Beginner JavaScript Training: Lesson 3

Wade Burelbach and Alex Ford

TypeScript

www.typescriptlang.org

What is TypeScript?

JavaScript, with optional typing

TypeScript transpiles (compiles) into JavaScript

You can choose what version of ECMASCript you want to transpile to (ES5, ES6/ES2015, ES7/ES2016, ...)

(Transpiling means "compiling from one source language to another", in this case, to JavaScript)

Why TypeScript?

Valid JavaScript is valid TypeScript

Just rename from .js to .ts -- boom, TypeScript!

Types can be implicit

TypeScript tries to infer everything it can to give you type safety

              var foobar = 123;
              foobar = 'bar';
              // Type '"bar"' is not assignable to type 'number'.

              // Is `foobar` supposed to be a number or a string?

Types can be explicit

You can declare types explicitly

              var foobar: number = 123;
              // Works fine, 123 is a number

              var foobar: number = 'bar';
              // Type '"bar"' is not assignable to type 'number'.

TypeScript protects you

JavaScript has a lot of quirks.

              var foobar = [] + [];
              // JavaScript: "", TypeScript: error

              var foobar = {} + [];
              // JavaScript: 0, TypeScript: error

              var foobar = [] + {};
              // JavaScript: "[object Object]", TypeScript: error

              var foobar = {} + {};
              // JavaScript: NaN, TypeScript: error

              var foobar = 'hello' - 1;
              // JavaScript: NaN, TypeScript: error

TypeScript tooling

With Visual Studio Code, you get "IntelliSense", which provides code completion like a compiled language

Other editors have plugins (Atom, Sublime Text)

Introduction to Types

Reference: Basic Types · TypeScript

Basic TypeScript types

TypeScript and JavaScript share "primitive" types.

              let someBoolean: boolean = true;
              console.log(typeof someBoolean); // boolean

              let someNumber: number = 1;
              console.log(typeof someNumber); // number

              let someString: string = 'foobar';
              console.log(typeof someString); // string

More advanced TypeScript types

              // For legacy reasons, `typeof null` returns "object".
              let someNull: null = null;
              console.log(typeof someNull); // object

              let someUndefined: undefined = undefined;
              console.log(typeof someUndefined); // undefined
              let declaredButNotSet;
              console.log(typeof declaredButNotSet); // undefined

              let notANumber: number = NaN;
              console.log(typeof notANumber); // number
              console.log(isNaN(notANumber)); // true

TypeScript Arrays

              let someNumericArray: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
              let someStringArray: string[] = ['foo', 'bar'];

              console.log(typeof someNumericArray); // object

              // Arrays are special objects.
              console.log(Array.isArray(someNumericArray)); // true

TypeScript Objects

In TypeScript, objects' properties are also inferred. Reassigning a property to a different type will result in an error.

Inferred object property types

              let foobar = {
                foo: 'foo',
                bar: true,
              };

              foobar.foo = 'foobar';
              foobar.bar = false;

              foobar.foo = true;
              // Type 'true' is not assignable to type 'string'.
              // let foobar: { foo: string; bar: boolean; }

Objects infer static types

Trying to set properties that don't exist at declaration results in an error

              let x = {
                foo: 1,
              };

              x.bar = 2;
              // Property 'bar' does not exist on type '{ foo: number; }'.

Interfaces

We can explicitly declare object structures using interfaces.

              interface Foobar {
                foo: string;
                bar: boolean;
              }
              let foobar: Foobar = {
                foo: 'foo',
                bar: true,
              };

              foobar.foo = 'foobar';
              foobar.bar = false;

              foobar.foo = true;
              // Type 'true' is not assignable to type 'string'.

Interfaces with optional properties

Not all properties have to be required

              interface Foobar {
                foo?: string;
                bar: boolean;
              }

              let foobar: Foobar = {
                bar: true,
              };

              let foobar2: Foobar = {
                foo: 'foo',
                bar: true,
              };

Interfaces with readonly properties

Readonly properties are modifiable only when an object is first created

              interface Foobar {
                foo: string;
                readonly bar: boolean;
              }

              let foobar: Foobar = {
                foo: 'foo',
                bar: true,
              };

              foobar.foo = 'still modifiable';
              foobar.bar = false;
              // Cannot assign to 'bar' because it is a constant or a read-only property.

TypeScript functions

Typed parameters

              function sayHi(name: string) {
                console.log('Hello, ' + name);
              }
              sayHi('everyone'); // Hello, everyone

              sayHi(false);
              // Argument of type 'false' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.

              sayHi();
              // Supplied parameters do not match any signature of call target.

The "any" type

The any type opts out of typechecking. An untyped parameter is an implicit "any"

              function foo(arg) {
                return arg.toLowerCase();
              }

              foo('FOOBAR'); // foobar
              foo(5); // No compile error, but there will be a runtime error

These types of errors can be avoided with the "noImplicitAny" compilation option

Optional parameters

              function sayHi(firstName: string, lastName?: string) {
                if (lastName) {
                  console.log('Hi, ' + firstName + ' ' + lastName);
                } else {
                  console.log('Hello, ' + firstName);
                }
              }

              sayHi('Wade'); // Hello, Wade
              sayHi('Wade', 'Burelbach'); // Hi, Wade Burelbach

Default parameters

Default parameters are part of ES6, which TypeScript supports

              function sayHi(firstName = 'everyone', lastName?: string) {
                if (lastName) {
                  console.log('Hi, ' + firstName + ' ' + lastName);
                } else {
                  console.log('Hello, ' + firstName);
                }
              }

              sayHi(); // Hello, everyone
              sayHi('class'); // Hello, class
              sayHi('Wade', 'Burelbach'); // Hi, Wade Burelbach

Return types

TypeScript can infer return types most of the time, but sometimes you want (or need) to be explicit

              function highFive(name: string): string {
                return 'High five, ' + name;
              }

              let thisWorks: string = highFive('class');
              let thisDoesnt: number = highFive('class');
              // Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'.

TypeScript classes

Typed properties of classes

Like objects, classes can also have typed properties. They can be optional and readonly as well

              class Rectangle {
                width: number;
                height: number;

                // The parameters here are implict "any", but shouldn't be
                constructor(width, height) {
                  this.width = width;
                  this.height = height;
                }
                getArea() {
                  return this.width * this.height;
                }
              }
              let myRectangle = new Rectangle(5, 10);
              let wrongRectangle = new Rectangle('foobar', false);
              // No error, need to add typings to the constructor's parameters

Constructors, like any other function, can have parameter types

              class Rectangle {
                width: number;
                height: number;

                constructor(width: number, height: number) {
                  this.width = width;
                  this.height = height;
                }
                getArea() {
                  return this.width * this.height;
                }
              }
              let myRectangle = new Rectangle(5, 10);
              let wrongRectangle = new Rectangle('foobar', false);

The Resource Max Beckmann in New York, Sabine Rewald
The item Max Beckmann in New York, Sabine Rewald represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Brigham Young University.
Rewald, Sabine
Walter, Emily
Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)
"The prominent German Expressionist painter Max Beckmann (1884-1950) is known for allegorical, autobiographical works that capture the doom and grotesquerie of World War I and the subsequent rise of Nazism. In 1937, under threat by the Nazi regime (which featured Beckmann's work prominently in the notorious "Degenerate Art" exhibition that year), he and his wife relocated, first to Amsterdam, then to St. Louis, and eventually to New York City, where Beckmann died less than one year later. This revealing book focuses on the works produced during Beckmann's final years and other pieces by the artist now found in New York collections. Throughout his prolific career, Beckmann maintained a firm loyalty to representational painting, asserting his purpose to "get hold of the magic of reality and to transfer this reality into painting." The deft and subtle layers of color and shadow, figures and allusions in his work resulted in captivating narrative images. Presenting a mesmerizing portrait of one of the 20th century's most enigmatic and challenging artists, Max Beckmann in New York features beautiful reproductions of Beckmann's remarkable artworks, accompanied by an engaging essay by acclaimed art historian Sabine Rewald that contextualizes his paintings and provides insight into his tumultuous life."--Publisher's description

This section lists all known versions of Knights and Merchants - The Shattered Kingdom that were actually released. The section also includes unofficial patches. If you happen to know of a release that is missing, please inform me.
Provided are both the dates when the executable for that very version was compiled the first time and when the version was actually released. These dates are provided for the curious, sometimes the dates can vary a lot. Obviously not all versions were released in each language and some versions were also released in retail later. This information is available next to the flags indicating a specific language.
As an added curiosity, pirate releases of the game are also listed in the availability section. However, all changes listed refer to those of the official localization (not that any pirate release would ever have received a patch).
Footnotes: The Polish version of the game as it was released was already at version 1.52, so this patch was likely meant for beta testers.
Footnotes: The Polish release of the game had two major bugs unique to that release; games couldn't be saved and trying to pause the game would lead to a crash.
Also despite there being a Spanish version of the game, the release by Computer Hoy Juegos in Spain was actually in English. The Spanish version was first released with the 2012 edition of the game.
Footnotes: The initial Hungarian release of the game is notable since it is the only release of the game to include copy protection in the form of SafeDisc. Later releases of the game removed this protection.
Footnotes: This patch does not include some of the changes made in the 1.53 Polish patch, so you should install it before installing this patch if you intend to use it.
There were also two changes that were supposed to be part of the patch but they didn't end up working correctly. The Carpenter was supposed to get back his voice in this patch, but the fix did not work properly. Furthermore there were hopes to fix the button problems in the Town Hall; this fix never surfaced.
Furthermore there was supposed to be a Hungarian version of the patch, but unfortunately it was never completed due to technical difficulties.

When Jörg Rupf founded St. George Spirits in 1982, he was a lone wolf making elegant eaux de vie in a wine cooler world. In those days absinthe was illegal, craft-produced American gins were unheard of, and there was no such thing as an American single malt whiskey. In the decades since, hundreds of new craft spirits producers have followed suit, proof positive that the spirits movement has officially gone the way of micro brewing and coffee roasting - into the realm of the artisanal. Intrigued by the unknown and with a madcap approach to creation, the St. George team has inspired a modern spirits renaissance. Come drink in some history with the godfather of the artisanal distillation movement, Jorg Rupf, resident evil genius Lance Winters, mad alchemist Dave Smith, and other artisans changing the spirits conversation.
Tickets include: A grand tour of the St. George distillery, three complimentary decade-inspired drinks, the panel discussion, and the reception with specialty cocktails and hors d'oeuvres such as Manhattan Tostadas with Vermouth Slaw courtesy of Tango & Stache.
Location: St. George Spirits, 2601 Monarch St., Alameda

Gaza father who lost entire family in Israeli air strike holds his only surviving son
AFP, Gaza City
Published: 18 May ,2021: 10:41 AM GST Updated: 18 May ,2021: 11:49 AM GST
Inside a Gaza hospital, Mohammad al-Hadidi cradled his baby boy Omar -- his only surviving child after Israeli air strikes killed his wife and four other sons in the night.
"I have no one left in the world but you," the 37-year-old father said.
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
After the strikes, rescue workers pulled the five-month-old from the arms of his dead mother early Saturday, one of his tiny legs fractured in three places.
All his other children -- Suhayb, 13, Yahya, 11, Abderrahman, 8, and Osama, 6 -- perished in the bombing along with their mother Maha Abu Hattab, 36.
"They've gone to find God, we don't want to stay around here for much longer," the bereaved father said, sobbing.
"We will meet them soon, you and I. Oh God, let it not be too long."
Sitting on the edge of a hospital bed, Hadidi carefully kissed his child's cheek.
In his arms, Omar rested peacefully, his right leg poking out of his romper in a plaster cast.
Under a crown of tiny brown curls, his eyelids were bruised dark and swollen, and his face covered in scratches.

'Begged to stay the night'
Saturday's strikes hit at the conclusion of Eid al-Fitr, usually a time of joy when Muslim families gather to mark the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
On Friday, Omar's mother had taken him and his brothers to visit their cousins nearby in the Shati refugee camp outside Gaza City where they all lived.
"The kids put on their Eid clothes, took their toys and headed off to their uncle's house to celebrate," Hadidi said.
"They called in the evening to beg to stay the night and I said OK."
Hadidi then paused to gather himself as he recalled what would become a fateful night.

"I slept at home alone... (and) woke up suddenly to the sound of bombing," he said.
Soon a neighbor called to say an Israeli missile had hit his brother-in-law's home.
"I hurried over as fast as I could, but when I got there the home was rubble, and rescue workers were pulling out bodies."
His sister-in-law and four of her children were also among the dead.

A video widely shared on social media shows Hadidi clutching his son to his chest, overwhelmed that he had survived.
'God was preparing us'
Hadidi gently touched his son face.
"All my other sons breastfed, except for Omar who refused from day one," he said wistfully. "God was preparing us and we had no idea."
Israeli air raids have killed 200 people including 59 children in the besieged coastal enclave since last Monday.
On the Israeli side, the rockets of Palestinian armed groups have killed 10 people.
Hadidi accused Israel of deliberately targeting children.
"What have they done to deserve being bombed without any warning to evacuate the home?"
Israel claims it is targeting armed militants, including from the Palestinian militant Hamas group running the Gaza Strip.
But human rights groups have repeatedly condemned strikes that have killed women and children in the overcrowded territory of some 2 million inhabitants.
The Gaza-based Mezan center for Human Rights says 341 residential units have been damaged in the aerial bombardment.
Even with air strikes ongoing, Hadidi said he was waiting for his baby to be declared well enough for him to take him home.
"I will care for him and raise on my own," he said.

"Flipping my way into the weekend like this. #FridayFeeling," Shonda Rhimes posted on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
The celebrated creator of such TV hits as "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal" has more than 1.8 million Twitter followers. The Oct. 12 video of Marsh flying across the field, now has more than 964,000 views.
Suddenly, Marsh wasn't just a sideline sensation, he was an Internet sensation.
Marsh, who hails from Suwanee, Ga., came to UK following in the footsteps of his older brother John.
Before John graduated, the two gained notice at UK basketball games because they would do their spectacular tumbling runs together. This year, Josh's last with the UK squad, he's been doing many on his own, trying to get them higher and more fantastic each time.
The team, UK Cheer's Blue squad, is preparing to try to win the program's 24th national title and fourth in a row at this weekend's Universal Cheerleaders Association College Nationals in Orlando, Fla.
While fans see the UK cheerleaders pumping up the crowd at Rupp Arena and Kroger Field, they don't see the hours and hours of work the members put in at the gym trying to perfect a routine that lasts just two and a half minutes, but has consumed their lives for months.
"This is by far the most prepared squad that I've ever been a part of," Marsh said. "This team in particular is a very, very special team not only athletic-wise, but the team chemistry is like no other.
Thompson praised his squad's exhibition performance last week, saying it was a good sign they were able to keep everything "in the air" despite a few bobbles. For competitive college cheerleading's most dominant program, the goal is just trying to top themselves each year, a formula that works.
A video posted by Kyle Steele of UK cheerleader Josh Marsh tumbling during the Kentucky-South Carolina football game went viral on Facebook.
The 2019 UCA & UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship in Orlando this Friday through Sunday will be broadcast live online through a pay-per-view service at TV.Varsity.com. An edited, taped broadcast will air later this year on one of ESPN's networks.

Cheslie Kryst via Instagram
Former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst jumped to her death from the 9th floor of a 60-story high-rise building in New York City, the NY Post reported.
She was only 30 years old.
Kryst, a lawyer and 2019 Miss USA pageant winner, wrote a cryptic Instagram post shortly before leaping to her death Sunday morning.
"May this day bring you rest and peace." – Cheslie Kryst wrote just hours before she took her own life.
According to The New York Post, Cheslie Kryst left a note saying she wanted to leave everything to her mom.
The New York Post reported:
The woman who leaped to her death from a Midtown high-rise Sunday was former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
The 2019 pageant winner and 30-year-old lawyer jumped from the 60-story Orion building at 350 W. 42nd St. around 7:15 a.m. and was found dead in the street below, sources said.
Kryst, who lived on the ninth floor of the building, was alone when she jumped and was last seen on a 29th-floor terrace, sources said.
She left behind a note saying she wanted to leave everything to her mother, sources said. The note didn't include a motive for her actions, sources said.

Landlady remanded in Kirikiri for forceful ejection, destruction of tenant's property
By Raheem Ibrahim
Lagos – A 50-year old landlady, Mrs. Hannah Adako is now cooling her feet in the Corrections Center, Kirikiri town, Lagos for allegedly hiring thugs to destroy her tenant's properties and threw them away over ejection.
The incident happened at Dayo Adako Street, Idimu area of Lagos State, where the house is located.
It was reliably gathered that the tenant, Anifowose Olarewaju and his landlady have been at loggerhead for sometimes over a minor issue, which the landlady vowed to send him packing very soon.
Source revealed that the tenant told the landlady that he will not leave until his rent money expired and will get back to her through his lawyer.
However, Anifowose suffered his fate few days later when the landlady asked him to move out the following day without properly serving him a quit notice or going to Court to follow due process.
She was said to have told her neighbours that she would not waste time by going to Court to eject Olarewaju and so she decided to eject him and his family in a crude manner.
The matter was reported to the Idimu Police Division and the landlady, Mrs. Adako, was arrested and detained at the station for interrogation over the conduct. She was asked to produce those thugs who destroyed the properties and threw everything out but she refused.
After thorough interrogation, the Police found her culpable and subsequently charged her before the Ejigbo Magistrates Court for conspiracy and willfully damaging the properties belonging to the tenant, Olarewaju worth N7million.
During the hearing, the prosecutor, Supol Benedict Aigbokhan told the court that the landlady, Mrs. Hannah Adako, reportedly hired thugs and brought them to the house. They first detained Olarewaju and members of his family before the thugs invaded the house and destroyed everything found inside before they threw all the properties outside and left.
The landlady however pleaded not guilty to the charges when she was arraigned.
The prosecutor, then asked the Court to give a date for hearing since she pleaded not guilty to enable the Police to prove that she actually committed the alleged offence.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs K.A. Ariyo, granted her bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties in like sum.
The matter was adjourned till 19th December, 2022, for mention while the defendant was remanded in custody at the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when she will perfect her bail conditions.

Guxo! () is a centre-right political party in Kosovo, formed on 5 November 2020 by Vjosa Osmani. In February 2022, Guxo was registered as a political party as up to that point it was a political list.

History
The party presented candidates within the common list of Vetëvendosje in the 2021 Kosovan parliamentary election, and obtained seven deputies, including Vjosa Osmani. Two of its members joined the Second Kurti cabinet resulting from these elections, which caused the number of deputies from the party to fall from seven to five. After Osmani was elected President of Kosovo, she left the party as, according to the Constitution of Kosovo, the president has no right to exercise any other public office or to hold any office in a political party, dropping the number of Guxo deputies to four, while Donika Gërvalla-Schwarz became head of Guxo.

New Washington Museum Celebrates African American History and Culture
Toyota Helps Honor a Century of Effort to Build National Museum
Washington, D.C. — Sept. 21, 2016 – The charge began with black veterans of the Civil War. Decades later, civil rights activists assumed the mantle. Now, thanks to the new National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), we will have a better understanding of how the African American experience has helped shape us all.
The new museum, which opens this week in Washington, D.C., will preserve and display more than 36,000 precious artifacts of our nation's history. Toyota has provided support as a Founding Donor and Grand Opening Sponsor.
"Toyota is proud to be a partner in preserving the priceless artifacts of African American history and culture that convey a compelling story of determination, faith, resilience and achievement," said, Latondra Newton, Toyota group vice president, Social Innovation and Chief Diversity Officer. "This will become a lasting landmark of the rich history of the African American experience for generations."
Toyota has underwritten a special 'Century in the Making: Building the National Museum of African American History and Culture' exhibition, which records the major milestones over the last 100 years that led to the museum's creation, beginning with a 1916 letter from the National Memorial Association to then-President Woodrow Wilson.
In addition to historic preservation, Toyota and the museum share a commitment to reduce energy usage and conserve water. The museum has numerous environmental features including a green roof, water reuse system and use of natural daylight using the building's exterior corona.
"We embrace not only what the museum's designers and curators have achieved in building this historic treasure, we applaud their foresight to enrich our lives and protect our environment with this sustainable museum," said Newton.
The building is expected to achieve LEED gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, the highest level of any museum on the mall.
2017 Toyota Corolla Product Information
Toyota (NYSE:TM), creator of the Prius hybrid and the Mirai fuel cell vehicle, is committed to building vehicles for the way people live through our Toyota and Lexus brands. Over the past 50 years, we've built more than 30 million cars and trucks in North America, where we operate 14 manufacturing plants (10 in the U.S.) and directly employ more than 44,000 people (more than 34,000 in the U.S.). Our 1,800 North American dealerships (1,500 in the U.S.) sold more than 2.8 million cars and trucks (nearly 2.5 million in the U.S.) in 2015 – and about 80 percent of all Toyota vehicles sold over the past 20 years are still on the road today.

Translucent glazes that break across the surface of your ceramic form look great on texture. One way to create a textured surface is by carving. Carving can be deep or shallow, bold or delicate, abstract or representative.
The best tools for carving are a wood stylus or a sgraffito tool, which has a small metal loop. A pencil can substitute for a stylus, and the graphite will burn out in firing. You can use a needle, but the line may be too thin to show up well.
A design can be drawn freehand or traced with paper and a stylus. Use the tracing as a guide as you carve out the design.
Different tools can give varying line quality, try out some different things.
Carving should be done on clay that is leather hard. If the clay is too wet the it will have too little resistance and the crumbs will stick. If the clay is too dry it will chip when carved.
When done, let the piece dry before removing crumbs with a sponge or rib.
When finished with a translucent glaze that enhances texture, like our Celadon glazes for mid-range and high-fire, or some of the LG and F series for low-fire, the results can be stunning.

Q: Minimum time for loading screen I'm trying to figure out how to work this out.. (super beginner here). I have a loading screen on my website that is visible while the page is loading, when it's done loading the div the loader is on gets hidden. I'd like to have some content on the loader, so I need it to stay on the screen for at least 5-8 secs before disappearing.
here's the code:

    if (document.readyState !== "complete") {
        document.querySelector("body").style.visibility = "hidden";
        document.querySelector("#loader").style.visibility = "visible";

GE 116: How Foundr Magazine Grew Its Instagram Account From 0 to 300,000 Followers In Just 10 Months [Podcast] With Nathan Chan
Hi everyone, today's interview is with Nathan Chan, founder of Foundr Magazine, an app-based subscription publication that features high-quality interviews with entrepreneurs like Richard Branson, Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, and Barbara Corcoran.
Beyond revealing his process to actually land these interviews with such seeming hard-to-get celebrity-level entrepreneurs, he also reveals the step-by-step process he went through to grow Foundr Magazine's Instagram account from zero to 300,000 subscribers in just 10 months.
Identifying a Gap in the Publication Market to Launch a Modern Magazine
At it's core, Foundr Magazine is a subscription-based magazine available on iOS and Android mobile devices targeting young entrepreneurs and startup founders.
Two and a half years ago, when Nathan started the magazine, he looked at publications like Forbes, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, and Entrepreneur and knew there was an opportunity for his idea, because the content basis of all of those publications is under the assumption that the reader has already started a business.
When first launching the magazine, Nathan treated it as a passion project which he bootstrapped with $3,000 and only worked on it on the side. He realized he was onto something after six months, and one year after launching it, he was replacing his full-time income with revenues.
What's surprising is he says he's never had a problem getting people to pay for their content, and Foundr Magazine is now a six-figure business, based on their subscription revenue model.
However, looking to the future and the goals of turning Foundr Magazine into an eight-figure business, Nathan is thinking of making the content free for three reasons:
In order to increase monthly readership from 20,000 to hundreds of thousands so they'll be able to compete and make a massive impact, the content needs to be free.
In terms of impact made, free content matters more.
And in terms of leads, a lead is worth much more to them now than just getting someone to pay for the subscription.
The Process for Landing Interviews with Guys Like Richard Branson
Nathan admits that getting interviews with guys like Richard Branson and Seth Godin looks really "WOW!" on the outside.
But when you run a magazine, he says, it's not as difficult as you'd think. The magazine puts you in a position of authority, so then it's just a matter of tracking down the gatekeepers and pitching them. (But it also helps if you have a nice angle to play on.)
For example, with Richard Branson, he tracked down his head of PR, and instead of emailing her (like the rest of the world does), he gave her a phone call, because people will take you more seriously over the phone than they ever will over email. He also played on the fact that Richard's first business venture was a magazine.
After landing Richard as an interviewee and putting his face on the cover, that gave them all the social proof they needed to reach out to more and more influencers, and now it's not a problem to interview anyone.
Another good tip, he says, is to find the publishers. If someone has a new book coming out, for example, they'll want press for it. That's how they landed their interview with Tim Ferriss.
Also, a lot of startups (like AirBNB, DropBox, etc.) all have relationships with PR companies that they pay $10,000 a week to get them press. If you get in touch with those companies and tell them you have a decent-sized readership, you can help make the PR reps look good by giving them another publicity outlet for their clients.
How an Instagram Experiment Turned Into 300,000 Followers in 10 Months
Foundr Magazine launched their Instagram account in November 2014, and since the launch, it's proven to be a massive growth channel and a game-changer in putting Foundr Magazine on the map.
They first started the Instagram account because they were hiring an intern to help out with some things. Nathan had seen some of his friends killing it on Instagram in the health and wellness niche, so he was inspired to try some things with it.
Nathan fiddled with it on his own, and saw their Google Analytics spike after only posting five times within 15 minutes… so he realized they were onto something.
They had the magazine as their bio link in Instagram, which turned out to be a customer acquisition match made in heaven. After just those first few posts, they made an extra $500 to $1,000.
Now, they get 30,000 clicks per month just to one landing page, and at least 10,000 opt-ins per month, and they don't really pay for any of it.
The Five Most Important Tactics That Helped Grow Their Instagram Account
Since launching the Instagram account in November, Foundr Magazine has only missed one day of posting. It's a little difficult, says Nathan, because you can only do it from your phone and there aren't any apps that offer true Instagram automation yet. (Even if something is scheduled, you still have to give it approval at the moment of posting from your phone.)
Posting Frequently
Nathan posts four to eight times per day, depending on his schedule. The more you post, the faster you grow.
Brilliant Images with Watermarks
The images must be good so people will want to share them, says Nathan. And make sure you watermark all of your images.
He also said quotes work much better than facts or tips. Quotes are more powerful for sharing, receiving tags, and likes.
#Hashtags, #Hashtags, and #MoreHashtags
According to Nathan, you should always make sure you max out your hashtags with things that are related to your niche. If you post 30 hashtags once you post an image (in the comments and not as the caption), he says you'll notice a big difference in engagement than if you only put two hashtags. It's a quick win.
Partnership Sharing
Basically, you need to get other accounts to share your stuff while you share their stuff in return. Nathan says this is the biggest Instagram growth hack out there. You can build a following quite rapidly and draw a lot of eyeballs to your page.
Share for Share: Paid vs. Organic
Nathan says to think about share for share as a partnership. And whether you do paid or organic share for share depends on the goals of your account.
If you're bootstrapping, for example, you can grow without paying other accounts to share for you, it will just be a little slower.
But once your past that stage, you can look at the data and decide for yourself. For example, Nathan says that there's certain accounts they're prepared to pay because they knows the metrics and numbers they can provide, and they want to explode their Instagram rather than taking things slow.
How to Find Powerful Instagram Accounts Related to Your Niche
Nathan gives two main hacks to use to find power accounts to reach out to and form partnerships with. The main thing to remember though, is to make sure you find a worthwhile exchange in value. If you can't pay for shares, for example, then you might want to reach out to accounts that are roughly the same size as yours and do a share-for-share agreement.
Search "inurl;instagram.com [your niche] followers"
This is a great way to find influential accounts that have the kind of followers you want to attract.
Look under niche-based hashtags for posts with lots of engagement
This way you can find out who the main influencers are in your niche to see what they're doing and how people interact with different hashtags.
When you find someone you like, he says, you'll know they're open to a paid partnership if they have their email or Kik (messenger) ID in their bio.
Creating Consistent Content for Instagram
Nathan doesn't use a designer for his Instagram image creation, but highly recommends Typorama and Word Swag.
He has a VA in the Phillipines who uses these apps with her iPhone to type in the text of the quote, chose the font, and watermark the image.
The VA creates 50 images per week and loads them into Latergram. When it's time to publish a post, Nathan gets a push notification on his phone, and he approves the post he wants to go live with the caption already pre-filled.
To help her, he gives her a list of Instagram accounts he likes, a list of images they've created that he likes, tells her which apps to use, and has a back-and-forth dialog with her to continually improve what goes live.
After about 12 weeks, he says you can re-use an image. They look for their best-performing posts and use those.
Foundr Magazine's Remote, Global Team
In addition to just hiring a full-time content marketer, Foundr Magazine works with contractors all over the world.
For example, they have a graphic design and editorial team based in Bangalore, an editor based in Boston, 10 to 20 freelance writers from all over, an audio/video editor in Hungary, and a VA in the Philippines. Looking forward, Nathan says he'd like to hire another VA and a business development guy in the next four to six months.
Getting Sued for Trademark Infringement
After the first four months of the magazine, Nathan got a call that he was being sued for Trademark infringement.
It ended up being a good thing because he changed the name to something much better, but at the time, he though all of his hard work had gone to waste and that he might go bankrupt.

Watch somebody else killing.
Purely by coincidence, I found an old & dusty videotape in the horror closet of an acquaintance of mine and the cover displayed the bizarre title (in Dutch) "Revenge of the Cat". I had to perform a search on the actors' names in order to find out that it actually was "Watch me when I Kill" (a.k.a. "The Cat's Victims", a.k.a "The Cat with the Jade Eyes") and initially that was a pleasant surprise, since this Italian late 70's giallo has been on my purchase list for quite some time now! After seeing it, I'm even more glad that I didn't spend money on a fancy DVD-version, as it is quite a disappointing and overly confusing horror effort. Surely not the worst film of its kind, but pretty bleak compared to the works of Sergio Martino or, of course, Dario Argento. The main problem with Antonio Bido's film is that it makes absolutely no attempts to involve the viewer in the search for the maniacal killer. Someone, who stays off screen all the time and deforms his voice whenever he leaves messages to his next victims, is seemly randomly killing people and it nearly takes half of the movie before we get informed that all the victims sat in the same jury committee during a lawsuit against a criminal who recently escaped from prison. That still doesn't reveal the killer's identity, but at least you can guess along from this point. Due to the lack of background during the beginning, "Watch me when I Kill" often feels a bit slow and dull. There's not much atmosphere and ever fewer tension, and the private detective character isn't the least bit amiable. The murders, on the other hand, are lusciously gore, with a close-up slit throat, a woman suffocated in a dish of food and the must brutal strangulation I ever saw. The cinematography sadly is too dark, although that might have been due to poor videotape quality, but the score is terrific (probably the best thing about the entire film) and the climax is fairly surprising.

just a few too many red herrings
Not the most shocking, nor the most bloody, nor the most stylish of giallo, but it's likable enough and is just that little bit different. Much helped by a very decent performance from Corrado Pani as the cigar chomping guy who seeks to unravel one of the most complicated of tales. Far too many characters and just a few too many red herrings and yet it does keep going and if Paola Tedesco as the female lead does not match the performance of Pani, this may be the fault of the dubbers. Not awash with killings, what there are, are very good. The first one is a bit pedestrian but the fantastic bath scene killing and the one backstage with all the costume are worth the admission price and if the ending is a bit abrupt, it is conclusive and brought a smile to my face. Effective score.

Solid underrated giallo effort
After the murder of a pharmacist, a series of follow-up murders to those around her forces a woman to turn to her boyfriend to help get her out of the situation, and when he realizes that there's a far-reaching motivation for the crime spree races to stop it in order to protect her. This one here was a generally enjoyable genre entry. Among the film's brighter aspects is the actual mystery at play that's pretty intricate and allows for great time uncovering its purpose. From the seemingly random attack on the pharmacist followed-up by the failed attack on the witness, there's a worthwhile lead in that makes it curious about the need to decipher the recorded message left on the phone filled with dogs barking and the threatening message. Likewise, the unraveling mystery about the criminal case all the main players are involved in makes this one interesting as the film generates the kind of grand connection that's fully revealing in a shocking finale. As well, the film also manages to ge a lot to like with the stalking scenes featured throughout here. The initial attack in the store is a fine shock, as is the aborted stalking attempt in the girls' house where the killer gets scared off before doing anything are rather fun scenes that give this some enjoyable thrills. The other attacks, ranging from the stellar sequence of the girl being attacked in the wardrobe department, the bathroom ambush in the hotel or the final confrontation in the house give this some rousing action along the way as well. These here give the film a lot to like overall. This one does have a few minor flaws. The main problem is the fact that this one really feels underwhelming with a lot of the stock genre tropes that are in play. The investigation manages to forsake a lot of rational thought from the leads as the fact that bodies have been piling up with no interaction from the authorities. The attacks that happen here should warrant police protection or more of a presence here, yet it's all dismissed due to a one-line writer-off thinking the police would rather throw the party in jail rather than protect them for what they know about the crimes, a fact brought up after several bodies have turned up and one attack on their lives which is completely ridiculous to believe it would play as such. That also ties in marginally with the other flaw in that there's a pretty sluggish pace here. The central investigation here tends to rely much more on sudden realizations about clues and sheer coincidences about the various events which are told in excruciatingly long conversations. The meeting with the pharmacists' widow or the tile salesman are filled with fine informational leads that just lead to some overlong scenes, much like the final half which consists mainly of him running around the small-town by himself collecting the final pieces to the puzzle alone while she's alone at the house with no protection. This should've been carried out together instead of setting her up for the killer to attack, another feature from the earlier segment and are what holds this one back.

In 2011, I decided to create a 3 minute montage of some of my images to commemorate Earth Day (April 22nd each year). My goal was to celebrate the planet's natural beauty and put forth the message of conservation and preservation.
Initially, I planned on making a new video each year, but life got in the way. So, until such time as I can create a new one, I re-post the original around Earth Day each year.
I added natural sound to the finished piece and the haunting musical soundtrack is Willow and the Light by Kevin MacLeod. (A good pair of stereo headphones can enhance the experience).
If you haven't seen it before, I hope you enjoy it and when it comes to Mother Earth…choose wisely.


LACK OF BASIC DISEASE BIOLOGY UNDERSTANDING. FEW TOOLS TO DIAGNOSE PATIENTS. POOR TREATMENT OPTIONS. NO CURE. Patients and families affected by chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) face many challenges and critical unmet needs, issues mirrored by the current state of the disease's research. In September 2015, the Milken Institute Philanthropy Advisory Service (PAS) convened leading academic, clinical, industry, and foundation stakeholders to discuss the state of CMML science and the key challenges impeding research progress. In this Giving Smarter Guide, PAS presents the critical issue areas, and recommendations of how strategic philanthropic investments can change the trajectory of research and ultimately benefit CMML patients.
Each year in the United States, leukemia claims the lives of more than 24,000 people and affects an estimated 330,000 more. On a societal scale, the economic burden of leukemia is immense, estimated at $5.44 billion annually, and projected to increase by 25 percent over the next 10 years. While the incidence and burden of the disease are daunting, sustained public and private investments in leukemia research have refined what was known as a "disease of the blood" into approximately 38 different types of leukemia. With targeted research into specific leukemias, medical breakthroughs have led to an impressive quadrupling of the overall five-year survival rate for leukemia patients, from 14 to 60.3 percent.
While specific classes of leukemia patients have experienced dramatic success in the last several years, those affected by CMML have not been as fortunate. As a chronic and aggressive disease, patients diagnosed with CMML have a median survival of 15 to 20 months. Furthermore, a small percentage of CMML patients are cancer survivors, who developed the disease as a complication of chemotherapy for their previous cancer.
However, recent advancements in CMML diagnosis have led to its re-classification as a myelodysplastic/ myeloproliferative syndrome (MDS/MPN). If the historical arc of leukemia research is applied to CMML, then improved diagnosis coupled with dedicated research will greatly benefit CMML patients. Strategic investments in diagnostic and prognostic tools, infrastructure, and discovery science can play a catalytic role in developing novel, targeted treatments options for CMML, and the related MDS/MPN syndromes.
Why should I invest in CMML research?
What key things should I know about the disease?
How can philanthropy expand infrastructure to support CMML research and advance new therapies?

What's Rule of Law?
This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published December 10, 2014 on Townhall.com.
President Barack Obama said just before the recent Ferguson, Missouri, riots, "First and foremost, we are a nation built on the rule of law." Most Americans have little or no inkling of what "rule of law" means. Many think it means obedience to whatever laws legislatures enact. That's a vision that has led to human tragedy down through the ages. Historically, it sanctioned the divine right of kings, whereby a monarch was subject to no earthly authority, deriving his right to rule directly from the will of God. More recently, it's a vision that included the Nuremberg laws, which led to the genocide of European Jews, and the brutal laws of the regimes of Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong, which led to tens of millions of murders.
Let's ask ourselves what the characteristics of laws in a free society should be. Let's think about baseball rules (laws) as a way to approach this. Some players, through no fault of their own, hit fewer home runs than others. In order to create baseball justice, or what's sometimes called a level playing field, how about a rule requiring pitchers to throw easier pitches to poorer home run hitters? Alternatively, we could make a rule that what would be a double for a power hitter is a home run for someone who doesn't hit many homers.
Some pitchers aren't so good as others. How about allowing those pitchers to stand closer to home plate? Better yet, we could rule their first two pitches as strikes, regardless of whether they are or not. In the interest of baseball justice, we might make special rules for some players and not for others. That would level the playing field between old players and young players, black players and white players and fast runners and slow runners. Umpires would become arbiters of baseball justice.
You say, "Williams, you can't be serious! Can you imagine all the chaos that would ensue: players lobbying umpires, umpires deciding who gets what favor, and lawsuits — not to mention violence?" You're absolutely right. The reason baseball games end peaceably — with players and team owners satisfied with the process, whether they win or lose — is that baseball rules (law) are applied equally to all players. They're fixed, and umpires don't make up rules as they go along. In other words, baseball rules meet the test of "abstractness." They envision no particular game outcome in terms of winners and losers. The rules that govern baseball simply create a framework in which the game is played.
Laws or rules in a free society should have similar characteristics; there should be "rule of law." Rule of law means that laws are certain and known in advance. Laws envision no particular outcome except that of allowing people to peaceably pursue their own objectives. Finally, and most importantly, laws are equally applied to everyone, including government officials.
Sir Henry Sumner Maine, probably the greatest legal historian ever, wrote, "The movement of the progressive societies has hitherto been a movement from Status to Contract." In non-progressive societies, rule of law is absent. Laws are not general. They're applied according to a person's status or group membership. There's rule not by legis, the Latin word for law, but by privilegium, the Latin term for private law.
Let's look at our country and ask whether we live under rule of law. Just about every law that Congress enacts violates the requirements for rule of law. How do we determine violations of rule of law? It's easy. See whether the law applies to particular Americans, as opposed to all Americans. See whether the law exempts public officials from its application. See whether the law is known in advance. See whether the law takes action against a person who has taken no aggressive action against another. If one conducts such a test, he will conclude that it is virtually impossible to find a single act of Congress that adheres to the principles of the rule of law. The supreme tragedy is Americans do not want rule of law.

Blues' 12 Days of Hockeymas: 4 Jack Adams Winning Coaches
December 21, 2020 by Stephen Ground
The '12 Days of Christmas' is a classic holiday song first published in its current form in 1908. In a nod to the classic carol, join The Hockey Writers as we count down the 12 Days of Hockeymas. Each day, we will provide you with a piece of hockey history as we eagerly await the start of the 2020-21 NHL season.
The St. Louis Blues have had a number of great coaches spend time in their organization, including four of the five winningest coaches in NHL history. In fact, two of the top five began their career as the first two coaches in franchise history. Scotty Bowman's first season behind an NHL bench was the Blues' inaugural season (1967-68), and when he left for the Montreal Canadiens after the 1970-71 season, Al Arbour took his place and spent three seasons coaching in the Gateway City.

Through a 50-plus year history as a franchise, the Blues have had many great seasons. But four of them stand above the rest as far as coaching is concerned, because the Blues' bench boss has won the Jack Adams Award honoring the best head coach in the NHL four times. Let's look at each in turn.
Red Berenson (1980-81)
Red Berenson was a great player for the Blues and became a legendary head coach for the Michigan Wolverines of the NCAA. But he got his coaching start in the NHL with St. Louis. He took over the Blues for the 1979-80 season, an unremarkable season for the franchise. They finished second in the Smythe Division, with a 34-34-12 record. It was enough to get them into the playoffs, but they were quickly swept in three games by the Chicago Black Hawks (as their name was stylized at the time).
Red Berenson: headed to Rangers?
The following season was Berenson's best as an NHL coach and the reason he won the Jack Adams Award. The Blues won the Smythe Division with an impressive 45-18-17 record. They defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 in the Preliminary Round before falling to the New York Rangers in the Quarterfinals in six games. The 107 point season was enough to win Berenson the franchise's first Jack Adams Award.
Unfortunately, the franchise fell into some turmoil, even considering a move to Saskatchewan in the early 80s. The 1981-82 season was a 72 point disappointment, and it would be Berenson's last with the Blues.
Brian Sutter (1990-91)
The Blues would next win the Jack Adams Award exactly a decade later. Brian Sutter had been a player under coach Berenson and a mighty good one. He was the franchise's longest-tenured captain, so the transition to head coach immediately upon his retirement in 1988 was a natural fit. Sutter's first two seasons were unremarkable, though the team made the second round of the postseason each time.

Armed with the legendary and all-too short-lived Blues duo of Brett Hull and Adam Oates, along with new and controversial arrival Scott Stevens, the Blues were loaded for bear for the 1990-91 season. They finished 47-22-11, trailing only the Blackhawks in the Norris Division. The 105 points won Sutter the Jack Adams Award. But with both Oates and Stevens gone the following season, the team fell to 83 points. Like Berenson, Sutter would depart just one season after winning the coveted coaching honor.
Joel Quenneville (1999-2000)
Like Arbour and Bowman before him, Joel Quenneville began his legendary NHL coaching career with the St. Louis Blues in the 1997-98 season. Armed with a magnificent mustache and a loaded roster, the franchise saw some of its best years during his tenure (1997-2004).
The Blues went 37-32-13 in Quenneville's first season behind the bench, making the playoffs with 87 points. But the following season was arguably the franchise's greatest. They finished 51-19-11 with 114 points, winning the Blues their only Presidents' Trophy. Despite a crushing seven-game defeat to the San Jose Sharks in the opening round of the playoffs, it was a strong enough campaign to win Quenneville the Jack Adams Award in his sophomore season.

Quenneville would go on to become the Blues' winningest coach, finishing with 307 wins in 593 games behind the bench. But the team foolishly fired him during the 2003-04 season, before he would go on to coach the Colorado Avalanche, the Blackhawks (where he would win three Stanley Cups) and now the Florida Panthers.
Ken Hitchcock (2011-12)
The franchise fell into disrepair after Quenneville's departure, and general manager Doug Armstrong turned to a friend to lift them out of it. Ken Hitchcock arrived during the 2011-12 season, and though he would only oversee 69 of the team's game that season, he turned around a struggling franchise almost immediately.
Going 43-15-11 under Hitchcock, the Blues made the postseason for the first time in three seasons and only the second time in their last seven (dating back to the vacated 2004-05 season). The Blues even beat the San Jose Sharks in five games in the first round of the playoffs. That turnaround was enough for Hitchcock to win the Jack Adams Award, becoming one of three coaches (with Bill Barber and Bruce Boudreau) to do so after taking over a team midseason.
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
Hitchcock would coach the Blues until the 2016-17 season, when his acerbic personality would eventually cause an irreparable rift with the players. He remains the highest-ranked Blues head coach on points percentage (discounting current head coach Craig Berube's one and a half seasons with the Blues).
Berube Barely Misses
Speaking of the active head coach, Berube almost became the fourth head coach to win the Jack Adams Award after taking over a franchise midseason. He joined the franchise during the 2018-19 season and helped pull them back from the brink and make the playoffs, ultimately winning their first-ever Stanley Cup. Berube was a finalist for that year's award but would ultimately lose out to Barry Trotz.
The franchise has seen many great coaches through the years, including many of the greatest of all time. But in these four occasions, the voters recognized the Blues' head coach as the best in the NHL that season. All four were deserving winners, and all four leave a significant legacy behind them in St. Louis.

Following the Restful principles, I made the method as @GET and provided the url path as shown below:
@Path("/EmployeeDetails")
public class EmployeeService {
@GET
@Path("/emp/{param}")
public Response getEmpDetails(@PathParam("param") Employee empDetails) {

    //Get the employee details, get the db values and return the Employee Id.

    return Response.status(200).entity("returnEmployeeId").build();

}
}

For testing purpose, I wrote this Client:
public class ServiceClient {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig();
    Client client = Client.create(config);
    WebResource service = client.resource(getBaseURI());

    Employee emp = new Employee();
    emp.name = "Junk Name";
    emp.age = "20";
    System.out.println(service.path("rest").path("emp/" + emp).accept(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).get(String.class));

}

private static URI getBaseURI() {
    return UriBuilder.fromUri("http://localhost:8045/AppName").build();
}

}
When I run it, I am getting the error: Method, public javax.ws.rs.core.Response com.rest.EmployeeService.getEmpDetails(com.model.Employee), annotated with GET of resource, class com.rest.EmployeeService, is not recognized as valid resource method.
Edit:
Model:
package com.model;

public class Employee {

public String name;
public String age;

}

Please let me know where is the issue, I am a beginner in this and struggling to understand the concepts :(

A: JAX-RS cannot automatically convert a @PathParam (which is a string value), into an Employee object. Requirements for objects that can be automatically created from a @PathParam are:

*

*String (defacto, because the data is already a string)

*Objects with a constructor that accepts a (single) string as argument

*Objects with a static valueOf(String) method

For cases 2 & 3 the object would be required to parse the string data and populate its internal state. This is not normally done (because it forces you to make assumptions about the content type of the data). For your situation (just beginning to learn JAX-RS), its best to just accept the incoming @PathParam data as a String (or Integer, or Long).
@GET
@Path("/emp/{id}")
public Response getEmpDetails(@PathParam("id") String empId) {
    return Response.status(200).entity(empId).build();
}

Passing a complex object representation to a REST service in a GET method doesn't make much sense, unless its being used, eg, as a search filter. Based on your feedback, that is what you are trying to do. I've actually done this on a project before (generic implementation of search filters), the one caveat being that you need to strictly define the format of the search data. So, lets define JSON as the accepted format (you can adapt the example to other formats as needed). The 'search object' will be passed to the service as a query parameter called filter.
@GET
@Path("/emp")
public Response getEmployees(@QueryParam("filter") String filter) {
    // The filter needs to be converted to an Employee object. Use your
    // favorite JSON library to convert. I will illustrate the conversion
    // with Jackson, since it ships with Jersey
    final Employee empTemplate = new ObjectMapper().readValue(filter, Employee.class);

    // Do your database search, etc, etc
    final String id = getMatchingId(empTemplate);

    // return an appropriate response
    return Response.status(200).entity(id).build();
}

And in your client class:
final String json = new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(emp);
service
    .path("rest")
    .path("emp")
    .queryParam("filter", json)
    .accept(emp, MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    .get(String.class)

A: I got the same issue but I just fixed it
jersey jars used in your application should have same versions.

A: It's quite strange that you want to serialize an entity (Employee) into an url path segment. I'm not saying it's impossible, but strange, and then you have to make sure that the Employee class satisfies the following criteria (which is from the javadoc of @PathParam)

The type of the annotated parameter, field or property must either:
  ... (irrelevant part)
  Have a constructor that accepts a single String argument.
  Have a static method named valueOf or fromString that accepts a single String argument (see, for example, Integer.valueOf(String)).

You might want to pass the Employee object in the request body raher than in a path param. To chieve this, annotate the Employee class with @XmlRootElement,remove the @PathParam annotation from the method's empDetails argument, and change @GET to @POST.
