I am really not inspired to write and interesting, funny intro, so I am just going to jump straight to my recap. Hope you'll like it, and here it goes.
On Monday, we got new Transform make up collection.
Even like it seems like new, unique collection on the first look, when you look closely, you will see it is kinda redundant. I mean, we've had shades similar to those before, and with the prices of this store, I am not really fan of buying from it. No offense. Even though I have a nice amount of make up, I only use a handful of items regularly. Specifically, ones from Kat Von D Sephora collection, or just Sephora. Besides, blue blush would seem like your doll is freezing - now when I think this way, it could be used nicely for Halloween outfits. Or something like that.
On Wednesday, you know - Callie's Picks, collection named 'Tokyo Calling'.
Inspired by Tokyo street style, collection brings back colorful, cute, unusual items. Even I used to be fan of the style, I sold many of my pieces I had that got re-released. It makes me think though, I get upset when item I paid a lot gets re-released. But what about pieces I sold for many stardollars get re-released? I am guessing the buyer must be upset, but it is a game after all, and no one should take it too seriously. You win some, lose some, kinda like in real life. Anyway, I probably won't be buying anything from the collection, it is either I have some items already, or just not liking the style.
On Thursday, yet another store went on going away sale for selected floors.
And on Friday, finally something I really liked - new Limited Edition collection!
The collection is mostly really good. The first thing that caught my eye was, of course, that adorable cat. Also, there was a nice shirt, few dresses and some accessories. I was lucky enough to have just enough stardollars to buy everything I liked, aside from some pieces. I am loving the sparkles on clothes, they can give a glam look on your doll. Many were expecting new Young Hollywood collection inspired by Met Gala, but honestly, how many formal dresses your doll really needs?
That's all for now. I am really looking forward to the following week, but before that, vote, comment, and see you soon.


Lot 26 of 283: Huge All World Collection in 10 Large 64 Page Stockbooks - Very extensive collection with a good spread of countries and vast quantity. Some duplication but much variety. Probably over 35,000 stamps. Noted some interest in Commonwealth, China and Russia.

Celebrity Athletes in Ancient Greece: Go Hard or Go Home(r)
Posted on 23rd June 2021 23rd June 2021 by Antigone in Greek Literature, History, Material Culture, The Classical Tradition
Michael Plowden-Roberts
One of the most significant cultural events for Greeks, and in due course the world, has been the Olympic Games. Held every four years, and now including nations from six continents rather than just Greek city-states and their colonies, the modern Olympic Games has become much the most recognisable multisport competition in the world.
The grave of de Coubertin, Lausanne, Switzerland: the Latin motto per orbem et saecula means "across the world and across the ages".
The Olympics we are familiar with were conceived in 1896 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863 –1937) as a recreation of the ancient games held at the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia. Acting as one of the four 'Crown Games' (the others being the Pythian Games at Delphi, Nemean Games at the sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea, and the Isthmian Games at the sanctuary of Poseidon on the Isthmus of Corinth), the Ancient Olympia even in their own time were seen as the ultimate sports festival. Victory in the games meant glory, wealth and status. The arrival this summer of the belated Japan 2020 Olympics gives us an opportunity to revisit the athletic superstars who ruled the arena some 2,500 years ago.
Ancient and modern: Greek stamps marking the advent of the 1896 Olympic Games.
Celebrity might seem like a relatively modern concept, something that has developed over the last 200 years or so, but the celebrities of ancient Greece sound very much like today's: rich, endlessly talked about, and often scandal-ridden. Celebrities of the Archaic Age (8th–6th century BC) were almost exclusively athletes who represented their home city-states at the Panhellenic Games in sports including Wrestling, Chariot Racing, Boxing, Pentathlon, Dolichus (a middle-distance race of 4,800 metres), Stadion (a 200-yard sprint event, from which we get the word 'Stadium' for the venue that hosted it) and Pankration (a combination of boxing and wrestling, similar to MMA today). These festivals enjoyed immense popularity by the 6th century BC: the games even continued during wartime (even during the Persian invasion of the Greek mainland in 480 BC!). By the 2nd Century BC, the stadium in Olympia, located in the Peloponnese, reached a capacity of 45,000 – some 12,000 seats bigger than the City of Coventry stadium, one of the host venues for the Football event at the 2012 Olympics in Great Britain.
A pankration pressure-hold: the 'Pancrastinae', a Roman marble copy of a 3rd-century BC Greek original (Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy).
To demonstrate the glory that could be enjoyed by those skilled enough to win in their respective events, let's follow the career of Milo of Croton (modern-day Crotone in southern Italy). Five time winner of the Boy's Wrestling category in the Olympics, of seven Crowns at the Pythian Games, of ten at the Isthmian Games, and of nine at the Nemean Games, Milo has been heralded as the most successful athlete of his time, with a career spanning perhaps twenty-five years at the top flight of Greek wrestling. His achievements earned him the title of Periodonikēs, an ancient equivalent of a 'grand slam', meaning that he won all four games at least once, something only a very select few would accomplish.
Milo of Croton splits a tree-trunk, Edme Dumont, 1768 (Louvre Museum, Paris, France).
Milo's status as a celebrity outside the stadium is remarkable in and of itself: there are many stories of his public exploits, from dining with the philosopher Pythagoras, to acting as military leader of Croton in a war against the neighbouring city of Sybaris. In that instance, the mere sight of Milo (who liked to wear his athletic crowns in battle) was enough to scare off the Sybarites:
When the Sybarites advanced against them with 300,000 men, the Crotoniates opposed them with 100,000 under the command of Milo the athlete, who by reason of his great physical strength was the first to put to flight his adversaries. (Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 12.9.5)
Ancient Greek boxers decorate an Attic black-figure neck-amphora, c. 520 BC (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA).
Milo was also something of an ancient Harry Houdini, famous for his crowd-pleasing feats of strength: his tours de force – or at least the tall stories told about him – included lifting bulls (and then eating them in one sitting); holding a pomegranate so firmly that no one could take it from him; snapping bands fastened round his head by swelling his veins; and subsisting (allegedly) on a daily diet of 10 litres of wine, 9kg of meat and 9kg of bread.[1]When reading these stories of Milo we must keep in mind that many of the stories about his life and exploits come from later sources, such as Aristotle, Athenaeus and Pausanias. By contrast, very few contemporary sources exist for Milo, so his life has become bound up in myth and metaphor. Milo has survived into modern popular culture in various paintings and sculptures, spurred on by literary citations in Shakespeare, Dumas, Emily Brontë and beyond. In the end, Milo's final Olympiad, his seventh, was his undoing: he was beaten by a young wrestler and admirer named Timasitheus, who had watched many of his fights and learnt how to counter him – by keeping the veteran wrestler at arm's length until he was weakened by exhaustion. Even worse was to follow, if we are to believe Pausanias: when passing a tree-stump that had been wedged open, Milo tried to prize the tree apart into two. The wedges slipped, his hand was trapped, and soon enough he was eaten alive by wolves – or, to later artists wanting a better image, by a lion.
Milo of Croton, Charles Meynier, 1795 (Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, Canada).
Milo's final opponent Timasitheus was probably trained from an early age: as today, training was rigorous for those deemed to have potential for the highest level of athletics. Dieticians, fitness trainers, coaches, managers and isolated communities were commonplace. Plato keenly promoted athletics for the training of young men; when sketching his utopian city in the Republic he made attending the gymnasium a civic duty of all citizens. Athletes who trained from a young age included Diagoras of Rhodes – a boxer who, like Milo, achieved the title of periodonikēs and (rather more remarkably) was believed to be the son of Heracles.[2]Diagoras is depicted in the painting at the top of this article, carried aloft by his sons (Auguste Vinchon, 1814, École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, France). Two-time winner of the Olympic Games, four-time winner of the Isthmian Games, two-time winner of the Nemean Games, and winner at least once of the Pythian Games, Diagoras left a legacy not merely of his own victories, but also of his children's. All three of his sons were Olympic champions: his eldest, Damagetus, twice won the Pankration in 452 and 448 BC; his second, Acusilaus, won the boxing in 448. His youngest, Dorieus, would prove to be even more successful (and notorious) than his brothers, winning three Olympic crowns, four Pythian, eight Isthmian and seven Nemean. But his ultimate undoing came through his role in an anti-Athenian faction in Rhodes that led to his execution.

The fact that the scandalous conduct of many athletes is recorded by later Greek and Roman historians no doubt helped shape the negative view of athleticism in later antiquity and the middle ages. Galen deemed athletes to be charlatans engaged in a useless profession, echoing Euripides, who claimed in a lost satyr play that "A thousand evils afflict Greece, and none worse than the race of athletes."[3]κακῶν γὰρ ὄντων μυρίων καθ᾿ Ἑλλάδα / οὐδὲν κάκιόν ἐστιν ἀθλητῶν γένους (Euripides Autolycus fr. 282.1-2, cited by Galen, Exhortation to the Study of the Arts, especially Medicine 10; the same passage was also cited by Athenaeus 10.413c). Athletics was presumed to be for ruffians like Cleomedes of Astypalaia, widely known for dirty tactics in fights and general ignorance of the rules: this man was particularly notorious for hitting the fighter Iccus of Epidaurus so hard that his rib cage split and thus killing him.
Wrestlers take their position: Greek marble relief of the pentathlon, c. 500 BC.
Many philosophers, poets and politicians – including Tyrtaeus, Solon, Xenophanes, Euripides and Aristotle – argued that the importance of athletics had been inflated: it would be far better for the resources spent on continuing the games to be used instead to advance wisdom and learning. Galen argued that athletics was a useless profession, and that those who excelled at sport should use their talents for something actually useful, such as military exploits. Doubtless there was an undercurrent of jealousy among these intellectuals about the immense prizes awarded to athletes. It certainly wouldn't be anything new for rivalry to emerge between those interested in pursuits of the mind and popular athletic 'jocks' or 'jarheads'.
The 'Terme Boxer', or 'Boxer at Rest', a Hellenistic Greek bronze sculpture, 4th to 2nd centuries BC (discovered in 1885 at the Baths of Constantine on Rome's Quirinal Hill and now in the National Roman Museum, Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, Rome, Italy).
Yet this 'brains versus brawn' dichotomy was not so black and white. Socrates and the orator Isocrates both saw how strength and knowledge could complement one another. After all, the great Milo was outsmarted, not outmuscled in his final fight. And the philosopher Plato, when not meditating on the nature of the universe, had enjoyed some success as a proficient wrestler. In fact, his Greek name Platon was a nickname meaning something like "Mr Broad Shoulders", a term coined by his wrestling coach. The majority of Greeks did favour athletics, keeping these events flourishing for more than a millennium. They only vanished at the end of the 4th century AD, in 394, when the Olympic Games were finally banned by Theodosius I, along with other pagan festivals.
The 'Discobulus Lancellotti', a 2nd-cent. AD copy of a Greek original (National Roman Museum, Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, Rome, Italy).
Just as many today find their heroes in sport among those representing their country or local team, many in the ancient world found theirs among the competitors at the great games. Representations of mortals in Ancient Greece predominantly feature these athletes: examples include countless statues to athletes such as Theagenes and Milo, alongside celebrated archetypes such as the Charioteer of Delphi and the Discobolus. not only were these men seen as the aesthetic ideal by many, but they would have also been the most easily recognisable humans to contemporary Greeks. So when we look for physical, mortal representations of Ancient Greeks, we will usually be met by athletes.

L'Oreal, Nestle score big at Alibaba's Singles' Day shopping fest
The Chinese e-commerce giant's annual Singles' Day shopping blitz on Monday brought in a record 268.4 billion yuan ($38.38 billion) in sales, more than six times the amount of online sales made in the United States on Black Friday last year.
Alibaba said on Tuesday that 299 brands surpassed 100 million yuan in gross merchandise value, among them smartphone makers Huawei Technologies and Apple (AAPL.O), LVMH's (LVMH.PA) Givenchy, home appliance makers Dyson and Philips (PHG.AS) and sportswear makers Nike (NKE.N) and Under Armour (UAA.N).
Sales growth for the annual shopping festival this year eased to 26%, the weakest since the event started in 2009, in a reflection of how e-commerce sales in China have been slowing.
"What's happened is that you've had a lot of consumers this year being a little bit more careful about their purchasing because the economy's slowing down," said Ben Cavender, managing director of consultancy China Market Research Group.
Liu Xingliang, internet analyst at DCCI Data Center, who was among guests invited to Alibaba's headquarters on the day of the event, said the firm's efforts to reach smaller, lower-tier cities with real bargains played a significant role.
"I saw them selling electronic tooth brushes at 9.9 yuan ($1.42), and 65-inch TV sets at 1,800 yuan ($257.36). People in lower-tier cities and towns can afford these products and in fact, they like big TVs more than city people, because they usually have larger houses."

ADRIATICA IONICA RACE aims to be the bridge between east and west, the past and the future, between humans and the Environment...
The race with its departure from Vento will end initially in the autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia...
The Adriatica Ionica Race wants to be the bridge between east and west, the past and the future, the Environment and humanity. It wants to rediscover and promote territories, beginning from the north east of Italy and passing through the eastern countries bordering the Adriatic and Ionian seas, exploring it through racing and tourism. This race intends to take us on a journey on two wheels, passing through ancient roads and learning about the history of the inhabitants and the great civilizations of yesterday.
Adriatica-Ionica Race it is not just a cycling race, it is also a promotional platform for the heterogeneous lands of this region where many local values and traditions have not yet been entirely explored. This initiative aims to be a new way of organizing a cycling competition, through a modern and dynamic format. By means of a variety of competitions that meet todays needs: individual time trial, team time trial, night race, in line race with the inclusion of unmade roads and spectacular uphill arrivals, the race is a cocktail of emotions in which every ingredient is perfectly balanced. We want to rediscover an ancient route, reopen cultural boundaries while imagining the Adriatic and Ionian seas as great bridges between civilizations.

Your Blog » Alcoholism Is Affected By Both Genetic And Environmenta
Previous: Onset Of Alcohol Withdrawal Typically Begins 6-- 24 Hou
Next: Binge Drinking, What is it?
Alcoholism is affected by both environmental and genetic elements. Oddly, disorders have a higher tendency for alcoholism in this condition than women.
People with lowered inhibitions are at an even greater risk for turning into alcoholics. The 2 basic attributes for turning into addict ed to alcohol stem from having an immediate relative who is an alcoholic and having a high-risk disposition. drinking with a high-risk character is one where she or he has reduced inhibitions and flourishes on taking chances in most all situations. If an individual emerges from a family group with one or more alcoholics and prefers to take risks, they should acknowledge that they are at what is viewed as elevated risk for turning into an alcoholic.
Current studies have determined that genetics performs an essential function in the development of alcohol addiction but the precise genes or hereditary pathways to dependency have not been found. At this time, it is believed that the familial predilection toward alcohol addiction in an individual does not ensure that she or he will definitely turn into an alcoholic but instead just indicates that those people feel the results of the alcohol more powerfully and quickly. In result, the determination of familial risk is just a decision of higher chance towards the addiction and not always an indication of future alcohol addiction.
There was a gene discovered in 1990 called the DRD2 gene. This is the very first gene that has been shown to have any link towards influencing the outcome of [http://hamannpalm9.blogocial.com/It-is-Most-likely-an-Intolerance-Not-a-Real-Allergy-To-Alcohol-6628949 alcoholism ] in people. Once more, thinking about the way this particular gene works, the person with the DRD2 gene would be thought to have a greater pull towards the effects of alcohol compared to somebody without the gene but having DRD2 does not ensure alcohol addiction in the individual.
The pressing desire to spot a gene accountable for alcoholism is due in part to the pressing need to assist identify people who are at high chance when they are kids. If dependence can be discovered at an early age and children raised to comprehend that taking that first drink for them could very likely convey them down the road to alcohol addiction, it might cut down on the number of alcoholics in the future.

Regardless of an inherited predisposition towards alcohol addiction, it is still a conscious decision to select to drink and to get drunk. It has been said that the individual with the inherited predisposition to alcohol addiction is an alcoholic at birth whether or not he or she ever takes a drink.
The latest academic works have ascertained that genetic makeup performs a crucial role in the development of alcohol addiction but the specific genes or hereditary pathways to dependency have not been found. At this time, it is believed that the inherited predilection toward alcoholism in a person does not guarantee that he or she will develop into an alcoholic but instead simply implies that those people feel the effects of the alcohol more powerfully and quickly. Once again, thinking of the way this specific gene works, the person with the DRD2 gene would be believed to have a higher pull for the effects of alcohol compared to somebody without the gene but having DRD2 does not guarantee alcoholism in the individual.
The pressing desire to find a gene responsible for alcohol addiction is due in part to the pressing need to assist discover individuals who are at high risk when they are adolescents.


Maybe I am weird. But I like work. I like the smell of gas, oil, and exhaust. I felt privileged to use my dad's lawn mower and gas-powered weed eater. I loved the way the yard looked when the grass had that manicured look by the fence and around the trees. I was proud when I took my dad outside and showed him how I mowed perfectly geometric lines across the yard. He was pleased with my work. That meant everything to me. He always gave me a few bucks to spend afterward. That was a great Saturday.
What my friend didn't know was that I didn't get to see my dad very often. My parents were divorced and my dad's job moved him 1,000 miles away. Since I lived without a father, I was excited to be with him in his house. And he never hid that he was happy to have me with him. I didn't have to mow the grass. I got to mow the grass. The work was all a bonus. It was one the benefits of being with my dad.
Because of your faith in Jesus, you don't have to work to get God to accept you. But God has work He wants to share with you—a gospel project. He has a role made specifically for you and tasks to move His project forward. This is work you get to do.
God's Spirit is at work in you as you do His work. Sometimes the beginning of the work is small and seemingly insignificant, but a bigger job is around the corner. According to the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14–30, there's a place God wants to promote you to. Be faithful, do the work well, and watch how God uses you in the future. Your participation in the work now holds a place of greater responsibility for you in the future. That's both a hope and a promise.

Q: How different are types X and X in structure/union? Consider the following code:
struct blah {
    int x;
    int y;
};

struct foo {
    union {
        struct {
            struct blah *b;
        };
    };
};

int main()
{
    struct foo f;
    struct blah *b;

    // Warning on below assignment
    b = &f.b;
    return 0;
}

Why does GCC generate an assignment from incompatible pointer type warning, despite both LHS and RHS being of the same type (apparently)? IOW, what changes when struct blah is nested inside struct foo?
If there's a valid caveat here, what is it?

A: b = &f.b; tries to assign a blah** to b.  Use b = f.b; instead

A: struct blah {
    int x;
    int y;
};

struct foo {
    union {
        struct {
            struct blah b;
        };
    };
};

You are referencing b which is already a pointer.

Russell Davies on TORCHWOOD
July 26, 2010 July 28, 2010 Tom Powers
SFX is featuring an interview with creator/producer Russell T. Davies on the upcoming BBC / Starz co-production of TORCHWOOD.
Davies assured readers that the new international version of TORCHWOOD will reamin true to the often dark and adult-oriented DOCTOR WHO spin-off, though this season will be largely set in America and countries other than the UK.
"For faithful viewers you'll see the same people in the same world, following on. Though it also starts from scratch, because there's a brand new Starz audience there sitting waiting to be scooped up, new viewers coming to it.
But I restarted DOCTOR WHO in 2005 from scratch, so I know what I'm doing. I did it with Children Of Earth, actually—that practically tripled TORCHWOOD's audience, and no one said to me that they were lost.
So it's a new starting point and yet… as a faithful viewer you do get that awful feeling when something reboots or revamps that you're not comfortable anymore, and there's none of that. It's still Gwen, it's still Jack, and hopefully more. You'll feel very comfortable with it.
And there's great new American characters coming into it. Bear in mind, of course, Captain Jack, he's American as well, so it doesn't seem quite as alien, I think, as if you suddenly introduced American characters into Emmerdale (a long-running rural soap opera or something!"
Davies has written the first episode, and may possibly write others, though he says he's happy being primarily the showrunner.

India Inc expresses disappointment over weak GDP data
New Delhi | Published: August 31, 2017 8:37:48 PM
India Inc today expressed disappointment over the country's economic growth, which slipped to a three-year low of 5.7 per cent in April-June.
Assocham suggested that policymakers should take urgent steps to revive private investments. (Reuters)
India Inc today expressed disappointment over the country's economic growth, which slipped to a three-year low of 5.7 per cent in April-June. Industry chamber PHDCCI said ease of doing business remains a major concern as manufacturing firms, particularly labour intensive units, are impacted by various stringent laws and compliance costs. "Going ahead, the breakthrough in GST should also be followed by reforms in labour laws such as a single uniform labour law across the country," PHDCCI President Gopal Jiwarajka said in a statement.
Growth of India's real GDP at 5.7 per cent in the first quarter is "disappointing" as the industry was in anticipation of rebound from low growth in the last quarter of 2016-17, he added. He also stressed that there is a need to focus on reforms to improve the ease of doing business scenario, particularly for MSMEs, in order to encourage setting up of more industries.
Assocham suggested that policymakers should take urgent steps to revive private investments.
The chamber cautioned the government that further downward risks to the growth still prevail in the form of rising crude oil prices due to the Gulf crisis and inventory drawdown in the US that will have its adverse effects on current account deficit and exchange rate. "Continuous fall in fixed investments, unsolved problem of bank's NPAs, global policy and political risks, tightening financial conditions on account of deleveraging financial institutions and slowdown in real estate could weigh negatively," it added.
India's GDP growth dropped to a three-year low of 5.7 per cent during April-June as manufacturing slowed ahead of the launch of GST and the impact of demonetisation lingered on.
Crisil's D K Joshi too said the GDP number is "disappointing" as the expectation was that the growth would be 6.5 per cent. Former chief statistician Pranab Sen said it was expected that the first quarter GDP would be weak because of GST.

I did very little this weekend, since I actually had a weekend this time around. Saturday I read a lot and slept and played Baseball Mogul, Sunday I got up early and did some laundry, went to church, read a lot, caught up with a couple of old friends I hadn't talked to in a little while, and I ran Disk Administrator on my Duron-750, the system bluescreened, and now nothing can read the drive and I'm hacked off that I'm going to miss a chance to watch Greg Maddux make a run at 300 wins, Pedro Martinez make a run at Walter Johnson's old strikeout record (Nolan Ryan was still a long way away), and Mark McGwire make a run at Hank Aaron's 755 career home runs.
Church scared me. Much of the service reminded me of Pepper and Friends, a really corny children's TV show in Columbia, Mo. Haven't seen Pepper and Friends? Be glad. Be very, very glad. Imagine Richard Simmons, but even more hyperactive, riling up bunches of kids. Ugh. And now I know what the traditionalists are scared of. As long as it's just once a year, at the end of Vacation Bible School, I'm fine with it, but now I understand the fear of bubblegum, substance-less church services.
Ouch. Aimee Mann said that in an interview, years ago, and I just had to write that one down for the wall. She knows a little bit about bad relationships because she was in several of them.
Besides frustrating the girl, we end up investing far too much emotionally in her, and when she fails to meet our expectations–remember, we've just spent a good deal of time making her into someone else who exists only in our very vivid imaginations, so it is a matter of when–we fall hard.
So my advice to him was to spend some time with her, now. That way instead of imagining things about her, he's learning what she's really like–because, after all, that sweet, innocent-looking thing could be an axe murderer for all he knows–and he's giving her a chance to figure out what, if anything, she wants. Otherwise she just has to guess–and since the guy is usually expected to make the first move, she can afford to be cautious. Am I the only one who's noticed girls are a whole lot more likely to say no than guys are?
I think most girls at least suspect we're mercenaries like that; none have ever seemed terribly shocked when I've admitted we have the ability. They live with it; they have deep, dark secrets too.
Enough waxing philosophical about life. I'm a fixer, not a philosopher. I'll try to fix something today–a machine, not a person–and tell you all about it tomorrow.
The build up in a relationship by either party for the object of their affection is commonly called infatuation although many people even more commonly (alas) call it LOVE.
True love can only exist after the downfall of infatuation. Hopefully, both parties will have enough in common to be best friends (another requirement of true life long spousal type love)and realize that the pursuit of mislabeled infatuation is a fool's game.
Well, tha't my opinion based on my experience, anyway!
If only my husband could believe your comments. I've been trying to tell him he's infatuated for the last year. He has ruined mine and probably his own life because an infatuation.


This blog is about the rebuild of my house on Menno St. My former wife, Kathleen McSpurren and I who sadly passed away from cancer in 2013, had dreamed of rebuilding our little home to something new one day. Unfortunately, that was not to happen for us. I waited a few years until I was ready and finally in October of 2015, I decided to commit to doing it on my own.
The blog picks up the day I demolished the old house. It was quite an effort to get to that point. More like a controlled stagger, than a meticulously executed plan, but I got there. The title refers to the feeling of pushing a giant boulder up to the top of a hill. Going up, I felt in control of the boulder. Pushing it, stopping, pushing it some more, resting. Demo day is when I crested over the hill and let er rip!

Q: Optimize function for finding a nested property in an object? I made the following function which traverses an object recursively  and tries to find if a property exists in that object. If it does, it returns that property and null if it is not found:
export const findNestedPropertyInObject = (sourceObject: any, targetKey: string) => {
  let results: any;
  const maxIterations = 100;
  let currentIteration = 0;
  const searchInObject = (obj: any, targetKey: string) => {
    const keys = obj.length ? [] : Object.keys(obj);
    if (keys && keys.length) {
      if (keys.includes(targetKey)) {
        results = obj[targetKey];
        return;
      } else {
        keys.forEach((key: string) => {
          if (currentIteration >= maxIterations) {
            return;
          }
          currentIteration++;
          searchInObject(obj[key], targetKey);
        });
      }
    }
  };

  searchInObject(sourceObject, targetKey);
  return results;
};

this is the sample object:
const aggregations = {
  most_used_skills: {
    doc_count: 388,
    skill: {
      doc_count_error_upper_bound: 10,
      sum_other_doc_count: 325,
      buckets: [
        {
          key: 'C++ Programming Language',
          doc_count: 15,
        },
        {
          key: 'Javascript',
          doc_count: 14,
        },
        {
          key: 'ExtJS',
          doc_count: 12,
        },
        {
          key: 'Amazon Web Services',
          doc_count: 11,
        },
        {
          key: 'Android',
          doc_count: 11,
        },
      ],
    },
  },
};

this is how i am invoking it:
console.log(findNestedPropertyInObject(aggregations, 'buckets'));

My question is that, how can i optimize this method? What safety checks can i add to this to make it more fault tolerant and robust?

A: export const findNestedPropertyInObject = (sourceObject: any, targetKey: string) => {
let results: any;
const maxIterations = 100;
let currentIteration = 0;
const searchInObject = (obj: any, targetKey: string) => {

    const keys = (obj.length)? obj : Object.keys(obj); // if obj is object get keys as an array
    if ( currentIteration < maxIterations && typeof keys === 'object') // checking if it actually an Array (js treat array as object type)
    {
        if (keys.includes(targetKey))
        {
            results = obj[targetKey];
            currentIteration = maxIterations; // to stop recursive calling
            return; //optional
        }
        else
        {
            keys.forEach((key: any) => {
            currentIteration++;
            const innerkeys = (obj[key])? obj[key] : key; // to check if 'key' is key of object or object itself
            searchInObject(innerkeys, targetKey);
            });
        }
    }
};

searchInObject(sourceObject, targetKey);
return results
};

USG Reworks Poison Pill to Save Tax Break
The more potent poison pill is an effort to protect the company's net operating loss carryforwards and other tax benefits.
Stephen TaubDecember 5, 2008
In an effort to protect its accumulated tax benefits, USG Corp. has made it far easier for someone acquiring stock in the company to trigger its "poison pill" plan.
The building-products company already had in place a shareholder rights plan — that is, a poison pill — designed to deter any person or group from acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 15 percent of its common stock. Under its newly announced plan, USG has temporarily reduced that threshold from 15 percent to 4.99 percent.
Poison pills typically make it much more expensive for hostile acquirers to obtain stock above a specified threshold without board approval. Historically, this threshold has typically been closer to 15 percent or 20 percent.
USG explained that it lowered the threshold in an effort to protect the value of its net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and related tax benefits. "The NOLs are a valuable asset of USG," said company chairman and CEO William C. Foote. "We are taking this step in an effort to maximize our ability to offset income that we expect to generate in future years."
USG's ability to use its NOLs could be substantially reduced if it experiences an "ownership change" under the Internal Revenue Code. Indeed, if a corporation undergoes an ownership change, the IRS limits the amount of income that NOLs can offset in any year after the change — regardless of how much income a company earns.
The calculation of an ownership change under the code is based on cumulative ownership changes in USG's stock by stockholders that own, or are deemed to own, 5 percent or more of USG's common stock, over a rolling three-year period. If the company's poison pill threshold remained the same, it could trigger a technical ownership team under Section 382 of the tax code.
The new lower threshold is in effect only until September 30, 2009, at which point it will return to 15 percent. That's because USG experienced a significant change in the ownership of its common stock in connection with its August 2006 rights offering. After the third anniversary of the completion of the offering in August 2009, the risks of an ownership change under the code diminish because the rights offering purchases would no longer be included in the IRS ownership change calculations. The rights plan amendment also exempts stockholders whose current beneficial ownership exceeds 4.99 percent, as long as they do not acquire any additional shares of common stock.
USG conceded that the rights plan amendment will not ensure that the NOLs will be protected from an ownership change as defined in the tax laws, and said there can be no assurance that such an ownership change will not occur.
Interest in poison pills has plummeted among American companies during the past half-decade or so, with many allowing their shareholder rights plans to expire. In the face of a sagging stock market and a struggling economy, however, fears about becoming acquisition targets have made some more open to popping pills.
In fact, smaller companies are displaying a renewed taste for deploying poison pills as a defense against takeovers, merger mavens think. In mid-September, CFO.com reported that 40 U.S. companies had adopted new poison pills for the first time, according to figures supplied by FactSet SharkRepellent, which tracks poison-pill trends. In all of 2007, 42 companies adopted poison pills.
Termination rates — which exclude the natural expiration of poison pills — are also leveling off this year. As of mid-September, 15 companies had acted to terminate their poison pill plans, compared with 20 in 2007, 30 in 2006, and 41 in 2005.

I often work with physicians, many of whom refer to me their child, adolescent and young adult patients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, family problems or other issues.
In working with physicians, I realized resources are essential for them to be able to understand what a patient may be experiencing when they present with behavior that is considered unusual or when parent's ask about behavior that is unusual.
With that in mind, I am developing a series of Physician Fact Sheets to help the physician understand the psychology of the behavior seen.

Q: Passing parameters to a javascript callback function I've been trying to work out how to pass additional parameters to a javascript callback function.
In similar posts users have succeeded using anonymous function (these are new to me so I may have been doing them wrong) but I just can't get them to fire.
The below is what I have now, I need to be able to pass the itemId to the function "ajaxCheck_Callback" as well as the response.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for the help.
function delete(itemId)
{
  selectpage.ajaxCheck(itemId, ajaxCheck_Callback);
}

Function ajaxCheck_Callback(response)

{
  alert(response);
  alert(itemId);
}

Thanks for the help guys. I now get undefined on my alert whereas previously this was alerting correctly.
function delete(itemId)
{
  selectpage.ajaxCheck(itemid, function () {ajaxCheck_Callback(itemid); });
}

function ajaxCheck_Callback(response)

{
  alert(response);
  alert(itemId);
}

A: Create an anonymous function, which calls your callback, and supplies the needed parameter.
function deleteItemById(itemId)
{
  selectpage.ajaxCheck(itemId, function() { ajaxCheck_Callback(itemId); });
}

The anonymous function will create a closure over itemId, and therefore will still have access to this value even after the original call to delete has long since ended.
For completeness, also note that delete is a reserved word in JavaScript; you need to name this function something else.

A: As your question mentions, you can do it using an anonymous function:
function deleteItem(itemId)
{
  selectpage.ajaxCheck(itemId, function ()
  {
      ajaxCheck_Callback(itemId);
  });
}

// Note, lowercase 'f' in 'function'
function ajaxCheck_Callback(response)
{
  alert(response);
}

It can also be done using a named function, which you might find more readable:
function deleteItem(itemId)
{
    function onAjaxCheck()
    {
        ajaxCheck_Callback(itemId);
    }

  selectpage.ajaxCheck(itemId, onAjaxCheck);
}

N.B. as @Xeon06 points out, delete is a reserved word, so that is not a valid function name.

A: The way is usually done is to use an anonymous function.
function deleteItem(itemId) {
    selectpage.ajaxCheck(itemId, function() { ajaxcheck_Callback(itemId); });
}

function ajaxCheck_Callback(response)
{
    alert(response);
}

Careful with your syntax, there are some errors in there. The function keyword has a lower-case f and you can't have a function named delete, that's a reserved keyword.


Before we get into the nitty-gritty workings of the coined conveyor-belt-like concept of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), it's important to understand what they are and what they can offer.
CI/CD are fundamentals of a DevOps workflow. InfoWorld defines CI as a set of practices that drive development teams to implement small changes and check in code to version control repositories frequently. This practice helps development teams integrate and validate code changes.
InfoWorld outlines continuous delivery (CD) that automates the delivery of applications to selected infrastructure environments. It picks up where continuous integration leaves off and performs the necessary service calls to web servers, databases, and the like that may need to perform an action in order for the application to deploy properly.
Organizations that are implementing CI/CD methodologies on cloud environments are increasing their use of containers ― another buzzword these days. Why? High-performing organizations are adopting containerization solutions to address bottlenecks and inefficiencies in their product development and maintenance pipeline. To ensure long-term success, containerization implementation must be developed within the context of an organization's technology, operational, and organizational ecosystem.
Many DevOps practitioners are using the conveyor belt analogy when explaining continuous integration and continuous deployment methodologies. However, to implement effectively, developers must fine-tune the deployment methods to ensure a seamless, automated strategy.
Compared to a conveyor belt, CI/CD is actually more flexible. Consider a case where a developer needs to change a process to improve efficiency or reduce error. It wouldn't be as difficult to deploy the change compared to the roadblocks that you'd run into when trying to implement a change to an assembly line. Just imagine the reengineering that you'd have to do to make one small change, like speeding up the belt speed. It becomes a little more challenging, but in the CI/CD case, it's much easier.
Have you ever counted how many software applications your company has?
According to a recent report by SkyHigh, a medium-sized company has over 85 software applications to keep the business running. Even more alarming, they found that a company with 50,000+ employees have roughly 788 software applications running. Can you image being responsible for managing and deploying code and ensuring that the code from one app talks to the 787 remaining apps?
Management and developers are feeling the pressure. What if one of those apps drives 90 percent of your sales and there's a code malfunction and the app keeps crashing? It's as if the conveyor belt has a jam and production came to a complete halt.
Many companies have custom applications specific to their audience. For instance, a retailer might have an application specific to their customers, where users could view inventory, make purchases and even ask questions about sizing or product specifications via a chatbot. But they might also have an internal application that's used by folks on the floor selling or supply managers. And, wait, they might also have an application that their human resources department heads up that acts as a portal for all things employee relations ― such as requesting time off, viewing a work schedule, a benefits manager, and the list goes on.
With CI/CD, the brains behind the app architecture can easily perform code updates, when (not if) there's a need. This might save you from a million frustrated customers, if for example, they were mid-checkout for an expiring coupon code and the app crashed. Or, it could save you from a few hundred upset employees if say their PTO requests didn't process due to an integration mishap.
Improves time-to-market while reducing downtime: Organizations of all industries and sizes find that continuous integration and continuous deployments allow them to build/update custom applications much faster. Developers can split tests and build processes over various machines.
Your continuous integration and version control systems can communicate with one another and can even identify code variation, dramatically reducing the time it takes to review and approve changes before deployment.
Improves quality: There's far less room for error because CI/CD is a methodology that allows developers to work on smaller amounts of code at a time. Not only that, but they are less likely updating the same code, meaning they won't have to perform a code merge.
Find what works and repeat: With pressures to stay ahead of the competition through engaging digital experiences, when you find a suit that fits, rinse, wash and repeat. With CI/CD, your developers can sleep soundly knowing that once they build a repeatable process, it's tested before it's deployed.
Before you implement a CI/CD strategy, there are a couple things to bear in mind. First, work forward not backward. Automating processes in the wrong order will only cause more issues ― and work ― down the road.
Just as important, have metrics in place so you can keep track of progress and success of an implementation. This ties back to the third benefit above because without a measurement to see what's working, you can't implement the repeat process to other areas.
There's no surprise that C-level executives are turning their focus to the heavy-hitting benefits of CI/CD because it improves time-to-market, reduces downtime, improves quality and can be easily replicated for other application projects.

Q: calling one python script from another python script with arguments stored in a string I am trying to call a Python script from another. I am using the subprocess-module and calling it like this:
subprocess.call(["python","script.py","parameter_name parameter_value"], shell=False)

The thing is when I call it this way it works fine for a single parameter. When I have multiple parameters I tried running it this way
subprocess.call(["python","script.py","parameter_one_name parameter_one_value", "parameter_two_name parameter_two_value"], shell=False)

This does not work for some reason and the script does not give out any error message as well. So, I tried doing this
os.system("python script.py parameter_one_name parameter_one_value parameter_two_name parameter_two_value)

This works and the script works as expected. The question I have is is it possible to call the script when the parameters are stored in a string?
For example,
parameter = parameter_one_name parameter_one_value+parameter_two_name parameter_two_value)

execute script with parameter
I could not find anything so far on SO, so it would be a great help if anyone could help.

A: You should be passing each parameter's value as a separate item in the list:
subprocess.call(["python","script.py","parameter_one_name","parameter_one_value", "parameter_two_name","parameter_two_value"], shell=False)

If needed, you can compose your parameter list from smaller lists:
param1 = ["parameter_one_name", "parameter_one_value"]
param2 = ["parameter_two_name", "parameter_two_value"]
subprocess.call(["python","script.py"] + param1 + param2, shell=False)

I have no idea how exactly your scenario works when you call it with a single parameter + value in a string; it shouldn't, but without seeing the actual values you're passing, it's impossible to tell.

A: If parameters are in a dictionary d:
import sys
import subprocess

params = [x for pair in d.items() if all(pair) for x in pair]
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, 'script.py'] + params)


So tell me, have I defined my customer correctly?
What is the purpose of a muse?
Then what is the difference between a muse and a customer?
Who can afford the collection you are creating?
How much of their income do they spend on their clothing?
A celebrity is a real person, so why can't they be my customer?
So if they are both equally important, your customer and your muse, how exactly can you tell if you have defined both?
Is my customer or my muse driving my inspiration?

Q: Lombok @SuperBuilder hide parent fields I have the following classes
The first level of hierarchy:
abstract class Parent2 {

    private P2_Param1 p2_param1;
    private P2_Param2 p2_param2;

    protected Parent2(P1_Param1 p1_param1) {
        p2_param1 = p1_param1.something()
        p2_param2 = p1_param1.somethingElse()
    }
}

Second level:
abstract class Parent1 extends Parent2 {

    private P1_Param1 p1_param1;

    protected Parent1(P1_Param1 p1_param1) {
        super(p1_param1);
        this.p1_param1 = p1_param1;
    }
}

And hundreds of classes that look like this:
class Child extends Parent1 {

    private C_Param1 c_param1;
    private C_Param2 c_param2;
    private C_Param3 c_param3;
    private C_Param4 c_param4;
    // ... many more parameters here

    public Child(P1_Param1 p1_param1) {
        super(p1_param1);
    }
}

These classes were used like this for a long time - child fields were used only to represent schema.
Now things changed and Child fields need to hold values.
I'd like to create as few changes in ChildX classes as possible and avoid implementing constructors that take all child parameters + p1_param1.
Ideally, it'd be great to use Lombok annotations or add some code in the parent classes.
I was thinking about instantiating the child class as it was before and using toBuilder = true to copy and fill values:
var child = new Child(p1_param1)
        .toBuilder()
        .c_param1(c_param1)
        .build();

I tried to use the @SuperBuilder(toBuilder = true) annotation, but now I have an access to fill fields from parent classes (e.g. p2_param2) and I would like to avoid that.
Is my approach valid? Can I somehow make the parent fields not accessible via public child builder methods?

A: I found a solution to my question:
The answer is to use the Delombok option and then remove all methods from the generated (@SuperBuilder) parents' builders.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida -- While searching through boxes of his recently deceased grandmother, a Massachusetts man discovered close-up photos of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred on January 28, 1986.
"My grandfather's brother had a team that worked on the Crawler, which is the giant machine that slowly moves the shuttle from the shuttle bay out to the launch pad," Michael Hinds told KTAR. "On that crew was a gentleman who they became friends with and it was this gentleman who ended up taking these pictures."

CHORAL FUSION Double Choir Series
St Ann's Church Dawson St Dublin 2 Ireland (map)
Dun Laoghaire Choral Society and Galway Baroque Singers present the second concert in their CHORAL FUSION series, a series of double-choir music concerts that are being performed in Dublin and Galway between November 2016 and March 2018.
After the magnificent choruses of Handel's Solomon in the first CHORAL FUSION concert, this time the choirs turn to Lully (1632-1687) and Purcell.
Lully's Te Deum is his best-known sacred work, first performed at Fontainebleau just outside Paris on 9th September, 1677. The Te Deum calls for high pomp and considerable resources. Contemporary reports speak of the large forces (as many as 300 musicians, including chorus, orchestra, trumpets and drums) assembled to perform the work, even at the beginning of the eighteenth century. The success of the Te Deum is almost unique in the history of seventeenth century sacred music. Lully's Miserere mei Deus is another of his most famous motets, large-scale multi-movement works, structured in double-choir format with strings divided into six parts.
Purcell's 'My heart is inditing of a good matter' was specially composed for the coronation of King James II on April 23rd 1685. It's a large-scale composition that uses four-part strings, eight-part choir and eight soloists.
The two choirs, Dun Laoghaire Choral Society and Galway Baroque Singers will be joined by eight soloists for this performance: Mihaela Loredana Chirvase, Rory Costello, Rory Dunne, Ciaran Fennelly, Grainne Logue, Martha O'Brien, Kevin Neville and John McKeown. The choirs will accompanied by the exciting young orchestra that is Fishamble Sinfonia.
David Brophy conducts.
Tickets are available here and at the door. They cost €20 and €15 for students.

FCC Fines HobbyKing Nearly $3 Million for Marketing Unauthorized Drone Transmitters
Jul 29, 2020 drone, fcc, HobbyKing
The FCC fined HobbyKing $2,861,128 for marketing drone transmitters that do not comply with FCC licensing rules.
The website markets devices that provide a video link between transmitters mounted on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and users flying drones. An FCC investigation found that dozens of devices marketed by the company transmitted in unauthorized radio frequency bands and, in some cases, operated at excessive transmission power levels.
Radio frequency-emitting devices that can operate outside of radio frequency bands designated for amateur use must obtain FCC certification. The FCC's investigation found that 65 models of devices could operate outside those bands — in addition to using designated amateur radio bands — yet the devices were not certified by the commission. Such unlawful transmissions could interfere with key government and public-safety services like aviation systems and weather radar systems.
Following complaints to the FCC, the commission's Enforcement Bureau opened an investigation into the company's marketing of radio frequency devices to American consumers. In response to these complaints, the FCC issued a formal citation to warn the company that it must comply with these requirements. Following further complaints, the commission ordered the company to provide information on its marketing of AV transmitters, but HobbyKing provided no further response, as required by law, the commission said. The Commission thus proposed the fine in 2018 and adopted it today. If HobbyKing does not pay the fine within 30 days, this matter will be referred to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for collection.

Moon Landing initiative brings neurodiversity to NFTs and supports art non-profits
A blend of contemporary popular culture, nostalgia, and empowerment will be the main themes of the NFT exhibit.
Nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, are certificates of ownership representing digital artwork, music, videos, audio, memorabilia, and more. They have rapidly gained in popularity over the past year for their ability to enable everyday artists to create and sell content. In fact, OpenSea, the world's biggest NFT marketplace, recently surpassed $1.6 billion in monthly trading volume alone.
Like physical artwork, NFTs can also be auctioned for charity purposes or donated to non-profit groups with generous tax deductions. From funding the construction of a school in Uganda, to helping frontline healthcare workers, non-profit NFTs drops can play a decisive role in making a positive societal difference.
In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Lisa Slominski and Nick Dehadray, co-founders of Moon Landing, a new initiative for neurodiversity in the NFT space, discussed their upcoming NFT auction supporting contemporary artists with intellectual disabilities and the non-profit studio they work from. The key theme of the pieces is that of pop culture and nostalgia, intertwined with moments of struggle and perseverance from the artists' everyday lives. The collection is called NFToons, which can be previewed now and available for public auction starting in January 2022.
Cointelegraph: Please tell me, who are some of the artists behind your NFT project?
Lisa Slominski: Sure, so the first project is NFToons, which is eight artists who are working with Project Onward, which is a non-profit in Chicago that supports artists with varying intellectual disabilities and social needs. Out of these eight artists, one of them is this wonderful artist named Ruby Bradford. And I've curated exhibitions with her before, and her practice is based a lot around Superman and cats, associating both of those with caring and belonging. So for NFToons, we really took one of her iconic paintings of Superman as a cat, and then animated it, moving it off the screen, and she actually sings the soundtrack to the .mp4 NFT, where she is doing a cat rendition of the Superman-themed song. So that is one example.
Another artist is named Louis Demarco. And actually, I got one of his drawings back there as well (pointing to an artwork on the mantle behind her). But he makes really interesting works that are called "Words to live by". He makes a lot of tech space work based on mantras he tells himself. What he also did is develop his own screenplay like in a band. So he developed a concept for a TV show called 'Toasters,' and it's his own mash-up of "Friends" and "Cheers." So he's created a pilot episode which we will promote on Twitter and Instagram, so anyone can watch. His NFT is his drawing of the set of two of the characters' apartments. And he also made his own soundtrack to the TV show. So that's the audio on that one.
CT: So, reading the press release. Apparently, a portion of the proceeds will be given to charity; which organization will that be?
LS: The charity is their studio. All of these artists work at a day art studio, The Project Onward. Project Onward is a non-profit 501(c) (3) [Legal U.S. federal income tax-exempt non-profit entity] charity in Chicago that supports these artists with disabilities. So 80% of the sales will go back into that studio and to the artists. Moon Landing plans for each project to be a collaboration with a non-profit studio that supports artists with disability. Where we work with their artists creating NFTs and the proceeds go to the artists and studios. Our second project will be with the studio Arts Project Australia, Melbourne.
CT: So what inspired you guys, in particular, to work with these artists in helping to tell their story?
LS: Sure, so I've sort of worked in the larger field of neurodiversity contemporary art for three years. And I used to work solely in contemporary art, and I worked for an organization here in London, which is called Museum of Everything, and they look at what a lot of people refer to as "outsider art," which is a problematic term, but, it often includes some kind of artists with disabilities, artists that are self-taught, artists from marginalized positions. Anyway, after coming out of there and starting to work on my sort of independent project, I really found I was exposed to some artists through those positions that had disabilities. I just found the artwork to be absolutely incredible coming out of these studios.
And I started thinking to myself, they are just contemporary artists, even though they have disabilities. They are just young, contemporary artists, so I started incorporating them into exhibitions that I was curating. I've written some articles about them for Artsy. But, specifically, these studios, so internationally, there are probably 30 to 50 different versions of these non-profit studios that create professional development and creative environments for artists with varying social needs and disabilities to develop a creative practice. And I connected with Nick a few years ago now; he did some promotional animations for some of the exhibitions that I was curating, and then, yeah. So sort of leaning on that, I realized with his interest in NFTs and creative diversity and my interest, it would be a great opportunity to do something interesting and meaningful in the NFT space.
Nick Dehadray: Yeah, I think what I saw was really the way the NFT space was supporting self-taught artists and that it was a really strong community around that, and still is. So I thought it really fit into this type of work, of neurodiverse artists teaching themselves and creating art for the enjoyment of others. So it seems to really make sense that NFTs could be a really great space for them to sell it, whereas I think in the contemporary art market, they don't really set these prices that high. So they might get a better chance from making their work in the NFT space.
CT: More of a technical question; with Ethereum gas prices being very high, it can cost hundreds of dollars to mint an NFT. Will you guys be providing financial support for artists as they go through the auction?
ND: Well, we are going to go through it as an auction via OpenSea. So the minting will be done by the people purchasing, and we will be doing it on Ethereum for this one, but we have also considered other currencies like Polygon, where there are no gas fees on lightspeed. But at the moment, Ethereum still has a bigger share of uses. So it seems to make sense to go with that one at the moment.
LS: Yea, we are working directly with the studios who are handling all that stuff ahead of time.
CT: Would you guys like to include a mission statement about your work?
LS: Yea, so just a couple of things following up on Nick's point. There are some parallels, I mean diversity in general, in the contemporary art sphere is a struggle, and neurodiversity is a new one. And there are discussions at the moment about, like I went to talk last night, that was called 'Can We Be Artists?', and it was talking about neurodiverse artists carving out a perspective space in the art world. So I do think the NFT space has this opportunity to democratize things and create direct access from creators to the audience. It has great potential and can really elevate a lot of artists that may otherwise find access points into the art world difficult, which I find quite interesting. And then, you know, we are trying to elevate these artists, elevate these non-profits. We know that people in the NFT space are asking about diversity, about neurodiversity. But connecting to them is difficult.
ND: Yea, this is one of the difficulties we are having. Because there are big influencers out there, such as gmoney, they are putting out comments saying we need more diversity in the space. But we are not visible at the moment because we just started out. But we'll try messaging gmoney, but he doesn't reply.
LS: So yeah, that's sort of it really. Obviously, the hope is that NFToons is the initial project. Then, Moon Landing would continue this initiative. So, we have two other supportive studios that we already have in mind to do further projects with the same interest working with the non-profits to support artists with disabilities, letting them create unique NFTs. And putting them out for the artists and the non-profits.
ND: And it's a quite good way of introducing them to [inaudible] that they might not be able to work with. For example, we were looking at one artist, Terry Williams from Art Project Australia, who's done these sculptures of astronauts. But we can 3-D scan those, and with 3-D scanning, we can turn that into an NFT. And we might not be able to do that otherwise. So there are really good opportunities to empower artists to use technology they otherwise wouldn't consider using or have access to.
