Why Hire a Videographer when I have a Photographer?
We love photography and think pictures are important to have, so find an amazing photographer! The thing that always amazes us is that video tends to be in the Maybe category for couples. While photos capture a snap of what happen, video captures the reality of what happens. Seeing motion pictures and hearing audio of your vows being exchanged is something you'll want to have in 5+ years. To capture your grandmother laughing is just a glimpse of what video is capable of doing. Your loved ones wishing you an amazing future is something still photography can't do. Most of our clients say they cried while watching their highlight video. We explain Your story through the art of filmmaking. The style of wedding videography is evolving and becoming more cinematic. Its like a movie! Modern Technology has made it possible for us to have high end video productions at weddings. So before you skip over a videographer, just ask around and read some blogs about the couples who choose to invest into a videographer. Watch our videos and imagine having that for the rest of your life.
We are well skilled filmmakers. We are all about making your vision come alive in a cinematic fashion. Whatever our client wants is what we strive to deliver. We are confident in our ability to tell your story. We have high end equipment to do so. Beyond the highlight clip, we offer a feature length video in our packages that covers the entire day! Full of speeches, interviews, getting ready, the ceremony and vows, every dance, cutting the cake, eating dinner, your grandparents laughing, and breath taking cinematography. We want our clients to have these memories forever, so we arrange our packages just for that. Your in good hands with Inventive Films, just ask around.
How do you work with the photographer to get your shots?
How do you handle Low Lighting situations?
We have portable lights if we need them! For the most part our cameras handle low lighting situations just fine.
What do you do with our raw footage?
We save your raw footage on an external hard-drive for about 2 months after you get your final product. Clients must own external hard drive compatible to MAC to retrieve the footage.
What is the game plan for Inventive Films going into weddings?
Every filmmaker scheduled to shoot has an agenda. It can be operating the slider and glidecam, giving interviews or getting detailed shots… everyone has a specific job to get done. After shooting many weddings we have developed a strategic method to film the day the best we can. Weddings are difficult to film, we think they are the most challenging thing to shoot in the film business. The reason why is because it's a live event that only happens once, they move extremely fast and we are challenged to creatively capture things on the fly with 150 people present. So bringing on a film crew with a game plan is important.
How are we involved with the process?
We strive to make YOUR vision come alive, not ours. Some couples like to choose their music, which that is fine! We may put a twist to it such as adding an introduction song before the video kicks in! Or if the song suggested doesn't fit the vibe of the wedding day we will suggest to choose something similar to the energy of the day. We ask our clients what they want in their videos and make it happen.
Is our raw footage safe?
We back up everyones footage on multiple External Hard Drives.
Yes we travel! It's 1 dollar a mile, unless you are in Napa Valley/Sonoma.
Do we have to provide a meal for the Inventive Films Crew?

The last Duchess

She is the last great, grand aristocratic eccentric of Western Europe, with titles, holdings and wealth so vast that she bows to no one: not her king, Juan Carlos of Spain, nor Queen Elizabeth, nor the pope. She has no peer, and her unusual appearance — at 85, she has had extensive and not very good plastic surgery and wears her hair in a frizzy white Afro — only adds to the perception of her as an exotic one-off. She has led as bohemian a life as one can when worth about $5 billion, running around with bullfighters and flamenco dancers, scandalizing conservative Spanish society by marrying a defrocked priest, flirting with an invitation to pose nude for Picasso.
She has, of course, always done whatever she wants whenever she likes — until this summer, when her six children launched a vicious public-relations attack against the Duchess of Alba, who had just announced her third engagement, to a lowly civil servant named Alfonso Diez Carabantes, 25 years her junior.
What has ensued — a very public debate over the whether Europe's richest aristocrat had become just another demented elder noble, about to be swindled out of her centuries-old fortune by a potential con man — is, in miniature, reflective of the debate over many of Western Europe's monarchies. What to do about these careless, profligate institutions, run by accidents of birth and thoroughly unnecessary in a modern age defined, at its highest level, by meritocracies?
As it turns out, most Europeans are really torn. Their royals and nobles are a tether to the past, one we Americans can't fully comprehend.
"The Duchess of Alba is considered the last great feudal landowner," says Emir Ahnume Guerios, author of the forthcoming book "Dynastic and Nobility Law: The End of a Myth." Some of her titles date from the 12th century, and the dukedom has always been close to the Spanish royal family.
Nearly 500 years later, one ill-advised courtship threatens to ruin it: "The Spanish royal family is one of the most strict and Catholic in Europe," says Guerios. "It's not good in their eyes that she's 85 and getting married to someone 25 years younger. They probably think it's embarrassing to the crown."
"Rumors were flying [about the Duchess' new consort] from the beginning," says Pilar Urbano, biographer of Spain's Queen Sofia. "Diez been called an arriviste, an opportunist, accused of taking advantage of a doddering old woman."
Diez, as he is known, is an elegant, handsome, youthful and not-well-off 60, hence the skepticism.
"Of course, 'ex-lovers' popped up, claiming that Diez has gay tendencies," Urbano says, though she notes there has never been any proof of this.
Still, how degrading for the most titled aristocrat in Europe to suddenly seem more akin to a woozy Liza Minnelli who has found her David Gest, to field such tawdry accusations as, "They say your boyfriend has a boyfriend" — to quote one intrepid journalist.
Her response — and that she chose to respond — was even more humiliating: "He is a real man!" she exclaimed. "Very macho!" This from a woman who holds so much land that she could walk across all of Spain without ever stepping off of it.
The duchess of Alba, or Tana, as she is informally known (she has 23 first names), has gotten her way. Sort of. She endured her children's public claims that she was "emotionally unstable," retaliating by posing for the cover of Spanish Vanity Fair and mocking them all for having been divorced while she was merely a widow. Twice.
Then there were the rumored intervention attempts by King Juan Carlos, followed by the legal infighting that's resulted in her publicly willing all of her wealth solely to her six children, the eldest of whom is 63. Upon her death, they alone will inherit her wealth, her land and her titles, with her eldest son becoming the 19th duke of Alba and her soon-to-be-husband — the duchess will marry Diez on Tuesday, with her entire family sated and present — inheriting nothing. (Her titles can only be passed down to her children.)
Until her death, however, what belongs to the duchess also belongs to Diez, much to her children's chagrin. They have made it clear that they still don't accept him, that they think he is a grifter and that their elderly mother has become a laughingstock — the wizened widow swooning and swanning her way through Spain, guileless as an infatuated teenager. She doesn't care.
"Every great love story," said the duchess in May, "should end in marriage." Ever a woman of the moment, it's precisely this sentiment that is diminishing the power and prestige of monarchies throughout Western Europe — and as romantic and pure as it may sound, this is also a highly tactical means of survival for most royal houses. They are adapting.
Until this awesome and scandalous engagement, the duchess of Alba had been little known outside of Spain. "There's a lot more known about the reaction to her than her," says Neil Blain, co-author of "Media, Monarchy and Power" and professor at the University of Stirling in Scotland. "What she appeals to is the part of the European consciousness that's taken up in tradition. The Spanish and British monarchies are the most formal, and she's the most intensely royal and aristocratic person in Europe. It's very difficult to compare her to anyone in the royal family. She is utterly exceptional, a category of one."
For much of her youth and adulthood, the duchess lived a relatively low-profile life: a presence in the society pages and at any high-society event she desired — kind of a shadow version of Britain's Princess Margaret, a hard-core party girl without the trail of tabloids, tears and cigarette smoke.
The duchess is descended from Spain's 500-year-old noble House of Alba. In the 16th century, one of the dukes of Alba quashed the Dutch revolt of the Netherlands, and the dukedom has been closely bound to the royals since. She is also descended from the illegitimate son of Britain's King James II and is related to Princess Diana and Winston Churchill. The only child of the 17th duke of Alba, the duchess is something of a fluke, having inherited the house's entire 50 titles — and each title comes with vast tracts of land and castles and palaces. Though her exact holdings are unknown, she is also estimated to have the largest and most important private collection of art in the world, including many works by Velazquez and Goya, who famously painted one of her ancestors.
"All of the real estate and artwork is tied up in the Alba Foundation, which is dedicated to the maintenance and administration of the Alba patrimony," says Carolyn Harris, a professor at Queen's University in Canada and an expert in early modern Europe. "That's why it's so hard to estimate."
In October 1947, the duchess married her first husband, the aristocrat Don Pedro Luis Martinez de Irujo y Artacoz. The ceremony's grandeur and glamour eclipsed that of her distant relative's, the United Kingdom's Princess Elizabeth, to Prince Philip one month later. (Today, the duchess is worth $4 billion more than the House of Windsor.)
Though the duchess isn't technically a royal, there is no other figure equal to her in wealth, stature or stateliness other than Queen Elizabeth II. They are avatars of the past, and when they go, with them will go much of the musty reverence they and their progeny have been afforded. England will likely never again have a monarch who is so admired and powerful, and Spain will likely never see another duchess of Alba so grotesquely in possession of art, land, castles, money, titles, all broken up, upon her death, among her six heirs.
That said, for all these royal rules and protocol, there's a lot of randomness. "This is all more flexible than people think," says Blain. "The queen naming William and Kate the duke and duchess of Cambridge — that title had been in the bins for a while. It was revived for them." He laughs. 'There's an element of this that's all a bit comical."
As in Britain, Spain's monarchy is regarded as both a grand, stabilizing influence and the mother of all soap operas. King Juan Carlos is much beloved in Spain; his approval ratings consistently hover around 75%, and he is credited with helping to usher the nation out of Franco's dictatorship and into a modern democracy.
At the moment, Juan Carlos finds himself somewhere between the traditional monarchy of Britain and the "bicycle monarchies" of Sweden, Denmark, Belguim and the Netherlands — so called because most royals literally bike to their regular jobs while elected officials run the government. They are modern houses that don't demand much of the public and approach their role as servants, not succubi, providing political stability in times of turmoil. (The king of Belgium has been actively involved in the formation of a new government, for example.)
"People don't understand the real value of royalty," says Guerios. "The king serves; he is not supposed to have gold and riches. All these royal families think that they must capitalize on polo matches and wedding ceremonies."
That said, people still love a royal wedding: an estimated 2 billion watched Britain's Prince William marry the commoner Kate Middleton, and, as a wedding and a marriage, it was a triumph of pageantry and public relations.
"Until the 1990s, it was expected that you marry another royal," says Harris. But in the wake of the disastrous divorce between Prince Charles and Princess Diana — a crisis point for the House of Windsor, followed by Diana's death in 1997– monarchies across Europe rethought that rule.
In Britain, Prince Charles was allowed to marry Camilla, the commoner who'd broken up his marriage. Prince William married Kate. In 2001, the crown prince of Norway married a commoner, a single mother whose former partner had been convicted on drug charges. In 2010, Swedish Crown Princess Victoria married her personal trainer. In 2004, Spain's Crown Prince Felipe married divorced newscaster Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, and the new princess is also highly popular — a commoner and a modern woman in a very traditional country who told her husband, on TV, to "let me finish."
Compare these with the union this summer between Monaco's Prince Albert and commoner Charlene Wittstock. The bride — upset to learn the groom had one more illegitimate child than she knew of– reportedly attempted to flee Monaco just days before the wedding. Her expression at the altar was one of profound shock; the groom scowled at her as tears streamed down her face. It felt sinister.
Which brings us back to the duchess of Alba, who, in an unprecedented way, keeps declaring that she's madly in love. Her friend, the journalist Jaime Penafiel, recently told the press that her betrothed has no agenda. "Alfonso first met [her] 30 years ago," Penafiel said. "He says he's been in love with her ever since."
There were rumors that the duchess' first marriage was arranged in the way that unions among aristocrats were in those days, that she was unfaithful and preferred men who were lustier and earthier — the bullfighters and flamenco dancers. (It's a charge she denies to this day, and in March 2011, she won $426,000 in damages after suing a TV station that had repeated the allegation.)
"She has a bit of rock 'n' roll about her," says Blain. "She's a strange amalgam of someone who lives in the aristocracy but who has been unconventional and a bit shocking."
It's a measure of how provincial Spain was in the 1970s that her habit of wearing ankle bracelets was about as electrifying as her penchant for bullfighting on horseback.
"I met her in the early '70s," says biographer Urbano. It was at an after-party for a baptism. "I watched her flamenco dance until sunrise. She was in a dark purple dress, her hair loose. She was in her element." Urbano says the duchess had romances with many dancers (her first husband died of cancer in 1972) including Rudolf Nureyev. "She likes to live as a bohemian woman," Urbano says. "Although one with her chauffeur at the door and sleeping in whichever of her many palaces."
In 1978, the duchess married a illegitimate, defrocked Catholic priest and rumored ally of anti-Franco leftists named Jesus Aguirre, which checked all her boxes for scandalizing Spain. This was also, by all accounts, a largely happy marriage until Aguirre's death in 2001. The duchess has known her current fiance for about 30 years, which has done nothing to assuage the Spanish royal family, who are not expected to attend the wedding.
"It's very delicate," says author Guerios. "Forget the nobility — it's the family values that are most important. She's 85. Is she going to die alone, with no husband? Believe me — she's not the worst, getting married at 85. There are worse things going on."

Pomann Sound recently handled all of the audio post for Michael Mailer's new film, "Blind" starring Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore, which just premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival. It was great talking with Alec at the after party.
We couldn't be happier with the final product, and are excited for you all to see and hear this Romantic Comedy very soon.


Max's Instagram game is solid. Her feed is fashion focused without trying too hard and will provide you with outfit inspiration for days. Not to mention, she's also Head of Influencer Relations here at #paid and knows her stuff about building your Instagram following, while staying true to your audience. Now she's sharing what inspired her to take her feed to the next level and tips for others wanting to follow in her footsteps!
At what point did you begin to take your Instagram content a bit more seriously? And what was the reason behind the increased effort?
I started using Instagram strictly as an app to edit my photos – It wasn't a "social network" yet with lots of users. It had just been released! I always just posted random photos– pictures of my friends and food nothing serious!
When I moved to Toronto I took an interest in fashion so whenever I bought new clothing I would take a picture. I started going outside with my best friend Olivia, and we'd try and think of cool concepts to showcase our outfits, and make the picture pretty and engaging! From there it became a hobby, we'd take a few hours a week and go out and take pictures! Naturally, the more I did it, the quality and ideas we came up with got better! It was always just for fun– and still is. As my profile got cleaner, with engaging photos, the followers started to come!
What accounts inspired you early on?
There wasn't a specific account that inspired me, rather it was the photos I kept seeing on Tumblr that inspired me!
I used to browse through Tumblr for hours – looking for outfit inspiration and just cool "Tumblr" like photos! I'm not sure if that explains it at all, but Tumblr photos are usually cool, artsy and edgy. I think that's what inspired me, I saw photos and wanted to mimic the style – I still look at Tumblr to this day!
You don't use much hashtags (the way most Instagrammers who want to be seen do) so how did you get your page seen by new eyes with each post?
I think hashtags can be corny, but they're super effective! I don't mind a few hashtags here and there but I like to keep mine simple. I think keeping an open profile is a big thing. When liking photos from other accounts, usually they'll return to your page and like back. In time you'll develop a liking friendship with some people! With an open profile and random accounts liking your photo, your content can get to the news feed so the tactic really helps get your photos out there!
What did you do to drive traffic to your page?
I used to find specific hashtags that were in line with the type of profile I had. For example if someone uses the hashtag #myaritzia it means they're into fashion! I would go to these hashtags and like peoples photos. This was a way to bring my page to their eyes. Sometimes they'd like a few photos back and even follow me! This was an organic way to help my growth.
How much thought goes into one of your posts?
This changes from post to post – sometimes I have an idea and we go out and it takes 10 minutes.
Other times I have an idea – it doesn't go as I thought so we try different things. It takes me one glance at the photo to know if I like the overall look of it. Sometimes little things sticking in the background will bother me and we'll have to retake it!
Traveling pictures are the easiest! Those are my favourite photos because it's a new scenery and different from the usual setting.
You consistently receive high engagement on your photos. Why do you think this is?
I think a big part of my consistent engagement is I know my followers extremely well. This means I know exactly what they're looking for. And when I give them what they want, I'm guaranteed high engagement.
This means I know certain photos I post will get lower engagement, but that's okay! I have to stick to what I like.
What are your best tips/strategies for people who are trying to grow their following?
It takes time and consistency – that means you have to enjoy doing it! Take photos you love, you have to find your own groove. Sometimes it can take some time to figure out what your story is, but it'll come!
I'm not sure if Instagram is an x+y=z type of equation to gain a big following! But posting frequently, taking high quality photos, and being active on the 'gram will help!

Q: Issues when trying to write multiple files using pandas dataframe I have multiple subfolders with multiple text files each. I would like to read files from each subfolder one by one, make some changes, and output to new subfolders with similar names but in a different directory. Below is my program, but when I run it I only get one output file. What am I doing wrong?
import os
rootdir = 'dir'
for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
    for fname in files:
            print os.path.join(subdir, fname)
            file_path = os.path.join(subdir, fname)
            df = pd.read_csv(file_path, sep='|', encoding='cp1252')
            df['X1]=df['X1'].astype(str)
            df['X2']=df['X2'].astype(str)
            df.to_excel('out_dir\out_subfolder\fname.xlsx')

A: This line
df.to_excel('out_dir\out_subfolder\fname.xlsx')

is saving the DataFrame to 'out_dir\out_subfolder\fname.xlsx'.
You want it to save to:
os.path.join(out_dir, out_subfolder, fname + '.xlsx')

So it uses the variables, rather than the fixed string. So use:
df.to_excel(os.path.join(out_dir, out_subfolder, fname + '.xlsx'))

This Place of Worship was founded in 1844, and we understand it is still open.
Lower Cam was formed into an ecclesiastical parish on 14th August 1888. St Bartholomew's Church was built 44 years earlier in 1844, though it has only had a separate church register since 1888. It was designed by George Madan, the incumbent, and is now a Grade II Listed Building - see the British Listed Buildings website for details.
This Church is located at OS grid reference SO7484700363. You can see this on various mapping systems. Note all links open in a new window:

Purgatory's Shore
Taylor Anderson
On their way to fight in the Mexican-American War, a group of American soldiers are swept away to a strange and deadly alternate Earth in this thrilling new adventure set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Destroyermen series.
The United States, 1847. A disparate group of young American soldiers are bound to join General Winfield Scott's campaign against Santa Anna at Veracruz during the Mexican-American War. They never arrive.
Or rather . . . they arrive somewhere else.
The untried, idealistic soldiers are mostly replacements, really; a handful of infantry, artillery, dragoons, and a few mounted riflemen with no unified command. And they've been shipwrecked on a terrible, different Earth full of monsters and unimaginable enemies.
Major Lewis Cayce, late of the 3rd US "Flying" Artillery, must unite these men to face their fears and myriad threats, armed with little more than flintlock muskets, a few pieces of artillery, and a worldview that spiritually and culturally rebels against virtually everything they encounter. It will take extraordinary leadership and a cadre of equally extraordinary men and women to mold frightened troops into an effective force, make friends with other peoples the evil Holy Dominion would eradicate, and reshape their "manifest destiny" into a cause they can all believe in and fight for.
For only together will they have any hope of survival.

Food Justice Racial Projects: Fighting Racial Neoliberalism from the Bay to the Big Apple (Environmental Sociology 2017, 3(1): 30-41, co-written with Joshua Sbicca).
Food justice scholarship utilizing racial formation theory has largely analyzed race and racism within the conventional food system and the food movement, leaving under examined the political projects of food justice organizations to realize racial equity. This article recovers the dialectical spirit of racial formation theory, that of oppression and resistance, and interjects a distinct focus on activism in the context of racial neoliberalism to investigate two food justice organizations, Planting Justice and East New York Farms!. These organizations reveal through their work some of the heterogeneity of food and urban agriculture related race-making practices, namely antiracist racial projects that challenge racial and economic inequities. We show how these projects intervene in the system of mass incarceration, reclaim land for cultural reproduction, and build racial and class solidarity. We argue that the food justice movement, which is comprised of many racial projects, contributes to setting in motion emancipatory racial formation processes. In closing, the article reflects on the possible range of food justice racial projects, how these antiracist projects might work to transform race relations, and some of the limitations that food justice activists might encounter resisting racial neoliberalism.
There has been a national movement towards closing the grocery gap through public-private partnerships. In this short review, we consider the limits of these interventions in addressing the economic barriers shaping food access and contend that the weaknesses are rooted in the politics of the neoliberal state. We then introduce the concept of the affirmative state and the examples of the military commissary and state-run alcohol stores to legitimate the notion that state-run grocery stores can overcome the limits of conventional grocery gap interventions.
Much of the alternative food movement is predicated on a prefigurative politics of building alternatives to the conventional agrifood system, with only a smaller segment invested in a politics of confrontation with that very same system. In the context of actually existing agrifood relations, this raises a number of concerns. First, the movement often ignores challenging race and class inequality within the agrifood system in favor of realizing environmental sustainability and supporting small farmers. Second, corporate agribusinesses often co-opt the movement's consumer-centric and health-centric framings to legitimate low-wage big-box retail development in low-income urban communities. Third, the movement does not always recognize how low-income urban communities are developing language and tactics to shape local economic development. In this article, we investigate new alliances between alternative food organizations and labor organizations that use confrontational politics to demand greater food justice and economic justice in the conventional agrifood system. Specifically, we focus on struggles against Wal-Mart in New York City and Los Angeles and the discourse of "Good Food, Good Jobs," which is used to build alliances between alternative food activists and labor activists working to address the root causes of food insecurity and food deserts. We find that at the core of the Good Food, Good Jobs discourse is a politics committed to increasing the power and health of food chain workers, and more broadly, the communities within which they live, by rejecting the tradeoff between food and jobs, which empowers working class people to shape the development of their communities.
The majority of literature on Slow Food focuses on the organization or actors involved in the movement. There is a dearth of material analyzing Carlo Petrini's aspirations for Slow Food, particularly in light of his desire within Slow Food Nation (2007) and Terra Madre (2010) to make "freewill giving a part of economic discourse." This essay corrects the literature gap through historicizing and critiquing Petrini's alternative to global capitalism while rooting it in actually existing practices. First, Petrini's problematic conceptualization of freewill giving will be compared to feminist theorizations and documentations of the gift economy. Second, Petrini's avoidance of the toxic mimic of the gift, its subsumption to capitalism, will be amended by discussing how the gifting of food aid and emergency food networks actually reproduces inequality, poverty and hunger. Third, Petrini's example of gifting by a Trappist Monastery will be juxtaposed to the ongoing direct action strategies of Food Not Bombs, a much stronger example of an oppositional gift economy, one that is subsequently repressed by the state. In doing so, this essay seeks to expand discussion of the gift economy within the alternative food movement while amending many of the theoretical, historical and political problems embedded within Petrini's work, which performs a strong disservice to the politics of possibility embedded within gifting.

Q: MySql C# copy data from one table to a second hello i am making a tool that allows people to have an account and a profile picture.
that is all working fine. but i am currently working on adding a friends system in to it.
so at the moment i have a listbox to display all the current users in, for the user who wants to add lets say bob as a friend he would click bobs username in the list box then click the button that says add friend.
a few notes the profile picture needs to be copied as well. which  is  stored as a blob on the database
i currently have this code in to place in the add friend button click
 string Query = "INSERT INTO  `tesyt`.`testfriends` SELECT* FROM  `natotool`.`users`.`Username`, `users`.`PIC`";
        MySqlCommand cmd4 = new MySqlCommand(Query, Connection);
        try
        {

            LoginReader = cmd4.ExecuteReader();
            XtraMessageBox.Show("friend added!");

            LoginReader.Close();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            XtraMessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
        }

i know this code will not add the selected username from the listbox as thats what i am needing some help and guidance on. so if anyone can help me out with this by showing be where i should place the listbox1 in the query that would be great as it needs to copy the selected username and the picture that belongs to that username.
a note as well. each user that makes an account will have a new table named after their username where their friends list(username, picture, last time they was on) will be stored.
Thank you all in advance.
Ben

A: Your query is wrong,insertion and selection at the time is not allowed in this way. Though you are not working within a stored procedure make two separate calls . You can make it simple this way. First call to get the data from whatever table you want to get and within second call, insert that data within your testfriend or any table of your wish.
Another approach is to use stored procedure, just pass what to what to insert parameters and do the same thing within a stored procedure instead here.
Note: I don't know how you've designed your DB, make it work like I mentioned. It will hopefully solve your problem.

It's all about a unique business concept that makes an entrepreneur stand out from the crowd. The best way to carve a niche for your startup in the market is to have an out-of-the-box approach and execute your vision delicately.
However, endeavoring to revive the age old practice of barter in the current commercial economy, Ami Savla has emerged as an idol for many aspiring women entrepreneurs of the country. Striving hard to revolutionise the business world with her solitary ideas and transform her dreams into reality, she has come up with a one-off sapling ?X-Change-It – Bond over Barter' that introduces a cashless trading platform in the merchandising system of the country.
Starting from the scratch and scaling new heights, the journey of Ami Savla has not been easy. In conversation with Businessnonstop.in talking about her successful entrepreneurship venture, she shares some secrets that keep her motivated and help her through her journey to entrepreneurial success.
1. Please tell us something about X-Change-It?
The idea of getting back the Barter days came to us when we some office colleagues were discussing over a coffee about successful entrepreneurs and how they are changing the business world with their out of the box approach. We came up with the idea of building a platform where we could exchange Books, Goods and Services the Barter way.
That's how X-Change-It came into inception. We have attempted to create a platform where you can exchange your stack of CDs with second hand books, exchange a fitness class for a cooking class, rid yourself of excess furniture for a smart phone, trade your DIY products for books or piano lessons, do someone's assignment for concert tickets, do web designing in exchange of interior designing for your new room – all and much more without burning a hole in your pocket.
2. According to you, what is the USP of X-Change-It that differentiates it from other existing businesses in the market?
Our USP is the Cashless Xchange. Through X-Change-It, we are attempting to build a cashless trading platform through which, not only the big companies, but normal people, could trade goods or services for other products or services that they need. We believe that in this way, they will understand the potential of their art, products and services. The key principle of our business is distinctive from others as we consider that each person has a skill, ability, service or intellect to share with all of us and we hope in such inflationary times, our cashless trading platform is creating a boom in the market.
Barter way was in the soul of our business, since its inception. Even most of the activities/skills/expertise that were required to build up X-Change-It was got onboard in the barter way. For e.g., services like legal, marketing, financial, setting up the office, etc, were all worked upon the barter way.
3. What were the biggest roadblocks while setting up your business and how you managed to overcome them?
The biggest challenge through our journey was to gain people's trust with the quality of our venture as it doesn't involve money, as in today's time quality is measured with a price.
But with our determination and constructive efforts, we have gradually succeeded in overcoming it and now people are accepting our intention of establishing a friendly community barter way through relationship building.
4. What are your future plans of scaling up and establishing X-Change-It on a global platform?
With X-Change-It, we intend to revolutionize the way we do business. The idea is to make our venture from being local to national and gradually a global platform, which could serve the purpose of anyone in any corner of the world to get products / services on a Barter basis.
We will be going live on our online web platform soon and gradually operations will begin in full swing. We have planned to target local communities first, followed by Metros and other cities. Our main intend is to make X-Change-It as everyone's next shopping destination!
5. Marching ahead with your unique brainchild, X-Change-It, what tips you would like to share with women entrepreneurs?
Women Entrepreneurship is the next IN thing in our country. All that I need to say to the young and enthusiastic women out there is that if you are passionate, just follow your instinct, dedicate your time and soul for what you love and you will be an achiever!
There will be 100 people out there not believing in your dream, the only challenge is finding that one person, who not only envisions your dream but is your solid support system throughout. The one who will help you in building your dreams from the scratch and trust me if you look around you will surely find that one person. And who says you need to follow the crowd? Leave the tried and tested and create your own path and build your story of Success!

It's one of the most important places to visit in Saint-Malo because it's where the largest changes in tides in Europe happens, so keep that in mind if you decide to visit the islands. Next to the beach, the things to do in Saint-Malo are organized around the walls of Saint-Malo. In perfect condition and at seven meters wide and two kilometers long, they provide another perspective of its buildings, its beaches, and the forts that surround it. There are many cultural attractions in Saint-Malo, like the National Fort, which was built to defend the city from an invasion from the mainland centuries ago. Also among the most visited and famous things to see in Saint-Malo is the port, where there's a constant bustle of cargo ships and travelers. Finally, there are several churches to visit, like the Cathedral of Saint Vincent.

STOP CORRUPTING GOD'S SIMPLE PLAN OF SALVATION!
So many self-righteous hypocrites try to take God's place, forcing people to change in order to be saved, corrupting the simplicity that is in Christ, mandating a changed life as part of saving-faith.
Biblical salvation is simple; It is a free gift. Salvation is a gift to be received; not a reward to be earned. You don't work to get salvation; you receive it by faith in the Son of God. Faith in Jesus as the Christ to forgive one's sins is the only way to be saved and go to Heaven. John 1:12, "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." Praise God!
There are many false prophets today who pervert the Gospel message. They claim that faith in Jesus is not sufficient to save a sinner. They quote, but misrepresent, James 2:19, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." This Scripture warns of those who only have a belief in God; but do not trust His upon Son, Jesus Christ. Anyone who trusts upon Jesus will be saved. Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." That is a promise from God almighty! Faith in Jesus is enough, and the only way, for a soul to have eternal life.
I warn you, beware of those people today who want to police everyone who gets saved. Beware of those self-righteous hypocrites who think they are not as sinful as others; so they change God's plan of salvation to require good works, mending one's ways and departing from the sinful world to be saved. But that's not what the Bible teaches. You get saved by ceasing from your own self-righteous efforts; and coming to God as a SINNER, by faith through God's Son, Jesus, the SAVIOR. You get eternal life by receiving it in Jesus' name. It is a free gift, paid for by Jesus' precious, literal blood (1st Peter 1:18,19).
Revelation 1:5, "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD." We are saved by Jesus' blood. What a wonderful truth! The blood of Jesus washes men's sins away by faith. Galatians 3:26, "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." This is the simple truth from God's Word.
Don't you believe the lies of false prophet's like Ray Comfort, Aiden Tozer and John McArthur; who teach that faith alone is not enough to be saved. These men all misunderstand the meaning of Biblical repentance, and so they pervert the truth of the Gospel. These men teach that a person must depart from their sinful ways, give up the world, and determine to sin no more as part of saving-faith.
But the Bible says eternal life is a gift that is received by faith, and not by works. Romans 4:5, "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works." The Bible is clear and plain that we are saved by HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, i.e., the righteousness of Jesus Christ which is imputed (attributed) to a sinner by faith at the time of salvation. Works have no part in salvation. In fact, any self-righteous works is a road to Hell, because it is a false gospel of works salvation. God will not save anyone who adds even one self-righteous act to their faith to be saved (Romans 3:20).
Whatever changes need to be made in that sinner's life, God will make. It is God's place to change lives, and not man's. Far too many people nowadays are trying to do the work of the Holy Spirit, by forcing men to give up their sins as part of saving-faith. In reality, they have concocted a damnable heresy of self-righteousness, which requires daily effort on the part of the sinner not to commit sins to become saved, and to stay saved. It is all wrong!
The Bible teaches a completely different mindset toward salvation. Biblical, salvation is a second birth. It is a spiritual birth. A Christian is born anew of the Spirit of God (Romans 8:9) by the Seed of God's holy Word (1st Peter 1:23). Becoming a born-again believer is the way to Heaven; and not by religious dedication, committing one's life to following Christ, nor by serving in church work for a lifetime. Judas was a devil, and yet he was a follower of Christ (one of His very own Apostles).


Good morning fellow book lovers and welcome to my Blog Tour Stop for Our Dark Stars by Audrey Grey and Krystal Wade hosted by Rock Star Book Tours. I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait rave about it. Remember to say until the end and join the giveaway.
So head over heels in love with this book! I love science fiction and fantasy movies and T.V. shows. There's just something incredibly fascinating and exhilarating about sci-fi fantasy. However, when it comes to reading books in that genres, I'm quite picky and would usually choose stories with a bit of romance. Well, Our Dark Stars by Audrey Grey and Krystal Wade surely had some romance, but it's definitely the gorgeous writing, awesome world-building, fantastically thrilling plot, and quirky lovable characters that won my heart. I love this book so much it's already made my Top 5 Favorite Reads in 2018.
Princess Talia Starchaser and the future Sovereign of the Seven Planets has been taught that to become a great ruler, she must endure whatever comes her way with a smile on her face. On her 18th birthday, Talia is being married off to cold-hearted prince just to secure an alliance. As if things aren't bad enough, she's suddenly forced to publicly betray her mock best friend. Unbeknownst to Talia, her actions on that very moment would bring about the downfall of mankind — leaving her alone, frozen, and floating through space.
100 years later, droids have taken over the universe and ruling over humans. Half-mock captain, Will Perrault, is searching for something that would appease the mock queen when he and his crew of misfits discover a unique coffin-like pod – a pod that holds the human princess and the last Starchaser throughout the galaxies.
Not wanting to do anything with each other, the lost princess and the reckless, but charming half-mock captain must learn to trust and work together if they want to survive and save their people.
You guys… this book was such a breathtaking and enjoyable read! I know the concept of the story has been done before and I did get some Lunar Chronicles vibe – BUT, it was different and unique enough that I was enthralled throughout the entire time. Not to mention the story development was so incredibly well-written. With dual POVs that alternated from past to present in the beginning chapters, the authors amazingly created a sense of suspense that kept me on my toes. Even when I figured out a major part of the story, I still could not stop reading and was curious to see how everything would unfold. I also thought the world-building was creative and absolutely fascinating. The plot was fast-paced, humorous, and so exciting that I never wanted the story to end. Oh and the chemistry between Talia and Will… electrifying! Seriously so much out of this world awesomeness in this book that you need to read to experience it for yourself.
Talia was an awesome heroine and I absolutely adored her. She's strong, determined, and most importantly kind. Will was impulsive, cocky, and a bit selfish, but his flaws made him more relatable and lovable. Being half mock, Will's emotions conflicted with each other and I couldn't help but feel for him. The side characters were great too! They're obviously not perfect and had their own baggage, but that's what I liked about them. Totally LOVEEEE complex and flawed characters…don't you?
Overall, Our Dark Stars was such a blast and delightful read! There's plenty of action, drama, conflict, and a cute swoony romance that had me completely glued to the pages. I really wish this was a series because I want more and I do think there could be another book or two… but the ending was more than satisfying and definitely left a huge smile on my face.
If you're looking for a thrilling Sci-Fi adventure, then you need to check this book out.
I received an advance reader copy of this book from Rock Star Book Tours and the Publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Details: 1 winner will receive a $30 Amazon GC and a hardcover copy of Cinder, US Only.
Thanks for stopping by everyone. I hope you enjoyed reading my review and get to meet Talia, Will, and the rest of the gang! And if you've already read this amazing book, let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you.
Have a wonderful day and a funtastic weekend!!

Q: Typescript is it possible to infer types based on argument enum? Let's say that I have a function that has 3 arguments. The first argument is an enum that is defined by me, the second argument is an object that has the shape based on the value passed by the enum. The third argument is just a string.
Look at this function:
  async callApi<Response = any, Input = any>(
    op: ApiOperations,
    input: Input,
    functionName: string
  ): Promise<Response> {
    return this.lambda.invoke<Response>(functionName, {
      op,
      input
    });
  }

You can see that I'm declaring this function as generic and receiving two types and setting the default to any and that works. But in this case whenever I want to call this function I have to manually specify the input and response types. The thing is, I know that for each value from my ApiOperations enum, I have just one input type and one response type.
So my question is, is there any way of typescript can infer the types based on the enum value?
An example of calling this function is:
  async getChatRooms({ numberResults, siteId, startIndex }: GetChatRoomsInput): Promise<ChatRoom[]> {
    return this.api.callApi<ChatRoom[], GetChatRoomsInput>(ApiOperations.GetChatRooms, {
      siteId,
      numberResults,
      startIndex
    }, 'getChatRooms');
  }

This works fine, but the way that I want to do is:
  async getChatRooms({ numberResults, siteId, startIndex }: GetChatRoomsInput): Promise<ChatRoom[]> {
    return this.api.callApi(ApiOperations.GetChatRooms, {
      siteId,
      numberResults,
      startIndex
    }, 'getChatRooms');
  }

And for this case typescript would be able to tell me that the input has the GetChatRoomsInput type and ChatRoom[] as the response type.

A: You just just need a lookup type that maps enum values to input/response types. For example:
enum ApiOperations {
  A,
  B,
}

interface ApiOperationsLookup {
  [ApiOperations.A]: {
    input: { a: number }
    response: { a: string }
  }

  [ApiOperations.B]: {
    input: { b: number }
    response: { b: string }
  }
}

Here ApiOperationsLookup is a type that has the key names of the ApiOperations mapped to specific input and response types.
You can fetch the input type with something like:
type Test = ApiOperationsLookup[ApiOperations.A]['input']
// { a: number }

Now you can make callApi look like this:
  async callApi<T extends ApiOperations>(
    op: T,
    input: ApiOperationsLookup[T]['input'],
    functionName: string
  ): Promise<ApiOperationsLookup[T]['response']> {
    //...
  }

Here the generic parameter T is a value from the ApiOperations, and then input and the return type are pulled from the lookup map for that operation.
This now works as I think you expect:
const aResponse = await instance.callApi(ApiOperations.A, { a: 123 }, 'aFuncName')
// { a: string }

const aBadResponse = await instance.callApi(ApiOperations.A, { b: 123 }, 'aFuncName')
// type error on second argument

const bResponse = await instance.callApi(ApiOperations.B, { b: 123 }, 'aFuncName')
// { b: string }

Playground

Another option is to skip the lookup type and instead use overloads where you create a function signature for each member of the enum:
  // signature for each enum member
  async callApi(op: ApiOperations.A, input: { a: number }, functionName: string): Promise<{ a: string }>
  async callApi(op: ApiOperations.B, input: { b: number }, functionName: string): Promise<{ b: string }>

  // implementation
  async callApi(
    op: ApiOperations,
    input: unknown,
    functionName: string
  ): Promise<unknown> {
    //...
  }

I think that's a big uglier and harder to maintain personally, but that's a matter of opinion.

Philosophy of Biology : A Contemporary Introduction
By (author) Alex Rosenberg , By (author) Daniel W. McShea
Available. Expected delivery to the United States in 15-20 business days.
Is life a purely physical process? What is human nature? Which of our traits is essential to us? In this volume, Daniel McShea and Alex Rosenberg - a biologist and a philosopher, respectively - join forces to create a new gateway to the philosophy of biology; making the major issues accessible and relevant to biologists and philosophers alike.
Exploring concepts such as supervenience; the controversies about genocentrism and genetic determinism; and the debate about major transitions central to contemporary thinking about macroevolution; the authors lay out the broad terms in which we should assess the impact of biology on human capacities, social institutions and ethical values.

Dudgeon Gets to 1TWh During Installation and Commissioning
The 402MW Dudgeon offshore wind farm, comprising 67 Siemens 6MW wind turbines installed off the coast of Norfolk in England, achieved a production of 1TWh during offshore installation and commissioning in 2017.
Illustration; Image source: National Grid UK
After the first wind turbine was installed in early January 2017, it was set in production on 7 February, delivering electricity to the UK National Grid.
At the beginning of September, Statoil announced that all 67 turbines were producing electricity. The offshore wind farm entered full operation the next month, when it also started receiving payments on generated electricity under the Contract for Difference (CfD).
Statoil, Masdar and former stakeholder Statkraft officially opened Dudgeon on 22 November 2017. As of recently, China Resources (Holdings) Company owns the 30% stake in the project after buying it from Statkraft.
Dudgeon offshore wind farm, which is providing renewable energy to around 410,000 homes, was completed on schedule and below the budget of GBP 1.5 billion that was set when the investment decision was made in 2014.
