in Celebrities, Exclusives, Interviews, Movies
Oliver Swift August 7, 2020, 5:20 am
FandomWire's Oliver Swift had the opportunity to speak to Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark director, André Øvredal, about his new film, Mortal. Read on to see André and Oliver discuss the beauty of location, Norwegian Americans and the portrayal of Thor in popular culture.
OS: Hello and welcome to the FandomWire show, I'm Oliver Swift and I'm here with screenwriter and film director, André Øvredal, who is here to talk about his new film, Mortal. How are you doing, André? It's good to speak to you today.
AØ: How are you? It's very good to speak to you.
OS: I'm good, thank you. Just to start with, can you give us a brief overview of the film?
AØ: It's the story of a Norwegian American, Eric, who has travelled back to Norway to basically find his roots and we meet him three years after he's actually arrived, alone and as a hermit up in the mountains on the west coast of Norway. And it's really a mystery of how he's ended up there and what he's doing is he's hiding from society, after a terrifying, supernatural event that has caused havoc. He is eventually taken by the police after he ends up, by accident, killing a young man. Then, we slowly unravel a huge, mythological mystery, as he's being chased around the countryside for the murder of this kid.
Signature Entertainment presents Mortal on Digital HD August 3rd and DVD August 24th
OS: You mentioned there the film is set in Norway and a lot of the cast are Norwegian, so what was the inspiration and choice behind casting an American, Nat Wolff, as the lead?
AØ: I wanted to create a story about a person who is digging into his past and is discovering himself, basically, who he really is. I found that there is a lot of Americans with Norwegian heritage and they come to Norway, when they can, to rediscover their roots. I know many people like this and I wanted to tell a story about a person like that, who discovers something just unbelievable. I like the idea that, when you come from the outside into a world, you can lead the audience on a huge discovery. I think it was very exciting telling it that particular way.

OS: You also make great use of the landscapes in Norway. At the beginning, you have all these sweeping shots of the hills and the forests, and there's that beautiful sequence on the bridge later on in the film – what do you think the importance of location in this film and in film, generally?
AØ: Generally, I think that shooting in real places gives an authenticity. I like films that are grounded even though they are huge in topic, or they have supernatural sides to them, but I love keeping it grounded and setting it in a real environment, as opposed to a studio environment, really adds a layer of reality. And with a film that still has a really low budget compared to huge international movies, trying to achieve scale and beauty, in a way, what we have in Norway is amazing nature. To be able to keep that constantly as a backdrop for our scenes gives it a unique flavour and a certain sense of scale that the movie really has.
OS: Do you find that Norway is underrepresented in films? Just in terms of the country itself?
AØ: Yes, compared to Peter Jackson, for example. He drew amazing productions to New Zealand almost single handedly, with The Lord of the Rings obviously being the prime movie series. I think Norway has the potential to do the same. We have such beautiful, amazing nature and a variance in shooting environments. It's taken a while to get tax incentives to Norway. We are now getting Mission Impossible shooting back to back movies here, Black Widow was shooting here, the last James Bond movie, Tenet. So, it's really growing.
OS: Great, that's good to hear. So, the film focuses a lot on adapting Norse mythology with the lead character Eric, finding out he has similar powers to the god, Thor. For me, British mythology is stories like Saint George and the Dragon, which is a story I grew up with. In Norway, are all children familiar with Thor and Odin and that kind of mythology?
AØ: I don't think we're being taught it as much as you'd expect actually, considering it's such a deep, profound part of our culture. It filters into everything, from the name 'Thors-day' or 'Thursday'. I don't even recall having real classes about the mythology in school. It's almost like a given that you should know about it. I think because it's so present in the culture, every day, you're always aware of it.
OS: The character of Thor, in particular, has made a surge in popular culture due to being a superhero in the Marvel films. Did that version of the character have any influence on how you wanted to tell this story?
You Might Also Like: Thor 4: Jane Foster to Become a Valkyrie?
AØ: Obviously, Marvel created their own version both in the comics and the movies, but it's based very much in the classic image of who Thor is. If you look at drawings, in Norwegian books or international books, the big, blonde superhero character is very much present. So, I basically wanted to do the opposite of that. I wanted somebody who was totally surprising and somebody who's just a person. He's not, in image, a god. And our character is not actually Thor, anyway. I like the idea of descendants and how, in a way, it dilutes purity and how it becomes reality. I just enjoyed the idea of creating a very different Thor mythology, still based in all the stories, but visually different to what you'd expect. And I don't think Marvel is necessarily the guide, I think it's the way that Thor has always been depicted that's the guide, in a way.
OS: Are you a fan of the Marvel films, at all?
AØ: Oh, of course. The first one was great fun and I think the last one was hilarious and quite wonderful.
OS: I don't want to go into specific details, because of spoilers, but I'm curious as to when exactly you thought up the end of the film?
AØ: Very early in the process. I wanted to end the film with, without saying too much, I wanted it to end with that twist. And I wanted it to end with, what happens to one character at the end, that was always part of the journey of the characters, basically from the original conception of the story. It's a really tricky ending because you're twisting and turning everything. You're going out with a bang and a surprise that could even cause the audience to react negatively to it, because it ends really abruptly. But, to me, it always was my ending. The ending that I wanted for the movie.
A synopsis reads:
Based on ancient Norse Mythology, a young boy must discover the origins of his extraordinary powers before he is captured by authorities hell-bent on condemning him for an accidental murder. A breath-taking and thrilling origins adventure story about one boy's journey to uncover who, or what, he really is.
Mortal is available to on Digital HD August 3rd and DVD August 24th, in the UK. It stars Nat Wolff, Iben Akerlie and Priyanka Bose.

Chris Pratt On Kurt Russell: He's A True Master
By Holly Williams in Movies / TV / Theatre on 25 April 2017
Chris Pratt Kurt Russell
Chris Pratt loved having Kurt Russell as his on-screen dad so much he asked him to take it on as a permanent role.
Chris Pratt has confessed that getting to work with his hero Kurt Russell on the set of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' was one of his favourite experiences on a movie set ever. He'll be changing his name to Chris Russell any day now.

Obviously the 37-year-old gets to work with a lot of awesome actors on the Marvel movie franchise, but the introduction of Kurt Russell as Chris' character Peter Quill's long-lost alien father Ego in the forthcoming sequel made it all just that little bit more awesome.

Chris Pratt Backtracks On 'Blue Collar America' Comments
By Ed Biggs in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 24 April 2017
Pratt had claimed that blue collar America was under-represented in Hollywood movies - but nothing could be further from the truth.
Hollywood hunk Chris Pratt has backtracked on remarks he made about "blue-collar" stories being unrepresented in the American film industry, admitting that it was a "pretty stupid thing to say".
The 37 year old actor was making comments about the nature of Hollywood and the kinds of stories being portrayed on the silver screen, and was pulled up on comments he made about working class America being under-represented.
"I don't see personal stories that necessarily resonate with me, because they're not my stories," the actor told Men's Fitness last week while promoting his new movie, Marvel's next blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

By Holly Williams in Movies / TV / Theatre on 02 March 2017
All kinds of familial reunions take place here.
Once again the fate of the galaxy is in the hands of a wise-cracking human male, a few aliens, a racoon and a tree. And if the new trailer for 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' is anything to go by, this time it's all about family.
'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' is all about family
So the first film brought together a motley crew of characters who band together each with their own goal in mind, and the intention of going solo once their mission is over.

Her Trailer
Theodore Twombley wasn't exactly having the best time in his life. He never socialised, seldom spoke to his family and he had just been through a distressing marriage separation. That was, until, he met Samantha; a computer operating system designed to fit his every need. With a voice more human than you could imagine from a machine and a witty, caring but slightly nosey personality, Theodore becomes more and more attached to her. However, soon the distinction between man and machine becomes evident when he begins to fall deeply in love with her, despite the fact that she knows little about how human relationships work. With her gradually reciprocating love, Theodore gets caught in a crisis when he is forced to come to terms with the fact that the only person he wants to spend the rest of his life with isn't even a physical entity.
This romantic sci-fi tells the heart-breaking but troubling story of the relationship between human beings and their beloved machines. With a thoroughly talented cast, it has been directed and written by Spike Jonze ('Where the Wild Things Are', 'Being John Malkovich', 'Adaptation.') and it set to feature in cinemas in the US on November 20th 2013.

The Guardians of the Galaxy stars were on-hand to promote the movie - still a year off - at Comic Con 2013.
Though it was Thor 2, Breaking Bad and The Hunger Games that made headlines at Comic-Con, the Guardians of the Galaxy gang were about to promote James Gunn's movie, which is still a way off - set for release on August 1, 2014.
A newly bald Karen Gillan - who shaved her head for the film - discussed getting in shape for the high-octane movie, telling us on the red-carpet, "I feel like I'm in an action movie bootcamp right now where I am on set everyday learning how to fight and I'm training like crazy and it's a really cool way to get into the character I think."
Her co-star Lee Pace praised the movie's director, saying: "James Gunn has got a great vision for the movie. He just showed us a little clip of what he's been working on for the past 10 days and it's excellent."

Vince Vaughn Looks Set To Bring Laughs In The Delivery Man Trailer [Video]
By Joe Wilde in Movies / TV / Theatre on 28 May 2013
Vince Vaughn Cobie Smulders Chris Pratt
The movie is the third comedy being released by Vaughn this year, with Chris Pratt and Cobie Smulders also staring.
The Delivery Man is the new comedy from writer/director Ken Scott (Starbuck) and what looks to be one of the outsider bets for the year's best comedy blockbuster. With Vince Vaughn as the titular deliverer, the film also has nods to TV comedy faithfuls Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) and Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation) and looks as though it could deliver for cinema-goers after a good laugh.
Vaughn stars as a loveable slacker who finds out that he has fathered over 500 children thanks to an anonymous donation he made to a sperm bank two decades ago. When the families discover only one sperm donor was used for so many people a lawsuit is brought against the sperm-bank demanding that they reveal the father of their children, leaving Vaughn's character in a delicate situation where he must decide to either come forward of keep his head down, a decision not helped by the less-than-helpful tips from his best friend (Pratt).
The film is Vaughn's third comedy of the year, with the actor teaming up with long-time collaborator and friend Owen Wilson for The Internship this summer, whilst he will also be reprising his role as Wes Mantooth in the long-awaited Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues later this year. With Smulders' career on the rise thanks largely to the Avengers movie, Pratt is also experiencing a well-deserved boost in movie exposure, appearing in Spike Jonze's latest project, Her, The Lego Movie and the upcoming Marvel spectacle Guardians of the Galaxy in the coming months.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Has A Guardian: Chris Pratt
The Guardians Of The Galaxy cast is coming together, slowly but surely. Chris Pratt is to take the lead role of Star-Lord - a man with a human mother and alien father, Deadline report.
It's a big opportunity for Pratt, and he'll have to work hard to keep the legions of fans happy. But it's not as though he was the only option pursued by Marvel, who apparently made test deals with Joel Edgerton (Zero Dark Thirty) Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire) Jim Sturgess (Cloud Atlas) Lee Pace (Lincoln and The Hobbit) and Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables). They also talked to Zachary Levi. who was identified as a candidate while Joseph Gordon-Levitt was mooted, but he has other plans. Chris Pratt plays Andy Dwyer on the NBC series Parks And Recreation, and was seen on the big sreen recently in Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty.
Guardians Of The Galaxy first appeared in Marvel Comics back in in 1969 but wasn't awarded its own series until the 1990s. The story sees Star-Lord - to be brought to life by Pratt, and who's real name is Peter Quill - lead a group of alien superheros who team up to protect the solar system from an evil alien race. It's very much cut from the same cloth as the Avengers. In the comics, the Guardians worked with The Avengers, so you can expect to see some more familiar names used to boost this franchise for sure. An August 1, 2014 release date for Guardians of The Galaxy is planned.
Zero Dark Thirty Review
Blistering writing, directing and acting hold us firmly in our seats as this procedural drama snakes its way to a riveting action finale. Although it's sometimes not easy to know whether director Bigelow and writer Boal are celebrating or criticising the way America has conducted itself on the world stage in its war on terrorism. Clearly the characters believe that these dodgy methods are essential tools in their job. But the film cleverly respects and challenges our own views on the issues.
The story begins with the events of 9/11, after which the CIA is determined to track down Osama bin Laden. Spearheading the search is tenacious analyst Maya (Chastain), who works with her colleague Dan (Clarke) to interrogate prisoners and mobilise their team (including Ehle and Perrineau) to action. Their bosses (Chandler and Strong), the CIA director (Gandolfini) and the national security advisor (Dillane) offer support and challenges. And eventually they get approval to illegally send a black-op team into bin Laden's suspected hide-out in Pakistan.
It's astonishing that Boal and Bigelow have managed to tell this true story without taking sides. They have been criticised for possibly using classified details or for depicting torture as an interrogation tool, but the facts can't be denied just because we don't like them. And your attitude going in will probably colour how you feel about the movie: some will find this a story of triumph while others will be troubled by the methods it depicts. Either way, it's impossible to ignore the film's urgency as it pulls us into a fascinating story.

Zero Dark Thirty Trailer
Following the tragic events of the twin towers bombing on September 11th 2001 in New York City, Islamic extremist group Al Qaeda's leader Osama Bin Laden was the most wanted man in the entire world. He had managed to evade capture and certain execution for nearly ten years when, in the year of the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, he was found by the extraordinary Navy SEAL Team 6 and shot dead at his residence in Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 2nd. The event, however tarnished with conspiracy theories and speculation, marked a moment in history and was seen as a giant step in the current war on terror.
'Zero Dark Thirty' is the gritty historical drama telling the story of when Bin Laden was successfully captured and assassinated by a remarkable group of CIA operatives whose covert operations and well-kept secrets gave America their biggest victory in many years. With director Kathryn Bigelow ('Point Break', 'Strange Days') and writer Mark Boal ('In the Valley of Elah') who have previously worked alongside one another on the six time Academy Award winning war flick 'The Hurt Locker', it is set to be a seminal movie that may itself become an important part of history. It is set to be released on January 25th 2013.
Starring: Jessica Chastain, Scott Adkins, Jason Clarke, Joel Edgerton, Chris Pratt, Jennifer Ehle, Mark Strong, Taylor Kinney, James Gandolfini, Mark Duplass, Harold Perrineau, Jennifer Ehle, Kyle Chandler, Frank Grillo, Stephen Dillane & Edgar Ramirez.

Movie 43 Trailer
If you were hoping for a romantic comedy with a harmless storyline, romance and inoffensive jokes, the here's a warning: read no further. 'Movie 43' is one of the most cringe-worthy and uncensored taboo-filled flicks to be released in the history of comedy. Here you will see several interlinked stories with characters' lives surrounding unusual proposals, interrupting blind kids' parties, bad parenting, teenage menstruation, a confused and slightly racist basketball coach, innovative business ideas and the kidnapping of a violent leprechaun. Once you see this movie it is unlikely you will find a subject that offends you ever again.
With twelve different comedy genius directors including Peter Farrelly ('Dumb & Dumber', 'There's Something About Mary', 'Shallow Hal'), Steve Carr ('Daddy Day Care', 'Dr Dolittle 2'), Steven Brill ('Little Nicky') and Brett Ratner ('Rush Hour') to name but a few and eight different writers, this jaw-droppingly crude and often obscene movie features a diverse star-studded cast, both British and American, who have banded together to shock you in the most hilarious ways you can think of. Whatever kind of comedy you're into, 'Movie 43' probably has something in it for everyone and it is set to hit the big screen on February 1st 2012.
Directed by : Elizabeth Banks, Steven Brill, Steve Carr, Rusty Cundieff, James Duffy, Griffin Dunne, Peter Farrelly, Patrik Forsberg, James Gunn, Bob Odenkirk, Brett Ratner, Jonathan van Tulleken

This requires a microntroller board which is capable of reading a temperature sensor and sending the data to a central server over an IP network. The ZKit-ARM-1769 microncontroller is suitable for this project, since it has an I2C interface and Ethernet interface. Read on, to find out how to build a remote temperature monitor using the ZKit-ARM-1769.
The application running in the ZKit-ARM-1769 reads the temperature from the temperature sensor and pushes the data to a webserver, by invoking a callback URL. The central server stores the temperature data in a database. The data can be later queried and viewed from the web server.
Connect the Temperature Sensor Board to ZKit-ARM-1769 board, through the I2C header.
Connect the ZKit-ARM-1769 board to the network, using an Ethernet cable.
NuttX is a Unix like realtime operating system. NuttX has been ported to ZKit-ARM-1769. We will use the I2C and Socket API in NuttX to send the temperature to the server.
Flask is a web framework for Python based on Werkzeug, Jinja 2. Flask will be used to implement the central server to collect and display the data.
Sending the temperature to the server.
Storing the temperature to database.
Displaying the temperature from database.
i2c_init() initializes the I2C interface and temperature_read() reads temperature from the Temperature Sensor Board. This is discussed in detail in the article Temperature Sensor Board With NuttX.
To send the temperature to the server we need to setup the network parameters. This is done in network_setup().
For the purpose of this demo project, a bogus MAC address is configured, using uip_setmacaddr(). A real product will need a unique MAC address allocated by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authoriy).
A free IP address in the network must be obtained from the local network administrator. The IP address is converted and assigned using inet_pton() and uip_sethostaddr().
The gateway is not if the central server and the ZKit-ARM-1769 are on the same network. But if this is not the case, the gateway IP should be obtained from the local network administrator. The IP address is converted and assigned using inet_pton() and uip_setdraddr().
The subnet mask of the current network is obtained from the local network administrator. The mask is converted and assigned using inet_pton() and uip_setnetmask().
In app_main(), the temperature data is sent to the server. The procedure is described below.
Open a socket to the central web server, with the server's IP address and port no.
updatequery = "UPDATE temperature set temperature = ?, Time = ? WHERE Id = ?"
"""Establish database connection before http request."""
"""Update the database with temperature and time."""
"""Render a html file with temperature and time stamp."""
In init_db(), the database is created with table name temperature and columns id, temperature and time. The SQL script is stored in a separate file schema.sql.
The host argument in app.run(host="0.0.0.0"), configures the Flask application to listen on all network interfaces, so that server can be accessed from any system on the network.
The Flask application server listens for incoming HTTP requests. When the server receives a GET /update request, the update() funtion is invoked. In update(), the temperature data is extracted from the GET request and updated in the database.
The mapping from the GET request to the update() function is done using route decorator.
When the server receives a GET /display request, the display() function is invoked. In display(), the data is retreived from the database and rendered as a HTML page and returned back to the client.
The templates are located as shown in the following directory structure.
Flask has a built-in webserver for development purpose. The webserver has several limitations. One limitation that concerns us is that, HTTP keep-alive is not supported. Once a request has been served the server closes the connection. But in our little project we would like to open a HTTP connection for the temperature update and use the same connection for further updates.
So instead we use Twisted, a production quality HTTP server that supports WSGI. Twisted have a command line utility called twistd.
Run the flask application using Twisted, using the following command.

My brother committed suicide at the age
My brother committed suicide at the age of 17 in 1971. I dreamed last night that he came into my home following my younger brother. He was wearing the same clothes he died in: jeans, boots & a white t shirt. I kept trying to ask him where he has been all of these years (knowing he was dead). He wouldn't answer me...Just stood there almost like a robot, but gave off an odd sense of a chemical...I thought he smelled like embalming fluid he was not though, but the body was too destroyed to do so). My younger brother turned to door and as he was leaving, I kept telling him to wait that I wanted to see & talk to my late brother. My younger brother walked out the door say "he doesn't communicate." I work up then, but was so disturbed by this. One thing that stuck out the most was that my late brother's t shirt was a very dazzling white...almost blinding...I thought this must mean something for sure.could you please give me your opinion?

I was wandering on a cruise ship and I found a secret room on the deck. Inside it, there was a beautiful but terrifying black panther. I looked at it in awe but was afraid of it so circled to the back of the room and the panther escaped out of the room and ran around the deck of the ship. The panther ended up mauling someone to death. The cruise ship security guards went searching for the guilty party who let the panther out of the room, but they did not catch me. I was able to lie my way through it and get away with everything, but I felt guilty and sad about the innocent person that died.

In the afternoon, we'll put it into practice by flying a Sprint task which is usually around 20km of fishbowling around Marshall. In the evening we'll download track logs and do a little debrief for pilots that want that. I'll also be flying with pilots in the task to help newer XC pilots.
The cost of the clinic is $50 which includes the task fee and retrieve for the day + a few goodies! If you have been to the task clinic before feel free to sit in for free. This year we'll be going over some new things like FTV and the details of the updated XC scoring format. It's always nice to have an extra set of hands to help everyone out.
If you are just flying the task it's $5/pilot (meet at noon at the LZ). Rides up are extra and will be between $5-15 depending on what vehicles we have available.

Q: How to deal with the need to raise WPF Validation.ErrorEvent in code behind There is this user control. It contains validation logic. The user control contains several input controls. These input controls are not invalid or valid on their own, but the combination of these values in the input controls is either valid or not. This means that a validation error never arises. Because no binding will ever cause a validation error. The ViewModel (re)validates itself when it notices any of the values in the input controls have changed and sets its IsValid property.
Now in a parent view this control is implemented, among other input controls, and the parent catches validation errors using the following event.
EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(ParentView), Validation.ErrorEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(ValidationError));

The issue is that the user control is not raising this event, because there is not control with a binding that is invalid. (Due to the validity depends on the combination of values, not a single control).
Currently I am looking at raising this Validation.ErrorEvent in code behind, but I doubt that is the way to go, if it would work at all.
How would I go about this?

A:
How would I go about this?

Maybe this is not what you want to hear but the way to go about this is to use a view model class that implements the IDataErrorInfo or INotifyDataErrorInfo and then bind the view elements to source properties of this one. Please refer to the following blog post for more about this and data validation in WPF in general: https://blog.magnusmontin.net/2013/08/26/data-validation-in-wpf/.
You then effectively move your validation logic to the view model and can test it separately without any views. If you have several views that are dependant on each other you could implement a view model class per view and then have a "parent" view model class where the final validation is performed. Trying to pass routed events between different views seems like a quite bad idea in my opinion. MVVM is the recommended design pattern for XAML based applications for a reason. You should really look into it if haven't already: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848246.aspx

PGA TOUR drops 20-year tagline
After two decades, PGA TOUR has launched a new campaign called "Live Under Par", moving away from its iconic and longest-running theme and tagline "These Guys Are Good", which debuted in 1997. It was also developed by Troika, a LA-based agency.
The campaign plays on the idea of golf's unique scoring language and looks to portray the "relentless pursuit of excellence" by TOUR players, both competitively and in how they embrace the values of the game like sportsmanship and respect. It also looks to showcase PGA TOUR's ingrained mission of giving back, a statement on its website read.
As part of the current integrated marketing strategy of the TOUR, the campaign aims to reach beyond the core golf fan and attract new and diverse fan segments to the sport. It will also serve as a call to action for dedicated golf fans to share their passion for golf and invite newcomers.
It will debut with a combination of television, digital, social, print, radio and advertising, along with tournament activation and support of PGA TOUR players, along with a micro site. One of the first initiatives included relaxing cell phone and social media guidelines at tournaments – providing both fans and players with the opportunity to create and share personally captured content.
Watch its spot here:
Joe Arcuri, CMO of the PGA TOUR said in a statement that the new campaign captures not just a way to play, but a way to be.
"The 'Live Under Par' campaign goes beyond capturing the incredible ability of PGA TOUR players to score below par each week by showcasing and celebrating that same attitude of excellence that exists between players, players with fans, and players interacting with communities and charities," Arcuri said.
"The campaign provides fans with new ways to engage in all the PGA TOUR has to offer and celebrates the shared mindset and spirit behind the constant pursuit of greatness. 'Live Under Par' is unique to the game, but with meaning that resonates far beyond it," Gilbert Haslam, executive creative director, Troika, said.

Turn World Oceans Day into World Oceans Yay!
Today is World Oceans Day, and thanks to David Attenborough's Blue Planet, (if you haven't watched it, where the hell have you been?) most of you are aware of the devastating effect plastic has had on our oceans and marine life.
A lorry full of the stuff is dumped in the sea every minute, where it can end up anywhere in the world. This means killing baby turtles, choking whales and even getting consumed by the fish we will then eat! Yuck!
HOWEVER, it's not all doom and gloom with regard to plastic, and without looking too hard I've got together five different initiatives that are standing up in the hope that others will follow suit, and tackle this plasticky problem!
Did you know that even when you recycle a cardboard coffee cup, it usually just gets sent to landfill, or dumped in the ocean? This is due to the fact it is lined with a plastic substance called polyacetylene, which is difficult and time consuming to separate from the cardboard.
Bagelman, a Brighton and Hove based group of bagel cafes, has come up with a plant based solution to this problem. Their cups are made with a PLA that makes the cup 100% biodegradable. In just 12 weeks the cup will be composted compared to the 30 years of its plastic counterpart.
In addition to making their cups biodegradable, they offer a discount for bringing your own cup. Hats off to Bagelman in tackling plastic, hopefully more companies will follow the initiative.
The UK based marine conservation charity Surfers Against Sewage have launched a campaign to encourage communities to reduce the use of single-use plastics and provide greener alternatives and reduce plastic pollution. Ovingdean is fully committed to the campaign, and has joined in to fight against plastic pollution, and hope to win the Plastic Free Coastline Award.
Jess Bavinton, Ovingdean's Plastic Free leader encourages other communities to try and become plastic free by making small changes. "Such changes could be as small as cutting out plastic straws, replacing disposable containers with reusable or compostable ones, or even becoming a water bottle refill station for passing walkers and cyclists," she says.
Ovingdean is even throwing its own green festival to shed light on plastic pollution and how to tackle it in a day of fun. There will be food, music, stalls and they will be joined by the likes of RSPB, Sussex Wildlife Trust and the Brighton Bee Society, so get yourself down to Ovingdean on Saturday 23rd of June and educate yourself on plastic!
West Sussex based Michelle Woodhouse became sick and tired of seeing how much cling film and single use plastic she was throwing away every week, so she decided to make a waxy alternative.
Michelle's Beeswax Food Wraps can be used to wrap around nearly all food (aside from raw meat and pineapple) to keep fresh in the fridge or packed lunches. The wraps come in all manner of shapes and patterns and are coated in wax from a local West Sussex bee keeper.
Not only can they be used over and over again if cared for properly, they're an excellent alternative to single use plastic that's choking our oceans, and frankly, we're buzzing about it!
The company will add 10p on to the price of every plastic bottle, which you will get back if you return it. Clive said that if it was successful the scheme could be rolled out across the country in the autumn. "The aim is to understand how many bottles are returned and to see if it encourages more customers to opt for a reusable bottle." Go Brighton!
How exciting has it been to see dolphins off our coast?! But did you know that The Brighton Dolphin Project aims to inspire and engage the local community to learn about the incredible marine wildlife off the Sussex coast, and the measures we can take to protect it.
Given the fact there is a mass of plastic three times the size on France in the Pacific Ocean, it's great to be reminded that stopping the plastic madness will help the marine life too.
There are many things you can do to help too, support the businesses and movements above, or sign up to a beach clean near you on HERE.
Inspired by the hard work of Beach Guardian in Cornwall, where Nissan vehicles were used to drag really tough stuff out of the sea and sand, Nissan is now inviting teams across Europe to nominate hard to reach places that need clearing. If you want to highlight an area you know that needs clearing of plastic: use the free 'What3Words' photo app to send an image of the beach plastic they've found along with its precise location to Nissan GB at beachclean@nissan.co.uk. This allows them to GPS track the location and reach those tough places!

Updated: Nov. 1, 2017 at 02:46 p.m.
Tony Romo is the NFL's MVP halfway through this strange season. No one has done more to elevate the game or those around him than Romo, the rare sports figure everyone can support. In a year where so many of the national commercials feature players out for the long haul -- J.J. Watt, Aaron Rodgers and Odell Beckham Jr. -- no one's star has shone brighter than Romo's, in his first year serving as an analyst on CBS' NFL broadcasts after a decade-plus tenure as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
His early-season penchant for predicting plays became a bigger story than the plays he was calling. His narration of a cat running across the field Thursday night was more memorable than anything else in Baltimore's 40-0 shutout victory. Even the cartoon version of Romo inspires weekly memes.
NFL.com superstar Chris Wesseling enacted the Tony Romo Rule when going back to study games on Gamepass. Condensed versions are appropriate for every game but the Romo assignment, which deserves a full broadcast rewatch, because Chris doesn't want to miss anything.
"He's sports' first choose-your-own-adventure tour guide," Chris texted me. Watching a game with Romo is like putting on a virtual reality helmet that can put you into the mind of an NFL quarterback.
-- How new Bengals offensive coordinator Bill Lazor helped the offense by using traditional third-down pass protections on first and second down to make quarterback Andy Dalton more comfortable.
-- How Dalton was having a great game as a play-caller in the running game.
-- How Bengals tackle Jake Fisher was at fault for a protection problem that looked to the casual viewer like the fault of running back Joe Mixon, saving dummies like me from blaming Mixon on the "Around the NFL" podcast.
-- How Pittsburgh's upback called for the Steelers' fake punt in the fourth quarter on his own.
My favorite moment of the telecast came when Romo relayed a story from Ben Roethlisberger in which Big Ben once tried to soften up notorious Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict by telling Burfict, "Hey, my wife's praying for you."
"Uhhhh ... Hey, tell your wife I'm praying for YOU," Burfict responded, according to Romo, who was doing a Vontaze Burfict impression that could have gone wrong a million different ways but somehow worked, just like when Romo ad-libbed a fantastical fake conversation bit between Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown in the same game. It's almost easy to take moments like this for granted before remembering this never happens on other broadcasts.
One gets the sense Romo takes full advantage of his preshow meetings with players and does his homework, because he can wax philosophic about end-of-the-roster players. He's enthusiastic like a fan calling out a GREAT third-down conversion by Dalton that would otherwise slip under the radar, but he also isn't shy about pointing out when Dalton isn't seeing the field well, like during Cincinnati's Week 3 game against Green Bay in Lambeau Field.
Romo is the first-half MVP in part because of the time football fans spend with him. As refreshing as Deshaun Watson's emergence has been, Romo gets a national audience once or twice a week and doesn't spend any time on the sideline. The past few months have served as an introduction to this generation's John Madden, the beginning of what's going to be a long-term relationship with football fans.
In that Week 7 contest, the Bengals' defense forced a third-down stop with five minutes left to preserve a two-possession deficit. This play came well after even the most ardent Bengals fan had likely given up hope, but Romo reacted with the intensity of a quarterback who was part of many wild endings in his day, like a fan who didn't want the game to end just yet.
1) Week 7: Raiders 31, Chiefs 30. The five-play finish was unlike anything the NFL has ever seen. The rest of the game, which included Marshawn Lynch's ejection and four touchdowns of over 35 yards, was dramatic from the start. The game featured eight total lead changes and a feel of desperation from Oakland's side. The Raiders may not be good enough to make it count in the long run, but Romo and Jim Nantz's presence on a national game puts this one over the top.
2) Week 8: Seahawks 41, Texans 38. It's a bummer that so little of the country saw this game in full, with Cowboys-Redskins in the national Fox window. If you could somehow time-travel to show the tape of this game to a football fan stuck in the 1970s, the improvisational magic displayed by Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson could make his or her brain explode.
3) Week 5: Packers 35, Cowboys 31. This game is marked by a tinge of sadness in retrospect, given the broken collarbone Aaron Rodgers suffered in Week 6. But I'll never tire of watching perhaps the most talented quarterback of all time at the top of his game.
4) Week 3: Rams 41, 49ers 39. This game stood out for being an absolute surprise, a necessary jolt of life after a slow start to the season and the clearest indication that we were in a new land where the Rams are one of the most entertaining teams in football.
5) Week 3: Patriots 36, Texans 33. Sue me if all the top games happen to be shootouts. You find the low-scoring classic this season and get back to me. This was the day Deshaun Watson showed he was different from all the Texans quarterbacks who came before him. The rookie gets extra points for bringing out the best late-game heroic greatness in opponents Tom Brady and Russell Wilson.
Buffalo Bills defense: At what point is it safe to believe something special is happening here?
Under coach Sean McDermott's leadership, the Bills traded away a former Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate (cornerback Ronald Darby), a recent second-round pick (linebacker Reggie Ragland) and a $100 million defensive tackle (Marcell Dareus). They were missing two key starters from their no-name secondary on Sunday against Oakland and proceeded to pummel the Raiders, 34-14, by winning the turnover battle, 4-0. In turnover differential, Buffalo is at plus-14 on the season.
The bounces that routinely went Oakland's way last season during a string of close wins now are landing in Buffalo. But this is a defense that makes its own luck, with sound tackling and few big plays given up. McDermott deserves much of the credit for the secondary, where former Packers safety Micah Hyde added to his league-leading interception total (five) against Oakland and Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate Tre'Davious White largely shut down Raiders wideout Amari Cooper. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor and running back LeSean McCoy provide just enough big plays on a Bills offense that has been notably lacking in big mistakes despite the presence of a ragtag receiver group.
Scouting in free agency and the draft has been key, but self-scouting helped the Bills just as much. Old standbys like pass rusher Jerry Hughes and defensive tackle Kyle Williams fit perfectly in this defense. Preston Brown, who was expected to be a forgotten man this season, has been a steady presence at middle linebacker. This is a band of overachievers, and Dareus simply didn't fit. Perhaps the turnover rate is unsustainable over the long term; just ask the Raiders if magic necessarily carries over from one season to the next. But for a fan base suffering through the longest playoff drought in the four major sports, the impact having at least one season of magic should not be underestimated.
New England Patriots offense: It's crazy how consistent the Patriots' offense has been this season, despite looking completely different each week. The unit has transformed from a bombs-away unit early in the season to one that possesses the ball for long stretches to keep the leaky Patriots' defense off the field. Through it all, New England is the only team in football to gain at least 370 total yards in every game it has played this season, despite the running back rotation changing on a weekly basis and despite five new skill-position players getting significant snaps, including the team's leading rusher (Mike Gillislee) and receiver (Brandin Cooks). That's the power of Tom Brady.
Pittsburgh Steelers defense: The Steelers are the best team in the NFL because they are now the most complete. Pittsburgh entered Week 8 ranked in the top five in offense and defense in Football Outsiders' DVOA. No other team ranked in the top 10 in both.
The young talent on defense has helped lift the Steelers to No. 2 in points allowed and No. 2 in net yards-per-passing attempt allowed. They are hard to pass against because the pass rush can come from any spot on the defensive line, or from blitzing linebackers Vince Williams or Ryan Shazier. The secondary, which had so long been the organization's weakness, boasts impressive depth, with second-year safety Sean Davis, cornerback Artie Burns and surprise slot cornerback Mike Hilton taking turns making big plays. Even in a game where the Steelers allowed Detroit to go up and down the field, it was the defense that got quick pressure on Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford from a three-man pass rush on the key fourth down.
Late in Pittsburgh's Week 7 win against the Bengals, with the Heinz Field crowd roaring after another Bengals three-and-out, it occurred to me that the Steelers faithful was never entirely comfortable with the pass-first Todd Haley era of Steelers football. Having a defense that just gets you by is not the Pittsburgh way. For the first time this decade, Mike Tomlin has a defense that looks championship-ready.

Q: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f90f1f04180 I'm a newbie to swift. I'm using xcode version 8 beta 4. I'm having an error whenever I scroll through my Date Picker. I have read a very similar problem, but the answer there is not fixing my problem. Below is my code:
func textFieldDidBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
    let datePicker = UIDatePicker()
    textField.inputView = datePicker
    datePicker.addTarget(self, action: Selector("datePickerChanged:"), for: .valueChanged)
}

func datePickerChanged(sender: UIDatePicker){
    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    formatter.dateStyle = .long
    dateLog.text = formatter.string(from: sender.date)
}

when I click on my textfield the UIDatePicker is showing up just fine, but when I start to scroll through the dates, it gives me the following error:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[MyApp.ViewController datePickerChanged:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f90f1f04180'

A: Selector(String) is deprecated. You should start using the new syntax #selector.
Also, the colon at the end is not needed.
So, your code should look like this:
datePicker.addTarget(self, action: #selector(datePickerChanged),
    for: .valueChanged)

A: *

*change the Selector to #selector

*change for to forControlEvents

*change .valueChanged to .ValueChanged
datePicker.addTarget(self, action: #selector(yourClass.datePickerChanged), forControlEvents: .ValueChanged)

Eight grinding and suction robots for China
INSPECTOR SYSTEMS is ensuring improvements in the quality of the safety-relevant pipeline systems at the Chinese nuclear power stations Taishan 1 and 2.
At the Taishan site in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong two new EPR (European Pressurized Reactor) type nuclear power station blocks are currently under construction. At present the EPR is the world's most powerful type of reactor and has a nominal output of 1750 MW.
In 2012, as part of the two new nuclear power station structures INSPECTOR SYSTEMS was awarded the contract by the Taishan Nuclear Power Joint Venture Company (TNPJVC) to supply a total of eight grinding and suction robots. The TNPJVC, 30 percent of which is owned by the French power company Électricité de France (EDF) and 70 percent by the Chinese China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group (CGNPC) was so impressed by the work hitherto carried out by INSPECTOR SYSTEMS in identical new nuclear power station buildings that the collaboration is to be continued in this project.
The various grinding and suction robots have been specially designed to internally grind all safety-relevant welding seams in the pipeline system of the primary circulation and then eliminate the grinding dust.
Through the targeted grinding of the internal welding roots the quality of the pipeline is increased and the checking of the welding seams in recurring inspections is facilitated enormously. In total this involves approximately 600 welding seams in both reactor blocks to be processed during the pipeline assembly.
The pipes to be worked on in this pipeline system have an internal diameter of 86 mm to approximately 440 mm. In order to cover this diameter range INSPECTOR SYSTEMS is supplying four special grinding robots and four suction units. INSPECTOR SYSTEMS' many years of specialist competence were in demand during the developing of these grinding robots. In this sensitive circulation in particular the welding seams must meet the high standards required in terms of precision and roughness of the internal surface.
A special challenge was the design of the smallest grinding robot ever developed by INSPECTOR SYSTEMS, whereby above all the combination of required performance and small size could only be achieved with difficulty. A new grinding robot was designed specifically for this task. This robot is used in DN100 pipeline sections which have an internal diameter of 86 mm. Characteristic of this grinding robot, like all the other types, is that it can be used to travel through bends and vertical pipeline sections.
With regard to the grinding robot used in DN150 to DN200 pipeline sections, due to the constricted spatial conditions the standard grinding motor could also not be deployed. It was therefore necessary to develop a new grinding robot for this diameter range. At the same time a space-saving motor was produced for this robot. The grinding robot for the diameter range from DN250 to DN350 is equipped with a mechanically adjustable motor in order to cover the large diameter range. In addition it has the tried-and-tested structure, with a powerful grinding motor and is designed to traverse bends and to climb.
The particular difficulty in developing the grinding robot for the DN500 pipeline sections was that the robot has to be inserted through a valve.
The narrowest point of the valve only has a diameter of approximately 300 mm and the pipeline to be worked on an internal diameter of approximately 440 mm. This difference in diameter required a grinding robot design with variable telescopic cylinders for the clamping/centring unit and a stable two-stage motor.
The suction units are based on the same principle as the grinding robots. The suction tube is connected to a radial motor. This in turn is mounted on a rotation unit so that it is possible to specifically approach and provide suction at any point in the pipe. The suction units also cover a diameter range from, 86 mm to approximately 440 mm.
Two of the four grinding robots and two of the four suction units had already been delivered and brought into operation by the turn of the year. The delivery of the remaining robots is planned for the middle of this year.

On Monday, construction workers will add the final piece of the 408-foot high spire atop the new skyscraper at One World Trade Center. While the tower is still nearly a year away from its grand opening, it will officially become the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest building in the world, behind the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Abraj Al Bait Clock Tower in Mecca.
All that remains after today is to place a steel beacon on top of the spire to raise the building to it symbolic final height of 1,776 feet.
Then again, the distinction all depends on your definition of "tallest." There have been numerous debates over the years about what you should measure, where you should measure from, or if certain structures can even be called "buildings."There are different records for the "architectural top," "highest roof" and even "the highest occupied floor." Though sometimes people can't even agree on what is a "floor" is. (Officially, 1 WTC will have 104 floors, not counting the multiple basements.)
And don't get started on measuring from sea level.
Thankfully, the Burj Khalifa is so much higher than every other structure on Earth (it will still be nearly a thousand feet higher than the finished WTC) that all it's records are still safe, and there's no real debate about who is the king. For now.

I often find myself picking up candy wrappers, seforim, and the occasional napkin or fork during kiddush on Shabbos. At times, I've even, with a simple greeting of, "Good Shabbos Kodesh", picked up the ears of those that I pass in the street. I make a point to also pick up garbage in front of an inside my children's day school when I am there, as well. It is an issue of Kavod HaTorah. The Holy Hunchback, I'm not, but I try.
In Kelm the talmidim fought for the coveted position of being able to clean the Talmud Torah of Kelm and even to take out the garbage (usually a job for the oldest bochruim).
My kids know that if they are walking though shul with me and see a Dum Dum wrapper on the ground that either I'll pick it up myself or ask them to. They don't mind picking it up, because were they not there, they know that I'd be the one throwing it away.
I cannot stop people (usually kids) from carelessly throwing candy wrappers on the ground. However, I can make sure that the shul where I daven is fairly clean, if newcomers, guests, or non-observant Jews come by.

Art Museums: What Colors Are They Lacking?
A recent report finds very little diversity among art museum staff across the country. So, what's being done to change that?
| Posted on November 25, 2015, 5:00 AM (Last Updated: December 1, 2015, 10:53 AM )
Mari Carmen Ramirez, MFAH Wortham Curator of Latin American Art and Director of the International Center for Arts of the Americas, leading a tour of the new exhibition, "Contingent Beauty."
Mari Carmen Ramirez is leading a small group through the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's newest exhibit, Contingent Beauty. She's been with the museum for fifteen years as curator of Latin American art. Before that, she spent over a decade in Austin at the Blanton Museum of Art. "They were the first to open up a position for a curator of Latin American art and to hire a Latina, in this case me, to occupy that position," Ramirez said in an interview prior to the tour.
As a native of Puerto Rico, Ramirez's family was supportive of her decision to study art. She spent her undergrad years at the University of Puerto Rico before going to grad school at the University of Chicago. She's known internationally in the museum circuit, but she falls into a small group of a different sort: Art museum curators who are NOT white.
Earlier this year, the Mellon Foundation released a report on the diversity of art museum staff in the U.S. Of the nearly 900 museums surveyed, 84 percent of the leadership positions (such as directors and curators) were non-Hispanic white. At the MFAH, it's about 68 percent.
So when an art museum — considered to be the cultural pillar of a community — is not reflective of its population, is that a concern? And what can be done to change it?
"And when we ask that question, you have to say, 'Well how would we know?" says Mariet Westermann, Vice President of the Mellon Foundation. "We can't just have only a bunch of focus groups. Maybe we need to have more people on the inside, who can represent this wonderful plentitude of American society. "
Westermann adds that diversifying the staff is essential. As the nation's demographics continue to transform, art museums realize that part of their survival relies on staying relevant to the changing population.
So, the foundation decided to try something new. They established an incubator program to enlist college students of historically under-represented races to come to work in the curatorial environment. They're trying it with five major metropolitan museums around the country and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is one of them.
Rice University art history major Jennifer Cernada is the first student to take part in the Mellon's Curatorial program with the MFAH, under the mentorship of Ramirez. When Cernada, the daughter of immigrants from the Dominican Republic and Colombia, told her parents she wanted to pursue a career in the arts, they weren't thrilled.
"Then when I got this fellowship, they started taking it a little more seriously," Cernada says. "I was like, 'I assure you, Mari Carmen Ramirez is an important person. And she's Puerto Rican.' And they were like, 'Oh, she's Puerto Rican?'"
What are the reasons for the lack of diversity in these "intellectual" positions, as they're called? Unlike Ramirez's family, who encouraged her to pursue her passion, other parents don't see a career in the arts as one that'll pay the bills. The positions often involve getting a Master's or Doctorate degree, which is expensive.
The roots can also be societal and historical. For years, art museums have been associated with the European culture. In other words, white people. "There was a sense perhaps that museums weren't really for everyone in America, or for every group that was not already from that European (or white) descent," she says.
Back at the MFAH, Ramirez is describing a work by Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca. He's assembled about 20 miniature mattresses and painted what look like road maps on their tops. Ramirez is explaining the message being conveyed is on the issue of borders… and tearing them down.
In many ways, change requires erasing the lines that divide us.
"We are in an extremely interconnected global world," Ramirez says. "I mean, the frontiers are collapsing in many places."
On a local level, the hopes are to ensure that the audiences reflect the diversity of Houston's population.

What the Bible say about money?
There are more than 2000 verses in the Bible that talks about money and possession. Three times more than love.
It only means that God value money because it does two things – It can steal us from his loving arms or draw us closer to him.
She literally means money is dirty and rich people are greedy.
Ano ang "IN" ngayong 2019? Ano kayang PLATFORM ang papatok?
Anong STRATEGIES kaya ang KIKINANG ngayong 2019.
A Digital Entrepreneur should knew how to spot what's "IN" and what's "OUT"..
But in my own opinion, Huwag kang makiuso. "Oy, friend uso ngayon ang Pagtititinda ng damit online, Magtinda nga rin tayo para naman magkapera. At dahil uso, lahat ng friends mo at mga kaibigan nila nagtinda na rin online. Sa sobrang dami, nagpababaan na kayo ng presyo mabentahan lang, hanggang sa wala nang kinikita. Pagkatapos ng isang taon, tumigil na lahat.
Mastering the Art of Selling is I think the most important skill to develop.
Ano ba Dapat? Develop your Passion and Skills. Develop the skills that can provide value and money. Develop people skills, the negotiation skills, the art of selling and closing sale dahil andun ang malalaking pera.
Ang mga mayayamang tao, magagaling silang sales at marketers. Hindi sila tumitigil mag-aral.
They never stop Reading, Researching And Innovating.
My eldest son turned 7 last November 29 but the celebration was held last December 3. All of his birthdays are equally important but his 7th birthday marked the most important for the reason only me and my husband understand. Seventh birthday is also special as per culture and tradition in Batangas.
There are unusual ways of celebrating a 7th birthday here in Batangas. First, seventh and 21st considered the most important birthdays for boys. First, Seven and 18th for girl celebrants.
I never Celebrated my birthday when I was young because my parents cannot afford even a simple cake. Kaya gusto kong i-celebrate ang birthday ng anak ko dahil gusto ko i-treasure nila ang kanilang birthday dahil regalo ito ng Diyos.
Hindi naman ako nanghinanakit that we grew poor, in fact parang grateful ako dahil natutunan kong i-treasure ang mga bagay na mayroon ako ngayon.
We chose a Royal Theme Celebration. Part of the entourage and program are : 7 Balloons, 7 Gifts, 7 Bills, 7 Toy Guns, 7 Animal Toys ( depend on the birthday celebrant Favorite), 7 T-Shirts, 7 Kid's Shorts, 7 Wishes given by Liam's 7 Princesses and little Princesses.
Thank you for being with us, your presence matters..
Everyday thousands of Filipinos leave their homeland to work abroad to seek for a greener pasture. They left their husbands and wives, children, their jobs and their positions for greater opportunities. The number one reason is the lack of opportunities in the country. Unemployment and underemployment are so high that the government cannot sustain all the jobs needed for its citizens.
But why are so many overseas workers after spending years of working abroad went home a failure? They are back to zero again? Why did they fail?
They abused their salaries, buying things that don't value much.
They were abused by their employers.
They believed that it's okay to splurge. It's okay to celebrate once in a while.
Their friends are bad influence; their past time is going to the bar.
I am once an OFW but failed due to some of the above reasons. "Money"- if you don't take care of it, it will eventually fade away. It will go to the one who knew how to handle it.
"SALES" a LIFEBLOOD of business! No business will stand without it.
Another powerful inspiration created and compiled by my favorite You Tuber Evan Carmichael, It came from top entrepreneurs of the Land.
You should not only visionary, you should also possess the ability the sell your vision to other people, to inspire and to motivate them.
You need to be able to sell, whether it'll be kick starter, local newspaper – you need to be able to communicate effectively.
The best entrepreneurs are all good communicators – exceptional communicators. Practice is the only way to get better in communicating.
Focus on honing your skills in writing and take time to study good direct response ads.
If you bought something, record everything, the reason why you bought that product.
Everything that works on sale was done already; you don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Here are my top 9 behaviors that prevent success inspired by Tristan Loo.
Success will come if you change your mindset. Mindset is how you think about money or possession. Positive thinkers succeed more than the one who thinks negatively about themselves. Your thoughts can create power. Don't feed your mind with negative Affirmations.
I read this article many years ago, it was written by Tristan Loo. It inspired and motivated me a lot. Inspirational articles, videos and books are treasures you must value. It is more important than your material possessions.
Top 10 online business ideas you can start tomorrow!
Online or Digital business they say, is the best business for the next generation..
People requires a killer resume written in professional way.
I was born and grew up in the province of Benguet but stayed permanently here in Batangas because our business is here. I also love the good weather, Hindi gaanong mainit hindi rin gaanong malamig, kumbaga eksakto lang.
And I say, Batangas is one of the provinces that still practice old traditions and culture. There are lots of beliefs that people here practice.
We lived in a community full of traditions, almost everybody believes in superstitious beliefs. I am very uncomfortable because my parents never taught us any of these, maybe because my mother is a Christian.
But I respect other's belief and culture, iyon kasi ang pinapaniwalaan nila. At naniniwala ako na kung ano ang pinapaniwalaan mo nagkakatotoo sa iyo. Kaya minsan nag-iingat di ako sa mga pinapaniwalaan ko.
WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE-UP, PROVE THEM WRONG!
The most powerful you have is your mind. That's why the enemy attack attack you in your mind.
Give me new mind means give me a new perspective.
Don't shape yourself around the callings of the world.
Don't shape your opinions and your attitudes around the circumstances you cannot change.
The number one thing that prevent us to act is the fear of failure. Never let it hinder the promise that God has for you.
Some of us don't act because we want other's approval. We want everybody to like and accept us.
We are settling for something we don't actually deserve.
You have to ask yourself. What do you really want? Don't wait for the things to be perfect. Never wait for a perfect situation – it will never be ideal.
Many people will leave the universe without a trace, nobody knew they were here. Don't be like them.
LEAVE A MARK ON THIS WORLD.
You don't need anyone to approve your dream. It was given to you and not given to them.
When you have determination and you know you're doing it right, and it gives meaning to you – keep moving forward!
You got to run after your destiny. Success is never an accident. If you want it – you have to do something. RUN AFTER IT.
The choices we have in life is either GIVE-UP or KEEP ON GOING! CHOOSE!
You have to believe in yourself, not in others opinion of you.
Start acting as if it is your last day on earth so you can treasure every second of your life.
Don't spend your life fixing what's behind you because you cannot change it.
You have to RUN….RUN…RUN… and go after your dreams.
The reason why you are not successful is because every single day, you have an excuse.
Starting today, promise yourself that yesterday was the last day you'll procrastinate.
NOTHING GREAT IS EVER ACHIEVED WITH MUCH ENDURING.

Q: Performing function to see if JSON file includes specific strings My local JSON file contains documents (ending in .docx, .pdf, etc). I have a table that's rendering those documents and I want to be able to render the text '.docx' (and what not) into a separate column, with each text string corresponding to a document. The end goal is to replace the texts with their respective icons, i.e. a MS Word one for .docx.
So far I have an .includes('docx' || 'DOCX' || 'pptx') method that correctly shows the values as true and false in the table's column:

|true||Example.docx|
|false||Other.popx|

How can I include a loop (or something else) in the code I have to display the texts of 'docx', 'pptx', etc. instead of true and false?
Loading doc title data:
loadTableData() {
    $.noConflict();
    let tableRes = KMdocs.d.results.filter(function(val) {
      return (val.FileLeafRef.trim().length > 0);
    }).map(function(obj) {
      return {
        "Path": obj.EncodedAbsUrl,
        "Titles": obj.File.Name,
        "Categories": obj.ResourceType.results.map(function(val) {
          return val.Label;
        }).join(";"),
        "Blank": "",
        "docImg": obj.File.Name.includes('docx' || 'DOCX' || 'pptx')
        // ----- this is where I'd like to include the code
      }
    })

Rendering table data:
$('#km-table-id').DataTable( {
      columns: [
        // { data: "Blank" },
        { data: "Categories" }, // hidden
        { data: "docImg" },
        { data: "Titles" } // must be in last position to respond w/ checkboxes
      ],
      columnDefs: [
...etc

A: This will filter for docx and pptx and then return the value if it's provided
function documentType(fileName) {
  return [fileName].filter(function(filter) {
    return filter.toLowerCase().includes('docx') || filter.toLowerCase().includes('pptx')
  }).map(function(filename) {
    //Get File Extension
    return filename.split('.').pop();
  }).pop();
}

Usage would be:
"docImg": documentType(obj.File.Name)

Operations Officers begin their careers spending one to two years learning the foundations of clandestine operational tradecraft via classroom training, practical exercises, and on-the-job experience gained through a series of interim assignments. Following successful completion of the foundational training, each DO officer will transition into advanced training activity to prepare them to serve effectively in their respective career occupational specialty.
This position requires a 5-year Contract Term Agreement. Learn more about the Contract Term Agreement.
