Q: Get button index on click, then click on another button using the index from previous one I am trying to get the index from a button inside a div with multiple of the same button classes. Once that button is clicked the index is put in a variable and then another type of button is clicked using the index (ordering/number) from the previous one.
I can't really wrap my mind around how to do this. I tried the following but no luck.

$('.tab-link').on('click', function() {
  let tablinkIndex = $(this).index();
  $(".slider-dot tr:eq(" + tablinkIndex + ")").click();
});

A: I suggest you to use data-index for every element to find and determine indexes

The Year of Remote Work: Remote Work Statistics and Future Trends for 2021
Published On July 21, 2020 • Digital Workplace,Remote Work
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, companies have been forced to close down their offices and remote work has taken the spotlight. In the coming years, it is expected to remarkably change the way people work
Here are some important remote work statistics and future trends that companies need to consider before creating their remote working strategy:
77 percent[1] of the workforce wants to continue working from home, at least once a week even after the pandemic is over
Over 23-30 percent of employees will end up working from home multiple days in a week even by the end of 2021
If employees had a choice, 99 percent of them would choose to work remotely for the rest of their careers
For 83 percent of employees, the ability to work remotely, at least in some capacity, is a deciding factor while considering a job offer
90 percent of employees believe that flexibility in their work arrangements helps improve their morale
Remote workers can be 20-25 percent[2] more productive than their colleagues who work from offices
Employees who work remotely at least one day a month are 24 percent more likely to be productive and happy
76 percent of employees prefer to avoid their office altogether when they need to concentrate on a project
Will remote work become the new normal?
Advancements in technology have made it clear that employees can work smoothly from their homes with little to no interruptions. In fact, 77 percent[3] of employees claim that they are more productive when working from home
While companies are able to save up on the real estate and infrastructure costs when employees work remotely, employees appreciate the chance to avoid long morning office commutes and looking after their homebound kids (now that the schools are closed too).
As the coronavirus curve continues to flatten in many countries around the world, people are now going back to work with a whole new perspective about how offices should be. Most employees hope to work remotely at least for a few weeks every month now that they know they don't have to be physically present in offices every day just to manage their work or collaborate with their team.
The many benefits of remote work, include:
Better work-life balance for employees
When employees get to save time on their daily commute and excessive coffee breaks, they are able to improve productivity, finish their work faster, and save time. As a result, employees can achieve a better balance between their work and personal life–spend more time with their family, pick up hobbies, and get back to work with more motivation and inspiration.
Increase in productivity
Over 75 percent[4] of employees who work remotely agree they have fewer distractions when working out of office.
When employees work remotely, they feel more accountable and responsible for the work they are handling. Not to mention, when employees skip long commutes, pointless meetings that could have been emails, and other distractions, they are able to get more work done in less time.

Cost savings for the company
Most countries are now enforcing social distancing norms because of the fear of a second wave. For organizations, that means, changing the layout of their workplaces to ensure there is proper distance between employees' desks. This can only happen if companies rent out bigger office space or reduce the total number of employees attending the office every day, the latter being the more effective, cost-friendly, and obvious choice.
Fewer employees in the office means organizations need a smaller office space and fewer desks to accommodate everyone. In fact, according to a report, companies can save up to $2,000 per employee[5] by just allowing more people to work remotely from their homes.
How have organizations come to see remote work as the new normal?
In the last few months, many companies around the world have been forced to go remote without any well-planned strategy. While some employees are heading off to work as lockdown measures in their countries ease down, most organizations are now embracing remote work as the new normal.
Here is how some of the biggest companies in the world are supporting their employees through remote work:
Google has allowed its employees to continue working remotely until the end of the year. Additionally, Google is also offering its employees an allowance of over $1,000 to buy all the required equipment they need to set up their home offices. By September, employees will be allowed to come back to the office voluntarily. In the long run, Google will create a rotation program and only allow up to 30 percent of its workforce to come to the office.
Twitter's CEO, Jack Dorsey, announced in a company-wide email that all employees will be able to work from home permanently even after the COVID-19 situation is sorted.
Square, which is also headed by Dorsey, has implemented a similar permanent work from home policy.
Facebook will also allow its employees to work from home until the end of 2020. The company will start reopening some of its offices by July, but the employees who want to work from home can continue to do so until the end of the year.
All Microsoft employees can work remotely till October unless they are in an essential role which requires them to go to the office or the local authorities mandate otherwise.
The middle way — A hybrid approach to workplaces
Seeing how the top companies around the world are responding to the pandemic, it is clear that the future of the workplace will be hybrid.
As employees begin to return back to the workplace, many offices will limit the capacity of the total workforce attending offices or have employees come into the office on specific days or shifts. This will result in a hybrid workforce structure where some employees will work remotely, while others will work form the office itself.
With hybrid teams, it becomes possible for employees to have more control over their work hours. They can also decide when, where, and how they want to work to optimize their productivity.
When implemented properly, it can force companies to become more serious about documentation, more aware of thoughtful messaging, and more focused on improving the work-life balance of employees. For a company to follow a hybrid approach successfully, it is important to give equal importance to employees working from offices and the ones who work remotely.
The hybrid approach is also the easiest step for organizations to evaluate if they are even ready to go fully remote. It helps them understand the problems in their remote policy and rectify them with minimal impact.
Ideally, the hybrid approach in an organization should include the following:
The main form of communication should be asynchronous and it should be independent of the time zones so that everyone can be included in the conversation
All the decisions and actions should be documented and they should also be accessible to the whole team
All the benefits that the company offers should be available to all employees — whether they are working remotely or from the office
The leadership should also work remotely or have a lot of work from home days so that the other remote employees don't feel left out
Meetings should happen virtually even if there is just one team member who is working from home
Kissflow's approach to hybrid work
At Kissflow, we have announced an industry-first move towards a new hybrid work model called Remote+ for our employees. Under the hybrid approach, employees will only be required to work from the office one week in a month.
The company is headquartered in Chennai, India which is one of the biggest metropolitan cities in the country. Since employees only have to come to the office for one week in a month, they are encouraged to move back to their hometowns or suburbs to reduce living expenses, strengthen family bonds, and contribute to the local community.
Moreover, the decision to choose between hybrid or in-office work has been left to the teams since some departments need more face-to-face meetings than the others. During the three-month lockdown implemented in India when employees had to suddenly start working remotely, the organization already saw a 30 percent increase in productivity.
By implementing a hybrid approach, the company wants to make sure employees are able to build a good rapport with their team members and manage their work seamlessly without feeling burned out.
2020 is definitely the breakout year for remote work, but the long term solutions are not as obvious. As we move to the future, we will continue to monitor the best practices regarding distributed teams and achieve a better digital workplace.

One of the fun things about the popular series Mad Men is that it often references real brands from the period being portrayed. In a recent episode, Peggy is assigned to lead the pitch for Burger Chef, a popular hamburger chain in the 60's and 70's with restaurants across the US. When I saw this, it really hit home and brought back some memories. My Dad worked on that brand for years.
Growing up in the 70's, I remember driving with him to visit Burger Chef restaurants across the Northeast. His company produced point-of-sale, premiums and other collateral for the chain so he'd visit the stores to see that materials were merchandised correctly. At times we'd have so much Burger Chef stuff in the house that it felt like the "Burger Chef" and "Jeff" were members of the family.
After seeing the brand on Mad Men, I did some research. In the late 1970's, the Burger Chef chain was owned by General Foods and had over 1,000 stores across the US, second only to McDonalds. However, in 1982 GF management decided to divest and sold the chain to the parent company of Hardees, which subsequently rebranded or closed stores. The last Burger Chef restaurant dropped the name in 1996.
While the history is interesting, what really struck me is the devotion to the restaurant that continues today. Google "Burger Chef" and you'll find numerous tribute sites and social media pages dedicated to the brand. Many of these sites feature materials that my Dad's firm produced back then. It takes dedicated fans to hold onto packaging, premiums, displays, etc for almost 40 years!
Indeed. It's a good reminder that, in a digital world, there is still a place for traditional advertising and promotion. We are still physical beings who need to connect with the tangible items that surround us.
While digital ads disappear, printed advertising and promotions can stick around for a while. Sometimes for a very long while.


David Atlee Phillips, during a portion of the 1950s.
The origins of the word fulminator emerge from the Roman god Jupiter that hurled lighting and represents a person who "fulminates" or strongly denounces or criticizes something. It also can also refer to a substance that produces a small explosion.
This document transfer form is one within a file collection titled "Phillips, David Atlee.", it notes the transfer of files related to the cryptonym Fulminator-1 and matches this designation with CIA file 201-88764, the 201 number of David Atlee Phillips. The project is identified as FURIOSO-C.
(At p. 43): Operational clearance was given to FULMINATOR-1 in October 1950. (At p. 86): A document from a series of files regarding David Atlee Phillips states Project FULMINATOR utilized FULMINATOR-1 on "several occasions" was not active in November of 1951 but FULMINATOR would be "held in reserve status for future use in other projects." (At p.5): In 1955, note that Philllips' FULMINATOR info is routed to Officers Vandervoort (a military man)and Heitman or Heitzman (possibly FBI's Wally Heitman?); (At page 113): The project was terminated in 1957.
The file reveals that David Atlee Phillips used the pseudonym Michael M. Choaden and confirms his CIA reference number is "201-88764" and this matches the 201 number of FULMINATOR-1.
104-10177-10113: CHOADEN ARRIVING HAVA 9 OCT.
The cover page of this document states Choaden (pseudonym used by Phillips) was arriving in Havana October 9, 1958, and this matches the assignment of David Atlee Phillips to Cuba during that period and the subject of the file is "201-88764".

Meet the LGBT anarchists who've gone to Syria to fight ISIS
Fighters in the world's first LGBT military unit tell The Independent the time has come to 'announce our existence to people and governments who claim we do not exist'
The Syrian civil war has unleashed untold misery for millions of people caught between an authoritarian government, Islamic extremists and bombing by foreign nations.
But the last six years of darkness have also created the conditions for what is possibly the most enlightened revolutionary movement on the planet – the Kurdish people's attempt to seize their own destiny from others' hands. Women in particular have banded together to play a crucial part in the fight against Isis' brutality – and now, LGBT individuals are reportedly doing the same.
Long marginalised by the Baathist regime in Damascus, after repelling government forces in 2012 Syria's Kurds have managed to carve out a relatively peaceful and stable new societal order based in Rojava in the north east, flourishing despite the presence of enemies such as Isis on all sides.
The armed revolution has been the most successful ground force against Isis, and with the help of US firepower is now battling the militants for control of Raqqa, the extremists' last urban stronghold.
While the Kurdish project has encountered criticism, its wholehearted embrace of feminist principles makes it unlike any other militarised movement in the world.
Women's emancipation at the forefront of the Kurdish sociopolitical agenda, and the YPJ, or women's fighting units, have a frontline role in taking on Assad's army and allied militias, Turkish-backed forces, and Isis.
The female fighters often inspire the Arab and Yazidi women they liberate to take up arms themselves, and the movement has attracted hundreds of foreign fighters in the same spirit of the international socialists and communists who volunteered to fight fascism during the Spanish Civil War.
Now, after years of fighting which have honed both their battlefield skills and tested commitment to socialist ideals, a new chapter in the revolution's history has been announced: the creation of the first ever LGBT military unit.
The Queer Insurrection and Liberation Army (TQILA, pronounced "tequila") is a new unit attached to the anarchist International Revolutionary People's Guerrilla Forces (IRPGF), a relatively recently established fighting force in Syria's north-east which claims to work alonsgide the YPG, or Kurdish People's Protection Units. (A claim the YPG has denied).
"We, the International Revolutionary People's Guerrilla Forces (IRPGF) formally announce the formation of The Queer Insurrection and Liberation Army (TQILA), a subgroup of the IRPGF comprised of LGBTQI+ comrades as well as others who seek to smash the gender binary and advance the women's revolution as well as the broader gender and sexual revolution," a statement from the group released on Monday said.
A spokesperson for TQILA would not give identifying details about the unit's members backgrounds because of security concerns, but said that fighters came from a range of countries, as well as the Middle East's ethnic groups. It is not clear how many they number — by some accounts, fewer than 20.
But the volunteers had been brought together by a shared desire to combat forces such as Isis which persecutes LGBT individuals, Heval (or "friend") Rojhilat said by secure email.
"TQILA's members have watched in horror as fascists and extremist forces around the world have attacked the Queer community and murdered countless of our community members citing that they are 'ill', 'sick', and 'unnatural'.
"The images of gay men being thrown off roofs and stoned to death by Daesh was something we could not idly watch."
Indeed, the fight for LGBT equality and for physical freedom from oppression reach a zenith in the fight against Isis, Heval Rojhilat said.
"As Queers from and currently in the Middle East… one of the most radical acts we can do is to announce our existence to people and governments who have and continue to claim that we do not exist.
"We exist and we fight against tyranny, oppression and domination with the people, who seeing us, have come to love us for who we are and not as a stereotype or something to be feared."
One Kurdish gay rights activist The Independent spoke to who currently lives outside the region said he remained sceptical of TQILA's supposed goals – and what he called the "militarisation of sexual orientation". He was also critical of Kurdish attitudes towards LGBT individuals in general, which he said forced him to flee for fear of his own safety a few years ago.
The new unit's spokesperson acknowledged that "there are segments of Kurdish society which retain feudal and conservative attitudes", but pointed out that during training Kurdish troops undertake classes in which theories of sexuality and gender are critically discussed.
"The fact that these theories are being analysed and spoken about by one of the largest leftist guerrilla forces in the world, in the midst of a revolution and war, is transformative and inspiring," Heval Rojhilat said.
And besides – the time for passivity in the face of oppression is over, he said, adding: "Self-defence is a right and duty for our community and for others who are also facing oppression, domination and exploitation."
Abdullah Ocalan – the leader of the outlawed PKK Kurdish movement in neighbouring Turkey – uses the metaphor of a rose to describe women's liberation.
He says that the rose is beautiful but it has thorns to protect itself. Likewise, women must protect and defend themselves against both the state and patriarchal oppression – hence the creation of the women's fighting units.
"(TQILA) believes that this principle also applies to gender and sexual minorities," he said. "We want peace but if attacked and continually repressed, like the rose, we have thorns and we will strike back."


Writers unleashed their cries of freedom in the form of flash fiction. Freedom is not for everyone. What frees one, often confines another. Tragic? Not if you write fiction. Freedom is an ideal that builds great tension in a story. This week, writers found clashes at the heart of freedom.
The following stories are based on the September 17, 2014 prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) let freedom ring in your story.
Mohan was laying on his side with tears trickling down his cheeks, and he was quick to wipe from his spare wrist while the other one was occupied with the intravenous drip.
His body was screeching in pain, and he wanted a way out from this disease whose malignant growth had penetrated in his bones thus making it unbearable.
"It is just a matter of time" the docs said.
Family members were stroking his legs with the hope to give him some relief until he finally breathed his last, and got a well-deserved freedom from the diseased body.
She sat facing the thick glass that separated her from him, tissues clenched so tight in her fists they would be of little use to her if she needed them. Her eyes never leaving his as the needles were inserted into his veins, which would soon transfer the poisons into his body.
The time was coming. They had both been waiting for it, dreaming about it even.
She would no longer have to fight her hatred for him. He would no longer have to endure his own hatred of himself.
Finally they would be free. And she smiled resentfully.
They stopped at the first layby after the ferry. Jack hopped out to fetch their fleeces, the fog thick as their dread of returning to deskwork after three months drifting across Europe like a couple of hippies.
She stared at the dark window seeing only her reflection but knowing that, beyond the pane, he stood. He watched. What did he see? She wondered. Leaving him did not give her the freedom she wanted. It was a bold move, a departure from her character, to pack up and disappear. But she hadn't disappeared. Not from his sight. She couldn't run anymore.
The metal felt uncomfortable and cold on her leg where the gun rested. They were facing off. He, outside invading her privacy, taking away her sense of safety. She, inside contemplating trading one prison for another.
Jeffrey's family mobs him as the judge orders his release. The high-powered lawyers hired by his wealthy parents have done their job.
Reasonable doubt. The lawyers said they could create it, and they did.
"Freedom!" Jeffrey's father exclaims while patting his son's back. Family and friends hug him with relief and joy.
Linda Mykerson is dead. The Mykerson family is devastated. Jeffrey knows what really happened and is haunted by a truth he cannot escape.
He's not going to jail, but Jeffrey Macbrile is anything but free.
I had a vision: a myth called freedom; I went back there to explore it; and I discovered the astoundingly simple truth that They have tried to hide from us for more than 500 years now. I looked forward into a time when the hiding of this secret produces the worst devastation, unbelief and confusion. I had to try to do something about the plight of mankind, so I formulated a plan, simple enough in its design, yet anything but simple in its execution. This book that you hold in your hands now is the outworking of that plan.
Chelsea watches the seconds tick by on the monochromatic clock. Sixty seconds is an eternity, and freedom lies fifteen full minutes away.
"Focus on your work," the teacher says, her eyes fixed on Chelsea. Can't she hear the robins twittering outside, or see the sky, bluer than blue?
Chelsea laboriously copies the lesson from the chalkboard. Meaning is lost as she concentrates on the words.
Other children finish their work. The bird beckons her to the warm sun.
Five sentences in, the freedom bell rings.
Chelsea will never know what is written on the other half of that chalkboard.
It hurt, the suggestion she was dragging them along. She wanted to say it was her problem and she would sort it, but the gaunt look on Penny's face told a different story. Her father had created this prison but she had taken her family inside with her.
"I can't listen to any more. I just want my freedom." He stamped his foot.
"It's my God-given right to clean up on Rock Creek." Cob tensed his muscles, reminding Sarah of a tethered bull. Dragging boards by a nose ring drained the bull's fight. Cob raged freely.
It was her only protection.
It took me years to learn the game. To sit or raise my paw like a half-wit, all for a few nibbles. A scratch on the head.
It's difficult. The snap of a twig or the crunch of a leaf and my primal instincts flex. But still I wait.
Near the creek, meaty fingers fiddle with my harness, I'm told to be a good boy. I pant with exhilaration as the straps fall from my shoulders.
Galloping into sunset, the whistles grow faint. But I wasn't born for show or tricks.
I am not a good boy.
By Charli Mills in Flash Fiction Challenge on September 24, 2014 .
Love it! Again, so many different takes on the prompt. Although this time around, there are some similar themes… All fab flash!
Crimes and relationships have freedom (or lack of it) in common! Another great round!
Wonderful compilation once again Charli, love each and every one but particularly Anne's. Friends of ours leaving France after their holiday witnessed the throngs of young men running to 'hijack' exiting vehicles heading out from Calais to Dover. A very sad state of affairs to say the least.
Oh, wow, that could be scary but also heart-wrenching. I'd get in trouble trying to stuff people in the trunk!
Great compilation as usual, Charli, but this time a little darker maybe.
I think freedom to us into the tension that shadows the ideal. Thanks, Norah!
I like that : tension that shadows the ideal.

sim·u·la·crum | \ ˌsim-yə-ˈla-krəm , -ˈlā-\
plural simulacra\ ˌsim-yə-ˈla-krə , -ˈlā- \ also simulacrums
Definition of simulacrum
1 : image, representation a reasonable simulacrum of reality— Martin Mayer
2 : an insubstantial form or semblance of something : trace
Did You Know? More Example Sentences Learn More about simulacrum
It's not a figment of your imagination; there is a similarity between simulacrum and simulate. Both of those English words derive from simulare, a Latin verb meaning "to copy, represent, or feign." In its earliest English uses, simulacrum named something that provided an image or representation (as, for instance, a portrait, marble statue, or wax figure representing a person). Perhaps because a simulacrum, no matter how skillfully done, is not the real thing, the word gained an extended sense emphasizing the superficiality or insubstantiality of a thing.
Examples of simulacrum in a Sentence
What's left is a simulacrum of closeness and care that takes place in the digital space. — Annie Vainshtein, SFChronicle.com, "Everything you ever wanted to know about ASMR," 27 June 2019 Like the Masonic memorial, The View also caters to people who prefer simulacrums of experiences to the real thing. — Washington Post, "The 7 most spectacular views in D.C., ranked," 13 June 2019 Sometimes, though, a simulacrum of love just has to do. — Laird Borrelli-persson, Vogue, "When Designers Play Cupid: 18 of Our Favorite "Couple" Moments on the Runway," 14 Feb. 2019 That may remain the case until a simulacrum of space is indistinguishable from our own. — Edward Rothstein, WSJ, "'3D: Double Vision' Review: A Multidimensional Show Feels Flat," 24 July 2018 In sharing Drake's astrological positioning, Nicholas was quick to point out that his natal chart is a particularly powerful simulacrum. — Hannah Giorgis, The Atlantic, "Drake's Scorpion, as Explained by an Astrologer and an Entomologist," 3 July 2018 Unfortunately, in both instances use of the simulacrum fries your brain in ways that prevent you from ever experiencing the real version again. — Antonio García Martínez, WIRED, "How Facebook Binds, and Shatters, Communities," 11 May 2018 Those jobs seem almost mythical today, so the best Jordan's character gets is a nonsensical, performative simulacrum of one. — Adi Robertson, The Verge, "HBO's Fahrenheit 451 turns a warning about media into a tirade against tech trends," 19 May 2018 In so many ways, the story of Keith Raniere is a fitting simulacrum for our post-truth world. — Amelia Harnish, refinery29.com, ""At This Point We Are In Despair": One Woman's Quest To Bring Her Brother Home From NXIVM," 29 June 2018

MyBit: A Decentralized Investment Platform that Brings Transparency to Building Transaction-Based Products via Blockchain
By: Adam West
Our experts and industry insiders blog the latest news, studies and current events from inside the credit card industry. Our articles follow strict editorial guidelines.
In a Nutshell: Tech investment opportunities have traditionally only been available through specialized funds managed by firms. But investor and crypto enthusiast Ian Worrall wanted to provide those opportunities to more people. So he founded MyBit, a decentralized investment ecosystem based on smart contracts and blockchain technology. MyBit enables direct and group investment in revenue-yielding IoT devices, while providing an exchange for buying, selling, and trading. Under its community-run governance system, MyBit empowers individuals to build the future of the blockchain-based investment market.
As an experienced investor, Ian Worrall was always looking for attractive alternative funds. He was an early investor in the cryptocurrency market, and he found what he believes to be the next big opportunity in the internet of things: automated technologies, machines, and the factories that build them.
But putting money into these promising technologies through traditional investment channels was more complicated than Ian believed it should be.
"The only way you can invest in those things is if you're an accredited investor and go through a specialized hedge fund. It defeats the mentality behind crypto of not giving somebody else your money and paying fees to have them manage it," he said.
In 2017, Ian realized there was a much more intuitive way to invest in automated technologies: smart contracts on the blockchain. Using smart contracts as the basis of trust and accountability, Ian and his team of industry veterans designed a decentralized, community-controlled investment ecosystem known as MyBit.
"We built a platform that lets you invest without going through a fund — or even a bank account. We plug the smart contract from Ethereum right into the technology," said Ian, who is also the company's CEO. "You can put your Ether into a share of a Bitcoin ATM or other robotic tech that generates constant revenue."
MyBit has designed a four-part investment ecosystem consisting of the MyBit token, blockchain technology, an active community, and a decentralized governance model. The company envisions becoming a place for individuals to freely collaborate in creating, benefiting from, and investing in technology projects that will shape the future of the connected economy.
Tokens Eliminate the Need for Venture Capital
Innovative technologies often require seed funding to turn ideas into products, and that typically comes through venture capital. But with venture capital comes outside investors — a situation Ian wanted to bypass.
"For what we were building — a decentralized application — we didn't want to have venture capitalists or activists as the shareholders to control it because it would defeat the whole point," he said.
So, the company created its own source of monetization with the MyBit (MYB) token.
On most traditional investment platforms, transaction fees for products and services return to the company and go to paying back investors. In the MyBit ecosystem, a small portion of MyBit tokens are eliminated every time someone uses a service or product.
"Since the total supply of MyBit is constantly reducing, it rewards people who have it. And we don't need to pull out revenue to pay back investors because it's a decentralized structure," Ian said.
Other companies that use this monetization model include Kyber, which MyBit looks to for its currency conversion technology.
"Right now in the crypto market, it's as if you'd have to first buy McDonald's tokens to buy something at McDonald's. The user is saying this is a nightmare," Ian said. "What Kyber is working on allows any token you own to automatically transfer into the token it needs to be. It works for person-to-person transactions, and it works on the application level, as well."
With Kyber integrated into the MyBit platform, users don't have to worry about where to buy MyBit tokens. They can spend the token they have, which automatically converts into MyBit and burns as it's used in the application.
Using this monetization model allows MyBit to offer people a trustworthy, yet hassle-free, way to invest in new technologies and is laying the foundation for more consumer trust in cryptocurrency.
"As more projects adopt this, it makes tokens usable and gives them value. A lot of people are skeptical about tokens right now, but I'm fairly positive this is the way forward," Ian said.
MyBit Go and MYDAX Enable Investing and Trading
The core project for MyBit has been its decentralized investment platform, MyBit Go, which allows individuals to list and invest in devices that connect to the Internet and generate revenue. Ian said Bitcoin ATM is a good example.
"You can have 10 people that funded and own 10% of it. Every time someone uses the ATM and pays a transaction fee, it gets split among all the investors instantly, in real time. You get all your revenue back, and it never touches any human hands," he said.
Users can also invest in other assets on MyBit Go, including Ethereum miners, smart co-working spaces, storage units, and even smart benches.
An accessible, collaborative investment structure was the initial vision for MyBit Go, but Ian and his team quickly realized it had the potential to act as a bond market for the crypto industry — something that's been missing and sorely needed. During the bull run of 2017, crypto investors — Ian included — had difficulty finding a stable, yet profitable and liquid way to store their capital.
MyBit Go makes tech investments more accessible and allows entrepreneurs to list their innovations.
"If you want to keep your money close to crypto, your best bet is a stable coin, which is the equivalent of putting it in dollars. It's good for getting out of the volatility, but it doesn't generate any yield," he said.
With MyBit Go, investors can store their Ether in a share of a Bitcoin ATM or other robotic — something relatively stable — while generating a much higher rate of return than a stable coin. When investors are ready to move their funds back into cryptocurrencies, these shares can be easily traded or sold through MyBit Go's decentralized exchange plug-in, MYDAX.
Anyone can use MYDAX to quickly and securely buy, sell, or trade intellectual property, digital content and media, and non-fungible tokens — or turn assets such as real estate, luxuries, shares, and financial products into token form.
Both MyBit Go and MYDAX give investors the freedom to quickly and easily convert their capital and assets into the form that best suits the current market and their personal needs.
A Community-Run Decentralized Autonomous Company
MyBit Go and MYDAX carry out Ian's vision of creating more inclusive investment services, but he also intended MyBit to be an investment and development ecosystem run by users, for users.
So, after researching community-run models, MyBit converted its governance structure into a Decentralized Autonomous Organization, or DAO, in May 2019. Under the DAO, no single person makes company decisions or owns the company's products. Instead, community members can propose policy changes or new features and then vote based on their MyBit token holdings. Decisions are carried out by curators, whom members vote in — or out — of leadership roles. In fact, Ian recently stepped down as CEO of MyBit after fully automating his role.
"Our vision is not us managing it anymore; it's going to be the DAO and the community who have full control over the application and how it evolves," Ian said.
Because MyBit is a DAO, the community can vote on policy changes based on their token holdings.
While it's too early to tell how it will develop, Ian anticipates the DAO will parallel democratic governments in countries such as the U.S. "Being community-run is like a political system. We're not going to have a direct democracy, where every person with a token is going to vote frequently. When the time comes to vote or make a difference, few show up. The structure will probably end up being most like delegated voting — you basically elect people to represent you and vote on your behalf."
As for the impact on himself as CEO and the founding team, Ian sees the restructure as beneficial to everyone.
When MyBit Go launches, MyBit will become the first blockchain project ever to release a product that's managed by a DAO. And while it might not make mainstream headlines, this marks a significant milestone for the decentralized financial ecosystem.
"Within the crypto space, it's very big news," Ian said.
Putting Accessible Blockchain Investment Solutions into the Hands of Consumers
Ian set out to create an easier way to invest in technology by cutting out the broker and hedge fund gatekeepers. But with MyBit, he created much more. In addition to its investment platform and exchange, MyBit has developed many other solutions — first to address functional gaps for its own products and the crypto industry, as a whole.
"Products are just starting to be built on Ethereum. We had to fill in the gaps and spent a lot of time building out different payment protocols and things that nobody else has done yet," he said. "But everything's starting to piece together now. The industry is sitting on a good base layer, and over the next few years, the amount of development and products is going to be huge."
Ian Worrall founded MyBit to help users invest in the latest tech innovations without going through a hedge fund or firm.
Ian anticipates that blockchain-based investments will start replacing — rather than integrating with — traditional options over the next decade.
"I think the new blockchain technology will start becoming an alternative to banks. People will just diversify their portfolio between blockchain-based assets and traditional ones," Ian said. "But blockchain is going to play a bigger role because it just makes sense — it's more efficient and more secure."
In the U.S., where the currency and banking system is stable and trustworthy, adoption of crypto investment alternatives has been slower than in other areas of the global financial market, but Ian said that even this will change in the coming years — and the most significant factor will be user-friendliness.
With that in mind, the MyBit ecosystem and its community model is setting the pace.
"We'll be one of the first projects to release actual products regular people can use," Ian said. "I see a lot of crypto projects headed this way — making things open-source and giving things away for the betterment of the world. There are still financial rewards for it. It's just a different economic structure."

Fans Can't Stop Joking About Ellie Goulding's Outfit for Her Halftime Performance
by Nicole Weaver twitter | More Articles: Celebrity
The halftime show of the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills Thanksgiving game is getting a lot of attention. That's because Ellie Goulding performed and she wore an outfit that is leading a few funny comparisons. Find out why fans can't stop joking about her outfit and more.

The Cowboys game has the tradition of working with the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign. The campaign collects donations for helping poor and homeless people during the holidays.
She shared a post about the organization on Instagram before her performance. It had a picture of her wearing a hair net and a Salvation Army apron.
A post shared by elliegoulding (@elliegoulding)
The songwriter captioned it with, "Ok so maybe hairnet not my strongest look but thank you @salvationarmyus for having us in New York. As you know, I have spent a lot of time in shelters in London, and this was my first time in NYC… The Salvation Army annually helps more than 23 million Americans overcome poverty, addiction and economic hardships through a range of social services."
The organization has been accused of being anti-LGBT. Goulding said she moved forward with performance after asking them to address this.
"Upon researching this, I have reached out to The Salvation Army and said that I would have no choice but to pull out unless they very quickly make a solid, committed pledge or donation to the LGBTQ community," she wrote according to Pop Culture. "I am a committed philanthropist as you probably know, and my heart has always been in helping the homeless, but supporting an anti-LGBTQ charity is clearly not something I would ever intentionally do. Thank you for drawing my attention to this."
She released a video teasing her performance
She also teased her performance with a fun video on Instagram. Goulding is from England so the video plays on the difference between the countries and their use of "football."
The singer is seen telling a man that she's going to perform at the Dallas Thanksgiving football. He's confused because she mentions it's American football, but by the end he's wearing a jersey with her name on it.
She captioned the post with, "Ok this is going to be LIT (can I say that when I'm 32) I'm excited to announce I'll be kicking off the @salvationarmyus Red Kettle Campaign at the @dallascowboys halftime show this Thanksgiving! I can also confirm that @the_kearnal_86 will hereby be launching his acting career. Tune in to CBS for the game and join us this holiday season in the #FightForGood."

The singer took the stage with what looked like a lampshade on her head. She also wore an outfit that was white on its left side and black on its right.
Many people weren't loving the look and couldn't help but compare it to other things. One of them was the famous lamp from A Christmas Story.
The singer has yet to address any of the reactions to her look. She did post a picture of the outfit on her Instagram with the caption, "Dallas, baby."

The Kakamigahara Aerospace Science Museum in Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture celebrated its 20th anniversary with a makeover!
Sorahaku, as it has been newly nicknamed, has always been a beloved attraction for aeronautics enthusiasts, space fans, and families. With its renovation, it has become Japan's largest aviation and space museum.
The building was expanded to 9,400 square meters, which is 1.7 times larger than before. Its first floor features an aeronautics area that displays and introduces 20 planes. The challenges faced by each aircraft and how aircraft technology advanced are all well-explained, so everything is easy to understand.

Please join us in helping underprivileged children have an amazing holiday!
At the end of August, we sent senior photographers Adam Wilde and Thomas Cook down south to High Point, North Carolina for a photo and video shoot at High Point Regional Hospital. What was supposed to be a routine location shoot began with a series of calamities we couldn't make up if we tried. Still, after the wacky and frightening road trip in the "sketchy" company van, our photographers had an incredible time working with the clients and producing some truly amazing work, thus proving that no matter the obstacle, we shall overcome!


Julie McAdoo, Co-founder of our Project Transition USA group, wins Finalist in the Tampa Bay Business Journal "2015 BusinessWoman of the Year Awards"!
Last night I had the incredible pleasure of watching Julie McAdoo walk on stage at the Tampa Hilton as a room full of hundreds of attendees applauded her success as an Entrepreneur!
It was a moment I will long remember!!

And especially for all our transitioning military members, because Julie helped create our Project Transition USA group on LinkedIN while she herself was transitioning from the Air Force, and in just 2-1/2 years has gone on to realize her dream of becoming a successful business owner.
Along with her retired USAF pilot husband Kevin McAdoo from MacDill Air Force Base (also a member of our group), Julie now owns and operates two Residential & Commercial cleaning companies in Tampa Bay — Office Pride & Refresh Your Nest. They already employ over 25 people, many of whom are former military!
MORE GREAT NEWS — Julie is currently hiring! So if you, or someone you know, are interested in joining a first-class, veteran-owned company in Tampa Bay, I encourage you to invite Julie to connect today and apply!
Please join me in congratulating our 'Project Transition USA' LinkedIN Group co-founder, Julie McAdoo, on this very important achievement by posting a heartfelt comment on our LinkedIN group discussion (click HERE to post).


There's a time and a place for a really involved recipe — and cooking with fresh, seasonal asparagus in springtime is not one of those times. It doesn't take much for a side of asparagus to shine. When in-season asparagus is simply roasted, steamed or grilled, its innate flavors are given the chance to come out without any distractions. In the spirit of loving asparagus in its truest state, each of these spring-focused recipes is as simple as it gets, using just eight ingredients at the very most.
After roasting in-season spears the old-fashioned way, toss with a vibrant vinaigrette to brighten it all up. Melissa d'Arabian's wholesome Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Vinaigrette gets a little zest from Dijon mustard and fresh lemon juice, and it can be served hot or cold for ultra-easy eating.
With just four ingredients on the roster, Ina Garten's Roasted Asparagus reins in more than 300 reviews and a five-star rating. Simply drizzle fresh asparagus with quality olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt, as well as freshly ground black pepper, and roast until tender but still crisp. Watch Ina Garten make it herself and you'll never have lackluster asparagus again.
Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles may look elegant enough for a dinner party, but Rachael Ray's recipe takes just 18 minutes and five ingredients. When the bacon-cloaked asparagus are set in the oven under high heat, the bacon crisps up as its saltiness permeates over the spears.
Making a casserole might sound intensive as far as "easy sides" go, but Trisha Yearwood's Asparagus Casserole is anything but. With just eight ingredients, including the asparagus, this comforting casserole comes to the table with a topping of cheese sauce, hard-boiled eggs and a saltine cracker crumb topping without taking longer than an hour.
When you add high-impact ingredients like Kalamata olives, fresh basil and garlic to a veggie side, you know there's going to be a quality flavor return. Food Network Kitchen's Sauteed Asparagus with Olives and Basil takes just 20 minutes from start to finish, and it'll vanish from the table in half the time, if that.


The Lake Washington Ship Canal flows into Puget Sound through the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks near Seattle's Ballard community.
Naturally, the highlight of going to the locks is to see a boat go through. This cruise was a tight fit in the small locks.

The 3 Things You Need for a Successful RPG | Bookmans
by Bookmans February 3, 2017
In Our Stores
For someone unfamiliar with the world of pen-and-paper RPGs the multitude of books and supplemental materials available can be daunting. This overwhelming feeling is what I believe keeps many people from ever trying to play an RPG. The truth is that you really need just a few things to get started with a game, so I've put together this super quick guide on the essentials needed to get you started.
1. Chose a Guide (Just One!)
Role Playing Games (RPG) are games designed to exactly what the genre says: put you in a role, and allow you to play out situations in that role. Most games start with character creation, where you get design and assume the role of a person/creature/robot that is ideally much stronger and cooler than regular old real you. You will be making decisions as your character for the extent of your adventure, so keep that in mind during the creation process.
Often the stories you play through are referred to as "campaigns" or "quests". Campaigns can be made up entirely by someone in your playgroup, or pulled from a handy-dandy guide. Back in the good old days, a somewhat creative person would have to come up with all the rules regulating combat and character progression which, as you can imagine, was very time consuming. Thankfully, today, the bajillion different guides each have their own rules (with some overlap here and there) so everything is laid out for you. This is the biggest reason you should get a guide. You really just need one guide to start, a core rulebook for whichever system you decide to give a shot. Maybe a small campaign guide too if you'd like. You can always collect more supplemental materials to expand your world if you enjoy yourself with the game you've chosen. Do you want to be an android-vampire with guns that shoot fireballs? There is probably a guide with systems that will help you accomplish that.
The great thing about enjoying a pen-and-paper RPG (as opposed to their video-game counterparts) is that ultimately you make all the rules. If you decide that the game is taking too long, or is too hard, just adjust the rules slightly to make things faster paced or simpler for you and your group. The most important thing is that everyone is having fun.
2. Roll Them Dice!
Though the characters, worlds, and combat systems may vary drastically from game-guide to game-guide, one thing remains constant. Dice. Very few pen-and-paper RPGs can function or be played without dice. Dice add the element of chance and chaos to just about every decision one can make inside of the game. This is what allows every game system to remain unique and dynamic. Most RPGs require more than just your average 6 sided die, so conveniently packaged sets are the way to go for anyone who is just getting into the hobby.
3. Grab Your Friends!
Perhaps the most essential ingredient for any good time (not just the RPG kind of good time), friends are absolutely crucial when playing RPGs. In a traditional RPG one person will need to assume the role of the "Game Master" or "Dungeon Master". The Game Master calls the shots, narrates your journey, and determines the obstacles, battles, and puzzles that your party will need to overcome along the way. Ideally you would have at least two people participating in the Game Master's story, fighting baddies and deciding how their characters react in the given situations.
If you're having trouble convincing your friends to play with you, then have them read this guide. Maybe their just feeling overwhelmed like I mentioned earlier. If after reading this they still aren't interested, then you should probably just get some new friends.
As always, Bookmans has everything you need to make sure you're on the right track with your initial RPG excursion. Just come in, ask any associate for help, and we'll get you set up and pointed in the right direction!

Why Appium Python does not provide some features?
Since Python is more popular when it comes to automation, I think this is strange.
To my understanding, Appium client(java/c#/python …) talks to the Appium server (over JSON/HTTP) and which intern interacts with the automation mechanism available on the device to do the actual work. So I am assuming server interface is common and any language should able to build a client which supports the full set of features. Am I missing something?


The voice of main character, Eddie Corazon was strong, confused, and angry but once he met Lupe, Eddie begins to awaken to what life can hold for him. Eddie still makes some bad mistakes and his humor is often biting but so is his life. He doesn't get along with his dad, has a major attitude, lives in a rundown area of New Mexico, and uses humor and sarcasm to describe his friends, teachers, school and just life in general. There are gangs, drug dealers, criminals that populate Eddie's world. But we find out pretty quick Eddie is a secret reader, he listens in class, and wants to be more than a "poor Mexican kid from a bad neighborhood" and with the help of Miss Beecher, a short-lived teacher in his school; Lupe a girl Eddie meets at dance class; Sgt Cabrera who sees something in Eddie and gives him a book to read after escorting her through his school, and finally getting arrested and sent to live with a trusted family friend, Eddie starts to get it....A book for reluctant readers, teens who enjoy urban fiction, and those who like romances, multicultural literature, this book will appeal to everyone---JUST read it!

If you have installed AutoCAD 2015, you should notice there is no more classic workspace. If you want to use the classic workspace, then you need to create the workspace by your own.
Let's see your options how to have this "classic" workspace in AutoCAD 2015.
If you have previous release of AutoCAD on your computer, you can migrate the settings. That would include your workspaces, which is saved in your CUI files.
The first time you start your AutoCAD 2015, you will see this migrate custom settings dialog box. In this example below I only activate CUI files and deactivate the rest.
If you've already seen this dialog box before and click cancel, don't worry. You can still access this tool from start menu. You can find it below AutoCAD 2015 folder> migrate custom settings. Click "Migrate From a Previous Release".
After you migrated the settings, then you will see the workspaces from AutoCAD 2014.
If you want to rename and delete workspaces you don't want, you can do it in CUI editor. Type CUI then enter. Right click above the workspace name to rename or delete it.
Another way to have the classic interface in AutoCAD 2015 is by creating your own workspace.
You can change the appearance by activate/deactivate workspace elements by typing in command line.
Type MENUBAR then enter. Enter value 1 then enter again.
It's easier to show one toolbar then choose other toolbars by right clicking above it.
Type –TOOLBAR then enter (notice the – prefix).
Type DRAW to show draw toolbar, enter. We always show draw toolbar, don't we?
Type S to show it, enter.
Now you will see draw toolbar. Right click above the toolbar to choose other toolbar to show.
Show all necessary toolbars and arrange them as you wish. After you finish, click workspace button at status bar. Click "save current as…" and give this new workspace a name.
Do you use classic toolbar?
I stopped using classic interface since the first time it was introduced in Revit. I see how other Autodesk software has fully implemented ribbon without options to use "classic" interface. AutoCAD is the only one that still has it. New users are easily comfortable with ribbon. So I encourage myself to use it. Honestly, it's not that bad. I use command line most of the time anyway.
So I thought the toolbar will be gone soon or later. So I better get used to ribbon soon.
Autodesk removed the classic workspace maybe means nothing. Because we can still create it anyway. Or maybe, this is a sign?
Do you use toolbar? What do you think if Autodesk removed toolbar from AutoCAD?
the discussion what is quicker is boring.
I'm non smoking.and I do not need extra break maybe you do. What I'm trying to say is: There are many thinks thats happened during the day that waste your time. And this amoung of time is big enough to compensate every slowly works in AutoCAD or other software.
Do not worry, it really does not matter. So use what you want but please don't talk about faster and quicker work.
