A hideaway for all seasons
JANE SLADE enjoys a stay at a villa owned by the Hideaways Club in the fashionable Turkish resort of Kalkan and talks to some Brits who have built their own properties there
It's hard to measure the excitement of approaching your overseas villa bathed in sunshine, with the sea sparkling in the distance and a warm welcome waiting inside.
But that is what you can expect from the Hideaways Club, which owns a portfolio of luxury properties all over the world and offers an ideal alternative to buying a second home abroad.
One of the prize properties in its Classic Collection of 43 chalets and villas is Kalkan Heights in the fashionable Turkish holiday resort of Kalkan.
And it is everything you might expect from an exclusive shared-ownership club that only buys exquisite luxury homes in choice locations, ranging from 12th century Tuscan farmhouses deep in the olive groves, beachfront villas on paradise islands, to Broadway penthouses overlooking Times Square; and for a starting investment price of £88,000.
Our four-storey villa (pictured above and below) had a rooftop terrace with breath-taking views of the Mediterranean, a private pool, a vast sitting and dining area and lots of little spaces where one could escape with a good book or glass of wine.
There was room to do whatever you wanted. Soon after we arrived one friend settled down to watch cricket on the satellite TV channel, another lazed on a comfy sun lounger while I ventured onto the roof terrace to admire the view. Everyone was happy. All of the time. What's more each of the four bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms so privacy was guaranteed.
A welcome basket of groceries greeted us with all the essentials to ensure a great start to our holiday and soon after we had unpacked Wendy the concierge arrived to offer us tips on getting around, good places to eat, and the low-down on the local attractions which included a 16km-long beach, and a bo-ho village called Kas a short drive along a scenic stretch of coast.
Kalkan is a charming web of hilly narrow streets, with a jumble of restaurants, some perched on top of each other and cluster of quirky shops. It is also a treasure trove of imitation designer handbags, watches and shoes and far better quality that you will find in the local market.
The resort, which is 1 ½ hours from Dalaman airport, has proved a great lure for British property hunters many of whom have built their own holiday villas. [pullquote1 quotes="true" align="right" variation="purple"]Hideaways Club members are attracted by the lower capital investment required … compared with buying a second home.[/pullquote1]
Claire and Uluc Bilgutay, who run the property company Korsan Kalkan have been refurbishing old properties and building sparkling new ones in Kalkan for over 20 years; selling apartments as well as luxury villas to well-heeled Brits. They also run one of the most popular and oldest restaurants in the town and have a service maintenance company which manages the Hideaways Clubs two properties in the resort.
"The property business has really taken off in last 14 to 15 years," says British-born Claire who met her Turkish husband when she came to Kalkan on holiday. "We have a lot of British customers. We work with different owners, some know exactly what they want which is lovely and other don't so we help them create a vision.
"We can source everything for them and take care of their property when they aren't here. We organize cleaning, pool and garden maintenance and also offer a barbecue service where one of our chefs can come and cook for you." Korsan Properties is currently building four five-bedroom villas, two semi-detached three-bedroom villas and four two-bedroom apartments priced from £249,000 rising to £844,000 on a scheme overlooking Kalamar Bay.
Fiona and Nico Fontaine from Wandsworth, South London employed Korsan Kalkan to build their five-bedroom property Villa Bono so they could enjoy family holidays with their three teenage daughters and friends. They moved in 18 months ago.
"People want something completely different here," says Fiona, a yoga teacher who first came to Kalkan with some girlfriends two years ago. "The people here are lovely, it's very safe and we love being isolated yet close to the town.
"Claire and Uluc were fantastic; nothing was too much trouble. They organized everything and still do. We pay around £4,000 a year service charge and it is worth every penny."
Their multi-storey villa cost just £550,000 and occupies a prime spot overlooking Kalamar Bay and all the bedrooms have uninterrupted sea views.
Cool, modern and spacious, the villa also has a huge outdoor terrace with an infinity pool.
"There's always a lovely breeze even when it's very hot," says Fiona who offers the villa for rent for £3,600 a week high season.
The Hideaways Club has two properties in Kalkan but members can choose from a variety of properties in a huge number of city and rural destinations all over the world and enjoy holidays year round. They also don't have the hassle of maintaining their properties.
Poonam Dhawan-Leech, CEO of The Hideaways Club says, "Rising confidence in the foreign property market is stimulating interest in The Hideaways Club membership.
"New members are attracted by the lower capital investment required for membership compared with buying a second home, the flexibility we offer and the wide choice of luxury homes to stay in. They also like the fact that that they are investing in properties spread across different countries and are therefore less exposed to the vagaries of any particular country's property market."
Di and Will Bailey who run an event-organizing company in London built their six-bedroom Villa Beylihan (pictured above and below) which includes a separate apartment in Kalkan 10 years ago and offer it for rent when they are not using it up to eight weeks a year. Will, 60, maintains property in Kalkan represents great value for money.
"We've witnessed a complete transformation in Kalkan since we arrived 10 years ago," Will says. "There were hardly any villas when we arrived. Building has slowed but you get fantastic value for money. Our villa would have cost £2-3million to build in France rather than a few hundred thousand. The people are lovely – they understand the service industry and you get a better type of Brit coming here – those who respect staff and locals more."
Will's tips for designing the perfect villa
1. Keep bedrooms small. Big bedrooms take longer to cool in summer and air conditioning is costly. You don't spend much time in a bedroom so why do you want a big one? Install reflective glass which cuts down the heat.
2. The best view. Having looked at various views you don't want to look to far down. The right perspective is to be slightly raised so you can see further but not so high you feel like you are on an aeroplane when you look down. Most of all make sure you have a protected view.
3. Outside space. Communication between areas at pool level has to be right, so you can eat, swim and sunbathe within the same vicinity but also have spaces to escape to.
4. A separate apartment under your villa can be great for teenagers or friends who want their own private space. It is also useful if you want to rent it out separately.
5. Location. You want your villa to be in a peaceful location but within striking distance of the town.
6. To extend the season consider putting a heat pump in the pool so you can still swim during the cooler months and offer a longer rental period.
For those who don't want to build their own villa the Hideaways Club offers two funds:
The Classic Collection offers a choice of 43 stunning villas and chalets in such locations as France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mauritius, South Africa and South East Asia. Members also have access to a further portfolio of 200 luxury villas through reciprocal agreements with other destination clubs, bringing the total number of villas available for members' use to 243. The properties typically accommodate 8-10 guests. Entry Level price for the Classic Collection start with a Lifestyle Associate membership at £88,000.
The City Collection offers 13 beautiful city centre apartments in such iconic cities as New York, Prague, Barcelona, Berlin, Istanbul, Bangkok and Dubai, with a further choice of seven homes available through reciprocal agreements, giving a total of 20 city apartments which typically accommodate 4-6 guests. Entry level price for an Associate membership starts at £69,500.

Building and running a successful business is a herculean task. Bringing a product or service to the market requires many different elements to work together flawlessly. Marketing, sales and customer service functions need a clear strategic vision that originates from the top.
In addition to boosting employee morale, strong leadership can help businesses buck unfavourable market trends, build winning products and grow their bottom lines. So, how does a business owner go about building great teams that drive business growth in practical terms?
As they say, success leaves clues. We bring to you some of the best entrepreneurial advice from legendary business icons that can help you understand and run your business better.
Steve Jobs, co-founder, Former chairman and CEO at Apple Computers.
This idea, however, has been around much before Apple was founded. Peter Drucker came up with the term 'knowledge worker' far back in 1959. A Knowledge Worker is anyone who processes information to derive insights into the market needs and helps in creating specific outcomes for businesses and their customers.
Founded in 2009, Student Maid is a business that only employs students. Its founder Kristen Hadeed believed that 'Leadership isn't a privilege to do less. Leadership is a responsibility to do more.' She learned her lesson the hard way when 45 out of her 60 employees quit in a matter of days because of her arrogance.
From then onwards, she focused on employee engagement and creating an inclusive culture where merit was recognized and rewarded. This not only helped her grow her revenues, but also positively impacted employee loyalty.
Doshi became a CEO at 20, and his company went on to raise $77 million in 10 years. He believes that the role of a CEO changes with time. He may be called upon to guide the overall vision of the firm and must know when to let go. Micro-managing the affairs of the business can be counterproductive and can lead to resentment among the team members.
Doshi believe that to encourage excellence and innovation, it is critical to empower your team. Building a team that can function smoothly without you will help you focus on your core strengths, rather than using a 'jack of all trades' approach.
Warren Buffet has practically rewritten the corporate finance playbook and his advice is sought after by billionaires around the world. According to him, any business requires strong communication skills from an early stage. Building relationships with investors, employees and suppliers can enable your business to thrive even in an uncertain environment.
Warren believes that with excellent communication skills, you can convince people to follow your ideas even when they are unconventional. Brian Tracy, a world-renowned leadership guru, agrees and says that 85% of the success of any organization depends on good communication.
A good leader also needs adequate financial backing to translate his business vision into reality. Whether you need to ensure adequate cash flow or require funds to expand your business operations, Business ExpansionLoansfrom Reliance Money, can give you an edge with quick and hassle-free financing.


Last night was an all-nighter squaring away new tech in my writing universe.
First the Adonit Pixel. I love it—Adonit have made many small changes from its last incarnation (the Jot Touch), all for the better. The tip is improved. The diameter is slightly smaller. It has better battery life. The function buttons haven't changed location, but they are stiffer, making it harder to click them by accident—and if you do click them accidentally in the middle of writing or drawing, the drawing is given priority over the button command.
What doesn't it have? Look at the photo very carefully—what's wrong with this picture?
No pocket clip, that's what. Not only that, but the stylus is perfectly round, so that I don't dare lay it down on a table or desk—it will roll if the surface is even slightly off level.
I finally got disgusted at 2 am and got two pairs of pliers and a Fisher Space Pen removable pen clip. I bent the tines of the round barrel grip outwards until it freaking fit the oversized body of the Pixel. Problem solved.
Then there was the browser thing. Firefox for Mac has broken so that it can't be used to drag webpages to Scrivener. I had replaced it with a new-ish entry into the browser sweepstakes, Vivaldi. It's wonderful—speedy, flexible, and takes Chrome extensions as if they were made for it.
At 3 am I was not making great decisions. I tried installing the Rescuetime Chrome extension into Vivaldi—no dice. I switched back to Firefox, but it still had its problems. I even tried switching to Safari—a mark of true desperation. Finally I tried looking at the Rescuetime help pages.
Rescuetime does not now nor has it ever supported Vivaldi, and probably never will.
There is a workaround involving the very Chrome extension that I had given up on.
First, lie to Rescuetime the Chrome extension in Vivaldi and tell it you don't have the Rescuetime the App installed on your system. Then, go to Rescuetime.com, drill through reports until you see Vivaldi time only, and tell Rescuetime.com (and therefore Rescuetime the App) to ignore all Vivaldi time.
Voila! The Rescuetime app records no time for Vivaldi. Meanwhile, Rescuetime the Chrome extension, thinking that there is no Rescuetime app, reports all the detailed website time. Rescuetime the App continues to report the time spent in Scrivener and in Solitaire. Problem solved.
The moral of this story: I should write down things to do like "put a pen clip onto my Adonit Pixel" and "Figure out why Rescuetime is barfing up Vivaldi website time" at 2 am and go to sleep.

How can a church "change it's spots"?
What is necessary for successful cultural change in church?
Liturgical churches that have little relevance in connecting with youths and young adults. These communities are gradually losing this age-group because their ministries have not changed over the years.
Patterns of controlling leaders that bring in pastors for a season, and then step in to take over when things don't go their way.
Inward-looking churches that make a shift over years to engage the surrounding community, serving and reaching out to them. These churches truly become outward-looking and making the impact beyond the church walls!
Traditional churches that embrace the move, work and signs of the Holy Spirit, pressing on despite resistance until it becomes a norm for ministry life. Prayers of prophecy, healing and encouragement are practiced regularly for members and newcomers alike.
There is a need to identify the deep issues in value-clash and navigate them. Discernment allows leaders to be sensitive and pastoral in navigation of direction. This can significantly reduce pain in the midst of confrontation.
Culture is seldom shifted by any single element, but rather through the effect of several elements working in tandem. A strategic leader is like an architect building an echo-chamber that combines different elements, eg. the wall, padding, ceiling, to produce a reverberation through the hall. He discerns which ministry to build first and which to layer next so that different ministries within the church come together to create a "chamber" that sustains the voice of the new culture.
Most cultural changes take a long time! Similar to a rubber band being stretched, as changes are made, culture threatens to pull-back to its original shape. A leader who feels called by God must persevere for that period and "lean" consistently in the direction of change until the breakthrough comes.
So, can a church "change her spots"?
If God believes His people can change, then I do too!
May you always hold in your heart the hope for positive change in God's people — God's church!
Rev. Dr. Philip Huan is the Principal Consultant at ChurchLife Resources, and is passionate about helping churches and leaders become strong and healthy!

I know it's only January, but I have already started to see this year's swimsuits displayed in stores all over town.
To join the movement, I thought I'd add my two cents on the matter. You know, to give a man's perspective on swimwear.
As far as design and looks go, Billabong is awesome. They always have the coolest looking stuff.
From year to year, their designs make the trends. I don't want to sound like a fashionista, but I also don't want to be the dude at the pool who looks like he got his suit last century.
I'm telling you. These guys make a really nice suit. The quality and fit are nice too. I've never been disappointed.
A long time favorite of mine, Quicksilver is still an awesome brand. This surf shop has all you need for a day of beach sports.
The designs are cool and they are made super well. They also carry wetsuits, rash guards, you name it. And they have stuff for winter sports too.
Basically, if you like any sport with the word "board" in it, this is the store for you.
When it comes to anything outside of the realm of board shorts, I always go with Speedo. They are top of the line and the quality is predictably awesome.
Everything will stay where it's supposed to (if you know what I'm saying), the swimsuit won't wear out too quickly, and you will have little to no drag.
Speedo remains on the top of the market. This brand reigns supreme!
Do you always tend to buy one brand of swimwear? Which one is it? We'd like to know.
Please leave your tips in the comment section below.
See ya' next swim season!

Hero's are generally described as people who are well appreciated by the society for their courageous and generous deeds which either helps in making it more secure or prosperous. It is also said that having heroic figures helps in establishing certain moral codes and in the construction of the symbolic boundaries that structure society and define its meaning. Im historic literature, the main or revered character in their epic poetry classics are celebrated through ancient legends of people, who are mostly striving for some military conquest and living a life which has continually flawed personal honor code. Through the passage of time, this definition of hero has certainly changed. A dictionary by Merriam Webster defines a hero as a person who is praised and embraced for its fine qualities, great or brave acts. One can identify heroes from the mythological range, such as Gilgamesh, Iphigenia and Achilles to the historic characters such as Giuseppe Garibaldi, Joan of Arc or Sophie Scholl. Modern day heroes might be identified as Chuck Yeager, Audie Murphy and Alvin York, while this range may spread to the most famous fictional superheroes like Captain America,
Spider Man, Superman and Batman.
The description of a hero is very essential to the fictional world. Every story or movie generally has its hero, around which the story revolves, this is the most loved character by the audience and very necessary to keep the audience entertained.

Experts warn Nigerians on abuse of data privacy
By Bankole Orimisan
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on WhatsApp Share on LinkedIn Share via Email 2
Why Nigerians are experiencing slow internet service lately

The President/Chairman Governing Council of the Institute of Information Management (IIM) Africa, Dr. oyedokun Oyewole, and the chairman Data and Knowledge Information Privacy Protection Initiative(DKIPP), Tokunbo Smith, have warned general public to desist from perpetuating abuse of data privacy in the country.
This in collaboration with other experts drawn from the legal, health, religious, educational and information management and other disciplines, in commemoration of this year's Data Privacy Day (DPD), unanimously agreed on the need for speedy passage of the Information Privacy Act lying at the the National Assembly for close to a decade.
The Data Privacy Day was made to raise awareness internationally to discuss solutions for, the growing problem of data privacy vulnerabilities.
In his keynote address at the occasion held in Lagos, Oyewole, said it is essential for business leaders and other stakeholders to understand the full risk potential of data privacy threats and how to address these issues.
He recalled that in response to the increasing levels of data breaches and the global importance of privacy and data security, in 2010 the Online Trust Alliance (OTA) and dozens of global organizations embraced Data Privacy Day as Data Privacy & Protection Day, emphasizing the need to look at the long-term impact to consumers' data collection, use and protection practices.
The IIM-Africa's Chairman said, "The art of technological advancement is embraced by all nations including developing countries. Today, the world has become a global village where people share information at the same time but in different parts of the world over the internet. Unfortunately, a developing country like Nigeria venture into such technology without understanding the implications and the legal frameworks under which those technologies function, considering the fast pace at which technology keeps evolving while the legal pace remains predominantly slow.
"In recent years, the number of African countries which have enacted privacy frameworks or are planning data protection laws has vastly increased. Currently, 14 African countries have privacy framework laws and some sort of data protection authorities in place".
Meanwhile, seven African countries have data protection bills in place: Nigeria, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, Tanzania, and Uganda.
"Nigeria has two Data Protection related bills (one dated 2008 and the other 2010) yet, neither has been passed into law", he lamented.
Speaking specifically with regards to 'Issues, Challenges and Opportunities' in data privacy, the keynote speaker said, "Businesses and their customers' alike collect, store and transmit vast amounts of information electronically, and they want to believe that this information is secure. At the customer level, the concern for data privacy should stimulate laws and regulations aimed at addressing those issues including what information can be collected and maintained, how the information should be stored, how and where information can be transmitted, and required actions in the event of a security breach.

Q: Elasticsearch inaccesible from browser I have installed elasticsearch and marvel and am able to access elasticsearch through curl.
This is what I get when i curl to PUBLIC_DNS:9200
{
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Ares",
"version" : {
"number" : "1.1.1",
"build_hash" : "f1585f096d3f3985e73456debdc1a0745f512bbc",

"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

and this when I curl to PUBLIC_DNS:9200/_plugin/marvel/
<head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=/_plugin/marvel/"></head>

How is it possible for me to access Elasticsearch through browser. The installation guide says it should be available through browser on localhost:9200
The server is running on an AWS instance will port 9200 added to the securitygroup.

A: In you comment you have mentioned that curl -XGET SERVER_DGNS:9200 works. From where you were trying that? From the server itself(in AWS) or from your local system. Where is the browser you were trying to access the URL from?
What is the value you have set on "network.bind_host" and "network.host" in your elasticsearch.yml config? Using default configuration elasticsearch is accessible from anywhere. But for security reasons many people bind it to localhost or the intranet ip to restrict access to outside.

A: To access the Elasticsearch server from the other browser you need to enable the firewall of the server by running the below commands
To check the current status run - sudo ufw status verbose
To enable the firewall for accessing the elasticsearch from anywhere, run - ufw enable.

These are a couple of works I did for my Wife's massage therapy studio. With all the renovations we did with their new space I was able to squeeze some printing into the wood work. This thresh hold was done by cutting leftover bamboo flooring into 2" squares and creating this tile pattern. I was then able to print it with their logo and apply a printed urethane coating for protection. This was all done in my shop before installation. Then using liquid nails for the base and tile caulk I pieced it all together.
Another work in progress is the signage for the place. This interior door is simply done with a preprinted piece of clear vinyl. I'll be working on another for the front of the building when it warms up a little.

Home » Gov. Cuomo: Trump 'Better Have An Army' To Protect Him If He Comes To NYC
Gov. Cuomo: Trump 'Better Have An Army' To Protect Him If He Comes To NYC
1 year ago Milne News Staff
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday sent a warning to President Trump saying that if he returns to New York City he will need an army to protect him.
Cuomo's unhinged rant was in response to an exclusive story by TheNew York Post that President Trump is going to pull federal funds from lawless cities like New York.
Gov. Cuomo called an emergency press briefing within a half-hour on Wednesday night to not talk about the problems in NYC, but rather to go on a rant about President Trump's order, which cites New York's rising murder rate and defunding of the NYPD.
"He better have an army if he thinks he's gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don't want to have anything to do with him," the Democrat said, all but threatening the commander-in-chief.
"He can't have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City, people don't want to have anything to do with him," Cuomo continued.
"It is more of the same from him. It's political, it is gratuitous. And it's illegal. But it is another attempt to kill New York City," Cuomo said.
The rant didn't stop there, Cuomo went on and on.
"President Ford said drop dead. President Trump has been actively trying to kill New York City since he's been elected," he said.
"I think it's because he is from New York City and New York City rejected him, always," Cuomo said. "He was dismissed as a clown in New York City, those who know him best, like him least."
"He was disrespected in New York City. Nobody took him seriously and he was just a tabloid cartoon."
Referring to a claim in a recent book by Trump's niece, Mary Trump, Cuomo said, "his sister, a former federal judge, is disgraced by him."
After all that gabble, Cuomo attempted to walk back what he just said:
"My comment about the president and bodyguards in New York City, all I'm saying is that he is persona non grata in New York City. And I think he knows that. And he'll never come back to New York, because New Yorkers will never forget how gratuitously mean he has been to New Yorkers and how many times he's tried to kill the city that gave him his start and birthed him. That's what I meant about the bodyguards."

Larry is a Medical Doctor in Cape Town, South Africa. He's an avid sportsman, drummer, home cook, and science enthusiast. He fulfills his passion for helping people with his work in medicine. He is presently working in the public healthcare system in South Africa as he awaits Canadian immigration.
As a doctor, do you consider yourself to be healthy?
Yes, I'd say most of the time I am. I try to balance the amount of total calories I consume and the amount of exercise I can complete. Sometimes my exercise is compromised by awkward or long hours that I work. If I'm very tired and I need to catch up sleep I might have a period where I might not be as healthy and 'balanced' as I'd like to be.
What barriers to healthy eating are you expecting when you move to Canada?
I will be moving from a coastal town (with abundant plant and animal produce) to a small landlocked town. There will also be the easily available fast food restaurants on every corner.
What is bringing you to Canada?
In South Africa, we have a huge healthcare discrepancy between private and public healthcare in an unstable socio-political environment. I'm interested in working in a more functional healthcare system that has such a strong focus on primary healthcare. The advanced technology in Canadian healthcare and the availability of special investigations that I would normally have to fight [to get] for my patients is exciting. I think the element of formal continued medical education is very important for physicians and it shows how forward thinking Alberta is toward healthcare and that's really what intrigued me.
When you work night shifts and long hours does your job get in the way of what you eat?
Definitely. I like to prepare healthy 'on-call' meals. However, I often fall into the trap of snacking on easily available high-calorie foods that contain added sugars and fat. This leads to fluctuating energy levels and varying levels of performance at work.
What do you like to pack to bring to work?
I'll make a tuna or chicken salad with lettuce on a low GI [glycemic index] bread and maybe a Coke Zero and some cut fruit. That's usually enough to sustain me but there are always sweets and treats in the tearoom that I might end up eating.
In the wealthier communities, we see more physical activity and exercise culture. In these areas healthy eating is almost a trend, however, I do still see obesity in wealthy people. South Africa really is a mixed bag.
There are so many. Warm chocolate fondant with ice cream.
Peanut butter, whole grain bread, salmon and sweet potato.
If you could get a message out to the public about food, what would you tell them?
Stop eating and drinking added sugars in large volumes.
Don't follow a set diet. Let it be a healthy lifestyle.
The food you eat needs to work for you.
Seared tuna or salmon but that's quite simple so I'd say the most fun I have cooking is probably making something complex like risotto.
Heston Blumenthal, he's a gastronomic 2-star Michelin chef.
I don't think the Food Babe is as popular in South Africa as Tim Noakes, so tell me what you think about Tim Noakes and the 'Banting diet'.
I think the Banting diet is dangerous. There are certain elements of what Tim Noakes has said that have truthful elements to it. I agree that we should reduce sugars in the diet … But I think a lot of people have misinterpreted what he's said and think that they should consume as much meat and fat as they possibly can while cutting out all carbohydrates. I don't think cutting out specific colored fruits or vegetables constitutes a healthy diet or lifestyle. I'm more concerned with reducing added sugars in the diet while still eating fruits and vegetables.
I definitely wouldn't recommend the diet or follow it myself.
I've already talked about Banting so I think the Dukan diet. It's a drastic weight loss diet that is unsustainable and usually results in binges.
Salmon eggs benedict, or a peanut butter, banana and rice milk smoothie. My wife makes it better than any restaurant.
It depends on how much time I have. If I don't have much time low GI linseed bread with peanut butter or if I have more time I like eggs and toast.

Equipment dealer associations vote to form NAEDA
March 27, 2022 2 Mins Read Machinery
A joint membership among four equipment dealers in North America has voted in favor of merging to form the North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA).
NAEDA now represents around 3,000 dealerships in 24 states and nine Canadian provinces, including dealers selling agricultural, construction, industrial, forestry, outdoor power, and lawn, garden, and turf equipment. It will also represent dealers in federal government affairs in Washington D.C., and Ottawa, Canada.
The member vote was the final step in the merger process to create this new association, and it is projected to go into effect July 1, 2022. The joint membership is made up of Midwest-SouthEastern Equipment Dealers Association, the United Equipment Dealers Association, the Western Equipment Dealers Association, and the Equipment Dealers Association (EDA).
"We appreciate the overwhelming level of support that we have been given by our members," says Tom Rosztoczy, chair of the long-range planning group. "Now that our members have ratified the merger resolutions, we will start with our transition plan and consolidating our resources — taking the best of all four organizations to enhance our value proposition to dealers."
Other regional equipment dealer associations outside of this partnership will maintain their independence from the NAEDA, and will be allowed to participate in national conversations if they choose to do so.
"With the expansion and consolidation of dealers, to keep the same numbers and to make everything financially viable, we need to consolidate some of the associations as well," says Kim Rominger, president and CEO of EDA. "These associations and their dealer members have decided this is the best course of action for their associations."
The NAEDA will continue to offer the same services to dealers the individual associations did before, helping them in areas of data collection, government affairs, and manufacturer relations, says Rominger. It also has a number of educational, legal, and insurance programs available to its members.

The Price of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
David Price. (Credit: Keith Allison on Flickr)
On May 9, 2018, one of those sports talking head shows was playing in the background as I tried to get some work done. While they are usually useful as white noise as I try to be productive, I happened to glance at the screen and something that scrolled across the bottom caught my eye: David Price would be held out of his start that night for what was being called "mild carpal tunnel syndrome.
That's odd. In my residency, we dealt with carpal tunnel (CTS hereafter) on a regular basis. Frequently, we would use electromyography to diagnose whether CTS was present in an individual and to what severity. This information would assist surgeons on whether to do surgery or not.
David Price does not fit the usual mold of patients that complained of CTS-like symptoms that we saw in our clinic.
Since the missed start, reports have come out that Price's CTS can be attributed to playing the video game 'Fortnite'. This has been a topic of much discussion among the aforementioned talking heads, but that's neither here nor their for my purposes at this moment.
I'm more curious about what the implications of CTS in a pitcher could be. It was the first time I could recall CTS interfering with a major league pitcher's ability to perform his duties, much less costing him a start.
However, was my memory tricking me?
A search through ProSportsTransactions.com shows precisely one MLB player in the past from their database that was suffering from CTS enough to be placed on the disabled list (DL): Chad Gaudin, a pitcher on the San Francisco Giants, was placed on the DL on 8/20/2013.
A few interesting things about Gaudin. He didn't pitch for the rest of the season after being placed on the DL. That offseason, he signed with the Phillies, but was released before the season began because of a failed physical. He would later undergo a rare phrenectomy surgery and sit out the season. The following offseason, he signed with the Dodgers and, despite pitching well in spring training, began to feel a numbness and tingling sensation in the fingers of his right hand. Even though it was initially reported as "neck nerve irritation", the right-hander subsequently underwent carpal tunnel release surgery. Initial reports had him returning in a month, but he would instead spend the rest of the season rehabbing. Gaudin never pitched again in the majors and has most recently bounced around a couple of Mexican League teams.
Chad Gaudin. (Credit: dbking on Flickr)
But let's go back to that numbness and tingling he was experiencing that August day in 2013. According to the linked article, his manager, Don Mattingly, said, "The only time he was able to reproduce the feeling was when he gets up on the mound."
This makes sense to a degree. CTS is compression of the median nerve as it courses through the carpal tunnel and is caused by repetitive hand and wrist movement, specifically wrist extension or flexion. Repeated wrist extension/flexion can be caused by activities such as using a keyboard and, yes, gripping objects. Symptoms tend to flare when these activities are done.
Median Nerve Compression in CTS. (Credit: BruceBlaus. Blausen.com staff (2014). "Medical gallery of Blausen Medical 2014". WikiJournal of Medicine 1 (2). DOI:10.15347/wjm/2014.010. ISSN 2002-4436.)
In actuality, though, most cases are idiopathic. Poor prognostic factors include symptoms present for greater than 10 months per Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Board Review, which would seem to apply to Gaudin's scenario, considering that, at least publicly, we know that more than a year passed from the onset of his symptoms to going under the knife.
Most cases are idiopathic—okay. And Gaudin could have had a mass or something else causing it. I don't know. But humor me for a few minutes. Repetitive gripping is a known cause of CTS. There is weakness in thumb abduction and opposition (ability of thumb to touch the other fingers on the same hand). While this study shows there is no correlation between grip and pinch strength and pitch type, it attributes the importance of palmar pinch (thumb pad to pads of index and middle fingers) in holding the ball when throwing a fastball, curveball, change-up and slider. Refer to The Complete Pitcher for different types of grips.
Is it possible that CTS interfered with Gaudin's ability to grip the baseball and affected his pitching?
Let's take a look (all subsequent pitching data from BrooksBaseball):
First his pitch mix over the last 3 months leading up to his injury.
Chad Gaudin Pitch Mix
Fourseam%
Sinker%
Change-Up%
Slider%
6/2013 63.30 6.73 9.43 20.54
7/2013 57.62 7.06 12.58 22.74
No curves, but plenty of the other types. Now let's look at his velocity in the last 3 months up to the injury.
Chad Gaudin Velocity
Fourseam (MPH)
Sinker (MPH)
Change-Up (MPH)
Slider (MPH)
6/2013 92.58 91.85 86.54 80.25
Generally there is a drop in velocity across the board. His fastball loses more than two ticks. Is it possible Gaudin was starting to feel something at this point? Well, let's look at the movement on his pitches. (I promise this is a David Price post, and not a Chad Gaudin post. Well, maybe it's both).
For Horizontal Movement, picture the change in the ball's movement along the X-axis:
Chad Gaudin Horizontal Movement
Fourseam (inches)
Sinker (inches)
Change-Up (inches)
Slider (inches)
6/2013 -4.87 -7.96 -8.13 7.23
For Vertical Movement, picture the change in the ball's movement along the Y-axis:
Chad Gaudin Vertical Movement
6/2013 7.79 4.15 0.17 0.82
Something's up! His pitches had less movement, and in the case of his fastball, a lot less. Whether it was the CTS or symptoms that portended the eventual phrenectomy or the "neck pain", something was going on.
Was there a similar trend with David Price?
David Price Velocity
Cutter (MPH)
5/3/2018 92.69 92.83 85.31 88.65
(Price uses a cutter instead of a slider, but same principles apply. Also, he made one May start prior to missing his next one with CTS, so that's the game included here.)
Eh…not much change in velocity. What about movement? This time, I put everything in one table, so hopefully it'll be easier to see if there are any trends.
David Price Movement
Horizontal (inches)
Vertical (inches)
Fourseam
3/2018 5.61 7.43
5/3/2018 5.59 8.56
3/2018 10.63 5.44
Change-Up
3/2018 -0.08 3.83
Not much there, either. Well, it was worth a shot.
This was all likely moot anyway because Price came in on his first start after CTS on May 12 and tossed 5 1/3 serviceable innings with 6 strikeouts and 3 walks. There wasn't much of a change in his velocity or movement on his pitches in this start, either. Most likely, he had an acute flare-up of his CTS that day, resulting in swelling and pain in his wrist that prevented him from pitching that day. Mild CTS can be treated conservatively with hand splints, medications, injections, and ergonomic modifications. Remember, all we know publicly is David Price had "mild" CTS, so this fits. The reason for the CTS could've been anything and it's not necessarily something we could've seen coming by his pitching indicators. Whereas with Gaudin, his CTS was obviously bad enough to eventually require surgery, meaning he likely had muscle atrophy, severe pain, and/or failed conservative treatment (just speculating, but seems likely).
Suffice it to say, there's not a lot of precedent in CTS affecting major league pitchers to glean sound conclusions.
If only we had more access to Price's Fortnite stats.

Candidate Fisher To Mass. GOP: Show Clean Convention Tally And I'll Drop Suit
By Bob Salsberg, Associated Press June 2, 2014 at 6:05 pm
Filed Under:Charlie Baker, gubernatorial primary, mark fisher, Mass Governors Race, Mass Republican Party, Mass. GOP, Mass. Republican convention, Republican Primary
Mark Fisher. (WBZ-TV)
BOSTON (AP) – Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Fisher said Monday he'd consider dropping a lawsuit against the state GOP over initially being denied a spot on the primary ballot.
Fisher said he'd be willing to forego additional legal action if the party released tally sheets from its March 22 convention and they didn't show improprieties.
"Let's put this behind us," he said.
Convention delegates endorsed Baker and party officials said Fisher, a tea party member, fell just shy of the 15 percent support needed to qualify for the ballot. The GOP later agreed to certify Fisher, but he continues to seek monetary damages.
Fisher made the comments after a forum with fellow GOP candidate Charlie Baker where the two sparred on everything from casinos to the minimum wage.
"Maybe our biggest challenge is to figure out how to be the kind of state where there is opportunity for everyone no matter where you live or what your chosen industry or profession is," Baker said.
Fisher said the economy is on the wrong track, citing high taxes and burdensome regulations. He said both Baker and Democrats are downplaying the extent of the economic woes.
"We're known as Taxachusetts," said Fisher. "If we continue down this track we will be known as Detroitachusetts."
The two also split on health care. Baker said he believes access to health care was a basic right. Fisher disagreed, saying people should choose whether they want insurance.
Baker said there should be only one casino in Massachusetts. He said he disagreed with Attorney General Martha Coakley — a Democrat running for governor — who decided to keep a question that would repeal the law off the November ballot. Baker would not say how he would vote on the question. Fisher said he would vote to repeal casinos.
Baker also said he was concerned about how the state gaming commission would break a possible 2-2 tie on an eastern Massachusetts casino now that commission Chairman Stephen Crosby has recused himself from the vote.
Fisher said he opposed any hike in the state minimum wage, saying it should be a matter between employees and employers.
Baker said he supported a higher wage but opposed automatically linking future hikes to the rate of inflation. He also wanted to add a tax credit for small businesses to offset the cost of minimum wage hikes.
The candidates also disagreed on climate change, with Fisher calling it a "myth" and Baker saying he thinks the climate is changing and there is evidence of it.
Both candidates said they would support investigating the possibility of Boston bidding for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
On the Cape Wind project, Baker said he opposed the offshore wind farm, but said it may be too late because most of the permitting is done. Fisher said there should be a "moratorium" on further Cape Wind development.
The debate was sponsored by Commonwealth Magazine, the group "A Better City," and the Massachusetts Competitive Partnership.

I have an issue with Captive portal authentication on the mobility controller. The unauthorized users can bypass the authentication step using vpn applications like psiphone.
Is there any solution to resolve this issue and force users to get through the captive portal authentication process before connecting to the network?
The initial role is set to something to force captive portal authentication.
Normally all the traffic, including VPN traffic, will be dropped and a user needs to be authenticated before internet access is available.
Please check the ACL's connected to the initial user role. Can you share the initial role connected to this network?
You find attached to this post the output of the "show rights" command.
In the user-role the ACL logon-control has been attached.
In this ACL the traffic for the service svc-natt is permitted. I suppose that this will allow the VPN traffic.
Because the captiveportal ACL is below the logon-control ACL the VPN traffic is allowed.
The logon-control ACL is default. Maybe you can try to duplicate the logon-control ACL and remove the svc-natt rule to see if this will help.
Thank you, but iven if you delete the Natt rule, this not résolve the issue.
Ok. I don't know why this traffic is allowed.
Can you enable logging the in ACL's to log the ACL hits and see which rule will be used for this traffic?
Use the "show datapath session table <ip.address>" to see what traffic is coming to/from the client while it's connected. This should give you an idea which port(s) the VPN is using, so that you can lock that down as needed.

Do Your Goals Ever Get Past The Strategy Stage?
By Robert Scott January 24, 2014 Comments Off on Do Your Goals Ever Get Past The Strategy Stage?
People love to talk about new ideas. In fact, every January 1st people all over the world sit down and write out "resolutions," things they are going to change or improve in the new year, and most companies do exactly the same thing. The problem with this exercise is it has no meaning. Everyone has the same strategy. Personal resolutions are to improve health, earn more money, and spend more time relaxing. Work resolutions are to improve company moral, find ways to increase sales and profits, provide excellent customer service, and find new markets.
Spending time on strategic planning is a waste of time. This is equally true for people and businesses. The real focus should be on why last year's plan was not followed? The answer to that question is interesting. The reason you did not achieve the goals you set is this—ideas alone cannot change behavior. We are who we are, and when the ice cream calls or we need to make the numbers, determination weakens and old habits of behavior emerge.
To effectively plan for the new year, start by asking, "What do we have the courage to stick with this year?" Reduce the number of goals both personally and professionally. Set only those so that can be achieved.

This is a guest blog from Ian Mace, who is part of The Brexit Team at ABF plc.
Associated British Foods plc (ABF) is a FTSE 100 diversified international food, ingredients and retail group with sales of £13.3bn and over 113,000 employees in 47 countries. The company aims to achieve strong, sustainable leadership positions in markets that offer potential for profitable growth, and to deliver quality products and services that are central to people's lives. The group is split into five segments: Sugar, Agriculture, Retail, Grocery and Ingredients.
In September 2016 - not long after the referendum - I accepted a six month secondment to ABF's head office to work on the possible impacts of Brexit. Fast forward two years later and I'm still here! Initially the role was a relatively analytical one - playing to my strengths as someone with a finance background - myself and the team created several "what if?" scenarios to work out the impact of Brexit on ABF's businesses. This task required a great understanding of the group's export sales and international supply chains, its reliance on EU nationals working in the UK and the impact of EU regulations.
Once we understood the potential impact of the different options for Brexit, it was time to make sure government understood all the implications of their potential actions. This required the development of a common narrative across all of ABF's businesses, approved by the ABF Board, and a plan for who to talk to and when, including various industry and trade bodies. This was initially way outside my comfort zone, but I rapidly learnt that it isn't that different to being a finance business partner. My role is really about helping people understand the financial and commercial consequences of the choices they make and continually updating the various businesses functions about issues and developments. This has involved presenting to the boards of the individual businesses, and to procurement, HR and IT teams. My journey has helped me to grow my network across ABF and has been a great way to learn more about all the different ABF businesses.
More recently the role has expanded again, and I am now effectively an internal ABF consultant advising the individual businesses on their contingency planning for a "no deal" scenario. I have facilitated various workshops and discussions to help the businesses identify the steps that they can take to minimise the risk of disruption to their ability to supply to their customers, both in the UK and overseas.
It has been two years since I took on this role at ABF and it has been an incredibly interesting journey so far. I have learnt a great deal about a wide range of subjects - from the obvious (international trade and immigration) - to the obscure (EU regulation of food products and the Common Agricultural Policy). I have also met a range of government ministers and MPs as well as civil servants, economists and political analysts.
To conclude, we can't yet be sure where the Brexit journey will take us, either as ABF or indeed as a country, but if nothing else it has been a fantastic professional development opportunity for me.

They heard the horse neigh outside the carriage. Keira looked out the window at the busy street with her chin in her hand.
It was Ludwig who spoke first.
Ludwig: "…Since when did you notice?"
Keira: "Since Cosette said she was staying with her mother's family but left her immediate servant in the mansion. I was certain she was planning something by leaving her right hand at home."
She shrugged her shoulders and continued.
Keira: "Well, I was lucky. If Paula hadn't reported the new employee's behavior, I wouldn't have noticed something was up."
Ludwig: "Then you should have questioned the employee right then."
Keira: "The only thing he did wrong was to throw away my old and unused things."
They would use a rather coercive method to make Keira open her mouth, then Keira would look like a person who persecuted an employee for nothing.
In the past, that's how Cosette lured Keira and isolated her in the household.
Keira: "There was nothing I could do until the situation became clear."
It was hard to believe that she immediately had a bad feeling when Cosette left her most trusted servant behind. It seemed she was always on alert.
Ludwig's expression darkened slightly.
Ludwig: "Has this happened before?"
Keira: "Yes."
Ludwig: "Why didn't you tell me? I could have helped."
Keira: "You wouldn't have believed it unless you had proof."
Her voice didn't have a hint of resentment or sadness; She had said it matter-of-fact.
Keira: "I knew this was going to happen the moment Cosette entered the mansion. So, it's fine."
Ludwig: "I… had no idea. I thought you were a little awkward with each other, but I never thought…"
Keira: "You're not very sensitive when it comes to these matters, and you've got a lot on your plate. I'll take care of it myself. If you will listen to my explanations when I am framed in the future, that is enough."
With that, Keira closed her eyes.
Seeing his daughter's exhausted expression, Ludwig couldn't say anything.
He opened his mouth a few times, trying to say something, but eventually stopped.
How many times has she been through this? When did she start worrying about what would happen?
Seeing how tired she looked made his guilt heavier, so Ludwig turned to gaze out the window where he could see the splendid scenery of downtown.
However, his mouth didn't loosen throughout the carriage ride.
The amethyst brooch in question was safely delivered to Zeke.
With a gift box in one hand, Zeke looked into her eyes and said.
Zeke: "Thank you for the gift. By the way, noonim."
Keira: "Hmm?"
Zeke: "His Grace seems to be in a terrible mood. Did something happen?"
When they arrived, Ludwig went upstairs without acknowledging the employees' greetings.
If that was it, Zeke wouldn't have looked twice.
But when he saw the dark clouds over his face, he figured something must have happened.
Keira: "Someone tried to ruin my reputation. I think he took it as an attack on our family."
Zeke: "Who did?"
Keira: "Countess Rheol."
Zeke: "Why would that person…?"
Zeke's gaze shifted to the ceiling as he tried to recall her face, but no one came to mind, no matter how much he pondered on it.
He couldn't think of a time when they interacted with one another, at least not enough to build a grudge. Why would she go against such a family?
After thinking for a while, he soon found the answer. As the heir to their family, he memorized the genealogy of every prominent aristocratic family.
Zeke: "Ah, the Countess is from the Weinberg family."
Keira: "That's right. You remember."
Zeke: "Then it's obvious who ordered it, isn't it?" I think it's easy to leave it alone, but at this point, it's just…!"
Keira: "But there's no direct evidence. Not unless the Countess admits someone told her to do it."
Zeke: "So you were attacked first; are you going to sit quietly?"
Keira: "There's nothing I can do. Countess Rheol vehemently insisted what she did had nothing to do with the Weinberg family. She even said she'd offer her head if they found evidence to refute her statement."
Just when Zeke thought it was more suspicious for the Countess to say such a thing, he saw a sly smile on his sister's lips.
Ah, she didn't sit still after all.
With a chuckle, he asked.
Zeke: "So, what happened?"
Keira: "The punishment for the Countess has not yet been decided. Still, as a high-ranking aristocrat, isn't it just a formal procedure to go through a trial?"
As long as she committed the crime of Imperial deception, it seemed impossible to escape safely, no matter what excuse she made.
Keira retired to her room after telling her brother she was off to rest.
She'd been on alert the whole day and was completely exhausted.
'I don't have anything urgent to do right now…'
She should go to bed early today.
Keira slept soundly and woke up to find a messenger had arrived from the Imperial Palace.
In order to proceed with the trial, they needed the testimonies of the witnesses present at the scene, so the letter that came was from the Investigation Bureau asking her to cooperate, even if it was
cumbersome.
Rose, who woke her up, said apologetically.
Rose: "It's probably a request from the Imperial Palace… It's inconvenient, but you should go, milady."
Keira: "I guess so."
Her body still felt sluggish from sleeping, but she had no choice but to go.
After changing clothes, Keira headed straight to the Imperial Palace.
Keira wondered what happened to Cosette right after the incident, but no one in the mansion knew.
'I'll probably find out when I get to the palace.'
It was none other than Erez who greeted her when she arrived with her vague expectations.
He waved at her as he leaned back on the sofa of the Bureau of Investigation building.
Erez: "It's been exactly sixteen hours."
Keira: "What are you doing here?"
Erez: "Why, for the same reason as you."
That was a stupid question. Keira's face turned slightly red.
Erez: "They asked me to come and testify, so I knew I had to go. I think I'll only clear my name if I pay back as much as I screwed up. Am I right?"
He seemed to be aware that he had screwed up.
Keira coughed slightly in embarrassment and spoke, not used to apologizing.
Keira: "Ahem, I apologize for getting you caught up out of nowhere."
Erez: "What are you talking about?"
Wrinkles formed on Erez's forehead. He leaned forward towards Keira.
Erez: "If I hadn't dealt with it in advance, you would have been falsely accused, wouldn't you? It must have been something he was trying to do with me. It's because I've brought in someone."
Keira: "Aah, is that it…"
A strange smile spread across his face.
Erez: "It's not necessarily like that. In order to undermine your honor, they must have wanted to attack me, too."
Keira tilted her head and asked.
Keira: "Did you do anything to Cosette?"
Erez: "She might be mad at me because we seem close."
At first glance, it sounded like a pretty plausible reason.
She needed to have the noble ladies on her side so that the person who resisted her temptations wouldn't look good.
Keira: "So she was planning to mess with the two of us?"
Erez: "Seems like it."
Obsessing over petty grudges wasn't the Cosette she knew.
Just look at Lira, who threw a big blow against Cosette. Lira was still working for the grand duchy.
'If it's about being offended, shouldn't Lira be higher on her hit list? At least Erez doesn't stick around me and doesn't act as my limb.'
Keira: "By the way, I have one more question."
Erez: "What?"
Keira: "Are you really…"
Keira glanced around for a moment, then continued in a low voice.
Keira: "Do you really like men?"
Erez: "Of course, I don't!"
Erez replied, flabbergasted. He almost jumped out of his seat.
But Keira was just as astounded.
Keira: "Then, did you lie just for the sole reason of not wanting to get married?"
Erez: "Why? It was effective, wasn't it? The problem I had been struggling with for days was solved in 30 seconds."
Keira: "No, what the… How are you going to deal with the consequences?"
Erez: "Well, I'm a little worried, but I don't think they'll kill me, right? The worst they can do is take me out of the family registry. It's fine. Even without their support, I can live well on my own."
Keira had nothing to say. She could only think about his parents, who were probably having a hard time.
As she stared at him in despair, two investigators walked into the lobby.

The subtle homophobia in the
""Of course, I don't!" Erez replied, flabbergasted. He almost jumped out of his seat."
Is staggering. Why does homosexuality have to be such a taboo that the suggestion of it elicits such a strong response? Why does he feel the need to say "of course?" That suggests that either a) he does not believe he portrays "gay" characteristics, so is baffled at MC's question or b) feels like his masculinity is under attack, and thus must respond strongly to refute the idea that he may be gay.

This isn't modern times homosexuality has JUST been accepted I find it annoying how people will always accuse others of homophobia bcs their hetero and say just one thing

Q: How to add objects to an array in React and redux I am working on a form that takes an order from customers and I am using React Redux to manage my state. There is an array of object named items where I add the items of the order to it. Every item is an object of 4 properties (name, quantity, price, instructions). And here is how I handle my form :
for (let i = 0; i < numOfItems; i++) {
        rows.push(

ITEM #{i + 1}

                    <Button onClick={() => removeItem(i)}>Remove Item</Button>

                    <FormGroup className="col-md-6">
                        Item Name
                        <Input type="text" name="name" onChange={setFormValue} value={form.items.name} />
                    </FormGroup>
                    <FormGroup className="col-md-6">
                        QTY
                        <Input type="number" name="quantity" onChange={setFormValue} value={form.items.quantity} />
                    </FormGroup>

                    <FormGroup className="col-md-6">
                        Price
                        <Input type="number" name="price" onChange={setFormValue} value={form.items.price} />
                    </FormGroup>
                    <FormGroup className="col-md-6">
                        Special Instructions
                        <Input type="text" name="special_instructions" onChange={setFormValue} value={form.items.special_instructions} />
                    </FormGroup>

        )
    };

This is the redux action that takes the input :
export function setFormValue(field) {
    console.log("FIELD", field.target.value)
    return function (dispatch) {
        dispatch({ type: types.SET_FORM_VALUE, payload: field })
    };
}

This is my reducer function where I am handling the part of the items in the form:
 if (action.payload.target.name === "items") {
                let cloneditems = [...state.form.items];
                cloneditems.push(action.payload.target.value);
                return {
                    ...state,
                    form: {
                        ...state.form,
                        items: cloneditems
                    }
                };
            }

What I am planning to do is to add an item object and push it to the items array every time I add an item with its details in my form. Yet, it adds them outside the items array not inside it as an object. Can anyone help me with this part as it consumes a lot of time and I cannot make it? Here is a link to my project if you want to have a look :
https://codesandbox.io/s/hopeful-williamson-nvqx9?file=/src/redux/reducer.js
and here is an example of what I am planning to get :
form : {
     user :[{
          name: "",
          quantity:"",
          price:"",
          instructions:""
     }]
}

Moreover, this is my reducer initial state :
const initialState = {
    form: {
        pickup_address: {},
        delivery_address: {},
        items: [{
            index: 0,
            name: "",
            quantity: 0,
            price: 0,
            special_instructions: ""
        }]
    },
    numOfItems: 0,
};

Any help ?!

A: It would be great if post CodeSandbox link,
I just posted simple way to add objects to an array, Maybe helpful.

var myArray = ["Red", "Green", "Blue"];
myArray.push("Yellow");

var myObject = {id: 1, name: "Amoos", class: 10};

myArray.push(myObject);

console.log(myArray)

As an owner of a motorcycle shop I have been ordering motorcycles and motorcycle parts for a very long time know. I opened my shop back in the days when the internet was not even around yet and it took some getting used to for me to get around the ordering online thing. But once I did, I was sold! This was the easiest thing to do and the best thing was: all of the sudden I could place orders anywhere in the world. My shop is located in Belgium and I always ordered the motorcycles for my shop at a company that was located close by. Not because the product they were selling were so good, but just because they were close. Of course this was easy, but I would much rather be able to sell the best motorcycles possible. At some point, someone gave me the advice to have a look at the website of the company Double R Trading. They said, I would definitely be interested in it. The same night, when I sat behind my computer I had a look at the website and they were not wrong. This was certainly an amazing website and company. But did I really wanted to import motorcycles? At that point I was not so sure about that.
Of course I was interested in top-rate quality motorcycles, especially for the price that they were offering them for, but was it really a good decision to import motorcycles when I had a perfectly good shop nearby? I could not stop thinking about doublertrading.com and their motorcycles though, so I decided to give it a shot!
To be honest, it was one of the best decision I ever made. It is really easy to import motorcycles. Especially when you do place the order on the website of Double R Trading. Not only in the department of motorcycles do they give you the best of the best. When it comes to their service, it gets even better. They definitely know what they are doing and they will make sure to make it as easy as possible for you. There are also no surprises when it comes to the total price of your order. What you see is what you get. By now, to import motorcycles is no longer a question for me, it is a given. I would not want to have it any other way. It is so easy to import motorcycles and I just love the service that they provide at Double R Trading. Say, for example, that you are looking for a specific type of motorcycle. One that is hard to find and even on the website of Double R Trading you have not seen it yet? You would think that it will not be possible to order it? Well, think again! The people at Double R Trading will go a long way to get you what you want.
On their website they write that they sell top-rate quality motorcycles and this is definitely true. This is one of the reasons I have never stopped to import motorcycles. Their quality is just too good! I have even told my competition about this website and the amazing company. They are just that good. I would never go back to another shop. Everything I want and need they have at Double R Trading. Just the way I like it!


I like that I really care about other people and their well-being. I have found that I tend to be someone who consistently cares for others and their emotions and what they are going through.
I'm proud that I am putting myself out there by posting about my passion for beauty via Instagram, this blog, and my Facebook page. I used to be really afraid of what others thought of me (which I think I still do in a sense, its human nature) but I have found an inner peace with myself and a passion I really want to share with others.
I am starting to love myself as an independent person. I used to have many friends, and I have pushed myself away from almost all of them based on personal reasons, but also reasons I've never fully been sure of. I struggled with this all the time and still do, as it is really hard for me to have trusting friendships. But I think I have come to terms with the fact that I do actually like being alone, and the right friends will come along in time, if they do. Right now, some people may not be in my life for reason, or if others don't try as much as I do, then perhaps it is okay to let go. I have allowed myself to be independent and try and love myself.
I love that I know who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I consider myself young still, but I have truly found someone who makes me a better person and someone I love spending my time with! I'm so happy with this person, and I'm really blessed to love him and have him love me in return.
I love the education I have received. It has been quite a maze to get to where I am and where I would like to be career wise, but I honestly have learned a lot, and I don't think I would have if it weren't for the maze I walked through.
I love that I've started connecting with people more through blogging! I was so scared to start my blog, and there are many things about the blogging world I have not discovered yet, but I really love it! I really like that something I review can impact someone and it is so heartwarming when people reach out to me and say they have tried something I have recommended and it has worked out for them!
Trying not to use negativity/comparisons–I hate my peanut/nut allergy BUT I have come to love it in some aspects. The reason for this is that I think I am much more open minded and cautious when it comes to my safety and also others.In everyday life, I find myself much more aware of people's troubles and I really try and accommodate for everyone, as I know what it feels like.
I like that I sleep a lot. Haha. I really, really enjoy napping.
I like that I have started opening up a bit more. It is difficult to explain..but I've self-harmed in the past and have been really depressed. I reached out and got help..and now, with medication I honestly feel so much better. Medication isn't always the answer, and I'm not always happy by any means, but it really has helped me. I can actually wake up every day and get out of bed, which is actually a really big accomplishment for me now.
I can't wait to see your posts on what you all love about yourselves!
Yay, thank you! ❤ 🙂 and of course!
Thank you so much for your friendship Jess!

Women's retreat emphasizes abiding in Christ
Abiding is more than just a biblical concept. For the believer in Jesus, it's a way of life.
"Today our world and culture tell us to do anything but abide," said Ashley Allen, senior consultant for Embrace Women's Evangelism and Discipleship ministry of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, to a gathering of more than 300 women during the 2019 N.C. Baptist Women's Retreat. "[Christ] is all-sufficient, and we can rest in Him."
"Abide" was the theme for this year's retreat, which drew more than 300 women from across the state to Caraway Conference Center and Camp near Asheboro on Oct. 25-26. Over the course of the two-day event, attendees explored what it means to abide through times of worship, large-group session, breakout sessions, fellowship and prayer.
The theme was based on John 15:5 which says, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."
Betsy Bolick, founder of Small Enough Ministries in Boone, served as the event's keynote speaker. In her opening session, Bolick examined four of the seven "I Am" statements of Jesus from the Gospel of John in which He explains that He is the "Light," "the Bread of Life," "the Good Shepherd" and "the True Vine."
"The world wants to tell you that you're the vine," Bolick said. "That all the power is in you, that all the hope is in you. We tell our girls, 'Go, do, and be,' and some of that is not bad; but 'Go, do, and be for the glory of God and in the power of His Holy Spirit.'"
Bolick reminded attendees that abiding means spending time with God in prayer and Scripture reading to recognize who He is.
In a later session, Bolick shared that not only must we abide in Christ, but that for those who believe, God dwells in them. She also encouraged listeners to remember that they are at war with the powers of this world.
"Our baptism did not drown our flesh," said Bolick, adding that our only hope is to remain in Jesus.
Meg Barnes, who serves in the worship ministry at Providence Baptist Church in Raleigh, led worship during the main sessions. Barnes' powerful vocals, accompanied by Hannah Nelson on vocals and guitar along with Patty Hart on piano, led women in powerful, moving hymns and songs of praise.
"You can only find happiness in the Lord, and He was so present here."
Supplementing the main teaching and worship sessions, the retreat offered several breakout sessions. Those sessions, led by ministry leaders from across North Carolina, featured more than a dozen options for women to learn practical methods for applying the principle of abiding in their everyday lives.
Harriet Page, who made the trip from Knightdale and has been a regular event attendee through the years, said she particularly appreciated the breakout session offerings.
"My favorites have been the breakout sessions because you get to pick something that's very specific to what you are struggling with or what you're already studying in the Word," Page said.
Leena Bess and Melanie Whitesides, two women who came together from near Lincolnton, echoed the same sentiment.
Bess attended a breakout session titled "Abiding in the Vine Through the Storm," which was led by Ashley Reffit, women's discipleship director at The Summit Church's campus in Garner. Reffit, a cancer survivor, sought to encourage women in how to trust God in difficult circumstances.
"Her story was just phenomenal," Bess said.
Several women noted how thankful they were to have the opportunity to get away from the demands of life and spend time with God and other women during the retreat. From young mothers to empty nesters, the prevailing sentiment was articulated by Donna Carter, an attendee from Franklinton.
"You can only find happiness in the Lord, and He was so present here," Carter said.
Carter added how much she appreciated being around other women in a spirit of worship and rest, noting that the conference motivated her to "be in awe of God every single day of my life."
Retreat planners concluded the event by announcing the theme of next year's retreat, which will be "In the Secret." The 2020 N.C. Baptist Women's Retreat will return to Caraway Conference Center and Camp next year on Oct. 23-24. Registration will open June 1 at embracenc.org/secret20.

Q: Reading python pickle data before writing it to a file Background:
Hi. I'm currently working on a project that mainly relies on Pickles to save the state of objects I have. Here is a code snippet of two functions I've written:
from Kiosk import *                         #The main class used for the lockers
import gc                                   #Garbage Collector library. Used to get all instances of a class
import pickle                               #Library used to store variables in files.

def storeData(Lockers:Locker):
    with open('lockerData', 'wb') as File:
        pickle.dump(Lockers, File)

def readData():
    with open('lockerData', 'rb') as File:
        return pickle.load(File)

This pickle data will eventually be sent and received from a server using the Sockets library.
I've done some reading on the topic of Pickles and it seems like everyone agrees that pickles can be quite dangerous to use in some use cases as it's relatively easy to get them to execute unwanted code.
Objective:
For the above mentioned reasons I want to encrypt my pickle data in AES before writing it to the Pickle File, that way the pickle file is always encrypted even when sent and received form the server. My main problem now is, I don't know how to get the pickle data without writing it to the Pickle file first. pickle.dump() only allows me to write the pickle data to a file but doesn't allow me to get this pickle data straight away.
If I decide to do encryption after the pickle data has already been written to the file that would mean that there would be a period of time where the pickle data is stored in plain text, and I don't want that to happen.
Psudocode:
Here is how I'm expecting the task execution to flow:
PickleData = createPicle(Lockers)
PickleDataE = encrypt(PickleData)

with open('textfile.txt', 'wb') as File:
     File.write(PickleDataE)

Question:
So my question is, how can I get the pickle data without writing it to a file?

A: You can store the pickle data to file as the encrypted data itself. When you read the encrypted data, you decrypt it to a variable. If you wrap that variable in an io.StringIO object, you can read it just like you do from a file, except it's in memory now. IF you give that a try, i'm sure future questions can help with how to read the decrypted data as if it were pickle data.
