Millennials are the second-largest generation since the baby boomers. And for real estate agents, that's great news, as it means a whole host of additional people looking to get their feet firmly on the property ladder.
Millennials have received a huge amount of coverage in the press, but there's one question that real estate agents are likely hungry for the answer – what do they look for in a house? And how are their needs, wants and desires any different from the generations that have preceded them?
In this article, we're going to walk you through some of the key points that millennials are known to look for in properties, so you can build it into your strategy.
Whilst 20 years ago the focal point of a property may have been the sitting room, millennials now place a heavy focus on the kitchen. They're a generation who excel at food and home cooking, a fact proven by the growing popularity of organic and artisanal cooking shows.
As a result, it should come as no surprise that properties with the biggest and best kitchens will come top of their list, with a strong priority on open plan designs.
After kitchens, bathrooms come next on the list, with millennials keen to see water-saving fixtures that reduce their environmental footprint.
These features are a huge pull for millennials, as well as solar panels, which have scored incredibly well in related polls.
Next on the list is low maintenance living. In addition to smart features and a kitted-out kitchen, millennials don't want to invest a lot of their time on household upkeep. As a result, they're looking for interior finishes that are hard-wearing and don't require a lot of maintenance.
Tiled and hardwood floors are favoured over carpets, with handy built-in storage units seen as a huge plus.
Minimalism continues to be popular, and it's something that millennials continue to express an interest in, so if you're staging a property, go for the barebones look and cut down on clutter.
It might seem odd, but millennials have been found to prioritise living close to work, home and friends over other public services such as hospitals and entertainment areas.
If you're selling a property, there's every chance that millennials are making up a large segment of your target audience, so consider making internal renovations to give them what they're looking for.


Social tagging systems, such as del.icio.us, have helped users find and reuse information by sharing individuals' structural knowledge, i.e., the knowledge of relationships among documents and concepts. Besides being an Internet phenomenon, social tagging can help organizations manage their intranet document repositories. The structural knowledge embedded in tags is flat, shallow, and often ambiguous however. We develop a theoretical model to argue for potential benefits of sharing deeper structural knowledge in an electronic document repository through personal document hierarchies. Based on the theoretical model, we design a "social hierarchies" system. Deployment and exploratory study confirm the benefits of sharing personal hierarchies in a collaborative knowledge work environment and suggest future research directions.

A fictional story.
[Promote hope, will, purpose, competence, fidelity]
Jeannine Marie Lenehan
From the Author It is commonly understood that infancy through adolescence is an optimal time in our human development for not only preventing illness, but also for promoting our social and emotional health. When observed from a developmental perspective, parents often recognize that there are many agents and resources including family, school, community, and health care that can influence a child's social and emotional health, but when asked many parents and caregivers seem unsure of what their child's social and emotional stages are or the interrelation that exists between their child's psychological and social health. This series on The Resilient Child will explore the psychological and social development of children from infancy through adolescence. Through Abija and her family, we will discover why nurturing each virtue including hope, will, purpose, competence, and fidelity is a fundamental building block that has a place in the schedule of our children's social and emotional development.
Abija hides under the shade of the grape vines away from the mid-summer heat, gently harvesting the leaves so they won't tear. Picking grape leaves is a culturally rich tradition her grandmother shared with her mother and one that has been passed down to Abija. The leaves that hang from the vines have offered welcomed shade for her since she was a little girl. Now as a teenager, she has begun to appreciate the shade and food they provide her family.
When her grandparents first arrived in the U.S. they planted this grapevine in their backyard, a property that has been left to Abija's parents. What began as the tender, willowy grape vine, planted decades before, has grown into a tall canopy of curling branches and resilient stems that wind around trees for support and produce healthy leaves each summer.
In the kitchen Abija and her mother separate the leaves, reserving some to stuff with lamb and rice for dinner and others for blanching and freezing to preserve for the winter. Their time together is more than a lesson in cooking; it is a wonderful opportunity for parent and child to share stories of their day, memories of their past, and plans for their future.
Abija is just 15 years old and has begun to observe some of the decisions older students at her school have made. She tells her mother about a senior, Victoria, who is postponing college to volunteer for an organization in another country. The idea of travel sounds exciting to Abija and she privately considers it for herself, but she has never been far from home for any length of time and these thoughts provoke some anxious behavior in her as she repeatedly taps her foot. Her mother carefully observes Abija's body language and tone. She recognizes that Abija is in the midst of her adolescence and pondering her future roles in the adult world. To help ease some of her anxiety, Abija's mother continues to cook with her daughter and briefly talks about some of the rich experiences and opportunities Victoria may have. Her mother seamlessly transitions from their conversation and begins to sing their favorite song; one that they have shared since Abija was an infant. It's a happy song about a young girl who dances through the mint leaves, infusing the fresh scent of mint in the air with her feet. As they sing, she smiles and looks to her daughter, gently easing her daughter's anxious feelings. She knows Abija will have her own ideas for her future and that her plans may change several times during adolescence, until she begins to feel more secure with her sense of self.
Abija responds well to those wonderful verbal and non-verbal practices her mother demonstrates, like a supportive smile and words that inspire. Her mother understands the positive and negative impacts that verbal and non-verbal communication can have on a child's social and emotional health and is thoughtful with the language and tone she uses to communicate with Abija. This fosters Abija's faith in her current and future self. Also, by encouraging Abija to explore healthy environments outside their home she is nurturing her daughter's sense of competence while simultaneously cultivating a trusted relationship between parent and child. She recognizes that Abija's healthy sense of trust is a virtue that will promote her daughter's sense of hope, reliability, truth, and strength and her ability to recognize it in others.
Abija's mother is not a child development expert, but has nurtured her curiosity of the field through a series of recommended books, speaking with experts, and by comparing and contrasting those lessons against her own childhood experiences. She knows Abija, like her peers, will face periods of uncertainty about herself and the world around her.
In addition to trust, both of Abija's parents have fostered other virtues in their daughter including a healthy sense of will, purpose, competence, and fidelity. In sequence, they understand these healthy attitudes can promote Abija's healthy self-identity and social identity as she explores her surroundings and considers her current and future relationships.

Local brands excite me. Unlike ~in my youth, the newer brands are very competitive. It seemed back then, being Proudly Pinoy meant a ready excuse to be baduy or low quality. So I feel a little guilty when something good comes along and my initial reaction is to be surprised.
Jeunesse Anion sanitary pads are locally developed and produced. They are charged with anions, which are negatively charged ions. Reportedly, cations are found in manmade settings while anions are mostly found in nature. Both particles apparently contribute to our overall moods.
The makers of Jeunesse decided to charge their sanitary pads with anions to induce a holistically improved overall feeling for women who are suffering from period pains. I have not heard much about this technology aside from what they've told me but it sounds so interesting. Does anybody have experience / feedback / research on this? Do let me know!
These all look so presentable and interesting. They're not all in my niche but I'm quite proud of how far local goods have come! Which item piqued your interest?
I was invited to Jeunesse Anion's launch last July 28, 2015 at Make Me Blush Spa in E. Rodriguez. Guests were treated to a brunch buffet and given a wellness seminar with tips on how to handle menstrual** issues by Cheshire Que, RND, RN, RD.
We were also given a supply of Jeunesse pads and products by local partners shown above. I was not paid nor otherwise compensated to present this feature..


Recently, the National Institute of Health reported that an estimated 20% of people in the U.S. have used prescription drugs for non-medical purposes.
Teenagers can be exposed to drugs and alcohol at very early ages, and a great percentage of teens in North Dakota will experiment with drugs and binge drink at some point in their youth. While this has somewhat become a social norm, there are very significant threats that teenagers of today's drug culture are faced with. Prescription drug abuse for instance, opiate pain killers specifically, being the main culprit. There is an incredibly high risk of addiction associated with this type of drug abuse, and teenagers can very easily become fully dependent addicts within a very short time period. Drug rehab for teenagers is available in ND. from services and environments aimed at catering to and nurturing rehabilitation for the teenage addict. These types of drug rehab programs for teenagers approach rehabilitation at a level that this age group can easily grasp and understand. This helps make it possible for teenagers in ND. to restore their lives back on track so that they have a brighter future ahead of them.

Novell denies 'unstable' Xen claims
A clarification was made to this story. Read below for details.
By Steven Deare | August 11, 2006 -- 00:15 GMT (17:15 PDT) | Topic: Open Source
The chief technology officer (CTO) of Novell's Open Platform Solutions Group, Markus Rex, has hit back at criticism the company included an "unstable" Xen virtualisation environment in its new Linux server, pointing to support from hardware partners.
At Novell's Sydney office on Thursday, Rex responded to claims by Linux competitor Red Hat that Xen was not stable enough to be deployed in enterprise environments. Novell has claimed to be the first vendor to include Xen in its Linux distribution, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Xen, primarily developed by US-based start-up XenSource, allows users to run multiple operating systems as guest virtual machines on the same hardware.
"If you look at the Xen open source project, we have been the number two contributor during the past 10 months or so to that project. So we've kind of contributed most of the enterprise readiness for the Xen platform," Rex said.
Red Hat only had to look at Novell's launch of its new server for testimony that Xen was enterprise ready, according to Rex.
"We had all the major hardware partners that had virtualisation hardware like IBM, Intel and AMD. They all stood up and said 'Yes, this technology's ready, and we fully support deployments based on Xen and in combination with SUSE Linux Enterprise 10'."
"So I guess the other vendors would not do that if it weren't ready."
Novell had a track record of being the first to expand the Linux platform, while competitors had often claimed the additions weren't ready, he said.
"It's up to each vendor on when to include certain technologies," Rex said.
"We always have been very much on the forefront of technology, so I think it's just fitting that we have been the first ones to integrate Xen."
However, despite its self-proclaimed pace-setter status, Novell has not yet completed rolling out Linux desktops to all its employees. The vendor announced the plans over two years ago.
Rex said the rollout was "still an ongoing process", but that the company was on track with its two year old goals.
"The whole company has been using OpenOffice now for about a year, roughly.
"[This] was the far more painful transition than [changing] the actual underlying operating system because it's the day to day application that you use and it touches all your file formats and everything."
Novell had "80 something percent" of its people with Linux on their desktops, Rex said.
The rollout in Novell China was complete; "most of" Novell Germany was done, and "virtually all" of Novell's technical teams around the world ran Linux on the desktop, he said.
Some Novell staff would still use Windows in addition to Linux on the desktop for certain functions, such as software development, said Rex.
Novell executives also downplayed the recent replacement of the company's chief executive and chief financial officers.
"There have been a couple of different phases inside Novell," said Rex.
"And each of the different phases had its unique needs."
Novell turned to Linux-based software when it completed the acquisition of SUSE Linux in 2004.
"Now we've reached the next phase. And each of the phases have different people doing the key decisions," said Rex.
"I've been involved with all three phases and I've worked with all three groups of people.
"It was not necessarily so much different ... it's like a constant evolving.
"Whether it's better off or worse off [without former CEO Jack Messman], this is something I cannot really say."
Messman was replaced by Ron Hovsepian, formerly Novell's chief operating officer.
Clarification: The story has been updated to clarify that Markus Rex is the CTO of Novell's Open Platform Solutions Group rather than CTO of the company as originally stated.

Q: Base64 iOS vs Android different results I'm doing a base64 encoding from a byte array but the result in Android and iOS is different.
My original array in iOS is: [0, 0, 0, 1, 104, 206, 6, 242] or equivalent in Android: [0, 0, 0, 1, 104, -50, 6, -14]
Method used for base64 in Android (working as expected):
Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.DEFAULT);

Method used in iOS (not working):
Data(bytes).base64EncodedString()

Android result as String:
aM4NiA==

iOS result as String:
AAAAAWjOBvI=

I want to get the same result in iOS than Android. Actually I have a code in Android working and I'm porting it to iOS so I want fix it in iOS if possible.

Bailed out on this bounce for now as I don't like the look of the market. BTC had a 30-40% bounce, many altcoins much more.
SO prices have been stalled around the $3,600 price for a while and maybe resistance is finally starting to collapse?
Either way it feels like theirs going to be a big movement, less than a 20% reduction would be sub 3, Im pretty confident its going their.
Its VERY unclear whats going to happen after that, Bitcoin could go to the duldroms and go sub 2, my impression is that it would be similar to the 2015 Bottom where it went sub $200 for a moment and that started the next bullrun.
The Dow Jones for a moment went bear market(?) but on the up again, the bitcoin crash from the sixes came before that crash so cant draw any parallels their, I thinks its certain that if the S&P 500(/or world stock markets) resume another bullrun than Crypto is ready for another bullrun.
If volatility remains high than crypto will surely go lower, IMO crypto is bullish as long as stock markets are bullish, theirs no way to tell if Crypto is a safe haven asset or a product of the bubble of everything from reserve/federal/world bank stimulus.
Think you pretty much summed up the crypto markets at the moment...general sentiment is definitely bear. BTC daily chart does indeed look like crap if it closes here (ETH even worse), really need a green candle today. For these large breakout moves best not to bet big until direction is obvious, could still be ranging - and this would be a glorious fakeout down, seems to be hardly anyone holding out hope.
I can't see massive gains currently (like 100%+) in BTC this year from where ever it's lows are - marketcap is too big for a quick turnaround, but altcoins perhaps? - it's only around 6 months to the LTC block halving.
As a side note - The central banks are to the stock markets like Bitmain is to Bitcoin Cash. Bought in big but can't liquidate anything. Wonder if they'll end the same?
I bought some bitcoin through Coinjar and transferred to my preffered exchange.
WTF is up with this sh!t showing up on the blockchain instantly but still taking an hour to do 3 confirmations? THis is getting ridiculous 2014 was 5 years ago.
Just wondering whats the general feeling on XRP? Diversive Crypto still?
I like listening to "The modern investor" on youtube just as a kind of Crypto news channel, the guy is a lunatic and huge on XRP but I never liked it and never will.
If coinmarketcap is any indication, the trading volumes are low considering its market cap and if the circulating supply is to be believed, only 40% of coins created are actually out in the wild, so 2 huge red flags, Bitcoin/Ethereuem & Litecoin are like 80%+ mined so that indicates a level of confidence in that regard, high trading volumes and mostly mined.
Stellar/XLM appears to have a ? in regards to circulating supply, Tron looks dodgy buts has heaps of fanbois, who knows.
XRP/XLM you seem at the mercy of the whim of the people who control the majority of the supply - pro's and con's. Something big seems to be brewing with TRX (and TRX's self bought Bittorrent ICO on Binance) - quite a good setup for moon, but haven't looked into it too much.
LTC - Mainly because of the block halving.
XTZ - Baking this coin - can earn interest on any amount by delegating funds to someone else without risk of loss - could be popular.
EOS - Can't really justify this one - pretty much a shitcoin but with big money behind it.
Binance have just announced credit card deposits, should be good for altcoin FOMO at some stage.
I get that feeling again.
Yeah big move for BTC coming in soon surely, either going to be under 3k soon or over 4k.
Meanwhile picked up some more ZEC because of this bug information release. https://www.coindesk.com/zcash-team-reveals-it-fixed-a-catastrophic-coin-counterfeiting-bug Sure it was a very dangerous bug. But to me the timing of the news release now, months after a year long bearmarket feels like a classic shakeout play. If fake coins were created surely they would have been dumped by now.
Pretty good gains on alts lately, planning to hold for much more. I think there is a lot of money on the sidelines waiting for charts to say 'bull run'. A lot more money than people realise.
The US stock markets are on a 9 week winning streak and Bitcoin comfortably above $4,000, If the Dow Jones is headed for 30,000 points in the next couple of years some of those lofty Bitcoin predictions could come to fruition in another bubble.
I think theirs correlation between the 2 markets at the moment.
Seems tough to bet against the central banks when they have the attitude of printing more money if the stock market drops. Will fail at some point and everyone will say in hindsight how stupid it was, but in the meantime bliss for all.
I find it amazing how dead crypto is here and even the really active whirlpool thread, a lot of big coins have doubled in the past few months (LTC/ETH/EOS....) but no-one cares right when they should. Market sentiment is a funny thing, and imho BTC is probably as close to a real market as exists these days. And human nature being what it is, most people are too greedy to sell the top and also too greedy to buy the bottom.
I'm not saying $3k can't break - but it is going to take something major for that to happen now. I'll be buying up big if we make it there again.
I've been dollar cost averaging and will double the money in 2-3 months for the next couple of years, Im reluctant to go in big unless it tests new lows.
Im like you douver sad how dead it is in here, this might be the time where accumulating will get huge returns in the future who knows.
I made the comment before but its like people are only interested buying at record highs, most coins are still down 90%+ wheres the enthusiasm ?
If you bought at record highs expecting a 10X increase is a 100X from today.
I think it's dead becuase people are doing either exactly that (dollar cost averaging) or staying our completely, both are hardly posting worthy.
Do you really want to hear about me buying another 1000 power/eth/btc etc etc?
That's pretty much it, seems people believe it's safer to buy after something has gone up 10x 'knowing' it will go up - as everyone just 'trades the trend'. In reality the risk is much higher buying there than here though.
Well January last year there was people feeling the need to come here everyday and say how good X coin was regardless of whether they traded it or not. Reality is overall altcoin marketcap up 30% this month so far, Jan'18 down 15%.
The bulls walk up the stairs – bears jump out the window.
Papillion I remember him, he did admit that he was in for the money and didn't really care for it or crypto to be fair, I share a similar sentiment.
All I want from crypto is another moonshot so I can sell out and buy precious metal miners, sit back, relax and crypto can go to hell for all I care lol .
I give it 2 years and I'm moving on regardless of what happens, that is to say whatever I buy won't be sold unless it bubbles, might be lucky enough for crypto to strike like lightning a 3rd time (2013, 2017, 20XX?).
Yeah pretty sure almost everyone is in crypto to make money. Pretty much the same as any investment though. 'In it for the technology' was a joke people used last bear market cause everyone was losing money. Me - I reckon there's a chance BTC becomes a world currency, however minute - so currently plan to continue to hold some even if it's a pretty small percentage of my wealth.
Also despite the weekend fakeout above $4k and crash, pretty much everything is up for the week and LTC/EOS are still double their lows from December. BTC and ETH (and to a lesser extent EOS and a few others) will continue to be a rocky ride as there is a lot of stupid amount of margin trading on them now.

Q: Problems on making a countdown button for WP8, using C# and Silverlight I am developing for Windows Phone 8 apps(silverlight), and I'm trying to make a button on a page for registration that it countdowns on its content after clicking, which is used to getting SMS Verification code and to prevent malicious requests.
I would like it to be like this:
Original button:
[Send Me Verification Code]
After Clicked:
[29s remaining...] <---it countdowns on its content.
After Countdown completed:
[Send me again]
And also, I would like it to be asynchronous,for I have to make HTTPrequests after that.
This is the code I write but it gives me a CS0120 Error, and after creating an instance of the class it compiles, but doesn't work and throw Exceptions.
 public partial class Register : PhoneApplicationPage
{
    private Thread newThread;
    public Register()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        //Register iregister = new Register();
        //newThread = new Thread(iregister.SetText);
        //I've tried these but no luck..

        newThread = new Thread(Register.SetText);
    }

    public static void SetText()
    {
        int i = 30;
       // Register iregister = new Register();
        while (i > 0)
        {

           btn_sendVeri.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(delegate() { btn_sendVeri.Content=   i + "seconds remaining"; }); //**CS0120**
            i--;
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }

    }

    public void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        //btn_sendVeri.IsHitTestVisible = false;
        newThread.Start();

          //Put httprequests here
    }

the btn_sendVeri is a button defined in the XAML.
<Button x:Name="btn_sendVeri" Content="Send Verification Code" Width="245" Height="85" Click="Button_Click" Background="#33cc66"/>

How can I fix my code?
Thanks for Helping .:)

Expert Panel to Develop Health Care Plan for Scarborough and West Durham Region
Events, News & Media > Public Health News > Expert Panel to Develop Health Care Plan for Scarborough and West Durham Region
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care - An expert panel has been created to address infrastructure needs as well as improve access and integration of acute health care services in the Scarborough and West Durham region.
At the direction of the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, a panel has been struck to develop a plan to address how hospitals in the region can work together to deliver acute health care programs and services in a way that meets the needs of local residents. It will provide recommendations on program and service integration, as well as infrastructure needs.
The group will work in collaboration with the Central East LHIN, other neighbouring LHINs and local health care service providers, including Rouge Valley Health System, The Scarborough Hospital and Lakeridge Health.
The selected panel, to be chaired by Dr. Barry McLellan, has expertise in governance, health system transformation, capacity planning and program integration.
Delivering better coordinated and integrated care in the community is part of the government's plan to build a better Ontario through its 'Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care,' providing patients with faster access to the right care, better home and community care, the information they need to live healthy and a health care system that's sustainable for generations to come.

In 100 Words: Looking Ahead to 2022 (Part 1)
2021 is ending in a few weeks… Just like the previous one, this too, was not an easy year and the adversities are not over yet.
As we come to the end of another year, I asked some of the prominent names of the global direct selling community what they see coming in 2022.
"What will be the most important issue, whether it be an opportunity or a threat, in the direct selling industry that will need a closer focus Next Year?" was the question.
You will read their responses in a two-part article. This week's part comprises eight insightful opinions. Feel free to add your comments at the end of the pieces.
Laure Alexandre, Executive Director of Seldia (The European Direct Selling Association)
"In the EU, the Green and Digital 'Twin' transition is the key policy focus direct selling companies will have to adapt to. The Digital Services/Markets Acts will regulate illegal content online, be it speech, products or practices. The Directive on platform workers might define the future rights for self-employed. The revised Vertical Block Exemption Regulation and guidelines will set out requirements for online marketplace bans and agency agreements. And under the 'Circular Economy Action Plan', the Sustainable Products Initiative promises to establish a Digital Product Passport gathering environmental and material data of a product along its entire value chain and life cycle."
Mona Ameli, Founder and Managing Partner of Ameli Global Partnerships
"While 2021 was a year of adjustment, 2022 will be a year of evolution for our industry. Given all the regulatory, operations, social justice, and PR challenges experienced by virtually all direct selling companies this year, for 2022 the ability to successfully evolve our business model will be the real key to success and sustainability. This would be a 3-prong evolution to: Having a true omnichannel customer & product-centric business and comp plan, creating an authentically transparent brand that reflects trust, and fostering a real inclusive culture and community for employees, field, and customers equally. Our agility to evolve will be essential."
Oscar Cano Arias, Managing Director of Direct Selling Europe
"2022 will be an intense year for the sector in the EU from a regulatory perspective. First of all, the EU Commission will publish soon a new law changing the status of self-employed persons. Certainly, this will impact on companies like Uber, Deliveroo etc. DSE is already working to ensure that the interests of our sellers are taken properly into account. Furthermore, DSE will continue working to amend the proposal on a a new EU Consumer Credit Directive, so unsolicited credits for direct sales continue being possible. Last but not least, some EU countries will have new provisions on unsolicited sales as of June 2022; we will monitor the different markets so that the new provisions are in line with EU law."
Adriana Colloca, President of Brazil Direct Selling Association
"I believe the next year is going to be super for direct selling as economic activity is gradually recovering and direct selling is an excelent entreprenership opportunity. To keep its competitiveness and relevance, digitalization is still key for the industry. Investments and focus should be driven to turn the operation as digital as possible and conquer new customers."
Brett Duncan, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Strategic Choice Partners
"The regulatory threats are legitimate, and will force major transitions, especially for traditional MLM models, one way or another. I am surprised at how slowly most companies are responding to these shifts. The opportunities exist for companies that embrace the transition proactively, and quickly. Blue ocean awaits!"
Sean Eggert, CEO of Hanna Shea Executive Search
"US employees are quitting their jobs at record rates in search of jobs that offer greater work flexibility, including not having to work from an office. Our industry is perfectly positioned to take advantage of this change and offer these employees the freedom they are looking for. We have a major opportunity in front of us if we can tap into this market and show these newcomers positive results in an ethical and sustainable manner. Now more than ever, it is vital that we improve the onboarding and consultant experience to ensure as much success as possible for anyone that makes the decision to join a direct selling organization."
Tamuna Gabilaia, Executive Director and COO of the WFDSA (World Federation of Direct Selling Associations)
"As 2021 comes to an end and we look forward to a new year, we see that overall the global industry growth during pandemic underscores the strength and adaptability of the industry. Global retails sales amounted to 179.3 billion USD showing a year-over-year increase of 5.8% and the number of independent representatives amounted to 125.4 million which represents 4.3% increase. Despite the universal factors that impacted most industries, including prolonged community lockdowns, job displacements, global supply chain disruptions, we saw many direct selling companies and their independent representatives adapt and find new ways to stay connected with their customers and grow their businesses and we are positive this trend will continue in the future."
Jonathan Gilliam, Founder and President of Momentum Factor
"Undeniably, our most significant threat at the moment is the regulatory attack underway in the US. The Federal Trade Commission has made it known through rulemaking, lawsuits, and new enforcement tactics that it has little tolerance for what it perceives as misrepresentations by direct sellers and the field. Its most recent initiatives, the Penalty Offense Authority and the Business Opportunity Rule, are particularly onerous, and any direct selling executive should get familiar with these new rules and learn how to adapt their company policy, compliance and training methods to them."

It's no secret that windows are one of the most important factors of what determines a building's energy efficiency. On average, about 30% of energy waste can be contributed to windows that are poor performing and lack insulation. If energy costs are unusually high for a building, then it's likely got something to do with the windows.
There are generally two options for remedying this issue. The windows can either be replaced with low-e glass or retrofitted with window film. But which is the better option? To shed some light on this matter, we asked our Denver window tinting technicians about the pros and cons of low e windows vs window replacement.
Which Is Better: Window Tinting or Low-E Windows?
Window tinting and low-e windows are both effective ways of remedying issues with energy efficiency. However, determining which options is best for you requires multiple factors to be taken into consideration. Aesthetics, return on investment, and the quality of materials all have to be considered.
In the past, the most common solution was to install windows with tinted glass. Architects found these windows effective at reducing heat, but the problem was these windows relied on cheap dyes to reflect heat and therefore they also reduced visible light transmission too. Later, low-e technology was invented which allowed glass to control heat transfer rather than reflect it.
Many people still believe low-e windows are the better solution. But even this option can be problematic because the cost of investment is so high that homeowners almost never receive a full payback within the time period of living in their home. That's why more and more people are turning to low-e window film as an alternative.
Low-e window tinting uses the same technology as energy efficient windows, but it doesn't require that the entire window unit be replaced. The glass can simply be enhanced and modified by applying the film on top. Once in place, the film works to keep heat in place so that too much of it doesn't transfer through the glass at one time. The result is a more stable temperature indoors.
Is the money you spend on energy costs going right out the window? Start saving on energy costs in Denver with window tinting for your home or office. Call us today to get started.

Q: How do I write a regular expression that will match if the 6th character of a string is one of two different letters? I'm trying to write a validator for an ASP.NET txtbox.
How can I validate so the regular expression will only match if the 6th character is a "C" or a "P"?

A: Depending on exactly what you want, you are looking for something like:
^.{5}[CP]

The ^ says to start from the beginning of the string, the . defines any character, the {5} says that the . must match 5 times, then the [CP] says the next character must be part of the character class CP - i.e. either a C or a P.

A: ^.{5}[CP] -- the trick is the {}, they match a certain number of characters.

A: ^.{5}[CP] will match strings starting with any five characters and then a C or P.

A: ^.{5}[CP] has a few important pieces:

*

*^ = from the beginning

*. = match anything

*{5} = make the previous match the number of times in braces

*[CP] = match any one of the specific items in brackets

so the regex spoken would be something like "from the beginning of the string, match anything five times, then match a 'C' or 'P'"

A: [a-zA-Z0-9]{5}[CP] will match any five characters or digits and then a C or P.

New Relief for Pilots? It Depends...
Sorry, but we couldn't resist stealing that headline from Noah Shachtman at the Danger Room, who has more information on the latest in-flight relief gear for military aviators, including a photo of the undergarment.
We first wrote about the improved piddle pack more than a week ago, citing its availability as one of the great moments in aviation history. While our tongue was firmly-in-cheek when we made that claim, the issue of in-flight relief is a serious matter. As Mr. Shachtman notes, pilot attempts to relieve themselves (using current "piddle" technology) have been linked to at least two F-16 crashes. The pilots involved in those accidents were male; for female aviators, the process of emptying your bladder in a fighter cockpit is even more cumbersome.
On a historical note, we should note that piddle packs have been around, in one form or another, for decades. In fact, an earlier version of the device helped save a B-17 (and its crew) during World War II. The man who used the piddle pack as a fire-fighting tool won the Medal of Honor for his exploits, although the impromptu extinguisher isn't mentioned in his citation.
Today's quiz: name the bomber crew member whose timely use of a piddle pack helped save his aircraft and made him a hero. Hint: he's the same guy who was on KP when Secretary of War Stimson showed up at his base, to award him the MOH. That prompted a bit of stalling, until the recipient could be located and change into his dress uniform.

don't astronauts have integrated waste-management systems in their flight suits? I was reading something else about this that said this new system works out to something like 35 bucks flight. that's like 500 dollar toilet seat level of absurdity. doesn't cost anyone else 35 for number one. the demands of long duration flights is nothing new, why does seem like such a hard problem now?

A bent singlemode-multimode-singlemode (SMS) fiber structure based vibration sensor is proposed and developed. This sensor configuration is very simple and employs a bent SMS fiber structure and a narrow band optical source such as a laser. The vibration applied to the bent SMS fiber structure will change the bend radius and hence the intensity of the transmitted optical power will also vary. Experimental results show that the sensor can detect vibration frequencies over a broad range with good sensitivity, from hertz to a few kHz.

A: @Ahmed Tawila - as he mentioned I did the same mistake. I forgot to add @PathVariable annotation before the primitive type for the method in controller.
Incorrect Code: Required annotation is not defined before long primitive type
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.DELETE, value = "/categories/{categoryId}/subcategories/{id}")
public void deleteSubCategory(long id) throws Exception {
    subCategoryService.delete(id);
}

Correct Code: Annotation added(@PathVariable)
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.DELETE, value = "/categories/{categoryId}/subcategories/{id}")
public void deleteSubCategory(@PathVariable long id) throws Exception {
    subCategoryService.delete(id);
}

A: I got this error when I was working with Jackson REST web services (RESTful Spring Controllers). The problem was that I forgot the @PathVariable annotation which tells the web service where it should receive your input to produce the response so it did not know where I should be passing my input. My fix was:
@RequestMapping(value = "/supplier/{supplierId}")
public List<PurchaseInvoice> getPurchaseInvoicesBySupplierId(@PathVariable int supplierId) {
    return purchaseInvoiceService.getPurchaseInvoicesBySupplierId(supplierId);
}

A: The error is pretty much self explanatory: you can't declare a primitive to be null, for example: private int myNumber = null; will not compile. So instead of using long use Long and you should be good to go.

A: This is sometime caused by using PathParam instead of PathVariable. this could be just another solution. We can take a look at it as well. I faced similar situation while implementing Spring data jpa with JpaRepository interface.

A: Exception message guides you. Change long type to Long

A: Annotate with:
    @RequestParam(defaultValue = "0").

A: In my case, I was missing @RequestBody Annotation in the request body in Controller!
public View updateView(@RequestBody int id){
}

Hope it helps someone!

A: Some basic concept for beginner from What is the difference between long and Long in android code?

Long is a class. long is a primitive. That means Long can be null, where long can't. Long can go anywhere that takes an Object, long can't (since it isn't a class it doesn't derive from Object).
Java will usually translate a Long into a long automatically (and vice versa), but won't for nulls (since a long can't be a null), and you need to use the Long version when you need to pass a class (such as in a generic declaration).

A: In my case:
@RequestParam(name = "status", required = false) Integer status

required Param is false so the status need to available to set null in it


The Smoking Joint, yes, pun intended (whatever the pun may be). With smokehouses around the metro, The Smoking Joint doesn't really have to try in setting itself apart from the rest. With rustic-industrial interiors, even a vintage-elegant feel, if you may; this meat place has their own smoker within the site, just at the back of the restaurant.
Serving smoked low and slow meats that actually taste good as much as it looks appetizing is something The Smoking Joint should be really proud of! A cursory glance at the menu also reveals they don't only offer smoked meat, but a well curated selection of wine and craft beer, not only local, but imported, as well.
Almost turning two, Tony Fernando, in collaboration with Chef Dino Dizon, use imported beef and ribs, but of course customizing their meals in accordance to the Filipino palate, hence their bestsellers being ribs and brisket, and their Corned Beef Sisig being able to make it once to the Top 15 Dishes of Philippine Inquirer – a humbling achievement surely worth mentioning.
For teasers, we had Gumbo Soup and Chili Soup, both with Flat Pan de Sal. First, we are going to talk about the Gumbo Soup with Flat Pan de Sal. Gumbo is actually a popular classic Louisiana dish that tends to be heavily seasoned but is not typically the burn-your-mouth-tears-in-your-eyes spicy. No worries, because as we have mentioned, The Smoking Joint made sure that their food is fit for the Filipino palate and so this Gumbo Soup of theirs will just give the right kick of spice you probably need in your life. Plus, with the Flat Pan De Sal, it's a starter you're going to enjoy.
While The Smoking Joint's Chili Soup is not only spicy, but an exciting and bold dish altogether. Like the typical Filipino who enjoys dipping their Pan de Sal in hot coffee, try dipping The Smoking Joint's Flat Pan de Sal in their Chili Soup – a combination you'll thank the universe for.
Speaking of Chili, next would be The Smoking Joint's Chili Dog. With soft buns, tender hotdog, topped with flavorful chili, among other stuff, this dish is already a winner, but is just an avenue for more smoked and meaty fun!
Another sandwich we have for you is their Dip & Roll with Fries Sandwich. It's a bit heavier dish than the Chili Dog, especially with the yummy, crispy fries that anyone would probably enjoy. You can also have this sandwich with your choice of either cheese or gravy.
Now, let's move on to The Smoking Joint's tacos – which we got to try all five variants! From Pulled Pork Taco, to Burnt Ends Taco, to Sisig Taco, to Duck Taco, to Salmon Taco – each one is a must try as all tortillas are homemade.
The Pulled Pork Tacos were scrumptious and great. Made from fresh meat that is smoked to perfection, it is a tender adventure that we were so glad to munch on.
If you haven't tried The Smoking Joint's Burnt Ends Taco, then you really have to try it now! This one barely made it long enough for us to take pictures and be able to show it to you.
For a classic Filipino dish, get yourself some Sisig Tacos. You'll absolutely make a mistake if you're going to walk away from indulging in a salty-sweet-savory treat for your palate, like this one.
Want to try something more different? Order The Smoking Joint's Duck Tacos. Every bite of this delectable hand-held delicacy is worth every penny for that soft, lip-smacking goodness!
For our last taco dish, The Smoking Joint certainly is leveling up their taco game with their own Salmon Taco. Loaded with flavor and packed with spice, this taco variant might just be your new favorite taco for taco Tuesdays or Thursdays or even for any day, just sayin'.
Enough with all that blah, right? Let's go shoot for the real stars of The Smoking Joint – their smoked meats! We got to try some of their not-so-new-anymore smoked meats selection – bacon strips and smoked liempo.
The saying "Bring home the bacon." doesn't apply to Smoking Joint's smoked Bacon Strips because if you are like us who think eating bacon is a special occasion and you should celebrate it by eating bacon, then there will be no more bacon to bring home, especially if it is Smoking Joint's Bacon Strips, if you know what we mean.
If you can't stop yourself from having more meat, then that's fine, because The Smoking Joint has more for you; one of which is the Smoked Liempo. Liempo itself is already heaven like, and so imagine tender, luscious smoked liempo right at your fingertips… Why don't you close your mouth a bit; you're about to drool.
And if that didn't even satisfy your cravings, then here's The Smoking Joint's All Meat Platter for the hungry, meat fanatic you! Take pleasure in having as much brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, sausage, and bacon as you want, no one is going to judge you – well, no one has the right to judge you, for that matter. Although, if you think you can't rise against this meat feast, then no worries, this is good for 4-5 people.
As there are a lot of dishes to fill not only our tummies, but yours as well, here in The Smoking Joint, it's no surprise there are also a lot of beverages one can choose from, as we have mentioned prior. One of which we got to down is some Engkanto Craft Beer, and as engkanto is a word that is of relation to enchantment, charm, or spell, this craft beer will really charm you into drinking more of it as time passes by. You can get yourself an Engkanto Craft Beer, either a Lager or a Double IPA, here at The Smoking Joint.
If you are lucky, while you're devouring loads of meat and downing those meat with any beverage of your choice, sometimes they have live entertainment which makes the place even more attractive than it already is. They support artists such as Electric Tuesdays, a great local band here in the Philippines.
The Smoking Joint is still cooking up a lot of things for you so be sure to check where the smoke is, because as what people say, "Where there is smoke, there is fire.", and The Smoking Joint is definitely on fire with all the mouthwatering dishes they have and they will even be having soon.
Next Next post: Mang Inasal Pork Sisig definitely a must-try!

Transforming Your Model

Transformations techniques should be familiar for Computer Science students with previous experience in computer graphics or computer vision.  OpenSCAD uses transformation principles to move, scale, and rotate objects to their desired location.  Transformations can be used concurrently with some of the other OpenSCAD functions discussed previously.

Translate

Translate is OpenSCAD's move function.  It moves objects held within the function with respect to the Cartesian plane.

translate.scad

text("Default Location");

/*
 * The translate function moves the object in the x, y, and z coordinates.
 * Parameters:
 *      - translate takes a vector as an argument which decides how the object will be translated
 */
translate([0, 10, 0])
    text("Translated Location");

The result shows some text that has been translated to prevent the two text objects from overlapping one another.

Scale And Resize

For changing an object size, OpenSCAD offers two flavours which can be used.  Scale uses ratios to determine the size of the scaled object.  Resize on the other hand, uses a more direct numerical value to increase or decrease the size of the object.

resize_and_scale.scad

/*
 * Both the scale and resize functions alter the size of the object in up to three dimensions.
 * Scale Parameters:
 *      - scale has a vector as input which represents a multiplicative approach to scaling the object
 *
 * Resize Parameters:
 *      - resize has a vector as input which represents an exact numerical size for the object to be converted to
 */

original_cube = [5, 5, 5]; // Our reference cube dimensions.

cube(original_cube); // Our reference cube.

// '{' defines the scope of translate.
translate([10, 0, 0]) {
    scale([2, 2, 2]) // Doubles the cube's size in all direction.
        cube(original_cube);
}

translate([25, 0, 0]) {
    resize([10, 10, 10]) // Exact dimensions to resize our cube.
        cube(original_cube);
}

The previous code outputs the following cubes with differing methods for sizing that return the same result.  The output should look like the following:

Rotate

Unsurprisingly, rotate revolves the object around an axis as specified by the programmer.

rotate.scad

/*
 * The rotate function revolves the object around the specified axis.
 * Parameters:
 *      - rotate expects a vector for which the object will be rotated about
 *      - vector numbers represent degrees
 */
rotate([0, 45, 0]) // Rotate 45 degrees about the positive y axis wrt. the right hand rule.
    cube([5, 5, 5], center = true);

With the rotation complete, our cube is now a diamond.

Mirror

Mirroring an object can be very useful when trying to make your models symmetrical.

mirror.scad

original_box = [1, 5, 10]; // Original object dimensions.
rotation_angle = [0, 45, 0]; // Original object rotation.

// Original object.
rotate(rotation_angle)
    cube(original_box);

/*
 * The mirror functions creates a reflection of the object across the given x, y, z plane.
 * Parameters:
 *      - mirror takes a vector as a parameter that is orthogonal to the plane for which the object is mirrored
 */
mirror([1, 0, 0]) {
    rotate(rotation_angle)
        cube(original_box);
}

The mirrored object creates a V as follows:

Offset

Offset can be used to adjust the outside vertices of your model.

offset.scad

/*
 * The offset function offsets each surrounding vertices of your model.
 * Parameters:
 *      r - numerical value to decide offset distance and round corners
 *      delta - numerical value to decide offset distance and sharp corners
 *      chamfer - boolean to decide if the edges will be chamfered or not
 */

original_polygon = [[0, 0], [10, 0], [10, 10], [5, 5], [0, 10]]; // Vertices for our polygon.

polygon(original_polygon); // Draws the original polygon.

translate([15, 0, 0]) {
    offset(r = 1, $fn = 100) // Round corners, $fn sets our rounding resolution.
        polygon(original_polygon);
}

translate([30, 0, 0]) {
    offset(delta = -1) // Sharp corners offset 1 unit smaller than original_polygon.
        polygon(original_polygon);
}

translate([45, 0, 0]) {
    offset(delta = 1, chamfer = true) // Sharp corners with a chamfer.
        polygon(original_polygon);
}

Four shapes are produced by this code.  All the shapes use the same polygon buy have been offset if either rounded, sharp, or chamfered corners.  The result of this code should look something like this:

Minkowski

This function is slightly difficult to get your head around but extremely useful once you do.  Both the Minkowski function and hull (discussed next) are similar functions that can combine object in very useful ways.  A note about this function, sizes can be changed depending on the shapes combines.  Always make sure the object you are trying to create keeps its proper dimensions.

minkowski.scad

original_cube = [10, 10, 10]; // Cube dimensions.

// Cylinder dimensions.
original_cylinder_radius = 2;
original_cylinder_height = 1;

cube(original_cube);
    rotate([90, 0, 0])
        cylinder(original_cylinder_radius, original_cylinder_height, $fn = 100);

/*
 * The Minkowski function merges object together to form a single shape.
 */
translate([15, 0, 0]) {
    minkowski() {
        cube(original_cube);
        rotate([90, 0, 0])
            cylinder(original_cylinder_radius, original_cylinder_height, $fn = 100);
    }
}

Below is the result of the previous code.  Take note of how Minkowski alters the size of the objects being combines.

Hull

Like Minkowski, the hull function combines shapes or objects into a single unit.  Instead of wrapping one object around another, hull connects the difference between the two.  You will notice when you run this code that the object takes a much longer time to render than the previous examples.  The resolution setting combined with the complexity of the hull function can cause OpenSCAD to run slower depending on your computer's capabilities.

hull.scad

$fn = 75; // Resolution of our spheres.

radius = 5;

translate([15, 0, 0])
    sphere(radius);
sphere(radius);

/*
 * The hull function merges two object together.
 */
hull() {
    translate([0, 15, 0]) {
        translate([15, 0, 0])
            sphere(radius);
        sphere(radius);
    }
}

Connecting the spheres to make a pill like object.

Review Of The Worlds Most Trusted Brand Of CBD-Cbd Oil By Mike Wolfe
Cbd Oil By Mike Wolfe
There's no doubt that CBD is the hottest wellness product nowadays. It appears that CBD is everywhere from coffee shops to corner stores. Everyone from children with stress and anxiety to the elderly with arthritis are getting their hands on CBD items
Even though CBD is being covered by the media, and has actually permeated every corner of the health and wellness world, many people still find CBD a little complex— specifically when it involves figuring out the right way to use it and just how to make certain the stuff you're buying is, you know, in fact legit. Listed below, we asked specialists to address the most important concerns regarding CBD.
Charlotte's Web is one of the best-known cannabidiol (CBD) brands. The company is based in the USA and offers various high-quality CBD products made from U.S.-grown hemp.Cbd Oil By Mike Wolfe
In 2011, the Stanley bros, a group of 7 Colorado-based brothers, created a high CBD hemp with low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the psychoactive component in cannabis that provides the "high" feeling.
The name of this hemp strain, CW1AS1, was inspired by a 5-year-old girl named Charlotte Figi, that had been dealing with a rare form of epilepsy since she was 3 months old.
In 2012, Charlotte's mom got in touch with the brothers, seeking a nonintoxicating all-natural treatment for her little girl. Charlotte's parents considered CBD when the hospital could no longer assist their little girl.
The hemp strain dramatically decreased the occurrence of seizures in Charlotte, who used to have 300 tonic-clonic seizures every week. One year after starting routine CBD therapy, Charlotte experienced a seizure 2– 3 times each month.
The Stanley brothers received widespread media coverage following the effect of CBD on Charlotte. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, famously altered his position on medical cannabis after meeting her and various other families with comparable experiences of the benefits of CBD.
Charlotte's Web is clear regarding its processing standards, manufacturing, and finances. The company supplies batch-specific certifications of analysis (COAs), which supply info on exact concentrations of CBD, THC, and other substances present in its products. COAs additionally consist of results of safety tests for pesticides, heavy metals, and solvents.
Individuals can find out more about the company's production procedure, from planting and harvesting to extraction and quality control, on its website.
The company likewise offers financial details, such as quarterly earnings, tax information, and stock analysis.
Charlotte's Web uses an FDA-registered manufacturing facility. The company follows the American Herbal Products Association's contaminant guidelines and California's Proposition 65 policies. Proposition 65 protects drinking water sources from contamination with hazardous chemicals.
Charlotte's Web recently acquired the National Sanitation Foundation International's dietary supplements Good Manufacturing Practice certificate.
Charlotte's Web creates a range of CBD oils that could help:
This CBD oil comes in three different strengths: 7 milligrams (mg), 17 mg, and 60 mg. Charlotte's Web also offers 2 bottle sizes, 30 milliliters (ml) and 100 ml.
The company suggests the 17 mg option for people that are brand-new to CBD. This oil delivers a minimum of 17 mg of CBD per 1-ml serving or a complete dropper.
Individuals trying CBD for the first time may want to begin with half a dropper and slowly increase the dose. The 7 mg CBD oil is another suitable option for people that favor a lower strength.
The 60 mg CBD oil offers the highest concentration of CBD per serving. Charlotte's Web advises this product for individuals who are already accustomed to the substance.
Charlotte's Web CBD Oils come in four flavors:
olive oil– all-natural
Charlotte's Web still produces its first CBD oil, providing at least 50 mg of CBD per serving.
Most CBD manufacturers, including Charlotte's Web, extract their CBD oils using the carbon dioxide (CO2) extraction technique. Nonetheless, the original formula CBD oil is isopropyl alcohol extracted.
Charlotte's Web produces its initial formula CBD oil in small batches because of the labor-intensive extraction process. The company eliminates all alcohol from the final formula, which then goes through quality assurance testing.
Charlotte's Web offers a range of CBD gummies. Below are more details regarding its sleep and recovery gummies: Cbd Oil By Mike Wolfe
The sleep gummies contain 10 mg of CBD and 3 mg of melatonin per serving of 2 gummies. The company recommends that adults take 2 gummies 30 minutes prior to going to sleep.
