Q: Laravel Notification multiple users with pusherjs What I'm doing in sending a Notification to multiple users with Laravel Facade
Notification::send($users, new PartenaireSendCRNotification($data));

This is the PartenaireSendCRNotification class:
// I need the Database and Broadcast on Pusher channel
public function via($notifiable)
{
    return ['database', 'broadcast'];
}

// Name of the Pusher channel
public function broadcastOn()
{
    return ["new-cr-from-part"];
}

// Send data
public function toArray($notifiable)
{
    return [
        'data' => $this->data
    ];
}

On the Front End (blade and js):
 @if(Auth::user()->isAdmin || Auth::user()->isConfirmation)
     <script>
         // ... some pusher configuration

         // subscribe to the channel 'new-cr-from-part'
         let channel = pusher.subscribe('new-cr-from-part');

         // listen for event BroadcastNotificationCreated
         channel.bind(
            'Illuminate\\Notifications\\Events\\BroadcastNotificationCreated',
            function(data) {
                 console.log(data);
                 // Some javascript
                 receiveCRNotification();
         });

     </script>
@endif

Only 6 users match the condition to execute the script for listening to the channel.
When I test it, every thing works fine (I have 6 notifications in the Database) but the js after the binding to the channel is executed 6 times for every user.
What I'm missing?

ITIC was formed in 1992 through the merger of CISBA CLUB, a mutual insurer of shipbrokers, founded in 1925, and Transport Intermediaries Mutual Insurance Association (TIM).
Transport Intermediaries Mutual Insurance Association was formed in 1985 by Thomas R. Miller & Sons partnership with a view to expanding the sources and availability of liability insurance for all professionals in the transport industry. Since 1992, ITIC has grown steadily and has nearly 2,300 members in over 100 countries.
Today ITIC is managed by ITIM Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Thomas Miller & Co Ltd. Thomas Miller manages a number of world-leading mutual and other insurance companies providing insurance for shipping, transport and professional indemnity risks, including UK P&I Club, TT Club, HAMIA, BLP, OPDU, PAMIA and Bar Mutual.
A history of ITIC
The International Transport Intermediaries Club (ITIC) traces its origins to the Chartered Shipbrokers Protection Association, first formed as an unincorporated association on 2nd December, 1925. The name of the organisation is testimony to the fact that it was founded by a number of prominent members of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers carrying on their business as port agents and brokers in London and ports throughout the country. The Association was formed to tackle the problem of unpaid commissions. There had been a number of cases decided by the English courts in the period between 1916 and 1925. One of these had gone all the way to the House of Lords, the English Supreme Court, and set the procedural basis for shipbrokers to claim their commission.
Defending shipbrokers
Since the costs of litigating these cases was considerable it was decided that chartered shipbrokers should be given the opportunity to join a defence association very similar to those which already existed for the benefit of ship owners. In this way, the legal costs would be met at least partially by the Association. Membership of the Association was originally confined to firms and companies of which one or more of the partners or directors was a Fellow or Associate of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers. The first Chairman was Mr. Joseph Fawcett of Fawcett Coverdale & Co Ltd and the original Secretary was a Mr. Eric J. Edward, a solicitor and partner in the firm of Edward and Childs. The relationship between the management of the Association and the solicitors firm lasted until the 1980's. Today ITIC is managed by a subsidiary of Thomas Miller & Co. Ltd, a firm specialising in the management of mutual clubs.
In 1937 the Association was incorporated under the Companies Act 1929 as a non-profit making company limited by a guarantee. ITIC remains a non-profit organisation existing for the benefit of its Members. It also still provides debt collection services and since 1992 has recovered about USD 40 million.
It became apparent by the end of the 1930's that shipbrokers also required insurance cover against claims for professional negligence. A separate Class II Indemnity cover was created for this purpose. At the same time the name was changed to The Chartered Shipbrokers Protection & Indemnity Association Limited to reflect this wider role. Originally all claims were met under a policy issued by Lloyds Underwriters, although the Association agreed to investigate and settle claims on underwriter's behalf and to pay the associated costs.
A subscription fee of only one guinea per annum...
The cover provided in those early days was limited to £2,000 any one claim and £20,000 in the aggregate any one year. The original subscription was only one guinea (£1.05) per annum. For Class II Indemnity the charge was 30 shillings (£1.50) per first partner or director and 15 shillings (75p) for each additional partner or director. During the 1960's it became apparent that ship agents and ship brokers overseas who, at that time, had no connection with the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers would appreciate similar insurance and defence cover to that provided by the Association. The then Managers were Hedleys, a firm of solicitors, who were the successors of Edwards and Childs, and they formed a parallel mutual association called The International Ship Brokers & Agents P&I Club Limited (ISBA Club). Within a few years the number of members of ISBA Club had overtaken that of the earlier association and it was felt by the Directors of both Clubs that a merger of the two organisations would create substantial economies.
Accordingly, after resolutions adopted by the members of both Clubs, ISBA Club and CSP&I came together in 1983 to form the Chartered and International Ship Brokers Protection & Indemnity Association Limited (CISBACLUB).
The next milestone for the Club came in March 1985 when the management contract passed from Hedleys to Tindall Riley & Co. The latter were also (and remain so today) the managers of the Britannia Steam Ship Mutual Insurance Association Limited, a mutual insurance club for ship owners.
In 1992 the members of CISBACLUB agreed to merge with Transport Intermediaries Mutual Insurance Association Ltd., (TIM). The latter had been formed in 1985 by the Thos. R. Miller & Son partnership (later incorporated to form Thomas Miller & Co. Limited), with a view to expanding the sources and availability of liability insurance for ship agents, ship brokers and the growing profession of ship managers.
The merger promised, and has provided, a stronger base from which to supply insurance to transport professionals throughout the world. The Club has grown steadily since the merger and currently insures 2,300 members in more than 100 countries.
ITIC turns 25
To celebrate this auspicious occasion, a 25th anniversary party was held at Merchant Taylors' Hall, in London, on Thursday 29th June 2017.

The Insolvency Bill has finally passed all stages the Oireachtas and will be enacted before the end of the year. It is due to come into force by the end of March next year.
The main purpose is to provide a mechanism is to deal with the resolution of loans in difficulty ranging from €20,000.00 up to €3,000,000.00.
It is hoped that the Act will in the appropriate circumstances, bring about a level of debt write off. The Act provides for the fall back situation that if agreement cannot be reached between the debtor and the financial institution concerned that bankruptcy may be an unavoidable consequence. The bankruptcy period has been reduced from 12 years to a more manageable 3 year period although there are circumstances where this can be extended to 8 years if there has been evidence of non-disclosure on the part of the debtor.
Much of the debate in relation to the legislation has centred around the veto which Banks will have on any debt forgiveness proposal. However the reality is that the Banks will have to exercise a certain amount of commercial sense to any such proposals. If it simply refuses to agree to reasonable proposals it is possible that debtors will opt for bankruptcy and the Banks will lose out significantly on the security of its assets.
Debt Relief Notice which deals with debts of less than €20,000.00 where people have a very low disposable income and where they have no secured assets. It is envisaged that such debt relief notices will be negotiated directly between the debtor and the Banks.
The second arrangement is a Debt Settlement Arrangement which deals with unsecured debt of greater than €20,000.00.
The third element which is likely to be the most used of the three options is the Personal Insolvency Arrangement (PIA) which is aimed at those with secured assets including mortgage debt in excess of €20,000.00 but no greater than €3,000,000.00. This will only apply where there is no possibility of full repayment.
This will involve negotiations with a Personal Insolvency Practitioner who will try to negotiate an agreement between the debtor and the institution. Any such arrangements must be approved by the Circuit Court. The Minister has indicated that eight specialist Judges will be assigned to the applications.
In order for such a proposal to be approved no less than 65% of the secured lenders must agree to the PIA which will involve payments by the debtor for a period of six years.
Time will tell as to how successful this Act is going to be but it is likely to be of significant assistance to people with severe mortgage debt. We at Dillons have been advising many clients on Personal Insolvency related issues for a number of years.

Q: Expanding lists push other relative positioned elements up - they should stay still Let me start off with this fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/Lwhpgmma/
Basically I have some list items like this:

Filter by Hosting

Ghost Host

They Host

You Host

Server

Filter by Game Mode

Soccar

Snowday

Hoops

The inner
 is hidden via line-height: 0; on the parent
 element. However, when an
 element is clicked, the .active class is added and it gets set to line-height: normal;
This all works fine, except that it causes some ugly results when these first-tier
 elements are stacked on-top of each other, like they are in the fiddle demo.
You'll notice when you click Manfield or $100 list elements, that the list elements above them (Server and Soccar) get pushed up. They should stay in the same place they currently are, and the menu from the active
 should simply flow over the other inactive
 elements.
I tried changing the first-tier elements from
 to  which solved the issue of the top options bringing their horizontal siblings along for the ride, but doesn't solve the issue of the bottom elements pushing their upper siblings when they expand.
I hope this makes sense.

A: Use CSS Positioning for this and instead of overflow use flexbox, like:
.dot-overflow {
  position: relative;
}

.dot-overflow.active ul {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  background: #0F1316;
}

/* Make it a flex container */
ul.specifics {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

Have a look at the working snippet below (use full screen to see it properly):

// handle the specifics dropdowns
var allSpecifics = $('ul.specifics > li');
$(document).on('click', 'ul.specifics > li', function(event) {
  var openThis = ($(this).hasClass('active')) ? false : true;
  allSpecifics.removeClass('active');
  if (openThis)
    $(this).addClass('active');
  else {
    // selected an option
    $(event.target).closest('li[data-value]').addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
  }
}).click(function(event) {
  if (!$(event.target).closest('ul.specifics > li').length || $(event.target).closest('ul.specifics > li.active > ul > li:first-of-type').length) {
    allSpecifics.removeClass('active');
  }
});

Result of Appeal for Opinions on Draft Ministerial Ordinance for MIC-related Enforcement of the National Strategic Special Zone Act
August 12, 2020 Result of Appeal for Opinions on Draft Ministerial Ordinance for MIC-related Enforcement of the National Strategic Special Zone Act
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) made an appeal for opinions from Tuesday, June 9 through Wednesday, July 8, 2020, for a ministerial ordinance for MIC-related enforcement of the National Strategic Special Zone Act. This ordinance is based on the provisions of Article 25-2, Paragraph 3 of the National Strategic Special Zone Act (Act No. 107 of 2013). These provisions were promulgated on June 3, 2020, based on the Act for Revising a Part of the National Strategic Special Zone Act (Act No. 34 of 2020). As a result, two opinions were submitted. Accordingly, MIC has decided to open the opinions to the public, along with MIC's views on the opinions.
The Act for Revising a Part of the National Strategic Special Zone Act (Act No. 34 of 2020) was promulgated on June 3, 2020, in response to a growing demand for innovative technical demonstrations of autonomous vehicles and crewless aerial vehicles. The Act added Paragraph 3 to Article 25-2 of the National Strategic Special Zone Act, based on which MIC drafted this ministerial ordinance for MIC-related enforcement of the National Strategic Special Zone Act. The drafted ordinance stipulates a scope of radio technologies related to special-purpose automobiles and that related to crewless aerial vehicle applications.
2. Future plans
With consideration of the result of the appeal for opinions, MIC will promptly make institutional development to establish the ministerial ordinance for MIC-related enforcement of the National Strategic Special Zone Act.
The published material is in Japanese only.

Richmond, VA – July 2009 – The Chancery Records Index (CRI) is a result of archival processing and indexing projects overseen by the Library of Virginia (LVA) and funded, in part, by the Virginia Circuit Court Records Preservation Program (CCRP). Each of Virginia's circuit courts created chancery records that contain considerable historical and genealogical information. Because the records rely so heavily on testimony from witnesses, they offer a unique glimpse into the lives of Virginians from the early 18th century through the First World War.
As part of the project, The Crowley Company is currently converting historical content from the 19 localities in Virginia to include Chancery Cases and related documentation. The material in question dates back to the mid-1800's. Crowley is scanning to color JPEG2000 file format along with delivery of several derivative file formats. This project utilizes the Zeutschel 10000TT Color Book Scanner. In excess of 3 million images has been scanned to date and the project will continue for several years. Daily scan totals for this project are roughly 8,000 images per shift or 14,000 images per day.
The original court papers are flat-filed, indexed and conserved using a set of standards developed by the LVA. Since the tri-folded records are often in poor condition, special attention is paid to preparing them for digital reformatting. This laborious process is undertaken so that the best quality images can be captured in one effort. The valuable original records are then retired to secure storage.
The reformatted images—whether digital scans or microfilm—can be viewed at the Library of Virginia, at the circuit court clerk's office or, in the case of digital images, from any internet-connected computer. The indexed but-not-yet-reformatted original records in the Library's care can be viewed in the Archives Research Room prior to reformatting. During reformatting, some or all of the original records may be unavailable for viewing; however, the full index will remain available for research purposes. Information is added to the CRI in such instances to alert researchers regarding a collection's availability.
There are over 195,000 cases indexed in the database and nearly 5 million images of chancery causes available online.


Beautiful entrance to BlackHorse Ranch South. This is typical of what you and visitors will see when entering the community. The entrance is maintained by landscapers year round.
BlackHorse Ranch is a beautiful golf course community in Cypress, TX with many amenities to offer and is in the popular Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District (also known as Cyfair ISD). BlackHorse Ranch and BlackHorse Ranch South are located off of Fry Rd., just south of Hwy. 290.
Students currently attend Warner Elementary, Smith Middle School and Cy-Ranch High School. These schools seem to be among parent and student favorites within the district.
Blackhorse offers many community amenities including swimming pools, splash pad, lakes, trails throughout the community, picnic area, playground and more. If you want to live in a beautiful neighborhood with resort-style amenities available to homeowners, Blackhorse Ranch and BlackHorse Ranch South are definitely areas to consider!
This is the pool in BlackHorse Ranch South. It has a water ledge for sunbathers and for the little ones to enjoy. And then there are the tubes to slide through for those with more energy to burn.
Also, at the pool area, you'll see the splash pad, playground which includes a row of swings and a covered picnic area. Trails throught the community lead to this wonderful community center.
Great shopping is nearby. Blackhorse Ranch is only a few minutes from Memorial City Shopping Mall to the south and The Premium Outlet Mall to the northwest. And, of course, there are grocery stores and many smaller shopping centers scattered throughout the area as well.
There is definitely no shortage of restaurants in the Cypress area! Some of my favorites near BlackHorse Ranch are Cypress Station (family style menu), Redfish Seafood Grill, Alicia's Mexican Grill, Friday's, Luby's, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Spring Creek Bar-B-Que, Carl's Bar-B-Que and On the Border Mexican Grill. And there's plenty of others, including most all of the big franchises, but these are some of the locals that I especially enjoy eating at.
Hello Joyce, Now this looks like a great place, of course you got my interest when you had golf, Hope you have a great day today!


Episode 22 : How do you deal with Grief? What is it? Why do we need it?
An episode dedicated to Grief and a personal battle that can be flipped in to a positive light.
Yours truly - "KB" - shares a recent battle with low mood mumbo-jumbo... Grief. Grief can come in many forms, but typically it is classified as being one of L O S S .
This podcast gives light that "CHANGE" could be the absolutely BEST cure for grief or any depressive state. In my opinion, Monotony is the BEAST of Depression.
How do you improve this state?
Another big task I have taken on is the self experimentation and HOLLLLLAAAAAA - relief of mood boosting endorphins from going to US CRYOTHERAPY - a.k.a - the COLD CHAMBER!!! You have GOT to try this! My recommendation is to go multiple times to get the most benefits.
I hope you enjoy this topic and can relate.


Let's face it: most relationships fail before they hit the altar. That's okay. Dating requires a lot of trial and error. But what happens when you find someone special? How should you treat him? How should he treat you? What can you do to ensure the long-term success of your relationship? In this Love U Podcast, I'm going to tell you how to embody the habits of the happiest marriages.

Hi Evan- I appreciate your videos and the great information you provide but just wanted to provide a little feedback- any chance you can make your videos around 15 minutes or less? It would greatly help (me) to watch them. I know you don't add unnecessary fluff. Thanks.
Thanks for your feedback. It's a fair request, but unlikely. The original format was two 12 minute segments on one topic. Then I decided that if I was on a roll, I didn't want to stop after 12 minutes, so I've loosened up and my podcasts have been closer to a half-hour. In the future, I will be coaching clients and interviewing guests, so I'd guess my stuff will last longer rather than shorter. Hope you still find reason to tune in.
On-air coaching? Sounds awesome! Looking forward to those segments.
Your advice is amazing! I'm so glad you are "on a roll." You're making a huge difference!
I'm the opposite, wish the podcast were longer. I usually let it play in the background while I'm cleaning or something.
I bluetooth my phone to my car stereo. So I often listen to Evan's (and others') videos on the way to/from work.
Of course, make sure you have a good data plan if you do that.
I've had issues downloading Evan's podcasts, so I don't listen that way, but if his podcasts download and play properly for you, you can avoid the streaming data costs (I think).
Thanks Evan–this is timely for me since I'm in that exact situation, of (finally) finding someone special, and wanting to fortify our relationship even more. I actually don't think any of us should stop growing and learning about love, even after finding someone. Not to say a relationship is "work", but it still takes effort to sustain it.
No relationship is ever completely perfect, since no human beings are perfect. But I think the good relationships are ones where both parties, overall, get their core needs met. I have found that the key has been compromising on (and not sweating) the "small" stuff–while maintaining healthy boundaries on the "big" stuff.
I learned a lot by observing my guy with his mother. She's the one who (like many other mothers) will nag him over every little thing, big or small. After a while, he has gotten so used to her nagging that he's gotten numb to it, letting it go in one ear and out the next. I learned not to be that and to really let certain things go if it's not a big dealbreaker.
That has enabled me to get my needs met on the "big" stuff. My guy has seen that I let 99% of things slide…so in the 1% of the time I really do draw a hard line in the sand, that really grabs his attention. He has seen that most things usually don't bug me that much. He knows something must be a really big deal, for me to be speaking out. That really is the key, separating the wheat from the chaff.
LOL! Maybe that's the way to do it. 🙂 As they say, a happy wife is a happy life!
Evan, I found this podcast to be most informational and definitely spot on! You covered all the points that are so necessary for a good relationship. It is all about the give and take. I have learned so much from you. I have been reading all of your blogs even prior to your marriage to your wonderful wife. I personally didn't think you would ever get married. Lo and behold, Evan found "the one". Hey, that gave me so much hope. It really does help when you explain how you and your wife help each other and sometimes have to commit to something that neither of you really wants to do but do it because you have a great love for each other. Absolutely loved this podcast!
By the way, I think I have finally found that special guy. He is all that you say a good man should be. Kind, considerate, caring and always planning the next date. As you always say, one must step outside the box and you might find that height and hair does not matter at all! So it is in this case! Thank you Evan!
1) E, I like your podcast music, it is light and memorable without being annoying. I was pleased that you removed the fountain you had on in the background for early podcasts as it distracted a bit.
2) It would be interesting to discuss what metric you and your wife use in your negotiations for what constitutes a viable compromise. I think a lot of people either have different metrics and don't realize it, or don't have experience in finding the other person's metric so that a common frame can be utilized. Insecure people especially have difficulty because what 'feels right' is so often actually just controlling behavior.
3) I think a lot of people, especially women, have confusion that having boundaries and being nice are two different things. Possibly they just don't have experience in holding boundaries and only hold them appropriately when they are angry & thus conflate the two. Therefore they never realize that holding boundaries makes it possible for you to be nice, because you know you will only agree to things that are inconvenient, instead of agreeing to things that feel outside of your boundaries.
Just listened to the podcast. What I found really interesting is that a lot of your advice to create unconditional love in a romantic LTR/marriage parallels a lot of advice in adoption parenting books/material on becoming more bonded to or connected with your child. Letting go of the small stuff, focusing on the big stuff. Trying to be sensitive to their "hot buttons" and how they will react, then choosing words and behavior wisely. Being calm and trying to see their perspective when there is a disagreement. Say yes when you can. Understand and validate their feelings when you must say no anyway.
At the end of the podcast you mentioned that their are people who will maintain that there is no such thing as unconditional love in a relationship. A good exercise for them would be to apply these concepts to other (non-boyfriend girlfriend, marriage) relationships in their lives. I bet they will see an improvement. Awhile back, I started to do some of these things with my adult son: I stopped "advising" him to quit smoking every chance I got. I listened without interrupting. I listened to what he said without jumping back at him with a judgement. Not only does he come around me more (which I think means he's happier with our interactions) but I am happier with him in general. I have seen relationships with friends, other relatives, and coworkers improve as well.
I love your no nonsense style. Sometimes it hurts but I guess that is my clue you have hit a sore spot that needs attending to!
Would you consider a link to a transcript for your podcasts? I comprehend much better reading rather than listening to new information.
Fabulous advice as always Evan.
I've been reading your blogs religiously ever since 2013, I am but one of many people who endlessly soak up your advise and praise your common sense in my head while showing all my friends, but I have never gotten a chance to comment – why am I so lazy at that? Don't know. I wanted to send a comment your way to say you are absolutely killing it, nailing it on the head. I am a better girlfriend because of YOU and I have had quality partners ever since reading your blogs, now I'm with the one, the peaceful love that brings no fear into my life, just never ending/comfortable/ecstatic joy.
Keep doing the good you are doing, your hard work is loved by thousands of people and I hope you get your own show one day, I hope all your aspirations for your career come true. Believe in you buddy, thank god you are still writing so I can be a big fat blob in my bed reading your work and all the crazy comments baha.
