Coccinelle S.p.A. v. Seth Wong
The Complainant is Coccinelle S.p.A. of Sala Baganza, Italy, represented by Fieldfisher LLP, Italy.
The Respondent is Seth Wong of Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States of America.
The disputed domain name <coccinellehandbags.com> (the "Domain Name") is registered with PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com (the "Registrar").
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on September 13, 2017. On September 13, 2017, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the Domain Name. On September 14, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details.
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2 and 4, the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on September 20, 2017. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5, the due date for Response was October 10, 2017. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent's default on October 12, 2017.
The Center appointed Karen Fong as the sole panelist in this matter on October 17, 2017. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
The Complainant is an Italian fashion company established in Parma since 1978. It produces women's handbags and accessories under the brand COCCINELLE. The COCCINELLE products are sold in standalone shops as well as renowned international department stores. The products are also sold online through their website "www.coccinelle.com".
The Complainant has trade mark registrations for COCCINELLE in more than 70 countries globally including the USA where the Respondent is based (the "Trade Mark"). The earliest registration in Italy dates back to 1982. The Complainant also owns a portfolio of domain names which consists of or includes the Trade Mark as the second level domain.
The Complainant invests a considerable amount annually on advertising and promotional activity globally in connection with its brand. As a result of this and its extensive sales, it has become a well-known brand globally.
The Domain Name was registered on May 15, 2017. The website that was connected to the Domain Name (the "Website") offered for sale and purported to sell COCCINELLE handbags and purses at heavily discounted (65%) prices. There were no contact details on the Website. The social media icons on the Website did not work. In the course of writing the decision, the Website was disabled and became inactive.
The Complainant contends that the Domain Name is identical to the Trade Mark, that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests with respect to the Domain Name and that the Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith. The Complainant requests the transfer of the Domain Name.
According to paragraph 4(a) of the Policy, for this Complaint to succeed in relation to the Domain Name, the Complainant must prove each of the following, namely that:
(i) The Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to a trade mark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and
(ii) The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name; and
(iii) The Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith.
B. Identical or Confusingly Similar
The Panel is satisfied that the Complainant has established that it has registered and unregistered rights to the Trade Mark.
The threshold test for confusing similarity involves the comparison between the trade mark and the domain name itself to establish if the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to Complainant's trademark. The trade mark would generally have to be recognizable within the domain name. In this case the Domain Name integrates the Complainant's distinctive trademark COCCINELLE in its entirety plus the descriptive term "handbags". For the purposes of assessing identity and confusing similarity under paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy, it is permissible for the Panel to ignore the generic Top-Level Domain ("gTLD"). In any event, the addition of a descriptive term "handbags" does not negate the confusing similarity encouraged by the Respondent's complete integration of the Trade Mark in the Domain Name. E.g. N.V. Organon Corp. V. Vitalline Trading Ltd., Dragic Veselin / PrivacyProtect.org, WIPO Case No. D2011-0260; Oakley, Inc. V. wu bingjie aka bingjie wu/ Whois Privacy Protection Service, WIPO Case No. D2010-0093; X-ONE B.V. v. Robert Modic, WIPO Case No. D2010-0207.
The Panel finds that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to a trade mark in which the Complainant has rights and that the requirements of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy therefore are fulfilled.
C. Rights or Legitimate Interests
Pursuant to paragraph 4(c) of the Policy, a respondent may establish rights to or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name by demonstrating any of the following:
(i) before any notice to it of the dispute, the respondent's use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or
(ii) the respondent has been commonly known by the domain name, even if it has acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) the respondent is making a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain, to misleadingly divert consumers, or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.
Although the Policy addresses ways in which a respondent may demonstrate rights or legitimate interests in a disputed domain name, it is well established, as it is put in section 2.1 of the WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Third Edition ("WIPO Overview 3.0"), that a complainant is required to make out a prima facie case that the respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. Once such prima facie case is made, the burden of production shifts to the respondent to come forward with appropriate allegations or evidence demonstrating rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. If the respondent does come forward with some allegations of evidence of relevant rights or legitimate interests, the panel weighs all the evidence, with the burden of proof always remaining on the complainant.
The Complainant alleges that the Respondent is not commonly known by the Domain Name. The Complainant has no commercial link with the Respondent. It has not granted the Respondent any authorization, licence or any right whatsoever to use the Trade Mark as part of the Domain Name. Nor is it an authorised dealer, licensee or distributor of the Complainant. It appears to be a reseller of products bearing the Trade Mark at a heavily discounted price.
Section 2.8.1 of the WIPO Overview 3.0 says this:
"Panels have recognized that resellers, distributors, or service providers using a domain name containing the complainant's trademark to undertake sales or repairs related to the complainant's goods or services may be making a bona fide offering of goods and services and thus have a legitimate interest in such domain name. Outlined in the "Oki Data test", the following cumulative requirements will be applied in the specific conditions of a UDRP case:
(i) the respondent must actually be offering the goods or services at issue;
(ii) the respondent must use the site to sell only the trademarked goods or services;
(iii) the site must accurately and prominently disclose the registrant's relationship with the trademark holder; and
(iv) the respondent must not try to "corner the market" in domain names that reflect the trademark.
The Oki Data test does not apply where any prior agreement, express or otherwise, between the parties expressly prohibits (or allows) the registration or use of domain names incorporating the complainant's trademark."
In this case, there was nothing on the Website explaining the relationship between the Complainant and the Respondent. Indeed there was no information on the Website about the Respondent. Owing to the fact that the Website was offering for sale what looks like the Complainant's handbags and has images that look like they could be from the Complainant's website, it does appear to the Panel that the content of the Website was intended to mislead Internet users into thinking that there is a connection between the Complainant and the Respondent. The Panel finds the Oki Data principles are not satisfied in this case.
The Panel finds that the Complainant has made out a prima facie case, a case calling for an answer from the Respondent. The Respondent has not responded and the Panel is unable to conceive of any basis upon which the Respondent could sensibly be said to have any rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name.
The Panel finds that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name.
D. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
To succeed under the Policy, a complainant must show that the Domain Name has been both registered and is being used in bad faith. It is a double requirement.
The Panel is satisfied that the Respondent must have been aware of the Complainant's trade mark when it registered the Domain Name. It is implausible that it was unaware of the Complainant when it registered the Domain Name. The primary significance of the meaning of the Trade Mark is its reference to the Complainant's trade mark and company name. In the WIPO Overview 3.0, section 3.2.2 states as follows:
"Noting the near instantaneous and global reach of the Internet and search engines, and particularly in circumstances where the complainant's mark is widely known (including in its sector) or highly specific and a respondent cannot credibly claim to have been unaware of the mark (particularly in the case of domainers), panels have been prepared to infer that the respondent knew, or have found that the respondent should have known, that its registration would be identical or confusingly similar to a complainant's mark. Further factors including the nature of the domain name, the chosen top-level domain, any use of the domain name, or any respondent pattern, may obviate a respondent's claim not to have been aware of the complainant's mark."
Given that the Respondent is selling products bearing the Trade Mark, it is clearly inconceivable that the Domain Name was selected by the Respondent without the Complainant in mind. As outlined under the second element above, there is a clear absence of rights or legitimate interests coupled with no credible explanation for the Respondent's choice of the Domain Name, which is also a significant factor to consider (as stated in section 3.1.1 of WIPO Overview 3.0). The Domain Name falls into the category stated above and the Panel finds that registration is in bad faith
The Panel also concludes that the actual use of the Domain Names was also in bad faith. The use of the Complainant's trade mark as the dominant part of the Domain Name is intended to capture Internet traffic from Internet users who are looking for the Complainant's product. The Domain Name and the content of the Website are calculated to confuse Internet users into believing that the Respondent is somehow connected to the Complainant when this is not the case. It is also likely that the goods sold on the Website are counterfeit given that they are heavily discounted. The social media icons not working on the Website is another indicator of a typical cybersquatter website. There are no contact details on the Website which could suggest that personal data and credit card details entered by customers could potentially be collected and used for nefarious purposes. The lack of response by the Respondent is another indicator of typical cybersquatter behaviour. There is a clear intention on the part of the Respondent to attract Internet users for commercial gain by confusing and misleading them into believing that the Website and the products sold on them were authorised or endorsed by the Complainant.
The above is clearly bad faith under paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy. The Panel notes that the fact that, at the time of the decision, the Domain Name does not resolve to an active website, does not prevent a finding of the Respondent's bad faith in the present circumstances.
The Panel concludes that the Respondent's registration and use of the Domain Name are in bad faith.
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the Domain Name, <coccinellehandbags.com> be transferred to the Complainant.

← UK's European policy – already broken? or magician's distraction?
Last week an article in the Washington Post stirred what seemed like quite a Twitter buzz, lamenting the effects of "the disastrous nonintervention in Syria". The article is angry and vivid about the misery and destruction wrought by war in Syria. It blames the war's continuation largely on the US deciding not to intervene in the war. It is an argument that could become influential so it's worth examining.
As the misery in Syria mounts, the pain of standing by and doing nothing only increases. Especially with Russian bombing and Turkish forces in northern Syria reportedly achieving some of those intervenors' objectives, the sense that it is just wrong of the US and various European states to stand aside can easily grow. In June a group of 51 mid-level US State Department officials publicly criticised the US for not doing more. Also in June, a report from The Century Foundation, "a progressive, nonpartisan think tank", made the case for robust military intervention in Syria.
"Maybe a U.S.-British-French intervention would have ended in disaster. If so, we would today be mourning the consequences. But sometimes it's important to mourn the consequences of nonintervention too. Three years on, we do know, after all, exactly what nonintervention has produced".
The trouble is that the argument is based on a huge fallacy. The West is not in non-intervention mode in Syria.
Through the CIA and in cooperation with Saudi Arabia and other Arab governments, the US has been attempting to train and equip Syrian rebels since 2013, according to the New York Times. Another source says the decision to do this was taken on 1 August 2012. In 2014 it launched a bigger and, as it turned out, embarrassingly unsuccessful train-and-equip programme through the Department of Defense.
In September 2014, the US began bombing targets in northern Syria together with Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and UAE, joined in 2015 by France and the UK after the November terrorist attacks in Paris.
US special forces have been operating in Syria at least since 2015 and probably earlier. There are 300 there now. British and French special forces are also there working with the Americans.
A critic of Western policy towards Syria can legitimately argue that the intervention should be carried out differently – that it should be more robust, for example – but to speak and write as if no intervention is occurring at all simply defies the facts.
From the outset, Anne Applebaum's article sets up the August 2013 UK House of Commons vote not to support a missile and bombing campaign against Syria because of the use of nerve gas as the key moment that stymied intervention. As the normally predictable British support for intervention evaporated, President Obama, already reluctant about intervention, likewise wobbled.
It bears recalling that the vote was not against intervention; it was actually a vote to be sure of the evidence about alleged Syrian use of nerve gas, be sure of UN approval and be sure that there was a reasonable exit strategy before intervening. Prime Minister's Cameron hasty reaction transformed it from a tightly defined argument about the conditions under which to act into opposition to acting.
The interventionist arguments that got the most support at the time were likewise tightly defined. The mainstream preference was action not to overthrow Assad but to deter future use of chemical weapons. My view at the time was that this was nonsense. Intervention for deterrence purposes has a poor track record and the idea of intervening in a civil war without affecting its outcome is eccentric. The strongest arguments in favour of intervention were simply not strong enough. Looking back, many and perhaps most of those who supported strikes against Syria over use of chemical weapons probably did so in order to the first step on a bigger interventionist road.
Here we come to the crux. The honesty of the Applebaum article – "Maybe a U.S.-British-French intervention would have ended in disaster" – is welcome; it is much preferable to Senator John McCain's confidence that Raqqa could and should be retaken from ISIS by "some few thousand" American troops in alliance with "a number of the Sunni Arab countries, including Turkey" (and there are so many things wrong with that sentence). But that honesty crashes the interventionist argument.
The Just War tradition expresses criteria for thinking about war that have become more or less common sense values in how we normally think about issues such as military aggression, the authority to intervene and atrocities. Some of the criteria are fundamental moral questions – just cause, right intention, right authority. Others are contingent (last resort) and prudential. Such is the criterion that there should be a reasonable expectation of success. Closely allied with it, the other prudential consideration is that entering and pursuing the war should do more good than harm.
Compared to those two considerations, the idea of using armed force, while realising it might be disastrous, because it is so painful to stand by and watch a tragedy unfold is not a serious argument. It is a glib case for cleansing the national conscience. It is perhaps not as shallow and certainly not as cynical as the argument that the US should ramp up its use of force in Syria because, even if it fails, it will make the point that the US is "back".
At present, the US, France and Britain are militarily engaged inside Syria. Their use of force is limited and their objectives seem local and tactical. It is, not surprisingly, beginning to attract considerable criticism that it is shaped as a compromise between the opposing alternatives of doing nothing except to provide humanitarian assistance, on the one hand, and of setting out to defeat ISIS and overthrow Assad, on the other, and then handle everything that comes after the war is "over".
Through all this, the reality remains that using force is always a serious thing. It kills people. And it does not always solve the problem. It sometimes generates a new and worse problem.
I am confident that missiles strikes and bombing in Syria in 2013 with the limited aim of deterring future use of chemical weapons would have failed. However, it is, to be as frank as Anne Applebaum, unclear to me whether US and Western intervention with a broader strategic intention would fail – or succeed in such a way that its consequences would be a continuing burden of pain and misery for Syrians and many others. Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya all give strong grounds for thinking it would. But there is no certainty either way.
In such circumstances, opting not to use force, or at least to limit its use very tightly, is preferable in every way to letting slip the dogs of intervention. And in the meantime every effort has to go into searching for the unlikely prospect and eventual necessity of a political settlement. It is an uncomfortable place to end the argument but it is the only place.

Clear, focused analysis Dan – thanks. The references to Just War principles are particularly helpful. Overall here's hoping your coda – a call to keep international attention focused on the search for what you rightly describe as 'the eventual necessity of a political settlement' – gets as much attention as your measured critique of the argument(s) for ramping up current levels of Western military engagement in Syria.
Arguing to do nothing to protect people is effectively the same as taking the side of Assad.
I used to be a Quaker too. I'm glad I've given it up.
Pacifism in this situation is immoral.

Blandwood Mansion
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating Based on 73 Reviews
Blandwood is the oldest standing example of Italianate architecture in the United States. Originally constructed in 1795, Blandwood later served as NC Governor John Motley Morehead's home and was subsequently expanded according to plans drawn by nationally renowned architect Alexander Jackson Davis of New York.
All tours are guided by trained docents, who will take you through the restored main building including the 1795 farmhouse section, the 1822 addition, and the A.J. Davis addition. Tours also include the two reconstructed dependencies: NC Gov. John Morehead's law office and the kitchen. Both buildings were recreated using the original plans and evidence of foundations discovered during an archaeological dig in 1984. The house provides visitors with a remarkably thorough ensemble of 19th-century art, architecture, furnishings, and landscape.

Over 1200 haemophiliacs were infected with HIV in the 1980s through contaminated blood products used in the treatment of a hereditary clotting disorders (a scandal described in Hansard in 1987 as an "avoidable injustice"). Many were also infected with hepatitis B and C in the 1970s/80s and years later exposed to new variant CJD. An Inquiry was announced to investigate this disaster which opened in September 2018 and also those infected through whole blood products, a separate case to haemophilia.
In a letter dated 9th February 2004 Melanie Johnson wrote to Lord Morris (First Minister for Disabled and our campaign colleague of many years) that "all the information is in the public domain" and because of this the Government did not think a Public Inquiry was the way forward.
Whilst government blocked a Public Inquiry for decades falsely claiming that all the information was in the public domain, witnesses such as doctors, blood policy advisers and other officials that could have shed light on what happened grew old and died and many victims that could have testified in an Inquiry succumbed to their infections with HIV and hepatitis C. Was that government's intention?
Why were campaigners denied a Public Inquiry for nearly 3 decades on the grounds that "all the information is in the public domain" as successive government officials repeatedly stated in writing in personal letters to victims when clearly this was not the case? Documents that were not in the public domain have continued to be unearthed contrary to government's statement. This is usually due to the persistent efforts of campaigners as opposed to openess from government and is in addition to those released following a 30 year privacy rule.
How many of these boxes of potential evidence were sent to Lord Archer of Sandwell when he requested government blood policy and other Department of Health (DOH), Cabinet Office and legal documents to be submitted to the Archer Inquiry in 2007? FOI request is currently being filed.
Why were so few files of documents used to write the now disgraced and withdrawn DOH Self Sufficiency in Blood Products in England and Wales: A Chronology from 1973 to 1971?
The DOH Self -Sufficiency report was written in direct response to a dossier of documents sent to government jointly from the Newcastle Journal and my late husband Peter and I who set up Haemophilia Action UK in 1994 and the Bad Blood campaign with journalist Louella Houldcroft in 2000. The return of evidence was highlighted in past media articles. A recent FOI request revealed that government can no longer locate the dossier of documents we submitted.
Government also appear to have "lost" some of the legal letters sent on my direction in 2006 via a solicitor when I returned copies of key documents exchanged between lawyers for government and lawyers for haemophiliacs in the discovery phase of the 1991 HIV litigation. (Fortunately I kept copies). The return was on the grounds that none of these documents would be destroyed and all released into the public domain. Some were however were then withheld on the grounds of "commercial interest".
These documents were later transferred to the National Archives, Kew where both the name of our lawyer was absent and any reference to my 2006 ESRC awarded research which had prompted the discovery and the fact that these documents originated from my husband's litigation files was also conveniently withheld. It is of great concern to campaigners that some staff at the the National Archives do not appear to have the skills to reference correctly.
as you may be aware "over zealous civil servants" had already "inadvertently destroyed" many of their own copies of documents.
So I was returning documents to assist government with their collective memory loss regarding Contaminated Blood history and evidence.
I can confirm that the DH holds information relevant to your request.
The DH is the author of the report Self Sufficiency in Blood Products in England and Wales: A Chronology from 1973 to 1971. The report is a review of documents dated from 1973 (when a decision was made to pursue self-sufficiency for England and Wales) to 1991 (when a validated screening test for the hepatitis C virus was introduced in the UK) carried out by officials on behalf of ministers.
Four files of official documents were used to support the report, and were released alongside it (A link is then provided).
Why were only four files used for the DOH report when so many papers still existed? The government claimed around 5,000 documents were utilized in total. Why won't government name the individuals that wrote this report?
I was repeatedly told in letters from the DOH over the years that most documents no longer exist. Long standing campaigners believed some could have been destroyed but also that many were likely to still exist though withheld from campaigners and their lawyers.
Long standing campaigners have repeatedly been blocked from meetings with government including in the present day. Why? Because we know too much and some of the newer campaigners with less evidence and limited campaign experience are much easier to manipulate than those that have learnt the ways of government over decades and have the material to challenge.
Its not enough to unearth hidden documents though that is extremely important. In order to show an alleged "cover-up" by government it is increasingly important to trace what was said in writing and in meetings over several decades to Contaminated Blood campaigners. One has limited use without the other.
Also the Department of Health did not minute meetings for years but campaigners wrote up discussions and sent them to the DOH saying if they objected to the content and required corrections to reply and if they didn't these would be taken as accepted.
Colette Wintle and I along with Peter Mossman (who founded the Manor House Group) also submitted many important documents to government through our own MPs and via the late and much missed Lord Morris of Manchester (First Minister for Persons with Disabilities and Mr Mossman's MP) and to other Lords, for discussion and debate, this included videos.
Where is all that evidence now? Will it be unearthed as part of the boxes lodged with the Infected Blood Inquiry.
The Inquiry will struggle looking at documents in isolation. Evidence forms a giant jigsaw which must have a correct timeline and all the relevant pieces to match up and provide the wider picture. It will be of no use to victims to show half a picture or a distorted image. Campaigners fear that pieces of the jigsaw will be forced into other pieces that don't fit to create an entirely new picture without anyone ever being held to account!

How To: Glow in the Dark Button Tips - Busy Beaver Button Co.
A dark bar, late-night music festival, breaking creative ruts, Light the Night Walk fundraiser, midnight madness sale, or perfecting your portfolio—there are a million opportunities to make an impact with glow in the dark buttons. And since making a button is all about getting your message seen, what could be better than a design that does double duty: visibility for day and night?!
If you're considering glow for your next project, we've got you covered with our top tips for making the most of glow in the dark buttons, magnets, mirrors, bottle openers. Read on for all you need to know to glow!
The biggest thing to keep in mind when creating Glow in the Dark Buttons & Pins is that it's the white areas of the design that will glow. We print your design on a clear sheet, just like our metallic finish. So if your design is overall pretty dark or doesn't include any white at all, glow is probably not the right finish for you.
Also consider what it is that you want to have glowing. For a glow background, have a fill color that's white. For glowing text or other details—make sure that those are the white areas of the design.
This photo above illustrates glowing background vs. glowing text both in daylight and in the dark.
Remember that a design that's glowing will be seen in the dark and, just like anything else you look at at night, details will be harder to pick out. Fine lines, small or thin text or other detail areas won't show up very well, so go bold with your glow in the dark artwork for maximum visibility. Graphic black and white images are the most legible in the dark.
For more detailed designs, considering going with a larger button. It'll insure that the finer detail isn't lost, and bigger glow buttons make more impact as well, as with the jumbo 3" skull design below from Haunt Love.
If white areas are the glowing portions of a glow in the dark button, very light colors will also show off the glow effect a bit, too. In the photo below, you can see that the white text is what glows the most in the dark, but the button with a yellow and tan background also glow slightly.
Colored buttons can have a sort of "grayscale" look to them when glowing, too, as seen in the Halloween buttons pictured below. Notice how the teal background on the top hat cat appears dark grey, as does the dark yellow background behind the owl.
So in a nutshell: Make sure your glow design is graphic, bold and has lots of white or very light colored areas for best results.


I was on deadline for the last couple of weeks so I missed a proper halloween, post. Here's a recent drawing that would have been relevant and in the spirit of. I'm the cabbage patch kid with the homemade yarn wig and the rest are the monstros I grew up with. My cousin Danny (hueso) costume: unknown, my brother Mario (Chencho) costume: claims he's Skeletor, and my cousin Manuel (Little) costume: old simplicity pattern krumping clown costume no one escaped. You can make out the collage part a little better here.
The boys came over the day after and I forced them to not only recreate Halloween for me but to engage in reverse trick-or-treat. Victor said he was ninja Punisher. Marco was an uprocking Mike Jones or Mike Singletary?
Bonus: Prince Markie Dee little Isis.

Q: javascript promise: a problem with setTimeout inside a promise race the following code outputs (1) then (3) whitch is wrong .. why?
the following code is intended to wait 3 seconds and print (3) then wait another 1 second then print (1)
so the correct order must be (3) then (1)
I guess the problem is wait() returns a new promise, but how can I fix this issue
note: all functions must return 'this' for chaining

class test extends Promise {
  constructor(fn) {
    super(fn)
    return this
  }

  wait(seconds) {
    return new test(resolve =>
      setTimeout(function() {
        resolve(seconds)
      }, seconds * 1000)
    )
  }

  done(fn) {
    return super.then(fn)
  }
}

p = new test(r => r())
p.wait(3) //(2) must be before (1)
  .done(x => console.log(x))
  .wait(1)
  .done(x => console.log(x))

A: You need wait to call .then on the current test object (that is, this), and return the constructed Promise chain:

class test extends Promise {
  constructor(fn) {
    super(fn)
    return this
  }

  wait(seconds) {
    return this.then(() => new test(resolve => {
      setTimeout(function() {
        resolve(seconds)
      }, seconds * 1000);
    }))
  }

  done(fn) {
    return super.then(fn)
  }
}

console.log('start');
p = new test(r => r())
p.wait(3) //(2) must be before (1)
  .done(x => console.log(x))
  .wait(1)
  .done(x => console.log(x))

Q: How can I filter the content of listview when clicked a button? I'm not using API or firebase yet, the data is stored locally.
here is my code
======>>
Widget _buildhouse(BuildContext contex, int index){
Size size = MediaQuery.of(context).size;

House house = houselist[index];   //houselist is the list of all houses

return GestureDetector(
  onTap: (){
   setState(() {]

    house = filteredhouse[index];  //this code wont be executed

     print(house.price);
   });
    Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(builder: (_) => DetailsScreen(house),));
  },

so those two lines that I commented on are the important ones I guess, the print code gets executed but not the other one. also if I say "house = filteredhouse[index];" at the beginning, I will get the filtered value. but it won't get changed when clicked the button

A: solved it by using this function void _filtered(){ setState(() { houselist = filteredhouse; }); } and then calling it inside of setState

For other historical figures with similar names, see Narses (disambiguation).
Narseh (Middle Persian: 𐭭𐭥𐭮𐭧𐭩, New Persian: نرسه, Narsē, whose name is also sometimes written as Narses or Narseus) was seventh king (shah) of the Sasanian Empire from 293 to 302. He was the son of Shapur I (r. 240–270).
During the rule of his father Shapur I, Narseh had served as the governor of Sakastan, Sindh and Turan. Prior to becoming shah of Iran, he held the title of "Great King of Armenia". Narseh overthrew the increasingly unpopular Bahram III in 293 with the support of most of the nobility, which thus makes him the first Sasanian shah to not ascend the throne as a crown prince. The circumstances of Narseh's rise to power are detailed in the Paikuli inscription. Narseh was known for his tolerance of other religions.
The name of Narseh stems from the Old Iranian theophoric name of *naryasa(n)ha-, meaning "men's praise". Narseh's name is listed as nrshy in Middle Persian and nryshw in Parthian on the Paikuli inscription and Naqsh-e Rustam. The Greek version of his name is also listed in the inscriptions, as Narsaiēs or Narsaios. However, other Greek sources generally spell his name as Narsēs. The name of Narseh is known in other languages as; Latin: Narseus; Syriac Nrsy; Arabic: نرسي Narsi; Armenian Nerseh; Coptic Narsaph, as well as Narseos.
Narseh seems to have been the youngest son of Shapur I, being born between 228-233 during the reign of his grandfather Ardashir I (r. 224–242). Narseh is quoted in an inscription by his father Shapur I as the governor of the eastern Sasanian provinces of Sindh, Sakastan and Turan. During his term as governor, he reportedly played an important role in the affairs of the eastern portion of the empire. Shapur I died in 270, and was succeeded by Hormizd I, whose rule only lasted one year due to death. Narseh's older brother Bahram I, who was never considered a candidate for succession of the throne by their father, probably due to having a mother of lowly origin, ascended the throne with the aid of the powerful Zoroastrian priest Kartir.
He then made a settlement with Narseh to give up his entitlement to the throne in return for the governorship of the important frontier province of Armenia, which was constantly the source of war between the Roman and Sasanian Empires. Narseh held the title of Vazurg Šāh Arminān ("Great King of Armenia"), which was used by the heir to the throne. Nevertheless, Narseh still most likely viewed Bahram I as a usurper. Bahram I's reign however, lasted shortly, ending on September 274 with his death. His son Bahram II succeeded him as shah; he may have been aided by Kartir to ascended the throne instead of Narseh. This most likely frustrated Narseh, who had now been neglected from succession several times.

Following the death of Bahram II in 293, his son Bahram III was unwillingly proclaimed shah in Pars by a group of nobles led by Wahnam and supported by Adurfarrobay, governor of Meshan. However, Bahram III was considered a weak ruler by the other nobles, who decided to pledge allegiance to Narseh, the last remaining son of Shapur, and someone who was perceived as being a stronger leader and one who would be able to bring glory to Iran. Four months into Bahram III's reign, Narseh was summoned to Mesopotamia at the request of many members of the Iranian nobility. He met them in the passage of Paikuli in the province of Garamig, where he was firmly approved and likely also declared shah for the first time. The reasons behind the nobles favour of Narseh might have been due to his jurisdiction as governor, his image as a advocate of the Zoroastrian religion and as a insurer for harmony and prosperity of the empire. His ancestry from the early Sasanian family probably also played a role.
In order to avoid bloodshed, Narseh proposed to make peace with both Bahram III and Wahnam. Both seem to have agreed, as no accounts of battles have been made. The reason behind Bahram III and Wahnam's quick agreement to peace may have been due to desertion amongst many of Bahram III's men. Bahram III abdicated as shah and was probably spared, whilst Wahnam was executed when Narseh entered the Sasanian capital of Ctesiphon. Narseh then summoned the aristocrats to take part in the royal referendum, a ritual which had been used since the first Sasanian shah, Ardashir I (r. 224–242), and which Narseh now made use of in order to gain the approval of the aristocracy as a legitimate ruler instead that of a usurper. Narseh was decisively voted in favour by the majority, and guaranteed "to enter the throne of our father and our forefathers with the help of the Gods, in their name and that of our forefathers." Amongst those nobles who supported Narseh was the leading priest Kartir, which is attested in the Paikuli inscription.
When Narseh ascended the throne, the eastern portion of Mesopotamia (since 244) and all of Armenia (since 252) were under Iranian rule. The traditional notion of the western part of Armenia had been given to the Arsacid prince Tiridates III has been dismissed. "It is quite certain" that the whole of Armenia continued to a part of the Sasanian Empire in the 3rd-century, until it was later ceded to the Romans in 298/9 after the Peace of Nisibis. The proposition of Narseh presumably following Shapur I's expansionistic approach does not match with his testimony in the Paikuli inscription; "And Caesar and the Romans were in gratitude (?) and peace and friendship with us." Contrary to the testimony, however, the two empires soon clashed with each other−in 296.
Galerius invaded Mesopotamia, which Narseh had occupied hoping to check his advance. Three battles were fought subsequently, the first two of which were indecisive. In the third fought at Callinicum, Galerius suffered a complete defeat and was forced to retreat. Galerius crossed the Euphrates into Syria to join his father-in-law Diocletian at Antioch. On his arrival at Antioch, Galerius was rebuked by Diocletian who disgraced him for his shameful defeat at the hands of Narseh. Vowing to take revenge, Galerius made preparations throughout the winter of 297 and invaded Armenia with 25,000 men.
Supported by the Armenians, Galerius surprised Narseh in his camp at the Battle of Satala and inflicted a crushing defeat on the latter, forcing him to flee in haste. His wife, prisoners, his sisters and a number of his children were captured apart from his prodigious military chest. Eastern Mesopotamia was recovered by the Romans and Tiridates was reinstated as the monarch of Armenia.
But Galerius dismissed Aphraban without giving any definite answer, at the same time accusing the Persians of ill-treating Valerian. In the meantime, he consulted Diocletian at Nisibis, and he persuaded Galerius to offer terms of peace to the Persians. Accordingly, terms of peace were agreed upon, and were ratified by a treaty concluded by Narseh with the Romans.
Five provinces beyond the Tigris were to be ceded to the Romans. One writer gives these provinces as Ingilene, Sophene, Arzanene, Corduene, and Zabdicene; by another as Arzanene, Moxoene, Zabdicene, Rehimene, and Corduene.
The semi-independent kingdom of Armenia was to be extended up to the fortress of Zintha, in Media.
Persia was expected to relinquish all her rights over Iberia.
Formal dealings between Persia and Rome would henceforth be conducted at Nisibis.
Narseh did not survive for long after the conclusion of this humiliating treaty. He died in 302 and was succeeded by his son, Hormizd II.

The Western States 100 Endurance Run traverses the trans-Sierra portion of the historic Western States Trail, a nationally dedicated trail that stretches from Salt Lake City, Utah to Sacramento, California. Known as one of the most arduous and epic running events in the United States, the Western States 100 is truly the ultimate challenge for any ultrarunner. Entry in this event should not be taken lightly.
Beginning in Olympic Valley, the site of the 1960 Winter Olympic Games, the trail ascends from the valley floor (elevation 6,200 feet) to Emigrant Pass (elevation 8,750 feet)—a climb of 2,550 vertical feet in the first four miles. From Emigrant Pass—following routes first used by Native Americans and then the gold and silver miners of the 1850's—runners travel west, climbing another 15,540 feet and descending 22,970 feet before reaching Auburn, a small town in the heart of California's historic gold country. Most of the trail passes through remote and rugged territory. People who are unfamiliar with the area should use caution when planning training runs, especially in the high country.

His work includes a broad spectrum of research tracks ranging from: basic research on transportation modeling, research on the behavioral responses of agents to pricing and other sustainable policies, research on simplified modeling techniques, i.e., to estimate demand using secondary data. The latter techniques are bound to benefit developing countries because they minimize the need for expensive data collection efforts. His leadership positions at key international research organizations include: Vice-President for Logistics of the Pan-American Conferences of Traffic and Transportation Engineering, Elected Member of the Council for the Association for European Transport, member of the International Organizing Committee of the City Logistics Conferences, member of three Technical Committees and invitational Task Forces on freight modeling at the Transportation Research Board. He is member of a number of editorial boards, Review Chair for freight transportation at the Transportation Research Board, and Transportation Editor at Networks and Spatial Economics.

... Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy said the demand (for online food delivery) may drop off. "Nothing will replace the experience of going to a restaurant, the environment, having a drink, having good company, etcetera," said Jose Holguin-Veras, director of the Center for Infrastructure, Transportation and the Environment at RPI.

15-Minute Grocery Delivery Has Come to N.Y.C. Not Everyone Is Happy.

... Ultrafast grocery services also encourage people to place smaller and more frequent orders, resulting in more delivery trips and bringing more trucks to residential areas to restock hubs — all of which worsen congestion and pollution, said José Holguín-Veras, a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute who studies transportation issues. "It's the price of convenience," Prof. Holguín-Veras said. "But I feel like I'm going against a tsunami because once you get used to that, why do you want to walk to the local store or plan ahead to buy groceries for the week?" ...

Kofi Adda loyalists condemn attacks, call for apology from GJA chairman
Loyalists of Joseph Kofi Adda, a group of ardent supporters of the Navrongo Central Member of Parliament, have lashed out at Upper East Region's Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) chairman, Eric Amoh, for verbally attacking the Parliamentarian.
The loyalists condemned the attack in a press statement signed by leader Ing. David Adda and released on Monday.
Mr. Eric Amoh, in his speech at a press soiree organized by the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council over the weekend, reportedly described the Parliamentarian as "childish and immature" for his commentary on some issues in an interview he granted Bolgatanga based A1 Radio.
In his outbursts, the chairman said the utterances of the Parliamentarian, which bordered on party challenges at his constituency, were completely unacceptable and had the tendency of sending the wrong signal especially in a year Ghana prepares for elections.
Mr. Amoh, who said he could not fathom why Mr. Adda would make such statements on live radio, also accused him of targeting to demean and vilify other political leaders in the region with his comments.
But the loyalists have hit back strongly at the GJA chairman in their statement, disagreeing with all that he said about Mr. Adda.
According to them, the assertions of the GJA chairman are not true and seek to damage the reputation of the Parliamentarian and set him up for public ridicule to satisfy his "paymasters".
The statement said:" The GJA chairman's comments seek to damage the reputation of Hon. Adda and put him up for public ridicule. To the best of our knowledge, Hon. Adda never attacked and has never made attempts to vilify any political figure in the region and country. He stands for peace, serenity and development and has been very integral in peacebuilding in the region".
The group said Mr. Amoh should have known better not to attack Kofi Adda looking at the prestigious position he occupied in the region.
The group has, therefore, advised the GJA chairman to openly render apology to Mr. Adda and the people of Navrongo and from henceforth keep his distance and not poke his nose in the affairs of the Navrongo central constituency NPP.
It also called on the national body of the Ghana Journalists Association to investigate Mr. Amoh and serve him the necessary punishment.
"Again, we wish to urge Journalists in the region and country to desist from electing corrupt and failures like Mr. Amoh as executives. Persons like him only care about their stomachs and have nothing better to offer the profession. Evident is how he puts unqualified people up as journalists for educational trips outside Ghana while right and deserving journalists rot.
National GJA body must act now before he plunges the regional branch further into the ditch".
Read full statement below.
Monday, January 27, 2020.
Immediate release.
[Office of the Loyalists of Hon. Joseph Kofi Adda]
DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE APOLOGY FROM ERIC AMOH, THE UPPER EAST REGIONAL CHAIRMAN OF GHANA JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION.
The attention of the Office of the Loyalists of Hon. Joseph Kofi Adda, Minister for Aviation and Navrongo Central Member of Parliament (MP) has been drawn to an audio clip and a publication on A1Radioonline.com, dated January, 26th, 2020, with the headline, "Reprimand Kofi Adda for acting childish- GJA Chairman tells NPP".
In the said audio clip and publication which has made the rounds on social media, the regional GJA chairman used venomous language and attacked the renowned and revered politician by calling him "childish and immature" for granting an interview on A1 Radio, a radio station in the region.
He accused Hon. Adda of wanting to vilify other politicians and inciting chaos in the election year with his utterances in the radio interview.
His comments seek to damage the reputation of Hon. Adda and put him up for public ridicule.
But to the best of our knowledge, Hon. Adda never attacked and has never made attempts to vilify any political figure in the region and country. He stands for peace, serenity and development and has been very integral in peace building in the region.
Hon. Joseph Kofi Adda is a politician of great repute who has love and respect for all. He is arguably one of the most accommodating, humble and approachable political leader in the country. Even though, he made responses and said some truths to certain questions from the host of the radio show that needed clarifications, and which we believe were set up, that doesn't warrant the intemperate language the GJA Chairman used on Hon. Adda in the presence of his paymasters.
It beats our understanding that a GJA chairman who should know better and is supposed to guide his members against the use of foul language in their line of duty, is said to have coerced a Radio show host to render an apology to a Minister of State for speaking his mind on an issue, will himself kowtow shamelessly in the presence of his paymasters and on the grounds of one of two sides, to insult a man who is way out of his league.
Yes, we know that Mr. Amoh is in bed with the regional minister and is helping her in her bid to contest in the primaries. We don't care who he associates with. What we would want to make clear to him is to desist from making comments about internal issues he has no much knowledge about.Henceforth,he should NEVER, EVER think of attacking Hon. Kofi Adda. This should be the last!
Ultimately, we want Mr. Eric Amoh to openly render an immediate apology to Hon. Joseph Kofi Adda and the good people of Navrongo. We are also calling on the National Leadership of the Ghana Journalist Association to investigate Mr. Amoh and follow with the necessary punitive measures.
Chairman.
Ing. David Adda.

This month for Reading Wildly, we read contemporary fiction. You may also call this realistic fiction, but we specify contemporary because we're talking about books set in the present day, not historical fiction.
To kick off our discussion, we talked about the article "One Tough Cookie" by Carey E. Hagan, the Field Notes column from the September/October 2011 Horn Book Magazine. In this article, Hagan discusses her difficulties in getting boys to check out books that are perceived as "girl books".
My staff had a lot to say about this article. We talked about how it was difficult to get not only boys but parents of boys to take home books about girls (sometimes, not always!). We talked about how dangerous this is - to encourage boys to check out and read solely books about boys is to tell them that the lives of girls are not something they have to care about or value.
We shared some strategies for combating this mindset. First and foremost, we must be cognizant that it's good to present boys and girls with books about both boys and girls. We, as gatekeepers, need to check that we're not booktalking a book as "for girls" or "for boys". Instead of emphasizing the gender of the characters, talk about what the characters do or what's exciting, funny, or interesting about the book. Solicit impromptu book reviews from young readers and file those away so that you can tell young readers "I know a boy who read that book and he said it was cool." etc.
Just as we should be including diverse books in what we're booktalking and suggesting, we need to include books featuring protagonists of both genres.
For our October meeting, we'll be reading scary stories (and slightly scary stories!) and reading the article "Are Goosebumps Real Literature?" by Leslie Anne Perry and Rebecca Butler from Language Arts, October 1997.
What scary books would you recommend for us to check out?

Kralendijk- The way the yearly so called 'free allowance' for the BES-islands is calculated, is not very favorable for the 3 public entities and differs from the way from the annual adjustment of Dutch municipalities is calculated. The annual adjustment of the BES fund, and thus the free allowance is based on a current indexation figure a public body separately. Inflation on public bodies was low or negative in 2015: -0.9% Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba -1.0% + 0.4% (source: CBS). About 2016, the inflation rate was low, or almost zero: Bonaire + 0.5%, -0.1% and Saba Statia + 0.1% (source: CBS). In 2016 there has been no adjustment of the free allowance, public bodies will receive about early 2017 written notification of the Interior. Given the low inflation in 2016 is based on the current system also does not expect any adjustment of the free allowance in 2017; in the 2017 budgets of the public bodies is therefore also not assume an adjustment.
The adjustment of the Dutch municipal is however carried out on a combination of wage and price adjustment. An increase in expenditure due to wage and price increases offset by the corresponding adjustment. Given the new collective agreement concluded in 2016, the CAO system for National Caribbean Netherlands followed, public bodies saw himself confronted by mid 2016 with an increase of approximately 4% of the labor costs.
Since labor costs a large part of the total expense is for public bodies, particularly Saba and St. Eustatius, given their small size, proven a major challenge to absorb this increase at a constant free allowance in fiscal 2016. This task is difficult because no action was taken on the recommendation of the order of the minister in 2015 issued Opinion Research BES maintenance fund to increase the free benefit for not budgeted amounts and walk statutory duties.
CFT feels that the arrival of a new government could provide an opportunity for the Interior and the public bodies to discuss a possible change of the adjustment of the BES fund making it not only based on inflation (price revision) but also based on the actual wage developments (wage adjustment). In addition, it is important to also stand still at the time when such an adjustment will take place in such a manner during a calendar year that an adjustment can be processed during the year in a budget amendment.

Haliburton Forest continues to grow, adding sawmill to operations
The addition of a hardwood sawmill and forestry division from Rayonier Advanced Materials in Huntsville has increased production capacity of Haliburton Forest, which previously had two other sawmills – one in Kennisis Lake and the other in South River.
The acquisition, made by Huntsville Forest Products, a wholly owned subsidiary of Haliburton Forest, was announced on Oct. 19. It includes the Huntsville forestry division, which provides sawlogs from the French-Severn Forest, managed by Westwind Forest Stewardship Inc.
Malcolm Cecil-Cockwell, managing director of Haliburton Forest, said they see a bright future for the hardwood forest products industry and have invested accordingly.
"Beyond the general opportunity to grow, we felt that this was a unique opportunity to meaningfully increase our presence in the region, as HFP [Huntsville Forest Products] is literally located right in between our two existing sawmills," he said via email. "Finally, and perhaps most important, this is a 'mature' facility with talented staff, good processes, and a solid work ethic – we felt that bringing it all together would improve our entire team, because you [can] never have too many good people."
Combining its facilities, Haliburton Forest will now be able to produce 40 million fbm (board feet) per year and employ more than 100 people and about the same number of contractors. The hardwood lumber processed at its sawmills is divided into two product streams: "appearance applications" and "industrial applications." Appearance applications includes furniture, moldings and flooring, while industrial applications includes railway ties, pallets, and truck flooring.
In a statement released Oct. 19, Westwind Forest Stewardship board chair Rob Keen said they were "extremely pleased" with the acquisition "and happily welcome having a local family-owned forestry company operating in the French-Severn Forest." Westwind holds the sustainable forest licence for Crown land in the French-Severn Forest, which is in the area between Algonquin Park and Georgian Bay.
Cecil-Cockwell said Haliburton Forest's focus is on "internalizing and upgrading our recent acquisitions," noting the company has grown to one of the province's largest hardwood forest enterprises in the matter of a few years.
He said he personally felt satisfaction about the acquisition, which was in the works for months.
"It's also rewarding to know that we are building a great Canadian hardwood forest products enterprise," he said.

Q: Is this a valid sorting mechanism with complexity of O(n) in python? Code
from functools import *
def sorter(a):
    b=[]
    for i in range(len(a)):
        val= reduce(lambda x,y: y if x>y else x, a)
        b.append(val)
        a.pop(a.index(val))
    return b

I am able to sort the data as required but is this valid approach to do so?
## Input
    sorter ([1,2,6,6,10,20,5,6,22,23,20,90,80])
## Output
    [1, 2, 5, 6, 6, 6, 10, 20, 20, 22, 23, 80, 90]

A: for-loop and reduce method call inside it would make it O(N^2) operation.
for-loop: { <- O(N)
   O(N) method like reduce, and index which requires iterating over the list
}

Noone ever devised an algorithm that sorts in O(N) time complexity. :)


I started blogging as another creative outlet in which to connect with other creative people. I had friends who were bloggers and I loved reading their blogs so it felt natural for me to give it a whirl! I'm also the kind of person who likes to try new things on a regular basis, meet new people whether its in person or online and generally a peek into other peoples lives, especially those living outside Ireland where I'm from and live.
2. What is your favorite part about blogging & the blogging community?
I love that you can post a question somewhere and that someone will go out of their way to assist you. I love how honest many bloggers can be about aspects of their lives, something which I would like to do more of, and I generally love finding a new blog, especially one with an incredible design. I suffer from blog design envy all the time! I also just love sharing aspects of my life - I try not to overshare, but anyone who knows me will tell you that usually within 5 minutes of meeting me, you know my life story!!
3. What is the hardest part about blogging?
For me, I would say its finding that work / life / time to blog balance. I also work a full time job which at certain times of the year is demanding so I really have to work hard at organizing my time, my blog posts and of course developing interesting content to read. I do worry that my posts are not that interesting and for this reason I've been moving my blog towards a crafty lifestyle blog as opposed to just all about crafts and craft tutorials etc.
Also, I sometimes struggle with the technical side of things! I did a small happy dance last week when I figured out a teeny tiny bit of blogger design coding. That was a great day!
4. What is your favorite feature on your blog?
Probably the 'Today I heart..' series which sees me search the internet for bits and pieces to drool over and also 'Positive Quotes' which according to the stats on my blog draws the biggest amount of readership. It seems there are ALOT of us out there searching for quotes to make our lives more inspiring or complete!
5. I see a lot of positive quotes on your blog! Is this where you find inspiration?
I am the kind of person who 'likes' positive quotes, but I wouldn't say I live my life by them. I generally a half glass full person anyways, but sometimes you need some inspirational quotes to kick start your day or perhaps bring you back down to earth when you think you're life is experiencing some drama, when really it wasn't that important at all! As mentioned above, it draws alot of readers to my blog, and I often wonder are there are alot of sad and unhappy out there sitting at their keyboards looking for some inspiring words and that kinda makes me a little sad if I'm honest!
6. How did you get into card making?
When I was younger I found a box of cards that were given to me as a child over the years. My mum had saved them and i was intrigued that she kept them. She obviously felt they were important momentos to keep. I'm sorry to say I don't know where that box is now! BUT, I've always loved giving and receiving cards and the reason I got into card making was that in Ireland I felt there was a real gap for a quality handmade card that didn't cost the earth. I was coming accross very simple handmade - like cards which were selling for about €6 euro ($9 or $10!!) and I thought this was crazy! So way back in 2009, I made my first card for my friends wedding and everyone said "You really should make more of these!"
The funny thing is, even back in Art College, I had a name for my mini business. I also loved rainbows and found them to be particularly lucky, so hence LuckyRainbow was born.
7. Give us the best blogging advice you've ever received!
Be yourself and stop looking at others! Meaning, yes you will look at other blogs, their ka-zillion of followers, amazing images and house ready photos but know that it probably took them time and energy and years to create this and get to that particular space. Blogging is a process. If you look back at my original posts, you'll cringe at how back they are, but if you skip a few years, you'll see how my blog has developed and that happens for us all, so long as your willing to work hard at it!
Oh so much! - For work related issues, the best piece of advice I received was "They're only complaining to you, not about you." - I was the person who used to cry if someone complained to me in work, but when someone, a former manager and still a friend today gave me the above advise, it changed my thinking...forever! I still dish that same piece of advice out to younger colleagues.
9. What is your favorite fruit?
Strawberries! I even grew my own last year, they were perfect and delicious!
10. What is your favorite color to wear?
From Monday to Friday, I'm in a suit for work purposes, so at the weekend its my time. By that I mean I pull out every colorful item in my wardrobe and style it up! Its hard for me to chose just one colour, I'd say for evening attire, you can't beat a red dress, but during the day, you could meet me and I might perhaps might just look like a walking rainbow complete with a lush colour of lipstick! Told you I loved rainbows!
