Life changing. Innovative. Iconic. It all started back in 2010 with a question: How do you chill wine to the perfect drinking temperature without the mess of an ice bucket? After dozens of prototypes, the original Corkcicle in-bottle wine chiller (now the Corkcicle Air) was born. Since then they kept creating innovative barware, then found our way into the hydration space, and today, continue to push the boundaries of keeping things cool in style. Corkcicle believes that the world should be a refreshing place. The products are made to enhance your personal style and reduce personal impact on the planet. Every time you use your Canteen or Tumbler, you help the environment by reducing plastic waste in landfills and the ocean. From the start, Corkcicle has been recognized not only what they make, but how they make it.


Flat Rate Pricing is a nationally recognized pricing program that assesses the cost of labor and materials in your local area and formulates a "flat rate price" for a particular repair.
Most major service providers have been working with this system for many years. The HVAC industry was slow to adopt this program, but today most dealers have this in place. Once your problem is identified, you will be presented with a "flat rate price". NO SURPRISES!
If you are a current MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT customer, you will get a "preferred" flat rate price, which is discounted from the standard flat rate price as a thank you to our loyal customers. This means NO SURPRISES that come from higher than expected repairs.
Our technicians will be happy to review the differences between standard flat rate and preferred pricing.


Rock Star Tri: My journey back to the endurance world frequently interrupted by life : Running or Racing?
Rockstar: Are you looking to race this weekend? There is a 4k XC race on Saturday.
Daughter#1: I don't think so. Why?
Rockstar: Because if you race that race it will make me adjust my plans. I hope to do a half marathon on Saturday.
Mrs.Rockstar: You're running a half marathon? I didn't know that. Where?
Daughter#1: You're racing this weekend?
Rockstar: I just expect to run up and down the Bethpage trail until I get 13.1 miles done. If you are racing I'll go in the afternoon after your sister's soccer game. If not, I'll go in the morning.
Daughter#1 (rolling her eyes): Dad, there is a big difference between running and racing.
This morning, I ran 13.1 miles. Even though it wasn't a race, this was the second fastest that I've ever run this distance (yes, I know I'm slow and I only have finished a handful of half marathons but second fastest is still second fastest).
Maybe there isn't that much of a difference between running and racing? In that case, I won!
Where's the trophy? No trophy? Then again, maybe there is a difference.
there's not much of a difference for me either... but kudos to you for doing it, that's what matters, right?!
Oh I spent many weekends this summer hosting races with just me. I always won!
You don't need a trophy to mark a big accomplishment! It's a big deal what you did, be proud!!
Running, racing...there's a difference? Wow! It's all the same to me, but I'm new to this. It's always wonderful when you see an improvement. Be proud, and keep at it!
Haha I tend to think there's a difference between running and racing....racing has some kind of fanfare usually...running doesn't. That's the biggest distinction in my mind.

Sales is not easy. Learning sales can be overwhelming. Here's a long list of sales key terms that every sales person should know off the top of their head. Speak the sales language!
Take this as a guidebook and reference page! Hope this helps with the sales lingo.
1. Annual Recurring Revenue — Annual Recurring Revenue is a measure of the predicable and recurring revenue components of recurring revenue stream such as subscriptions or maintenance. Annual Recurring Revenue always excludes one-time fees and for most organizations, would exclude variable, usage, and consumption fees.
categorized based on business size, revenue, or size of account. Usually this is handled by an account manager in sales. It's one of the most used sales key terms.
3. Active Listening — Active listening is one of the most important things that a sales professional needs to learn how to do. This involves actively listening to your customer's pain point and explaining how your product can help them solve it. A key to active listening is asking questions that will ensure clarity and full understanding of the customer's needs.
4. B2B — Business to Business. This term is usually used when the product or service is being sold to another business. So if you are selling software to other businesses, then you are conducting a b2b business.
5. B2C — Business To Consumer. This term is referred to business that sells to consumer. For example if you are running an ecommerce sites that sells products to the regular consumer, then you are running a B2C business. It's one of the most used sales key terms.
6. Buying Signal — Extremely important part of the sales key terms list. This is something all lead generation solution should use to qualify whether the prospect is a targeted lead. It's a way to identify whether or not the prospect is a good fit for your product and have the intention to purchase it.
calling. Canvassing implies an unscheduled solicitation to a business or home in order to arrange an appointment, gather information, or pitch an offering.
8. Closed deal — One of the most used sales key terms. Means that the deal is finished and the customer has paid. It's a closed deal!
9. Cold Calling — Some people argue that this method of sales is dead. Cold calling involves sales calling random prospects on the phone unexpectedly and trying to tell them about the product.
10. Cold Lead — A cold lead is a newly generated lead that has not been contacted by a company before. Cold leads generally have no knowledge of the business at hand or its practices. Cold leads are generally the hardest and most time consuming to convert into a prospect.
11. Collaborative Selling — In a collaborative selling approach, there is a partnering mentality between customer and supplier. Both organizations realize that their longer term success is predicated on both of them staying in business — and this means that supplier needs matter too.
12. Churn — Churn is a measure of the clients, contracts, or renewals you lose. Churn is sometimes presented as an absolute or normalized (MRR) measure of lost business, that is the value of the business not renewed. Frequently, churn is expressed as a "rate" and is a measure of revenue, customer, or bookings losses relative to the total value of all the value if all customers had renewed.
13. Committed Monthly Recurring Revenue — Committed Monthly Recurring Revenue is the value of recurring portion of subscription revenue. For term-based subscription businesses, this is the portion of subscription revenue that is recognized each month. It excludes revenues that are not recurring even if such revenues are on a revenue recognition schedule.
14. Consultative Selling — A selling technique that involves increased collaboration and input between the buyer and seller. This process is aimed at gaining more information from the buyer in order to fully meet their needs.
15. Customer Lifetime Value — If you are selling a SaaS product, then it is one of the sales key terms that you should be familiar with. It's mainly used in marketing, but sales should be familiar with this metric too. Customer lifetime value (CLV) (or often CLTV), lifetime customer value (LCV), or user lifetime value (LTV) is a prediction of the net profit attributed to the entire future relationship with a customer.
16. CRM — Customer Relationship Management refers to a software that is used for you to manage your customer base. This software should allow you to manage your leads, your current accounts, and any other possible customers. CRM systems have become a necessity for modern organizations as they allow companies of any size to effectively plan and automate their sales strategies through the management of prospects and customer details, contacts, sales history, and customer development. CRMs can be complex or simple. One of the best one in the field is Salesforce.
17. Decision Maker — Another one of the most used sales key terms. This is the person in a company that can make a decision whether or not they want to purchase your product.
18. Demo — A demo is a presentation of your product and most software demos can now be conducted on video softwares like join.me instead of actual in person demos.
19. Differentiator — A differentiator is similar to a unique selling proposition. It is a feature of a product or brand that sets your company apart from the competitor's products or brands.
20. Deferred Revenue — Deferred revenue is equal to the value of invoices to date over the recognizable revenue to date calculated by customer contract and then aggregated and reported in summary form. Because deferred revenue is a balance sheet item, it is always calculated at a point in time.
21. Elevator Pitch — A brief explanation or description of an organization usually under 90 seconds, or its services or products offered. This term was created because people believe that you should be able to make a quick pitch to the decision maker in an elevator.
decision maker free from the bother of irrelevant inquiries. Usually you have to get past gate keepers to reach the decision makers.
23. Influencer — A person in an organization who has the power to persuade and influence a decision maker.
Influencers may also be a decision maker themselves for low value sales. Another person that could be a great influencers are evangelist that talk about your product niche a lot.
24. Lead — Everyone lives off leads and this is what we provide for our customers here at Inspire Beats. Qualified Leads! It is usually defined as a person or prospect that has an intention to purchase your product.
25. Lead Conversion — Lead conversion is a product of lead generation and lead scoring. When a lead is pursued by the marketing team through a campaign or strategy, once the marketing team has solicited a response or has observed enough activity by the lead to assign them a good lead score, a sales representative will reach out to the lead. Once a meeting time has been achieved, the lead will be converted from the lead funnel to the opportunity pipeline.
26. Lead Funnel — The process of diagramming the stages a lead goes through by defining different levels that qualify one lead over another. The Sales and Marketing departments must work together to define their perfect lead and then create a funnel comprised of qualified leads. Most lead funnels will be comprised of 4 or 5 tiers of differently qualified leads.
27. Lead Generation — Methods or strategy used to gain interest or inquiry from the consumer for the service or product offered by an organization. This could involve creating webinars with opt in forms, using paid ads or outsourcing to a lead generation service like Inspire Beats.
28. Life Cycle Renewal Rate — The Life Cycle Renewal Rate Curve is the plot of the renewal rates throughout the customer contract life cycle for a like group of contracts.
29. Lead Scoring — Usually lead scoring is handled by an "inbound rep". They would usually look and research into each lead that comes in and score them based on their status, company size, buying intention etc.
growing the relationship and knowledge of the lead through things like Webinars, White Pages, and marketing automation to keep the relationship relevant.
31. Lead Qualification — A method or strategy in which leads are evaluated for likeliness of conversion based on a set of predetermined criteria. In order to qualify a lead, employment and organizational information is needed. Usually in this process you would want to determine a buying signal.
32. Lead Time — The period of time between ordering and delivery of a product or service.
33. Market Segment — A group of people or companies that share one or more characteristic. Each market segment is unique and may require a different sales approach.
34. Mirror- A technique used in sales to build rapport and comfortability with a client by mirroring their physical and verbal behaviors. This can be both phone calls or emails and should be widely used by all sales teams.
35. Monthly Recurring Revenue — The general concept is that Monthly Recurring Revenue is a measure of the predicable and recurring revenue components of your subscription business. It will typically exclude one-time and variable fees, but for month-to-month businesses could include such items. Bread and butter to any saas or sales key terms list.
36. New Bookings — New Bookings typically refers to the portion of bookings attributed to new customers, or more specifically new contracts with new or existing customers.
37. Onboarding — On boarding is the process of taking on a new client. This is usually the part when all the sales paperwork is finished and you are "onboarding" the customer to your platform so they know how to use it.
38. Partnership Selling — An approach to selling, where the seller truly collaborates with the buyer and buying organization to help the buyer come up with the best solution. This usually involves custom packages.
useful tool that shows the number of deals in a pipeline, the average size of the deals, and the average number of deals that successfully make it through the pipeline (lead to customer conversion rate). This gives businesses the ability and knowledge to project revenues for future quarters based on averages and ratios of past opportunities.
40. Positioning — Identifying and attempting to occupy a market niche for a brand, product or service. Positioning involves creating an image in the customers mind that's distinguishable from the competitor.
41. Profit Margin — The measure of how much out of every dollar of sales a company actually keeps in earnings. In other words, how much do you make.
42. Quota — This is what sales people live on. Out of all the sales key terms that you should know, this is one of the most important. Knock out those quotas and always be closing! A target set by the company to determine how much the sales team is expected to sell in the given time period. (Week, Month, Quarter, Year).
43. Referral — The best type of leads are referral leads. A referral is a prospect or lead provided to the salesperson by a third party who is familiar with the potential customer. Leverage referrals to make your sales more warm!
44. Renewal Bookings — Renewal Bookings typically refers to the portion of bookings attributed to existing contracts.
45. Sales Cycle — A cycle that begins at the first contact with a customer and ends when the sale occurs. Sales Cycle times can vary greatly based on the size of the deal, the company, effectiveness and efficiency of sales process, and many other variables.
46. Sales Forecast — A prediction of expected output of the sales department based on analysis of sales data from past periods or quarters. Utilizing your opportunity pipeline is a very useful way to gain an accurate sales forecast.
47. Sales Process — A series of well understood basic steps that are utilized in the selling process. A sales process is a measurable process that can always be added to and improved upon.
48. Total Contract Value — The Total Contract Value (CV and some times TCV) metric summarizes the contractual value of fully executed term contracts.

Q: How do we bring up Solr nodes in datastax enterprise with an existing cassandra cluster We understand the logistics of how to do it, but are unsure of the best practice. Right now we have a 5 node Cassandra DSE production cluster set up (replication factor of 3). We've recently experimented with Solr nodes on single node Cassandra clusters, and are really pleased with the resultant search capabilities as opposed to using secondary indexes and additional column families in Cassandra.
What is the best way to bring up DSE Search/Solr nodes in our production environment? From the responses to this question:
Can we have cassandra only nodes and solr enabled nodes in same datacenter?
it seems like we should just change the config to bring up search on each of the nodes. The ideal for us (we think), however, would be to add search only nodes to the same cluster+DC, although also from that question, it doesn't appear to be possible. What's our best way forward here? Is it to bring up two new nodes in a different DC (which appear to need both cassandra and solr on them) or to change the config on each of the current nodes in the cluster?
Thanks in advance!

A: Running search and cassandra in the same DC works if your SLAs aren't too tight and your workload is not too demanding.
If this is not the case, you want to data centers, one for search and one for cassandra for workload isolation.
Either way, search nodes have cassandra on them, that is how the DSE Search implementation works (both run in the same JVM). Cassandra takes care of replication, repair, partitioning etc. and solr takes care of indexing, etc.

Les Chants Du Hasard – Livre Second (I, Voidhanger Records)
While I really enjoyed the début from Les Chants Du Hasard in 2017, I must say that this second album completely blows it out of the water. The orchestral music is more symphonic and grandiose but also a lot darker and more hostile while retaining a light airy touch as all good classical music does. The vocals seem harsher with a nastier edge to them, while the accompanying choral arrangements add to the beauty of each composition.
Sole member Hazard, opens the album with what sounds like it should be the score for an epic battle scene using "Chant I – Le Bossu" with its huge brass and drum sound over the distinctly black metal rasps.
The first of three short but sweet trips to the market is "Chant II – Le Marche" where the exquisite choral vocals over gentle strings set the mood for "Chant III – Thelxope" where the crashing of cymbals add to the ominous feel of the brass and rolling timpani behind the crescendoing strings.
"Chant IV – Le Voluer d'Yeux" is the longest song on the album and has guest vocals by Vaerohn from Pensées Nocturnes, not that I'd be able to tell you where, but it's the complete contrasts between the mellowest pieces and the heaviest that show the range that can be contained in a single composition while maintaining the same melody throughout.
The second trip to the market for "Chant V – La Marche" is a little longer than the first, along with possibly being even more sedate in its deliver owing to the Gregorian chants used by the choir.
The far more energetic "Chant VI – La Course" is allegro to the point of being vivace, or vif as he is French after all, before the wind instruments reign everything in and the vocals become coarse shouts filled with anguish and misery.
By complete contrast "Chant VII – L'Eveil" is gentle and ballet-like in its flowing simplicity as it builds up then fades back to a single instrument.
The third and final market trip in "Chant VIII – La Marche" sweeps along effortlessly with soft choral vocals that begin to soar as the other instruments are played a little more vigorously as the song goes on.
The final track, "Chant IX – La Défaite" winds the album down and rather than ending the album on a high, it comes crashing down leaving you feeling attacked and drained at the same time.
Whether you're a fan of black metal or classical music, you should appreciate this album and enjoy it even more if you like both.

Experiment suggests it might be possible to control atoms entangled with the light they emit by manipulating detection
by Diana Lutz, Washington University in St. Louis
The atom's paths through state space charted over time as it decays to its ground state due to spontaneous emission of light. Credit: Kater Murch
Flick a switch on a dark winter day and your office is flooded with bright light, one of many everyday miracles to which we are all usually oblivious.
A physicist would probably describe what is happening in terms of the particle nature of light. An atom or molecule in the fluorescent tube that is in an excited state spontaneously decays to a lower energy state, releasing a particle called a photon. When the photon enters your eye, something similar happens but in reverse. The photon is absorbed by a molecule in the retina and its energy kicks that molecule into an excited state.
Light is both a particle and a wave, and this duality is fundamental to the physics that rule the Lilliputian world of atoms and molecules. Yet it would seem that in this case the wave nature of light can be safely ignored.
Kater Murch, assistant professor of physics in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, might give you an argument about that. His lab is one of the first in the world to look at spontaneous emission with an instrument sensitive to the wave rather than the particle nature of light, work described in the May 20th issue of Nature Communications
. His experimental instrument consists of an artificial atom (actually a superconducting circuit with two states, or energy levels) and an interferometer, in which the electromagnetic wave of the emitted light interferes with a reference wave of the same frequency.
This manner of detection turns everything upside down, he said. All that a photon detector can tell you about spontaneous emission is whether an atom is in its excited state or its ground state. But the interferometer catches the atom diffusing through a quantum "state space" made up of all the possible combinations, or superpositions, of its two energy states.
This is actually trickier than it sounds because the scientists are tracking a very faint signal (the electromagnetic field associated with one photon), and most of what they see in the interference pattern is quantum noise. But the noise carries complementary information about the state of the artificial atom that allows them to chart its evolution.
In spontaneous emission, wave detection gives you more information than particle detection, as physicist Kater Murch of Washington University in St. Louis explains in this animation he drew and narrated. Credit: Kater Murch
When viewed in this way, the artificial atom can move from a lower energy state to a higher energy one even as its follows the inevitable downward trajectory to the ground state. "You'd never see that if you were detecting photons," Murch said.
So different detectors see spontaneous emission very differently. "By looking at the wave nature of light, we are able see this lovely diffusive evolution between the states," Murch said.
But it gets stranger. The fact that an atom's average excitation can increase even when it decays is a sign that how we look at light might give us some control over the atoms that emitted the light, Murch said.
This might sound like a reversal of cause and effect, with the effect pushing on the cause. It is possible only because of one of the weirdest of all the quantum effects: When an atom emits light, quantum physics requires the light and the atom to become connected, or entangled, so that measuring a property of one instantly reveals the value of that property for the other, no matter how far away it is.
Or put another way, every measurement of an entangled object perturbs its entangled partner. It is this quantum back-action, Murch said, that could potentially allow a light detector to control the light emitter.
"Quantum control has been a dream for many years," Murch said. "One day, we may use it to enhance fluorescence imaging by detecting the light in a way that creates superpositions in the emitters.
"That's very long term, but that's the idea," he said.

Police quell looters and fires near 924 S Vermont Ave in Koreatown on April 29th, 1992. Few Koreans received help from the city in rebuilding their stores after the riots.
Here's a unique point of view: while working on our upcoming special on the LA Riots' 20th anniversary I noticed a smattering of stories from last August, as the London riots winded down. The Telegraph's Niles Gardiner looked back on 1992 riots almost wistfully, believe it or not.
During the Los Angeles riots in 1992, many store owners in the south central part of the city defended their property against marauding gangs with their own weapons, and succeeded in protecting their livelihoods and thousands of jobs that depended on them.
If they had the right to bear arms and defend their stores with force, it would have been a very different story, and brutal looters would have met firm resistance.
Gardiner wasn't the only columnist to make this observation. Joy McCann, writing on something called Conservative Commune enthusiastically cites Gardiner's piece. And Instapundit agreed, too.
In 1992, a riot happened in Los Angeles. In 2011, a riot happened in London. According to Gardiner and co., that's more than enough similarity to warrant a side-by-side comparison of how citizens responded. Never mind that the incidents were 19 years apart, the causes different, that the looting was far from indiscriminate. Or that the cities have nothing much in common other than, well, being cities. The Los Angeles riots killed 53, which is over ten times as deadly as London--1992 cost LA five times as much, too.
It's true: the Korean grocers whose businesses were closest to the flash points used large bags of rice as sandbags, and barricaded their businesses. They took up positions in front and on the roofs, with rifles.
California Market on 4th and Western was under attack. When I went there, I saw the owner of the shop with his semi-automatic pistol shooting into the air to fend off potential looters who were throwing Molotov cocktails to burn some of the shops. On 6th and Western—that shopping mall was already being torched. This California Market was trying to survive that attack.
One of our security guards [at Hannam], I met him in the morning. He's a very good-looking guy, a French Jew. I said, 'I've never seen such a good-looking security guard.' Suddenly I heard a loud bang. Many people started shooting with guns, with pistols. I saw his whole head going up, exploding. His body slowly coming down to ground without [a] head. I got so scared. Then he was gone. And I believe it was friendly fire.
Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion on gun control. Gardiner might be right that British storeowners could have protected their property last year. It's not my call to make. But if you want to compare what happened here to the incident in London, you'd do well to include all the information.
There's another big difference between the riots in Los Angeles and London--one that didn't make it into any of these columns: during all the looting, only one of these cities had gun stores.

How old was Elon Musk when he became a millionaire?
Elon Musk is one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time, and he achieved his success at a young age. Musk became a millionaire at the age of 27, and he used his newfound wealth to fund X.com, which eventually became PayPal.
In 1995, Musk co-founded Zip2, a web software company, with his brother Kimbal. The company was sold to Compaq in 1999 for $307 million, and Musk earned $22 million from the sale. He then used over $11 million from that payout to fund X.com, an online financial services and e-mail payment company. X.com merged with Confinity in 2000, and the company was renamed PayPal.
In 2002, PayPal was sold to eBay for $1.5 billion, and Musk earned $180 million from the sale. This made him one of the wealthiest people in the world at the time.
Since then, Musk has gone on to become a successful entrepreneur in many other fields. He is the founder and CEO of SpaceX, a space exploration company, and Tesla, an electric vehicle and energy storage company. He also founded The Boring Company, a tunnel construction company, and Neuralink, a neurotechnology company.
At the age of 27, Elon Musk became a multi-millionaire and used his newfound wealth to fund some of the most successful companies of our time. His success is a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, and it is an inspiration to entrepreneurs everywhere.

The New England Society for Psychic Research Continues the Work of Ed & Lorraine Warren
Horror movies are more popular now than ever before. Perhaps the most well-known series out there currently is the Conjuring Series. It's hard to find anyone today who hasn't heard of Ed and Lorraine Warren thanks to these hit blockbusters. If you know of them, then you probably know about the Annabelle doll; after all, she's had three hit movies, too.
Many people know of these pop culture icons from the theaters, but a lot of people don't know that they are based on real people and true events. Ed and Lorraine Warren were very real, and so is the Annabelle doll they kept locked up in their occult museum. As a society, we enjoy fictionalized versions of ghosts and spirits, but we hardly ever think about the reality of them. I'm here to bring that reality to you.

What's So Special About Japanese Steel When Using Scissors and Knives?
Although steel has been produced for centuries, the Industrial Revolution harnessed its true potential. Stronger and less expensive than iron, steel was core to the extraordinary progress of the age, evident in the accelerated construction of railroads, ships, and buildings. Major steel companies founded by business tycoons like Andrew Carnegie were consolidated in the early 20th century to create the first billion-dollar corporation in American history. A famous line from The Godfather Part II references this phenomenon when Hyman Roth tells Michael Corleone, "We're bigger than U.S. Steel." But then, for all its size and success, American-made steel is typically not the steel of choice for exclusive or premium tools. In fact, the U.S. is no longer the world's leading manufacturer of steel.

Su's punishments
"Shut your fucking hole, slut," he snapped at her, continuing with his rhythmical, painful thrusts.
Regret bubbled in Su's chest, currently covered by a transparent lace bra, at least for now. The man was a friend of her first attempted captor, and much more successful. The first's attempt gave Su a small feeling of happiness, recalling the loud wail of pain when she sank her teeth into the soft end of his long, thick dick, fingers digging into his balls.
It was much more satisfactory than the current situation she was in, and diverted her attention for a small bit of time:
She had been walking home peacefully, whistling softly, when a man had ran up behind her, wrapped his arms around her neck, and dragged her to the ground. She pretended to be winded as she gasped for breath, and the man, thinking he had succeeded, grinned wickedly and zipped down his pants, allowing his dick to wiggle out. He then grabbed her pants roughly, yanked them down to her ankles, and prepared to thrust his cock into her pussy while massaging his hard-on, lifting her off the ground and kissing her, licking all over her face and in her mouth. She had kicked him in the balls defiantly, causing him to drop her in surprise, and she bit him hard.
Su jerked backed to the present as the man grabbed her hair. "We're gonna put you through the three fun activities, now," referring to the three tortures: enema, diaper humiliation, and fucking. There was spanking, vibrators, breast-whipping, nipple-sucking, finger fucking, cum-urine-liquefied-shit-drinking, and anus-and-pussy-parting, too, but they were referred to as bonuses.
He pulled out his cock, dripping with cum, and forced Su to suck it before stripping completely. Su muffled a groan as he pulled off her bra to reveal sensitive nipples and large, round breasts.
He took out his dildo and masking tape, then stuffed the dildo in her mouth, taping it at the edges to secure it. "If you do well, you get only finger fucking and anus parting; or else, you get an extra spanking along with all bonuses. Now nod for me."
Su nodded, gagging on the dildo in her mouth, afraid to displease him.
"Alright." He strapped her onto the ceiling restraints, spread her anus, filled the enema bag with freezing water and pushed the bulb into her tight ass, sliding a large bowl underneath her to catch the watery contents that came spurting out after he had shot all the water into her bladder and removed the bulb.
He slapped her breasts. "Hold it for a minute." Her master taped a tight diaper around her, and eyeing it disapprovingly, taped on three more so she probably wouldn't be able to walk and had to crawl.
"Let it out now." Su sighed as he said this, since she knew what was coming.
As she released a huge load, and then three more, she closed her eyes as she saw the camera he held, zoomed in on the huge lump of shit in her diapers. He unstrapped her soon after and lay her across his knees, slapping her butt and smearing the shit around her butt crack, anus, pussy, and mound, then smeared some on her face. He mashed the rest into the bowl that held the urine, and covered that in plastic wrap. "Okay. Now leave that diaper on while I get some better clothes for you."
He left the camera on the bed, still filming her distress as she wiggled uncomfortably until her master returned with a stack of forty-eight Goodnites, a pair of plastic diapers, an onesie, bib, and pacifier. He stuck the pacifier in her mouth, changed her diapers, put on the plastic ones, bib, and onesie that had holes in the breasts and pussy.
However, he didn't throw the messy diapers away, instead shaped them into a mask and wrapped them around her mouth, where the dildo was still secured. He made sure the camera was still on, then walked away to eat his dinner.
An hour later, Su was squirming uncomfortably and gagging at the terrible smell. Her master spotted the movement, and immediately his face contorted into an angry sneer. Pushing his chair back from the table, he stood up and walked over to Su. "For that movement, you'll get a good fun bonus time tonight. Until then, stay." He walked away again, finished his dinner, and then disappeared into the bathroom to shower.
Three hours passed until her master untied her and took of the mask, Su gasping for fresh air. Now her master took out his huge vibrators. "Since we've spanked you already, let's do this." He stuck one in her wet pussy and another in her anus, and turned them both to "ultra-high". Su moaned as the vibrators drilled at her holes. Her master, however, clicked his tongue and then stuck a bigger one in her pussy, but not taking any out.
Minutes later, Su was ready to collapse when her master turned the vibrators off but left them inside. He started to vigorously whip one breast while biting her other nipple, then switched. He began to fuck her using a finger, too, and then sticking in another and finally fisting her deeply. "You're tight," he growled, and immediately unclenched his hands, spreading her pussy so wide that Su gasped.
Grinning evilly, her master took out his hand and made Su lick off all of her cum. He left to take out the disgusting shit and cum blend, and poured it all over Su, ordering, "Eat it up! Or I'll fuck you harder again." She reluctantly obliged.
"Last bonus." Her master smirked. "But there's something special this time. My friends are coming in half a minute, and you need to display your ass and wet fucking hole for them like a proper little slut whore. If they ask to fuck, beg them to."
The doorbell rang, Su hurriedly ripping off her bra and running after her master, where she lay on her stomach on the cold table, huge tits bouncing as she reached back, prying her holes open with her hands. The gazes of his friends, lustful for fucking, were immediately drawn to her.
"Feel free to punish her and touch her any way you want," her master told them. They nodded, and immediately the first one stalked over, slapped her in the face, and immediately began to fuck her anus. The others came over, too, and began fucking her other holes, some of them fucking the same ones as they slapped her, kicked her, stepped on her, and whipped her.
Remembering her master's instructions, Su moaned, "Oh, please, fuck me harder, please! I beg you, fuck me…" Her master's friends did as she begged, leaving her pussy and ass raw and painful when they finished. Her boobs hurt, too, because they had slapped her so much.
The days that followed were the same.

Q: Working out dat.gui for first time I'm trying to simply alert different messages based on what option is pressed in the dropdown list. I can't get it to work. How is it properly done?
var guiControls = new function() {
}
var gui = new dat.GUI();

this.message = 'dat.gui';
gui.add(this, 'message', ['pizza', 'chrome', 'hooray']).onChange(function() {
    if ( 'pizza') {
        alert("YUM!");
    } else if ('chrome') {
        alert("browser");
    } else if ('hooray') {
        alert("is ur bday?");
    }
});

A: What is missing from your code is the value:
gui.add(...).onChange(function(value) {

So your code should be like this:
var guiControls = new function() {
}
var gui = new dat.GUI();

this.message = 'dat.gui';
gui.add(this, 'message', ['pizza', 'chrome', 'hooray']).onChange(function(value) {
if (value=='pizza') {
    alert("YUM!");
} else if (value=='chrome') {
    alert("browser");
} else if (value=='hooray') {
    alert("is ur bday?");
}
});

It is shown well in this link: https://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#7--Events
I hope I was helpful :)

A widow and a charter captain scour the ocean for a stolen yacht
When Ingram lands in Miami, he doesn't even have time to finish his bath before the police come knocking. The out-of-work charter captain has just returned from Nassau, where he was looking to buy a boat on behalf of a millionaire. But the day after he toured the seventy-foot Dragoon, his "millionaire" disappeared, and the yacht went with him. Ingram convinces the cops that he was only an unwitting accomplice in stealing the boat, and offers to help recover it for the owner, a beautiful widow with secrets of her own. He only has eight thousand square miles of open ocean to search.
Finding the ship is the easy part. Escaping it will be harder, as Ingram finds himself caught in a tangle of lust, smuggling, and murder, surrounded by endless miles of the most beautiful water on earth.

A restaurant where we held a special celebration, a bench with our favorite view at the park, or the corner where we received an important phone call: these are all public places that can hold personal meaning. The collection of these special spots in a neighborhood is what can make places meaningful; to make a place for ourselves is both a physical and an emotional act.
W83 Gallery invites you to participate in Making Place, an interactive art project exhibiting the collective memories and places of meaning in our Upper West Side neighborhood. From now through August 25, we invite you to take pictures of places on the UWS special to you in terms of Change, Beauty, Joy, Love or Loss and label it with #MakingPlaceUWS on social media (Instagram, Twitter). Your images will be collectively displayed as part of this exhibition. Share as much or as little as you would like about the significance of the place. Please include the location's name and cross streets. A physical map will be on display for the duration of the exhibit, and we invite you to come by and mark the places tangibly as well.
Exhibit opens July 21, runs through September 4.

Kiwi Vegan Café stands for progressive Georgia. 'No place for speciesism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, racism, transphobia' is written in multicoloured letters to the left of the door. The décor is simple but comfortable. The food is tasty but not spectacular. Entirely vegan, the menu comprises of falafel wraps, vegan curry, and 3 lari beer. The real draw of this place is its values. Kiwi Vegan Café is an inclusive place that helps the community. Both foreigners and locals over beers at language clubs held in the café and street dog and charity fundraisers and held regularly. It's a restaurant with a heart. That's why it's one of our favourite vegetarian restaurants in Tbilisi.
You can only notice many of Café Gallery's details in daylight. The popular stomping ground of Tbilisi's house and techno lovers transforms during the day into a café. A colourful painted rug covers the floor while art hangs on every wall. The glass smoking room at the back is surprisingly inviting during the day. Although not explicitly vegetarian, Café gallery serves a full vegetarian menu and some of the tastiest vegetarian food in Tbilisi.
P.S. If you are heading for a drink after your meal, we made a guide to bars in Tbilisi to help you decide where to go.

Making Atlantic City A New Music Destination – Starting With One Weekend In June
By Elinor Comlay | May 23, 2018
Atlantic City has a musical heritage that is less well-remembered than it should be. Once, AC played host to jazz greats including Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. It was where Eunice Waymon became Nina Simone and it was the long-time host city to crooners such as Frank Sinatra. Now, the big-buck beach concerts make headlines as often as not for storm evacuations and parking-lot gouging as they do for drawing big name performers. But behind the scenes, there are efforts to revive Kentucky Avenue as a destination for jazz clubs, to keep the Chicken Bone Beach Jazz concerts going and to support new music.

Q: ng-hide not working on option elements on iOS devices I am building a date selector for a user to input their age. It is three dropdowns (year, month, day) and I have been using ng-hide to prevent the user from inputting invalid dates (February 30) or dates that mean the user is under 18 years of age.
Example: If the user selects 1997, then the months from June to December are hidden and also the dates from tomorrow to the end of the month are hidden - thus making it impossible for a user to input a date that would mean they are under age.
It all works fine on desktop and android devices, however, when testing it on my iPhone I have found that the options in the dropdowns are not hidden under any circumstances. I have provided a fiddle below to illustrate my point. The question is... is this a well known issue with iOS devices or am I forgetting something?
http://jsfiddle.net/adamjld/oousahsg/1/

A: Try with ng-if instead of ng-show. Not really sure CSS display attribute is 'really' supported for option elements, and it's that ng-show is based on. Seems not to be the case on iOS anyway.
Anyway, the correct approach would be to use ng-options on your selects and recompute the list of options dynamically when user change other fields.

Darryl Janzen talks "a new beginning" six months after the fire on Main
Written by Ayesha Badiola Monday, Jan 23 2023, 5:00 AM
Darryl Janzen in Janzen Paint's new location on Park Road West.
It has been six months since the devastating fire on Main last July.
Darryl Janzen of Janzen's Paint says that when he thinks of the store, it "feels like yesterday."
"I could just drive down Main Street, I think it's there. I could walk in the front door and I still know where everything should be. My staff would be there, everything is the way it was. The fire itself, even though I still remember that day so well, is starting to feel a little more distant,"
Their family businesses burning down isn't a new story for the Janzen family. In 1961, Janzen's grandfather owned the Winkler store. A fire burnt down eight businesses, including his grandfather's, that were located along Winkler's Main Street.
Witnessing the Steinbach location on fire caused an "emotional day" for his family.
"The kids had some tears because it was their favourite place to go when they weren't home. It was definitely traumatic and it took them weeks to process. The new locations really helped with the healing," Janzen says.
However, he says that he's been able to move forward.
"I don't want to dwell on the negative of that day. Definitely want to take this now as a new beginning and try and look at the positive of we could do things differently now I guess, even though we're starting smaller. You have to be positive because your staff feeds off that too, right? You want to make this a new positive environment. That's my goal,"
The aftermath of the fire left Janzen's Paint and Decorating, Best West Pet Foods, H & R Block, Investia Financial Services, Liberty Counselling Centre and Steinbach's Flooring Canada all searching for a new home.
"There were so many tenants that lost their building. Everyone was scrambling for real estate in this town," Janzen says.
He ended up renting the old Holiday RV building and has been using it as an off-site warehouse. Their new main location is at 165 Park Road West. He says it will be a "two-location business for a while."
As for their main building, he says that it is a two-year lease.
"We still don't know if the landlords are going to rebuild yet. They haven't made their final decision. There are lots of new buildings popping up and we are going to have to weigh our decision there. Staying here long-term is a possibility. We're also looking at that because we do like the location and our contractors really like the location, so it's something we're going to consider," Janzen says.
Their new location was previously a dance studio and was also occupied by Elections Canada. Janzen and his team made changes to fit their needs.
"The biggest thing was we wanted the retail space to still feel like it was meant to be a store. We took down the dance studio wall and that opened it all up. We kept the dance studio floor there because it looked good for the design area. The rest of the store is more of the games, toys and hobbies," Janzen says. "For now, we're just making it functional until we know the long-term plans. We're trying to keep it a little bit basic that way, but the design area, we wanted to look as much like the modern Benjamin Moore's as we can. We added some extra lights in there to brighten it up. Now, we just got to get the last of the products. That's been another issue is getting enough products in because there still have been supply chain issues. We're not fully stocked like we were before the fire yet. We're close, but we're not quite there yet,"
With five locations across the province, Janzen says that while they temporarily hit pause on their Steinbach location, their customers were visiting their other locations.
"Some of our customers went to our Winnipeg location as well because we do have a store there too. If you're a one-location store, you just lose all your business. We were very fortunate that we could still serve our customers and half my staff kept working for that reason because we were still working and selling,"
He adds that having the Winkler location helped alleviate the situation but also added stress.
"I had a couple of my staff driving there almost every day to help them with that almost double workload. But it was nice that we had a place that could tint and have products that we could bring back often same day,"
When questions about moving their business to another area arose, he says that it was a "quick decision" to make.
"If I look back to when we started 23 years ago, now it's almost 24 years ago, the sales that we had generated in our store were still growing. It was just an easy decision not to give up in this area, plus our roots are here. We didn't want to go anywhere,"
As they continue serving the community and settling into their new location, Janzen says that "it's starting to feel like home and have the paint smell, the game smell."

About Epimetheus of Greek Mythology
Home > Greek Culture > Greek Mythology > About Epimetheus of Greek Mythology
Written by GreekBoston.com in Greek Mythology Comments Off on About Epimetheus of Greek Mythology
In Greek mythology, Prometheus and Epimetheus were Titans who "acted as representatives of mankind." The traditional translation of Prometheus is "foresight," literally "fore-thinker." The two were sons of Iapetus, whom some contexts refer to as the father of Atlas. The gods had stolen fire from the humans, and Epimetheus had given it to them.
Prometheus then hid it before the gods could take it back. While Prometheus is a brilliant character, Greek mythology depicts Epimetheus as foolish and a slow thinker. However, despite this trait, Greek literature records the great doings of Epimetheus. Keep reading to learn more.
Origin of Epimetheus
In his writings, Plato cites an ancient narrative to illustrate the genesis of Epimetheus. He was a god of the second generation, conceived by Clymene and IAPETUS. Gaia and Uranus, the ancestors of Epimetheus, are responsible for the succession myth.
All three brothers of Epimetheus play a significant role in Greek mythology. First was Atlas, famous for facing punishment from Zeus for holding up the heavens. MENOETIUS, his second brother, took part in the divine war and was banished to Tartarus. Epimetheus's third brother was Prometheus and the two share a strong bond due to their role in the creation of humankind.
Epimetheus and Animals
According to the old myth, it was the responsibility of the two brothers to assign traits to all the earth's animals after creation. Epimetheus requested his brother to allow him to distribute qualities to the animals, and then the brother would inspect. Therefore, he armed some and left others unarmed. However, he gave all a trait for protection, such as size. Large animals could fight, while the tiny ones could fly or hide underground.
The protection technique was to prevent the extinction of any animal kind. Afterward, he gave all the animals' protection techniques against unfavorable weather conditions. After assigning positive characteristics to all animals and it was time to give humankind one, Epimetheus discovered that there was no positive trait left. The lack of traits for humans was because Epimetheus did not have foresight.
Epimetheus Accepts Pandora
According to Greek mythology, Pandora means a gift. The king of the gods was angry with the theft and men's actions on earth, so he ordered the gods' blacksmith, Hephaestus, to create a woman out of metal. Once the design was ready, he breathed life into it and she became the first woman on earth. Her name was Pandora.
Zeus handed Epimetheus Pandora as a bride. Greek mythology history records that the two wed and had children, but that was long after the events of Pandora's Box.
Epimetheus holds a significant position in Greek mythology's history of humankind. While various contexts record that he had many children with his wife Pandora, Pyrrha, their daughter stands out. She married a descendant of Prometheus, married Deucalion and they became the only survivors of the deluge. Deluge is a Greek flood myth meaning the deities sent floods to destroy all civilization. Epimetheus had a second daughter, Metameleia.
