Steps 1 and 2 were a breeze—I soon had a collage of post-it notes lining the wall of my office—but Step 3 sneaked up on me. After delving into just one item, I realized how much time and planning everything was going to take, and I was petrified. I tried focusing first on the items I had experience with—namely, business branding—but the more I worked, the more I found myself going in circles.
May came, and I was now jobless and in Ohio. I wanted so badly to do well at this new freelance thing, so I threw myself into another section of my list: legal entities, business names, and business licenses. The subjects were intriguing, but I was still wasting hours running in circles and wondering what would be best for me.
After I had been at this for about a week, I was miserable. I was frustrated. I felt utterly useless. What was I doing wrong?
Then my husband came home from work and offered me a generous helping of perspective. I had dreamed about freelance writing for years, and now that I had it, I wasn't even writing. No wonder I wasn't happy! I sat and pondered that thought for awhile, and realized where I had gone wrong.
First, I had convinced myself that I needed to do everything the perfect way for my business to succeed—and that I had only one shot to make it right. As a result, I clung to my list, because those were the suggestions that seasoned freelancers had offered. I saw gold in those suggestions. What I didn't realize is that these writers had developed this advice after many years and many mistakes. I had been trying to skip steps in the learning process, and now I knew it wasn't working.
Second, I thought I had asked myself all the right questions, such as why I wanted to do freelancing, but I hadn't looked deep enough yet. I still didn't have a clear picture of where I was headed or what I hoped to gain.
And third, I had been focusing way too much on theory, without actually applying anything I'd learned. I'd read a ton of books, made a ton of lists, talked to a lot of people, but I hadn't actually put any of it to the test. Yes, taking action was scary, but I couldn't move forward if I didn't do it.
Once I realized these things, it was fairly easy for me to see my situation clearly and sort out the things that were absolutely essential right now from those that could wait awhile. Through this little lesson (and hundreds of others over the past several months) I'm finally learning to give myself time to get my bearings and just enjoy the journey. Now I understand that it's okay to take it a step at a time, enjoy the process, laugh when I make stupid mistakes or fall short on something, and appreciate the progress I'm making.
So there's freelance lesson #1 (or maybe #1, #2, and #3). Now it's your turn. How have you come to know what's important to you? How do you keep your focus and remain positive, despite setbacks?
I'm still figuring that out….
Have you read "Writing Down the Bones"? I'm reading it right now, and I'm not sure why this post made me think of it. I guess it's because some of the suggestions in that book pushed me to actually WRITE after a penless period of several months. Just thinking to myself, "It won't be perfect at first, but the seeds of perfection will, at least, be planted!" helped me to actually get out the thoughts that were bouncing around my head. They were nonsense thoughts, really. Nothing all that inspiring. But then, nothing comes of an unplanted seed, right? No clumsy thought will sprout into a magnificent novel if it merely lies dormant in your head. You gotta open the packet and plant the seed!
I've had very similar feelings while developing my freelance graphic design business. In fact I still feel them sometimes but at least, like you, I've learned to enjoy to journey.
It's a fun book about successful businesses begun by people simply doing what they love. The love led to the business, not the other way around. I prescribe site seeing tours taken one to two times weekly. More often if needed. These will inspire you.
Oh and, you don't need to read the book. The title is enough, don't ya think?
I love it, Robin! I often feel like people (myself included) try too hard or fight for too much control over the end result, yet some of the most successful people got where they are by simply focusing on what mattered most to them and letting their future unfold. I'm slowly learning to be that way. Sounds like a very interesting book, and one to read–perhaps while enjoying those site-seeing tours you prescribed.
I didn't know you had your own freelance graphic design business, Jonathan. That's awesome! I would love to hear more about your experiences with freelancing.
I haven't read "Writing Down the Bones," but it sounds like a great book to put on my list! And I'm so glad you found a way to start writing again after a dry spell. I seem to struggle with that on a daily basis (with fiction writing more than anything). I can't figure out why I have this huge desire to write but then make excuses when I actually sit down, but I suppose it's something you learn to deal with after you've been writing consistently for awhile. I think I told you: NaNoWriMo 2009 was the first time I actually learned how to persuade myself to write fiction, and the process I went through was very similar to yours. All my life, I had wanted to write fiction, but I let my fear of imperfection get in the way. I guess NaNoWriMo provided the sense of security I needed to figure out that I had nothing to lose and everything to gain from writing, and that even if it wasn't perfect right now, it would be a step in the right direction.
Keep me updated on how your writing is coming! I know you'll have a published novel in your hands one of these days, and I want to be first in line.
Thanks for the heads-up, Annie. I've been doing a bunch of revamping on my blog lately. I hope to have everything in working order soon.

MILWAUKEE -- Phillies manager Pete Mackanin stressed the importance of baserunning in Spring Training because he knew an extra base here and there could mean everything to a team expected to work for its runs.
Perhaps they took a step forward in Saturday's 10-6 victory over the Brewers at Miller Park. Odubel Herrera stole a pair of bases and took a couple extra bases that led to two runs.
The Phillies entered Saturday night's game against the Brewers at Miller Park having stolen just seven bases in 14 attempts. Their stolen base percentage (50 percent) tied four other teams for the lowest mark in the Majors. The Phillies have made six more outs on the bases, which includes failing to advance on a fly ball, failing to take an extra base on a hit, being doubled up on a line drive or failing to advance on a wild pitch or passed ball.
The Phillies' combined 13 outs on the bases are behind only the Rangers (17), Pirates (17) and Rockies (14).
"With the type of offense we have, I'm taking more chances than I normally would," Mackanin said. "We have to try to ignite the offense somehow and get things going."
But it has not all been bad. The Phillies had been tied for seventh in the big leagues in extra bases taken percentage (45 percent), according to Baseball Reference. The statistic measures the percentage of times a runner advances more than one base on a single or more than two bases on a double, when possible.
"A couple mistakes are outweighing some of the good we're doing," first-base coach Mickey Morandini said. "We've made a few mistakes, but I think we're coming out of the box good. I think we're hustling. We did have a couple of guys get to second base on dropped popups, which I liked. We're making plays close at first on some ground balls. We've gone first to third pretty good. Just a couple of those mistakes are outweighing some of the good we're doing."
Morandini handles the team's baserunning. He is not happy with the team's basestealing. For example, Cesar Hernandez is just 1-for-5 in stolen base attempts.
"There's no way Cesar should be 1-for-5 with his speed," Morandini said.
Morandini and Mackanin believe the Phillies are running on the right pitchers. Specifically, they are running on pitchers with slower times to the plate. But they think their base stealers have been getting poor jumps.
Hernandez got thrown out Friday because he started his move toward second base only when the ball nearly was out of the pitcher's hand.
"That's just way too late," Morandini said. "It's a confidence thing. If you're going to be a base stealer, you've got to have the confidence to go and not care. You've got to have that attitude that he's not going to throw me out. Cesar, especially, he's sometimes afraid to make mistakes. We'll keep working on it. We'll get better at it."


I started on the other side of the chair getting my hair and make up done in theater school and on set for plays and short film movies. Doing hair was my way of income outside of acting. Shortly after graduating from theater arts school, I decided to take on styling hair full time and made the decision to get my license and explore cosmetology as a profession! I fell in love with all that comes with being in the industry. I realize it's all apart of being not only creative but knowledgeable about my craft. What makes it even better is that the industry continues to change and grow. It's my priority to stay up to date on styles and trends – so as the industry grows, so do I.

Q: Offline navigation software for Android - what is out there? Im looking for navigation software for the Android platform and I have a few requirements:

*

*Offline maps. The maps should be stored on the device/memory card so no Internet-connection is required

*There should be some way to interact with the application "through code"; sending route requests, getting current location perhaps, bringing app to foreground/background, etc. An API  so it can be controlled from another application.

*No monthly fees
The only one I found so far to match the above is Sygic Navigation. However, I havent yet been able to communication with the app even though they say that it can be done. Still investigating that...

A: An API will be difficult to obtain, mostly due to data rights.
For example, part of the reason Google Maps for Android has a bunch of its API restrictions is because Google does not own all the data needed to make their maps and do their navigation. They license some of that data, and they have to live with those license terms.
The best answer long-term may be something made off of OpenStreetMap, since that's crowd-sourced and Creative Commons-licensed. However, I don't think they have a solution that covers your requirements at present, at least on Android.

A: Pretty sure CoPilot meets your requirements of Offline maps and no monthly fees.  No idea about an API though.

A: i think Mapdroyd is not free.
in case of OsmAnd only map can be offline but navigation requires internet connection.
Navit is truely offline and free navigation engine, but work in progress on GUI. Not easy to search addresses.

A: There are more

Speech by FRETILIN President Francisco Guterres Lu Olo at the ceremony in commemoration of the death of President Nicolau Lobato
Nicolau Lobato
Your Excellency Mr. President of the Republic,
Excellencies.
We come together again today to remember Nicolau Lobato. On this same day for over thirty years FRETILIN has exercised its duty to maintain the immortality of the memory of this great son of the Maubere people.
Nicolau was a leader of immeasurable stature and unwavering determination.
He was a son of a humble family. He demonstrated his leadership qualities from his early beginnings, through his great political honesty and determination as a freedom fighter.
In commemorating the 32nd anniversary of his death in combat, we do so conscious of the need to undertake a deeper reflection of his personality so that the new generations can also drink from the life of this great statesman, this great FRETILIN leader and this great Commander in Chief of the FALINTIL, his example to serve as an unerring eternal reference for us.
Nicolau was a modest man, humble but also a cultured person, constantly self-teaching and always seeking new knowledge. Nicolau had as one of his great qualities the persistent seeking of perfection in everything he did, efficiency in his actions, and efficacy in his conduct.
For the first time today the State of Timor-Leste takes on this date as a date registering the history of our people, our struggle for national liberation. For FRETILIN it is the consecration of an undeniable truth. Nicolau Lobato died in combat whilst as President of FRETILIN he also assumed the responsibility as President of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste and the Commander in Chief of FALINTIL. For this reason, and by his actions on behalf of the Maubere people, when Nicolau died he was the head of state and the uncontestable leader of the Maubere people. In this way, from this day onwards, FRETILIN has decided to transfer to the State the responsibility of acknowledging this date as an important date in our history to be commemorated annually throughout our whole country.
Today as we commemorate 32 years, we do so before the palace that now takes the name of Nicolau Lobato. FRETILIN expresses its gratitude to the President of the Republic for his timely decision of baptizing this palace with the name of our immortal Nicolau Lobato. With this today, we close the doors on 2010. Within a few hours we will be entering 2011. In the past year, on this same day, FRETILIN through its Secretary General launched a challenge for all to join us in the quest of making the decade 2010-2020 the decade of peace, stability and the catalyst for development. We reiterate this same appeal today under the silent watch of Nicolau Lobato. We, FRETILIN, reject violence as a tool to conquest power. We have already demonstrated this in practice. For us 2011 will be a year of crucial importance to affirm this principle of the rejection of violence and of respecting the will of the people freely expressed in elections. Because of this we launch our challenge for us all to make 2011 the year of building trust among us Timorese, a year of consolidation of our democracy and rule of law.
For our part we will do everything to contribute to these ends.
The struggle continues.
Francisco Guterres Lu-Olo
President of FRETILIN
at Friday, December 31, 2010
This one of the Maubere heroes that one should not and must not forget!
N.Lobato being as a model for all Fretilin generation.The history will tell that only fretilin truly fought for independence of our beloved country.We the next generation of fretilin will continue fight to enemy who want to colonize Timor Leste.As new generation we'll keep continue LIBERTASAUN DA PATRIA E LIBERTASAUN DO POVO MAUBERE.
Praud for N.Lobato..
hope the timorese people are touch with the history..
a luta continua
the struggle continue

Business law Case questions regarding contracts, the UCC and sales
I don't understand this Business Law question and need help to study.
For this week's Case Questions, you must answer four synthesizing questions regarding contracts, the UCC, and sales. See the Assignment Expectations page for more detail.
The Madariagas owned a restaurant where they served "Albert's Famous Mexican Hot Sauce." They entered into a contract to sell the restaurant and the formula for the secret sauce to Morris. Although Morris paid the agreed-upon price, the sellers refused to give him the recipe unless he also paid them lifetime royalties for the salsa. Which of these remedies should Morris seek: expectation, restitution, specific performance, or reformation? Why?
A manufacturer delivers a new tractor to Farmer Ted on the first day of the harvest season. But the tractor will not start. It takes two weeks for the right parts to be delivered and installed. The repair bill comes to $1,000. During the two weeks, some acres of Farmer Ted's crops die. He argues in court that his lost profit on those acres is $60,000. The jury awards the full $1,000 for the tractor repairs, and $60,000 for the lost crops. Identify the two types of awards (an award is also known as an interest or remedy in this week's material).
Blair Co.'s top officers asked an investment bank to find a buyer for the company. The bank sent an engagement letter to Blair with the following language: "If, within 24 months after the termination of this agreement, Blair is bought by anyone with whom Bank has had substantial discussions about such a sale, Blair must pay Bank its full fee." Is there any problem with the drafting of this provision? What could be done to clarify the language?

David Bashevkin (also spelled Dovid Bashevkin, born February 15, 1985) is an American rabbi, writer, professor, and podcast host based in New York. He is currently Director of Education of NCSY, an Orthodox Union youth group.

Early life and education
Bashevkin is a graduate of DRS HALB (Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys). He earned his bachelor's degree in Talmudic Studies at Ner Israel Rabbinical College in 2006. After receiving his rabbinic ordination at Yeshiva University's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, he graduated with a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Polish Hassidut under Yaakov Elman at Yeshiva University's Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies in 2010. From 2013 to 2022, he studied for a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Management at The New School's Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy, where he focused on crisis management.

Career

NCSY
Bashevkin began his academic career as an associate director of education at NCSY, the youth division of the Orthodox Union, from 2010 to 2013 before becoming the group's director of education. As the leader of NCSY, he has directed many youth seminars and programs and has also developed curricula for staff and teens.

Academia
Bashevkin served as an adjunct professor at Long Island University from 2010 to 2011. He currently teaches courses on public policy, religious crisis, and rabbinic thought at Yeshiva University in the Isaac Breuer College of Hebraic Studies as well the Sy Syms School of Business.

Writing

The podcasts are organized by topic with each topic featuring 2-4 guests. Past topics included Biblical criticism, "Off the derech," and Jewish mysticism, and past guests included Gary Gulman, Moshe Weinberger, and Jeremy England.

Publications

Books
Bashevkin's published books include B'Rogez Rachem Tizkor Sin•a•gogue: Sin and Failure in Jewish Thoughts, and Top 5: Lists of Jewish Character and Characters.

Sin•a•gogue draws extensively from the works of Rabbi Zadok HaKohen Rabinowitz, a 19th-century Chasidic rabbi. Many of Bashevkin's ideas in the book were based on Zadok's theology on sin.

He also authored the NCSY Haggadah entitled Just One.

Q: Search implementation using Rx.Net I am creating a search page implementation using Rx in C#. I have created a generic search method to search a keyword and add list of result on UI. Below is the code:
Generic Search Method:
   public static IObservable<TResult> GetSearchObservable<TInput, TResult>(INotifyPropertyChanged propertyChanged,
                string propertyName, TInput propertyValue, Func<TInput, TResult> searchFunc)
            {
                // Text change event stream
                var searchTextChanged = Observable.FromEventPattern<PropertyChangedEventHandler, PropertyChangedEventArgs>(
                                                  ev => propertyChanged.PropertyChanged += ev,
                                                  ev => propertyChanged.PropertyChanged -= ev

                var inputStringStream = searchTextChanged.Throttle(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500))
                                                         .Select(arg => propertyValue);

                // Setup an Observer for the search operation
                var search = Observable.ToAsync<TInput, TResult>(searchFunc);

                // Chain the input event stream and the search stream, cancelling searches when input is received
                var results = from searchTerm in inputStringStream
                              from result in search(propertyValue).TakeUntil(inputStringStream)
                              select result;

                return results;
            }

Usage of Search Generic Method:
  var rand = new Random();
            SearchObservable.GetSearchObservable<string, string>(this, "SearchString", SearchString, search =>
            {
                Task.WaitAll(Task.Delay(500));

                return SearchString;
            })
            .ObserveOnDispatcher()
            .Subscribe(rese =>
            {
                LstItems.Clear();

                LstItems.Add(SearchString);

                // Heavy operation lots of item to add to UI
                for(int i = 0; i < 200000; i++)
                {
                    LstItems.Add(rand.Next(100, 100000).ToString());
                }

                Result = rese;
            });

There are 2 problems in this code need help to fix those:

*

*The search keyword that is passed in the generic method line from result in search(propertyValue).TakeUntil(inputStringStream) the value is always null as propertyValue is string type hence passed as value into the method. How to send the updated value in search method?

*When a heavy UI operation is been done on Subscribe method as in the example of adding some large number of random numbers. This cause issue when search is performed repeatedly. Ultimately the UI blocks. How can i fix this?
For 2nd point is there any way to cancel the previous UI operation and run a new one. This is just a thought. But need some suggestions to fix these issue.

A: *

*You can pass a function that reads property value i.e. instead of TInput propertyValue your method should accept Func<TInput> propertyValueGetter.

You can also use ReactiveUI library. In this case your code would look something like this:
this.WhenAnyValue(vm => vm.SearchString)
    .Throttle(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500))
    .InvokeCommand(DoSearchString);

DoSearchString = ReactiveCommand.CreateAsyncTask(_ => {
   return searchService.Search(SearchString);
});

DoSearchString.ObserveOn(RxApp.MainThreadScheduler)
              .Subscribe(result => {
                  LstItems.Add(result);
              })

*I don't believe there is a general answer for this question. Just do as much as possible on TaskPool and when you data is ready to be displayed switch to UI thread with ObserveOn. In your case you could perhaps insert items by batches, not all at once.

Q: Disjoint unions without tags I have this situation and no means to meaningful change the data structure. So I cannot add a tag.
Is there a way to distinguish the types without a tag? I tried ducktyping, but it does not work. See my example
type Result = Done | Error; // a disjoint union type with two cases
type Done = { count: number }
type Error = { message: string }

const doSomethingWithDone = (obj: Done) => {/*...*/}
const doSomethingWithError = (obj: Error) => {/*...*/}

const f = (result: Result) => {
  if (result.count) {
    doSomethingWithDone(result)
  } else {
    doSomethingWithError(result)
  }
}

The errors are:
 5: const doSomethingWithDone = (obj: Done) => {/*...*/}
                                      ^ property `count`. Property not found in
 10:     doSomethingWithDone(result)
                             ^ object type
 6: const doSomethingWithError = (obj: Error) => {/*...*/}
                                       ^ property `message`. Property not found in
 12:     doSomethingWithError(result)
                              ^ object type

A: Flow does not support this sort of thing as elegantly as it does disjoint unions. However, exact types can help. The problem in your example is that I could do
const x: Error = {message: 'foo', count: 'bar'};
f(x);

The assignment is valid because my object literal satisfies the x interface. So, while you know that if something is an Error, it has a message property, you do not know anything about what other properties it has. So, checking that the count property exists does not prove that you have a valid object of type Done.
Exact types can help here:
type Result = Done | Error; // a disjoint union type with two cases
type Done = {| count: number |}
type Error = {| message: string |}

const doSomethingWithDone = (obj: Done) => {/*...*/}
const doSomethingWithError = (obj: Error) => {/*...*/}

const f = (result: Result) => {
  if (result.count) {
    doSomethingWithDone(result)
  } else if (result.message) {
    doSomethingWithError(result)
  }
}

// Expected error. Since Error is an exact type, the count property is not allowed
const x: Error = {message: 'foo', count: 'bar'};
f(x);

(tryflow link)
Note that in addition to making the types exact, I had to change your else to an else if. And obviously, using exact types has the downside that your object cannot have extraneous fields. But, I think it's the best option if you absolutely cannot add a discriminator field in order to use disjoint unions.

A:
It does make sense, since your typings don't say that a Done cannot have a count property.
Using exact objects types seems to partially work, in the sense that it does refine properly, as you can see in this example. Sadly, you also have to do an explicit check in the else.

What are the main climate issues in Davos?
View of Davos and its Congress Center before the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, Switzerland, Sunday, May 22, 2022 By Gian Ehrenzeller / Keystone via AP
While the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's war in Ukraine will be the focus of the World Economic Forum, which brings together business and government leaders, there will also be climate change. It has attracted worldwide attention in inconspicuous and destructive ways.
Accelerate the rise in temperature, fury and high cost of major weather phenomena as well impactespecially about people in developing countries, pushed the problem from science to something that affects all aspects of life, including (or perhaps especially) business and economics.
Of the approximately 270 panels Monday through Thursday, one-third is about climate change or its direct consequences. U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry, Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nacate and Alok Sharma, president of last year's COP26 International Climate Conference, are among the climate leaders expected in the Swiss resort town of Davos.
At the first personal meeting of the forum in two years, climate panels are no less diverse than the topic. They range from tackling "environmental alarms" to helping countries with loans to finance the transition to renewables. Here's a look at some of the broader topics that are likely to emerge:
Several panels will struggle with an investment approach that takes into account the environment and other key factors. Known by the acronym ESG, it has become a force, with trillions of dollars invested in companies that meet certain criteria.
When it comes to climate change, ESG can be important. For individual investors, down to firms and government agencies that analyze how companies operate, disclosure and public declarations are paramount. They can be the basis for assessing a company's emissions, environmental impact and financial risks associated with climate change.

They are also controversial and raise questions: should some declarations be mandatory? Should they be standardized and regulated and by whom? Or the ESG movement has already gone too far, ultimately hindering investment and virtually unrestrained greenhouse gas emissions?
Perspectives are sometimes divided along political lines. In the U.S., many Republicans call them "awake," while many leftists, especially environmentalists and campaign activists, argue that increased accountability and transparency could lead to real change.
Many managers of some of the world's largest mutual funds argue that the ESG is important for risk assessment. Just last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the approach "was armed with fake social justice warriors".
ENERGY TRANSITION AND "CLEAN ZERO"
Leading global climatologists warn that significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions this decade are needed to minimize warming and avoid the most devastating consequences for the planet. This will require major changes in the way businesses are conducted, from the way products are produced to the way they are transported.
Several panels will address areas where businesses have successfully shifted most of their energy portfolio to renewable energy, the role of finance and government in stimulating or making changes, and business accountability strategies. Despite the heightened awareness and promises of businesses, emissions are rising worldwide.
"The transition of the climate debate from ambition to realization" is the title of one panel that summarizes a huge problem.

The sessions will focus on sectors such as the decarbonisation of shipping and aviation, plans to move to renewables and the challenges of achieving them in countries such as China and India. A strategy that ensures inclusiveness of major shifts and takes into account people in historically marginalized countries who are experiencing some of the most intense effects of climate change will be discussed.
An important part of all the discussions will be the definition of what is "pure zero" and what is not, if you look at the promises of companies and countries. Switching from fossil fuels such as coal and oil to renewables such as solar and wind can reduce emissions and bring the company closer to the goal of releasing equal amounts of emissions from the atmosphere as it enters.
But switching to renewable energy is often only a small part of the company's plans. Many are counting on balancing them carbon footprint by investing in reforestation or other projects. Although better than nothing, experts note that dependence on carbon offset does not represent a shift in business practice.
THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND THE FUTURE OF ENERGY
Russia's war in Ukraine will be manifested at the conference. When it comes to climate change, the conflict raises two main questions: how should countries respond to energy shocks from cutting or cutting off Russian oil and gas? And will the war speed up the transition to renewable energy or help fossil fuel companies maintain the status quo?
Since the beginning of the war, there has been a shortage of business, environmentalists and political leaders who have tried to influence the answers to these questions, which will be transferred to Davos.
"Energy Security and the European Green Treaty" is one of the panels whose participants are expected to argue that the way forward is beyond fossil fuels. But European countries, some of which are heavily dependent on Russia for energy, are also seeking to find other sources of natural gas and oil to meet short-term needs.
While no sessions clearly justify doubling the reliance on fossil fuels or the expansion of mining or exploration, if the last few months are some kind of guide, these views will certainly be present.

Szarka Financial | What is risk tolerance and how does this affect your finances?
What is risk tolerance and how does this affect your finances?
Risk tolerance is affected by having the emotional ability to withstand losses and having the financial capacity to withstand losses. This creates a unique risk tolerance for you.
Life is kind of like a football game. The first quarter you've got different objectives, the second quarter you might be planning for a child's college education, and there are little things that can happen in each quarter that can either define the game or you adapt to them and overcome them. Sometimes you have times where you are doing everything correctly, yet you still have something happen that you weren't planning for. The key here is how you respond to this.
We're living a lot longer and we have to worry about running out of money. In a recent study from MIT, a married couple both age 65 has a 36% chance that one of them will reach the age of 95. This is extremely important to keep in mind when planning for retirement, as it is important to adjust asset allocation properly.

Q: Extract .gz files in java I'm trying to unzip some .gz files in java. After some researches i wrote this method:
    public static void gunzipIt(String name){

    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];

    try{

        GZIPInputStream gzis = new GZIPInputStream(new FileInputStream("/var/www/html/grepobot/API/"+ name + ".txt.gz"));
        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/var/www/html/grepobot/API/"+ name + ".txt");

        int len;
        while ((len = gzis.read(buffer)) > 0) {
            out.write(buffer, 0, len);
        }

        gzis.close();
        out.close();

        System.out.println("Extracted " + name);

    } catch(IOException ex){
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

when i try to execute it i get this error:
java.util.zip.ZipException: Not in GZIP format
how can i solve it? Thanks in advance for your help

A: Test a sample, correct, gzipped file to see whether the problem lies in your code or not.
There are many possible ways to build a (g)zip file. Your file may have been built differently from what Java's built-in support expects, and the fact that one uncompressor understands a compression variant is no guarantee that Java will also recognize that variant. Please verify exact file type with file and/or other uncompression utilities that can tell you which options were used when compressing it. You may also have a look at the file itself with a tool such as hexdump. This is the output of the following command:
$ hexdump -C lgpl-2.1.txt.gz | head

00000000  1f 8b 08 08 ed 4f a9 4b  00 03 6c 67 70 6c 2d 32  |.....O.K..lgpl-2|

In this case, I used standard gzip on this license text. The 1st few bytes are unique to GZipped files (although they do not specify variants) - if your file does not start with 1f 8b, Java will complain, regardless of remaining contents.
If the problem is due to the file, it is possible that other uncompression libraries available in Java may deal with the format correctly - for example, see Commons Compress

A: import com.horsefly.utils.GZIP;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
....
String content = new String(new GZIP().decompresGzipToBytes(FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(fileName)), "UTF-8");

in case someone needs it.

Dr. Baptiste Ameline
The research group of the Bone Tumour Reference Center is strongly supported by endowments of the Gertrude von Meissner Stiftung and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF). Prof. Daniel Baumhoer, Dr. Michal Kovac and Dr. Baptiste Ameline focus their work on the molecular pathogenesis of bone tumours, particulary on bone-forming tumours including osteosarcoma, the most common primary malignant tumour of bone.
The clonal evolution of osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma primarily affects children and adolescents during skeletal maturation and most commonly involves the metaphyses of long bones. Due to early systemic spread, the prognosis of patients is dismal without (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery. In 60-70% of patients long-term survival can be achieved leaving 30-40% of patients without effective treatment options. The genome of osteosarcoma is characterized by a high amount of inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity caused by different mechanisms of chromoanagenesis in the majority of cases. At the end of 2015, we were able to show for the first time that >80% of conventional osteosarcomas harbor mutations in genes that, together with the BRCA1/2 genes, are involved in forming the functional BRCA complex and play a central role in DNA double-strand repair. In fact, the sequencing data showed mutation signatures and copy number patterns nearly identical with BRCA1/2-mutated breast and ovarian carcinomas, a phenomenon referred to as "BRCAness" in the literature. Osteosarcoma cell lines with the same genomic patterns, showed marked depletion and reduction in growth after be-ing treated with a so-called PARP inhibitor, which selectively exploits this DNA repair weak-ness. In our current studies, we follow the genetic changes including BRCAness from the first (diagnostic) biopsy over the course of the disease, first on resection specimens after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and later on metastases. Our results assume that in the majority of cases BRCAness will persist throughout the course of the disease and is not limited to clones that have already perished during neoadjuvant therapy. Another very interesting aspect is that metastases and primary tumours often differ significantly from each other in terms of number and type of mutations. The only reasonable explanation for this seems to be that the respective clones separate already early after the onset of the disease and also systemic spread is initiated much earlier than anticipated.
We are currently also pursuing other projects on osteosarcoma that try to shed light on the role of NTRK rearrangements and the IGF1R signal cascade in this highly aggressive disease of bone. Other studies focus on methylation and copy number profiles of metastasizing chondroblastoma and osteoblastoma.

We believe that legal advice has become too expensive and that it's possible to offer the highest quality service and advice at competitive rates.
We've also listened to you, so we know how you'd like us to operate.
For instance, we offer a range of pricing models to suit you, from day rates to fixed rates for fixed tasks, such as a casualty, incident or salvage investigation, or if we are travelling with you to negotiate a contract. That takes the financial uncertainty out of getting the advice you need.
And our priority is always to resolve matters, wherever possible, which almost certainly results in a smaller bill.
Talking of which, we don't insist on sending you a bill every month. Instead, we bill at sensible intervals – for example quarterly. In cases where costs will be recovered from a third party, we'll deal directly with them.
If you'd like to know more about how (and what) we charge, you only have to ask. We aim to make working with us a pleasure – and a refreshing change – and hope that the final bill will be very acceptable.


The unimpressive track record of the state's elected leadership can't help but play a big role in the fight over amending the Illinois Constitution.
The political back and forth on Gov. J.B. Pritzker's proposed progressive income tax amendment to the Illinois Constitution has begun in earnest.
Just as legislators are taking the initial steps toward putting this controversial proposal on the November 2020 ballot, proponents and opponents have gone into full spin mode over its alleged vices and virtues.
Television advertising, pro and con commentaries and debate in a variety of forums have become routine. By Election Day, appeals from both sides will border on the hysterical over a proposed constitutional amendment that would permit rising tax rates on rising levels of income, forever changing Illinois' tax landscape.
One side, led by Pritzker, opines that the amendment is a cure-all for Illinois' financial problems. The other contends just as vehemently that it represents another nail in the state's coffin, one that will harm the state's business climate by alienating job creators and killing jobs.
But there's another question hanging over this issue that surely will affect the voters' decision: Do the people of Illinois have enough trust in the state's political class to vote for such an open-ended proposal on state income taxes?
Pritzker and his acolytes promise to raise taxes only on the rich — those making more than $250,000 a year. But will they — and can they — when the rich represent such a small percentage of state taxpayers and the broad middle class is where the money is?
Further, by passing this amendment, what will Illinois taxpayers be signing up for — a rigid proposal that allows progressive tax rates on rising levels of income or a vague statement that permits legislators to impose multiple taxes on the same income?
The latter issue came up last week when Pritzker revealed the language for his proposed amendment.
His amendment reads: "The General Assembly shall provide by law for the rate or rates of any tax on or measured by income imposed by the state."
It would replace the following language: "A tax on or measured by income shall be at a non-graduated rate. At any one time there may be no more than one such tax imposed by the state for state purposes on individuals and one such tax so imposed on corporations."
Eliminating the second sentence of the previous paragraph raises the prospect in some people's minds that the amendment would permit "taxation of certain kinds of income a second or third time."
"If somebody decides there's a need for another income-tax increase, I think it's going to look a lot like a 'special assessment for public safety.' It's going to be a 'special tax dedicated to education.' It's going to go under that guise," Illinois Chamber of Commerce President Tod Maisch told legislators.
State Sen. Don Harmon, one of the leading proponents of the progressive tax plan, rejected that interpretation. But his explanation was characterized by one Springfield commentator to be "clear as mud."
Besides, whatever Harmon says about the meaning of the amendment is irrelevant because courts interpret the meaning of legislation, primarily based on its language. So if this amendment eliminates language that prohibits multiple taxes on the same income, it's hardly unreasonable that the courts might interpret that excision as permitting multiple taxes on the same income.
Is someone trying to pull a fast one here under the guise of what's portrayed as a benign language change? That question goes straight to the heart of the trust issue.
Frankly, there's no reason why the people of Illinois should have any trust in the judgment or credibility of the state's elected leadership. It has shown itself over the past two decades to be, collectively, incompetent and untrustworthy.
If that sounds unduly harsh, consider the state of the state of Illinois. It's effectively a bankrupt shambles. Now, the same kinds of people who wrecked it are promising to solve the problems they caused with this tax hike proposal.
Perhaps they can and will do that. But they bear a heavy burden of proof.


On the morning of February 5, Doug Schifter, one of the most accomplished and highly-skilled black car drivers ever to grace the streets of New York, took his own life at the gates of City Hall. A victim of failing health and financial devastation, Doug, whose observations as a columnist for Black Car News held such clarity that he foretold the dramatic drop in driver wages and yellow taxi medallion values, and predicted the escalating gridlock on city streets – who was only 61 years old at the time of his unfortunate passing – felt that he could no longer see a way forward in his haze of despair.
Over the years, Doug called out Mayors Bill de Blasio and Michael Bloomberg; Governor Andrew Cuomo; the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission; the corporations that have hammered away at black car service rates, despite their massive earnings; and overly-aggressive, app-based disrupters… each for their part in helping to dismantle a once great industry.
In his Black Car News columns, he often said that the solution to the chaos that was rising up around him, to the point where he barely recognized an industry he'd spent more than four decades serving, was a unified force of drivers. He referred to this army as his "brothers and sisters," and envisioned Black Car, Taxi, Livery and Luxury drivers standing shoulder to shoulder. He said many times that only "WE," as one, can exert enough force to have a real impact… to revitalize a profession that allowed people to earn a fair and honorable living, transporting the citizens of, and visitors to, the great city of New York.
During his long and distinguished career as a driver, and also more recently as a writer, Doug connected with a lot of people. His words rang true, and they saw themselves in him – they knew all too well his rage and despair. This was evident in the wake of his passing, when two vigils were held in New York City on February 6, where people openly expressed their sadness, and insisted that Doug's message be heard – that the people who allowed the New York City for-hire vehicle and taxi industries to reach such a low point be held accountable, and that measures be taken to fix this mess, to salvage the livelihoods and aid in the survival of hundreds of thousands of people who have been put at risk by greed and indifference.
We dedicate this issue of Black Car News to Doug.


It's May – and time to hear from my dear friend, mentor, and amazing author Colleen Coble! I first met Colleen through Diann Hunt, an incredible woman and friend we lost to cancer one year ago.
Diann was mentoring me as a writer – and now Colleen has taken the baton. She is a selfless, beautiful lady who spends much of her time giving to others and mentoring young authors like me who are just starting out.
So, now it's time to hear from Colleen. After you read her post, make sure to scroll below it to get a preview of her new book, The Inn at Ocean's Edge, and the link to purchase it! You'll want to buy it! I LOVE her books!
I'm thrilled to be with you, mostly because I adore Carrie and the great heart she has for God. She's a constant delight in my life and a great encourager to all of us to follow God with our whole hearts.
I want to talk to you a little bit about gratitude. If I asked you right now if you exercise gratitude in your life, many of you would tell me yes, but I'm not so sure. We seem to live in a culture that is full of ingratitude and entitlement. Something is always someone else's fault. We look at the house, the job, the clothes, the figure, the skin, the hair, and even (GASP) someone else's walk with God and wish we had that.
Gratitude is the opposite of pride. To have a grateful spirit requires humility. When we realize that every single thing we have in our lives comes from God's hand and not because we deserve it, our attitude changes.
Ingratitude creeps into every part of our lives if we let it. With every complaint we make, we let it dig more tentacles into our thoughts and attitudes. But we're going to break free of that soul-destroying habit right now!
Take out a 3 x 5 card right now and write down 10 things you're thankful for. The first ones are probably going to be easy, but keep digging. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Spiritual Gifts. And don't tell me you don't have any spiritual gifts. We all have them but sometimes we don't recognize them. This is a good time to really think about it and examine yourself.
Now take another card and list the trials you've gone through and their results. You're going to have to think hard about this one. You'll likely have no trouble identifying the challenges you've faced, but you may not really want to look at the way they have shaped you for the better. Most of us would prefer to complain about those things rather than embrace them.
Once you've identified them, thank God for allowing them into your life and ask Him how you can learn even more from them.
When you're faced with a challenge today, consciously think, how will I look back at this when I have some perspective? What can I learn from this?
Just today I was able to talk about one of the challenges I've faced lately which was the loss of my dear friend Diann Hunt. Di taught me so much about grabbing every moment of joy from each day. While walking with her through the battle with cancer was painful, I wouldn't have missed a single step. When we draw back after pain in order to spare ourselves more pain, we miss out on growth, on change, on joy. The battle is always worth it in the end. I would rather go through the pain of loss than to never have had those moments with Di. She made my life so much richer! I miss her so much, but I'm embracing this pain and I'm so grateful for what she put into my life.
Every morning look at your two lists and think about your day. Ask God to help you notice when a complaint or a feeling of entitlements makes its way to your heart.
Look for an opportunity to thank someone every day.
Tell your spouse or anyone else you are in relationship with how grateful you are for something they have done for you.
Rein in your feelings when you're tempted to complain about something. Yes, there are always going to be problems that need to be addressed, but make sure you're not complaining about something just because you feel you shouldn't have to deal with that. If a complaint has to be made, do it in a constructive manner not because you're entitled.
Refuse to indulge in a pity part about anything. We can learn from every circumstance and be thankful for whatever we learn in it.
Refuse to complain for 2 weeks. Mark it down and stick to it in order to create a new habit.
I'll be eager to hear how you did! What are you most grateful for today?

If you would like to OFFICIALLY sign up for The Plunge, click here and you will also receive personal e-mails from Carrie with Plunge updates, previews, and giveaways!
I love sharing my heart with you! Choose joy…and have the BEST DAY EVER!
Love, love, love that this month's theme is gratitude! At Christmas, a friend challenged me to keep a gratitude journal in the spirit of Ann Voskamp's 1000 Gifts. I reached 1000 just over a month ago and started over. As I list my 10 gifts each morning, I have only recently started to consider how what I consider to be obstacles and challenges are gifts too. Albeit in disguise!!! I thought it especially fitting then, that the second part of this month's Plunge focused on challenges–and that's something I want to integrate further as I continue keeping my gifts journal this year! Thanks Carrie and Colleen!


Ananda is dedicated to the belief, born of experience, that you can live in joy. We teach effective techniques for expanding your sense of self, such as meditation, Kriya Yoga, spiritual Hatha Yoga, and divine friendship.
Receive uplifting articles, news updates, and advice to enliven your spiritual life, including opportunities to support and connect with our community.
Paramhansa Yogananda was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and began teaching the universal path of Self-realizaiton. In his words, "Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that God's omnipresence is your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is improve your knowing." In 1946 he wrote Autobiography of a Yogi which soon became a best-selling spiritual classic. Ananda members base their lives and spiritual practices on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.
Meditation is a technique for personal growth that has been practiced for thousands of years around the world with repeatable results. There is no aspect of your life that cannot be improved by meditation, whether it be in business, relationships, or health. The highest purpose of meditation, however, is to discover your Highest Self.
We offer courses with in-person instruction on topics ranging from Lessons in Meditation to Spiritualizing Your Daily Life. Check out our calendar for upcoming classes and events.
Kriya Yoga is an ancient meditation technique of energy and breath control, or pranayama. It is also a comprehensive spiritual path, which includes additional meditation practices and guidance for living.
The Kriya technique is given through personal initiation by one of our Kriya Yoga teachers. Initiation requires preparation which includes the practice of other meditation techniques and study of Paramhansa Yogananda's teachings.
Our purpose is to help you "improve your knowing" through direct experience and realization. When you clear the spinal highway of traffic and the mind of static, you awaken to your soul nature of joy, peace, transcendence, and love.
We welcome all sincere seekers, regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability. We are committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone to pursue the search for God. You are invited to visit our temple to experience the joy of your own being.
We invite you to join us each Sunday in celebrating and sharing the universal truths taught by Paramhansa Yogananda and expressed by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. Ananda services are nonsectarian. Included in the Festival of Light service are many elements that uplift our consciousness and awaken our highest aspirations.
The Festival of Light service includes chanting, meditation, prayers, music, readings from both the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita, and an inAnanda LA Livestreamspirational talk. The service concludes with the Festival of Light, a universal celebration of the path of inner communion with God and of the divine grace that has come to us in our age.


I see I've been slacking off in the blogging field. I catch up on all your news but never tell anyone mine. So here goes. I buy way too much fabric and I better stop soon. Actually, I'll be stopping once the year comes to an end because I'll be retired. I put my papers in and I'll be officially retired by the end of this year. I can't wait! I have so much to do and so many quilts to make and so many places to go and………. You get my drift.
Now let's talk about my ever growing stash. It needs a diet which I'm hoping to put it on this week. I need to get some of these quilt tops finished. I think there are 25 tops that need backings and to be quilted. Imagine how much stash that would use up! Now let's look at the numbers.
My friend asked me to help her mother make a quilt for her great granddaughter. Her mother is ill and can't shop, so I went to the quilt shop to pick out some fabric for her and came home with 24 yards. I didn't know a baby quilt would take so much fabric. Seeing as I was out of town, I couldn't just take a picture of the fabric, I had to buy the fabric and hope that it was what she wanted. I think I could make at least 6 baby quilts with all this 'what if' fabric. Lucky for me, I like it all and there are always babies being born who would like a nice cozy quilt to cuddle under.
Okay, so I'm off the clean so I can spend this whole week quilting. Have a great day and enjoy this last weekend of the summer.

Thanks to underfloor drawer units you can stow away tools and equipment, leaving the loading space completely free with the added advantage of hiding away expensive tools from prying eyes!

All methods have been added, and all features should be available.
If you want a feature that hasn't been added yet or something is broken, open an issue and I'll see what I can do.

All methods are fairly self explanatory, and reading the godoc page should explain everything. If something isn't clear, open an issue or submit a pull request.

The scope of this project is just to provide a wrapper around the API without any additional features. There are other projects for creating something with plugins and command handlers without having to design all that yourself.

## Example

This is a very simple bot that just displays any gotten updates, then replies it to that chat.

```go
package main

import (
	"log"
	"github.com/Syfaro/telegram-bot-api"
)

func main() {
	bot, err := tgbotapi.NewBotAPI("MyAwesomeBotToken")
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	bot.Debug = true

	log.Printf("Authorized on account %s", bot.Self.UserName)

	u := tgbotapi.NewUpdate(0)
	u.Timeout = 60

	err = bot.UpdatesChan(u)
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	for update := range bot.Updates {
		log.Printf("[%s] %s", update.Message.From.UserName, update.Message.Text)

		msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.Message.Chat.ID, update.Message.Text)
		msg.ReplyToMessageID = update.Message.MessageID

		bot.SendMessage(msg)
	}
}
```

If you need to use webhooks for some reason (such as running on Google App Engine), you may use a slightly different method.

```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/Syfaro/telegram-bot-api"
	"log"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	bot, err := tgbotapi.NewBotAPI("MyAwesomeBotToken")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	bot.Debug = true

	log.Printf("Authorized on account %s", bot.Self.UserName)

	_, err := bot.SetWebhook(tgbotapi.NewWebhookWithCert("https://www.google.com:8443/"+bot.Token, "cert.pem"))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	bot.ListenForWebhook()
	go http.ListenAndServeTLS("0.0.0.0:8443", "cert.pem", "key.pem", nil)

	for update := range bot.Updates {
		log.Printf("%+v\n", update)
	}
}
```

If you need, you may generate a self signed certficate, as this requires HTTPS / TLS. The above example tells Telegram that this is your certificate and that it should be trusted, even though it is not properly signed.

    openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 3560 -subj -nodes

Quick Horror -A fast paced horror roguelite.
Quick Horror is a first person evasion game with a persistent and clever monster that hunts you down in randomly generated dungeons. Unlike many indie survival horror games, the game is played at a faster pace and you're not defenseless. Throw daggers at the monster to stop her attacks but keep in mind that daggers are very hard to come by.
The goal of the game is to get to the exit of each floor. Currently there is 7 floors total. A monster is in constant pursuit so you must pay attention to your surroundings. After level three you will be awarded one dagger per floor. You can hold a max of 3-5 at a time depending on mode of difficulty. The game features some rogue like elements including permideath and randomly generated environments.
A faster paced survival horror experience, more that just a waking simulator. Has more of an arcade feel to it.
More rooms. Although is has 23, the game could use more to give it a bit more variety. I would like to get at least 50 rooms total. If I can get funding in the future, it would be increased to a 100 with a hand-made campaign.
Traps that the player needs to avoid.
Add a leaderboard for floor level.
This is pre-released beta footage. Gameplay and artwork are subject to change.
