Work / life week is the perfect time to restore the balance!
It's National Work Life Balance Week and the perfect chance to reassess your health, happiness and pace of life. The awareness event by Working Families is an excellent opportunity for staff and employers to focus on wellbeing at work, promote flexible working policies and enable the workforce to feel refreshed and recharged to face the day ahead.
Research by Working Families to mark Go Home on Time Day in June found that many parents struggle to spend time with their partner and children. One in 10 parents in the UK spends longer at work every day than they are contracted to, while more than four in 10 put in extra hours at home in the evenings or on weekends 'all the time or often'. One parent in 10 spends less than an hour in total with their family on a working day, while work stops two in five regularly putting their children to bed.
With NHS statistics showing that 40% of workplace illnesses are related to stress, it's clear that having the wrong work life balance can lead to significant implications for staff and business owners. Healthy Working Wales, a joint programme by the Welsh Government, Public Health Wales and Cardiff University, promotes wellbeing and a good work life balance. This enables employees to return to and remain in work, as well as reducing the costs to business associated with absenteeism, a high staff turnover and low productivity.
Regular exercise improves mood as well as physical wellbeing, but how many of us think we 'don't have time' within our busy working day? You don't have to sign up for a half marathon but getting out at lunchtime for a 20-minute walk or parking further from your workplace and walking the rest can do wonders for your mindset - not to mention productivity!
Switch off outside working hours. We've been conditioned to think our phones and tablets enhance our lives, but they can deplete our time and energy. In the evening and at weekends, set aside downtime to unplug and resist the urge to constantly check work emails. Remind yourself it's ok to be unavailable!
Don't fill every hour of the day. It's easy to say 'yes' to social commitments, especially those after-work events, but get into the habit of keeping some blank spaces in your diary each week to do 'nothing' - whether on your own or relaxing with family.
Learn to be 'good enough' at both home and work. Delegating means you're efficient, not incapable, and frees up your time for the tasks you do best. At home, encouraging even small children to help with simple chores frees you up all the quicker for that essential board game or bedtime story!
As the UK's leading health insurance comparison website, we've got plenty of wellbeing tips, such as boosting your mental health. And, of course, if you're the boss, it's your job to ensure your employees are happy and healthy - which is where company health insurance can bring benefits all round!
National Work Life Week runs from October 2-6, with a 'flexible working' day on Friday 6. Follow @workingfamUK on Twitter and the #WorkLifeWeek and #flexibleworking hashtags to learn more.

Steve Hanawalt is one of the founders of Power Factors and an expert on solar performance analytics. Power Factors provides a real-time asset performance management software platform called Drive for the renewable power industry.
In a previous article, we asked Steve to cover how utilizing solar performance analytics can reduce costs and improve productivity at SCADA plants. Now, he shares his expertise on revenue boosting analytics for DAS.
1. How can DAS applications utilize Power Factors' Drive asset performance management software?
Drive is an intelligent overlay that sits on top of the DAS plant communications layer to enhance DAS monitoring and alarming. Because Drive has a historical record of all the alarms that have ever fired against an asset and all the maintenance performed, it has a richer data set from which to understand the root causes of asset failure.
Let's take as an example a forced inverter outage. The DAS notifies the operator of the outage with a specific ground fault error code. Drive can see that the same fault has occurred three times in the past six months. Not only that, it always occurs during a rainfall event at the plant.
Drive's knowledge base can make that connection between the specific failure mode and rain events. The operator can then send out a field tech to find the problem, armed with specific information to inform the troubleshooting process. They discover that one of the conductors that connects the inverter to the modules has a failed insulator, so rain can trickle down into the ground and trip the inverter offline. Instead of just resetting the inverter over and over again, the operator can fix the root problem, improving inverter uptime.
This would be difficult for the operator to figure out from the DAS alarms alone. Drive provides a much richer set of data from which to do a root cause analysis and improve plant production.
2. How do Owners and Operators use Power Factor's Drive software to monitor DAS data? What is the data used for? Does the software provide for any other capabilities (ex. alarm notification) aside from analytics?
Since Drive has visibility into all of the DAS data monitoring points and alarms, it not only can monitor them but can also add value through the implementation of intelligent events. In general, an event is a business or engineering rule that is triggered when an abnormal condition is present in the solar PV plant. The event engine is the rule-based tool that throws off a notification/alarm when the trigger threshold is reached.
Let's look at our inverter failure example again. When the forced outage alarm comes from the DAS, Drive captures this event data and auto-categorizes it using an international failure classification standard. Drive's additional data layer transforms just another alarm coming from the DAS into a whole set of operating and business metrics, such as:
Technical availability of the asset
Forced outage rate
Meantime between failures
Contract availability factor
This is rich and comprehensive information, not just data, that can be used to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency.
Solar plants also have what we call very "noisy" data. Without data curation—cleansing and validating the data before it goes into the event engine—the engine throws off a bunch of what statisticians call false positives. Operators call them nuisance alarms.
Drive's data curation and validation engine uses sophisticated rules to qualify the alerts coming from the DAS to make sure they're valid. This means the quality and integrity of the alarms are much higher. In our inverter example, both the DAS and Drive can signal an outage, but Drive can look at the totality of all the plant data and calculate if the alarm is a true alert that requires action.
Lastly, Drive can generate production and performance reports from the curated data, using a rich set of analytics as well as integration with the field service management module. Drive can look at all of the physical maintenance that's been performed against site assets with a whole set of work orders, failure codes, action codes and cause codes. This reporting gives operators and engineers deeper insights into the root causes of equipment failure, thereby improving system uptime and revenue.
3. Which of Drive's analytics boost revenue for DAS applications, and how do they do that?
Typical solar power installations do not have sensors installed in the DC array even though the majority of PV performance losses occur in this part of the power plant equipment.
Why? Because the cost of instrumenting the plant at this scale is not considered economical for solar PV plants, and because monitoring systems have historically not been able to consume and process so much data. The sheer volume and velocity of data coming in is too much for them to handle.
Drive's advanced analytics software module is able to solve this problem using digital twin performance signatures. This technology can identify specific failure modes in the DC array using normally instrumented data from the DAS. Drive can detect DC performance problems like stuck trackers, blown fuses, shading and module soiling without the need for additional plant hardware or software. As a result, we estimate the typical project will see an improvement in equipment uptime and performance resulting in a 1-3% plant revenue upside.
4. How does being cloud-based boost revenue for DAS applications using Drive?
There are many benefits of hosting a software application in the cloud, but perhaps the most important is that additional computing resources can be spooled up automatically without a loss of connection to the plant or negative impacts to computing performance. The intrinsic extensibility of cloud computing means that large processing tasks, like DC performance analytic processing, can be essentially run in real-time to improve the detection of transient performance losses.
For example, Drive can detect the occurrence of sub-interval curtailment of plant equipment. Sub-interval curtailment is usually "hidden" from traditional monitoring systems because their sampling frequency is so coarse that short interval equipment derates are not visible to the plant operator. Little performance losses go undetected, chipping away at optimal plant revenue. As the saying goes, "you cannot correct what you don't see." Drive allows you to see these previously invisible losses so you can recover them.
5. How can Drive help with solar portfolio optimization?
Having a local plant DAS is necessary and very important. But when you put an intelligent monitoring layer on top of it, you can not only see that plant, but all of the plants in the totality of your operation. You can make more intelligent and optimal operating decisions because you're doing what's called portfolio optimization of the plants, not just plant level optimization. It's known in the power industry that when you optimize the operation of all generating units or plants at one time, you have much higher revenue and return on investment than doing each as an isolated individual plant. That becomes a very powerful way of operating your facility.
That's why we at Power Factors see our partnership with Nor-Cal as a truly symbiotic relationship—one where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Nor-Cal's DAS systems and our Drive software together create asset performance management platforms that improve productivity and reduce operational costs.

Q: Run jQuery on change and page load I want to run jQuery when select element change and when page load.
In this web page I have two table which user can move row from tbl1 to table2 using jQuery and every thing work fine but when I run the jQuery when select change and page load I can not move row from one table to another
this is the code which I wish to run when page load and select is change
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $('#Groups').change(function () {

// show that something is loading
//$('#result').html('<img src="images/ajax_loader_red_128.gif"/>')

            var jtarih = $('#Groups').val();

//  alert(jtarih);
//var jadsoyad=$('#adsoyad').val();

            /*
             * 'post_receiver.php' - where you will pass the form data
             * $(this).serialize() - to easily read form data
             * function(data){... - data contains the response from post_receiver.php
             */

            $.post('groupuser.php', {id: jtarih, tarih: jtarih}, function (data) {
                $('#dive').html(data);

// show the response
//    $('#dive').replaceWith(html(data));

            }).fail(function (data) {

// just in case posting your form failed
                $('#dive').html(data);

            });

// to prevent refreshing the whole page page
            return false;

        });
        $('#Groups').trigger('change');
    });
</script>

This is the JavaScript code which move row from one table to another in this code every thing go fine but when I run the above JavaScript code onload page this code not working
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#product-table2 img.move-row").live("click", function () {
            var tr = $(this).closest("tr").remove().clone();
            tr.find("img.move-row")
                    .attr("src", "images/arrow.png")
                    .attr("alt", "Move");
            $("#product-table tbody").append(tr);
        });

        $("#product-table img.move-row").live("click", function () {
            var tr = $(this).closest("tr").remove().clone();
            tr.find("img.move-row")
                    .attr("src", "images/leftarrow.png")
                    .attr("alt", "Remove");
            $("#product-table2  tbody").append(tr);
        });
    });

</script>

A: you are adding that code in the onload function, which means that by completing the page load it will stop working. You should leave the function off, and call it also inside the onload.
<script>
   $(document).ready(function (){
   mover_fila();
   });

   mover_fila();

   function mover_fila(){
       $('#Groups').change(function () {
           var jtarih = $('#Groups').val();

           $.post('groupuser.php', {id: jtarih, tarih: jtarih}, function (data) {
           $('#dive').html(data);

       }).fail(function (data) {
       $('#dive').html(data);
   });

   return false;

   });
   $('#Groups').trigger('change');
}
</script>

This is the second code, check its functionality with your html. In theory it should work if you remove your code from the onload function.
<script>
   $(document).ready(function (){
      mover_otra_fila();
   });

   mover_otra_fila();

   function mover_otra_fila(){
       $("#product-table2 img.move-row").live("click", function () {
           var tr = $(this).closest("tr").remove().clone();
           tr.find("img.move-row")
                   .attr("src", "images/arrow.png")
                   .attr("alt", "Move");
           $("#product-table tbody").append(tr);
       });

       $("#product-table img.move-row").live("click", function () {
           var tr = $(this).closest("tr").remove().clone();
           tr.find("img.move-row")
                   .attr("src", "images/leftarrow.png")
                   .attr("alt", "Remove");
           $("#product-table2  tbody").append(tr);
       });
   }
</script>

Good luck, I hope it's useful.

A: If your element is loaded by Post method you can try to use document.on(). Because your element is not in DOM on load page
$(document).ready(function () {
    $(document).on("click", "#product-table2 img.move-row", function () {
        var tr = $(this).closest("tr").remove().clone();
        tr.find("img.move-row")
                .attr("src", "images/arrow.png")
                .attr("alt", "Move");
        $("#product-table tbody").append(tr);
    });

    $(document).on("click", "#product-table img.move-row", function () {
        var tr = $(this).closest("tr").remove().clone();
        tr.find("img.move-row")
                .attr("src", "images/leftarrow.png")
                .attr("alt", "Remove");
        $("#product-table2  tbody").append(tr);
    });
});

Q: A const list in C# I would like to create a list in C# that after its creation I won't be able to add or remove items from it. For example, I will create the list;
List<int> lst = a;

(a is an existing list), but after I won't be able to write the code (it will mark it as an error):
lst.Add(2);

A: You need a ReadonlyCollection.  You can create one from a list by calling List.AsReadOnly()
Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms132474.aspx

A: Why not just use an IEnumerable?
IEnumerable<string> myList = new List<string> { "value1", "value2" };

A: I recommend using a System.Collections.Immutable.ImmutableList<T> instance but referenced by a variable or property of type System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<T>. If you just use a naked immutable list, you won't get errors for adding to it, as you desire.
System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList<int> list = a.ToImmutableList();

A: .NET supports truly immutable collections, read-only views of mutable collections, and read-only interfaces implemented by mutable collections.

One such immutable collection is ImmutableArray<> which you can create as a.ToImmutableArray() in your example. Make sure to take a look at the other options MSDN lists because you may be better served by a different immutable collection.  If you want to make copies of the original sequence with slight modifications, ImmutableList<> might be faster, for instance (the array is cheaper to create and access, though).  Note that a.Add(...); is valid, but returns a new collection rather than changing a.  If you have resharper, that will warn you if you ignore the return value of a pure method like Add (and there may be a roslyn extension to do something similar I'm unaware of).  If you're going this route - consider skipping List<> entirely and going straight to immutable collections.
Read-only views of mutable collections are a little less safe but supported on older versions of .NET.  The wrapping type is called ReadOnlyCollection<>, which in your example you might construct as a.AsReadOnly().  This collection does not guarantee immutability; it only guarrantees you can't change it.  Some other bit of code that shares a reference to the underlying List<> can still change it.  Also, ReadOnlyCollection also imposes some additional overhead; so you may not be winning much by avoiding immutable collections for performance reasons (TODO: benchmark this claim).  You can use a read-only wrapper such as this even in a public API safely - there's no (non-reflection) way of getting the underlying list.  However, since it's often no faster than immutable collections, and it's also not entirely safe, I recommend to avoid ReadOnlyCollection<> - I never use this anymore, personally.
Read-only interfaces implemented by mutable collections are even further down the scale of safety, but fast.  You can simply cast List<> as IReadOnlyList<>, which you might do in your example as IReadOnlyList<int> lst = a.  This is my preferences for internal code - you still get static type safety, you're simply not protected from malicious code or code that uses type-checks and casts unwisely (but those are avoidable via code-reviews in my experience).  I've never been bitten by this choice, but it is less safe than the above two options.  On the upside, it incurs no allocations and is faster.  If you commonly do this, you may want to define an extension method to do the upcast for you (casts can be unsafe in C# because they not only do safe upcasts, but possibly failing downcasts, and user-defined conversions - so it's a good idea to avoid explicit casts wherever you can).
Note that in all cases, only the sequence itself is read-only.  Underlying objects aren't affected (e.g. an int or string are immutable, but more complicated objects may or may not be).

TL;DR:

*

*For safety: Use a.ToImmutableArray() to create an immutable copy in an ImmutableArray<int>.

*For performance: Use IReadOnlyList<int> to help prevent accidental mutation in internal code with minimal performance overhead.  Be aware that somebody can cast it back to List<> (don't do that), making this less "safe" for a public api.

*Avoid a.AsReadOnly() which creates a ReadOnlyCollection<int> unless you're working on a legacy code base that doesn't support the newer alternatives, or if you really know what you're doing and have special needs (e.g. really do want to mutate the list elsewhere and have a read-only view).

A: As an alternative to the already posted answers, you can wrap a readonly regular List<T> into an object that exposes it as IReadOnlyList.
class ROList<T>
{
    public ROList(IEnumerable<T> argEnumerable)
    {
        m_list = new List<T>(argEnumerable);
    }

    private readonly List<T> m_list;
    public IReadOnlyList<T> List { get { return m_list; } }
}

void Main()
{
    var list = new  List<int> {1, 2, 3};
    var rolist = new ROList<int>(list);

    foreach(var i in rolist.List)
        Console.WriteLine(i);

    //rolist.List.Add(4); // Uncomment this and it won't compile: Add() is not allowed
}

A: Your best bet here is to use an IReadOnlyList<int>.
The advantage of using IReadOnlyList<int> compared to List.AsReadOnly() is that a ReadOnlyCollection<T> can be assigned to an IList<T>, which can then be accessed via a writable indexer.
Example to clarify:
var original = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };
IReadOnlyList<int> readOnlyList = original;

Console.WriteLine(readOnlyList[0]); // Compiles.

readOnlyList[0] = 0; // Does not compile.

var readOnlyCollection = original.AsReadOnly();

readOnlyCollection[0] = 1; // Does not compile.

IList<int> collection = readOnlyCollection; // Compiles.

collection[0] = 1; // Compiles, but throws runtime exception.

Using an IReadOnlyList<int> avoids the possibility of accidentally passing the read-only list to a method which accepts an IList<> and which then tries to change an element - which would result in a runtime exception.

A: It could be IReadOnlyList<int>, e.g.
  IReadOnlyList<int> lst = a;

So the initial list (a) is mutable while lst is not. Often we use IReadOnlyList<T> for public properties and IList<T> for private ones, e.g.
  public class MyClass {
    // class itself can modify m_MyList
    private IList<int> m_MyList = new List{1, 2, 3};

    ...
    // ... while code outside can't
    public IReadOnlyList<int> MyList {
      get {
        return m_MyList;
      }
    }
  }

A: Why not just:
readonly IEnumerable<int> lst = new List<int>() { a }

A: You can use ImmutableList<T> / ImmutableArray<T> from System.Collections.Immutable NuGet:
var immutable = ImmutableList<int>.Create(1, 2, 3);

Or using the ToImmutableList extension method:
var immutable = mutableList.ToImmutableList();

In-case Add is invoked, *a new copy * is returned and doesn't modify the original list. This won't cause a compile time error though.


When the winds of change blow some people build walls, others build windmills. Real proof of the windmill philosophy is that Mahindra commissioned a powerful new brand campaign, which shows that it is serious about further growing sales in the bakkie and crossover markets in South Africa.
Working in partnership with the award-winning agency, Joe Public, and drawing inspiration from its first 14 years in South Africa, this brand campaign authentically portrays the life and business attitude of the people who work for the brand, the people who choose to drive the brand and the brand itself.
"When we established ourselves in South Africa in 2004, we quickly gained a foothold in the market by delivering reliable, affordable and hard-working pick-ups and SUVs. Over time, we saw our customers' relationship with their Mahindra vehicles evolve from one based on value only, to one in which their Mahindra became an extension of their way of looking at life," says Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa.
Gupta's views are echoed by Gareth Leck, the CEO of Joe Public: "As an agency that exists for growth of our people, our clients and country, it has been a great honour and privilege to have partnered with Mahindra in its growth journey over the last 14 years. We are very excited to launch the new campaign that we believe will play a key role in delivering on Mahindra South Africa's 'right to win' strategy."
Gupta goes on to define the common thread among Mahindra "people" as their burning desire to be independent, to not care about what others say about them, their desire to succeed against all odds and to achieve their full potential. The Mahindra driver and the Mahindra vehicle literally fit hand in glove. "Mahindra people make their own rules and forge their own paths!" he observed.
"I feel fortunate to see the very same challenger grit in our dealers and personnel at Mahindra South Africa. I find it interesting that our team is more inwardly than outwardly focused. Beating past performances is more motivating than being distracted by the often quite volatile shifts in the market, and it's illuminating that this discipline has led to being ranked as one of the five fastest growing brands in South Africa."
With the new brand campaign, Mahindra authentically celebrates South Africans who are #AlwaysUpForAChallenge.
The campaign comprising two commercials (unusual in itself) was launched at the introduction of Mahindra's beautifully styled and surprisingly well appointed Stylish New XUV500 and New KUV100 NXT in Johannesburg on 10 October 2018.
One commercial focuses on the iconic Pik Up and features an intrepid South African owner saving and falling in love with a baby lamb, in a clever, slightly funny montage that shows the bakkie performing in its natural territory and dramatises the grit and determination of the Mahindra driver.
The second commercial pits a "much in love" couple against each other in their particular SUVs in a challenge to buy a litre of milk. Again it cleverly features two cars and two owners in a real life challenge, even if 'No Milk' is a metaphor for their lives.
"With our two new commercials, we are transferring the very emotional connections we feel for our Mahindra fans and their very real relationships with their Mahindra bakkies and SUVs on to film. We trust that these emotional connections resonate with South Africans. We are now firmly invested in South Africa and in the lives of its people," says Gupta.

Reverberations from yesterday's incident off the coast of Guyana, which involved a Venezuelan navy frigate and an ExxonMobil oil exploration ship. Today, the governments of Venezuela, Guyana and the United States all issued statements on the event.
Yesterday, a Venezuelan navy vessel "approached" an ExxonMobil vessel off the coast of Guyana yesterday, forcing the ship to halt operations and sail eastwards away from the area. The ship is called Ramform Tethys, and was hired by ExxonMobil to conduct a "seismic survey" in the oil-rich waters.
According to ABC News, the Venezuelan vessel "did not board the ship", and that the vessel had "all required permits" to operate under the authority of Guyana.
Venezuela and Guyana have a centuries-old border dispute with Guyana over the Essequibo region, which is located in the western part of Venezuela. That dispute also involves the region's coastal waters, with both sides claiming and operating under different border understandings.
The Maduro regime reacted to the event today by claiming that Ramform Tethys was in Venezuelan waters when it was approached by its ship.
In light of the flagrant violation of our sovereignty by oil exploration ships hired by Guyana, the [armed forces] proceeded to employ the corresponding protocols under strict rigor and adherence to international agreements and treaties.
It is important to point out that in the communication exchange that the captains of the exploration ships argued that they had a permit from the government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana to operate in that maritime area. They were then informed that that country does not have jurisdiction over the maritime projection of the Orinoco Delta, which is why they [the ExxonMobil ship] lifted its anchor and headed towards the extensive disputed zone that is off the Esequiba coast.
The government of Guyana called the Venezuelan response "aggressive", "illegal", and "hostile", and said that it would take the matter to the United Nations. The statement came from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge.
According to Greenidge, Ramform Tethys was "in Guyanese waters" when it was approached by the Venezuelan vessel at 10:30 AM local time. He also said that the ship has a crew of 70 people.
Robert Palladino, the deputy spokesperson for the for the U.S. Department of State, issued a statement on his Twitter account on the event. In the statement, Palladino sided with Guyana in the dispute, and called on Venezuela to respect its neighbour's sovereignty.
We call on #Venezuela to respect international law and the sovereignty of its neighbors.

Ministry brands Maldives claimsglow bands online "ridiculous"
Are Music Festivals For Me? Billy Draws Two consists of Billy Horn 25 (Niagara Falls, N.Y.) , lead vocals, guitar, harmonica and songwriter, Doug Krell, 26, (Youngstown, N.Y.), rhythm guitar, backing vocals and bass, Rosie Lorentti, 20, (Lewiston, N.Y.), bass and backing vocals and piano and Chris McClellen, 23, (Buffalo, N.Y.), drums. Off Broadway is one of the few St. Louis music venues that attracts indie rock and punk bands that are up and coming, but that aren"t completely obscure. A perfect example is the brand new psychedelic folk group Here We Go Magic, which played a beautiful set at Off Broadway a couple weeks ago. The band had stopped in St. Louis on it"s way to the festival wristbands, where they played a ton of shows that got pretty impressive reviews. And the gun slingin", whiskey guzzlin" indie rockers Murder By Death are scheduled to play at Off Broadway in May - it"s bound to be a more appropriate atmosphere than if the group performed at the Pageant to the tune of $5 Budweisers. What if another 9/11 event wristbands occurs? Will it be said it happened on Obama"s watch? Will he be blamed for things out of his control? What if President Obama follows UN direction and uses force in Darfur, or Somalia? Only time will tell, my friends. You sport wristbands can place as many raffle boxes out as you would like. Check with your local shops, florist, salons and any where else you may have, to see if you can leave a raffle box there for their customers. A more conservative but nonetheless fun party outfit is bohemian. Bohemian is a hippy culture that has been around for a long time but one that has not lost its touch among lovers of rock music and live bands. In bohemian outfits, people wear vests, sandals, and clothing with patchworks. This type of clothing is not difficult to find because of its popularity. Whether one is having a nice time enjoying rock bands in Paris or in the US, the bohemian is an attractive party outfit. Start. I"m a big fan of starting. If you"re debating with yourself whether to exercise or not, just start. Make a deal with yourself that you can call it quits after 10 or 15 minutes (of true-blue effort) if you really, really can"t stand it. By then, your happy brain hormones should have kicked in and you"re half way to conquering the world. You"re good-go-go.

Mohamed Nasheed, who served as president from 2008 to 2012, has accused China of taking control of 17 islands in the Maldives, Times of India reported on Saturday.
He said he will seek an international convention against what he called a land grab and will force China to sign it if he is returned to power.
Nasheed"s remarks, which echoed those he made last week, are "pure fabrication" and "ridiculous", Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Tuesday.
"I need to remind Mr Nasheed that it is ultimately up to people in the two countries to judge and say whether China-Maldives cooperation is in line with both sides" interests and whether it has benefited them and their people," he said.
Geng added that the cooperation will not be denigrated by "some individuals" one-sided remarks".
In an article penned by Nasheed and published in The Indian Express on Feb 7, the former president said he fears "the Maldives is being sold off to China".
At a briefing the following day, Geng dismissed the claim as "absolute nonsense". Cooperation between China and the Maldives is being carried out in the spirit of mutual respect and equality, and has played a positive role in helping the Maldives upgrade its economy and improve people"s lives, he said.
"When Mr Nasheed was president, China also offered assistance to and conducted practical cooperation with his country, which led to enormous outcomes. Would Mr Nasheed call that a "grab" as well?" the spokesman said.
China"s assistance comes with no political strings and in no way impairs the sovereignty or independence of the Maldives, not to mention security in the Indian Ocean, Geng said on Thursday.
The Maldives, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, descended into crisis on Feb 1 when its Supreme Court ordered the release of several jailed politicians and quashed a conviction against Nasheed, who lives in self-imposed exile. That decision was overturned on Feb 6.
China has been following the situation closely and said it believes the dispute is the Maldives" internal affairs and should be solved through dialogue between the parties involved.

I later met officer in room 314 who confirmed the order to seal acting on a verbal complaint by my neighbour the PS physical planning, Mrs Ajayi.
Environment ministry officials visited my residence on a verification of 'verbal' complaints by my neighbour PS Arc Ajayi. These officials arrived at dawn …630am! Which was a visit after the deed was done!
My Lawyer petitioned the governor over illegal invasion and seal off, oppression, intimidation as well as accusation of Abuse of office and misuse of power by the concerned senior government officials. The Commissioners for Environment and Physical Planning including the PS Hakeem Ogunbambi were all copied and stamped acknowledged.
PS Ogunbambi and PS Ajayi responded by unleashing gun-totting Policemen and enforcement officials on my residence numbering over 10 in the early hours. Between 7am and 8am.
These officials forced their way unlawfully into my residence scaling the fence apparently arrested people they met in my house including carting away food and kitchen utensils behind my house.
They also arranged and pasted a backdated and forged COURT ORDER AND NOTICE to cover their tracks of illegality. What criminality in high places! Legalising illegality!!!!!!
They took everyone away in a Black Maria truck and headed for Alausa, received further instructions and proceeded to KAI premises for arraignment in Magistrate Court. What choreography?
Those abducted/arrested in my house were to be charged for ""Obstruction"". Obstruction of Law enforcement agents in their own house!!!!
The timely intervention of the Chairman of the Lagos State Environmental Task Force CSP Bayo Sulaiman prevented the illegality from been perfected.
At 5am on this day, Ajayi arranged a photographer to begin surveillance of my residence. The arrangement was bursted as screaming of residents immediately led to zooming off by the Ajayis who arranged the escape.
1. Today makes it 16 days since my house in Omole GRA phaze2 Berger isheri has been sealed off by officials from the Ministry of Environment without a reason, ostensibly of the orders of PS ministry of Physical Planning Arc (Mrs) Yetunde Ajayi (who is my next door neighbor), using the PS of Environment Egnr Hakeem Ogunbambi. The seal-off was done May 20, 2014 with chains and locks.
2. By yesterday morning of June 4, 2014–officials from the Environment Ministry and gun-wielding policemen numbering over 10 stormed my residence and arrested ALL the people they met at home and carried away personal effects and kitchen utensils. Three women were arrested and taken away and straight to Court in Alausa! Accompanied with a black maria-like truck!
3. The officials also pasted a back-dated Court order and and abatemenment notice on my gate, attempting to cover their tracks of illegality!
4. Three days (23 May, 2014) after my residence was sealed up, some officials from the Environment ministry visited my house at 6:30am "for inspection". They said that my neighbor complained of smoke from my backyard affecting their noses. i questioned the laughable procedure where first thing is done last!
5. On 28th May, 2014, my Lawyer's petition was received/acknowledged in your office/chief of staff's office. Letter copied to Commissioners for Environment, Mr Tunji Bello, Physical Planning & Urban Development, TpL Olutoyin Ayinde and PS of Environment Engr Hakeem Ogunbambi. So far, only the Physical Planning commissioner Toyin Ayinde has personally acknowledged receipt of my sms and lawyer's letter via a "text" message yesterday. i respect him for this show of professionalism and concern.

Gold Coins and medals
The history of gold coinage is the history of world political power. Since Croesus of Lydia, gold coins have both symbolized and actualized political and mililtary might.
Solon Numismatics presents a collection of gold coins from the Lydians through the Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Medieval Kingdoms of France, England, Spain and the Italian city-states, right through to modern times.
These coins have been chosen not only for beauty and state of preservation, but also because they can be read as informative historical documents.
For the vast majority of recorded history, perhaps for the reasons enumerated by Aristotle,* gold has always been money. There are many recorded instances of civilizations attempting to use an array of other types of currency: cowrie shells, chocolate, beer, oxen, little colored pieces of paper, and our modern experiment with electronic chits, and finally crypto currencies.
So far, all other currencies have failed. What happens next to global currencies as Zero Interest Rate Policy morphs into Negative Rates and MMT - is anybody's guess. But the stability, durability, and constancy of gold over the last 3000 years of human history is looking more attractive with every passing day.
*"Gold is durable, not like wheat, divisible, not like diamonds, convenient, not like lead, constant, not like real estate, and best of all, as jewelry, it has intrinsic value."

"Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
Anyone who has ever attempted to draw in a photo-realistic style knows how tedious the process can be. Every little detail of the image must be exact. Especially with portraits of people. If one line is in the wrong spot or one shape is too dark or too light, the drawing will not resemble the person. The most painstaking part of these portraits is the hair. All the lines don't follow in perfect pattern. They are haphazard and random, with stray hairs going across the other strands making the work very slow.
As I struggle to create each individual line and shape, it forces me to notice the unique parts that make up a face. You never really appreciate these details until you're forced to see, analyze and copy each one in an artwork. It reminds me of the incredible amount of detail there is in every single person, animal, plant and living thing in this world... and God created it all.
He knows every single detail about every part of us, and far more than we could ever see or understand. How important and valuable we must be! How caring and loving is the Great Artist?

SELIO BOUNCES BACK TO TAKE SENSATIONAL POLE POSITION AND SECOND PLACE IN PORTUGAL
31.7.2016 Marko Mäkinen
Sunday, 31 July, PORTIMAO (Portugal): Finland's Sami Selio silenced his critics with a brilliant return to form on the Arade River in Portimao to take pole position for the F1H2O Grand Prix of Portugal in a fiercely competitive final session with a mere nine-tenths separating the top eight, and then went on to finish in second place in the race.
After a season to forget so far it all came together for the BABA Racing driver whose time of 43.11 was enough to give him his 24th career pole by just eight-tenths of a second and his first since Porto in 2015. "At last finally we get a good outcome. It has been a really difficult period but it's great to have pole and now we have to see how the race will go," said Selio. "It felt good but we were running a spare, spare engine and although we were limited with what we could do I was happy with the set up. We tried some different props which worked well and I don't think I could have pushed much harder. I was quite on the limit but kept in mind that we also have to race in a couple of hours."
The race proved to be another huge step forward and a boost for the team, and despite losing out at the start and dropping to third, Selio moved up into second after passing Alex Carella on lap 30 of 48 and was able to hold station to the chequered flag despite pressure from Torrente. "We really needed this weekend. Quickest in qualifying and a podium really is very satisfying. I am extremely pleased," he said. "We showed we had the pace and finally the reliability so a big thanks to all of my team.
"We didn't have a free practice after qualifying to set the boat up for the race so it was really a bit of a lottery. But over the year we've changed the boat, the engines the props so we always knew the race was going to be a little challenging.
"But I think we've shown, and I've proved at least to myself that I can still drive the boat fast enough and maybe to others too."
After a brilliant second place at the Grand Prix of France two weeks ago, it was a somewhat frustrating weekend for Selio's teammate Filip Roms, manging only 16th in qualifying due to an issue with the engine and then driving to 13th but missing out on points.
The Grand Prix victory went to CTIC F1 China's Philippe Chiappe, with Victory Team's Shaun Torrente taking third and championship leader Alex Carella coming home in fifth.
Baba Racing´s junior driver Ferdinand Zandbergen was in the F4-S Trophy second in race 1 ja third in race 2.
Round 4 of the F1H2O World Championship takes place on 2-4 September in Harbin, China.

2006 has been a big year for me. So much has happened. Both good and not so good.
It has been a year of tremendous joy. The first year of babyhood was not that easy for me. Newborn twins are tough. But the second year is so much fun. It is such a joy to see how your children grow and learn and take delight in discovering the world around them. I still look at my children in wondrous disbelief – I am awed by how incredibly lucky I am to have these two beautiful children. How on earth did I manage to get this lucky?? I am unspeakably grateful.
It has been a year of great achievements (publishing a book), moments of great opportunity (appearing on TV twice, doing three radio show), great exposure in the print media (reviews, interviews or excerpts in just about every major local magazine and newspaper). Lots of '15 minutes of fame' for me this year. I feel a great sense of pride in myself for pursuing this.
It has also been a year of big change on the job front. Moving from being a big fish in a small pond, to being a small fish in a very, very large pond (IBM). A change in mindset, and going forward, perhaps a change in focus. More work, less play.
It has been a challenging year on other fronts. At a time in my life when everything seemed to be going right, I was hit by depression once again. The timing of it was hard to deal with. Why then, when everything was going so well? Learning that I am at higher risk for bouts of chemical depression was hard to hear. Even harder has been the struggle to find the right solution for the depression. It has been a tough few months. But I am determined to be well.
It has also been tough to find the right harmonious balance in my marriage. Parenting brings with it a set of stresses and challenges to the relationship that I never anticipated.
I've learnt a lot about myself this year. Things I hope to learn and grown from next year.
I am not going to do new years resolutions. I never stick to them anyway. And anyway, I've stopped smoking and I am hardly going to stop drinking, now am I? What other resolutions are there?
1. The main one being my health. I want to focus on being physically, emotionally and psychologically healthy in 2007. I am going to promise myself to take whatever steps are required to make sure 2007 is a healthy year for me. I neglected my health in a big way in 2006. And I suffered for it.
2. My marriage: I need to work hard at making sure my marriage is healthy too. I want us to be together, happy, forever. And that doesn't happen automatically. Good marriages require care and dedication. And hard work!
3. My career: I would like find my niche at work, my 'groove'. Find the thing I enjoy doing, that I am good at, and then excel at it. It's been a while since I have done something at work that has excited me.
You will notice that I haven't mentioned motherhood or my kids in my 2007 goals. And that is because I intend on continuing doing what I did in 2006, being the best mother to my kids I could be. Motherhood was the one thing I did really well in 2006. It was a job I adored doing. Unfortunately it came at the expense of the three things above. My children got every single ounce of me. And everything else suffered. This next year I need to learn to continue being a good mom, but also to focus on being good to myself, my husband and my job. My kids will always come first, but the other things need attention as well.
What are your 2006 reflections and 2007 aspirations?
Great post Tertia. I feel like I did the same thing with my kids, gave them every ounce of myself and let other things slide. I need to turn my attention to other areas of my life as well, which gets easier as the kids get older.
I may steal your resolutions!
My top resolution this year is to slow down enough to find fun and beauty in the things I already have, just the way they are - flawed or not.
I did want to point out too that a marriage is two adults. You can definitely turn more of your energy towards it and that is a good thing, but a marriage can only become healthy when both partners are doing that.
DH and I have a goal this year for our household to be totally sustainable. We're putting solar panels up to replace oil-based electricity in our house. We're looking into geothermal energy for our heating. We want to grow all our fruits and vegetables in the coming growing season. It will be really cool if we can do it.
Tertia - what an inspirational post to end 2006 and kick of an awesome 2007!
My resolution is NOT to go back to work during 2007 - I spent 3 years of infertility trying for a baby, and my miracle arrived in March this year. Hubby is pretty insistent that I return to work in the new year, but I will NOT be railroaded into it - it's pure financial greed on his part - we don't actually NEED the money - what I earn basically buys the "TOYS" and we have more than enough already.
OH - also to pursue the initial contact with my birth mum - I'm adopted, I have traced my birth mum's contact details - name, address and telehone number - but haven't yet made contact. I need to sit down and write THE most important letter of my life!
I aspire to be a really good mom to kids who are finally cognizant of the world around them (almost 2 years old).
I aspire to lose (and keep off this time) 20 lbs.
I aspire to find a good job. The right job.
I aspire to meet someone fabulous to date in '07.
I am hoping 2007 will result in my house being totally organized (yeah...right...like thats gonna happen with three boys)...us continuing on our road to financial stability...and possibly ttc at the end of the year.
I feel I've got a pretty damn good handle on the motherhood front and just want continue on with that.
I think 2007 is going to be my year of doing all those things that are so outside my frame of reference I have no idea how to do them. I am thinking about two new businesses in particular. The thought of building them and working towards making them sustainable is unnerving and I think that is also how I know they are good projects to stick with.
I made a speech at my wedding last year (Feb 2006) where I made a few promises to my wife. This year I am going to continue my work to keep those promises to her. We don't have children yet (Gina wants a baby yesterday) and even without them, nurturing a marriage is an ongoing commitment and one worth making (at least for me).
That is pretty much what comes to mind for me now ... I think the thing with these sorts of resolutions or decisions is that you really need to make the same commitments every morning when you wake up or they are just a bunch of words. So I guess the question is what you will decide to do with 2007 tomorrow morning.
good for you. i know there are many times i have lost myself because i have been so consumed by the home, the hubby, the kids, the responsibilities, working, blogging and helping family members and friends. people like you and i give and give and give and then have nothing left for ourselves. i applaud the fact you were brave enough to verbalize you need some "me" time and i pray the best for you.
i have these moments myself. i verbalized it on my blog (www.poconomom.com) as well. i realize i get these deep analytical moments and pick them apart like an orange...i'm not sure if i would do that if i had down time, because then i would be able to reflect on a normal basis, rather than everything flodding to me in one big swoop.
My aspirations -- I will not call them resolutions -- are similar to yours. Health, marriage, work.
I really need to get healthy. I am so out of shape, and fatter than I ever imagined I could be, and I need to work on that. But I have to be realistic about it. Small steps. My marriage needs a lot of work. We always had a great marriage, and now we bicker and snap at each other all the time. We are both trying to be nicer to each other. I've always hated that married couples so often treat each other worse than they would treat total strangers, and I'm going to work really hard to fix that. And on the work front, I want to dedicate myself to excellence. I've been at my job for 14 years. And I feel I've let my work slip. I am on our evaluation committee for junior attorneys, and as I listen to the praise for some of them, that they have great attention to detail, they do not accept mediocrity, etc., I realize that those are the things people said about me when I was young, and I don't think I can say about myself any more. How to do this while being mother to three young kids, I'm not sure, but I at least have to try.
A lot to work on, but I would like to look back on 2007 and feel better about than I did about 2006.


A 79-year-old woman has been run over by a thief as he drove off in her car.
The victim suffered serious injuries during the carjacking when the man drove over her as she lay in the vehicle's path at a car park.
The woman had got out of her white Hyundai i10 after being approached by the man in Oldham, Greater Manchester, shortly before 2pm on Wednesday.
The man told her there was a problem with her car, and as she checked to see what was wrong, the man jumped in.
He then reversed the vehicle, knocking the woman over, before driving over her at the car park off Sandy Lane in Royton.
Police say they are trying to trace the man behind the "horrible crime", which has left the victim in hospital.
The car was later recovered in Buersil Avenue, near the Turf Hill area of Rochdale.
The man is described as white, in his mid-40s and stocky. He was wearing a light long-sleeved top and dark trousers.
Detective Inspector Ian Harratt, from Greater Manchester Police's Oldham division, said it was "one of the worst incidents" he has had to investigate.
He said: "How someone can do this to anyone, never mind a 79-year-old lady, I will never know."

Historic Fitger's Inn
Duluth's first brewery was started by Sidney Luce in 1857. Luce built his brewery a block and a half from the present site, and utilized a small, clear brook which later was known as Brewery Creek. His brewery grew, and in 1881 Michael Fink purchased the brewery. Fink built a new, larger brewery on the present Fitger's site. Fink's Lake Superior Brewery soon hired a new brewmaster, a young German named August Fitger who graduated from one of Germany's premier brewing schools. Within the year, August Fitger owned half of the brewery.
Beer production continued for forty years, until Prohibition (1920 -1933) changed matters for all breweries around the nation. Many went out of business. Fitger's stayed alive by turning out new products such as soda pop and candy bars. Candy lovers in Duluth during the "Roaring Twenties" enjoyed the Fitger's Flapper, the Fitger's Spark Plug, the Five Cent Fitger's Nut Goodie, the King Bee Nougat, and Fitger's Skookum. Along with the candy bars, Fitger's cranked out cases of Lovit Pop, a popular favorite on a hot summer's day down at Park Point.
After the repeal of Prohibition, Fitger's resumed brewing strong beer, and business boomed during the 1930's. Production was up to 100,000 barrels a year by 1940. The Beerhalter family purchased the Brewery in 1944, and operated if for the next quarter century. Fitger's Brewery closed its doors on September 30, 1972, ending 115 years of brewing on the shores of Lake Superior.
The Fitger's Brewery Complex was re-opened in September of 1984 with a 48 room hotel, three full service restaurants, and a retail center. In 1995, a group of prominent Duluth business people purchased the Complex, and continue as the driving force behind all positive improvements at Fitger's, which include the construction of fourteen luxury suites, new dining options, and the beautiful Lakewalk Access.

Fire fighters questioned for allegedly stealing from crashed jet
Posted by: Denis Chabrol in Business, Crime, News November 9, 2018	0
The captain of the ill-fated Fly Jamaica Airlines jet that made an emergency landing at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport alleged that several personal items were stolen from the plane, police said.
Police and fire officials said at least nine fire fighters were being questioned by investigators in connection with the reported theft.
Fire Chief Marlon Gentle said the pilot reported losing cash and electronic devices. He said one of the fire fighters surrendered items and then the theft began unravelling. He said other items were found at the Timehri Fire Station. A crew member also claimed her items were stolen
Gentle said the matter has been handed over to the police and stern action would be taken against those found culpable. "This is not something that we condone or take very lightly. Those found culpable will be dealt with to the fullest extent," he said.
Other sources also told Demerara Waves Online News that a number of crew members and passengers have also claimed items, including passports, electronic devices have been stolen.
The fire fighters were among the first responders who entered the plane after it made an emergency landing at the north-eastern end of the runway.
The pilot had reported a hydraulic failure 10 minutes after departing Cheddi Jagan International Airport and requested permission to land.
On landing, one of the right engine and landing gear broke off.

MIAMI, July 11 /PRNewswire/ — The readers of Travel + Leisure magazine have added their acclaim to the growing list of awards and accolades accruing to Seabourn Cruise Line, ranking its three elegant, yacht-like sister-ships the "World's Best Small Ship Cruise Line" in the magazine's 10th annual World's Best Awards.
Since the Seabourn yachts also earned the highest score awarded to any cruise line by readers of Departures magazine in its most recent Luxury Survey, the combined honors amount to a Seabourn sweep of readers' polls sponsored by American Express Publishing Corporation's upscale travel and lifestyle publications, which reach a combined circulation of over 1.65 million affluent households.
With the addition of the Departures and Travel + Leisure rankings, Seabourn has had a consistent record of praises from prestigious sources over the past months. Seabourn Spirit is once again the highest rated cruise ship in the world in the 2005 Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Poll. Spirit was awarded the same title in the 2003 poll.
Identical sisters Seabourn Pride and Seabourn Legend shared the spotlight with admirable scores in their own rights. Pride earned a perfect 100 for "Destinations" and "Crew/Service" and Legend took the top spot in the small ship category for "Food/Dining," barely edging ahead of second-place Spirit by two-tenths of a point.
The readers of Porthole cruising lifestyle magazine picked Seabourn Spirit as their 2004 Best Small Ship, and the magazine's 2005 Editor-in-Chief Award went to Seabourn for the Best Luxury Cruise Experience.
In addition, Seabourn has been honored on every one of Conde Nast Traveler's prestigious annual Gold Lists, a remarkable testament to the line's consistent excellence.
The line also scored overseas, taking top honors from the readers of the U. K. newspaper The Telegraph and the Swiss Travel Star Gold award, based on a survey of Swiss travel agencies. This year, Seabourn earned the coveted Five Star Diamond Award from the American Institute of Hospitality Sciences for the eleventh time. Seabourn is the only cruise line to have consistently received the honor since it was first created.
Seabourn's highly inclusive onboard experience provides a series of thoughtful enhancements to shipboard and shoreside services called Signature Delights that add luxury and value for guests aboard the three 208-guest Yachts of Seabourn: Seabourn Pride, Spirit and Legend. Signature Delights include complimentary service of spirits and wines including French champagne throughout every cruise; free Massage Moments for guests on deck; gourmet cuisine created by celebrity chef Charlie Palmer; indulgent Pure Pampering therapeutic bathing selections from Molton Brown and an Exclusively Seabourn complimentary shoreside experience on every cruise.

Traditional brick and mortar retailers still have a future despite the boom in online retail, but they have to be open to change, says Vicus Bouwer, divisional director: retail leasing Africa, Broll, South Africa, who spoke at Seamless Southern Africa last week.
"Online is an additional sales channel. Most people now browse for items on their devices, but still head in-store to purchase them," Bouwer says.
While the closure of Stuttafords, Mango and Nine West made headlines locally in the last few years, there have also been some notable entries into the African market by international brands like Decathlon, LC Waikiki, Leroy Merlin, Miniso, H&M and Kidzania.
Then there's the 'clicks to bricks' trend that sees formally online-only brands like Amazon and Fragrance.com open physical stores. At home in South Africa, Yuppiechef is a shining example of a successful transition into the physical retail space.
But digital technology and consumer preferences are evolving rapidly, says Bouwer, and brick and mortar retailers have largely struggled to keep pace. In South Africa alone, there's currently 25million square metres of retail space, with additional development on the horizon, giving rise to criticism that we have an oversupply of shopping malls.
Also a speaker at Seamless Southern Africa, Hyprop Investments' Kimaal Baker, the digital manager at Canal Walk, says that demands from consumers are what's driving retail disruption; technology is simply the enabler. He states that business models need to adapt to Gen Z consumers as they're the ones driving change going forward.
Freedom - They want freedom and flexibility to move between products and services. They're not fond of 'brand handcuffs' and have an aversion to long-term contracts with companies.
'Weconomy' - Growing up in a collaborative era, Gen Z consumers are comfortable with shared ownership or the 'sharing economy' – from workspaces to transport and accommodation.
Instant gratification - They're used to things happening instantaneously. This expectation extends to the likes of website load times, feedback from brands and e-commerce deliveries.
Expectancy - Similarly, they have higher expectations. They also believe they have a strong voice and can influence others to effect change. This means added pressure for brands to "get it right".
Phydigital - The physical environment is expected to match the online environment.
Customisation - Not just end consumers – Gen Z consumers want to be part of the production process. The enjoy products that are customised to their individual tastes and interests.
Authenticity - They want to know the story behind the product and your brand, and will call you out if brand messaging isn't authentic.
Retail spaces need to change, Baker says. They need to become environments in which people genuinely enjoy spending their time. Less of a space to sell things, but an environment that builds community, and engages, educates and entertains the shopper.
He references a quote by Checkland Kindleysides founder Jeff Kindleysides, which states that "retail is the last bastion of community." In what's been referred to a battle between online and offline, Baker says that brick and mortar wins when it comes to experience. That's because as people, we value experiences that we can share with our friends and family.
Physical retail needs to offer shoppers something that they can't get online. People need to be attracted to the environment first, after which they can engage with retail stores as well, Baker explains.
Echoing Baker's sentiments above, Broll's Bouwer states that if physical retail is to thrive, retailers must "push the boundaries of innovation" and focus on the customer experience. And catering to the digital-savvy modern shopper, he continues, means providing them with frictionless movement between channels.
Some of the ways to link your physical store to your online presence include offering services like click and collect, and fast and simple delivery and returns. Bouwer also advises having alternative, mobile payments solutions in stores and to ensure the online store is linked with the in-store POS system for effective stock-tracking.
Hyprop's Baker draws on global examples of how the retail space as we know it is getting a facelift.
There's Korean eyewear brand Gentle Monster, whose innovative store designs resemble more of a contemporary art gallery than a retail shop. The eyewear is displayed among themed sculptures and installations as though it is part of the artistic aesthetic. The installations often change, which gives customers a reason to come back.
U.S. department store Macy's bought into the pop-up-shop concept by launching The Market @ Macy's. The programme allocates pods of space to a handful of brands and companies on Macy's ground floor to promote or sell their products. Brands pay Macy's a once-off fee and can stay as little as a month.
Meanwhile, the new Hudson Yards development in New York City will soon boast an entire floor devoted to online retailers. The Floor of Discovery will include space "dedicated to digitally native brands, experiential shopping, and food and beverage concepts," according to Chain Store Age.
But to draw customers into your stores, and keep them returning is not a matter of 'go big or go home'. "We can delight customers in small ways to build up customer loyalty over time," Baker says.


A powerful conscious living and leadership movement is now emerging in many parts of the world. It's a movement built on the conviction that, in any initiative, all stakeholders can be served, all people and the environment can be honored and respected, and economic models can serve something greater than our individual selves.
Within this movement, there is also widespread agreement that, in order to lead the world forward in the most effective, impactful, and transformative ways, new skills and tools, as well as broader capacities for awareness and perception, will be required. These new skills and capacities require us to stretch far beyond the familiar, analytical, knowledge-based approaches found in traditional learning environments into more creative, discovery-based, transformational approaches. And this is what Transformational Presence is all about.
Going forward, we need leaders who know how to be present with "what is" – to feel, sense, and listen to the energy and discover what is next. Leaders who can be comfortable in not knowing the answers – and maybe not even knowing yet which questions to ask. Curious, imaginative leaders who are willing to explore without knowing what they will find, yet trust that clues for next steps will appear. Leaders who, when they sense these next steps, are not afraid to take action.
We need leaders who are "at home in their own skin" – who are comfortable with who they are, and who fully embrace their own talents, skills, and gifts. At the same time, they thrive on continued learning through their leadership experience. They constantly seek to broaden their horizons of understanding and awareness. As they continue to learn and grow, they also create the best possible conditions for others to thrive and develop to their greatest potential – to experience their own breakthroughs in understanding, awareness, perception, and action.
We need leaders who recognize that everything is connected to everything else – who embody the understanding that the world is built on a matrix of relationships, and that everything that happens is a part of a larger flow. Nothing exists in isolation. Everything exists within a larger context.
This is the leadership that will transform our world. Transformational Presence provides a strong foundation for conscious living and leadership through a powerful yet practical set of skills that, when developed together, build capacities for awareness, understanding, perception, and effective action. At the core of our work is Whole-Mind Thinking and Whole-Being Awareness.
Whole-Mind Thinking is a result of full partnership between the intuitive and intellectual minds. This partnership actually exists within us already, but through our socialization and traditional education experiences, most of us have been conditioned that these are two separate minds, and that the intellect is the one that counts.
The first step in developing Whole-Mind Thinking is the understanding that the intuitive mind is actually the larger and more powerful mind. The intellectual mind is just one small part of the much larger intuitive mind. Both are essential for leadership in today's rapidly changing and unpredictable world. They each play critical roles. Understanding those roles is an important first step in developing these new leadership skills and capacities.
Since 1991, the Institute of HeartMath in Boulder Creek, California, has been doing extensive research on the intelligence of the heart and the intuitive mind. Through their research, they have discovered that the electromagnetic field of the heart is 5,000 times greater than the electromagnetic field of the brain. The heart is the center of the intuitive mind, while the brain is the center of the intellectual mind. Taken another step, this research helps us to understand that the intuitive mind has access to a field of information that is 5,000 times greater than the field of information accessible by the intellect.
The highly developed intuitive mind is constantly gathering information. It picks up on signals from our emotions and feelings as well as from what is happening around us and what is waiting to unfold. In all kinds of circumstances and situations, the intuitive mind senses things that the rational-intellectual mind might miss – what is happening beneath the surface or things that are not so obvious. It senses "what wants to happen" in the big-picture view. It sees and understands things within a larger context. It's our inner radar system, feeding us information on everything that is happening, both seen and unseen, and how it is all connected, all the time.
However, while the intuitive mind is very good at gathering information, it's not so good at organizing it. For that, it needs a really sharp intellect. The well-developed intellect has an incredible mental filing system that allows us to access information from our knowledge, memory, and experience banks very quickly.
So to summarize, the intuitive mind is the explorer and information gatherer, and the intellectual mind is the organizer and cataloger. The Transformational Presence approach offers many simple yet powerful tools and exercises that help you become a master of Whole-Mind Thinking.
Whole-Being Awareness stretches Whole-Mind Thinking to include the incredible innate awareness, understanding, and wisdom available to us through our human energy system. Perhaps you've heard the saying, "The body knows," or, "The body doesn't lie." The human energy system is an extraordinary technology that we're just beginning to scratch the surface of. It is capable of guiding and supporting us far more than most people have imagined. Again, Transformational Presence offers many incredibly simple yet powerful tools and approaches for tapping into that guidance and accessing the information and wisdom within us and around us.
As Whole-Mind Thinking and Whole-Being Awareness become your default approach to life and leadership, you discover that you have a greater ability to "see the big picture" of what is happening and understand events and circumstances within a much larger context. You learn to recognize patterns and flows of energy and discover how to navigate complex situations.
When faced with challenges, difficulties, or confusion, Whole-Mind Thinking and Whole-Being Awareness reduce stress and foster resilience by transforming your relationship to what is happening. There are no magic pills, yet as your perception and understanding of what is happening expands and as you are able to see things within a larger context, clarity emerges. And you know what to do next.
Transformational Presence is the embodiment of Whole-Mind Thinking and Whole-Being Awareness. It's the foundational skill set needed for the emerging conscious leadership movement. As individuals, organizations, and societies develop and refine this skill set, they begin to shape a transformational culture around them. As the culture transforms, people are more supported and encouraged to introduce transformational initiatives. And step-by-step, we begin to create a world that works.
P.S. If you have two more minutes for inspiration, watch this video, "What Does the Future Want From Us?" created by the students, teachers and staff of City of Lakes Waldorf School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. It speaks so clearly to what today's world is asking for from us!

Q: ReactJs: set initial state using props while using dynamic Taglist I am sending an array named tags as props and i want to assign it in initial states so that those array elements should be displayed. using this code they are displayed properly but i am unable to edit them. when i click cross it gets deleted but after sometime it displays again. Seems like setState in handelClose method is not working.
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { Tag, Input, Tooltip, Button } from 'antd';

class EditableTagGroup extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      tags: [],
      inputVisible: false,
      inputValue: '',
    };
  }

  handleClose = (removedTag) => {
    // debugger;
    const tags = this.state.tags.filter(tag => tag !== removedTag);
    console.log(tags);
    // debugger;
    this.setState({ tags: tags });
  }

  showInput = () => {
    this.setState({ inputVisible: true }, () => this.input.focus());
  }

  handleInputChange = (e) => {
    this.setState({ inputValue: e.target.value });
  }

  handleInputConfirm = () => {
    const state = this.state;
    const inputValue = state.inputValue;
    let tags = state.tags;
    if (inputValue && tags.indexOf(inputValue) === -1) {
      tags = [...tags, inputValue];
    }
    console.log(tags);
    this.setState({
      tags,
      inputVisible: false,
      inputValue: '',
    });
    this.props.onSelect(tags);
  }

  // componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {
  //   this.setState({tags: this.props.tags})
  // }

  componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {
    // debugger;
    if (this.state.tags  !== this.props.tags) {
      this.setState({tags: this.props.tags})
    }
  }

  saveInputRef = input => this.input = input

  render() {
    const {tags , inputVisible, inputValue } = this.state;
    return (
      <div>
        {tags.map((tag, index) => {
          const isLongTag = tag.length > 20;
          const tagElem = (
            <Tag key={tag} closable={index !== -1} afterClose={() => this.handleClose(tag)}>
              {isLongTag ? `${tag.slice(0, 20)}...` : tag}
            </Tag>
          );
          return isLongTag ? <Tooltip title={tag} key={tag}>{tagElem}</Tooltip> : tagElem;
        })}
        {inputVisible && (
          <Input
            ref={this.saveInputRef}
            type="text"
            size="small"
            style={{ width: 78 }}
            value={inputValue}
            onChange={this.handleInputChange}
            onBlur={this.handleInputConfirm}
            onPressEnter={this.handleInputConfirm}
          />
        )}
        {!inputVisible && <Button size="small" type="dashed" onClick={this.showInput}>+ New Tag</Button>}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default EditableTagGroup

A: The problem is that, you are saving and using the props in the local state and then modifying those, however everytime the component updates, you are setting the state back to the props.
// this is where you are setting the state back to
// props and hence your edit disappears
componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {
    // debugger;
    if (this.state.tags  !== this.props.tags) {
      this.setState({tags: this.props.tags})
    }
  }

What you need to do is to not maintain, the props in state but rather directly modifying it, by passing a handler from the parent to update the props.
