Georgie Porgie's Puddings is a specialist pudding producer based in Budleigh Salterton. The team produce a small range of mouth-watering Christmas Puddings and Steamed Puddings and, over the years, have built a very loyal fan base.
We were asked to produce a new eCommerce website with the ability to display wholesale pricing to specific users for Georgie Porgie's Puddings and as a result, help increase the number of website sales. We were given free reign over the methods we used.
The team here at Vibrant Pulse, have also been asked to assist in printing and design needs for other areas of the business marketing.
With the first complete month of sales recorded, we hit an increase of 40% to website sales based on the same period the previous year with the old eCommerce website by far exceeding any initial expectations. We have achieved this with an increased social media presence, an improvement in product photography and descriptions, alongside an improved, streamlined eCommerce website design and using a multiple of different online marketing methods to achieve the results.
Since the launch, we have continued to run George's website alongside creating Facebook campaigns, newsletters, website graphics and much more. We are looking forward to a continued relationship with George and his team.
George, who run's Georgie Porgie's Puddings, is very happy with the work we have completed for him over the years.

New CCTV system for Bolsover District
We are investing £200,000 into providing CCTV across the District.
The initial 12-month trial will see a central CCTV monitoring suite established, along with cameras installed at the Council's six independent Living Schemes in Creswell, Shirebrook, Hillstown, Blackwell, Pinxton and Clowne.
In addition, three fixed cameras and six re-deployable cameras will be made available across the District to help us target known vulnerable areas, provide support to the emergency services and reassurance to the public.
Council Leader, Councillor Steve Fritchley said, "Bolsover District is a relatively safe place to live and visit. But we want to provide that extra reassurance to our residents that we are doing everything we can to keep them safe and this is shown through our commitment in heavily investing in this new CCTV suite.
"Our Enforcement Team do a great job looking after the vulnerable and elderly, but we wanted to expand upon this and use all the tools at our disposable so we can help combat any crime or disorder in the area.
"This new CCTV suite will not only act as a deterrent but a device that we can deploy to known hot-spots and target any would-be offenders."
Parish and Town Council's will also be invited to subscribe to the CCTV monitoring suite service and enable any existing CCTV camera's to be linked to and monitored by the new suite.
The initial 12-month trial will be constantly monitored to ensure it is providing good value and a further report to Council will be submitted to decide whether the system should be permanently installed.
This new CCTV suite is in addition to a £60k grant the Council received from the Safer Streets Fund to purchase a new overt CCTV van that will patrol the District. The van will be used as a deterrent against anti-social behaviour, promote cohesive communities, reassure local communities and allow for information and intelligence to be shared across the area.

Q: Passing Data from Service to Component Before someone mark this as duplicate Below are the links that I tried and failed
Angular 2 - passing data from service to component
How to subscribe to an event on a service in Angular2?
Scenario
I want to sent data from my ng2 service to component and the data is being loaded from an API using ng2 HTTP
Below is the dummy code
MyService
@Output() event_callback: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter();

getUserDetails(id)
{
    var user_data;
    this.loadRemoteUrl('getUserdata?user_id=' + id).subscribe(
        data => { user_data = data},
        err => console.error(err),
        () => {
            console.log('Inside My Service');
            this.user_data = user_data;
            this.event_callback.emit(this.user_data);
        }
    );
}

MyComponent
constructor(private http:Http, private myService: MyService)
{
    var userDetails;
    myService.event_callback.subscribe(
        data => this.callbackFunction()
    );
}

callbackFunction()
{
    console.log("Inside MyComponent")
}

Console Log
Inside My Service

The HTTP request is returning data properly which I tried dumping before emit and it worked but problem is I am unable to access data in my component, I tried passing data,now I am just some logging messages to identify flow but still unable to see the log message from my component file.
What did I miss?

A: In your case instead of @Output i recommend use observable Subject.
In your service, insted of:
@Output() event_callback: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter();

Create new observable source and stream (Remember to import Subject from "rxjs/Subject"):
private eventCallback = new Subject<string>(); // Source
eventCallback$ = this.eventCallback.asObservable(); // Stream

Insted of:
this.event_callback.emit(this.user_data);

Send message by:
this.eventCallback.next(this.user_data);

And then, in your component:
myService.eventCallback$.subscribe(data => {
    this.callbackFunction();
});

Q: PHP array_push error My code is as below,
$products = array();
for($i=0; $i < sizeof($sales); $i++){
    if(!in_array($sales[$i]['Product']['product'], (array)$products)){
        $products = array_push((array)$products, $sales[$i]['Product']['product']);
    }
}

I'm getting an error called Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference...
I'm using php5

A: You don't use array_push like that, that's your basic problem. You're trying to fix an error you're producing by casting $products to an array, which causes a new error. You use array_push like this:
array_push($products, ...);

You do not assign the return value back to $products, because the return value is the new number of elements in the array, not the new array. So either:
array_push($products, $sales[$i]['Product']['product']);

or:
$products[] = $sales[$i]['Product']['product'];

Not:
$products = array_push($products, $sales[$i]['Product']['product']);

and most certainly not:
$products = array_push((array)$products, $sales[$i]['Product']['product']);

Please RTM: http://php.net/array_push

A: The first parameter ($products in your case) has to be a reference, therefore a variable has to be passed. You now cast the variable to an array first and the result of that cast cannot be passed by reference since it is not assigned to a variable. You will have to assign it to a variable first or remove the cast.

Thankfully, Lucy has not been affected too much by her ordeal and is eating well. She has no serious injuries; she is just a little stunned by the accident.
Lucy is now in an outside run after her collision with a bus! She is doing really well and we can hopefully open the doors for her soon.
Lucy has been successfully released on site after her stint in our outside pre-release run. She couldn't believe her luck, and was flying around the runs before settling in a nearby tree.


If you get the opportunity, definitely do this course. It is time well spent and you will be looking forward to each week. Everyone should allocate time to looking after themselves and review if they are on the right path. Great fun and you meet lovely people.
I thoroughly enjoyed my life coaching experience with Una Hearne over the last couple of months. It was a very empowering process with pleasant surprises along the way. Exploring my values was one of the most interesting and key parts of my experience. Una was a wonderful facilitator and guide through this process.


The National Order of the Arrow Endowment Fund was started at the end of 1978. The initial $15,000 placed in the Endowment came from the sale of plastic Vigil Honor membership cards. Sales of these Vigil Honor cards allowed the OA to purchase two Joseph Csatari paintings, Gift of a Lifetime and Visions of the Founder. Later, the cards provided the seed money to start the Endowment.The National Order of the Arrow Endowment Fund was created to preserve and perpetuate the history and traditions of the OA. To date, the interest, dividends and other earnings from this endowment has provided crucial funding to such programs as the OA Trail Crew, the OA Wilderness Voyage, the OA Ocean Adventure, the OA Museum and popular attractions at the Boy Scout National Jamborees, such as Scoutopia, Twelve Cubed, and The Mysterium Compass.
Arrowmen are encouraged to give to the Endowment fund. One method is by purchasing special endowment recognition pieces. Another is by becoming a National Order of the Arrow Legacy Fellowship recipient or becoming a member of The Goodman Society.
The Goodman Society has been specifically created to honor and perpetuate the memory of the Founder of the Order of the Arrow, E. Urner Goodman. Membership in the Goodman Society is available to all Arrowmen, former and current, who desire to be a part of a national fellowship to perpetuate the ideals and mission of the OA. Membership is extended to those who incorporate the National OA Endowment in their charitable bequests, charitable trusts, or life insurance/retirement plan designations.

No sooner have the stores cleared the 4th of July items off the shelves and it's on to back-to-school with a side of Halloween candy. But don't blink, because then the Christmas stuff will be out in droves. There's no denying the retail world wants to remind us of what is right around the corner, and the recent change in weather has us really realizing that fall is just about here! Whether you're a fall fanatic guzzling PSLs or a Christmas enthusiast already listening to your favorite merry tunes (my wife is all of the above), there are probably holiday treats in your not-so-distant future.
Why do orthodontist ask patients with braces or clear aligners to avoid candy?
It's not a secret that dentists and dental specialists don't exactly love Halloween, since the candy rolls out in early October and everyone is snacking on sugar for weeks on end. It really is true that sugar is terrible for your teeth! But having braces or other orthodontic appliances candy and treats especially tricky (Halloween pun intended). There are two main risks associated with eating candy while having orthodontic appliances; damage to the appliances and oral hygiene issues.
Throughout the journey of ortho treatment you will likely have to modify your diet to some extent. At first, and after monthly adjustments, patients tend to prefer softer foods while their teeth are tender and their lips and gums are adjusting to the wires, brackets, elastics, even clear aligners. Your orthodontist will probably tell you to avoid eating very hard snacks, like nuts or hard candy, as well as very chewy candy such as taffy or gum while undergoing braces treatment.
The reason is that these could damage or break an appliance. Biting down hard, or even at the wrong angle, could cause brackets to come off the teeth, appliances to break off, or wires to snap. While it is relatively easy to see you at the clinic within a few days to fix the issue, this is a completely avoidable problem. Just avoid eat foods on the no list! The foods that were easiest to eat at the start of treatment are the safest ones for your appliances. Beyond that, I like to say that if you really have to ask yourself if it is okay to bite into something, it probably isn't!
Why does sugary food damage your teeth while you are wearing braces or clear aligners?
The other troublesome issue that comes with appliances and candy is that the various hardware in your mouth can trap food particles. That translates to finding little bits of sugar and holding them down on the surface of your teeth, which is the recipe for cavities and decay! This problem is compounded by the fact that it is challenging to thoroughly clean your teeth while you have appliances and so the damage can increase pretty quickly.
Here at Porth we're well aware that it takes more than the provider's warning to stay away from the sugary stuff. It's delicious and it's everywhere, including our clinic lobby . So let's just touch on a few things that can help keep the problems at bay.
Foods to Avoid. For now you just have to skip nuts, hard candy, taffy, popcorn and other super-sticky types of candy like nougat, juju bees, bit o' honey, sugar babies, Charleston chew, etc. They'll all still be there when your appliances are removed.
Less is more. This is the time for moderation. The less sugar you put into your mouth, the less that can stick there and wreak havoc. Have one and move on.
Oral hygiene is everything. If you're eating more sweets it's especially important to get in there at the end of each day and deep clean your teeth and the hardware in your mouth. Use your flossers, waterpik, electric toothbrush, etc and clean the best you can. Sugar can't cause damage if it's washed away!
On the go care. You can't always get to a bathroom to brush after a meal or snack, we get it. It's also not practical to carry around all the extras you might need for a deep clean while you have orthodontic appliances. But there are a few simple ways to care for your teeth on the move.
– Rinse your mouth as best you can after eating. Give it a good hard swish around to move candies and food off the surface of your teeth.
– Use flossers to remove anything stuck between teeth or appliances between brushing.
– Drink lots of water. This helps wash down anything in your mouth and move it off your teeth.
Take aligners out to eat! Aligners prevent you from chewing effectively, and eating with them on can damage them. Make sure you take them out and store them carefully so as not to lose them when you have a meal or a snack.
Brush, rinse, repeat. It's hugely important to rinse aligners and your teeth after having sweets. Otherwise, the aligner will serve as a trap for sugary residue and hold it tightly on your teeth. This isn't good for the teeth or the tray. When you're done, put the aligner back in! This is so important to your overall treatment plan and progress, and you should always make sure they are in your mouth as many hours of the day as is possible.
Be mindful of the adjustment phase. Orthodontic treatment means your teeth are moving in your jaw bones, and this comes with some discomfort. For aligner patients, the days following a transition to the next tray means your teeth feel tender. There are a number of ways to manage this, but the easiest way to avoid excess pain is to avoid hard food and candy. The less pressure you place on the teeth, the better.
When you're in for appointments, don't hesitate to ask about certain foods or how to care for your teeth during ortho care. We are here to help make this process successful and enjoyable for you. Having braces or appliances is limiting but not restricting. Making good choices for your teeth and your health is part of the journey and the new habits you'll practice with that perfected smile.

Q: I have a static list of items with a title and a description that I want to use in multiple separate components, do I need to use state? It is a list of steps in a process that looks like this
[
  { title: 'Upload file', description: 'Here you can upload your file and ....'},
  { title: 'Pick a color', description: 'You can choose any primary color or ...'}
  {...},
  {...}
]

Now I have multiple components that use this list, I see multiple ways to use it in these components:
A) I'll just make a object out of this and store it in a file and then pass it as a argument at my top level component. However, the components that use this are nested at different levels.
B) I'll make a object out of this and store it in a file and export it. Then I'll import this in every component that uses it.
C) Store it in a context and use the context. However, I wonder what the benefit of that is over A and B?
Am I missing any options? Do you recommend one of these approaches over the other and if so why? If you have any reading material regarding this subject, I would love to learn soe

A: There is not much information about the rest of your code, but in general I would go for option B. There is no need for state or context if the list never changes. You might even think about putting it in a .json file if you don't need types as it is more configuration than code.
If you would need change detection on the list you could go for:

*

*State if it is only used in one component

*Context if it is shared between multiple components

A: Don't do A), it'll lead to prop drilling where you're forced to pass otherwise contextual data through components that have nothing to do with it.
B) is just fine if this list is static, and doesn't change dynamically.
C) is ok, if the data does need to change, but you can introduce that after first doing B, when you actually need that ability. I would however advise you to use context only for dep injection (injecting "services" into components whose references don't- or rarely change) and to use a something better for sharing state in a performant and concurrency-safe way, like zustand.

Matching Riddle: Exeter Riddles 75 and 76
Here's a riddle for you: what do a dog, Jesus, and someone taking a pee all have in common? Answer: they're all possible solutions for this week's riddle. Or riddles. Yes, there's quite a bit of mystery about Riddle 75 and/or Riddle 76, and the mystery starts with how many poems it or they actually is. Or are.
For reasons that will become clear below, I'm going to set the runes aside for a moment and focus on the two longer lines of poetry. The way they're written in the manuscript strongly suggests that they're two separate texts – each begins with capitalisation and on a new line, and closes with the kind of punctuation flourish normally reserved for endings. This is how a lot of editors, including Krapp and Dobbie, treat them. The problem is… there isn't much there. These might be the opening lines of two longer riddles, but if so the scribe forgot to include the rest. Other editors have preferred to combine these two lines into a single text. This has the advantage of providing a little more bulk to work with, and nods to the structural similarities between the lines. In fact, there's a sort of chiasmus – a balancing of two parallel clauses – in the contrast between the subject of the first line moving swiftly and the subject of the second line sitting alone. My feeling is that these two riddles are, in fact, a single text even if that's not how they're presented in the manuscript.
However we choose to edit the poem/s, one thing we can be confident about is that the runes are later additions. You see, when we find runes in the Exeter Book riddles they're usually integrated into the metre, meaning that they (or rather, the words they signify) carry alliteration. The first rune in Riddle 19, for example, is ᛋ (line 1b), whose name sigel picks up the s- alliteration from the preceding half line.
But that's not what happens here. These runes are just hanging out on the end of the first line, with not the slightest regard for alliteration or metrical stress or any of the things that make Old English poetry poetic. So what are they doing there?
The answer is that these runes have been interpolated – i.e. moved – from the margins into the text proper. This happens when a scribe is copying from one manuscript to another and mistakes a note in the margin for a continuation of the line. We see another of this kind of mistake in Riddle 36, and Andy Orchard argues it's also the source of Riddle 23's opening line (page 290). In both cases, these stray words were originally written into the margins of earlier copies of the poems, to provide cryptic clues for the riddles' solutions.
Now, if you're the sort of person who gets excited by manuscript-y stuff (aren't we all?), this is actually pretty cool. Today, all but one of the Old English riddles comes to us from the Exeter Book. Everything we think we know about these riddles – that they were written without solutions, for example – is based on this one manuscript. But what we get here is a glimpse of the earlier manuscript from which th Exeter Book itself was copied. Preserved in this odd mish-mash of a poem is the relic of what that lost manuscript looked like. It's the manuscript equivalent of finding dino DNA preserved in amber.

Once we've finished geeking out about palaeography, though, it's time to get down to the real business: solving this thing. As you can see, there isn't a great deal to go on. Taking only the poetic lines, we have either two riddles describing one thing moving quickly, and one thing sitting alone. Or we have one riddle describing both those things in tandem. No wonder someone thought it might be a good idea to include a little runic hint to help us along. What wise clue did our medieval runester grace us with?
Dnlh.
No, that's not an Old English sneeze. That's what the runes say. Dnlh.
It may come as no surprise that "dnlh" isn't a word, not in Old English nor in modern. But there are a couple of ways it might become a word, with some creative thinking and a loose approach to spelling. Reverse the letter order and add in some much-needed vowels and we might get hælend (lord). This solution was originally proposed by W. S. Mackie, who argued that the first line is a standalone riddle depicting Christ "as a hunter in pursuit of sin" (page 77). Playing around with letter order and vowels are two fairly common gambits in medieval cryptography – they're used in Riddle 19 and Riddle 23 (reversed letters), or Riddle 36 (changed vowels). That's solution one.
Solution one. Image from Wikimedia Commons (Public Domain).
But there's actually a way of finding some vowels without adding anything to the runes at all. When written in manuscripts, runic ᛚ (l) often ends up looking similar to runic ᚢ (u). And if there's one thing we can say for sure about the Exeter Book scribe, it's that he or she isn't particularly good at writing runes consistently. Changing the "l" for a "u" and reversing the letter order gives us hund (hound). So the riddle may be as simple as that: a poem about a dog running really fast, to which someone's helpfully added the word dog so that we know it's definitely about a dog. This is solution two, and it's a popular one (Bitterli, pages 105-10).
Solution two.

Solution three comes courtesy of Craig Williamson, who opines that "the pursuit of sin has no place in this riddle" (page 353), and that the word signified by our runic quartet is actually hland (urine). Williamson's reading supports combining the two lines into one poem; the contrast between them speaks to the contrast between male and female peeing… postures.
Solution three: not pictured. I'll leave it to your imagination. Image credit: Tuxyso via Wikimedia Commons (licence: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0).
Which one is the correct solution? It's honestly impossible to know. We don't even know for sure that the runes have anything to do with conveying a solution. But that ambiguity is pretty fun. In fact, I'd argue one of the best things about this poem (or these poems) is how evocative it is. These two little lines may represent the shortest of the Exeter Book riddles, but they've provoked page upon page of critical commentary encompassing a truly eclectic range of solutions and creative readings. And thus we get from Jesus Christ to peeing postures, via one happy hound!

Matching Riddle: Exeter Riddle 83
Hi all! Sorry it has been so long since our last post, but LIFE has been happening. And it has an irritating tendency to get in the way of writing. Still, I'm here now…let's do this thing.
Riddle 83 has Alanis Morissette levels of irony in its opening lines (too dated a cultural reference? pish tosh!). That good ol' burn mark that we've seen wreaking havoc upon the riddles toward the end of the Exeter Book extends down into this poem…just far enough to mess with its description of fire. Good joke, universe. Good joke.
And fire is essential to this riddle, which speaks of the production process involved in turning molten metal into coins.
Photo of molten gold (by Allen Drebert) from Wikimedia Commons (public domain)
Ore does it? (see what I did there?)
Yes, yes it does. The riddle is generally solved as Ore (Old English ora), though some read it as referring more specifically to gold or to currency. It has been read alongside the late antique, North African riddler Symphosius' take on the topic. His Enigma 91, Pecunia (Money) reads:
terra fui primo, latebris abscondita terrae.
nunc aliud pretium flammae nomenque dederunt,
nec iam terra vocor, licet ex me terra paretur.
(Leary, page 50)
(At first I was earth, hidden in the secret places of the earth. Now flames and a name have granted me a different worth, no longer am I called earth, although earth is obtained with me.)
Lots of similar ideas, yes? We can see a real focus on the earth and concealment here before the ore is mined, purified and enters into circulation. Then it comes to have aliud pretium (a different worth). This is certainly something we see in the Old English riddle as well, but with a lot more drama. Whichever metal Riddle 83 describes, its relationship with humans is clearly a contentious one: the ore tells us that entering the domain of humans brings it to grief and cuts it off from its family and history.
But ore will get its revenge.
Just as it is held against its will, it too has the power to imprison: it raises up hæftnyd (bonds of captivity). And if you aren't sure what these bonds are, just think Gollum.
Although he looks quite cheery here! Photo of Gollum at the Wellington Airport from Wikimedia Commons (public domain)
Money and treasure corrupt. This is not a new idea. And, as Craig Williamson points out (page 366), we see it in other Old English poems, like Beowulf:
Sinc eaðe mæg,
gold on grunde, gumcynnes gehwone
oferhigian, hyde se ðe wylle. (lines 2764b-6)
(Treasure, gold in the ground, easily overpowers every one of humankind, let him hide it who will.)
Clearly, Riddle 83 is riffing off these two ideas: that treasure holds a power over humans and that people like to hide it in the ground. In this case, what the earth conceals is ore in its unrefined state – so just potential treasure. When it's converted into actual, circulating currency…shit gets real.
But what's going on with this riddle's focus on fromcynn (lineage) and who's that broþor (brother) of the earth who first brought ore to gyrne (grief)? Well. WELL now. People have had many clever thoughts on this topic.
Patrick Murphy builds on earlier suggestions that the unnamed enemy of ore is Tubalcain, the biblical grandson of Cain (as in Adam and Eve's son of the Cain-vs-Abel fame) (page 142). Tubalcain is strongly associated with metalworking and was reputed to be the first smith because of a brief reference in Genesis 4.22. Murphy then goes on to suggest that Riddle 83 conflates Tubalcain with Cain himself: "the two figures are linked in their signature innovations: Cain invents murder, and Tubalcain invents weapons for more efficient murder" (page 146). Hence the bit about brothers. And hence all that hostility.
Here's a nice 14th-century wood cut of Tubalcain at work. Photo (by Sailko) from Wikimedia Commons (licence: CC BY 2.5)
Tracing Riddle 83's obsession with fromcynn (lineage) and old age (as in the word frod) back to the Old Testament creates a tidy sense of history within the riddle (Murphy, page 149). Thomas Klein argues that this riddle carries not only a sense of history, but also metaphorical echoes of a fallen angel – perhaps even Lucifer himself. There is ore's (or specifically gold's to Klein ) ancient lineage, its removal from his homeland, all that fire, and its ability to place people in bonds despite being captive itself (Klein, page 12).

So, gold is the devil then. And never forget: it owns you as much as you own it.
Righto, I'm going to leave you there to ponder your own relationship with treasure now. I'm not saying I agree with Riddle 83 in its gold-shaming, but then…I am a millennial, and we apparently have it in for the diamond industry. Why stop there, amirite?

Lingerie isn't just essential apparel that is used to cover the body; instead it's the one thing that can add a lot of spice in anyone's life. The wide range of costume lingerie can be used to don a new persona and to live out some of your secret fantasies.
Dressing up as a nurse, belly dancer, police officer or fairy princess has been done since ages in normal costumes, but using lingerie for this purpose is a very different and a very personal experience. You can dress up as any character for your man and charm him with your flirtatious looks.
Occasions like Valentine's Day or your honeymoon are the perfect times to go whacky and do something different not just for your partner but also for yourself.
Some big brands like BORDELLE, AYTEN GASSON, SENSUALLE and GLOBLOVE'S have introduced a wide and sensuous range of costume lingerie. This collection includes themes like bridal, gothic, film noir and many more. These, however, are the high end designer wear lingerie.
The themes for costume lingerie range from cheerleaders, holiday theme costumes, angels, nymphs, heroes, era costumes for the 20's, 50's, 60's and 70's, devils, mermaids, witches, wenches, vampires and to everything that you can think of!
Since today is Valentine's Day, go grab yourself the costume your love would want to see you in and make this day an unforgettable experience!


Yea it's good for people to watch other teams sometimes so they appreciate what they've got in New England.
No idea if this is trash talk/boasting, i'm a rookie lay off.
I don't want to watch NE any, because I don't want to see TB 12 and the career ending injury. Seriously.
Would be hilarious if Brady went to sh*t this year and Garoppolo came out as one of the best QB's in the league.
I think Garoppolo will be good but not great. The league will have had ample opportunity to adjust to him by now and I think he's going to turn it over at a fairly high rate.
As far as Brady, it'll just be a matter of maintaining arm strength since he doesn't rely on athleticism at all.
He can only have 2-3 Seasons left at this point though, right? But yeah i was mostly joking the last two seasons haven't given any indication that he's declining and a big part of his role is intellect related which will only get better as he ages.
Supposesdly he wants to play until he's 45. Who knows?
They certainly don't seem to be in a rush to find his successor.
That's exactly what i was wondering, does that suggest Belichick retires with Brady? I think when a QB hits 40 that's when you should start thinking about the next one even if they've got a few years left. It seems risky i mean Peyton declined very quickly it seems going from that MVP Season where he helped them to the Super Bowl to one of the worst QB's in the league within a couple of Seasons. I understand that was at least partially neck injury related, but like DD insinuated Brady's got to be at risk of a bad injury at his age possibly from one bad tackle. But yeah if he's playing another say three seasons they could get one for next season or the one after and have Brady mentor him before retiring.
Everything is so hush hush within the organization that nobody really knows, but there's nothing to suggest a correlation between Belichick's and Brady's retirement. I understand when people say Brady is at risk of injury due to his age and also his lean stature, but he's so much less likely to take that crippling hit than other players. He's also proven to be ridiculously tough. He missed the one year with a knee injury but besides that, I can't even remember him getting shaken up even on seemingly devastating hits.
If he does stick around it's gonna be weird seeing him without Brady, the Season Brady was out they still finished 11-5 though so i wouldn't doubt him. Same as seeing Popovich Post-Duncan (and now Kawhi), i feel like he's somehow gonna find a way to get the Spurs back into contention within five years if he sticks around.
I guess it'll depend on the situation. That year they went 11-5 they had the best roster they ever had, a QB who would be a pro bowler 2 years later in KC, and they still dropped 5 games off the previous season and weren't close to a championship threat. Great coaching can be hard to quantify because you need players who are true difference makers to contend. I certainly wouldn't want to lose Belichick but he's getting up there in age. So is Pop.
I guess it'll depend on the situation. That year they went 11-5 they had the best roster they ever had, a QB who would be a pro bowler 2 years later in KC, and they still dropped 5 games off the previous season and weren't close to a championship threat.
Did they lose a lot between the 2008 and 2009 Seasons? Because with Brady back they went 10-6. The Season before the 16-0 one they only went 12-4 too. Just curious, i know he's a major difference maker and fact is Belichick can come up with the schemes and tactics but if there's not someone there like Brady who can carry them out so consistently then they're largely useless.
Yep they lost a ton and then they really struggled with a subpar roster until about the last 5 years. Even when they got to the Super Bowl in 2010 they weren't a really good team.
I'd say give yourself a chance and make them after.
Gonna be nervous as hell watching the Vikings-49ers match, a few have picked it and i'm the only one that went for San Fran.

Razer Blade 14-Inch Gaming Notebook Review
by Dustin Sklavos on July 2, 2013 1:00 PM EST
Introducing the Razer Blade 14-Inch In and Around the Razer Blade 14-Inch System and Futuremark Performance Gaming Performance Display, Battery, Noise, and Heat Conclusion: So Close, Yet So Far
Introducing the Razer Blade 14-Inch
Despite arguably still being a market that supports growth, the gaming notebook arena has remained relatively staid over the past few years. At the highest end we're still looking at just Alienware and Clevo, with MSI, ASUS, and the odd Toshiba picking up the slack. Risking using a buzzword that makes most journalists froth over with rage and irritation, this is a market that's fairly ripe for innovation but hasn't seen a tremendous amount of it.
Razer's entry into the gaming notebook arena wasn't a total game changer, but it was definitely an eyebrow raiser. The original Razer Blade was an ultrathin gaming notebook, featuring an industrial design rivaled only by its profound inability to handle the tremendous heat generated by its components and its nearly impossibly high price tag. The second version did a lot to ameliorate those complaints, but I suspect it's really going to take the combination of Haswell and Kepler to get this concept where it wants to be (price notwithstanding). Thankfully that's what Razer is offering in their third generation of gaming notebooks.
Splitting the line into two models, the newest revision of the 17.3" Razer Blade gets dubbed the Razer Blade Pro, with the non-Pro nomenclature falling to the brand new 14" model. At the risk of being premature, I suspect the 14" Razer Blade is going to be the more desirable of the two notebooks: hardware specs are virtually identical between the Blade and Blade Pro, with the primary differentiators being the 1080p display and Switchblade panel in the Pro. Cutting down the Pro to a slightly more conventional 14" gaming notebook has left Razer with an attractive machine that's hard not to compare to Apple's MacBook Pro.

It's hard to feel like any compromises have really been made in terms of the Razer Blade 14-inch's internal hardware. The Intel Core i7-4702HQ CPU boasts a healthy 2.2GHz nominal clock speed across four cores and is able to turbo up to as high as 2.9GHz on all four or 3.2GHz on a single core. This is the situation that Haswell is ideal for: a thin portable chassis with somewhat limited cooling capacity.
Despite being essentially a refresh of extant silicon, NVIDIA has actually made some fairly impressive strides with the second generation of Kepler mobile GPUs. The GK106 chip has turned out to be a solid desktop offering, but like Haswell, its true destiny may very well be in mobile. That chip powers the Razer Blade's GeForce GTX 765M, the same mobile GPU you're going to find in Alienware's competing 14-inch notebook. It's a slightly cut down GK106 chip, sporting 768 CUDA cores at a nominal 797MHz clock speed, and it comes with NVIDIA's Boost 2.0 enabled. That should allow it to hit speeds as high as 900MHz during gaming, thermals depending. 2GB of 4GHz GDDR5 is attached to a 128-bit memory bus.
Meanwhile, storage is handled by Samsung's 840 series SSD, shrunk down to an mSATA form factor. This is the only differentiator between the three models of Razer Blade 14-inch: $1,799 will get you 128GB of storage, $1,999 will get you 256GB, and $2,299 will get you 512GB. While your gaming needs may vary, I've found that 256GB is pretty much the minimum for all my stuff plus the games I need on the go. Individuals looking to use the Blade as their primary system (and it's totally feasible) may actually want to make the jump to the 512GB.
Where Razer does come up short with the 14-inch Blade is connectivity. Three USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI port should theoretically be enough to cover the most basic needs, and I'm even willing to forgive the lack of a card reader on a notebook that's geared exclusively towards gaming. Lacking wired gigabit ethernet is a more bitter pill to swallow, though. The Killer Wireless-n ameliorates this somewhat, but it doesn't replace it. For serious online play there's just no substitute for a stable wired connection.

One thing I have always enjoyed and appreciated about AnandTech.com is the BLEND of ANALYTICAL ANALYSIS and OPINION... and their distinction between them.
The AnandTech staff will often say share the bias they had coming into a review, and how it was supported or how they were surprised (in both good and bad ways). They also talk about how their usage pattern might affect their opinion.
This is by far my favorite tech review site. Reply

Brian Klug's review of the HTC One (April 5, 2013 - http://www.anandtech.com/show/6747/htc-one-review) stands out as truly singular in nature. It is the finest tech review I've ever had the pleasure of savoring.
In fact, my labeling it as a "tech review" does both Brian & AnandTech a disservice: Brian's efforts are a distillation of literary excellence as applied through journalistic themes. Very Well Done One & All!

Why not leave the Apple hatred at the door where it belongs? An article about "Best Mac Laptops" is a) only going to contain information about Macs and b) will be appreciated by some readers of this site. It's not a "Best Laptops" article that only contains Macs, is it? Reply
In reply to dsumanik (7/2/13):
A person of intelligence & integrity is capable of holding a distinct personal preference for a given *Something* and simultaneously rendering a reasoned, well supported, & laudably fair critique on that *Something* or *Some-other things*. In fact, such figures in public forums were once respected, & were seen to be exemplars of an ideal worth striving toward.
Our current cultural climate, however, guides us to accept as our reference point the fact that, regardless of an individuals voice, there is always an undisclosed personal agenda being promoted. Essentially, no one but "ME" (read as, "You the Reader") is capable of anything that isn't hopelessly tainted by the poison of blatant self-interest, abject Fanboi-ism, or both.
An unfortunate consequence is that examples of intelligent, reasoned, critical thought are becoming quite rare. One example of such analysis is to be found here: The HTC One: A Remarkable Device, Anand's mini Review; by Anand Lal Shimpi on March 21, 2013 4:49 PM EST - http://www.anandtech.com/show/6851/the-htc-one-a-r...
Okay, so, we can all agree that no one individual is "perfect". By combining our shared human fallibility with a shared assumption of good intent (until such trust is proved unwarranted), comment forums may become worth the time spent reading them.
PRO TIP: Not everyone can, or should be, immediately grouped in with the morally bereft Wall Street Ponzi Scheme Promoter, or the craven Supreme Court Justice voting to legalize unprecedented graft & corruption via Citizens United. Doing so only reveals a pathetic pattern of conveniently fact-free, wretched intellectual laziness that "The Ladies do NOT find appealing". Reply

Dustin,
I didn't say one word about how others review hardware. If you do something bad, the fact that everyone else does it too, doesn't make it OK.
The obvious problem inherent in reviewing what you're sent is you only have what the manufacturer wants you to have. They know how their product works and they probably won't knowingly send a lemon to Anandtech. Therefore they pretty much know a bit about what you're going to say on their behalf when they send you a package. So you are sort of a mouthpiece.
Another problem is that you actually miss a lot of good stuff, like the Lenovo laptop the OP mentioned. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Tuesday, July 2, 2013 - link
You really don't understand how this works, do you? The industry operates the way it does for a reason, and if you think companies are just sending out their best stuff, you're giving them too much credit. They send out what they think will be the most compelling, but a lot of this stuff is going through PR companies.
If you really think I'm a mouthpiece, I highly encourage you to go back and read my review of MSI's GT70 Dragon Edition. Reply

Here are a few writing contests that are looking for animal stories.
Note: I don't have any personal experience with any of these markets, so if you have questions about them you'll need to contact the editors/webmasters directly.
Deadline: No deadline for stories; runs a story contest but no new one announced for this year yet. Keep an eye on the site for contest updates.
I have a lot of stories I could tell about animals and they are real. I even learned a lesson from a spider once and there was a praying mantis who used to visit me. Have you ever talked to a praying mantis? ... they listen you know.
Now, I am a bit confused about the path I am on. I never realized that there was even that much interest in animals and nature other than for hunters. I wish I had the time to pursue some of these contests and etc. but if I start doing that then I'll be neglecting the business I am trying to establish.
I have included writing about animals for my own business but I have not written anything about my personal experiences with them. I felt it would be inappropriate to do that considering the focus is supposed to be on others and not me.
You might want to check out the Angel Animals site, Gehanna. I browsed through it and it sounds like you might have some stories they would like. They're looking for personal stories.
I'm not trying to stir up anything, but I'm curious. How do you fellow animals writers feel about "exposure only" submissions from which someone else will profit? I've been an animal writer (horses and cats) for several years and have found that there are LOTS of editors and site owners who love to publish free samples of someone else's writing. I did manage at one online 'zine to trade my articles for advertising space for my daughter's business, but I'm not thrilled with the fact that so many publishers seem to think we don't need to be paid for our work.
That's why I added that caveat when I listed the markets. That way if a writer has any questions about payment, contributor copies, guidelines, or whatever, they can go directly to the source for the scoop and then make an informed decision on whether or not to submit something. I am also trying to provide a diverse mix of markets/contests so that there might be something for everyone.
I write for a living, so guess which markets I target? :) But others write purely for personal enjoyment and don't mind being paid only in copies, or by seeing their words online. I do hope that everyone will carefully consider all the angles before sending their work to a market they are unfamiliar with. That's what I do.
Glad you dropped in on this forum! I hope you'll continue to post such thoughtful comments.
I saw the warning, but was curious as to whether anyone else had a different take on the site. I guess I'm in the "once burned, twice shy" crowd. I'm still steaming over an encounter with a really nasty magazine editor who had the nerve to accept my article, then announce after the fact that they were only offering exposure. The site clearly stated a per-article price. I argued the point, and she got nastier with each email. Can you imagine?
I wonder if this is endemic to the animal markets.
Good grief, she sounds like an editor I'd want to stay far, far away from! Sorry that happened to you.
You might get more of a response from the others if you posted your question in a new thread. Could be that everyone thinks this thread is just about contests. Why don't you give it a shot and see if anybody has any thoughts?
My take is that no, the problem is not just endemic to the animal markets. At least, I hope not!
Thanks, Anne. I'll search first to make sure the topic hasn't been done to death before I post. I don't want to be elected "Most Annoying Newbie of 2005".
Anne, you're a hoot! :ROFL: Thanks for the kind words.
Low-tech-wise, you will never top my favorite German teacher who came to me in a panic because she couldn't get her printer to print the expensive foreign-language news report she'd subscribed to. I asked the usual questions, then went to her room. The monitor screen was dark; there was no hum coming from the CPU; the printer was silent. You could almost hear crickets chirping, it was so quiet in there! I turned the computer around. There was no power cord. It wasn't just not plugged in; the cord was entirely missing. I have no idea why she thought she'd be able to receive an internet news program--let alone print the output--without a computer.
Have any interesting original recipes for pet treats? How about recipes for human food that have animal-inspired titles? Then you may want to check out this contest. There is a monetary prize for first place ($50.00) and a gift prize for second place. Check the website for complete contest details.

Seven Natural Wonders is an organization that was created with the mission of protecting and promoting the natural wonders of the world. The project was launched in 2008 in response to the New 7 Wonders efforts to change the natural wonders of the world. This announcement was made following the campaign's efforts to establish a new list of modern man-made wonders.

Seven Natural Wonders launched an effort to expand the 7 Natural Wonders of the World by creating campaigns to add the Seven natural Wonders for each continent.  These campaigns differed from the efforts of New 7 Wonders because every wonder of nature was eligible with no requirements for entry fees and sponsorship fees of any kind.  This campaign was further distinguished by avoiding the influence of marketing, advertising and social media, with the winning wonders being determined by experts from around the world who leveraged statistical and traditional significance, uniqueness, and pure splendor.

Seven Natural Wonders was established to protect the original vision and declaration of the seven natural wonders of the world. Their list of the natural wonders includes:
 Aurora Borealis (also known as the northern lights)
 Harbor of Rio de Janeiro
 Grand Canyon
 Great Barrier Reef
 Mount Everest
 Victoria Falls
 Parícutin, Mexico
The mission of Seven Natural Wonders is to promote and protect the natural wonders.

Q: Google Maps do not display correctly. Interpretation of error About three months ago I added my website on DigitalOcean. I bought the template from the official bootstrap site and added my variables along with the API Key generated from the Google platform in my template. My site look like this https://e-bluedesign.pl/kontakt/ .
About six days ago my Google maps stopped working completely and I can't restore them to their proper display.
Actions I did:

*

*I generated the key and added it to my Bootstrap template

*I activated all map services in my Google account panel along with JavaScript maps
Error which i see on my website (in console):
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
    at common.js:70
    at Object._.jd (js?key=MY_API_KEY&callback=initMap:61)

I am trying to identify where such an unusual error occurred without my actions, hence the following questions:

*

*Does Google anywhere provide information about where the error comes from? if so where?

*Can the error come from not accepting the prepaid card in my Google payment system? If so, why was it accepted earlier, should Google not be notified by email? My Gmail service with my own domain also still works on the card I use for the API (and of course I never exceed the free budget that requires payment after crossing it).

A: The problem was Google's disabling payments via prepaid cards. Although my Google Maps did not generate any costs. It was the lack of a current card that caused the map not being displayed.
I found more information here:

Перший сезон американського інтернет-серіалу  в жанрі космічний вестерн «Мандалорець» з Педро Паскалем в головній ролі. Паскаль виконує роль самотнього мисливця за головами, найнятого знайти «Малюка». Серіал є частиною франшизи «Зоряні війни», дія якого розгортається через п'ять років після подій «Повернення джедая» (1983).

Виробництвом сезону займалися компанії Lucasfilm, Fairview Entertainment і Golem Creations, а Джон Фавро виступив в якості шоураннера серіалу. Джон Фавро виступив як шоураннер проекту. Про роботу над новим серіалом «Зоряних воєн» було оголошено в листопаді 2017 року. Фавро підписав контракт в березні 2018-го. Паскаль отримав роль після того, як почалися зйомки в жовтні 2018 року на «Manhattan Beach Studios» в Каліфорнії. Компанія візуальних ефектів  розробила технологію «StageCraft» для серіалу, використовуючи віртуальні декорації і 360° відео стіну для створення навколишнього середовища в серіалі.
