Q: Why components gets shrinked when not wrapped in ScrollView in ReactNative? I am creating a project following Stephen Grider tutorial but i really got stuck when my view shrinked when i didn't wrap with ScrollView.
Here is the code in github: https://github.com/jasonkoirala/Swipe
When I wrap my following code:
  render() {
  return (
  <ScrollView>
  <View>
      <Deck
        data={DATA}
        renderCard={this.renderCard.bind(this)}
      />
     </View>
  </ScrollView>
   );
 }
}

Here is the output I get when I wrap with ScrollView:
And, here is the output I get when I don't wrap with ScrollView:
I dont want to use ScrollView to wrap my content, instead I want with View, and I tried giving following style to the view but it didn't work.
`flex: 1,
backgroundColor: '#fffdff',
position: 'absolute',
top: 0,
bottom: 0,
left: 0,
right: 0`

I have just started learning ReactNative can anyone help me with this and explain why it behaves this way. Thank You.
PS: Please use react-native run-android or react-native run-ios in project folder whose download link is mentioned above.

A: I tried on your source code and found a solution.
I have removed flex:1 from image style (in App.js) and from buttonStyle and it worked as expected.
Hope this will help.

31 Splurge-Worthy Pieces Of Furniture From Target That Are Both Stylish *And* Practical
These are truly worth every penny.
by Rebecca Norris
We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, BuzzFeed collects a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.
1. A faux marble coffee table that looks like something you'd find at West Elm or Anthropologie rather than Target. The piece will add a modern glam accent to any room while offering the practicality of a surface to set things.
Promising review: "I really love this table, it is so cute and easy to put together! It makes my living room look fun and flirty, this was a really good purchase." –Target reviewer
Price: $179.99 (available in six colors)
2. A two-door cabinet with woven panel accents for folks looking to style their home with a boho-chic vibe. The cabinet has a shelf underneath, as well, so you'll have somewhere to display items and somewhere to organize them behind closed doors.
Promising review: "Honestly, I would really recommend this. It is the perfect cabinet for a small space. I am using it in my kitchen as extra storage/ coffee section. I had an issue with a small color defective front panel but Target's customer service is the best and they were able to quickly resolve this. Like most other people mentioned, the hinges for the front doors have to be properly adjusted but it's a great piece and super easy to put together... it came with all assembly pieces. If you have been eyeing this for a while, this is your sign to purchase." –Target reviewer
Price: $200 (available in two colors)
3. A pop-up wood coffee table so you can comfortably eat or work from your couch. The minimalist design gives the piece a Pottery Barn vibe at a practical Target price.
Promising review: "Very solid, easy to put together. Looks great and the lift top works very well. It's a little heavy to lift, especially if there's anything on it, and it does creak a little bit, but it's exactly what I was looking for and has been absolutely great." –Target reviewer
Price: $284.99 (originally $379.99; available in four colors)
4. A rattan coffee table and side table set for boho lovers looking for extra surface area in their home. The coffee table is wider and shorter than the side table, though, both feature the same eye-catching woven design.
Promising review: "Love my new tables! They are sturdy and just the style I was looking for!" –Target reviewer
5. A convertible futon sofa so you have somewhere to sit, set your drinks, and lay down. When fully upright, the piece acts solely as a sofa. Then, users have the option to pop down the center console for drink storage. Alternatively, it can be laid flat to serve as a bed. And, with a faux leather finish, it adds a modern style to any room.
Just keep in mind that this piece is a bit smaller than you might expect. At just under six feet long, it's more of a loveseat than a full couch. That said, it's great for kids and small adults.
Price: $299.99 (originally $529.99; available in two colors)
6. A colorful ladder shelf that will serve as both a style statement in your home, as well as an extra place to organize your favorite books, records, knickknacks, and more.
The five-shelf ladder is designed to be propped against the wall, so it's best in homes where large dogs or unruly kids won't run behind it and potentially knock it down.
Promising review: "Great quality, definitely more of a medium wood tone rather than the weathered grey sort of shade that it looks like on the website but I love it!" –Target reviewer
Price: $170.99 (available in three colors)
7. A shelf floor lamp for folks who live in small spaces and are looking for ways to make the most of it. This modern-looking lamp sits atop a two-shelf base, in which each shelf offers enough space to house books, coasters, an alarm clock, and more.
My best friend bought one in college (roughly 10 years ago) and still has it. In other words: Yes, it's a practical, long-lasting splurge.
Promising review: "Nice, clean, modern design. Easy to assemble and very practical." –Target reviewer
Price: $55 (available in two colors)
8. A Novogratz metal rolling cart that offers a little extra organization and a whole lot of style. While $65 for a seemingly simple metal cart may seem like a lot, you're bound to get compliments on and lots of use out of this pretty-but-practical three-tiered wonder.
Promising review: "I got this cart in yellow and it's exactly the color I hoped it'd be. Despite measuring ahead of time, this cart is smaller than what I need. I will find another use because it is cute!" —Target reviewer
Price: $64.99 (available in four colors)
9. A three-bulb brass floor lamp so your room will be super well lit. Each dome bulb can be adjusted for the perfect light, so you can even adjust each based on who is benefitting from each strobe of light. Plus, with a brass finish, it's tres chic.
Promising review: "It looks like the photo. It's super easy to assemble and works great. I liked it so much I bought a second one." –Target reviewer
10. A six-foot ladder shelf that provides plenty of room to store your favorite books, knickknacks, frames, and plants, while also adding a modern-industrial element to your space. The five-shelf bookcase can support up to 30 pounds per shelf.
Promising review: "This shelf was exactly what I was looking for to blend modern and old pieces in our new home. Delivery was quick, assembly was easy, and we're thrilled!" —Target reviewer
11. A swivel gliding recliner for parents-to-be and folks who simply like chairs with movement. The top-rated glider can spin 360 degrees and recline smoothly to a number of positions, so you won't accidentally wake your sleeping baby. Plus, its style alone makes it look like something from Pottery Barn Kids.
Promising review: "We love this chair. Purchased it for both kids; one chair is almost three years old and still looks new and just as comfortable." —Target reviewer
Price: $329.99 (available in two colors)
12. A wood-topped kitchen island cart that will help you make the most of your space. Whether you're looking for a little extra counter space in your open kitchen or a lot of extra storage, this cart, which features a cabinet, shelves, two drawers, and a row of hanging hooks will help.
Promising review: "This is the second time we have purchased this. We lost the first one in a hurricane. This adds a good amount of storage and it great for a coffee bar. Assembly is fairly easy." —Target reviewer
13. And a six-in-one convertible baby crib so you don't have to keep buying new beds as your baby grows up. The crib converts into a toddler bed, daybed, sofa, full-size bed with headboard and tall footboard, as well as a full-size bed with a headboard and low footboard. So many options — and all of them look stylish!
Promising review: "Absolutely in love with this crib! The gray was certainly warmer in color but we actually preferred it that way! The natural wood grain texture is beautiful! The piece is very durable and was much easier to put together than the matching dresser. We are so happy with our purchases and would certainly buy them again! If you're looking for a crib that's high quality and stands out against all the others out there, this is for you!" —Target reviewer
14. A wooden secretary desk for folks who need workspace without dedicating an entire room to it. The desk has three cubbies up top and a fold-out desk that can store a monitor and keyboard within it. What's more, there are outlets and USB ports along the back of it for easy wiring.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this desk! I needed to put in it my living room, so I wanted to make sure my work area could be closed away at night. It looks so sleek and modern! The workspace area is very sturdy and exactly what I was looking for!" —Target reviewer
Price: $200 (available in three colors)
15. A commercial-grade indoor/outdoor chair (or a few) so you have plenty of places for people to sit in (and outside of) your home. The sturdy, weather-resistant metal chairs are sold in a variety of colors, so you could easily use the practical silhouettes to brighten up your space. Most notably, each chair is designed to support up to 500 pounds, so they're practical for all guests.
Promising review: "Exactly what I wanted for the outdoor seating at my restaurant. Hope they last as long as they look good. I ordered 18 chairs and all arrived fully assembled and in good shape." –Target reviewer
Price: $75.99 (available in six colors)
16. A funky plaid armchair to add style and comfort to your space. The chair features a sturdy wooden frame and thick cushions upholstered in green plaid fabric. Very Clueless meets modern day.
Promising review: "I looked at purchasing a $1,500 chair before I bought these. A year later and SO glad I got these instead. Everyone is always surprised these came from Target. Not Lazy Boy comfortable, but surprisingly cozy/comfortable. Highly recommend." —Target reviewer
Price: $300 (available in eight styles)
17. A low-back, armless desk chair for folks looking to improve their posture (And office style) while working from home. The padded chair features 360-degree swivel and can be adjusted to the height of your choosing.
Promising review: "Great chair. Got it for our granddaughter's birthday and her bedroom redo. Cute and functional!!" –Target reviewer
18. A pretty metal bed that will make your bed feel sturdier and your mood happier — truly, it's that gorgeous and well-built. Just keep in mind that, during the platform bed craze we're currently in, this bed does require a box spring.
Promising review: "This bed is stunning! Looks so much more expensive than it is. We bought the bronze twin bed for our toddler and we've been very pleased with our purchase. The bed is sturdy and just plain beautiful. The bed arrived packaged very well with no damaged or missing parts. I assembled the bed solo in roughly 1.5 hours. The instructions were very straightforward and easy to understand. Highly recommend!" –Target reviewer
Price: $419.99+ (available in four sizes and six colors)
19. A Novogratz linen futon so you always have plenty of sleeping space if guests stay the night. This MCM-inspired futon folds down into a full bed or it can be reclined incrementally for the perfect movie-viewing experience.
Promising review: "This futon is easy to assemble and I love the burnt orange color to it, it's extremely unique. It's very comfortable to sit on in couch position or to lay on when switched to a bed. Switching features is simple, all you need to do is fold the back down. The pleated fabric of the back is a little puffy but doesn't affect the futon's comfort level. It's simple to clean and the material is soft but strong and durable. My sons are loving it and use it daily, I'm very impressed with it and very happy I got it. It's a high-quality futon and is made to last." –Target reviewer
Price: $371.99 (available in eight colors)
20. And a round storage ottoman in case you love the idea of hidden storage along with a sturdy and stylish place to prop your feet. This is more so the size of a small coffee table and, despite seeming smaller than the ottoman above, it can actually hold up to 250 pounds of goods.
Promising review: "Love this ottoman! We only had to screw on the legs, so minimal assembly. It's the perfect size, sturdy, and easy to clean. The storage inside is such a bonus and it looks great in our room." –Target reviewer
Price: $107.99 (originally $119.99; available in seven colors)
21. A storage ottoman so you have an extra place to sit in your home and to store things in. The ottoman can hold up to 125 pounds worth of goods, so it will help you hide plenty of clutter out of sight while looking pretty as can be from the outside.
Promising review: "Perfect for the end of my full-size bed! Love the color and hidden storage. Scotch guarded it and couldn't be happier!" –Target reviewer
Price: $150.99 (avaialaable in seven colors)
22. A modern farmhouse TV console that features a built-in electric fireplace. The stand, which includes storage behind two barn-like sliding doors, can hold up to a 65-inch TV.
Promising review: "Great product especially for the price. I would recommend using a drill to drill holes for the fireplace installation, but other than that it was easy to assemble and looks great!" –Target reviewer
Price: $449.99 (available in five colors)
23. A pair of sturdy and stylish steel bar stools because no home is complete without plenty of seating for guests. While these stools might be minimalist in nature, they can hold up to 250 pounds each.
Promising review: "These stools were exactly what I wanted for my modern farmhouse kitchen— they are sturdy, easy to clean, don't take up much space, and have a nice finish that blends well with stainless steel— they have a distressed look and don't show fingerprints. A great buy!" —Target reviewer
Price: $125 (available in eight colors)
24. A two-tiered round coffee table so you have plenty of room to place your drinks and snacks and/or to prop your feet, while also having an under-shelf to display that chess board you're so proud of or your favorite coffee table books.
Promising review: "Beautiful table. Perfect size for a small apartment. The wood is smooth and a perfect natural, warm color. Chrome/silver is not shiny which works well in my mixed metals living room. BONUS: it comes pre-assembled. Overall, great quality and would anchor any living space." —Target reviewer
25. A stylish 60-inch TV stand that's great for displaying your TV and organizing your favorite electronics, coffee table books, and living room decor.
Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I absolutely LOVE this product! Super high quality and easy to assemble. Instructions are easy to understand and I was able to put it together in under two hours by myself! Very happy with my purchase! Would highly recommend!!" —Target reviewer
Price: $400 (available in four colors)
26. A hammered metal accent table to add a stylish element to your space while also designating another area to set beverages and displace decor.
Promising review: "This is a very lovely piece for my living room. It's well-made and hollow. It's classy and understated but perfectly useful and just so cool. It reminds me of a can of soup. Sturdy. Love it!" —Target reviewer
Price: $80 (available in three colors)
27. A three-drawer dresser that's so stylish, you'll be glad to have it in the background of all your bedroom selfies. Each drawer has a textured face and can fit plenty of bras, socks, undies, and the like. And, if you're like this person, you can even use it as a nightstand!
Promising review: "I'm not one to leave reviews, but this piece from Opalhouse is so amazing. This freaking dresser looks SO GOOD. It looks SO expensive. It is pretty dang big for a three-drawer. Honestly, looks up three drawer dressers on luxury furniture sites, and they cost two to three times as much, and this is honestly just as good as any designer furniture I've ever seen. I'm such a huge fan." —Target reviewer
28. A Serta office chair because working from home shouldn't wreak havoc on your back. This 360-swivel chair is designed with lumbar support, so you'll feel cozy all day long.
Promising review: "I am working remotely from home and this chair does the job. I am sometimes on my computer for more than eight hours at a time and this is super comfortable. It is expensive, but you're getting what you paid for in the end. There is no substitute for quality. I highly recommend this office chair to anyone who has to sit for long periods of time. I am also on the heavier side of things, and it supports me very well." —Target reviewer
Price: $233.99 (originally $259.99, available in nine colors)
29. A set of two faux leather dining chairs that will add undeniable style and comfort to your dining room. While each chair weighs less than 14 pounds, they're able to support up to 250 pounds each.
Promising review: "I just got these chairs and I couldn't be more in love! They're so adorable and surprisingly comfy. Exactly what we needed in our apartment." —Target reviewer
30. A nightstand with a built-in charging station so you can stop stressing over where you last placed your charging block. Simply plug in the cord and you're good to go.
Promising review: "Worth every penny! I see why it kept selling out! This little thing is HEAVY! My daughter loves the USB plug also. Great buy!" —Target reviewer
31. An entryway storage bench to give you a place to set your shoes when you're not wearing them, as well as a spot to sit down and put them on when it's time to head out. The unassuming silhouette has a simple modern appeal and the top pops open for even more storage.

As our children grow they will be introduced to situations where having a strong sense of self and the well-being of others will help them to make well thought out decisions. Each of the storybooks within the Miss Danielle's Preschoolbuds collection are meticulously crafted to impart educational and social lessons that help children address everyday challenges – all through the experiences of each story's fun-filled characters. When you enter the warm and nurturing world of Miss Danielle's Preschoolbuds, you and your child will share in experiencing stories that encourage children to foster their academic skills, as well as develop their good citizenship. Each Preschoolbuds title sensitively addresses issues, challenges and concepts that are central in child development. Caring, sharing, acceptance, empathy and preparing children to exhibit kindness towards their peers and family are central themes throughout Danielle's storybooks.
Recently, the Department of Education has embraced the importance of Character Education for students in the Elementary and Primary Grades. The Miss Danielle's Preschoolbuds book series meets this new imperative. As an educator and author who has worked with hundreds of families and children, Danielle Lindner firmly believes that character education should begin in the preschool years – and not wait for elementary school to apply this method of study to build character and self-confidence. Children as young as 18 months begin to learn about the world around them, gain a sense of self and learn how they and their actions fit into this complex world we live in. Giving young children a fun, engaging, educational and exciting way to learn about themselves, the world and others is the mission of Miss Danielle's Preschoolbuds – and we are delighted to have you and yours join with us.
Welcome to our Miss Danielle's Preschoolbuds resource section. Here you will find specific curriculum materials based on Danielle Lindner's acclaimed children's book series designed to foster your child's independence, self-discipline and motivation. Her series has also been made into a wonderful television program that can currently be seen on the Children's Television Network, a network specifically created for children's hospitals and the well known Children's Miracle Network.
Separating from a parent can be very difficult for a little one and parent, especially when it's time for the first day of school. Tango explores the feelings that both parent and child have during the first days of preschool and explains what happens during each of their days, so that it's easy for a child to understand why they are in school, what fun they will have, what they will learn, that they are safe, and most important, that mom or dad will be back at the end of each day. It also acknowledged the fact that separation anxiety is not just something that a child goes through. Separation anxiety in almost all cases involved the parents feelings as well.
Children often struggle with feelings of insecurity at some point in their childhood. When children feel that there is something about them that makes them "different" from the others in their peer group, they often express fear, sadness and anger. Some children are afraid that they are too short, too tall or just don't fit in. One of the most important things we can teach our children is that our differences make us special. In Arabelle, The bat with the most wonderful pink glasses, Arabelle struggles with the idea that if she has to wear glasses, she will not be the same as her friends and they will taunt and tease her. She quickly learns that we are all different in our own special way, and, in fact, having new pink glasses proves to be absolutely wonderful!
Sofia the Snail – The little snail that was afraid of the dark.
Helping children overcome the fear of a dark room can be a daunting task for parents, making bedtime a nightly chore. Sofia the snail, "The little snail who was afraid of the dark," is a charming story that addresses a child's fear of bedtime darkness. The colorful pages and poetic tale offers parents a whimsical way to comfort even the most nervous little sleeper.
Betsie Bee – The little bee who learned how to share in preschool, is a book for children who are either just starting school or need to learn how to share with a new friend or sibling. A child's first experience in school is often the first time they are expected to share with others, work collaboratively, and patiently wait their turn. Betsie Bee is the little bee who learns that sharing and caring for others brings wonderful rewards.
Rupert – The little puppy who ran out of tears.
Teaching our children about patience, tolerance, taking our turn and being "Ok" when things don't always go our way, can be a daunting task for parents and teachers. Rupert, The little puppy who ran out of tears is the story of a puppy who rants and raves, cries and pouts to get his way and learns that using his words is a much better way to communicate with both his teacher and his friends. He also learns that sharing, caring and communicating without his tears and with his words instead, is the way to go!
Jaxie is a happy "little" giraffe who loves playing with his friends and "fitting" in. One morning he wakes up to realize that he is not so "little" anymore. He is afraid that he may not "fit" in with his friends as well as he did before he grew so tall. As the story progresses, Jaxie realizes that being tall or short both have their advantages. Jaxie finds out that being happy with yourself is the biggest advantage of all.
Koby the little blue kangaroo is a lot like many of our children who spend much of the day being worried. Koby worries about things like being late for school, or forgetting his lunch. He worries about losing a friend or losing a game. He even worries about not worrying. With his worries keeping his mind busy and his tummy in a tizzy, Koby comes to learn that worrying really doesn't change any of the things he worries about. With a little practice, he changes his worries into happy thoughts. Koby doesn't stop worrying forever, but he sure worries a lot less!
The Holidays are the perfect time to teach children about the joys of giving! Children and even adults can get so caught up in the excitement of getting that they may forget about the joys of giving, particularly to those less fortunate. The Kind Kids Celebrate the Holidays – The Joys of Giving is a beautifully illustrated book that helps parents and educators share the true meaning of the holidays… sharing, caring and enjoying family and friends. Arabelle, Koby, Sofia and all of her friends learn what fun it is to fill a box with toys and books for other little boys and girls while enjoying the festive holiday season with family in Niceville. This book is sure to capture the hearts of both young and old alike.

Арнольд Схолтен (; 5 декабря 1962, Хертогенбос, Нидерланды) — нидерландский футболист, полузащитник.

Клубная карьера
Профессиональную карьеру начал в клубе «Ден Босх», за который выступал с 1983 по 1986 год и провёл 74 матча в чемпионате Нидерландов, в которых забил 10 голов. Летом 1986 года подписал контракт с амстердамским «Аяксом». В составе клуба стал обладателем Кубка обладателей кубков УЕФА и Кубка Нидерландов 1987 года, а в сезоне 1989/90 стал чемпионом страны. После окончания сезона Схолтен покинул «Аякс» и перешёл в роттердамский «Фейеноорд». За 5 лет в «Фейеноорде» провёл за команду 165 матчей и забил 20 голов в чемпионате страны, выиграл 4 национальных кубка, стал чемпионом и обладателем Суперкубка Нидерландов.

В финальном матче Схолтен появился на поле на 67-й минуте при счёте 1:1, с которым и закончилось основное и дополнительное время матча. В серии послематчевых пенальти он реализовал свой удар, однако это не помогло команде и «Аякс» уступил «Ювентусу» в серии пенальти со счётом 2:4.

Летом 1997 года отправился в Японию, где стал игроком местного клуба «ДЖЕФ Юнайтед Итихара Тиба», за который сыграл 48 матчей и забил 2 гола в чемпионате Японии.

IN HOT SUMMER COMING YOU CAN BE THANKFUL FOR THESE BROTHERS?
Did you know that the Goldberg Brothers were the inventors of the automobile air conditioner?
Here's a little factoid for automotive buffs or just to dazzle your friends.
The four Goldberg brothers: Lowell, Norman, Hiram and Max, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner in 1946.
July 17, 1946, the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees when the four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter.
Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car. They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately.
The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent.
The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed.
Old man Ford was not willing to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords and so they haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million — and that just their first names would be shown.
And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show — Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max — on the controls.
Hope you had a good laugh, and a good day.
Laughter keeps us in a good frame in our lives and day. Enjoy your day and cause it to be the kind of day you can revel in!

We all find ourselves faced with conflict at one time or another. These suggestions may help you bring power and resolution to an upset. Usually when we are confronted with a conflict our emotional responses are quickly triggered.
1. Timing is critical – it is unwise to attempt to solve conflict when emotions are running very high. When you find yourself involved in an "emotionally-charged" confrontation or conflict with another, suggest that you schedule a time to discuss and resolve the conflict.
2. Be Open and Honest – remember the reason you are having a conflict is because you both had a different idea or opinion about something. When you attempt to resolve the conflict its helps if you are willing to listen carefully and hear the other person's point of view. When you are not concerned with being "right" or "winning" you are empowered and open to other possibilities. Being open and honest allows for compromise and resolution.
3. Share Common Goals – find the common ground. Remember you are both seeking the same goal — a relationship win. This is not a power struggle.
4. Use Active Listening Skills – using active listening and allowing the other to speak freely without interruption sets a good basis for a win-win situation. Acknowledge what the other person has said and indicate that you heard and understood them.
5. Avoid YOU Statements – Using you statements is inflammatory and suggests you are blaming the other person. Using "I" statements sets an safe tone and allows the other to know how you feel when you speak in the first person, e.g., "I feel sad when we disagree". "You" statements will get you nowhere fast and may escalate the situation.
6. Speak and behave in a calm manner – in combination with the other suggestions above, this helps move the discussion forward to resolution. Seek a win-win outcome.
7. Allow for Breaks or Time-outs – when emotions become too strong, either person can request a "time-out." A time-out is a better choice than allowing the conflict to escalate and become unmanageable.
8. Brainstorm Solutions – there is generally more than one way to accomplish something. Together you can collaborate about possible solutions to the conflict. Do not discard ideas as stupid, but rather employ typical brain storming strategy in which all solutions are noted, and let the good ones rise to the top through discussion.
9. Leave the Past in the Past – anything that is not connected with the current conflict should not be discussed. Stay in the present moment with the current topic. Bringing up the past does not help you when attempting resolving conflicts. Instead bringing up the past just gives you more than one topic or problem to try to resolve. Stay focused and stay in the present.
lO. Be Willing to Consider Compromise – Be willing to meet in the middle and to find comfortable, acceptable common ground. It is rare that conflicts end up on one side or the other.
Over time, thinking the same thoughts and doing the same things can stymy creative thought and possibility creation. Not only do we frequently get stuck in the routines of thought and patterns of activity, but neurological patterns and conditioning are created. Neurologically stored patterns can be far more difficult to break or change, hence, the need for a pattern interrupt.
A pattern interrupt (also sometimes called a confusion technique) is an interruption, often unexpected, in the flow or sequence of activity or thought. The purpose of such an interrupt is to allow for changes from the normal routine of activity and thought processes, to weaken an old strategy or repetitive thought process and to create a space for a new change, possibility or pattern imprinting.
Stress overeating can be a response to a patterned or conditioned thought process. When a person who has this pattern neurologically embedded becomes stressed it would be possible to interrupt the pattern before the overeating starts. At the first sign of stress, a predetermined activity can be initiated causing the offending stimulus to lose its effect and power.
In NLP and in life coaching a pattern interrupt is a powerful tool that disarms a person's knee jerk defense mechanisms and programmed responses. A pattern interrupt gives people the power to change their behaviors, actions, thoughts, opinions and decisions. A pattern interrupt is generally something that is completely unexpected, provocative and attention grabbing.
To be clear, a pattern interrupt is not an installation of a new pattern, it merely creates the space for a new pattern to be generated. Pattern interrupts or breaks are generally time sensitive, meaning you have little time to install a new pattern before your established neurological patterns resumes and you are back where you started.
Whether we are life coaches, managers, mothers, fathers or friends we often want to "empower" others. Individuals may grow up not being acknowledged, complimented or celebrated which results in their inability to hear, receive or believe positive feedback and compliments.
In this blog I will discuss 7 skills that can be used to help empower and strengthen others. You can use these same skills to empower yourself.
1. Focus, acknowledge and compliment strengths. Most of us are guilty of focusing others' weaknesses or perceived failures instead of their strengths. Help the other person by focus on what they are doing correctly. Ask them what things are going well for them? Ask them what they feel they have done well in the pas week or month? Help them remember and celebrate their "wins." Ask if they helped someone to achieve a positive result? Were they "there" when a friend needed someone to have their back? Ask them to remember achievements and strengths.
At work, if you are the manager, be sure to acknowledge (and if possible in front of coworkers) when your employee has done something well. Compliment effort. Compliment intention to provide value. Compliment them on their commitment and loyalty. Compliment them on creativity. Encouragement and compliments go a long way. Everyone has something you can compliment them for.
When people feel empowered, validated, confident and valuable it is much easier for them to review, admit and work on areas of challenge.
2. Standing for Another – being an advocate. There is no more powerful way to empower a person than 'standing with' them or 'standing for' them and their possibilities they wish to create.
When we stand for another, we remind them of their stated goals and their power to achieve them. Standing "for" another can give them a renewed energy and focus to move forward with power toward their goals, a more fulfilling life and toward achieving their full potential. We stand for them, being their advocate when they have temporarily lost their focus.
3. Reframing. Everyone has a "story," Everyone constructs "stories" everyday that help them makes sense out of interactions and behaviors. In our attempt to synthesize and understand the world and relationships around us we construct these stories and attach our perceived meaning of the story. In essence, we are meaning-making-machines and story-tellers. The art of reframing is the interjection of a different point of view or possibility.
When we can "move" someone into a place of trying on new possibilities, we open a whole world of opportunity for them. The best way to help someone reframe an event is to ASK QUESTIONS, not give your opinions or viewpoints about what happened. Installing new positively charged language for the old language helps us change-up the story we are telling ourselves.
Reframing involves changing the context, behavior or motivation of the story. For instance, in NLP we often ask clients who are remembering (or recounting) a stressful situation with an angry person to try to image that person talking with a cartoon characters voice. By doing this it takes the emotional charge out of the story and the person can then deal more with the facts of what happened than the emotions.
Reframing is about seeing something differently and putting a new spin on it; taking a negative and putting it into a positive frame. Reframes are compelling and powerful.
We all think we know what is best for another (a child, a family member, friend or coworker). "If they would only listen to me," is a common mantra. The real truth is that we are not "tasked" with making another person's life "work." We DO NOT KNOW what is best for them, what the best course or path for them is, we do not know what music or possibility they have inside of them, nor do we know what their purpose or mission in life is. When we "think" we do, we are attempting to 'control' another. Control is not helpful or loving.
In life coaching, one of the very presuppositions is that every person holds their own keys to answers and success in their lives. No one else has their keys and answers… just them. The coaches responsibility is to help the client discover and bring forth their answers. Wouldn't it be great if parents and managers and friends could help those close to them also bring forth "what is inside" of the other?
In NLP there is a presupposition that states, "that everyone is always doing their best with the resources and to them." This is a powerful presupposition. It is not necessarily a truth, but a presupposition. If we could suppose that this is true, what becomes available to us and to them? If we could believe that everyone is always doing their best what becomes possible for us and for them?
5. Possibility thinking – bridging the gap. Possibility thinking is what helps us bridge the gap from where we are now and where we want to be. Being in the middle of the gap can be frustrating, perhaps even disabling. We can know where we want to go, but have no clue how to jump to the other side. People you know and interact with daily are stuck in the middle of that gap, too. People are often stuck in patterns of behavior and ways of being that were once fine and served them well, but are now constraining and hindering.
Very often a "pattern interrupt" is what is required to break the habit of thinking the way we have always been thinking, to think and create something new.
If you drive to work using one path each day, mix it up. If you always have the same morning routing, mix it up. If you have the same process or procedures at work, be willing to ask staff how it can be mixed up and made better. Be willing to try and explore new and even crazy ideas.
Breaking patterns, ways of thinking and ways of being give you the creative space to launch new possibilities.
Did You Know There are 6 Types of Conversations?
We use six different types of conversation daily. What kind of communication is "best-serving" you?
1. Sharing. When we share, we communicate what we are thinking and how we are currently feeling. It is essentially a snapshot of where you are right now. Powerful people (including coaches) ask about how you are and what is going on. This doesn't mean that they want to listen to a diary of blow-by-blow events, usually a short, concise summary will be sufficient. When people give quick superficial answers or go into long details both responses conceal who you are in this moment. When people you are connecting with attempt either of these tactics ask them to be genuine in this moment and not give a report or an expected quick response. Ask the other person to condense or expand the communication accordingly. Candid, yet brief sharing is the goal.
When individuals connect in an authentic, deep way it is a rare and sacred experience and allows them to be fully present in this moment with you and others. Take time for people … then listen, don't fix or suggest actions, just hold the space for listening. Let the other be and felt heard. Create a safe, neutral space in which the person can be heard.
Would "holding space" for your friend or client be empowering or disempowering for them?
2. Debriefing. This is the history (list of details) that you are asking to be shared since you last saw this individual (or client). This is much like the 5 o'clock news. The individual will give a clear and concise report of what has happened, who they saw, where they went and, importantly, what is working and what is not working. Everyone benefits from debriefing. In debriefing we get to celebrate our successes, forgive any mistakes, release the "junk" we have collected and set new goals.
Debriefing with a variety of safe people yields great results. You will feel refreshed and free. If you are uncomfortable debriefing to others trying using a journal, or a video or tape recorder. Create some space for yourself away from the clutter and noise of the daily routine.
Sharing tends to be brief, debriefing is a laundry list of actions, while clearing can fall in between being brief or lengthy. Clearing, unlike debriefing, generally focuses on a single event or a couple, not a list of them. Clearing focuses on the event and your emotional response to it.
Clearing is a way to get "clutter" out of the way to have a more focused conversation or discussion.
For obvious reasons debate is not typically part of an effective coaching practice, while query and discussion are effective in coaching because the pauses and reflections allow for the 'flow through' of a deeper, more unexpected conversation. Never force your opinion or ideas on another… resistance [and alienation] is an expected response.
Consider Socrates method of inquiry: To create discussion and debate for the purpose of deeper thinking about common human conditions and challenges.
5. Teaching. Teaching occurs both formally and informally. We attend classes, workshops, virtual webinars and so forth for the purpose of being 'taught.' Informal teaching occurs when someone we are with knows something that we don't and we want to know what we don't know, we ask them to share it with us.
Sharing, debate and discussion typically occur within the construct of teaching. Coaches, in particularly, are cautioned about becoming "a source of wisdom" for their clients. Coaches all "know" the client has all the answers inside of themselves and becoming the key source for wisdom can disempower the client from their own knowing. However, teaching in a coaching construct can be effective in small doses.
6. The Coaching Conversation is a conversation in which the coach discusses what the client wants for the future along with ways to bring that result forward [without getting advice].
The coaching conversation may include things like creative thinking, generating multiple options, new behavior generators, problem solving and, in general, experimenting with different strategies. Often you generate what you don't want in order to define what you do want.
A successful coach is one who listens fully, giving occasional feedback, and permits the client to have a safe, neutral space in which to explore, examine and create.

Miko Veldkamp
3 September - 8 October 2016
Galerie Rianne Groen is proud to present a solo exhibition with new work by Miko Veldkamp.
Miko Veldkamp's paintings have a nostalgic, dreamy quality, but at the same time are very straightforward and direct in their execution and content. Though they pay homage to the heritage of painting by combining various genres and categorical styles, they seem to have an inner logic, a DNA of their own, in which thick layers, smooth surfaces and light transparent brushstrokes alternate and complement each other.
Veldkamp uses observations and conversations equally as starting points for a work. He then paints from memory and without hesitation, to get the purest possible rendering of a single mental image.
For his recent body of work Miko Veldkamp has loosely drawn inspiration from the paintings of L.S. Lowry and the clay sculptures of Fischli and Weiss, to evoke an everyday kind of industrialism, but one that is global and on coffee and steroids. Most of the works are painted on the same size canvas to minimize hierarchy between the images. Underneath this self-imposed restriction a broader, open-ended narrative occurs. Imagery of immigrants on a small boat alternate a painting of the pope taking selfies, without placing more value on one or the other.
Miko Veldkamp lives and works in Rotterdam and New York. He was a resident at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam in 2012 and 2013, and was awarded the Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University in 2014/15. Veldkamps work has been shown in the United States and the Netherlands.

Virtual Friends - monemades Webseite!
The past two summers I was so lucky that during our summer holidays we went to places where friends of mine from the Ravelry forum live. What a pleasure to finally get to know 'virutal friends' in person - people I had the feeling I had known so well already and it was an awesome experience. Virtual friends turned into real ones and needless to say that since we met I was pondering on a special gift to remember the day. So I did what I do best: I knit socks. Lots of them. And today the first pair arrived at its new home in Canada.
Evey loves autumn colours, so this skein of Mountain Colors Bearfoot in colourway 'Gold Rush' seemed to be the perfect choice - and based on her reaction I chose the right yarn.

Business models in the insurance industry are undergoing significant changes. Highlighted are five major trends that drive this evolution.
Connected customers expect an efficient (speed, simplicity), engaging (fun, using natural interfaces) and seamless experience (anything, anywhere, anytime). They also ask for services customized to their needs, with the ability to turn cover on and off (personalization, with transparency on trade-offs).
Data analytics has made significant progress from statistical reasoning to machine learning. It can be leveraged to extract information from large amounts of structured and unstructured data and identify patterns. For instance, the analysis of customer data can deliver valuable insights in terms of segmentation and behaviors. The combination of connected sensors (car telematics, connected home, drones, etc.) with advanced analytics is enabling a dynamic modeling of risks. In the field of automation, cognitive computing coupled with robotics process automation allows for cognitive automation: computer software can collect and extract knowledge, recognize patterns, learn, adapt to new situations and automate human activities (allowing employees to focus on activities with higher value added).
The "Platformification" trend is about leveraging the power of platforms and APIs in open environments, to create new marketplaces and new ecosystems.
Insurance companies can leverage new trusted infrastructures (such as but not limited to blockchain technology) to distribute products and interact with customers without intermediaries. In addition, smart contracts can enforce the execution of business logic and support the development of parametric insurance services.
This is a global trend and various technologies that can be used to provide insurance services to underserved populations. For instance the combination of mobile technology and blockchain technology allow to deliver micro-payments and micro-insurance services.

Pro Choice and Pro Life: Equip yourself for the next fight
What's A Balanced look at Pro life and Pro Choice?
What Does Pro Choice Mean?
What Does Pro Life Means?
The pro-choice vs. pro-life debate has been going on for decades and will likely continue to live on indefinitely. There are many aspects of this discussion that cannot be ignored if the conversation is balanced. This article discusses some of those aspects, highlighting the differences and shared knowledge about the subject.
What's A Balanced look at Pro life and Pro Choice?
To be balanced, we must consider all views and opinions to conclude which sentiment is more beneficial overall. Not doing so would result in an unbalanced, biased outcome; thus, it is vital to examine every aspect thoroughly before arriving at any stance on this controversial topic.
For example, many people assume that only women choose abortion as a means of contraception (thus making them responsible when their actions lead to unwanted pregnancy). Still, recent studies have shown that men are often involved with the decision too! Pro-choice advocates may argue that men should not be interested in this decision, but pro-life advocates would say that they too must play a role of responsibility.
You may have noticed pro-life and pro-choice debates happening more frequently in the media. There are many different opinions about abortion, but regardless of whether you're pro-life or pro-choice, it's essential to know what to say when someone is challenging your opinion on this topic.
1. Pro choice is a term used to describe the stance that women should be able to make their own decisions about abortion
2. The pro choice movement began in the 1800s with feminists fighting for women's rights and access to contraception
3. The pro choice movement has been controversial because it involves terminating pregnancies, which some people see as unjustified killing
4. Many countries have laws restricting abortions, and many religious groups oppose them
5. In many cases, pro-life advocates believe that life begins at conception and, therefore, any form of termination is wrong
6. There are two main types of abortion – medical or surgical – depending on how far along the pregnancy is
7) Medical abortions involve taking drugs such as mifepristone which stops the pregnancy from growing or reduces cramping
8. Surgical abortions are usually performed in a hospital or clinic with the cervix being dilated so that instruments can be inserted
9) Abortion is legal under certain conditions in many countries, although some only allow it when continuing the pregnancy would seriously harm the mother's health
10. Other countries allow abortion after the first trimester with no restrictions
11. Abortion became legal in Britain in 1968 under certain conditions but was not fully legalized until 1990
12. In 2014, there were 189,000 abortions carried out in England and Wales
13) There are many different views about why people have abortions – some women say they experience pressure from friends, family, or partners to terminate their pregnancies because of their age or circumstances
14) Others argue that it is a woman's right to choose whether they carry an unwanted pregnancy to term and become a parent or not
15) Although hundreds of thousands of women have abortions every year, abortion remains one of the most divisive issues worldwide.
1. Pro-life is a term used to describe those who believe in the preservation of all human life, from conception until natural death
2. Pro-life advocates work to protect and promote the rights and dignity of every person, including unborn children
3. The pro-life movement also works for laws that will stop abortions by protecting women's health and safety
4. The pro-life philosophy embraces diverse views about abortion, such as opposition or support based on personal moral or religious beliefs
5. Supporters of the pro-life movement are called "pro-lifers" or "antiabortionists."
6. Pro-life people oppose abortion because they believe it is taking away an innocent human being's right to live out their natural life
7. Pro-lifers believe that all human beings are entitled to live in this world with dignity and respect regardless of whether they have a mental or physical disability, race, sexual orientation, etc. 8. Pro-life people also feel that women deserve better than abortion
9. Some pro-life advocates will not vote for any candidate who supports abortion rights or legalization
10. The majority of American's oppose abortions after the first three months (or 22 weeks) of pregnancy
11. More than half do not support abortions by week 6 (12 weeks)
12. By week 11 (24 weeks), only 7 out of every 100 polled were still supporting unrestricted abortions
13. Less than 1% supported "abortion until birth."
14. The majority of American's are pro-life by week 23 (26 weeks)
15. By week 28 (28 weeks), only 1% polled still supported unrestricted abortions
16. Around half indicated they did not support any abortions
17. Pro-life people want to decrease the number of abortions in America
Now that you better understand the key terms used in this debate, it is time to learn what each group bases its argument on. For an individual to be pro-life, they must support anti-abortion legislation and base their opinion around biblical scripture, which states life begins at conception.
Pro choice people argue from more medical standpoints as being pregnant means there is a chance of pregnancy complications or even death if a woman continues with her pregnancy. This results in them believing every woman should have the right over her own body and thus can make decisions on whether she wants to keep the baby or not. Both groups will understandably disagree, but hopefully, having read through some valuable examples will help guide your response when somebody brings up this topic.
Pro-Lifers are typically more rigid and non-compromising. In other words, they come off like traditionalists. On the other hand, pro-choice could be considered too liberal. Hopefully, one of the next generations can break that mold and create some solid middle ground. Until that time, yall know what's going to happen.
The pro-life vs. pro-choice debate will keep raging for many more decades. The truth of the matter is, there are both strong arguments to be made on either side. Supporters of each camp typically cite their own moral beliefs as justification for why they believe in what they do; however, morality can change depending on your perspective and upbringing.
For this reason, it's crucial not only to have a stance but also to understand how others may view you or your position so you don't alienate potential allies. To ensure that we avoid conflict with those who disagree with us about abortion rights, let's try these tips:
1) use language carefully
2) listen nonjudgmentally
3) identify common ground
4) find common causes and
5) practice patience.

Comment on My Wish for Akilah by Ola.
Your photos beautifully illustrated your wishes for your daughter. I haven't read this book, but it sounds like it would be beneficial for many young girls. Learning how to communicate gracefully from infancy is a huge key to getting and giving the support needed.
I usually focus on simplifying my home this time of year. But this is a great plan for simplifying your life!
Wow! You had a lot of things to purge! I completely agree that purging is necessary to organize most spaces. I love that you were able to help your Mom. I've been looking at these Glad trash bags for my kitchen. I love Febreze and already use it in my trash can. It would be nice to purchase a trash bag with it already inside.
So many children are not getting the proper nutrients. It's great that there are products like Organics Happy Tots around to help parents make the best choices for their little ones.


Images play a major role in modern website design and also images are a great way to communicate information for relaying your message. Using visual symbols to increase your conversion rates are common strategy that almost all web sites utilize. Although this being the case, and although most of the information regarding image optimization techniques are plentiful on internet, most of them fail to explain how you can and should utilize images so that Google can make the relation between your web page (and the keywords you are targeting) and your images.

Following the British and Irish Lions' shock defeat to the Blues, Warren Gatland says the All Blacks will not be that much better.
MORE: Lions suffers embarrassing upset loss to the Blues |
he Lions were beaten 22-16 on Wednesday by the Blues - the team bottom of Super Rugby's New Zealand conference.
But Gatland insists there is no shame in suffering defeat in the tour matches, which he says provide the perfect preparation for the three New Zealand Tests.
"I don't think there's going to be a huge amount of difference in quality between the Super Rugby sides and the All Blacks," he told Sky Sports.
"There's so much depth in this country.
"These teams have been together for a full season.

"For us, it was an improvement [in performance compared to the victory over the Provincial Barbarians] and I think we'll see more on Saturday as well.
"I don't think it'll be a huge step up from these Super Rugby sides. It'll give us great preparation heading into the All Blacks.
"You look back at 2013, winning warm-up games by 60 or 70 points isn't preparation for a Test match.
"This is brilliant preparation for the next few weeks."
The Lions face Super Rugby leaders the Crusaders in Christchurch on Saturday.

Watch this atmospheric tour of Cyberpunk 2077's Night City
By Andy Kelly published 9 December 20
We've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Cyberpunk 2077 has some problems, but there's no denying the density of its setting. Night City is a remarkable virtual metropolis, at least on the surface, especially when (appropriately enough) the sun sets and night falls. I've spent a lot of time just wandering the streets aimlessly, staring at NPCs, exploring dark alleyways, and admiring the monolithic architecture looming overhead. So I decided to make a short video, which is also available on YouTube, focusing on the game's incredible late night atmosphere. It's called Night City Blues, referencing my favourite track from Vangelis's haunting Blade Runner soundtrack—a film the people who made Cyberpunk 2077 clearly love as much as I do.
Andy Kelly
If it's set in space, Andy will probably write about it. He loves sci-fi, adventure games, taking screenshots, Twin Peaks, weird sims, Alien: Isolation, and anything with a good story.

What I saw was that I spelled 'Arial' wrong, instead I used, 'Ariel'. I changed it to the correct spelling, and I ran the program again and it ran fine. Would this be the problem which was causing the program to hang?


On the 22th of October it has turned a year, as the airline "Air Armenia" has been implementing transportation of passengers. This is reported by the press service of the airline "Air Armenia". The report, particularly, is transmitted as follows: "Over the past year airline "Air Armenia", as the only Armenian air carrier, served passengers implementing flights to Russia and Europe.
The year for airline "Air Armenia", as for the only Armenian air carrier, was full of both achievements and undesired, unexpected events. According to the extended information, during the summer there were taken some measures to obstruct the activity of the airline, aiming to discomfit the Armenian air carrier. This can create desirable conditions for foreign airlines to provide independent policy and monopoly control over the Armenian sky.
On September 11 of this year, through the media sources Russian air navigation stated that airline "Air Armenia" was going to be disabled to realize flights to Russian Federation since the 21th of September. This announcement caused a great harm and a lot of trouble for the only Armenian air carrier.
The statement of Russian air navigation was also spread in Armenia by the Armenian media sources, which led to the fall of airline prestige, causing huge financial losses. The statement brought up a panic among the passengers, the creditors and the debetors. Many passengers began returning already purchased air tickets. A huge mass of the passengers refused being served by the Armenian air carrier. Ticket sales dropped by, more than, 60%. While all the lenders were demanding their money back, ignoring the previous agreement on the transfer schedule, the debetors refused to transfer the money got from the air ticket sales, bringing the possibility of ticket returns as an explanation. In this case they would have to return the money back to passengers.
The two airplanes, operated by airline "Air Armenia" are now in the Netherlands, getting some maintenance. Maintenance of the airplanes is a mandatory procedure that is implemented in the framework of the agreement with the company, giving these airplanes on credit.
In addition to the panic and uncertainty of the society, A320 owners demanded the planned maintenance of an airplane and a non-planned one of another airplane as well. They insisted on holding the maintaining process in the airport of theirs so as to be safe. Surprisingly, the airline "Air Armenia" managed to find the energy, strength and resources to organize some flights with just one airplane.
The disinformation, spread by 1in.am on the 2nd of October also caused a lot of serious problems for airline "Air Armenia" causing even more losses. Air ticket sales in Armenia decreased by 80%. At the same time, many agents held the revenue in case of possible return of the money.
As a result, the profit dropped to a critical minimum, and the transportation of passengers was impossible. In this situation, the airline has decided to take some radical actions leading to financial reconstruction, flights graphic's improving until the 20th of December, making an emphasis on the flights being highly demanded.
At the current time, we plan to collect some financial sources to be able to get back the 2 A320 airplanes, so as to go live with all the flights according to the winter schedule, announced previously starting from December 20.
The only Armenian airline "Air Armenia" thanks all the loyal passengers and partners, bringing apologies for this unpleasant situation and the inconvenience.

Паровоз NSB 18 — норвежский паровоз с осевой формулой 1-4-0 производившийся с 1900 года.

Первоначально эта серия паровозов предназначалась для эксплуатации на Северной линии, но паровоз получил более широкое распространение. Всего было построено 35 паровозов трёх модификаций обозначенных 18a, 18b и 18c.

Последний паровоз этой серии был построен в 1913 году, а из эксплуатации был изъят 25 августа 1969 года. Этот паровоз, имеющий бортовой номер 255 был сохранён в техническом музее города Берген. Этот паровоз в период с 1980 по 1992 был отреставрирован Норвежским железнодорожным клубом и в настоящее время базируется на линии Gamle Vossebanen, где эксплуатируется каждое лето.

On steps using 2 deck boards per step, we recommend using 3 RetroGrip® inserts in total. 2 inserts on the steps edge and 1 on the other board, to ensure good anti slip coverage.
CLEAN YOUR DECK and pump a generous line of GeoCel The Works Adhesive or equivalent into a clean and dry decking groove, the length of each insert. A generous line of adhesive is filling the groove to within 2-3 mm of the top of the decking board / groove.
d) Place extra screws in any area of uneven decking to ensure the RetroGrip® insert is pulled down tight to the decking.
If you want to use screws, you must first drill your own screw holes using a 3mm Bosch Multi Use / Multi Purpose Screw Bit or similar to drill your screw holes.


So - I (...Sprout!) searched for a picture of my sister that I knew would not get me in trouble and this is as close as I would dare. All the other pics had expressions of "'you better not!" 'Eeebs' as she was originally dubbed (by my children), plays a big part in the creative side to make the ideas become refined. When we are "in tune" and "clicking", the cute rhymes and alliterations seem to just appear in our laps. Aunt Eeebs enjoys the signing appearances and loves reading and interfacing with the little ones very much.
Always being interested in art and creative projects, Sprout started from a young age developing products. Generally working behind the scenes, the large majority of art, layouts, coordination and marketing falls under Sprout's to-do list. Many aspects of the Dino-Buddies characters and hobbies reflect the ideals and interests of Sprout in his everyday life. Passionate about the entire Dino-Buddies adventure, every day brings an opportunity to just do something positive. .

Q: Subtracting the character before when it finds a specific letter          String secondLine = "...E......E..E.E";

The secondLine is in a txt file and therefore the E can be anywhere just after a dot depending on the number failed.
in total there is meant to be just 12 of these but java adds an E after the dot before to indicate that test was failed. I am a novice programmer and would like a loop that would go through that string to take off the dot before every E so I can integrate into my main application. The resulting output should look like this ..E.....E.EE  Thank you in advance

A: Try using String's replace method like below:
String secondLine = "...E......E..E.E";
System.out.println(secondLine.replace(".E", "E"));
Output:
..E.....E.EE

A: Use regex like this :
public static void main(String... strings) {
    String secondLine = "...E......E..E.E";
    System.out.println(secondLine.replaceAll("\\.E", "E"));
}

O/P:
..E.....E.EE
