For example, if I have a languages list, I want to have a selected options with text "Select language". It's should not be selected as well, in order for validates:presence of the field to work.

Q: how to get rid of beamer "navigation toolbar" The latex file is defined as follows
\documentclass[center]{beamer}
\mode<presentation> {
\usetheme{Madrid}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
}
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty

Obviously I have tried the existing solution to remove the navigation toolbar, but in the full screen mode, the toolbar still exists. I don't want the beamer shows the total number of slides. How can I remove it?

As a follow-up, I found out some past posts to deal with this problem, and now it works:)
\documentclass[center]{beamer}

\usetheme{Madrid}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}

%   no page number/total number of slides
\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor~~\beamer@ifempty{\insertshortinstitute}{}{(\insertshortinstitute)}
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{date in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
%    \insertframenumber{} / \inserttotalframenumber\hspace*{2ex} % DELETED
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
\makeatother

Basically, first I have to redefine footline by commenting out the "insert frame number", then I need to remove the "presentation" mode wrapping the madrid theme. Without either step, it won't work.

I just found out that on my mac, the above modification still won't work if I click the "full screen" from "edit". The simple solution is actually to enter the full screen by using the keyboard -- "command+shift+L". That will do even without the above modifications.

On October 16th, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU will kick off their anticipated North American headlining tour in Phoenix, Arizona. The journey will make its way through over two dozen cities upon its conclusion November 17th in San Diego, California. Support will be provided by Arizona rock unit Rotting Yellow, Illinois-based post-industrial sorcerer Steve Hauschildt, renowned New York cellist Clarice Jensen, and Oregon post-rock ensemble This Patch Of Sky on select dates. The tour follows the release of the band's eagerly-awaited fifth studio full-length, set to drop September 28th, via Dark Operative. More info on the record will be revealed in the coming weeks. See all confirmed dates below.
Formed in the early '00s, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU has spent the last decade and a half touring the planet relentlessly between recording studio albums and core members Jeremy Galindo and Chris King scoring various films, television, culinary, and other creative entertainment projects in their relative downtime.
The band initially broke in the United Kingdom when their 2006 debut album Young Mountain was proclaimed "Album Of The Year" in Rock Sound by (then) editor Darren Taylor, igniting curiosity, interest, and touring opportunities unimaginable to that point.
2008's self-titled album ushered in an era where the band truly grew a global fanbase, as the record remains their top-grossing title to date and the band was able to graduate to headliner status in large venues everywhere. Toward the end of the album's initial cycle, Hollywood and the entertainment world at large came calling in a major way, largely sparked by Brad Pitt and director Bennett Miller's passionate enthusiasm for the band. The duo initially paired THIS WILL DESTROY YOU's "The Mighty Rio Grande" to five crucial acts in 2011's Moneyball, with Villa Del Refugio then going into Pitt's subsequent World War Z and Miller's next film Foxcatcher. The licensing landscape exploded from there, as the band and the first two albums were represented across all major sporting events (Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, Wimbledon, ESPYS, et al), cultural shifts (the UFC's rollout package for Ronda Rousey), Hollywood's biggest night (see: Tom Cruise introducing the nominees and awarding "Best Picture" over "The Mighty Rio Grande" at the 2012 Oscars), and numerous Emmy-award winning dramas on television.
2011 saw a change in rhythm section and an experiment in the darker capacities of the band. Tunnel Blanket features the most raw and visceral material in the band's catalog. The band stayed on the road (including a meaningful run in direct support of Deftones), issued a triple live album (2013's Live In Reykjavik, Iceland), and began formulating what would become 2014's Another Language album, an exemplar of the band and producer John Congleton's studio prowess.
From 2016-2018, the band was able to successfully stage special tenth anniversary shows and tours celebrating Young Mountain and self-titled at high-capacity, sold out gigs around the globe, punctuated by being hand-picked by The Cure to perform in front of tens of thousands at the band's fortieth anniversary concert in London's historic Hyde Park. On the front end of that cycle, Galindo and King also managed to successfully pull off writing and recording the ambitious score to the most talked-about new restaurant of 2018, Los Angeles, California's Vespertine.


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of news industry leaders is banding together to develop an advanced open-source publishing and revenue-generating platform for news organizations. The effort is designed to address some of the persistent obstacles to creating economically sustainable models for journalism, particularly at the local level.
Automattic, the parent company of WordPress.com, and its partners Spirited Media and News Revenue Hub, have secured $2.4 million in funding for the first year of the project, which will be developed on WordPress.com's cloud-based platform and incorporate many of the best practices in digital publishing.
"Local news organizations are struggling to find sustainable models for journalism -- a crisis that has very real implications for democracy," said Kinsey Wilson, President of WordPress.com and a former senior executive at NPR and The New York Times. "We're joining with industry leaders to bring technology, publishing and business expertise together in a single platform that can be shared by news organizations across the globe."
"Local newsrooms face many obvious challenges, but we do see new examples of success," said Jim Albrecht, director of news ecosystem products at Google. "Unfortunately, the innovation in technology, editorial focus, and monetization necessary to achieve this success lies beyond the reach of many small organizations. By funding Newspack, we hope to extend the best practices of these market leaders to local publishers generally."
ConsenSys, one of the world's largest blockchain organizations, will be a financial sponsor for the project. The new publishing platform will include a native plugin for Civil, a ConsenSys formation. This will allow any interested newsroom using the platform to easily join Civil's community-owned and operated journalism network and/or permanently archive content in decentralized, tamper-proof storage environments.
WordPress.com helps millions of people create websites for small business, publishing, and blogging. We host sites for some of the biggest brands and publishers in the world -- including Microsoft, News Corp. and CNN -- and our users publish more than 87 million new posts every month. WordPress.com is a product of Automattic, Inc., a fully distributed company with more than 800 employees working from 69 countries. For more, visit automattic.com.
The Google News Initiative (GNI), is Google's effort to help journalism thrive in the digital age and signifies a major milestone in the company's 15-year commitment to the news industry. The GNI brings together everything we do in collaboration with the industry—across products, partnerships, and programs—to help build a stronger future for news. The GNI will fuel these efforts with a $300m commitment focused on three objectives: elevate and strengthen quality journalism; evolve business models to drive sustainable growth; and empower news organizations through technological innovation.
The Lenfest Institute for Journalism is a nonprofit organization devoted to sustaining and advancing local journalism. The Institute was founded in 2016 by cable television entrepreneur H.F. (Gerry) Lenfest when he gifted both an endowment and sole ownership of the Philadelphia Media Network (The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, and philly.com) to the Institute. These news properties serve as a live lab for the Institute's investments in innovative news initiatives, new technology and sustainable business models for local news in Philadelphia and across the country.

BPOs gearing up for impact of artificial intelligence on industry
By Nand Kishor |Email | May 16, 2017 | 7308 Views
The Philippine business process outsourcing (BPO) industry is gearing up for the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the industry.
Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) chairman Lito Tayag acknowledged that AI presents to new challenges to the industry as automation may wipe out lower-end jobs.
Tayag said that they are now working to provide workers who may be affected with new skill sets.
"We are working closely with industry academe and government in terms of preparing our skill or pool of talent for the next set of skill," Tayag said in an interview with ANC's Market Edge with Cathy Yang.
He added that the industry is also looking to move up the value chain, which is less likely to be affected by automation.
"We should be familiar and develop more skills with cloud, analytics and mobile applications. We should be more conversant with new terms like agile and liquid workforce," he continued.
Besides developments in AI and automation, Tayag said the industry is also closely watching the regulatory impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's protectionist policies.
But so far, Tayag said, there is no indication that protectionism has cost the industry jobs.
"Well we have seen or heard feedback related to this but at the end of the day we have not seen actual statistics that will say we have slowed down," Tayag said.
He is also confident they will achieve their employment target by 2022.
"We have articulated this in our roadmap 2022. We want to bring this industry to 1.8 million people in 6 years, making us one of the biggest job suppliers in the country together with other multiplier effect in real estate, transportation, and food," Tayag said.
The industry expects to hit $40 billion in annual revenues by 2022. Read More

Man Falsely Accused Of Sexual Assault Awarded $1.8 Million In Damages
A former Maine resident who was falsely accused of rape has been awarded an additional $1.8 million in damages, the second award he has received over the ordeal in the past six months.
Vladek Filler was accused 12 years ago of repeatedly sexually assaulting his wife, Ligia, as the couple was divorcing and bitterly fighting for custody of their children. When Vladek told Ligia he would take their two sons with him and move to Georgia to be near his mother, she began making accusations against him.
The University of Michigan's National Registry of Exonerations (NRE) said that Ligia became angry after Vladek's suggestion, and "ran into the street from the family home holding one of the boys, yelling that she wanted to kill her husband for molesting and abusing their children and that she feared he would kill their 12-year-old son."
Vladek was "found guilty of one count of gross sexual assault and two counts of misdemeanor assault," even though social services determined there was no evidence of child abuse and a physician testified there were no signs of sexual abuse. His attorneys argued for a new trial, and in 2011, he was found guilty for one count of misdemeanor assault and sentenced to 21 days in jail.
He filed a complaint with the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar, alleging the prosecutor in his case had acted improperly by withholding exculpatory evidence.
Vladek was exonerated in 2015 and filed a federal lawsuit against more than a dozen defendants, including a nurse who told his wife to cry when testifying to "seem real." In Sept. 2018, nearly three years after he filed his lawsuit, Vladek settled his lawsuit with all but one of the defendants for $375,000.
At the time, the claims against the nurse were still pending, but now a senior U.S. district judge in Maine has ordered Linda Gleason to pay Vladek $1.77 million in damages, according to the Bangor Daily News. Gleason is the registered nurse who testified against Vladek at two trials and is a friend of his ex-wife's.
Judge John Woodcock wrote in his ruling that Gleason is "extremely culpable" in Vladek's wrongful conviction, having testified against him and advised his wife how to make the false allegations seem more believable.
"She has not come clean even to this day," Woodcock wrote. "Ms. Gleason did not merely set a ball in motion and watch it roll. She continued to push it, testifying falsely as a witness, adding to her credibility by calling on her professionalism as a nurse. She must have known that he had been wrongfully convicted on two occasions and yet, she never told the truth."
Further, according to court documents reviewed by the News, Woodcock compared Vladek's "horrendous" experience to that of the protagonist in Franz Kafka's "The Trial," a book often cited when talking about the lack of due process in court cases.
"Mr. Filler endured a living nightmare," Woodcock wrote. "Falsely accused by his then-wife and her friend of committing heinous crimes, he was wrongfully charged, tried and convicted of those charges, and it took him eight years to be fully exonerated. Mr. Filler's experience is no one's idea of justice in this state or country."
The News reported that Gleason appears to be representing herself.
"The surreal nightmare my family and I were put through has been devastating," Vladek said in response to the judgement, according to the News. "From day one, and throughout both criminal trials, the truth was available to the officials involved, but they ignored and suppressed the truth, and deliberately kept it from the eyes and ears of the jury."

TLD Portfolio
TLD Launch Calendar
Rob Rozicki on .SKI, the tipping point and what he learned over the last year
I interviewed Rob Rozicki one year ago on the blog, and now he's back! Rob and his team at Starting Dot will finally launch the new TLD (top level domain) .SKI on 8th Sept. with an initial Sunrise phase for trademark holders from 1st July. Personally I think it will be a blockbuster. In this new interview he predicts the tipping point of the new TLDs, explains what he learned over the last year having launched two extensions and why .SKI will be massive
1) It's been one year since we last talked.
In the meantime we all got wiser on the new TLDs. You have launched two of them; .bio and .archi. What are the lessons learned? How do you see the general market for the new TLDs?
That's a great question. The learning curve since launching .archi and .bio has been very steep, and we've learnt a lot in a very short space of time. I think, the main thing we've taken away is that you need to be 100% committed to the communities where your TLD provides most value. Just opening the registry does not guarantee success. You have to interact, educate and nurture both customers and our partner channels. For customers its education, real world examples and showing them the potential of a great name. For our partner channels its about educating and getting them excited about the potential size of the customer base, so that they want to proactively promote the TLD. For our live TLDs the market is growing at a pace we expected. Our TLDs are premium TLDs and we've been pleased to see that .archi and .bio customers have really high usage rates for names (Currently .bio has 11.000 registrations and .archi 2.000). There are lots of great sites in both TLDs which is helping spread awareness and creating great opportunities.
There are many great examples of .archi websites. We've got some of the world's biggest architecture firms like John Portman & Associates using portman.archi all the way down to local firms like PoMo Architekture based in Paris using pomo.archi.
The organic world in Europe has really embraced .bio and we see great sites coming online everyday. Innovative companies like Smartfood in Italy are using smartfood.bio to really differentiate themselves in the market. Wecoffee.bio is an artisan laboratory of coffee and ideas who really encapsulate the .bio community philosophy.
Pricing strategies and promotions have been an interesting experience for us. We've had mixed success with varying promotions, but ultimately we think that our TLDs provide the most value for registrants and return for our partners when priced at a premium TLD level. In Q1 we (StartingDot) launched the "PREMIUM TLD 50", ranking of the world's top 50 premium generic top-level Internet domains (gTLDs) which measures the performance of the largest premium generic suffixes by total number of domain names registered. It tracks the performance of gTLDs with an average retail fee over US$40. .Bio is at number 5 with an average retail price of $66 USD, which shows that a good pricing strategy and community engagement can be successful. I see the general market for TLDs and premium TLDs as becoming very strong. I envisage that we'll drop the term "new" from new gTLDs and just become part of the system by the end of this year.
I think what you'll see in the registrar market - as the pace of launches drops off - is that registrars will start to identifying TLDs that match their strategies and business goals and partner with registries on targeted campaigns and promotions. Registries that have a good understanding and access to those verticals will be really attractive to registrars, and price will become less of an issue. For registries who directly market to the verticals their TLDs represent its really important that they focus on the value their TLD brings to people as part of an overall web presence. Along with that we should promote value adds like web presence builders and others services directly to verticals as packages rather than siloed products.
2) Can you let us in on your marketing strategy for .SKI?
Which pitfalls and winning formulas from other registries have you seen to be avoided and implemented?
I can't let you into all of our strategies as we have some big news and surprises to announce soon. As you've probably seen over the last three years .SKI has been constantly active and investing in marketing to ski and snow sports members, and we're going to keep doing that but at a much higher intensity. We believe that .SKI is a great tool for brands (endemic and non-endemic), business and individuals involved in ski and snow sports and we're going to be right where they live, work and play in the 2015/16 season. You'll see .SKI and our partners at resorts, competitions, trade shows, on athletes and even on the chair lifts showing people how they can use their .SKI web addresses. The term "ski" resonates with anyone that is passionate about it, and ski and snow sports are at an amazing convergence point right between the outdoors and technology. People's ability to capture, upload and share content on mountains has never been greater. We believe .SKI can play a huge part in enabling a community thats over 115 million people strong to share their adventures with the web. I think its fair to say that the guys at .club have been doing some amazing work in marketing their TLD.
If we can come close to that we'll be very successful but I think each TLD needs to do things that works for their verticals. There is no one size fits all marketing strategy for TLDs and I don't think that you can sit back and wait for the "rising tide to lift all boats" aphorism to come true because thats just lazy and in reality it won't. We're firm believers that we control our own success and our marketing will reflect that.
3) We have some clients in the ski industry. What is the way forward, if they want to get a generic .SKI domain such as heli.SKI, downhill.SKI or telemark.SKI?
We've literally had thousands of requests for premium names like heli.SKI and powder.SKI. There are some amazing uses people want to put these names too and we have a founders program people can apply to. However if your clients are interested in just purchasing the names, we have a premium names list that relatively to other registries is very small. If the name is on that, it will either go to auction or be priced very competitively. We want people to use every single .SKI for a great reason, so we're not making it prohibitive or complex to get a premium .SKI name.
4) You mentioned earlier that you see the general market of new TLDs to become stronger? Which are the factors, and do you see a tipping point?
The factors that will grow these TLDs are a combination of great marketing by registries, partnership with registrars, resellers and community organizations as well as adoption by the verticals. With .SKI we started working on these elements long before we had a launch date. For the last three years and especially during ski season we have been very visible in the ski and snow sports community. Last year a survey asking people if they had heard of the .ski domain showed that 60% knew that there were plans for a .SKI. For something that didn't exist thats pretty good brand awareness.With regards to partnerships with registrars, resellers and community channels we've been overwhelmed with the interest coming in to date for .SKI. Registrars are proactively reaching out to us for the first time to understand our plans, and enquiring how they can be part of our community marketing. In the ski and snow sports community especially from media companies we're seeing lots of traction for partnerships.We also predict high levels of adoption for .ski, because we've worked hard showing people the potential of a great .SKI names whether you are an athlete, resort, brand, business of skier. Very soon after launch you'll see high profile community members switch to .SKI. People will realize that to get good ski and snowsports content, then they have to visit a .SKI, and this will encourage them to think of a .SKI domain, when they are ready to start or update their web presence.I think the tipping point is close and will come 12 to 24 months after the bulk of the launches have happened.
I predict that registrars, resellers and web presence companies will begin intensively looking for new customers in specific verticals, basically following the money. Those registries who have done their home work, are able to show partners a high return and provide the opening for them to reach those new customers will see the bulk of registrar interest.
Thanks Rob and good luck with the launch!

* Author(s): Halvard Skogsrud (@halvards)
* Design Shepherd: \<skaffold-core-team-member\>
* Date: 2022-09-26
* Status: Draft
* go/skaffold-ko-devmode

## tl;dr

Make Go development on a Kubernetes cluster feel as fast and responsive as on
a developer workstation. Iterate on your code, and let Skaffold and ko rebuild
and reload the running binary, with latencies that are indistinguishable from
local development.

## Proposal

Implement
[auto sync](https://skaffold.dev/docs/pipeline-stages/filesync/#auto-sync-mode)
for the
[Skaffold ko builder](https://skaffold.dev/docs/pipeline-stages/builders/ko/) in
[`dev`](https://skaffold.dev/docs/references/cli/#skaffold-dev) mode.

On source code changes, Skaffold rebuilds the Go binary locally using ko, and
copies it directly to the running container. Once copied, a process
supervisor + file watcher
([`watchexec`](https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec)) reloads the
application.

The prototype implementation can reload a hello-world web application in two
seconds on a GKE cluster, and in about one second on a local Minikube cluster.

## Motivation

Local development can be setup to afford fast feedback with rapid rebuilding of
application code. However, when the code needs to run in a Kubernetes cluster,
this feedback loop slows down. Reasons for having to run on a Kubernetes cluster
during development and testing include having to interact with dependent
applications, and with other infrastructure components that are too heavyweight
or cumbersome to run on a developer workstation.

Skaffold has a `dev` mode that rebuilds and reloads the application running on a
Kubernetes cluster. In most situations, this involves:

1. Rebuilding the container image.
2. Pushing the image to a registry.
3. Creating a new pod with the updated image, replacing the existing pod.

These steps involve multiple network hops (developer workstation pushing to
registry, cluster node pulling from the registry) and the overhead of creating a
new image and a new pod. These constraints put a lower bound on the latency of
having the new code running, which in turn impacts an engineer's flow.

Avoiding the cost of creating a new pod can be especially beneficial for some
applications. An example is applications that pre-populate a cache on startup,
either via application logic, or in an `emptyDir` volume using an init
container.

## Background

The Skaffold
[Buildpacks builder](https://skaffold.dev/docs/pipeline-stages/builders/buildpacks/)
supports
[hot reloading](https://skaffold.dev/docs/pipeline-stages/filesync/#buildpacks)
with
[Google Cloud Buildpacks](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/buildpacks).

Skaffold watches for source file changes on the developer workstation and
copies them (as a tarball) to the running container. Another file watcher
(`watchexec`) runs in the container, and when it detects the copied source
files, it
[recompiles and relaunches the binary](https://gist.github.com/halvards/a3c1f9a48adc931a2dcdd9db083350c4).

This Buildpacks builder feature provides a great user experience for Node.js and
JVM development. However, for Go development,
[ko enables faster image builds than Cloud Native Buildpacks](https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/ship-your-go-applications-faster-cloud-run-ko),
and ko doesn't require Docker.

The Buildpacks feature only sends source file changes over the network, but
the binary rebuilds in-container are constrained by the resources available to
the pod.

## Implementation, briefly

User runs `skaffold dev` for an artifact configured to use the ko builder, and
`sync.auto` is `true`:

1.  During the image build, check if `watchexec` exists in the
    [`kodata`](https://ko.build/features/static-assets/) directory (under the
    workspace). If it doesn't, download a release for the  tarball, extract
    the binary to the `kodata` directory (creating it if it doesn't exist).
    Also, add `watchexec` as an entry in a `.gitignore` file in the `kodata`
    directory.

2.  Rewrite the Kubernetes pod spec and specify watchexec as the container
    `command`. The original `command` and `args` will be added to `args`. To
    implement this, repurpose existing manifest rewriting logic from the
    Skaffold debug manifest rewriting implementation.

3.  When a change event takes place for local source code files, determine
    the platform for the rebuilt binary. Use the field from `skaffold.yaml` or
    `--platform` flag if present, if not, default to `linux/<host arch>`. Using
    the host architecture as the default helps Minikube and KinD users.

4.  Set the [`KOCACHE`](https://github.com/ko-build/ko/issues/264)
    environment variable if unset, so that ko builds the binary in a
    deterministic location. A clear contract from ko on this behavior would be
    helpful.

5.  When constructing the
    [ko build options](https://github.com/ko-build/ko/blob/main/pkg/build/options.go),
    ensure that ko doesn't download the base image again. Skaffold is only
    rebuilding the binary, so the base image isn't required. To achieve this,
    provide an
    [empty image](https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/tree/main/pkg/v1/empty)
    as the ko base image.

6.  Use ko to build the new binary
    [src](https://github.com/ko-build/ko/blob/5e0452ad67230076340d0e28dd8488e4370675c2/pkg/build/gobuild.go#L967).

7.  Use the existing Skaffold sync feature to sync the rebuilt binary from
    the local file `$KOCACHE/bin/<import path>/linux/<arch>/out` to the
    container destination `/ko-app/<base name of import path>`.

## Open questions

1.  Should `sync.auto` default to `true` for the ko builder, as it does for
    the Buildpacks and Jib builders?

    Users must specify a default base image that works with watchexec, and
    the default ko base image doesn't. This means that if we default to
    `true`, `skaffold dev` will fail for ko users who don't specify a
    compatible base image.

    Options:

    -   Default to `true` for consistency with other builders. If
        skaffold dev fails, print an error message suggesting a compatible base
        image (e.g., `gcr.io/distroless/cc:debug`)

    -   Default to `false`, and print a message suggesting to set it to
        `true` when they run `skaffold dev`.

2.  Should the URL used to download `watchexec` be exposed as a field in the
    Skaffold schema?

    This can be helpful for two reasons:

    -   Users can specify a different version of `watchexec`, or the
        musl-based binary instead of the default glibc one.

    -   Some users work in environments with restricted internet access,
        and this would allow them to specify an internal HTTP server as an
        alternative.

    However, an alternative that we can document is to ask users to download
    `watchexec` out-of-band, and place it in the `kodata` directory before
    running `skaffold dev`. Skaffold checks for the presence of the
    `watchexec` binary in this directory and skips the download if it is
    present. This option avoids adding yet another field to the schema.

3.  Should the feature also cover the Docker deployer?

## Alternative implementation steps

1.  Download the `watchexec` binary in the container at startup (using `curl`).
    This avoids polluting the local filesystem with the `watchexec` binary,
    but it adds time to each image build (in `dev` mode). It also requires a
    wrapper script as the entrypoint. The pod requires network access to the
    location where `watchexec` can be downloaded.

A mum is furious after her £1,900 holiday was canceled by email two years after booking it.
Sarah Kandziorca, from Chapeltown, West Yorkshire, had already arrived at Manchester Airport before finding her long-awaited holiday canceled.
She was furious when she and her two children were unable to leave, calling TUI "garbage" before vowing never to fly with the airline again.
They were in high spirits when they arrived at the airport and were told everything was going to go as planned.
But that all changed just 10 minutes later when they received a devastating email telling them their trip had failed. LeedsLive reports.

Holidaymakers at airports across the country faced long queues and canceled flights during the half term and lead up to the Queen's platinum jubilee celebrations.
Aeronautical data company Cirium said 377 flights were canceled from UK airports in the seven days up to and including yesterday, while more than 150 UK flights were canceled today (Wednesday 1 June).
Sarah and her children were due to fly to Turkey at 6.20am on Monday but their flight was rescheduled to 8am yesterday.
Sarah claims they received no prior warning of their flight cancellation, with a TUI spokeswoman saying the flight was unable to depart due to "unprecedented operational challenges at Manchester Airport".

Sarah said: "This holiday has been booked for two years now. We were picked up on Sunday and informed throughout the day by TUI that the flight would go ahead.
"We came to the airport, stood there for 10 minutes and were told that there were no TUI flights.
"They told us that the holiday was only postponed, not cancelled, we had a big party and no one could reach TUI."
The family were taken to a hotel by the holiday company free of charge and with free food but no drinks and due to Sarah's son's nut allergy, she had to buy her own food.
Their next flight was due to leave at 8am yesterday, but after not hearing from TUI, Sarah claimed a fellow passenger told her the flight had been canceled after they were informed by Swiss Airlines.
"We were basically taken to a hotel expecting to be picked up but instead of being told our holiday was canceled we got nothing," Sarah added.
Sarah was furious with TUI's service and tried to get in touch to arrange a refund or compensation but said she was unsuccessful.
She said: "I tried ringing, tried to fill out the compensation form and that crashed, which seems handy. I have to go to Hay's Travel now and find one at the last minute [holiday] somewhere.
"TUI is absolute rubbish, I would never fly with them if they offered me a free flight with the Queen. They stood and lied to people's faces."
Sarah was taken to a hotel at the airport
Sarah even claims that when she spoke to one of the airport staff about her flights, she heard them say, "RIP TUI."
She had people waiting for her in Turkey and even the hotel on the other side tried to contact TUI to see what happened but they said they hadn't heard anything.
A TUI spokeswoman said: "We would like to apologize to customers traveling from Manchester to Dalaman on flight TOM714, which was unable to depart as planned on Monday 30 May due to unprecedented operational challenges at Manchester Airport.
"Unfortunately, we felt the impact on customers' holidays was too great and regrettably made the difficult decision to cancel the flight.
"We have notified affected customers as soon as we are aware of the change and they will receive a full refund within the next 14 days.

Myanmar's Top Court Rejects the Final Appeal of Imprisoned Reuters Journalists
(NAYPYITAW, Myanmar) — Myanmar's Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the final appeal of two Reuters journalists and upheld seven-year prison sentences for their reporting on the military's brutal crackdown on Rohingya Muslims.
Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo earlier this month shared with their colleagues the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting, one of journalism's highest honors.
The court did not given a reason for its decision. Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, who are being held in a prison in Yangon, were not present for the ruling, but their wives were. Kyaw Soe Oo's wife broke down in tears when the ruling was read.
The reporters were arrested in December 2017 and sentenced last September after being accused of illegally possessing official documents, a violation of a colonial-era law.
They denied the allegation and contended they were framed by police. International rights groups, media freedom organizations, U.N experts and several governments have condemned their conviction as an injustice and an attack on freedom of the press.
"Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo did not commit any crime, nor was there any proof that they did," Gail Gove, Reuters chief counsel, said in a statement after the ruling. "Instead, they were victims of a police setup to silence their truthful reporting. We will continue to do all we can to free them as soon as possible."
Their appeal in January to a lower court was rejected on the ground that the lawyers for Wa Lone, 32, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, failed to submit enough evidence to prove they were innocent.
Khin Maung Zaw, a lawyer for the two, had said the latest appeal argued that lower court rulings involved errors in judicial procedure.
The Myanmar army's brutal counterinsurgency campaign in the western state of Rakhine in response to attacks on security personnel in 2017 drove 700,000 members of the Muslim Rohingya minority to flee to Bangladesh.
Reporting on the crackdown is sensitive in Buddhist-dominated Myanmar because of worldwide condemnation of the military's human rights abuses, which it denies.
The two reporters had worked on an investigation of the killing of 10 Rohingya villagers in Inn Din village, for which the government last year said seven soldiers were sentenced to up 10 years in prison with hard labor.
Investigators working for the U.N.'s top human rights body said last year that genocide charges should be brought against senior Myanmar military officers, while other critics accused the army of ethnic cleansing.

U.S., Mexican, and Canadian officials continue to negotiate changes to trade terms that could be included in a replacement to the existing North American Free Trade Agreement as a deadline outlined by President Trump nears.
Donald Trump set a deadline of Friday, August 31, for negotiations to end because federal law requires the President to notify Congress 90 days before he enters into international trade deals, and Trump is anxious to sign a deal before Mexico's new president is takes office on Dec. 1.
Mexico's incoming president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, is far more liberal than current President Enrique Peña Nieto.
One of Trump's campaign promises was to scrap existing trade deals he views as unfavorable to US companies, including NAFTA, which was passed by Congress in 1992 under the George Bush Administration but signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993.
But the current negotiations are not so much a new agreement as much as they are small changes to the existing framework of NAFTA.
Under NAFTA, goods and component parts move relatively freely between the three neighboring countries, especially automobiles and their respective parts. Over the nearly 25 years since NAFTA was passed, a complex production infrastructure has flourished that manufactures auto parts for all major American and many foreign auto makers.
This week, Trump announced a deal in principle with Mexican officials that would increase the percentage of parts in a car that would need to be made in the US or Mexico from 62.5% to 75%, as well as requiring at least 45% of the parts to come from factories that pay employees more than $16 per hour.
The proposal strengthens intellectual property laws for digital technology that didn't exist when NAFTA was written, and also requires stronger Mexican protections for labor unions, the environment, and sea life.
But, although the provisions were agreed to by US and Mexican officials, Canada has not yet signed on to the deal. Congress gave the Trump Administration authority to negotiate a trilateral agreement that must include Canada, and Congress will have 90 days to approve any deal Trump negotiates.
Without Congressional approval, the existing trade deal will remain in effect. NAFTA does not expire or have a sunset clause.
Economist have warned that the proposed changes to NAFTA will likely result in higher auto prices for US consumers as costs increase, and also cause job losses for American companies. Others argue that a trade deal cannot be finalized without including Canada, or that separate US deals with Canada and Mexico individually could lead to disruptions in the existing auto supply chain, further causing higher prices and job losses.
The current proposal also does not address trade tariffs the Trump Administration instituted earlier this year on steel and aluminum imports from both Canada and Mexico. Canada has also objected to existing NAFTA rules concerning dispute resolution which has allowed US companies to challenge stringent Canadian environmental laws.
Trump has threatened to forward a deal to Congress on Friday without Canada's approval and then add Canada before the end of September. That may or may not comply with the 90 day notice rule, according to some trade experts.
In the end, Congress may choose to approve separate trade deals with Mexico and Canada if and when each deal is reached in hopes of combining the deals into a coherent trade policy in the future.
In the meantime, negotiations continue and companies around the world and in the US wait to review the changes to see how they may affect their respective industries.
As for what to call the new trade deal, although Donald Trump has threatened to "scrap" NAFTA, fact sheets distributed by the White House this week refer to process as "modernizing NAFTA" and "an update to the 24-year old NAFTA", signaling that any new deal may be not much more than fixes and tweaks to one of the US's longest standing trade agreements.

Chiefs' Eric Bieniemy withdraws from CU consideration
In the end, Eric Bieniemy will continue to coordinate Patrick Mahomes and the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs offense for another season.
Bieniemy withdrew his name from consideration for the University of Colorado head coaching position, NFL Network's James Palmer reported Friday.
Mike Klis of 9News first reported the news.
A Colorado alum, who holds the school's all-time records in rushing, all-purpose yards and touchdowns, the potential allure of returning to his college program was likely the only reason Bieniemy even considered the head coaching job.
CU has been searching for a new head coach after Mel Tucker took the top job at Michigan State last week.
Eschewing the pull from his alma mater makes perfect sense for Bieniemy. He'll continue to coordinate the Super Bowl champions for another season. The 50-year-old will be among the top head coaching candidates in the NFL next season after being passed over during this year's hiring cycle.

If your health prevents you from exercising it is best to invest in a vibration board to give you a lymph drainage after each treatment. As always please check with your doctor or specialist to see if you are suitable to use a vibration board.
Can I eat a normal diet whilst having Fat Cavitation treatments?
The answer to this question depends on what your definition of a normal diet is. The ideal meal plan to follow whilst having Fat Cavitation treatments is a fruit, vegetable and meat diet with lots of fresh water and herbal teas. Limit your carbohydrate intake to 1 whole grain serve at breakfast and cut all refined sugars and other carbohydrates out completely.
Can I have RF and Fat Cavitation in the same session?
I love this question. Yes, definately. The best way to perform body sculpting treatments is with a mixture of RF and Ultrasound Fat Cavitation. Tightening the skin whilst melting the fat will achieve a better long term result.
I have had Fat Cavitation before without results. Does it really work?
Fat Cavitation always works. Once a fat cell is destroyed it will not return. It is likely that your diet and activity levels were inadequate for optimising your treatment results. When you start on a new program stick closely to the meal plan and activity requirements to ensure you get the most out of your treatments. You may also have nutritional & hormonal imbalances that cause your body to store fat instead of use it. A pre treatment assessment will ascertain if you are like to be suffering from a hormonal imbalance or dietary deficiency.
How does RF and Fat Cavitation work?
Fat Cavitation heats the fat cell and the fat within it to the point of expansion which ruptures the fat cell, therefore destroying it, and dispels the liquefied fat into the lymph system to be eliminated. RF skin tightening heats up dying elastin and collagen fibres to the point of shrinking, this process destroys the fibres to be eliminated and replaced with fresh collagen & elastin to firm and thicken the skin. This stimulated skin firming process can last up to 3 months post treatment.

My lemon-flavored cake topped with fresh blueberries. With Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites, I've lowered the fat and cholesterol of this sweet treat.
Spray a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, with a hand mixer or a whisk, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in the Egg Beaters 100% Egg Whites. Mix in the vanilla, lemon juice, and zest.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Sprinkle the coated berries onto the batter. The cornstarch will help the berries from sinking to the bottom.
Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through. When done, the cake will have a golden brown appearance and will be firm to the touch.
While the cake is baking, prepare the garnish. Add the blueberries, lemon zest, and honey into a small mixing bowl. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature while the cake cooks so that the flavors can meld.
Remove the cake from the oven. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
Once the cake has cooled, slice it into 12 pieces. Garnish each slice with a healthy spoonful of the marinated blueberries. Finally, dust the slices with powdered sugar, and dollop with light whipped topping. Serve and enjoy!
