A LOOK AT PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AIRCRAFT
With the 2020 Election behind us, I found myself thinking about the lack of campaign related aircraft that we've seen this year. Although this absence is in large part due to the ongoing pandemic, it is also partially due to having an incumbent candidate as they utilize US Air Force aircraft instead. It did still lead me down a rabbit hole of digging through imagery and scanning articles to track down some of the presidential campaign aircraft in recent history, so I figured I'd share my findings!
2020 - Joe Biden & Kamala Harris
Airline - KaiserAir & Corporate Air
Aircraft - Boeing 737-500 & Gulfstream G650
Tail Number - N732KA & N235DK
Due to the onset of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Biden-Harris Campaign had initially walked back plans for leasing campaign aircraft due to an expected decrease in in person campaigning. In the late days of the campaign, however, they reversed course and were back in the air. The sole branded campaign aircraft was a Boeing 737 operated by KaiserAir. A unique fact about this aircraft is it's all Business Class arrangement with 60 seats arranged in a 2-2 layout. The campaign also utilized a fleet of chartered Gulstream and Embraer aircraft for VIPs. A Gulfstream with tail number N235DK, and operated by Corporate Air was utilized for Kamala Harris - she really was flying like G6... In addition, the campaign regularly used N334JB, an Embraer E190 operated by jetBlue to shuttle members of the press.
2016 - Hillary Clinton & Tim Kaine
Airline - XTRAirways
Aircraft - Boeing 737-800 & Boeing 737-400
Tail Number - N881XA & N314XA
Hillary Clinton's campaign plane is probably my favorite in recent memory - her entire campaign was brilliantly branded by Pentagram, so that shouldn't come as much surprise! I'm also a bit biased as I'd flown with the airline shortly before her campaign acquired the plane. The Clinton-Kaine fleet consisted of two 737s operated by XTRAirways - Hillary's being a Next Generation -800 and Kaine's being an older -400. Hillary's plane featured her signature tagline of "Stronger Together" alongside a punchy blue tail and belly, while the vice presidential candidate's aircraft was more subdued with the names of the ticket and a blue cheat line. The planes became quite iconic as they traveled the country, and proved an excellent branding moment - even spurring a model airplane version!
2016 - Donald Trump & Mike Pence
Airline - Eastern Air Lines & DJT Operations
Aircraft - Boeing 737-700 & 757-200ER
Tail Number - N278EA & N757AF
The Trump campaign was unique - for many reasons I won't go into - in that one of the candidates already had a private jet of their own. As such, the top of the ticket opted to utilize "Trump Force One," a Boeing 757, for transporting their candidate - they also chartered a follow plane for press, but it was often delayed or left behind completely. On the flip side, an Eastern Air Lines - not the original, but rather a reboot of the storied carrier - 737 was contracted for the vice presidential candidate. It's interesting to note that the aircraft maintained its dedication to the American Soldier, shown on the nose, after its return to Eastern Air Lines. One of the most iconic aviation moments of the campaign was when this aircraft skidded off the runway and suffered a bit of damage - a metaphor for what the next four years would look like.
2012 - Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan
Airline - USA Jet Airlines
Aircraft - McDonnell Douglas MD-83 & McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32
Tail Number - N949NS & N215US
After months of touring the country in nondescript charter aircraft, the Romney campaign unveiled their "Believe in America" branded McDonnell Douglas MD-83 Aircraft. The plane was operated by USA Jet Airlines and was previously owned by Alaska Airlines. The rather tidy livery featured a blue swoop and the Romney "R" logo on the tail, along with the obligatory large scale American flag on the tail mounted engines. On the interior, Romney's plane is probably one of the most personalized - it was emblazoned with pictures and memorabilia as well as having branded headrests. The candidate also reconfigured it slightly to feature captains chairs and tables in the forward cabin. Vice Presidential Candidate, Paul Ryan, had an older and smaller variant of the aircraft, a DC-9-32, with a simplified mostly white livery.
2008 - John McCain & Sarah Palin
Airline - Swift Air & jetBlue Airways
Aircraft - Boeing 737-400 & Embraer E190
Tail Number - N802TJ & N239JB
John McCain's campaign contrasted the Obama campaign shown below by marking a shift towards smaller aircraft, as well as introducing a branded aircraft for the Vice Presidential candidate as well. McCain's Swift Air operated 737 carried the name "Straight Talk Express" that had previously adorned the candidate's bus tour. In addition, the buzzwords "Reform, Prosperity, Peace" were shown near the rear of the plane. The interior of the aircraft is also quite lively, although not to the extent of Romney's, with images and other decor adorning the walls of the plane. In tandem with the 737, the campaign also chartered a jetBlue Embraer E190 to transport Sarah Palin. Fun fact, it's journey home from Anchorage to New York-JFK after the campaign ended is thought the be the longest flight ever operated by an E190.
2008 - Barack Obama & Joe Biden
Airline - North American Airlines
Aircraft - Boeing 757-200
Tail Number - N755NA
While the Obama campaign had previously chartered a Midwest Airlines McDonnell-Douglas MD-80, they eventually upgraded to the Boeing 757 shown above displaying the "Change We Can Believe In" tagline. Overall, I think this was a nice livery that accurately portrayed the candidate's identity - crucial for a campaign that was so brand and marketing aware. This didn't, however, come without controversy as the campaign took considerable heat and criticism from right wing media as it removed the airline's livery that had a large flag on the tail (see 'W' below) and replaced it with their own logo. What was interesting to me was that this aircraft was chartered from the same airline as former President George W. Bush's campaign - although a different tail number. One noticeable difference from the more recent candidates is that this plane used door 2L for boarding - given that it was a longer haul jet, we can presume the candidate occupied the business class cabin at the forward end of the aircraft.
2004 - John Kerry & John Edwards
Airline - TransMeridian Airlines
Tail Number - N958PG
2000 - George W. Bush & Dick Cheney
1996 - Bob Dole & Jack Kemp
Airline - AvAtlantic
Tail Number - N293AS
Notice anything in common about the aircraft in this piece? Well, they're almost overwhelmingly made by one manufacturer: Boeing, unsurprisingly. This aside, I think it's also interesting to track the trajectory over the years, such as the shift from 757 to 737 as the workhorse for campaigns, as well as the introduction of aircraft for the Vice-Presidential candidates as well. In addition to geeking out over the liveries, I think it's intriguing to get a glimpse into the interiors of the planes as they really do become homes away from home for the candidates and their teams.

Q: variable defined in settimeout function returns as undefined outside the function Please find the code below:
setTimeout(function() {
var objTextareaText = objTextArea.innerText;
var normalizedText = objTextareaText;
                        if (!countSpacesAsChars) {
                            normalizedText = objTextareaText.replace(/\s/g,"").replace(/ /g, "");}
                        strText = normalizedText.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm,    "").replace(/ /gi, " ");
                        //Strip Html tags
                        strText = normalizedText.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig,"").replace(/^([\t\r\n]*)$/, "");
                    }, 50);
if (strText.length >= MaxLength) {

}

From the above if statement strText is returning as undefined.
Also if i include the if statement inside the settimeout function as below:
setTimeout(function() {
    var objTextareaText = objTextArea.innerText;
                var normalizedText = objTextareaText;
                if (!countSpacesAsChars) {
                    normalizedText = objTextareaText.replace(/\s/g,    "").replace(/ /g, "");
                }
                strText = normalizedText.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm, "").replace(/ /gi, " ");
                //Strip Html tags
                strText =         normalizedText.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig,"").replace(/^([\t\r\n]*)$/, "");

                if ((e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 8) ||     (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 46) || ((e.data.domEvent.$.shiftKey)
                    && (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 36)) || ((e.data.domEvent.$.shiftKey) && (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 35))
                    || (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 35) || (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 36) || (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 37)
                    || (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 38) || (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 39) || (e.data.domEvent.$.keyCode === 40)) {
                    showCharacterCount();
                    e.cancelBubble = false;
                    e.returnValue = true;
                    return true;
                }
                // Reaches Max Length - Shows error MAX_VALUE Reached Error Msg.
                if (strText.length >= MaxLength) {
                    showCharacterCount();
                    e.cancelBubble = true;
                    e.returnValue = false;
                    e.cancel();
                    e.stop();
                    return false;
                } else {
                    showCharacterCount(strText);
                    e.cancelBubble = false;
                    e.returnValue = true;
                    return true;
                }
          }, 50);

By above way there is an issue with key events.
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.returnValue = false;
                    e.cancel();
                    e.stop();
                    return false;

These code will not work.
So please suggest a solution.
Please Note: Settimeout function should be used as i am getting the count of the characters from RTF in salesforce.

A: Use below code as there Closure added to setTimeout
setTimeout(function() {

var objTextareaText = objTextArea.innerText;
var normalizedText = objTextareaText;
                        if (!countSpacesAsChars) {
                            normalizedText = objTextareaText.replace(/\s/g,"").replace(/ /g, "");}
                        strText = normalizedText.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm,    "").replace(/ /gi, " ");
                        //Strip Html tags
                        strText = normalizedText.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig,"").replace(/^([\t\r\n]*)$/, "");

//change below code line as closure
  }(), 50);

// now strText is not undefined
if (strText.length >= MaxLength) {

 }

If you want to use setTimeout variable value outside it , then can do using closure function , because it(a closure function) has access to outside , inside and within a function. more info at closure function

The boutique hotel wants to set up shop in a 20-story building being developed by local developer GrayStreet Partners at 1603 Broadway, two people with knowledge of the discussions said. In addition to office space, the plans for the building include a hotel.
The 195-room hotel is in the planning stage, W Hotels' parent company, Marriott International, told data firm STR, which tracks the hospitality industry. Marriott projects the hotel will open in January 2022.
Peter French, GrayStreet's development director, did not return calls and a text message requesting comment. A Marriott spokeswoman did not provide comment by press time.

French previously told the Express-News GrayStreet expects to begin work early this year on the Broadway tower — which will have 10 stories of hotel space, four stories of offices, three stories of parking and ground-floor retail. The city Historic Design and Review Commission voted Dec. 5 to allow GrayStreet to begin site work, but the panel must give final approval in the spring.
W Hotels, which has hotels in Dallas and Austin, is known for a trendy vibe and caters to young, affluent guests. The chain operates 57 hotels across the globe.

The boutique Hotel Valencia Riverwalk at 150 E. Houston St. completed a $10 million renovation in 2017. New York real-estate firm Safety, Income and Growth Inc. bought the land on which the hotel sits for an undisclosed sum in January.

The Founder's Guide to Discipline: Lessons from Front's Mathilde Collin
Front has a story that any budding startup would envy.
Highlights from the past four years include scaling to 100 employees, acquiring more than 4,000 customers, raising almost $80 million in funding and closing the books on its first acquisition.
But as co-founder and CEO Mathilde Collin tells it, the workplace communication tool's meteoric rise can't be traced back to an incredible founding vision from their early Y Combinator days. In fact, Collin was unsure where the product was heading at the time and had serious doubts about whether the company would take off.
According to Collin, the startup's success instead took root thanks to a single trait: discipline.
This is an answer we've heard before — after all, most leaders wax over the stories of their careers with a thick coat of grit and determination. And whether it takes the form of an inspirational quote splashed across a striking stock photo or an encouraging blog post about the startup grind, discipline is always cast as a recurring character when entrepreneurs talk about success.
But while the discussion around this quality is heavy on colorful mandates, it's also often lacking in detail and depth. Very few go beyond platitudes about working hard to move into more nitty-gritty tactics for bringing an intense discipline to every facet of the company building process. Collin, however, is a rare exception.
Her quiet focus and obsession with efficiency has been the propellor beneath the surface, helping to power Front's impressive trajectory. From her pristine email templates and clockwork communication habits to her insanely fast fundraise process and carefully crafted calendar, discipline is the current that runs through all aspects of this founder's life.
In this exclusive interview, Collin dives deeper to put tactical teeth on an entrepreneurial trope, sharing why a founder's discipline matters more than vision. She describes her approach to communication, time management, fundraising and team building, unveiling impactful practices and sharing the actual emails she relies on to stay on track.
WHY DISCIPLINE — NOT VISION — GOES THE DISTANCE
Many early-stage teams pour hundreds of hours into ensuring that the product roadmap and company mission are as crisp as possible. Painting a picture of potential is a way to put a stake in the ground — and it's often a helpful tactic for papering over initial shortcomings. But that's not how Front went out into the world.
"At first, Front wasn't that impressive or even that good. I remember at Y Combinator someone told me that we were the best company in the batch and I was convinced he misspoke, that he had confused us with another startup," says Collin. "Four years ago, I didn't have a clue of how big we'd be today or a plan for getting there — it's been much more of an evolution."
As a founder, I'd choose discipline over some grand vision any day of the week.
"I'm sure many will disagree with me on this. But the driving force behind Front's success is that we've been incredibly disciplined at every point along our journey. And this isn't to say that we were lacking in ambition," says Collin. "It's to point out that the pressure founders put on themselves to have a far-reaching plan isn't always helpful or realistic — and it's certainly not a predictor of future success. The vision I pitched in our Series B fundraise was totally different from what we presented back at Demo Day. What mattered more was that we were determined to turn this kernel of an idea into a real company through sheer will," she says.
"You can have a very ambitious, tight plan of exactly where you want go, but chances are that you'll drop some balls or focus on the wrong things," says Collin. "Working on your company's vision is necessary, but it's something many early teams spend too much time on; there's a sort of navel-gazing element to the exercise. The bottom line is more simple: are you disciplined enough to make it happen or not?"
To unpack this fundamental question, Collin dissects this essential attribute further: "At a high-level, discipline is focusing on just a handful of things, which is incredibly challenging because you've got so much to do and you're pulled in so many directions — everything seems important. But discipline comes down to focusing on the right thing, which means you need to be crystal clear on what success looks like and how to measure it," she says.
Collin breaks down the most important elements of a founder's discipline by offering a set of questions to run through for a focused assessment:
Making progress: What metrics are you using in order to see if the company is succeeding? How are you orienting your entire team around them? How frequently — and consistently — are you communicating updates?
Managing time: Does your calendar actually reflect the priorities from above every single week? Is there an activity you aren't spending enough time on? Do you have the discipline to disconnect and step away?
Fundraising: How are you managing your investors? Are you sending frequent updates on your progress, tightening your pitch and proactively building relationships?
Team building: What are you doing to consistently create a great work environment? How are you making sure that every hire meets your standards?
Each of these four buckets can be optimized and infused with extra rigor. But in Collin's experience, few show up to do this additional mental labor. "Many founders get caught up in the day-to-day churn of running a startup," she says. "Applying a disciplined mentality to everything you do, whether it's an email you send to your team, a presentation for investors or a company offsite, is deceptively simple — but it's so impactful."
If you're not disciplined with managing your time and religiously tracking your company's progress, it's going to be very tough to succeed.
DISCIPLINED COMMUNICATION: THE THREE EMAILS EVERY FOUNDER SHOULD SEND
As fledgling startups struggle to find their footing, tackling high visibility metrics becomes the main focus. But in Collin's experience, simply pursuing progress isn't enough — an extra dose of discipline around communication provides the accountability that makes those goals more likely to materialize.
For Collin, that discipline lies in the three carefully constructed emails she has sent with an almost frightening regularity since Front's earliest days: a weekly update to the entire company, a note to her direct reports and a monthly update to her investors. Read on for a closer look at how she crafts them and why they've been critical to Front's results.
TO: All users
SUBJECT: Revenue update
As with most startups, Front's early days were marked by an obsession with revenue. "We had no excuse if those numbers weren't trending upwards. So I started sending a daily email to the team to bring that metric front and center. It explained how much revenue we added yesterday, what we did well and what didn't go so well," says Collin.
"I soon changed it to a weekly email as that was a better cadence, but ever since I've sent this email every single week to our entire company. It always has the same structure and is sent around the same time. And I haven't missed a single one in the past four years," she says.
"In the first few years, I wrote this completely on my own and it probably took me about an hour," says Collin. "This may seem like a lot of time for an early-stage founder to spend on an internal note every single week, but it was vital. Amid all the growing pains, people knew exactly what success meant and evaluated everything they did through the lens of 'How can we make that number go up?'"
SENT FOLDER: Below you'll find an early example of the weekly emails Collin sends to the Front team.
SENT FOLDER: Here's a more recent, real-world (and lightly scrubbed) example of how Collin's weekly email template has evolved over time as Front has scaled.
For Collin, there's power — and pressure — from this kind of transparency. "Sharing the good, the bad and the ugly provides accountability and a forcing function. If you see numbers that are less than great, you'll be tempted to make an excuse, point to another bright spot, or hold off on sharing until things improve," she says. "Or you might shift gears and work on another project as a distraction. But you can't afford to do that."
Concentrate on a single metric. If it's not improving, resist the easy comfort of letting up and focusing on something else. Stay the course.
TO: Direct reports
SUBJECT: Goals for the week
As another exercise in accountability, a different email flies out of Collin's inbox at 10am sharp every Monday morning: a note to her direct reports.
"I quickly run through all of my goals for the week. It's not about telling your reports every single thing you're going to do. Rather it's a chance to share what's top-of-mind for you, which of course should be top-of-mind for them. More generally, it's helpful to know how managers spend their time — often it's a more of a black box instead. That's also why I've made my calendar public and shared a deck that explains what I do all day as CEO of Front," she says. This email habit also sets an example. "If I start to slip or if my weeks don't ladder up to those big goals we're focusing on, that sends the wrong message," says Collin.
SENT FOLDER: Below is an example of Collin's direct report email in action.
TO: Investors
SUBJECT: Monthly update
Another one of Collin's favorite tricks for bringing discipline to her communication is the update email she sends to Front's investors. "I sent the same note every month for years, and only changed to quarterly after our Series B," she says.
SENT FOLDER: Below you'll find an example of what Collin's note to investors looks like in practice.
Collin's faith in the power of demonstrating your focus to investors has only increased now that she's on the other side of the table.
"Since I've started angel investing, I feel even more strongly about this practice. After a founder sends me two or three update emails, I can immediately get a sense for whether or not that company will succeed," she says. "Some send an email and then you don't hear from them again for four months. Others use different formats or metrics every time. Or they say that revenue is the top priority in one meeting and then say they're focusing on engagement and redesigning the app in the next. That's not an update, that's an excuse. If revenue isn't where it needs to be, admit that you have an issue to your investors, your team, and above all yourself so you can start getting back on track," she says.
Regular communication is unbelievably powerful. If you can't send your investors focused and consistent updates, you'll probably be one of those startups that doesn't make it.
FINDING FOCUS IN THE CALENDAR: TIME MANAGEMENT TRICKS
Asking Collin about how she manages her time prompts a frank confession: "I am really crazy when it comes to my calendar. I'm hypervigilant about making sure that I spend time on the right things," she says.
This assertion is backed up by a quick glance at her schedule — every slot is filled and every minute is accounted for. "If I don't always know what I'm doing, then I get sucked into checking my emails or answering questions instead of focusing on what I said was most important at the beginning of the week," says Collin. But that doesn't mean her calendar is brimming with meetings. In the debate between a maker's and manager's schedule, Collin straddles the line down the middle.
"When I add things to my calendar, they aren't always meetings. I create a lot of appointments with myself to work on specific projects. This could mean blocking off larger chunks such as a 'time for culture' session dedicated to thinking about everyone in the company and assessing whether anyone seems unhappy," she says. "But I also book several 15-minute tasks, such as writing that email to my direct reports or reading over a recent insights survey."
To give further insight into how she spends her time, Collin shares five tips for bringing discipline to a crowded calendar:
1) Block and tackle: create a window for email and opt out of notifications.
"I have two 30-minute dedicated slots in my calendar every day to go through my inbox and I try my hardest to not look at it outside of those times," says Collin. To help stay on track, she's quit notifications altogether, save for her calendar reminders.
"I've disabled them for email, chat and other tools on both my phone and my desktop. My calendar's on so I don't miss events, but opting out of everything else has magnified my efficiency and significantly reduced stress," she says. "I found it so helpful that I challenged the entire Front team to quit their notifications for a week as well. And now during the weekends, I even log out of all of my apps so that temptation isn't there."
2) Step back and clear your head.
Out of all of Collin's calendar optimization experiments, "stepping back time" has been the most valuable addition. "It's half a day each week where I allow myself only a notebook — no computer — to really concentrate on a key issue," she says. "I tinkered with this quite a bit, splitting it up into an hour a few times a week for example, but I found that made it harder to focus."
Collin also makes time for reflection by reserving a 10-minute morning slot for meditation. "I meditate every day at home and we hold a weekly meditation for the Front team. It's honestly changed my life. There's no immediate benefit — it's completely dependent on your discipline because it's a muscle that you're training. But when my co-founder got sick, it really changed my perspective," she says. "Building a company is unbelievably stressful, but there are more important things and this daily habit reminds me of that."
3) Set a date with yourself on Friday to organize the next week.
"I need to know exactly what I want to achieve, and that requires additional prep, which is often the first thing to go for many when things get hectic," Collin says. Here's a look at her process:
"I have a 15-minute 'Review My Calendar' slot every Friday afternoon. I revisit our quarterly goals and a few top-of-mind topics. I then look at my calendar for the upcoming week to make sure it matches up," Collin says. "For example, hiring is a huge push for me right now so I need to spend about a third of my time interviewing executives. When I look at my calendar and it's packed with product meetings or I only have one interview scheduled, then I know that I'm not doing enough to make progress, so I'll add a sourcing session in."
Collin finds this exercise serves as another fail-safe to make sure she's allocating enough time to the right things. "This also dovetails with the weekly email I send to my direct reports. If I tell them that my goal for the week is to decide what the new sales organization will look like, then I better have a few personal working sessions and key meetings dedicated to that," she says.
4) Analyze your time to match intention with reality.
Among her Twitter followers, Collin is known for occasionally sharing a graph of how she spends her time.
Below is a more recent example of the exact analysis she pours over every week:
"At the end of every single week I have my EA send me an analysis of my calendar," says Collin. "It's split by the type of activity, such as interviewing, selling, managing and so on. This is how I flagged that I need to step up my hiring efforts. I also look at it on a team level to see if I'm spending too much time with any one group and neglecting another."
5) Take the time to write it down.
In addition to sharing a breakdown of how she spends her days, Collin also generously shares a window into her journey as a founder by writing articles with very tactical details to provide insights for founders. And it comes as no surprise that the writing time required to produce these pieces is meticulously scheduled.
Collin has two 30-minute blocks for writing on her calendar every week and aims to publish an article on her Medium page about every two months. "I will be honest that I keep these writing slots only about 75% of the time," she says. "The discipline is more around achieving the result of publishing every other month, so I force myself to find a topic if necessary."

FOCUSED FUNDRAISING: THE SECRETS TO LIGHTNING ROUNDS
While her email habits and time management tactics are impressive, Collin is perhaps best known in the tech world for her fundraising chops.
She netted three term sheets for her Series A round in a mere 10 days and timeboxed her Series B fundraising process to just one week, walking away with 10 term sheets. More impressive still is her generous commitment to sharing her best practices with others. Collin put both her Series A and Series B decks online for the world to see, highlighting strong slides as well as feedback she received.
To extend that spirit of sharing, Collin pulls back the curtain on how she built the muscle required to pull off these fundraising feats:
1) Develop relationships before you need them, but don't be afraid to hold back.
While these fast fundraising cycles may seem to be the stuff of startup kismet, Collin is quick to point out that she was only able to raise so quickly because she put in the legwork upfront. In her eyes, these rounds weren't the sum of five to ten days of pitching, but rather the culmination of four years of careful chess moves.
That's because after nabbing Front's initial seed round, Collin maintained a fundraising mindset. "I started proactively building relationships with partners at firms that I liked, meeting with each of them every three to six months. Once we were raising, I could lean on those relationships to get a partner meeting right away," she says. "But what's more is I knew that whoever invested in our Series A would land a board seat, so getting to know partners early on meant I'd be in a better position to decide who to work with."
Early-stage founders looking to replicate this tactic should note that it's about quality, not quantity. "I was focused on about five partners. Going really deep with just one investor puts all your eggs in one basket, but cultivating 20 relationships would be distracting," says Collin.
These ongoing conversations with investors should move beyond shop talk. "Once you're in a fundraising process, it all happens in a flash. So for me, these meetings weren't simply a report on how Front was doing, but rather a chance to get to know the partner. I asked them what they liked and didn't like about investing or what they did outside of work," she says.
If you're focused on building relationships with investors well before you need them, the fundraising flywheel will spin much faster.
Collin cautions that founders need to be thoughtful when approaching these conversations. "Investors are always hunting for signals about your company, but remember that you get to control where the conversation goes and what they're able to pick up on," she says. "Anytime I was asked about our revenue or number of customers, I always shared something a bit lower than our actual figures. I wanted to have some flexibility in case things didn't go as expected, but it also enabled me to save the good nuggets for when we were actually raising."
2) Raise or don't raise — don't let it drag.
As with most things, when it comes to fundraising, timing is everything. But deciding when to pull the trigger requires navigating that tricky space between art and science.
In Collin's eyes, founders falter when they let their fundraising efforts drag on. "I've always been impatient with the entire process. You have to be all in when you decide to raise; 'kind of raising' is a waste of your time," she says. "For the entire 10 days I spent on our Series A, I wasn't working on anything else at Front. We had less than 20 employees, so my stepping away to manage the fundraise had huge consequences for our productivity. I wanted to get back to work, so I put everything I had into it — and learned when to stop 'shopping.'"
Collin also leaned on open lines of communications with investors to speed along her Series B round. "One of the partners I was talking to casually mentioned that he'd invest in our next round. I took him seriously — and I used that one term sheet as leverage to compress the timeline for everyone else. The discipline it took to sink time into that relationship and then full-on commit to raising is what put me in a position to set the terms and move quickly," she says.
Putting speed aside, most founders grapple with the broader problem of figuring out when to raise. Collin identifies the three factors she considers: feeling good about the business, reaching a marker set in the previous round and requiring additional resources to attain a new ambitious goal.
"Feeling good about the business is very subjective. It's not as though you hit a certain metric and then it's all roses. I'd always heard that reaching $1 million in annualized revenue was a benchmark for Series A, but when we hit that, I still wasn't feeling great so I didn't raise," says Collin. "If you're not feeling confident because one of your customers just churned, a deal fell through or an employee is causing problems, that's going to seep into the entire process. As a founder, the smallest thing can take so much headspace. You have to be in the right state of mind to raise."
To illustrate what "feeling good" looks like, Collin shares two examples:
Going after a new ambitious goal. "Just before we did our Series A, we had three great quarters in a row. Around that same time, I was speaking to a branding agency, but it was pretty expensive. That set off a lightbulb in my head that I could invest more in the long-term if I had more money," she says.
Getting energized about the future. "Our Series B was totally different. We still had lots of runway. But I had dinner with a few employees and they told me that our mission statement wasn't that inspiring," says Collin. "So, as we worked on a new one and talked through what the future of Front could look like, I got more and more energized by how big the opportunity was — and I decided to raise our next round."
Your metrics won't suddenly snap into place ahead of your next round — and even if they do, that might not be enough. Your state of mind is incredibly important, so look for the moments that make you excited and capitalize on them.
3) Remember that it will be stressful no matter what — and prepare for the sting.
Even though Front had a legendary Series B round, Collin is quick to point out that it was far from painless.
"I'm always getting comments from people about how they are so envious of our quick rounds and how easy it must have been. But every would-be founder needs to know that it's always going to be stressful. Even though we had one of the smoothest fundraises imaginable, it was still incredibly tough," she says.
Collin attributes this stress to the sting of rejection — something that never gets easier. "When people tell you they don't want to invest in your company, that's one of the hardest things that you can hear as a founder," she says. "When a customer doesn't want to buy your product or a great leader turns down an offer, there are always other things you can point to, such as price or salary. But when an investor passes, they're telling you 'I don't think that your company could be bigger than it is,' and that always hurts."
4) Bring discipline to your deck by focusing on the story.
As for the pitch decks that earned all of those terms sheets (and racked up millions of views on the internet afterwards), Collin shares how they came together — and why discipline was essential.
"There's a temptation to stuff every metric you can find in the deck. But you have to be really disciplined in the narrative you present to investors in order to boost your odds. Think of the pitch as a story waiting to be told, not a set of slides to be strung together. I'm not here to report what Front did in the past four years, I'm here to paint a picture," she says.
To start painting, Collin always begins by typing an actual story out in a document. "I don't even think about slides," she says. "The story mostly follows the same formula: here's why we started this company, here's why it's working and here's why it could be a hundred times bigger. Only then do I start looking at data and thinking about what metrics to include, so long as they fit one of those buckets. Metrics are important for answering investors' questions, but they aren't the pitch. They need to be supported by a narrative."
Think of the story you want to tell in your pitch and write it out — without opening Keynote. Then choose the data that helps you fill in the brushstrokes of that bigger story arc.
5) Do diligence on your investors.
For founders looking to follow in her fundraising footsteps, Collin offers a final tip. "VCs dig into you and your company before investing, but remember that diligence is a two-way street. You can always get rid of employees, but your investors stick. That's why when we were considering Sequoia's Bryan Schreier for our Series B, I talked to the founder of almost every company he was on the board of," she says.
"In those conversations, I was looking for two things: I wanted the person joining our board to be caring and challenging, which is a tough combination to find. You don't want cheerleaders, but you don't need tons of extra pressure either." To go deep on potential investors' backgrounds, Collin used these tailored questions:
Share some examples of when they've been caring.
What types of things did they typically challenge you on? Was it helpful?
Tell me about a time when they disappointed you. Did you feel like you could have an open discussion and give feedback?
Looking back on the early days of your working relationship, how would you manage or interact with them differently, knowing what you know now?
DISCIPLINED TEAM BUILDING: HIGHLIGHT IMPACT (AND STAGE AN OFFICE MUSICAL)
Collin brings the same regularity and intention to her internal team building efforts — and has the results to prove it. Front has a 5-star Glassdoor rating, an internal NPS of 87, while only a few people have voluntarily left the company in the past four years.
"This high employee engagement is a result of the transparency we've cultivated and the commitment we have to making people feel like they have an impact," says Collin. Outside of the weekly email connecting everyone to the main metric they're working towards, Front has smaller initiatives to highlight impact, such as using 'Fronteer of the Week' and 'Stumble of the Week' as opportunities to share wins and learnings (and award trophies crafted out of legos).
The Lego trophies awarded to a member of the Front team each week.
The startup also embraces fun (and regularly scheduled) events, such as board game nights every month or the musicals that the entire Front team puts on once a year. The most recent productions included stagings of 'Les Mis' (with Collin of course taking on the role of Cosette) and a Disney medley.
"It's a programmatic way to give people a chance to be very vulnerable. Whether they're dancing, singing, narrating or playing an instrument, it brings the team together," Collin says. "Overall, we're very disciplined, with the same programs at the same weekly, monthly or annual cadence. Bring regularity to your team touchpoints to make sure they aren't a one-off initiative from HR or a tradition that dies out — create something employees can count on," she says.
However, Collin doesn't place too much weight on Front's approach to cultural events. "Many startups focus so much of their team building efforts on events or offsites and start to lose sight of the core of their culture: hiring people that align with your values," she says.
Collin has applied her signature discipline to expanding Front's team — so much so that after six months of searching, she's still on the hunt for a head of finance. "We're over 100 people, we've raised $80 million and I have zero experience in it, but I still haven't found the person who has the right skill set and matches our values — so if you know someone I should talk to, send them my way," she says. "But in all seriousness, you have to be very disciplined and show the restraint not to hire, even when you urgently need to fill a role,"
To further cement this principle in her mind, Collin revisits advice she got from Stripe's Patrick Collison: "He told me that before hiring someone, consider whether you'd like to have 10 times as many people like them in your company. Because they will hire people in their mold, that's the bar everyone needs to clear."
Events aren't culture. They're something you do to build it, but they aren't an end themselves. Be disciplined in who you hire and how you live out your values — that's the culture.
When it comes to getting a startup off the ground, time is the most precious resource and momentum is the objective. That's why a founder's discipline and willingness to dig in can be more determinative than the ability to project a sweeping vision for the company.
To bring more discipline to your daily life, apply these takeaways from Collin's personal habits:
Reach goals by communicating more consistently: Concentrate on moving a single metric by regularly communicating with your team, direct reports and investors. To provide an additional layer of accountability, templatize your most important messages and never miss an update.
Manage your time to find focus: Develop the calendar hygiene to match work to stated priorities by reviewing your schedule for the upcoming week every Friday and analyzing how you actually spent your time. Create the space to step back and reflect by blocking off dedicated windows for checking email, writing and meditating.
Fundraise faster: Condense your fundraising timeline by proactively building relationships with and doing careful diligence on investors. Assess if it's the "right" time to raise by considering your state of mind and looking ahead to milestones you want to hit. Make sure your pitch is a story, not a set of data points.
Build better teams: Boost retention and engagement by bringing regularity to cultural programs. But remember that events aren't the culture, people are. Don't hire someone if you don't want to have 10 times as many people like them on the team.

When a dog bites a man, that's nothing new, but when a man bites a dog, now that's certainly news!
Los Angeles Property Management says when a landlord finds out a tenant's dog bit someone, that is the hand they're dealt. The landlord must know they'll be held responsible.
If a tenant requires renter's insurance, the landlord more than likely won't need to worry about being sued if a tenant's dog bit somebody. A tenant's renter's insurance will cover that.
Renter's insurance protects the landlord if a tenant's dog bites someone.
The only exception is if the injuries to the victim are so severe that they go beyond what the renter's insurance would cover, and that doesn't happen too often. Even if you are sued for the balance, there still needs to be a case against the landlord or property manager.
Los Angeles Property Management companies say in most cases, you are not responsible if a tenant's dog bit someone. Although there is never good news of any kind when a dog bites somebody.
A Los Angeles Property Management company is not responsible if there's a dangerous dog on the property. This happens time to time if a property owner buys property that's already occupied by a tenant who has a running lease. Once the lease comes under control of the landlord or property manager, this needs to be corrected.
There are some other instances where a Los Angeles Property Management company could be held responsible if a tenant's dog bites somebody.
If dogs are allowed at a rental property, be sure to take the necessary steps to ensure that tenants at the property are safe. If there's a dangerous dog on the property, inform the tenant that the dog must go.

Popes in their secular role ruled portions of the Italian peninsula for more than a thousand years until the mid 19th century, when many of the Papal States were seized by the newly united Kingdom of Italy. In 1870, the pope's holdings were further circumscribed when Rome itself was annexed. Disputes between a series of "prisoner" popes and Italy were resolved in 1929 by three Lateran Treaties, which established the independent state of Vatican City and granted Roman Catholicism special status in Italy. In 1984, a concordat between the Holy See and Italy modified certain of the earlier treaty provisions, including the primacy of Roman Catholicism as the Italian state religion. Present concerns of the Holy See include religious freedom, international development, the Middle East, terrorism, the failing health of Pope JOHN PAUL II, interreligious dialogue and reconciliation, and the application of church doctrine in an era of rapid change and globalization. About 1 billion people worldwide profess the Catholic faith.

However, I am deploying my project in a Docker container. At the end of that container building process, this CSS link and others like it will be gone in the generated index.html file, causing several elements on my page to break graphically.
What settings in the webpack/Docker config could cause this to happen?

A: I have found the solution - it seems that my Dockerfile included a copy of the src and resources folders for the working directory, but not the public folder which contained the favicon as well as the base index.html.  This meant that the index.html that was autogenerated as part of npm run build would never take the above lines of code into account.

Q: Bash Scripting - to manage server navigation I am writing some bash scripts to make life easier when managing around an application.
The scripts really just change directories to my most common locations which saves a huge amount of time.
Currently I have my script in my users .bash_profile and this works nicely.
i.e.
#SHORTENED COMMANDS
alias flushBash='source ~/.bash_profile'
alias editBash='sudo nano /home/gtec/.bash_profile'

#DIRECTORIES
alias gost='cd /var/www/location/of/directory'

From command line I just type: gost and I am taken to the directory of my choice. Now the above is fine if I am the only one using the server however, eventually I will need sys admins etc. so I figured I would write a script to help third parties along.
So I added a script to my bash:
#SCRIPTS
alias go='. /home/me/scripts/go.sh'

And the idea is that the user types: "go" into the command line, and it then returns a list of options.
This is what I have thus far:
#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "Where do you want to go? home, anc-p, anc-s, auto-p, auto-s"
read -p "Enter a location :" location
if [$location = home]
then
  cd /home/gtec
else
echo "Noting to do"
fi

When I run the above it outputs:
Where do you want to go? home, anc-p, anc-s, auto-p, auto-s
Enter a location :home
[home: command not found
Noting to do

and when I type in "home" it returns: home:command not found...
What I am I doing wrong here?

A: Updated answer according to comments by Etan Reisner, original inaccurate one preserved below.
The main problem is syntactical: you need spaces around the square brackets of the if. Furthermore, you should always quote your variables in case they contain whitespace characters. Solution:
#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "Where do you want to go? home, anc-p, anc-s, auto-p, auto-s"
read -p "Enter a location : " location
if [ "$location" = "home" ]
then
  cd /home/gtec
else
  echo "Nothing to do"
fi

Original, inaccurate answer for reference:
You have 2 mistakes in your if: firstly, you assign with = instead of testing with ==, secondly you're missing whitespace. Here's what it should look like:
#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "Where do you want to go? home, anc-p, anc-s, auto-p, auto-s"
read -p "Enter a location :" location
if [ $location == home ]
then
  cd /home/gtec
else
echo "Nothing to do"
fi

The inaccuracy lied in (1) suggesting that == is the only option and (2) omitting the double quotes.

A: You need to quote the things you are comparing.
if [ "$location" == "home" ]

I recently posted a chapter from Psychedelic Information Theory that deals with obsessive ideation in the psychedelic state. At the end of that chapter, I mention that although psychedelics can promote obsessive thoughts within the trip, they also have the ability to break the cycle of previous obsessive spirals and act as a temporary "cure" for OCD. Within days of writing that, a new psilocybin study on OCD was released showing that this was indeed the case.
My partner's experience using mushrooms over the past year or so has [shown] a marked decrease in what she would call her obsessive thoughts. And a fairly significant compulsion she previously had (the need to check the stove burners knowing full well they were off) has disappeared over the course of our monthly psychedelic doses. Now I realize we won't likely be seeing a monthly four-to-five grams dry cubensis powder prescription anytime soon, but one can dream!
Yes, one can dream. However, amid all the press there has been very little discussion about how psychedelics can act as a temporary OCD cure. If I had to guess, I would say that the psychedelic event causes a short-term, reversible down-regulation of 5-HT2A receptor uptake, and that this down-regulation is enough to take the edge off obsessive thoughts mediated through these sites. Of course, this down-regulation is only temporary, and should wear off in two to six weeks, which is why follow-up treatment is recommended every three months or so if OCD symptoms return.
Another theory is that the psychedelic event causes a short-term release and quick metabolism of excess signaling amines in the brain, leaving the subject "low on juice" until their body can re-process the normal balance of transmitters in the brain. This would be like a "supply-side" down-regulation from the neurotransmitter source as opposed to a "demand-side" down-regulation at the uptake site itself.
These two theories are not mutually exclusive, of course, both of them may be accurate, and there may also be other factors that I am missing. However, this study shows that there is a medium-term change in the balance of chemistry in the brain following a psychedelic trip, which may be good for some who need a break from long term obsessive cycles.


A messaging app that allows teachers to send "reminders" to parents and students recently raised $40 million to expand its product internationally, Education Week reports.
The San-Francisco-based ed tech company Remind has more than 1 million teachers and 17 million students and parents using its free app, according to a statement from the company on Sept. 30.
The mobile market has been growing, and as school technology keeps pace with the growth, new innovations are helping parents, students and teachers stay in constant contact.
The concept for Remind's app proved popular enough to draw the attention of investors like Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, who recently announced their participation in a $40 million investment in the company, along with The Social+Capital Partnership and First Round Capital.
"Mobile has changed our everyday lives and is now changing how we learn," said John Doerr, founder and partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, in a written statement. "Remind's simple, safe and free messaging app is connecting millions of K-12 teachers, students and parents. We're thrilled to invest in their hyper growth."


Never before has traveling been this easy that more and more people are persuaded to leave the comfort of their homes to explore places that were once mere images they could only view through the television, magazines, or postcards. We are now living in a time where traveling is no longer attributed to the rich or the retirees, but an adventure that anyone, regardless of age can achieve so long as one is determined. And as the tourism industry booms come to the influx of businesses that aim to make traveling easy for everyone.
No longer do we need to rely on travel agencies, with just a few clicks, we can now book ourselves a flight, an accommodation, or an experience to a destination. Just recently, I found, Cleartrip, a travel website that I used for flight booking to one of my dream destinations, India.
Cleartrip is an online travel company based in India. Their website can help you book flights, train tickets, hotel reservations, and activities not only in India but also in some countries in Middle East. I chanced upon this site as I was doing a research for my India trip.
If you have been reading my blog for quite a while then you know I prefer to arrange my travel all by myself. Hence, I am in constant search for any tool that will make trip organizing a breeze. In this case, Cleartrip has been particularly useful. And it's quite simple to use, here's a walkthrough on how you can book a flight.
In the Cleartrip website, select Fights on the side-menu. Tick the radio button to choose whether you are booking for a One-way ticket or Roundtrip. Next, select which country you will be coming from and your destination, as well as your desired dates. After that, click the Search flights button.

"Politically Incorrect" Speakers Are Seen As More Authentic — Especially If The Audience Already Shares Their Views
By Emma Young
"I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct."
So said then-candidate Donald J Trump during a US presidential debate in 2015. Trump may have strong feelings on the matter, but he's not alone. "Dozens of articles are written about political correctness every month in [US-based] media outlets spanning the political spectrum," note the authors of a new paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. However, surprisingly little psychological research has looked at the consequences of using politically incorrect versus correct language — does it make a real difference to a listener or reader's perceptions of that person, and if so, in what way?
Michael Rosenblum at the University of California, Berkeley and colleagues set out to plug this gap. They defined political correctness as "the use of language or behaviour to seem sensitive to others' feelings, especially those others who seem socially disadvantaged." Then in a series of experiments involving a total of almost 5,000 people, the team explored how participants perceived those who made PC and un-PC statements — and how those perceptions changed depending on the participant's political persuasion.
In initial studies, participants read statements supposedly made by US senators. Some read a version in which PC terms were used for certain groups — "undocumented immigrants" and "people with learning disabilities", for example — while for others the labels were switched to be un-PC ("illegals" or "mentally challenged").
Overall, the team found that the authors of statements which used un-PC language were seen as being more "authentic" (and less susceptible to outside influence, in particular) but also more "cold". Both authenticity and personal warmth are an important part of people's assessments of politicians, the researchers note, so in the real world, perhaps this could have an impact on a senator's popularity.
However, whether or not a participant sympathised with the target of this language affected their ratings. When non-PC language supported more conservative attitudes — when undocumented immigrants were described as "illegals" for example — conservative participants rated the communicator as being particularly authentic, while liberal participants saw them as especially cold. But when the target group was the subject of conservatives' sympathy — when poor white people were described as "white trash", for instance — they rated the communicator as being particularly cold, whereas liberals gave stronger ratings for authenticity. "This pattern of results suggests that the interpretation of political language depends on the group to which it is being applied, and whether perceivers care about that group or not," the team writes.
In a subsequent experiment, the team tried a more naturalistic context for the research. They identified a topic that had roughly equal levels of support among liberals and conservatives: the use of federal funding for historically Black churches. Pairs of participants with different views on this topic debated it in live, online, text-based conversations. In each case, one person was instructed to use politically correct or incorrect language (e.g. referring to religious individuals as either "People with sincerely held religious beliefs" or "Bible Thumpers"), while the other wrote whatever they wanted. Afterwards, the participants completed a survey that measured their impressions of each other and the conversation. The researchers found that debaters who used politically incorrect language came across as being less persuadable (an important aspect of authenticity) and also colder than those who were told to be PC.
How authentic — or not — we perceive someone to be is critical in all kinds of decisions, such as whether to trust them, as well as how much we like them, the researchers note. In theory, the potential role of politically incorrect language in affecting these perceptions could be important for all sorts of social interactions.
Further research is certainly needed to explore various questions, such as how accurate people's judgements about persuadability and coldness based on PC vs non-PC language are. Still, these experiments do suggest that un-PC language can promote perceptions of authenticity, especially among conservatives with the same attitudes — something that is surely already at least implicitly recognised by President Trump.

Reblogged this on From experience to meaning….
Chad English says:
Regarding the statement, "… came across as being less persuadable (an important aspect of authenticity) …", can you please clarify if you mean that being less persuadable or persuadable is an important aspect of authenticity, or perhaps cite the empirical sources for that claimed linkage as that alone is a large can of worms to open.
Contextually, that relationship isn't clear. Somebody who is easily persuadable could be high in agreeableness and viewed as not standing up for their views or even having authentic views and simply going along with what they are told. Conversely, somebody who is less persuadable might be perceived as being stubborn, ideologically bound, or have ulterior motives as they are not listening to reason, implying less authenticity. It seems to me that being too persuadable is as inauthentic as being too stubborn and unreasonable, so the correlation isn't clear.
I'm also curious to see this sort of study done by agreeableness, conscientiousness, and IQ rather than political leanings. There is already a correlations between such traits and political leanings, so I'm curious if that is just a proxy variable and really it comes down to such traits rather than politics. The problem with ascribing things to political leanings directly is that it tends to add to the outgroup narratives of "THEY are bad because …". If it is due to personality traits and ways of thinking, you can't just dismiss it as being about attacking opposing political parties which just leads to partisan fighting, but rather about fundamental psychology of fellow citizens and how to present information and have discussions with others around you, which leads to improved communication.
