequence of significant arm-twisting from his friends. Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, in a review of the Nove Poemetti, begins with, "Yes, it is decided, finally! Luigi Perrachio has published some of his piano pieces: more compelled by the affectionate pressures of his friends than by the impulse of his own will." Some years earlier, in 1918, his fellow Torinese, the musicologist Guido Gatti, had written an enthusiastic encomium to Perrachio that he prefaced with the statement that his readers would not have heard of the composer, because he hadn't actually published anything and nobody was playing his music in public. Nonetheless, he informed his readers that the music was amazing.
So what to do to share my enthusiasm? I think Guido Gatti was on to something: this is wonderful music, written by a composer with a distinctive and beautiful voice. Obviously, I need to perform this music. I'll start on my annual CU Faculty Recital on January 31—which will be streamed live on the College of Music's livestream page at 7:30 p.m. (MST). I've programmed five of the Poemetti: Sera (Evening), Zefiro (Zephyr), La notte dei morte (The night of the dead), Libellule, and Danzatrici a Lesbo (Dancers in Lesbos). These are beautiful pieces, strongly influenced by the music of Ravel and Debussy, but with a distinctive voice. His handling of the piano, of sonority, of dramatic pacing, and form all show his personal approach. As I've played the pieces more and become more familiar with his particular language, they have come to be more natural to the hands, and driven by an ear with a special sensitivity to the instrument.
The 25 Preludes, which I intend to record along with the Poemetti, were written in the mid 1920s, and reflect a somewhat more neo-classical aesthetic. Why 25? Well, Perrachio, unlike many composers who followed Chopin's lead in this genre, chooses his own approach to covering the keys, and with an exquisite sensitivity to the difference between sharps and flats, writes adjacent preludes in the enharmonically equivalent keys of F-sharp and G-flat major, to point out (I think) that these keys sound different, and to provide a bridge at the far end of the circle of fifths. Thus, one extra prelude in a cycle of 24 keys. His arrangement of keys is idiosyncratic as well, with pairs of major key and minor key preludes alternating, and a dip in the keys of one flat (F major and D minor) at the very beginning of the cycle before going to the sharps (most composers' procedure).
It occurs to me that these works also deserve a modern publication—a corrected edition based on whatever sources I can lay my hands on. There are more piano works out there, too, a couple that were published and many that weren't, along with some intriguing chamber works, including an unpublished Violin Sonata and Piano Quintet from the same period as the Poemetti.

Q: run maven project with dependencies from command line I have a maven project which depends on 2 other local project and a host of 3rd party jars. I want to move the jar file to another machine and run the application from there. I tried the mvn exec:exec command but it was not able to find the 2 local projects, which makes sense. How do I get this scenario to work. the machine on which the application will be installed have maven in it and is connected to the internet, so if required it can download the jars mentioned in the pom.

A: I couldnt really understand much from the above answer. Maven looks complicated to me. Anyway I figured out if you do this then your problem will be solved
First in pom.xml file add this plugin in build section just like shown below
<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <descriptorRefs>
          <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
        </descriptorRefs>
      </configuration>
   </plugin>
 </plugins>
</build>

I think jar-with-dependencies does the trick
Now follow this sequence of commands from your root directory ( where the pom.xml exists )
mvn compile
mvn package
mvn install assembly:assembly

I dont know if mvn package is required or not but the third one is important.
Now if you see your target/ you will see a jar with dependency.
How to run
 java -cp target/Your-Jar-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.mycode.myapp

this will run your java program code com.mycode.myapp main method...
( Disclaimer : I am not an expert in maven but this worked for me )

A: Use the Maven-assembly-plugin to make a jar-with-dependencies, which will result in the execution of mvn package creating a more readily deployable package.

Q: Silencing JSLint warnings in brackets I just started a gulp-angular Yeoman project and opened it in brackets, and nearly everywhere I'm getting 'something' was used before it was defined, specifically 'angular' was used before it was defined. I've messed around with extensions and other fixes, but I honestly don't know what I'm doing and I haven't been able to find any good documentation.
What can I do to silence these warnings across the entire project? In other words, how can I avoid using /*global angular*/ in pretty much every file in my project?
Here's a quick example of one of my controller declarations:
/*global console*/

(function () {
    'use strict';

    angular
        .module('sbk')
        .controller('MainController', MainController);

    /** @ngInject */
    function MainController() {
        console.log('Woo!');
    }
})();

Which results in the following JSLint warnings:
'angular' was used before it was defined.
'MainController' was used before it was defined.
'MainController' was used before it was defined.
Move the invocation into the parens that contain the function.

Edit: updated to make my issue a little clearer

A: http://jshint.com/docs/options/#globals
Provide a list of globals, and you're done.
It's not clear if you're using jshint or jslint; your tags say one, your text another.

A: Okay, so remember that JSLint is just a JavaScript file, and most JSLint plugins I've used has the source shoved in the install somewhere (though the Visual Studio plugin embeds it into a dll!), so you can always get it to do what you want [within reason].
In your case, the absolute worst case is that you initialize the list of predefined variables with the namespaces you want JSLint to assume are always considered to be in scope. I'm going to show you how to set that globally within Brackets, which might not always be the best thing to do, and you need to keep in mind if you're linting another project that doesn't have Angular, well, you've screwed up JSLint.
(Honestly, I'm disappointed that Brackets doesn't have global as a global in its preferences.json file. Guess I should submit a patch.)
There are lots of ways we could do this. I'm going to add a namespace to the standard object. You could also limit its exposure by adding to the browser collection of globals (line 497 in my Bracket install's jslint file). We could also create a new JSLint directive option, similar to browser. That's not quick 'n' dirty, but is probably The Right Way to do this without submitting a Brackets patch. But for now, let's just do the quick 'n' dirty fix.
I'm using Windows. If you're not, YMWV. I do not use Brackets daily, so I haven't tested this in a production coding environment. If anything doesn't work, I'd be interested to hear it, however, and I'll see if I can find what's wrong.

TL;DR. Just the code, ma'am.
The jslint.js file you want is here, if you went with the default install location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets\www\extensions\default\JSLint\thirdparty\jslint
(Just for fun, notice that the version of JSLint we're using is from 2011!!?! Come on, Brackets guys!)
standard is, in my file, on line 974. Here's what it had originally:
// standard contains the global names that are provided by the
// ECMAScript standard.

    standard = array_to_object([
        'Array', 'Boolean', 'Date', 'decodeURI', 'decodeURIComponent',
        'encodeURI', 'encodeURIComponent', 'Error', 'eval', 'EvalError',
        'Function', 'isFinite', 'isNaN', 'JSON', 'Math', 'Number', 'Object',
        'parseInt', 'parseFloat', 'RangeError', 'ReferenceError', 'RegExp',
        'String', 'SyntaxError', 'TypeError', 'URIError'
    ], false),

Here's a test JavaScript snippet I want to lint that uses my global object, util:
/*jslint sloppy:true, white:true */
utils.spam();
utils.spammySpam();

smutils.spam();

All we need to do is to add , 'utils' to standard, and we're done.
    standard = array_to_object([
        'Array', 'Boolean', 'Date', 'decodeURI', 'decodeURIComponent',
        'encodeURI', 'encodeURIComponent', 'Error', 'eval', 'EvalError',
        'Function', 'isFinite', 'isNaN', 'JSON', 'Math', 'Number', 'Object',
        'parseInt', 'parseFloat', 'RangeError', 'ReferenceError', 'RegExp',
        'String', 'SyntaxError', 'TypeError', 'URIError', 'utils'
    ], false),

To be overly clear, you'd add 'angular' and 'MainController' to your standard object in place of 'utils'.
Btw, Crockford (JSLint's creator and maintainer) would hate that we did that. I don't really blame him.
Now I get an error for smutils, but not utils. Luckily, the global directive still works with this setup:
/*jslint sloppy:true, white:true */
/*global smutils */
utils.spam();
utils.spammySpam();

smutils.spam();

And we're JSLint friendly again.
Hacking JSLint directly might not have most favored option status, but it works.
Btw, re: Dave's comment, "IMO JSLint has been popularly deprecated in favor of JSHint or JSCS," I'm not so sure. Just as an example, which does Brackets use out of the box? The best part about JSLint is how much less subjective discussion has to happen to get a large team on the same page. And trust me, Crockford's not going to tell you to do something that's indefensibly wrong.
He might hurt your feelings, and he might ask you to do something that hurts at first, but I really think JSLint can teach a team a lot about JavaScript best practices. It's worth living in JSLint for a while before jumping to JSHint.

Q: Instruct to execute an unit after completing another unit successfully I use cloud-config to install and configure DCOS cluster.
Normally agentinstall.service service takes 5 minutes to complete.
Is it possible to instruct to systemd to execute agentconfigure.service only after agentinstall.service completed?

#cloud-config
coreos:
  units:
    - name: "agentinstall.service"
      command: "start"
      content: |
        [Unit]
        Description=agent_setup
        After=network.target

        [Service]
        Type=simple
        User=root
        WorkingDirectory=/tmp
        ExecStartPre=/bin/curl -o /tmp/dcos_install.sh  http://bootstapnode-0.dev.myztro.internal:9090/dcos_install.sh
        ExecStartPre=/bin/chmod 755 dcos_install.sh
        ExecStart=/bin/bash dcos_install.sh slave

        [Install]
        WantedBy=multi-user.target
    - name: "agentconfigure.service"
      command: "start"

        WorkingDirectory=/opt/mesosphere/etc/
        ExecStartPre=/bin/echo "MESOS_ATTRIBUTES=cluster:uploader" >> /opt/mesosphere/etc/mesos-slave-common
        ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /var/lib/mesos/slave/meta/slaves/latest
        ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl restart dcos-mesos-slave

        [Install]
        WantedBy=multi-user.target

Thank you.

A: I am not aware of a way to get this done with systemd, as I think it is only concerned about starting and running of units. As in, you can use After= to force a unit to start only AFTER the specified one has started, or both start in parallel.
Wants= will cause the specified units to be started in parallel (if the wanted units are not yet started/active), not what you want.
Requires= will, if used in conjunction with After= on agentconfigure.service, ensure that agentconfigure.service is started AFTER agentinstall.service is active ("busy"). Now, you could have a loop in agentconfigure.service that waits, say max 5 minutes, and regularly checks for agentinstall.service to complete before it proceeds with its actual work. The only option I see for this.
EDIT: Another option I think is even better ... agentinstall.service starts agentconfigure.service when installation succeeds, then exits.

A: You want to run after the /bin/bash dcos_install.sh slave command?
Change the service with that command to Type=oneshot.  Also then I don't think you need to use ExecStartPre=, just use ExecStart= for everything.

@JdeBP asks me to point out that your echo command is attempting to using shell redirection which will not work.


In the curious custom of this venerableinstitution, I find myself standing before you expected to impart words oflasting wisdom. Here I am in a pulpit, dressed like a Puritan minister –anapparition that would have horrified many of my distinguished forebears andperhaps rededicated some of them to the extirpation of witches. This momentwould have propelled Increase and Cotton into a true "Mather lather". But hereI am and there you are and it is the moment of and for Veritas.
You have been undergraduates for fouryears. I have been president for not quite one. You have known threepresidents; I one senior class. Where then lies the voice of experience? Maybeyou should be offering the wisdom. Perhaps our roles could be reversed and I could,in Harvard Law School style, do cold calls for the next hour or so.
We all do seem to have made it to thispoint-more or less in one piece. Though I recently learned that we have notprovided you with dinner since May 22. I know we need to wean you from Harvardin a figurative sense. I never knew we took it quite so literally.
In a way, you have been engaging me in thisQ&A for the past year. On just these questions, although you have phrasedthem a bit more narrowly. And I have been trying to figure out how I mightanswer and, perhaps more intriguingly, why you were asking.
Let me explain. It actually began when metwith the UC just after my appointment was announced in the winter of 2007. Thenthe questions continued when I had lunch at Kirkland House, dinner at Leverett,when I met with students in my office hours, even with some recent graduates Iencountered abroad. The first thing you asked me about wasn't curriculum oradvising or faculty contact or even student space. In fact, it wasn't alcoholpolicy. Instead, you repeatedly asked me: why are so many of us going to WallStreet? Why are we going in such numbers from Harvard to finance, consulting,i-banking?
There are a number of ways to think aboutthis question and how to answer it. There is the Willie Sutton approach. Youmay know that when he was asked why he robbed banks, he replied, "Becausethat's where the money is."

Tyłowo (kaszb. Tëłowò, niem. Tillau, dawniej Tulowa) – wieś kaszubska w Polsce położona w województwie pomorskim, w powiecie puckim, w gminie Krokowa.

W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa gdańskiego. W skład sołectwa Tyłowo wchodzi również miejscowość Dąbrowa. Na wschód od Tyłowa położone jest jezioro Dobre, otoczone kompleksem leśnym Puszczy Darżlubskiej.

Na północ od wsi, w sąsiednim Kartoszynie położone są przemysłowe tereny Pomorskiej Specjalnej Strefy Ekonomicznej.

Historia
Wieś była początkowo folwarkiem wsi Lubocino, pierwsze wzmianki o niej pochodzą z 1340 roku, gdy wymienia się istniejącą w tamtym czasie we wsi kaplicę św. Sebastiana. W 1624 roku wieś przeszła w ręce protestanckiego rodu Czapskich. W 1725 roku wieś wraz z resztą klucza lubockiego została sprzedana Rybińskiemu, ale już w 1755 roku wieś kupił generał Józef Przebendowski i wybudował w niej kościół pod wezwaniem Oczyszczenia NP Marii, o konstrukcji szkieletowej i dwór. Postarał się również o ustanowienie w Tyłowie parafii. Parafia jednak nie istniała długo, wkrótce kościół w Tyłowie stał się kościołem filialnym (do 1946 roku). W 1865 roku obok kościoła wybudowano dzwonnicę. W 1798 roku w Tyłowie znajdowało się 15 domów, kościół i dwór. Pod koniec XVIII wieku wieś została sprzedana Zaborzyckim, następnie właścicielami jej byli von Platen, Thymianowie (wybudowali oni nowy dwór w miejsce starego, wzniesionego przez Przebendowskiego) i rodzina Frieböse (aż do II wojny światowej). W okresie okupacji w Tyłowie znajdowała się szkoła, a wieś liczyła 150 mieszkańców. Po 1945 roku ziemie majątku zostały rozparcelowane. W 2002 roku w miejsce kościoła wzniesionego przez generała Przebendowskiego wybudowano nową świątynię, a starą rozebrano. Zrekonstruowana stoi we wsi Lizaki.

The Future of Facebook
By Austin Schoonmaker | February 21, 2018
Facebook was once the king of social media, with the site breaking 1 billion users in 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2017, that figure more than doubled, with Facebook having over 2.2 billion active users. Despite this incredible increase, Facebook has lately been facing issues with its users not utilizing the site as much as in the past. In recent figures released, users have spent an average of 5 percent less time on Facebook every day. Many cite the reason being that Facebook has become less of a place to connect with friends and family, and more of a place plagued with toxic content. In addition, Facebook has come under fire for being complacent in allowing false stories to be spread around the social network, which some believe to have had some effect on the 2016 election.
So what does the future of Facebook hold? Well, Mark Zuckerberg hopes for it permeate more than just our time spent on our social media apps. Facebook hopes to venture into more immersive products, with a push for virtual reality and live video. The company wants to eventually allow its users to add another digital layer to their photos and videos, that will give it a new depth. For example, users will be able to share pictures of their run while superimposing the date, time, and distance over the photo.
While Snapchat is another app that is losing daily users, it still is the most widely used when it comes to their story feature. Facebook is gunning for that top spot though, with a stories feature of their own. Facebook Stories is focused around the in-camera app within the Facebook app itself, and allows for users to post stories of their day with Snapchat-esque filters, geotags, and captions. The problem with their attempt at implementing Facebook Stories is that it offers nothing unique from Snapchat itself, with its features not nearly as smooth to use as.
Most of the tech giants have a form of their very own music streaming service. Facebook is looking to enter this arena as well, but instead of pursuing deals with the major record labels, they are looking to join forces with Apple Music and Spotify to allows their users a new way to access and share the music they love. Facebook has convinced these two companies to build an extension for their app, so users can search through their music library, and even share music with their friends who also use these streaming services.
While Facebook is usually seen as a workplace distraction, it is looking to find ways to become a valuable tool of communication while at work. Currently, there is an indie platform called Slack that is used in workplaces around the world, that offer a chat room platform for employees to communicate quickly and easily. Facebook wants to crush this competition, with their very own platform called Workplace. As of now, the service will runs companies $3 per user every month, but they are still looking to gain traction against cheaper and more widely known services.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" star Rami Malek says he wasn't aware of the past sexual misconduct allegations against director Bryan Singer when he joined the film.
The actor, who portrayed Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in the biopic, told the Los Angeles Times that "as far as" he knew, he was already connected to the role before Singer signed on as the movie's director.
Singer was accused of sexual misconduct involving a minor in two separate lawsuits in 2014. Singer denied the accusations, and both suits were ultimately dismissed voluntarily.
Multiple underage extras who worked on Singer's 1998 movie "Apt Pupil" claimed they were told to get naked for a shower scene in the film. A lawsuit against Singer regarding that movie was also dismissed.
Singer, 53, left "Bohemian Rhapsody" toward the end of filming following a series of reported absences, which he attributed to a parent being ill.
Days after his exit, it was revealed that a man named Cesar Sanchez-Guzman had sued Singer, claiming the filmmaker raped him on a boat in 2003, when Sanchez-Guzman was 17.
On Wednesday, The Atlantic published a new wave of allegations that Singer sexually abused minors during the late 1990s.
Singer has denied all of the allegations against him.
Dexter Fletcher took over the directorial duties for "Bohemian Rhapsody" after Singer and saw the project through to the end. It was announced Tuesday that the movie is up for Best Picture at next month's Oscars, and that Malek is nominated for Best Actor.

Review: Auralex GRAMMA and Great GRAMMA Isolation Platforms
Auralex Unveils ProMAX Panels at NAMM
Auralex Installed In World Music Nashville's New Live Venue
Auralex Installed In World Music Nashville's New Live Venue… Auralex® Acoustics, Inc., the industry leader in innovative sound control solutions, helped World Music Nashville, located in Nashville, TN, launch its new live music venue with the installation of Auralex SonoSuede HT™ System acoustics treatment panels throughout the space.
World Music Nashville is a niche, high-end guitar shop run by Larry Faragalli. The store was recently remodelled to include a 120-seat event venue. "This new space will be used in a number of ways," says Faragalli. "We'll have live performances, music industry educational events, manufacturer clinics, student performances, CD/DVD releases and community events." A Taylor Guitar Road Show and a Martin Guitar Steel String Showdown were recently hosted at the new venue. Performances by such artists as Alex Call, composer of the hit "867-5309:Jenny," as well as the Nashville Blues Society's "Nashville Blues Challenge" have also already been held there.
The SonoSuede HT System is a cost-effective, complete do-it-yourself room treatment system ideal for any critical listening environment. The synthetic suede fabric-covered panels provide the acoustical performance and visual impact critical for today's applications. The SonoSuede HT System's unique mounting blocks enable users to space the panels off the wall. The resulting air gap dramatically improves low-frequency absorption and also offers a multitude of decorative options.
As audio technology continues to evolve, sound control solutions must meet greater acoustical demands while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The SonoSuede HT panels are the sole provider of critical acoustical absorption and enhance the look of the World Music Nashville's live music venue.
Brown SonoSuede HT panels are mounted along the walls of the space, on the back and just off to one side of the stage. They are also strategically placed along the side and back walls of the audience.
Faragalli couldn't be happier with how the new live space turned out. "The room sound is now perfectly tuned," he says. "A big reason for this was the help from Auralex. They analyzed the room dimensions and advised us on what Auralex products to use and how to apply them in a manner that looks good and sounds great. Auralex was there all along the way when it came to helping us tune our room."
The live music venue is fully equipped with a PA system, including Peavey mains and monitors, along with inputs, effects and mics. There is also a drum kit, keyboard and bass amp, along with lights above the raised stage.
World Music Nashville is one of Nashville's finest musical instrument stores and also houses the city's largest and most successful privately run Music Lesson Center. For more information on World Music and a list of upcoming events, visit www.WorldMusicNashville.com.

Sometimes, scratches and exposure to the elements can cause damage to your vehicle's clear coat covering, which helps protect the paint and gives it added shine. Repairing minor clear coat scratches is not difficult, and even if clear coat reapplication is required, you can easily manage it yourself if the damage is light. Here are some tips for cheap clear coat repair.
If your fingernail doesn't catch in the scratch, the clear coat can be repaired without spraying on more. All you'll need is a soft cotton cloth that isn't entirely smooth, a bottle of 3M Imperial Hand Glaze and sandpaper. A dual-action power buffer is very helpful, but not required.
First, apply the glaze to a cloth and rub back and forth with pressure on the scratch for 15 seconds, then see if the scratch is still there. Repeat the process until it is no longer visible.
If the scratch is deeper, wet sandpaper alone or with the buffer come into play. Soak sandpaper for at least 10 minutes in clean water. The wetter the sandpaper, the better. Sandpaper that is too dry will damage the surface of your car. As a safety precaution, re-wet the paper as you go while sanding. Always be sure to use the sanding surface along the folded edge, if you aren't using a buffer sanding screen.
Using moderate pressure, it can take as many as 30 strokes of wet sandpaper to eliminate the clear coat scratch. Stop often to see if your work is done; excess sanding will damage the finish.
When finished sanding, clean and dry the area with a clean cloth. Apply a buffing agent by hand or via power buffer to restore the shine. The previously scratched area should be smooth, shiny and dry.
If the clear coat damage is greater than a small scratch, re-applying is necessary. If the area of clear coat damage is large and you aren't an experienced auto painter, consulting a professional is advisable.
Once the car is in a garage and out of the sun, start wet sanding. Again, if you have a buffer, this part of the job is easier. Otherwise, attach the sandpaper to a rubber or wood block with adhesive, so that you have a hand tool. If using a block, the sandpaper must hang over the edges of the block, or you'll risk scratching the car further while sanding.
This process could take several days, depending upon the area of clear coat damage. Work slowly to remove the clear coat, but not the paint. Once sanding is done, towel off the area with soap and water, then dry completely.
Once the car is dry, re-spray clear coat with a paint gun, making sure to apply it smoothly. Never brush on clear coat, as bristles will leave marks in the coat and make the car look scratched. Once the coat is dry, wax for a shiny finish.


Richard Mouw, a prominent Protestant scholar, adds to the discussion between Evangelicals and Mormons by looking at our different ways of viewing America (is America a Zion or a Babylon?). Kent Bessey explains infinity in a way that helps us understand God's mysteries. Scott Faulring examines "The Articles of the Church of Christ," written by Oliver Cowdery in 1829, which was the earliest statement of Church beliefs and practices. Lawyer Gordon Madsen looks at the validity of the charge of treason against Joseph Smith and others in 1838, a charge that landed them in Liberty Jail. An article about the ship Brooklyn contains a newly relocated painting of the ship as well as a review of the library the Saints carried with them on that historic voyage.

2013 Microsoft Research Faculty Summit – OFF THE CHARTS
By: From the CCC Blog - Guest post by Ed Lazowska, Past-Chair Computing Community Consortium, University of WashingtonIn: August 2013, Vol. 25/No.7 /
From the CCC Blog post on July 16: It's impossible to convey how great this year's Microsoft Research Faculty Summit has been: a "who's who" of attendees from academia; heavy participation by top people from Microsoft Research; superb presentations on a range of research topics; and a total absence of marketing.
Center for Evaluating the Research Pipeline (CERP):
By: Jane Stout, Director of CERPIn: August 2013, Vol. 25/No.7 /
It is now well established that the field of computing research is lacking in demographic diversity, both in the academy and in industry. To address this issue, many computing-related mentorship and training programs with diversity goals have been established. But do they really work? And how, exactly, do we determine whether they do? In this article, I discuss the lack of diversity that exists in computing, examples of programs that have been developed to address the lack of diversity, and a new evaluation center at the CRA headquarters that offers rigorous, comparative evaluation of how participants in a given program fare in their computing career progression relative to non-participants. We invite all computing community members to get involved with CERP by (a) providing data to enable us to do comparative evaluation, (b) employing our infrastructure for program evaluation, and/or (c) by being an active audience as we learn about ways to increase diversity in computing.

As part of its mission to develop a next generation of leaders in the computing research community, the Computing Research Association's Computing Community Consortium recently held its second Leadership in Science Policy Institute (LiSPI). This one and a half-day workshop was intended to educate a cadre of computing researchers on how science policy in the U.S. is formulated and how our government works. Participants heard candid and "off the record" views from people who do it or have done it. Fifty-three computer scientists and engineers from forty-eight different universities and research organizations attended the April 11-12th workshop.

Taulbee in Depth: Department Space per Faculty Member
By: Betsy Bizot, CRA Director of StatisticsIn: August 2013, Vol. 25/No.7 /
Every three years, the CRA Taulbee Survey asks a set of Department Profiles questions including questions about department space. In the full Taulbee report published in CRN in May 2013, we reported on the space data collected in fall 2012. Tables in that report provided percentiles for department space in the categories of total space, offices, conference and seminar rooms, research labs, and instructional labs. The percentiles were across all departments of a given type (US CS Public, US CS Private, US CE, US Information, and Canadian) without regard for the size of the department. However, department size is clearly a major determiner of space. To allow departments to better compare their own space allocations to the overall Taulbee numbers, this analysis reports on space per faculty member in two ways: by number of tenured and tenure-track faculty, and by number of tenured and tenure-track faculty plus number of research faculty and postdocs. Those values were computed for each department; percentiles of the normalized space for all US departments and for each type of department are given in tables.

Reflections from a CIFellows Alumna
By: Xiaojuan Ma, Noah's Ark Lab - Hong KongIn: August 2013, Vol. 25/No.7 /
During the economic downturn in 2009, Xiaojuan Ma was one of the many new PhDs in computing who considered delaying or abandoning a research career because of insufficient funding. From 2009- 12, the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) developed and administered the Computing Innovation Fellows (CIFellows) project, a short-term initiative that addressed this problem by providing funding for 127 postdoctoral positions throughout academia and industry.

But this new activity includes a radically different funding mechanism – participation in an Ideas Lab workshop which is designed to foster novel, transformative, multidisciplinary approaches (and proposals). Participants in the Ideas Lab workshop will build interdisciplinary teams solely eligible to submit proposals for a majority of program funds. The Ideas Lab workshop will be held October 7-11, 2013. Applications for the workshop are due August 19, 2013.
