Before jumping into buying, renting or leasing a franking machine you may want to take a gander at some of the most common franking machine questions that we receive. If you are new to the franking machine industry then you may not be aware of the latest franking technologies, what franking actually is or what a franking machine is. The questions below are here to help you get to terms with franking and how it can benefit your business more than using stamps.
A franking machine is a piece of equipment that is used to print a postage impression onto your mail items. It is the alternative method of sending your mail via stamps and comes at a much lower cost. A franking machine will produce something called a franking impression on your mail items and this holds key information about the mail piece, such as weight, price and sometimes where the item has actually come from. In order to use a franking machine you need postage, and this can be downloaded onto the machine via a computer or a LAN and this will pay for sending your mail via a franking impression instead of a stamp. Basically a franking machine prints money which is used to send your mail items, every day.
A franking machine can be situated in your own office area, instead of walking to the Post Office for stamps, and will save you money every time it is used. Whether you use an entry level franking machine such as the Mailstart Plus or a higher volume franking machine such as the Mailbase Speed, this process applies to all machines.

Hear Maddie & Tae's 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' + 7 More Festive Country Tunes [LISTEN]

If you break out the Christmas music first thing after the Thanksgiving holiday, you're not alone: Plenty of country stars are getting into the seasonal spirit with special holiday releases! From festive originals to long-cherished classics, there's something for every country fan's stocking in this extra-merry round-up. Read on to get to know all the tunes you'll be wanting to add to your Christmas playlist this year.
Maddie & Tae, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas":
Maddie & Tae have joined the long list of artists that have tried their hand at "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." For their rendition of the holiday classic, the duo start things off slow with instrumentals, setting the cheery mood before joining in with beautiful harmonies. The Christmas classic was first released in 1944 by Judy Garland. Bing Crosby made the song incredibly famous in 1962 and it has since been recorded by the likes of Sam Smith, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and Whitney Houston. Maddie & Tae's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" comes off as caring, sensitive and genuine. -- CC
Brandy Clark and Charlie Worsham, "Merry Christmas, Darling":
Brandy Clark is sharing her own dreamy take on a Christmas classic with the release of "Merry Christmas Darling." Charlie Worsham joins Clark on the 1978 song made popular by the Carpenters. "I love the holiday season and I love the Carpenters. So, 'Merry Christmas Darling' is a double favorite of mine," explains Clark in a tweet. "I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it with Charlie Worsham. Merry Christmas Darlings." -- CC
Cam, "I'll Be Home for Christmas":
Ahead of releasing new music in 2020, Cam is sharing a stripped-down version of a holiday classic with fans. The singer has released her own vulnerable version of the well-known "I'll Be Home For Christmas." In addition to being a holiday staple, Cam ranks it as her overall favorite Christmas song. In a press release, she explains that the song holds even more meaning to her this year, because her baby is due just one day after the holiday. Cam concluded her statement in the release by thanking her fans, saying "I want to say a heartfelt thank you for allowing me the time to explore, digest and perfect this new album. The universe says we're right on time." -- CC
Clare Dunn, "Step Into Christmas":
Christmas is a happy and exciting time for Clare Dunn. In her new release, "Step Into Christmas," Dunn is inviting listeners to experience the fun of the holiday season with her. "I remember when we were kids, waking up early, exchanging gifts with my sister and parents, then us all bundling up and going out and taking care of cattle," Dunn reflects in a press release about the upbeat song.
"By the time we came back in we were all frozen, trying to shake off the cold, scraping snow off our boots and jeans, and waiting for the ice to melt out of clumps of our hair while we packed up all the food into pickups and got ready to make the 50-mile drive down a dirt road to my grandparents' house in Oklahoma," the singer continues. "Step Into Christmas" was originally released (and penned) by Elton John in the 1970s. -- CC
The Lone Bellow, "Marshmallow World":
The Lone Bellow are painting a picture perfect world with their release of their festive number,"Marshmallow World." In the cozy song, the group -- comprised of Zach Williams, Kanene Donehey Pipkin and Brian Elmquist -- sing about the idyllic surrounds of the season. In this instance, the holiday is the perfect time for love. "It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts / Take a walk with your favorite girl / It's a sugar date, what if spring is late / In winter it's a marshmallow world," the trio sings. "Marshmallow World" will be included on A Dualtone Christmas. -- CC
The Oak Ridge Boys, "Don't Go Pullin' on Santa Claus' Beard":
If The Oak Ridge Boys want you to know one thing this Christmas season, it's to not pull on Santa's beard! "Don't Go Pullin' on Santa Claus' Beard" is a fun and catchy song that is bound to put anyone in the holiday spirit. Throughout the tune, the boys sing about all the things that you can do with Santa and that one that you absolutely cannot: "You can wrap your arms around his neck / Hold his hand maybe sneak a peck / Get your picture made / Make a face that's weird / But don't go pullin' on Santa Claus' beard," they sing. "Don't Go Pullin' on Santa Claus' Beard" is available now. -- CC
King Calaway, "Happy Christmas (War is Over)":
King Calaway are the latest artists to release their own rendition of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)." The incredibly popular song was first released in 1971 by none other than John Lennon and Yoko Ono. For their version of the iconic song, the men of King Calaway take turns delivering the powerful lyrics while beautifully layering their individual voices into one cohesive sound. The group explained their decision to release the song, saying "We really tried to convey a message of hope and happiness in our debut album, 'Rivers,' and we wanted to continue that message in the holiday season with our Christmas single "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)." -- CC
Dylan Scott, "Winter Wonderland":
The iconic "Winter Wonderland" has gone country with the release of Dylan Scott's rendition of the song. Scott's warm, southern voice pairs nicely with the rich instrumentals of the song, and helps create the vivid imagery featured throughout the holiday staple. "Winter Wonderland" is just one of ten tracks that Scott included on his brand new holiday release, Merry Christmas. "Christmas is my favorite time of the year," Scott recently told Taste of Country. "I grew up listening to the holiday classics, and to be able to record and perform some of these songs is a dream come true." Merry Christmas is out now. -- CC

Q: jquery wildcard for complex input name with array notation I have complex input elements of type text with names like product[1][combinations][x][price].  There are many of this element, differing in name only by the value after [combinations] and after [x].
For example:
product[1][price]
product[1][combinations][x][price]
product[1][combinations][xx][price]
product[1][combinations][xxx][price]
product[1][combinations][xxxx][price]

product[1][sale_price]
product[1][combinations][x][sale_price]
product[1][combinations][xx][sale_price]
product[1][combinations][xxx][sale_price]
product[1][combinations][xxxx][sale_price]

product[2][price]
product[2][combinations][a][price]
product[2][combinations][aa][price]
product[2][combinations][aaa][price]
product[2][combinations][aaaa][price]

product[2][sale_price]
product[2][combinations][a][sale_price]
product[2][combinations][aa][sale_price]
product[2][combinations][aaa][sale_price]
product[2][combinations][aaaa][sale_price]

the above values x, xx, xxx, xxxx and a, aa, aaa, aaaa represent unique values per product[id].  the first definition in each group(product[2][sale_price] for example) represents the parent or owner product who's value i will be batch updating to its children(combinations).
I would like to find groups of these elements based on what the type of information is being stored, for example sale_price and then change its value.  I don't need to consider the unique value, [x] so i hoped i could use a wildcard.
I hoped something like this would solve the problem(example):
$("input[name='product[1][combinations][*][price]'][type='text']").val(0);

however the * isn't really a wildcard i guess, so i can't use it like that.
I realize i could do something like this, however this will assign 0 to all inputs instead of just sale_price:
$("input[name^='product[1][combinations]'][type='text']").val(0);

How can i replace this($("input[name='product[1][combinations][*][price]'][type='text']").val(0);) selector with an appropriate wild card?  I'd like to keep the name array values in the same order if possible

A: not sure if this is what you want... but you can use attribute selecter with $ this selects all the inputs ending with specified text...so that would be
$("input[name$='[price]']").val(0);
$("input[name$='[sale_price]']").val(1);

and you don't actually need [type='text'] the above selector will get the elements with the name ending with the string...however if you want to be more specific and make sure you just need only inputs then its fine..you can add the same here too.
example fiddle here
updated
then you can use multiple attribute selector..^ to search the element begining with the specified string
$("input[name^='product[1]'][name$='[price]']").val(0);
$("input[name^='product[1]'][name$='[sale_price]']").val(1);

updated fiddle

A: You can use multiple attribute selectors:
$("input[name^='product[" + number + "]'][name$='[sale_price]']").val(0);

Watch Culture • Watches
Image credit: Hulu
The six-part mini-series Pam and Tommy is set during a very specific period in history; 1995. Anyone born after the turn of the century will be utterly confused by the plethora of archaic technology on display, from the central VHS tape to the painfully slow websites and chequebooks used to distribute the tape. The plot itself is about the rockstar lifestyles Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee, played by Lily James and Sebastian Stan, and an unfortunate situation whereby their private sex tape was leaked to the porn industry.
It's a fun show, looking back at the crazy times when mullets were still an acceptable haircut, even if they are trying to make a comeback. The main mulleted man in the series is Rand Gauthier, performed by Seth Rogen, a carpenter working on Tommy's house. After Tommy refuses to pay Rand for his work, Rand decides to steal the rockstar's safe in an act of revenge.
What follows is any watch collector's worst nightmare. Cracking open the safe, Rand finds all of Tommy's watches, his guns, a wedding bikini and the sex tape. Worse than just having the watches stolen, Rand then throws them all onto the floor, wears them in a show of gross success and pawns them – all in the space of a one-minute montage in episode one.
The first of Tommy's watches that we see is a gold Rolex Day-Date with a dark green dial. The Day-Date is the ultimate rockstar timepiece, straddling that line between elegant and flashy, it's certainly a statement. In one shot you can see the long days aperture at 12 o'clock that denotes it as a day-date and later in the series, in episode four, Tommy confirms to the police that a Rolex was stolen from him in the theft.
Another watch that Tommy mentions to the police in the same conversation is a Cartier. And indeed, we see Rand wearing it back in episode one. It's a gold piece with a rectangular case and fine linked bracelet, making it almost certainly a Tank. The Tank is one of the most enduringly stylish watches in history and Cartier is still a favourite of modern musicians, so it makes total sense to see it in Tommy's collection.
Perhaps the least expected watch to spot during the montage is a Tudor Submariner. We know it's the Tudor variant because of the signature snowflake hands, which can be seen clearly when Rand is wearing it. It's unexpected because at that time Tudor was still very much in the shadow of Rolex and considering Tommy already had Rolexes, surely another would have been the way to go. Alternatively, Tommy was before his time and saw the powerhouse of horology Tudor would eventually become, albeit on the back of the Black Bay not the Submariner.
There are a handful of other watches that are seen in glimpses only so the final watch worth talking about is actually Rand's personal watch that he wears throughout the series.
It's a Casio DW5600E-1V G-Shock, which is an incredibly smart piece of watch casting. Rand, despite his flaws, represents the everyman, putting the insane lifestyle of Pam and Tommy into stark contrast.
It may be a garish slice of seedy fun but hey, at least they nailed their watch game.

SBI reduces rate on bulk FD by 25 bps
Country's largest lender, State Bank of India cuts its interest rates on bulk fixed deposits by 0.25 per cent to 7.25 per cent of maturity up to one year.
The bank said that it has been decided to reduce rates by 25 basis points on bulk deposits above Rs 1 crore for the maturity period of 7 days to less than 1 year.
"Accordingly, the interest rate for bulk deposits for the above tenors will be 7.25 per cent per annum with effect from June 7, 2013," SBI said in a statement.

Along with SBI, Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC) in May had slashed fixed deposit rates by up to 1 per cent on selected maturities.

And so they go on and on about a majority party which has the temerity to govern according to the precepts which made it a majority party in the first place. They rant about the lack of bipartisanship as if they had cornered the market on olive branches, while spouting some of the most partisan bile heard in Washington in decades. And, as they become more wild-eyed and maniacal, they turn off more and more voters who can only figure out what they're against (anything President Bush is for) while wondering what they're in favor of (other than returning them to power). The Democrats are simply not a viable alternative for most "centrists".


Australian steelmaker and iron miner Arrium (ASX:ARI) has seen its shares surge after rejecting a $1 billion takeover bid for the company's mines and blast furnace.
The consortium, comprised of Hong Kong-headquartered Noble Group (SGX:N21), Posco (KS:005490) and three Korean financial institutions, issued the unsolicited bid for the company at AUD$0.75 per share, for a total consideration of AUD$1.01 billion.
Reuters reports that Arrium, formerly known as One Steel Ltd, rejected the bid on the grounds that it was undervalued and conditional.
The rejection comes just as cash-flush Asian companies led by export titan China have been snatching up commodities and mining companies around the globe.
Despite a year-on-year decline in Asia-Pacific mining deals of 23% so far this year, take-overs are expected to surge during the remainder of the year as valuations approach record lows on recent commodity price dives.
The consortium sought to take over Arrium's iron ore mines on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, in which the company has invested hundreds of millions over the past several years, as well as its Whyalla steelworks.
Shares in Arrium rocketed 25% in Monday morning trading following a month of steep declines due to tepid demand.


Is dancehall's "outlaw" back? Rumors are flying that popular '90s singjay Terry Ganzi is plotting a big return to the scene. The nasally deejay, known for humorous and intricately woven lyrics, told the Gleaner recently: "Right now mi just a finish up an album name, Changing Lanes. Apart from that, me have a new tune on the Poison Gas riddim name "Real Outlaw." Mi nuh stop work, though some naw hear me or see me."
Indie electronic stars Diplo (Hollertronix) and Switch (Dubsided) have collaborated on a dancehall album that is due out shortly on Diplo's Mad Decent imprint. Peep the featured guest artists: Elephant Man, Vybz Kartel, Leftside & Esco, Gyptian, Mr. Vegas, Turbulence, Spice, Macka Diamond, Monster Twins, and more. Uh, damn!
Despite outgrowing its current location at Kingston's Weekenz Bar and Bistro, 80 Constant Spring Road in Kingston, it doesn't look like the popular Thursday street dance Bembe will be moving to a bigger area. "True di place small, but wi a work wid deh suh, because a deh suh di vibes deh," remarked promoter Biggy.
It has been reported that Clear Channel-owned New York radio station Power 105 withdrew its sponsorship from this past Saturday's Reggae CariFest at Randalls Island, after pressure from gay rights groups Gay Men of African Descent (GMAD) and Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). The groups protested the concert?s inclusion of Buju Banton (who has publicly disavowed violence against gays) and Bounty Killer.
Producer/keyboardist Victor Axelrod's (a.k.a. Ticklah) big dub album hits the streets September 18. Ticklah Vs. Axelrod (Easy Star) features vocalists Mikey General, Rob Symeonn, and flygirl Vinia Mojica. Fans of King Tubby, Glen Brown, and Scientist should rush to get this album when it drops!
The Hard Beat reggae news site has the latest on dancehall group Voicemail's latest tour, and up-and-coming sounds from Red Diamond with new vocalist Prestige.
Dancehall music's violent image is explored and explained in a thought-provoking editorial, in Caribbean web portal One876 this week. Writer A.K.A. poses the question: "If dancehall were to change and do an about-face towards positive values and culture, would the kids want to listen?"
Frenchie's (Maximum Sound) Ashanti Warrior, a mid-tempo roots riddim, has cuts by Jah Mason, Anthony B, Da'Ville, and Jahmali. The bubbly dancehall beat of Big Up by King Jammy's son, John John, features Capleton, Assassin, Ele, and Sizzla. Meanwhile, John John's brother Baby G's got his new Gang War riddim running hot, with cuts from Jr. Gong, Mavado, and Bounty Killer. Great '90s deejays Jr. Cat, Reggie Stepper, and singer Little Twitch appear on Sweet Beat's new Ganja Camp, a version of Cornell Campbell's "Up Park Camp." Finally, Tiger Records' Ol Sittin riddim is a bittersweet melody, with nice tracks from Norris Man and Perfect.
In a correction to our previous news item on the Trojan Records 40th Anniversary remix series, note that Justin Robertson's funk/breaks remix of The Pioneers' "(I Need Your) Sweet Inspiration" is out now, and Fatboy Slim's downtempo/hip-hop remix of The Charmers' "Rudeboy Train" will be released on September 3.


Nominally edited from 25 hours of footage found at a murder site the film is the footage shot by a seemingly sweet but not all there young man who wants to make a movie with Anne Hathaway. Falling in love with her after seeing DARK KNIGHT RISES he proceeds to shoot some footage in the form of a video letter to convince her to go to Romania and make the film. In order to show her what the film will look like he hires actresses to act out some of the scenes but it all goes horribly wrong as its clear he has no idea what he's doing.
Less terrifying than really uncomfortable this is just like watching a clueless person dream way beyond their reach. In some ways it's incredibly sad. There is no fear, there is no terror, there is only watching our hero, played by writer director and jack of all trades Adrian Tofei do things that prove how clueless he is (the character not the director).
To be honest on a technical level Tofei has made an interesting film. I like the idea of story, and I like how he filmed it. The trouble is the execution really isn't that compelling. We know it's going to end badly. Tofei's character is less scary monster than misguided nut job so I never fully feared him. I completely get what he was going for but I don't think he succeeded, or if he did it got lost in a film that goes on way longer than it should have.
Its not bad, but its not scary and so its not much of anything.

Biography of Clarkson Stanfield
Clarkson Frederic Stanfield was born on 3rd December 1793 and died on 18th May 1867, Hampstead, London.
The early life of Clarkson Stanfield
Achievements of Clarkson Stanfield
Death of Clarkson Stanfield
The legacy of Clarkson Stanfield
Clarkson was the son of the famous author, actor and former seaman James Field Stanfield. Clarkson was named after Thomas Clarkson. Clarkson's father knew Thomas personally and he was a trade abolitionist. Clarkson's mother was an artist and had died in 1801 and often Clarkson was often told that he had inherited his mother's artistic talent.
For a short period he learned under a coach decorator but after a few months he aspired to become a sailor and joined a South Shields. In 1808 he was serving the Royal Navy. In 1814 he was discharged as he was not well physically. He then traveled to China in 1815 and came back with several sketches.
The River Texel painting by Clarkson Stanfield
Clarkson in 1816 was actively working as a decorator and scene painter at the Royalty Theatre in Wellclose Square, London. He and David Roberts were appointed at the Coburg Theatre, Lambeth and soon after that in 1823 he was the resident scene painter at the Drury Lane Theatre. His popularity grew tremendously from this point and he continued to do this job till 1834.
After the Christmas of 1834, he quit scene painting but he used to paint only for two people who were his good friends. One was William Charles Macready for whom he had designed scenery for his stage productions and another was Charles Dickens for whom he painted the theatrical scenes.
Dutch Boats in a Gale by Clarkson Stanfield
Clarkson partnered with David Roberts and started producing several large scale diorama and panorama projects. The development that they made was "moving diorama" and "moving panorama". It consisted of huge paintings that unfolded upon rollers like huge scrolls. They were complemented with sound and light effects and it had created anticipation among the people in the nineteenth century for cinema.
They both had total produced 8 such projects and two are noteworthy; "Bombardment of Algiers" and "The Battle of Navarino". They both then toured in Germany and Italy and produced two more such projects. One was 'The Military Pass of the Simplon' which Clarkson produced only within eleven days and the other one was 'Venice and Its Adjacent Islands'. They earned a fee of 300 euro.
In the meantime, Clarkson had also developed his skill as an easel painter. He first exhibited his paintings in the Royal Academy. He was one of the founders of the Society of British Artists and its presidents. He exhibited his painting 'Wreckers of Fort Rouge' at the British Institution and it earned him 50 guineas. He was also elected as the Associate member of the Royal Academy and then became a full academician.
King William IV also took interest in his paintings and admired his painting "St. Michaels Mount" at the Academy and later commissioned his two paintings "Opening of New London Bridge" and "The Portsmouth Harbour".
Painting was done by Clarkson Stanfield
Clarkson died in London on 18th May 1867
Clarkson had produced several notable paintings. Some of them are:
Battle of Trafalgar by Clarkson Stanfield
'The Battle of Trafalgar'
'The Castle of Ischia' which is now in Sunderland Museum and Art Gallery.
'Isola Bella'
'Bearing the body of Nelson'
He was known for his scene painting and the way he used colors in his painting. There was something spectacular in every painting he did and stood out in its own way. His eldest son George Clarkson Stanfield was trained him and painted similar subjects like his father. His grandson, Joseph Richard Bagshawe also was a marine painter.

This shoot was a beast. All told, we made three separate trips to this property. In addition to the first main shoot, Kirk and I came back for a twilight shoot, and I went back a third time to get extra images (a key shot I missed the first time around and more angles the client decided he wanted).
On the upside, the income from this shoot paid for a new lens! We've added a Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L to our equipment bag.
There's no such thing as too much expectation clarification between two parties. Even after you've beat the dead horse senseless, it still probably won't be enough. Be prepared to put in the extra effort required to close the expectation gap between you and your client.
I love your real estate photos. I love houses (probably because I'll never own one), and I get such a kick out of seeing how people decorate interiors. I can't believe how ridiculously huge this one is!
How much for that shack?
Thanks, Marina! Ya, this one was sprawling. Decadently so.
Cheers, Dad. It's offered at a range between $5,275,000 and $5,925,000.

Q: I'm Getting Ngrok Error 6022 after doing everything properly You can refer to my images for details.
This is the code I'm running on colab:
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')

cd /content/drive/MyDrive/mini

!curl -s https://ngrok-agent.s3.amazonaws.com/ngrok.asc | sudo tee
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ngrok.asc >/dev/null && echo "deb https://ngrok-agent.s3.amazonaws.com
buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ngrok.list && sudo apt update && sudo apt
install ngrok

!ngrok authtoken "I added my auth token here"

from pyngrok import ngrok
from flask_ngrok import run_with_ngrok
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
run_with_ngrok(app)
@app.route('/')
def text():
  return f"Running Flask on Google Colab"

app.run()

Getting this output:
 * Serving Flask app "__main__" (lazy loading)
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment.
   Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Debug mode: off

127.0.0.1 - - [17/Apr/2022 09:03:32] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 -

When I click on the ngrok link i.e http://de4b-35-230-126-117.ngrok.io this one it gives me this.
ERR_NGROK_6022
Before you can serve HTML content, you must sign up for a free ngrok account and install your
authtoken.

So can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Cuz I installed ngrok also and install auth token also in colab but still getting this error.

A: I was having the same issue, ngrok updated to v3 and you can either use pyngrok or update your code
Solution 1:
Remove the curl commands, and add this instead:
!pip install pyngrok==4.1.1
Solution 2:
Update your methods to bind authtoken by following the new documentation
https://ngrok.com/docs/guides/upgrade-v2-v3

A: The easiest way is to install, pyngrok==4.1.1 by typing,
!pip install pyngrok==4.1.1

No " " marks when adding the auth token.
Remove the !curl.... command, It is unnecessary.
Check this out,
!pip install pyngrok==4.1.1
!pip install flask_ngrok

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')

cd /content/drive/MyDrive/mini

!ngrok authtoken "Add auth token here" #Without "" marks

from flask_ngrok import run_with_ngrok
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
run_with_ngrok(app)
@app.route('/')
def text():
  return f"Running Flask on Google Colab"

app.run()

A: A bit more general as is not very clear from documentation ERR_NGROK_6022 about such error
or similar error even when tunneling connection is stablished(ERR_NGROK_8012)
This error in general happens even if you have your authtoken under ngrok.yml but are running your tunneling under your application(my case is simply a jsonserver) folder.
Simply solution is to run your tunneling, under the same folder where indeed this ngrok.yml file is, or in your script to point to use the authtoken.
So in ubuntu 18.04, a standard location for install of ngrok is ~/snap/ngrok/79/.config(version may change and I assume the installation is via snap).
there run:
ngrok http yourPort (for jsonserver default is 3000)

Hope this may help someone

A: For me configuring the auth token in the ngrok.yml was not working.
But running the ngrok command with the auth token works:
ngrok http <port_here> --authtoken <my_token_here>

A: I did This it worked for me
CODE:
import os
import threading

from flask import Flask, request, render_template
from pyngrok import ngrok

os.environ["FLASK_ENV"] = "development"

app = Flask(__name__)
port = 5000

# Open a ngrok tunnel to the HTTP server
public_url = ngrok.connect(port).public_url
print(" * ngrok tunnel \"{}\" -> \"http://127.0.0.1:{}\"".format(public_url, port))

# Update any base URLs to use the public ngrok URL
app.config["BASE_URL"] = public_url

# ... Update inbound traffic via APIs to use the public-facing ngrok URL

# Define Flask routes
@app.route("/")
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')

@app.route("/add", methods=['GET','POST'])
def add():
    global name
    if request.method == 'POST' and 'username' in request.form :
      name=request.form['text']
      print(name)
    return render_template('index.html')

# Start the Flask server in a new thread
threading.Thread(target=app.run, kwargs={"use_reloader": False}).start()

Getting the proper results now:

Satun, Thailand – Photos From Our Next Home?
We plan to spend some time on the hard doing some major refitting to Esper. Unfortunately Malaysia doesn't really figure as a viable option for the amount of work we're planning so the obvious alternative is to get the work done in Thailand. No great shakes since we're only 200 miles from Phuket where all the big boat yards are, but there's another option: head 25 miles east from Langkawi to the mainland and check in to Satun's boatyard, PSS. Here's a brief intro to this sleepy town, packed full of images.

Plug-in home charging stations make level 2 charging easy and affordable

For most people planning to switch to an EV, home charging infrastructure is a major consideration. Depending on the style and specific brand of charger, getting ready to charge can involve contractors, electricians, and a substantial expense. However, a new generation of 240-volt home-based chargers are knocking down barriers to EV ownership. All you need is a standard 240-volt circuit of the type commonly used for clothes dryers and electric stoves.
Wiring and power requirements
The challenge is that most 240-volt circuits in a home are already in use. No one wants to unplug the dryer when it's time to charge the car, or interrupt their vehicle charging to cook dinner. Any level 2 charger will require a dedicated circuit. Further, the plugs for those purposes tend to be located behind the appliance, and that's not always convenient for charging purposes.

Most homes will need to install a circuit appropriate to the charger. For most purposes, that's 50 amps at 240 volts. Unless you've got real experience with high voltage wiring and electrical codes in your area, it's a good idea to call a professional electrician. The good news is that the circuit should be straightforward and if it's in the garage, can be run along the surface of the wall.
VIEW: Official EPA-rated range of Ford Mach-E
If a 50-amp circuit isn't possible with a given home's electrical system, many charging boxes can also operate on a 30-amp circuit. They simply use less amperage and take somewhat longer to deliver a charge. For example, with a 50-amp circuit the Enel X JuiceBox 40 charges at 40 amps or 10 kilowatts. With the available adapter for a 30-amp circuit, the same unit charges at 24 amps.

Enel X also offers the JuiceBox in 32-amp and 48-amp varieties. The latest Enel X products can also accept power on 20-amp circuits, providing 16 amps of charging capability. ChargePoint also offers home chargers that operate between 16 and 50 amps of capability. Note that the 48- to 50-Amp chargers require a 60- to 80-amp circuit and a hard-wired connection rather than an outlet and plug.
Simple DIY installation
If you've got the outlet ready to go, installing a home charging station is a snap. We recently installed the Enel X JuiceBox on an existing 50-amp 240-volt circuit. The entire process took about 10 minutes. Most of that time will be spent locating and marking a solid attachment point (usually a wall stud) near the outlet. The power cords for plug-in units are short, so measure and make sure it will reach with a bit of slack.
REVIEW: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E
The actual JuiceBox installation is simply screwing the wall mounting bracket into the stud, hang the unit on the wall, and plug it in. Once installed, the JuiceBox includes a locking mechanism that discourages theft. ChargePoint units hang directly on screws without the use of a bracket. Once it's plugged in, you're ready to charge.
One big advantage of a plug-in unit is that it can be removed in minutes and taken with you if you move. Hardwired units may be difficult or impossible to transfer to a new location.

Both the Enel X JuiceBox and ChargePoint Home Flex include Wi-Fi connection capability to allow monitoring and control of the charging unit. Smart home devices such as Amazon Alexa and Echo as well as Google Home. Ford's upcoming Connected Charge Station will also have similar capabilities.
When connected to Wi-Fi, the JuiceBox web portal or phone app allows you to set a charging schedule to take advantage of low-cost energy if you have a time-of-use rate plan, track energy usage, and set charging reminders.
If you don't have Wi-Fi signal in your installed location, the JuiceBox simply charges a vehicle when connected.
Compared to portable charging adapters

Like all electric cars, the 2021 Ford Mach-E comes with a portable charging unit that is capable of plugging into a standard 120-volt household outlet. Some, also like the Mach-E, have an adapter to also plug into a 240-volt, 50-amp outlet, but it's limited to 30 amps. If you've got a 50-amp circuit, you won't get the most efficient charging out of it with the portable cable.
Ford's Connected Charge Station charges at up to 50 amps but requires at least a 60-amp circuit and hardwiring. The Enel X JuiceBox 40 retails for about $619 (Enel X / Amazon), while the ChargePoint Home Flex retails at $649. Both the ChargePoint and the JuiceBox products are less expensive than Ford's Connected Charge Station, which is priced at $799.

The first stop will be to KERTHAGOSA (the biggest royal palace in Bali). in the city Klungkung – Bali, Indonesia.
After that we will stop at the Bat Cave Temple. I will provide sarongs for you to enter the holy places in Bali so that you don't have to rent it at the entrance. Nearby the Bat Cave Temple, there are a few local restaurant that serve seafood such as fish satay, fish pepes, fish soup and many more.
Balinese tradition of salt farming dates back almost a thousand years, but is only recently gaining appreciation by not only fascinated tourists, but also by salt connoisseurs.
Candidasa is a small village that has many hotels, resorts and villas. Not far from there, we will pass 'BUMPY ROAD' to experience the beauty of the White Sandy Beach.
Tenganan is very unique local community life pattern which is one example of Bali Aga Village cultures (Hindu Prehistoric) and different with other countryside in plain of Bali.
This is the place where the King and Queen used to take their bath, a very long time ago. Tirta Gangga is named after the holy river for the Hindu people in India.
Its beautiful white sand and clear blue water, you can even see the view underwater. The coconut palms provide shade and beautifull angle.

Demi Lovato's Sister Dallas Has Some Words For the Body-Shaming Haters
Katrina Nattress
Daniel Boczarski, Getty Images
Dallas Lovato is fed up with those who have been commenting on her sister's weight. Last month, Demi Lovato went home to Los Angeles after spending months in rehab following a drug overdose over the summer. She looked happy and healthy in the photos, but trolls decided to take a positive and make it a negative (as they do), commenting that the pop star looked like she gained some weight during her rehab stay.
On Tuesday, her 30-year-old sister posted an expletive-filled Instagram Live photo, addressing the body shamers.
"To all the f--king tabloids that are out there right now that are calling my sister fat, go f--k yourself because she is the most beautiful, strong person that I have ever met in my entire life," she said in the video. "And everyone: Why are you making my sister's body the topic of your conversation? Go f--k yourself. I'm sorry, my sister is beautiful, she's alive, she's conquering a lot of really hard s--t so, bye."
Watch Dallas rip haters a new one below.
As the "Sorry Not Sorry" singer continues to focus on her sobriety, she's been cleaning house when it comes to social media, unfollowing old friends like Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, and Iggy Azelia.
"She needs to surround herself with those that support her goals and to stay away from any negativity," a source told ET about the surprising move. "Demi has come a very long way. She's grown emotionally and matured a great deal through this process. She realizes there is no quick fix and has accepted the fact she needs to take this one day at a time. She still has a sober companion and she has built a very strong support group."

More than 60 juniors and seniors attended a field trip to Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill on Tuesday and Wednesday to learn about the benefits of Dual Enrollment and Early College Programs.
Thanks to a partnership with NECC, Whittier students may start earning college credits during their junior and senior years by taking college classes as part of their regular schedule at Whittier. This could save them thousands off their college tuitions and valuable time.
While visiting NECC's Haverhill campus, they also learned about the benefits of attending a community college after high school, putting them on track to participate in MassTransfer, a collaboration between Massachusetts' community colleges, state universities and the University of Massachusetts that allows students to transfer seamlessly, stay on track and minimize the time it takes to earn a bachelor's degree.
"Within 5 years in Massachusetts there will be more jobs where a bachelor's degree is required than people in the state who have that degree," said Danny Richer, NECC's Director of Recruitment and Admissions.
Whittier students asked questions about managing their time and also shared their experiences of being enrolled in college courses while still in high school.

Rite Aid slashes 400 corporate jobs
Flickr user Mike Mozart
Rite Aid on Tuesday announced it's cutting about 400 full-time positions, or more than 20% of the corporate positions at its "headquarters and across the field organization," according to a company press release.
The drugstore retailer also announced several changes in top management, starting with John Standley stepping down as chief executive officer. The board is searching for a new CEO, and he will remain in the position until a successor is appointed.
Other executives are exiting immediately or after a brief transition, the company said. Bryan Everett, chief operating officer of Rite Aid Stores, has been promoted to chief operating officer, succeeding Kermit Crawford, who is leaving. Matt Schroeder, chief accounting officer and treasurer, has been promoted to CFO, replacing Darren Karst, who is leaving the this spring. Brian Hoover, group vice president and controller, has been promoted to chief accounting officer. Jocelyn Konrad, executive vice president of pharmacy, has been promoted to executive vice president of pharmacy and retail operations, replacing Derek Griffith, executive vice president of store operations, who is leaving.
This monumental shake-up, which is anticipated to be complete by the end of fiscal 2020, will save the company some $55 million each year, Rite Aid said on Tuesday. About $42 million will be realized within fiscal year 2020, as two-thirds of the reductions are effective immediately.
The moves are drastic (and will entail a one-time restructuring charge of about $38 million, the company said) and reflect Rite Aid's smaller footprint after it sold stores to Walgreens and closed others. The resulting savings will help "offset an expected reduction in income associated with its diminishing obligations under the Transition Services Agreement with Walgreen Co.," related to Rite Aid's sale of some 2,000 stores to its rival after the two failed to merge in 2017.
But, according to Moody's Investors Service, they were also imperative. Rite Aid's announcement "...was necessary to align the company's cost structure to the smaller size of the company and to offset the rolling off of the company's Transition Services Agreement with Walgreens," Moody's Vice President Mickey Chadha wrote in comments emailed to Retail Dive.
The $55 million each year "is not a panacea of all that ails Rite Aid but it is a positive in light of the intense competitive pressures the company faces from much larger and well capitalized competitors like CVS and Walgreens in the changing pharmacy landscape as scale become increasingly important within the pharmacy sector," he also said.
Rite Aid has floundered as Walgreens and CVS have moved assertively into the medical side of health care services and performed better at the front of the store as well. Despite the drugstore sector lagging behind beauty specialty retailers in terms of innovation and customer experience, those rivals have also captured much of that market, according to Edge by Ascential's new Health, Beauty and Personal Care report. Walgreens and CVS contributed 64% of the top 10 specialists' health and beauty sales in 2018 and "are also driving innovation in the health & beauty sector through introducing more in-store digital solutions and services," according to that report, which was emailed to Retail Dive.

Are you building your home or renovating your basement and can't decide what windows best suit your needs? You're not alone. Until recently, homeowners didn't have too much choice when it came to deciding the size and shape of their lower-level windows. However, modern designs offer much more flexibility in terms of functionality and style.
Homeowners are eligible to receive up to $1,500 in rebates from Energy Efficiency Alberta. In order to be considered energy efficient, your windows should be ENERGY STAR rated and provide superior thermal protection. Not only will you save money on provincial rebates, you will also save money in the long run on your heating bill. Basements generally tend to keep cool, which means that your furnace has to work a little harder to maintain your desired temperature. An energy-efficient window will allow your basement to heat up faster.
Basements are naturally dark, which means the more daylight you can invite into the house, the less you'll have to rely on lighting. Choosing basement windows for their brightness obviously has to come with some considerations. Your windows may not necessarily be as tall as the ones upstairs, but you can compensate for the lack of height with added width.
Fixed windows draw in plenty of light, are easy to clean, and are highly affordable.
When we think of how necessary it is to have a window that can open, our first concern is for safety. All homes need multiple exits on every floor in case of an emergency, like a house fire. But we tend to forget how useful open windows can be in basements. If you ever need to pass a hose or move things in and out of the house, having an open window that can easily be reached from outside can be really handy.
Single and double sliding windows let in plenty of light and can easily slide open and be locked and sealed for added protection from the elements and safety from intruders.
There's nothing much you can do about the fact that your basement will always smell like a basement. For the simple fact that you're sitting underground, the air will be slightly different, and that will obviously be reflected in the smell. For everyone with a basement, being able to let the stale air out and the fresh air in is very important. That's where hopper windows come in. Hopper windows are an excellent basement choice for the simple fact that they draw in plenty of air from the top, which is perfect for ventilation.

The concept for this new-build home, located on a narrow strip of land between a busy road and the Grand Union canal in West London, developed as a careful response to the urban context. The main volume continues the parapet line of the Victorian pub to the east—a listed building—and the horizontal lines of the cladding system relate to the window heights of the older building at the edge of the site. Due to a high level of traffic noise, the north façade has very few openings, but avoids being dark and gloomy thanks to the aluminium cladding, With the availability of light and views in the direction of the canal, the south façade features more windows and the vertical height is broken by a two-story extension whose triangular plan is determined by the angle between the road and canal. The height of the extension connects with the roofs of the neighbouring workshop and buildings across the canal.
Inside, the section is organised as a series of parallel spaces that move from one condition to the other. Each floor is conceived in a manner that is consistent with its purpose and is largely independent of the arrangements above or below. Although the new floors are open to the south, the singularity of this arrangement is obscured by changes to the section of the façade: the mirrored slots overlooking the canal, the enclosed court on the first floor, and the colonnaded gallery on the second floor. From the archaeological character of the basement to the screened forecourt at ground level, the sense of enclosure in the guest and music rooms compared with the expansive privacy of the master bedroom, the loose formality of the living space, and the open vistas of the roof terrace, the house offers a wide range of locations for different activities and states of mind. In this context, the staircases are designed to promote choice and continuity within a range of scenarios.


According to the Interim Management Association "interim management is the rapid provision of senior executives to manage change or transition". Put simply, interim management is a temporary hire of experienced management. Interim management often consists of a short-term assignment where a firm brings in an experienced executive manager during a period of transition or when there's a need for an objective outsider's perspective.
Interim management is much more than hiring temporary help or a management consultant because interim managers are executives with experience and proven records of success. Executives who choose to consistently act as interim managers often rely on referrals, so their next assignment will depend on how well they do in their current assignment, thus incentivizing high performance.
Unlike management consulting, interim management identifies a problem and enacts the solution while working with the original team or department. Choosing to hire an interim executive can see Chinese businesses through a difficult time or help enact new strategies within the business.
What are the advantages of interim management?
Although the prospect of bringing in temporary management to your business in China can seem risky,it has many benefits. Interim managers are good value for money, as there is no vacation pay, pension, or company account required.
There's also the advantage of instant results. Rather than having to spend time training or a honeymoon period with a new hire, interim managers start delivering results within days, not months, as they are experienced and ready to start. In China this is especially useful for companies looking to make fast structural changes to the business.
Another advantage of interim managers is that they offer objectivity. An interim manager will be comparatively free of bias and not involved in any office politics, thus they can lend valuable insightinto performance appraisals. Foreign interim executives with working experience in the Chinese market and understanding of the cultural differences are able to facilitate communication between the Chinese management team and the overseas headquarters.
Interim management is not as widely practiced in China as it is in Western countries. Interim management has existed in Europe since the 70s, but is still new for China. Companies may hire consultants for performance appraisals or when management needs an external opinion, but hiring an executive for a short-term assignment is a relatively new practice.
Both large and increasingly mid-sized businesses are now starting to use interim management in China. The number 1 reason for recruiting an interim manager is to help during a transition period until a permanent manager can take over. Difficult situations such as setting up a manufacturing plant in China, a change in management, or restructuring are also reasons to use interim management.
HR, IT, or sales are the main departments that may recruit an interim manager, although general management or production related tasks are also popular assignments for China's interim management. Assignments typically last between 4 and 12 months, but can extend to as long as 24 months.
Who are China's interim managers?
Expatriate executives have worked in China and throughout Asia for decades. While some came in on expatriate contracts that were meant to be short term, others stayed in China by renewing their contracts, moving on to a different company, or becoming interim managers.
There are currently very few senior interim executives in China who can enact big changes with their experience. Given the small number of quality interim managers the best are hard to acquire as these individuals are always in demand. Regardless of the state of the Chinese economy there will always be a place for good interim managers as companies make changes or have transition times no matter whatthe sector or state of the market be.
A large percentage of interim managers in China right now are foreign executives. Although there are some Chinese interim managers, most do not complete regular assignments. There are several reasons why there is such an imbalance between foreign and local interim managers in China. One is cultural differences, as Chinese society values security and the precarious short-term assignments of interim management is off-putting to some. Another reason is that experienced Chinese managers are in their late 50s and may have limited English skills, making them unappealing as interim managers to MNCs.
That is not to say that Chinese interim managers do not exist. There are some Chinese interim managers in the 30-40 age range. Compared to other countries in Europe, where 54% of interim managers are within the 51-60 age group, China's interim managers are fairly young, possibly due to an increasingly entrepreneurial mindset of the younger generation of Chinese executives.
In fact, Chinese businesses are lacking qualified interim managers to address the many economic and structural changes happening in China right now.
China industrialized quickly, becoming a manufacturing giant much faster than many other countries. However, now economic growth is slowing and China must face new challenges such as rising cost of wages, more complex value chains, and consumers becoming more sophisticated and demanding. There is also a need for applying lean manufacturing principles and a shift from manufacturing into services, which not all managers are equipped for. Many of the key problems facing the Chinese economy are partly due to lack of experience, which interim management can address.
China faces a talent crisis with executives, as local talent may not have the experience to be effective, while expatriate talent may lack the cultural sensitivity to make a team successful. The rapid development of China's manufacturing sector means that many workers are relatively new to the job. Frontline managers lack the expertise to identify problems that typically arise with new plants and ventures.
To address the problem of management being reactive instead of proactive, interim management in China could provide the necessary skills and advice to help address problem areas in a company and teach management how to focus on problem solving and coaching rather than putting out fires.
With changes to the manufacturing sector there is a shift towards more robust R&D, but also businesses shifting their focus to the service sector. Chinese managers are not used to restructuring or downsizing a business since the economy had been growing so rapidly over the past decades. For many Chinese managers there is limited experience in managing organizational change processes. Interim managers would be able to assist during times of transition such as major restructuring, and provide objective advice to managers who may be uncomfortable with the changing situation.
With the economic and structural changes being made to the Chinese economy businesses are needing to rapidly adapt, sometimes using managers with limited experience in transitional situations such as downsizing. Interim management in China is a potential solution that can help businesses during their transitions, setting them on a path of continuous improvement, rather than trying to just get by.
Although there is still some resistance to interim management in China, using interim managers seems to be becoming a more popular tool with each passing year.
