Lynn Araujo has been a publishing professional for over twenty-five years, and has worked at U.S. Games Systems since 2004. She did her graduate studies in Linguistics at Berkeley and was a Fulbright scholar in Indonesia. She has a passion for nature, gardening, cooking, travel and books. She lives in Black Rock, Connecticut where she finds inspiration for her writing projects.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté was born to a Flemish family of decorative painters. As a young man he went to Paris, where he began painting the flowers of the royal gardens. His detailed etchings caught the attention of botanists who taught him more about the anatomy of plants and artists who introduced him to a new watercolor technique for illustrating flowers. Marie Antoinette hired Redouté to decorate the walls of her château. By the late 1790s Redouté had become the most famous and sought after flower painter in Europe. Empress Josephine invited him to come to Château de Malmaison to paint the flowers in her magnificent garden, which held over 200 varieties of roses. Between 1817 and 1824 Redouté published a three-volume collection of his rose paintings called Les Rose, his most famous publication. Since roses were Redouté's trademark, we have included four of his rose paintings in this Botanical Inspirations deck.
Card Size 2.75" x 4.5", Box 3.25" x 5"
So many things to love about this deck and book set, it's hard to know where to start – but I'm going to start with the packaging, which is superb. The top of the sturdy flip-top cardboard box features a lush collage of Pierre-Joseph Redouté's Victorian flower art, including the dahlia, coreopsis, asters, forget-me-nots, and amaryllis, among others. This box is roomy enough for a perfect-bound guidebook with the same illustration on its cover, the deck of 44 cards, a trifold pamphlet listing keywords for all of the flowers shown on the cards, and an organza pouch the same shade of mint green as the box, booklet, pamphlet, and card backs. Also included is a card providing detailed information about Redouté, who was born in 1759 to a Flemish family of decorative painters.
By the late 1790s, Redouté was the most famous and sought after flower painter in Europe. Card faces are a tan parchment color, an attractive background for the artwork. The cards do a beautiful job of combining science and sentiment. At the top, centered, is the common name of the flower, with the Latin name or alternative name centered immediately under that in flowery script. Next comes the Redouté's illustration of the flower. The style is realistic, and it is easy to see how the artist was influenced by the botanist Charles Louis L'Héritier, who offered Redouté free access to his botanical library and plant collection. Centered below the artwork is the meaning attributed to that flower. Finally, also centered, we have a quotation that reflects that symbolism.
For each flower, the guidebook provides a black-and-white version of the Redouté illustration, the common name and Latin name for the flower, symbolism, quotation, a long paragraph discussing the flower and its meaning, and an Inspirational Message. The eloquent writing in the guidebook is a pleasure to read, offering tidbits of the fascinating history and cultural interpretations associated with each flower. The Botanical Inspirations cards are perfect for drawing a daily Affirmation, and the guidebook can be used as a resource when researching the various flowers and their meanings.
The Botanical Inspirations Deck, by Lynn Araujo, comes beautifully packaged in a sturdy floral box with a lovely spring green deck bag. The deck and box set includes a Secret Language of Flowers fold-out reference guide that is a shortcut to understanding the secret meaning of the flowers. If you are an herbalist and gardener like myself, you will appreciate the simple beauty and vintage look and feel of this deck. The cardstock is substantial, but shuffles well and the cards have wonderfully rounded corners, which add to the luxury feel of this wonderful deck. The illustrator is Pierre-Joseph Redoute (1759-1840), and the pictures are classic illustrations that everyone can relate to in a reading. Who can resist the "Red Rose" which Lynn calls her card of Hidden Secrets. Red Roses have been given as a sign of romantic love as far back as antiquity. On the card, Ms. Araujo quotes Buddha with the phrase "Three things cannot be hidden, the sun, the moon, and the truth." No truer words have been spoken. It is said that romantic love is the elixir of the Gods and the card of the Red Rose when pulled speaks to our inner-longing to love and be loved without condition. If you are looking for a beautiful and inspirational deck to begin your day with by pulling one flower out of the deck to meditate on then look no further than the Botanical Inspirations Deck, by Lynn Araujo, beautifully published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.
Wow! It is beautiful with fantastic cardstock I love the box, booklet, pamphlet and bag that comes with it. It full of amazing flowers and quotes. I think all decks (Oracle, Tarot and Lenormand) should be made at this level of quality!
I'm a professional Tarot consultant. My first word when I got this deck was, "WOW." The design is the very first thing that caught my eye. The artwork of Pierre-Joseph Redouté has had a long life due to the nature of his talent. He saw things and brought out details in flowers that no one else did. The box that comes with this deck puts me in mind of a miniature writing box from the Victorian era. It is a solidly constructed box too. There's even a small bag for the cards inside the box. The ribbon on the lid along with the lift-out ribbon makes the box a real stand-out.
The cards themselves are quality. They have the images of the flowers against a cream background which enhances the antique effect. You get the name of the flower at the top with the Latin name beneath. At the bottom of the card, you are given a combination keyword + key phrase. Then the card is completed by a quote.
Author Lynn Araujo knows her flowers too. It is obvious that she is fluent in the language of flowers. I particularly liked that she didn't just stick to one cultural reference. Her knowledge has depth to it that sings through her writing.
I would warmly recommend this deck. It may not be a major piece of art or a life changing investment like certain classic decks. But it's definitely a lovely addition to any oracle collection.
The packaging is of better quality than most decks I've recently bought. The cards are comforting both through their design and messages. And it's a lovely escape from the seriousness of Tarot.
If you want to draw a card that will inspire you without suddenly taking you some place uncomfortable (hello Devil, 5 of Cups or the Tower), then this is it.
It's a "safe" deck. One you can always turn to for a little cheering up and a little inspiration.
The Botanical Inspirations deck published by U.S. Games is one of the most exquisite botanicals inspired decks I've ever come across. Botanical Inspirations is created by Lynn Araujo and the artwork is from the portfolio of painter and botanist Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759 – 1840). What I love most, though, is the rich content contained in this beautiful box. The cards not only work as an oracle deck for divination, but also teach you the secret language of flowers, learning the symbolic and magical properties of each flower. A fold-out quick reference sheet provides easy-access information about the flower correspondences. For example, apple blossoms symbolize choices, knowledge, and illumination. Daffodils symbolize new beginnings. Red roses represent secrets. When sending a good friend of yours a thank you gift to express your gratitude, consider tulips. There is a total of 44 cards in this deck and on each card is featured the name of the flower in both English and its Latin nomenclature, what the flower symbolized during the Victorian Era, and a prophetic, inspirational quote that expresses the energy potential of the card. They're great for your daily card-of-the-day draws and for divining motivational daily messages. The accompanying guidebook is a wealth of information, providing history, lore, legend, and the religious or spiritual practices relating to each botanical. The entry for each card also comes with an inspirational message. The deck is a great resource for understanding floral language and how to use botanicals in your spiritual practices. I learned so much from this card deck I don't even know where to begin. I love how much reference material is provided in this simple gift set.
Full colour prints of illustrative paintings of 44 different flowers with the common name, Latin or other name, with keywords and a quotation. The booklet provides symbolism, flower lore, legend, hidden messages and affirmations. A Three-card reading and the Past, Present and Future reading is provided with examples. One card can be used for daily inspiration. Pick a card at random, look at the image and message. Close your eyes and meditate and make this image come alive. As it grows in your mind's eye, reach out your hand to feel its petals, put your face to the flower, feel its coolness on your brow, put it to your lips and feel its texture! Every day you choose a card, you will be given the gift of this flower until you choose another! If you love the Secret Language of the Flowers, you will find great treasures of beauty here!

If you are a forex day trader or considering it, then you need to know the above facts, if you do they will save you a lot of money. Forex day trading is more popular than ever but how do you make profits? Let's find out.
1. Why are they selling them?
To make money for themselves! They don't normally trade their day trading systems because they know they don't work.
If these systems could produce regular profits they would be to busy making money for themselves and not have the time to bother you for a few hundred dollars they would be to busy making money.
If you ask for a track record of profits from any of these vendors you won't get one – What you will normally get is a hypothetical track record of huge gains but this is done in hindsight - KNOWING the closing prices.
If I knew tomorrow's price today, I would be a multi millionaire but of course forex trading is a bit more difficult - you have to work out where prices are going without knowing them in advance!
3. All short term volatility is random!
Day traders will claim that it's not - but of course it is!
Volatility can and does, take prices anywhere in a day and daily support and resistance levels are meaningless. When day traders lose, they blame the system or the indicators they use, however if volatility is random, then it is of course the logic of day trading that is at fault - NOT the indicators.
If you think that you can make money day trading go ahead and try but you will learn a very expensive lesson and lose.
I would love a day trader to prove me wrong and produce a real time track record of gains over the longer term (3 years or more), but have the feeling I will be waiting for a long time.
The belief that you can make money day trading, is one of the biggest myths of forex trading and despite the evidence it doesn't work, traders still think they can win at it – they can't.

Brad Lidge: Phillies fans' fanaticism is "in their blood"
11/02/2022 MLB
The World Series has returned to Philadelphia for the first time since 2009. The City of Brotherly Love, no surprise, has embraced it with a passion that borders on bonkers.
"Phillies fans have been Phillies fans for as long as their family lineage goes back. Baseball is in their blood," said former reliever Brad Lidge, who won a World Series ring with the Phillies in 2008 but then lost to the Yankees in the 2009 series.
The Phillies hosted the Astros in Game 3 Tuesday night at Citizens Bank with the series tied 1-1.
Lidge, a graduate of Cherry Creek High School who spent 11 seasons in the majors, was an All-Star for both the Astros (2005) and the Phillies (2008). In 39 postseason games, he posted a 2.18 ERA and racked up 18 saves.
Though Lidge is thrilled to see the Astros' success, he's rooting hard for Philadelphia, the team that reached out to him after he retired following the 2012 season.
"I'll always root for the Astros, but in this particular World Series, I'll be cheering for the Phillies," Lidge said. "It's tricky, but you can't be a politician all of the time and I'll flat-out say that I'm cheering for the Phillies."
Lidge, who now lives in Denver, hosts a baseball show on MLB Network Radio and also works as an assistant for the Phillies during spring training.
He has fond memories of his days in Houston, where he pitched in the postseason in 2004 and '05, including in the World Series in 2005 when the Astros — then a National League team — lost to the White Sox.
"There were times when Minute Maid Park was so loud you couldn't hear yourself," Lidge said. "Fans really got swept up by the team in the playoff."
Still, the rabid Philly fans are a different breed.
"The passion of the Phillies fans is, shall I say, 'aggressive,' " Lidge said with a laugh. "More than other fans, they will really get into it. They'll get into fights defending their Phillies even during bad seasons. You just don't see that in many other places."
This season, Philadelphia was an 87-win team that shocked the baseball world by barely qualifying for the playoffs as a wild-card team and then advancing to the World Series. When that happened, more than 1 million fans entered a ticket lottery on the team website for the opportunity to purchase tickets. Approximately 20,000 tickets were available to the public — total — for the Phillies' three home games at 43,500-seat Citizens Bank Park.
When the Astros pulled up to the ballpark in the team bus on Monday, before the rain moved in, the team was greeted by taunts, signs, and single-finger gestures from Philly fans.
For the good, and sometimes the bad, Philly fans are bound to their teams.
"In Philadelphia, fans feel so connected to the team, it's like part of their family," Lidge said. "So when the team isn't playing well or guys are having bad seasons, they really take it personally.
"That's where that intensity and passion come from. They just really want to win. They get really offended if the team doesn't win…That makes it even better when they win like they are doing now."

Aadhar name and religion change for Rs. 3000? Will Gujarat HC take suo motu cognizance?
By Parasuram
Even though the Gujarat state government has implemented a law against forcible or deceitful conversions such as those achieved by hiding one's true identity to entrap girls, new information has emerged about how even this new law could be subverted.
A report in Dainik Bhaskar newspaper indicates that there is an entire mafia that aids and abets the identity fraud. It is alleged that certain government-authorised Aadhar centres are running this racket of making Aadhaar card name change amendments without proper legal documents. There is a rate card – Rs 350 for a simple name change and Rs. 3000 for changing name from one religion to another.
A case has also come to light where a Hindu girl got married to a Muslim after converting her religion in the Aadhar card. This way, one can just skip the formal conversion process, which as per Gujarat's new Freedom of Religion (Amendment) Act mandates that the person who wishes to get converted for marriage needs to inform the district magistrate in a prescribed form. It must be noted that this particular section of the new law has been stayed by Gujarat HC, and the Gujarat government intends to appeal this decision in Supreme Court.
Investigations by Bhaskar revealed that for a name change from one religion to another, one needs to produce an application on the official letterhead of an MP, MLA, Corporator or class-1 gazetted officer. But the Aadhar center operators claim that they can 'manage' such letterheads as long as the money is paid. So not just for grooming jihad, such manipulation also means Aadhar cards could now be issued to Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators in Hindu names.
The Bhaskar reporter asked whether his 'friend' Aejaz could have his name changed to Ajay, and was told to pay Rs.3000 and it would be done. He was also sent samples of the sort of official letterheads that were needed, and told that these would be managed for him.
It is not known whether such letters are being forged or it is being done in collaboration with corrupt officials. Other questions that arise – are the checks and balances around the Aadhar update process sufficient? Are they somehow being bypassed? Is the Unique ID portal itself being hacked in some way? All those answers can only emerge after a thorough probe by central and state agencies.
Experts told Bhaskar that a change of religion is not legal without gazette notification. This may very well be true, but once someone is able to change their name and religion on the Aadhar, the requirement for 'legal conversion' becomes moot. Especially if the girl is whisked away to some other town and given this new identity.
Surat Collector Ayush Oak told Bhaskar that if someone wants to change his or her religion on the Aadhar card, approval was needed from the district collector. But the evidence unearthed by Bhaskar hints otherwise.
There is another angle to this entire mess. Last month, the Gujarat chapter of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind filed a petition in the High Court, claiming that some of the amended sections of the state's new Freedom of Religion (Amendment) Act were 'unconstitutional'. The Gujarat HC division bench of Chief Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Biren Vaishnav then terminated Section 5 of the Act which mandates prior permission from the district collector (aka district magistrate) for anyone converting their religion, as well as for the priest/clergy conducting such conversion.
So now that no approval is needed from the district magistrate for conversions, what does that mean for the Aadhar name/religion change process? In a nation plagued by illegal immigration, mass conversions endangering social harmony, and which anyway has limited law enforcement capacity, are important checks and balances to ensure social harmony and national security being sacrificed at the altar of so-called 'personal freedoms'? Why are sections of the judiciary against subjecting conversions to additional scrutiny, when even an ordinary person can see the havoc being wreaked by conversion gangs operating with impunity all around?

How To Check If You Are A Genuine Manchester United Fan Or Just A "Pretend" One, Plus The Annual Failure Awards
Posted: April 19, 2018 in Arsenal, Chelsea, Football, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Opinion, Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur
Tags: David De Gea, Eric Cantona, Fans, Jose Mourinho
As regular readers will be aware, this little old publication is, ostensibly, dedicated to Manchester United with a reasonable amount of due deference given to that other club in the city, City!
There are also mentions for other teams from time to time as we like to spout forth on many aspects of top Premier League life but it is mainly United to which we dedicate our pages.
As a Mancunian, it has always been a source of surprise and, sometimes, dismay to hear the way the two sets of supporters go on about the other club. There are City fans who hate United and there are United fans who feel the same about City. (more…)
Mourinho Plays The Blame Game, The Sunday Supplement Is More Like Play School And It's A Good Day For London

Tags: Eric Cantona, FA Cup, Huddersfield Town, Jose Mourinho, Wayne Rooney
José Mourinho has decided that the loss against Huddersfield Town was entirely the fault of his players. He is right, to an extent, in that it is they who take to the pitch and, therefore, they who have the major say in how the game is going to be played and whether or not they will win.
He is also right if they fail to carry out his instructions and leave the field having lost the game.
He is wrong to think that, by publicly blaming the players, it makes him in some way safer in his job. (more…)
Would It Be A Disaster If Manchester United Were To Sign No More Players This Summer?
Posted: July 3, 2017 in European Football, Football, Manchester United, Opinion, Premier League, Transfers
Tags: Arsenal, Eric Cantona, George Graham, Sir Alex Ferguson, Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The short answer is yes, it would be and for the following long reasons.
Leaving aside Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is now no longer an option, Manchester United had nobody reaching double figures in the goalscoring charts last season.
That was one of the reasons United didn't challenge for the title and, in the end, didn't even really challenge for the top four. Too many games were drawn at home and the annoying aspect of those draws was that the majority of them were 1-1 results where United had led the games for lengthy periods, with the obvious exception being the Liverpool game where they actually managed to come back and draw in the last minute.

A Good Weekend Was Had By All The Top Clubs, (Unless You Happen To Be Manchester United Or Tottenham Hotspur)

A quarter-ish way through the season and things are, unfortunately for some, beginning to take shape.
Draws at home did not help the cause of either Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur.
United should have beaten Burnley by three or four goals but their failure in front of goal may yet prove that Zlatan Ibrahimović was not the signing which should have been prioritised during the recent transfer window. (more…)

(Wayne Rooney looks over his shoulder only to find that the manager insists on him playing!)
Recently, one or two football players have remarked that they have "nothing to prove". They say this as though they have reached a pinnacle and will never drop their standards below this optimum level.
Marouane Fellaini was one of the ones to speak out and that, frankly, was laughable. Now it's the turn of Wayne Rooney again. Yes, again! It seems that Wayne likes to tell everybody how good he really is on a fairly regular basis. (more…)
What Is Jose Mourinho's "Youth Policy" At Manchester United?

(Marcus Rashford shows Cameron Borthwick-Jackson how many fans are at the game)
Since taking the manager's job at Old Trafford Jose Mourinho has overseen the winning of the Community Shield and two wins out of two games in the Premier League.
Players who have been conspicuous by their absence include a few of the younger members who had some game time last season because Louis van Gaal had a lot of injuries and no experienced cover.
When, for example, Luke Shaw was injured in the Champion's League, there was no ready made experienced replacement. Wayne Rooney's continued decline meant that Anthony Martial was given many more games than he would have been had there been an older player waiting for his chance. (more…)

Eric Cantona recently stated that Zlatan Ibrahimovic could become the "Prince of Manchester". This title was the highest earthly one available according to Eric as HE was the "King of Manchester".
The first task here is to correct Eric's misunderstanding that he is the "King". This title has always belonged, and will always belong, to Denis Law, regardless of whoever follows him.
Proof, if any were needed, can not only be found in the number of goals Law scored for United, but also in the lyrics of a famous old song which rang round Old Trafford for many years. Sang to the tune of "Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner", the title was changed to "Maybe it's because I'm from Manchester" and the final line was "and the King is Denis Law". Older followers of these chronicles will remember it well. (more…)
Would Paul Pogba Bring Anything Extra To Jose Mourinho's Manchester United?

It seems that Manchester United's overworked scouts have again been collecting some overtime.
Having already unearthed a gem by scouting the little known French league and coming up with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Jose Mourinho sent them back across the channel to see if there were any more hidden away.
Before long a report was winging it's way to Old Trafford bearing news of a young player at a little club in Paris. His name: Paul Labile Pogba. According to the scouts he would be a snip at around £90 million and would cost a mere £300k per week. They had watched a couple of games and, although he had been pretty ineffective, the scouts had seen enough to convince them that a move should be made to sign him. (more…)

According to different operation site of VSI sand making machine, VSI sand making machine can be installed inside or outdoor. When VSI sand making machine is installed, its axis must be perpendicular to the level. In addition, there should be a lifting device above the VSI sand making machine. Weight that the lifting device can bear refers to the maximum weight of VSI sand making machine. There should be same left spaces above the VSI sand making machine for lifting it up, and some space left at the side of VSI sand making machine for the maintenance and inspection of the equipment.

Q: Return objects from an array using nested map operation The following query transform the json data as objects - 1st level map (No problem over here - I am expecting the result to be like this)
const customerOptions = () => {
  return customersQuery.edges.map(({ node: { id, name } }) => {
    return { key: id, text: name, value: id };
  });
};

Output

However, if I iterate my json data using nested map operation I am getting the result as an array of objects - (Here I am expecting to return the data in the same format as the 1st query)
const departmentOptions = () => {
  return customersQuery.edges.map(({ node: { departments } }) => {
    return departments.map(({ id, name }) => {
      return { key: id, text: name, value: id };
    });
  });
};

What I'm trying to achieve is to return the second level array mapping as a list of object so the final result would be a list of 40 objects.

A: Use reduce and forEach to push to an array each department data.

const customersQuery = {"edges":[{"node":{"id":20,"name":"Customer name 20","departments":[{"id":39,"name":"Department name 20"},{"id":40,"name":"Department name 20"}]}},{"node":{"id":19,"name":"Customer name 19","departments":[{"id":37,"name":"Department name 19"},{"id":38,"name":"Department name 19"}]}},{"node":{"id":18,"name":"Customer name 18","departments":[{"id":35,"name":"Department name 18"},{"id":36,"name":"Department name 18"}]}},{"node":{"id":17,"name":"Customer name 17","departments":[{"id":33,"name":"Department name 17"},{"id":34,"name":"Department name 17"}]}},{"node":{"id":16,"name":"Customer name 16","departments":[{"id":31,"name":"Department name 16"},{"id":32,"name":"Department name 16"}]}},{"node":{"id":15,"name":"Customer name 15","departments":[{"id":29,"name":"Department name 15"},{"id":30,"name":"Department name 15"}]}},{"node":{"id":14,"name":"Customer name 14","departments":[{"id":27,"name":"Department name 14"},{"id":28,"name":"Department name 14"}]}},{"node":{"id":13,"name":"Customer name 13","departments":[{"id":25,"name":"Department name 13"},{"id":26,"name":"Department name 13"}]}},{"node":{"id":12,"name":"Customer name 12","departments":[{"id":23,"name":"Department name 12"},{"id":24,"name":"Department name 12"}]}},{"node":{"id":11,"name":"Customer name 11","departments":[{"id":21,"name":"Department name 11"},{"id":22,"name":"Department name 11"}]}},{"node":{"id":10,"name":"Customer name 10","departments":[{"id":13,"name":"Department name 10"},{"id":14,"name":"Department name 10"}]}},{"node":{"id":9,"name":"Customer name 9","departments":[{"id":11,"name":"Department name 9"},{"id":12,"name":"Department name 9"}]}},{"node":{"id":8,"name":"Customer name 8","departments":[{"id":19,"name":"Department name 8"},{"id":20,"name":"Department name 8"}]}},{"node":{"id":7,"name":"Customer name 7","departments":[{"id":15,"name":"Department name 7"},{"id":16,"name":"Department name 7"}]}},{"node":{"id":6,"name":"Customer name 6","departments":[{"id":17,"name":"Department name 6"},{"id":18,"name":"Department name 6"}]}},{"node":{"id":5,"name":"Customer name 5","departments":[{"id":9,"name":"Department name 5"},{"id":10,"name":"Department name 5"}]}},{"node":{"id":4,"name":"Customer name 4","departments":[{"id":7,"name":"Department name 4"},{"id":8,"name":"Department name 4"}]}},{"node":{"id":3,"name":"Customer name 3","departments":[{"id":5,"name":"Department name 3"},{"id":6,"name":"Department name 3"}]}},{"node":{"id":2,"name":"Customer name 2","departments":[{"id":3,"name":"Department name 2"},{"id":4,"name":"Department name 2"}]}},{"node":{"id":1,"name":"Customer name 1","departments":[{"id":1,"name":"Department name 1"},{"id":2,"name":"Department name 1"}]}}]};

const departmentOptions = () => {
  return customersQuery.edges.reduce((acc, { node: { departments } }) => {
    departments.forEach(({ id, name }) => {
      acc.push({ key: id, text: name, value: id });
    });

    return acc;
  }, []);
};

console.log(departmentOptions());

A: map doesn't change array length because it works on item level. You need to flatten resulting array. For example with concat
const departmentOptions = () => {
  return [].concat.apply([], customersQuery.edges.map(({ node: { departments } }) => {
    return departments.map(({ id, name }) => {
      return { key: id, text: name, value: id };
    });
  }));
};

Or using spread
const departmentOptions = () => {
  return [].concat(...customersQuery.edges.map(({ node: { departments } }) => {
    return departments.map(({ id, name }) => {
      return { key: id, text: name, value: id };
    });
  }));
};

A: I would make the outer function call a reduce() instead of a map() and concat() or push.apply() the inner map() in the reducer function:
Using concat():

let customersQuery = {"edges":[{"node":{"id":20,"name":"Customer name 20","departments":[{"id":39,"name":"Department name 20"},{"id":40,"name":"Department name 20"}]}},{"node":{"id":19,"name":"Customer name 19","departments":[{"id":37,"name":"Department name 19"},{"id":38,"name":"Department name 19"}]}},{"node":{"id":18,"name":"Customer name 18","departments":[{"id":35,"name":"Department name 18"},{"id":36,"name":"Department name 18"}]}},{"node":{"id":17,"name":"Customer name 17","departments":[{"id":33,"name":"Department name 17"},{"id":34,"name":"Department name 17"}]}},{"node":{"id":16,"name":"Customer name 16","departments":[{"id":31,"name":"Department name 16"},{"id":32,"name":"Department name 16"}]}},{"node":{"id":15,"name":"Customer name 15","departments":[{"id":29,"name":"Department name 15"},{"id":30,"name":"Department name 15"}]}},{"node":{"id":14,"name":"Customer name 14","departments":[{"id":27,"name":"Department name 14"},{"id":28,"name":"Department name 14"}]}},{"node":{"id":13,"name":"Customer name 13","departments":[{"id":25,"name":"Department name 13"},{"id":26,"name":"Department name 13"}]}},{"node":{"id":12,"name":"Customer name 12","departments":[{"id":23,"name":"Department name 12"},{"id":24,"name":"Department name 12"}]}},{"node":{"id":11,"name":"Customer name 11","departments":[{"id":21,"name":"Department name 11"},{"id":22,"name":"Department name 11"}]}},{"node":{"id":10,"name":"Customer name 10","departments":[{"id":13,"name":"Department name 10"},{"id":14,"name":"Department name 10"}]}},{"node":{"id":9,"name":"Customer name 9","departments":[{"id":11,"name":"Department name 9"},{"id":12,"name":"Department name 9"}]}},{"node":{"id":8,"name":"Customer name 8","departments":[{"id":19,"name":"Department name 8"},{"id":20,"name":"Department name 8"}]}},{"node":{"id":7,"name":"Customer name 7","departments":[{"id":15,"name":"Department name 7"},{"id":16,"name":"Department name 7"}]}},{"node":{"id":6,"name":"Customer name 6","departments":[{"id":17,"name":"Department name 6"},{"id":18,"name":"Department name 6"}]}},{"node":{"id":5,"name":"Customer name 5","departments":[{"id":9,"name":"Department name 5"},{"id":10,"name":"Department name 5"}]}},{"node":{"id":4,"name":"Customer name 4","departments":[{"id":7,"name":"Department name 4"},{"id":8,"name":"Department name 4"}]}},{"node":{"id":3,"name":"Customer name 3","departments":[{"id":5,"name":"Department name 3"},{"id":6,"name":"Department name 3"}]}},{"node":{"id":2,"name":"Customer name 2","departments":[{"id":3,"name":"Department name 2"},{"id":4,"name":"Department name 2"}]}},{"node":{"id":1,"name":"Customer name 1","departments":[{"id":1,"name":"Department name 1"},{"id":2,"name":"Department name 1"}]}}]};

const departmentOptions = () => {
  return customersQuery.edges.reduce((result, { node: { departments } }) => {
    return result.concat(departments.map(({ id, name }) => {
      return { key: id, text: name, value: id };
    }));
  }, []);
};

console.log(departmentOptions());

Using push.apply():

let customersQuery = {"edges":[{"node":{"id":20,"name":"Customer name 20","departments":[{"id":39,"name":"Department name 20"},{"id":40,"name":"Department name 20"}]}},{"node":{"id":19,"name":"Customer name 19","departments":[{"id":37,"name":"Department name 19"},{"id":38,"name":"Department name 19"}]}},{"node":{"id":18,"name":"Customer name 18","departments":[{"id":35,"name":"Department name 18"},{"id":36,"name":"Department name 18"}]}},{"node":{"id":17,"name":"Customer name 17","departments":[{"id":33,"name":"Department name 17"},{"id":34,"name":"Department name 17"}]}},{"node":{"id":16,"name":"Customer name 16","departments":[{"id":31,"name":"Department name 16"},{"id":32,"name":"Department name 16"}]}},{"node":{"id":15,"name":"Customer name 15","departments":[{"id":29,"name":"Department name 15"},{"id":30,"name":"Department name 15"}]}},{"node":{"id":14,"name":"Customer name 14","departments":[{"id":27,"name":"Department name 14"},{"id":28,"name":"Department name 14"}]}},{"node":{"id":13,"name":"Customer name 13","departments":[{"id":25,"name":"Department name 13"},{"id":26,"name":"Department name 13"}]}},{"node":{"id":12,"name":"Customer name 12","departments":[{"id":23,"name":"Department name 12"},{"id":24,"name":"Department name 12"}]}},{"node":{"id":11,"name":"Customer name 11","departments":[{"id":21,"name":"Department name 11"},{"id":22,"name":"Department name 11"}]}},{"node":{"id":10,"name":"Customer name 10","departments":[{"id":13,"name":"Department name 10"},{"id":14,"name":"Department name 10"}]}},{"node":{"id":9,"name":"Customer name 9","departments":[{"id":11,"name":"Department name 9"},{"id":12,"name":"Department name 9"}]}},{"node":{"id":8,"name":"Customer name 8","departments":[{"id":19,"name":"Department name 8"},{"id":20,"name":"Department name 8"}]}},{"node":{"id":7,"name":"Customer name 7","departments":[{"id":15,"name":"Department name 7"},{"id":16,"name":"Department name 7"}]}},{"node":{"id":6,"name":"Customer name 6","departments":[{"id":17,"name":"Department name 6"},{"id":18,"name":"Department name 6"}]}},{"node":{"id":5,"name":"Customer name 5","departments":[{"id":9,"name":"Department name 5"},{"id":10,"name":"Department name 5"}]}},{"node":{"id":4,"name":"Customer name 4","departments":[{"id":7,"name":"Department name 4"},{"id":8,"name":"Department name 4"}]}},{"node":{"id":3,"name":"Customer name 3","departments":[{"id":5,"name":"Department name 3"},{"id":6,"name":"Department name 3"}]}},{"node":{"id":2,"name":"Customer name 2","departments":[{"id":3,"name":"Department name 2"},{"id":4,"name":"Department name 2"}]}},{"node":{"id":1,"name":"Customer name 1","departments":[{"id":1,"name":"Department name 1"},{"id":2,"name":"Department name 1"}]}}]};

const departmentOptions = () => {
  return customersQuery.edges.reduce((result, { node: { departments } }) => {
    result.push.apply(result, departments.map(({ id, name }) => {
      return { key: id, text: name, value: id };
    }));

    return result;
  }, []);
};

console.log(departmentOptions());

concat() is better if your inner arrays are very large, as it uses heap memory at the downside of copying the data from the result array into a new one each time.
push.apply() is better if your inner arrays are relatively small, as it uses stack memory, and appends the data to the end of the existing result array, and does not perform an explicit copy each time.

If you wish to generate health insurance leads of highest quality then first you need to make your client realize how significant it is for the family and him. Each and every health insurance leads company wants to generate health insurance leads which makes the lead generation difficult however if you wish to be ahead in the race then you should not follow the drifts that generate leads through same methods. Just remember that companies might purchase leads only when you promise them that they will get the best quality leads and the prospects who are actually interested in purchasing the health insurance.
What are the benefits of the product or service you offer?
What are the emotional desire and requirements of your prospects?
When you wish to produce leads for the health insurance before explaining them what the health insurance is, make them realize and understand why they require purchasing it as this will assist you in winning their confidence. When your prospects have confidence in you, explain them the health insurance concept. Just monitor the prospects' mind and set up an association between the emotional cravings as well as health insurance advantages.
If you want to make prospects understand that anybody's life is not predictable so anything can take place anytime and purchasing health insurance may help them leading a healthy and safe life as well as guard them from having massive financial loss. In case, the prospects don't think their lives are in danger, they could meet an accident anywhere or experience some serious illness then you can't generate any leads. Therefore, target the prospects with emotional desires of getting the advantages of services provided by you. Make your communication skills effective to convince people that they actually require a health insurance.
Just let them know the advantages of taking health insurance after providing sufficient introduction like you have packed everything. Just try and be relaxed while explaining them the benefits with the intention that they can tell themselves the advantages explained by you. You just need to ask questions or talk about the topic that indirectly helps them to purchase it.

Last Cadillac DTS Joins Bulgari Luxury Goods Chairman's Private Collection
Viknesh Vijayenthiran May 30, 2011 Comment Now!
Earlier this month the Cadillac STS ended production and this past week the same fate befell its bigger brother, the DTS, with the last example seen here rolling off the production line at the car's Detroit-Hamtramck plant. As we've reportedly several times in the past, the DTS, along with the smaller STS, is to be replaced next year by a single model based on last year's Cadillac XTS Platinum concept car.
As for the last DTS, the black colored car will now enter the private collection of Nicola Bulgari, the current vice chairman of the Bulgari luxury goods brand and the grandson of its founder.
You may wonder why Bulgari favors the DTS so greatly. He explains that it is a significant automobile, primarily because of the Northstar V-8 engine under its hood.
"I like the DTS because it's a great sedan," Bulgari said. "It's the last of an era. I thought it would be wonderful to own the last Northstar in a DTS. It's one of the best engines ever designed--reliable and a performer."
Bulgari also has a special fondness for American cars, which he attained as a child after seeing U.S. soldiers driving through the streets of Rome, Italy in many different models shortly after World War II. And when he was just 25, Bulgari bought his first Cadillac--a 1938 Cadillac V-16 Town Car.

By Karen Clark in Social Media. Updated on August 3, 2018 .
Like any communication line, Facebook is unfortunately prone to knots and tangles. While the company employs some of the best and brightest computer scientists, businesspeople and modern polymaths, it's impossible to avoid a few security breaches when they're manning a network that covers Facebook's nearly inconceivable digital expanse.
Since shedding its reputation as a college-orientated network and ascending to the status of mainstream media fixture, Facebook has fallen victim to an assembly of attacks committed by anyone and everyone, from profit-mongering Russian collectives to rogue American vagabonds.
Here are the five attacks you need to know about, and what you can do to protect yourself against them or future similar attacks.
Probably the most well-known of the Facebook cons, in part because of its anagrammatic title, Koobface reached its height of virulence in 2009. Koobface commonly implants itself by masquerading on your newsfeed as a must-see viral video.
Upon clicking the video, users are prompted with an offer to download the latest version of flash player – in reality, it's a worm in disguise. Once it's installed, the cybercriminal who built the worm is given remote access to your computer, allowing him or her a front row seat for all your most sensitive digital information.
To avoid this frightening prospect, be particularly careful in what you download from social media networks, and keep your anti-virus software updated so it can detect the most recent strains of Koobface.
Much like Koobface, Zeus works under the assumption that people will click links disguised as fan pages, social shares and even friend profiles. Again, once users click a link, they're prompted to install malware which sits dormant on your system until you access your bank account, at which point it makes a copy of your username and password.
As a Web-wide policy, experts recommend bookmarking select websites that handle your personal information and have a long history of reliable account protection.
That way, you can stack up the website you're intending to visit against the website you know you can trust, and make sure the domains match without a letter, number or slash to spare.
Likejacking scams have been known to hover around Facebook for months at a time before they're stomped out. But the problem is once one goes down, another pops up.
While the process isn't particularly harmful – just annoying – it's never a good idea to put yourself in the way of any likejacking programs. Since they typically lead out to spammy websites, residual viruses and infections are always a possibility.
Keep a keen eye for any article shares that seem too ridiculously titled to be true, and use a significant bit of discretion before you click the like button.
Last March, the Facebook Black scam spread itself across the social web by promising users an alternate blacked-out appearance for Facebook's home screen.
If installed, the files lead to an influx of bothersome surveys. Additionally, the bug automatically perpetuates itself by setting up a promotional page on your account to dupe your friends into clicking the very same link.
If you're infected, make sure you remove the files immediately – often times they're nested in a Google Chrome extension, which allows for a quick uninstall.
And always be sure to do some research before you download any type of add-on or extension that supposedly 'modifies your Facebook experience'. Sometimes, they're legitimate. But too many times, they're bogus.
5. Who Viewed Your Profile?
Facebookers are a curious bunch. That's why there's a certain allure to figuring out who viewed your profile in a given day. While that option has never been open to Facebook users, there have been plenty of scammers willing to exploit that desire.
Hackers have crafted a number of advertisements for fake Facebook applications which are supposed to give insight into who's looking at your profile. Like Facebook Black, these advertisements are bunk, and regularly lead to browser extension downloads. Once you've installed the extension, hackers can get quick, easy access to the personal information stored on your account.
Precautionary tales indicate that Facebook users should refrain from clicking URLs that look too short to be normal. Also, make it a regular routine to check through your Facebook apps and determine which ones are real and which ones you've never used – the sleeping apps could be connected to malware.
While no one claims virulent activity to be a good thing for Facebook's general health, there's a thin silver lining through it all. With each attack, Facebook learns more about the fissures in its code. And with each attack, Facebook finds a way to patch itself, and rebuild stronger, better and more secure.
To aid the process, it's up to us to spray an extra coat of diligence on our online decision making processes. The more responsible we are with our online activity – particularly with what we click and who we trust – the less likely these viruses are to stain the fabric of our valued social networks.

The Food Law Code of Practice (April 2015) establishes the Higher Certificate in Food Control (HCFC) as the baseline qualification for undertaking official controls. Section 4.6 of the Food Law Practice Guidance states that those who do not possess the HCFC, but consider their qualifications, training and experience to be suitable to undertake specific enforcement activities, can apply for an 'Equivalency Assessment'. The CIEH has the authority to offer an equivalency assessment against the baseline qualification.
Applicants' knowledge and skills will be mapped against the Environmental Health Registration Board (EHRB)'s Higher Certificate in Food Control syllabus and logbook to assess equivalence to the baseline qualification. The documents are linked below.
Successful candidates will receive a certificate of equivalence to the baseline qualification, entry on the Environmental Health Registration Board register and will be entitled to undertake the appropriate official controls in food safety. More information on which official controls can be obtained from the Practice Guidance on the Food Standards Agency website.
There is a £300 one-off fee for the assessment, which includes EHRB registration for successful candidates.
Applications which are initially unsuccessful may be addressed by the candidate through compensatory measures. The required measures will be specified in the assessment result. Candidates are advised that there may be additional costs associated with completing some compensatory measures.
All applications must be supported by appropriate evidence. Evidence might include certificates, job descriptions, references/testimonials, curricula, attendance lists, etc. The completed application should be supported by evidence and sent by email to the CIEH Education Unit.
Each application will be handled on a case by case basis. We aim to complete each assessment within eight weeks of receipt, but this time frame may be extended if the number of applications exceed expectations.


Travelling short distances by land is nice and good, but taking to the sea (or lake or river) is an altogether different kind of experience. Combined with the fact that many cities around the world are built by the water has made ferry lines created to accommodate commuters, locals and travellers alike a common occurrence and something to be enjoyed in a wide variety of urban environments.
Here are some 'voyages' our Spotters have highlighted for their authenticity, proximity to locals, excellent views, low price, actually using ships to get around the city, or all of the above.
Hamburg is a great example of a city where the ferries are completely integrated with the rest of the public transport system. With HVV Fähre (Hamburger Verkehrsverbund) you can travel on any bus, train, metro or ferry with a single 3.20€ day ticket.
Local Kyra recommends taking Ferry 62 that goes from Landungsbrücken to Finkenwerder and back via Altona/Fischmarkt, Dockland/Fischereihafen Neumühlen/Övelgönne (Elbstrand) and Bubendey-Ufer. It's a route that offers a great overview of the harbor, with ferries running every 15 minutes.
While not exactly public transport, San Francisco's Water Taxis fill most of the same needs – with style. Local Keith actually considers them to be one of his city's best-kept secrets: "everyone loves San Francisco for its waterfront, landmarks, storied past and photo opportunities of the spectacular Bay. While there are lots of boating options, I highly recommend the Water Taxi as a fun and affordable way to get all that and more".
On ball days the Water Taxis will also pick up and drop off at the popular Pier 39 and AT&T ballpark. Jacket recommended all-year-round.
Rotterdam's Waterbus serves lines within the city itself as well as sites on the river Maas farther out from the city itself, e.g. Dordrecht and Kinderdijk – local Spotter José recommends approaching the UNESCO heritage site from the river as the best way to visit it.
Our Spotter Fedde, on the other hand, suggests having a go at Line 19 of the Waterbus that connects Esch with Feyenoord. "You can take your bike for free and have a beautiful view from the water of the Van Brienenoord bridge and of the skyline of Rotterdam." This line is super-local, chiefly serving commuters. However, as such, it comes with a drawback: it only operates on weekdays during business hours, from 07:00 to 19:00.
Budapest local Mihály recommends we take the boat when visiting his city, but not just any crowded touristic vessel that floats along the Danube: hopping on a BKK – Budapesti Közlekedési Központ or Budapest's Public Transport Services – ferry could take you to all the most important sites on the river while costing up to 90% less (or for free, if you're a card/pass holder)!
They're crowded and running from sunrise to sunset. Some are old and rusty, but orange "Cacilheiro" boats are definitely part of our lovely town. Some say, that since the new Catamarans are being used they will soon disappear as they are becoming obsolete. Thank you again modernists! Now I'm praying to all my gods, the city mayor, the left and right parties and our king who doesn't rule, that someone please have a look at these wonderful unique boats and please… please… don't throw them to the nearest junkyard.

Close win sends Iowa shearer to world contest
Just two tenths of a point separated the top three spots in the professional division of the 2019 Black Hills Stock Show National Sheep Shearing Championship on Thursday in Rapid City, S.D. When the dust settled, Iowa's Davin Perrin claimed the top spot – his third national championship, but first since 2007 – and secured his place on the United States team that will head to the World Shearing and Wool Handling Championships this summer in France.
Perrin finished shearing his 10 sheep in the final round more than a minute and a half behind an almost simultaneous finish by Loren Opstedahl, Alex Moser and Nolan Abel. But there's more to the contest than just being fast. Shearers are judged both while they are shearing and after they've finished, with points adding up for miscues such as leaving wool on the sheep or second cuts in the fleece. Perrin's quality score of 15.6 points was 4.5 points ahead of Moser and Abel and allowed him to take the top spot with a combined score of 60.30 points. Moser was second at 60.45 points and Abel took third at 60.50 points.
"With the top four out there, it's anybody's game," Perrin said. "I shear with Alex and Nolan all the time, and they're always ahead of me at the end of the day. But the quality aspect is important too. My grandfather and father both sheared, and I tagged along with them all the time. I started shearing when I was 14, but they always stressed quality and doing the job the right way."
Based on a season-long point system, Moser had already earned one of the two shearing spots on the United States' team for the world championships, regardless of what happened in Rapid City. But the defending national champion still had his sights set on the top spot.
"It took a little pressure off of me, but I still wanted to give it my best shot," said Moser. "We shear together every day, so we knew it was going to be close. All four of the finalists in the professional division are definitely among the top shearers in the country."
Perrin and Moser will be joined on the national team by blade shearers Kevin Ford and Doug Rathke and wool handlers Leann Brimmer and Amelia Seifert.
The blade shearing division was nearly as close as the professional division, with Ford edging Rathke by just three tenths of a point. Both are experienced blade shearers who have competed multiple times at the world championships.
Brimmer's win in the wool handling division wasn't quite as close as the veteran topped Seifert by three points thanks to a fault-free run.
Shearers in two other divisions also competed, but without a spot in the world championships on the line. South Dakota's Levi McTaggert used the support of a substantial cheering section to win the intermediate division over John Beasley by 5.5 points. Left hander Jacob Earhart of Virginia – the only southpaw in the competition – won the junior division by 10 points over Abigail Appleby.
