Q: Powershell get-date in 1st,2nd,2rd,4th Formats I am trying to format a date in PowerShell as DayOfWeek Month Day(st|nd|rd|th) year format.
(Get-Date).AddDays(+1).ToString('D')

The output is "Tuesday, July 05, 2016"
but need it in this format: Tuesday July 5th 2016
if date(Get-Date) % 100 IN (11, 12, 13) THEN 'th'
    if (Get-Date) % 10 = 1 THEN 'st'
    if (Get-Date) % 10 = 2 THEN 'nd'
    if (Get-Date) % 10 = 3 THEN 'rd'

A: One possible solution could look like this
function Get-DateOrdinalSuffix([datetime]$Date) {
    switch -regex ($Date.Day.ToString()) {
        '1(1|2|3)$' { 'th'; break }
        '.?1$'      { 'st'; break }
        '.?2$'      { 'nd'; break }
        '.?3$'      { 'rd'; break }
        default     { 'th'; break }
    }
}

$d = (Get-Date).AddDays(1)
$suffix = Get-DateOrdinalSuffix $d
$dateFormatted = "{0} {1:MMMM} {2}{3} {4}" -f $d.DayOfWeek, $d, $d.Day, $suffix, $d.Year

A: Another solution without using regex to get the day suffix:
function Get-DaySuffix
{
    Param(
        [System.DateTime]$date
    )

    switch ($date.Day)
    {
        {$_ -in 1,21,31} { 'st'}
        {$_ -in 2,22} { 'nd'}
        {$_ -in 3,23} { 'rd'}
        Default {'th'}
    }
}

$date = (Get-Date).AddDays(1)
$output = $date.ToString('dddd MMMM d yyyy', [CultureInfo]::CreateSpecificCulture('en-US'))
$output -replace '( \d{4})$', ('{0}$1'-f (Get-DaySuffix $date))

Output:
Tuesday July 5th 2016

Q: Lion not responding to mouse clicks over VNC Under Snow Leopard, I had no problems with VNC connections from my Windows 7 64-bit PC to my Mac mini. However, after upgrading to Lion, my Mac mini no longer responds to mouse clicks when using any VNC client on my PC. Oddly, the local cursor is moving and the Mac also responds to keyboard events - I just can't click anything.
I have enabled Screen Sharing/Remote Management and enabled VNC in System Preferences (obviously) and have checked Observe -> Control in the settings.
Has anyone experienced this or have a possible fix/suggestion? Any help is greatly appreciated.

A: This is a very popular issue. VNC server is not the only thing that has problem working with Lion.
I think the problem stems from the fact that; Lion can handle multiple user connections. So to make it work, you need to logout of your Mac first then try connecting remotely. More information in this forum..

Q: Where in my ViewController do I put initializing code? I'm trying to add a FittedSheet (Repo) to my app, and in their Usage explanation, they just have this chunk of code with no further explanation regarding where to put it.
let controller = MyViewController()

let sheetController = SheetViewController(controller: controller)

// It is important to set animated to false or it behaves weird currently
self.present(sheetController, animated: false, completion: nil)

I want to know where that code is supposed to go so I can include the basic version of a FittedSheet in my app. Any input would be greatly appreciated, I'm new to swift and have all the backend data in my app working but am struggling to display it.

A: MyViewController() is a controller name whose data need to be present using the FittedSheet library.
Let me take an example.
In the below example, i create customSheetController in my project. I design UI in storyboard and create a swift class for same.
customSheetController storyboard UI
Below is customSheetController swift class syntax
class customSheetController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    }
}

In some another viewcontroller class, open that sheet on collection view item click.
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        if let sheetView = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "customSheetController") as? customSheetController {
           let sheetController = SheetViewController(controller: sheetView)

            // It is important to set animated to false or it behaves weird currently
            self.present(sheetController, animated: false, completion: nil)
        }
    }

In the above example i opened a sheet on collection view item click, you can add above code on button event or any event from where you want to open that sheet.
another example
Let me take another example, suppose you have two viewcontroller class in your project lets say A and B. You want to present A controller over B controller. Then you need to modify the code as below.
In B controller class, suppose you want to present A controller on button click then you can write below code on the button click event
let controller = A()

let sheetController = SheetViewController(controller: controller)

self.present(sheetController, animated: false, completion: nil)


Music everywhere with portable iPod, iPhone dock from Altec Lansing.
Should I buy the Altec Lansing inMotion Compact iMT320?
The Altec Lansing inMotion Compact iMT320 dock is a good choice for anyone who travels or enjoys music in every room in the house without the need for additional speakers everywhere. Compact and relatively light, it produces a perfectly respectable sound from such a small unit that is big on detail and bass.
The Altec Lansing inMotion Compact iMT320 for iPod and iPhone is one of a small number of docks aimed at both home users and those who like to take their music with them. It comes with a mains adaptor and room for four AA batteries, which while adding weight, does offer portability and playability when you are far from home or even in the garden enjoying the sun.
The inMotion Compact comes with a novel wraparound travel case that can also protect the unit when not in use. Users simply place the soft leather-like case in an arc behind the dock to create a stand. As the cover is fixed you won't need to send out a search party to find it when do plan a trip. Overall, the dock is stylish with just three controls for power and volume up and down. A yellow LED power indicator glows in the dark, so if you fancy some late night listening, in bed for instance, this may be a distraction.
Good looks are matched with decent sound that is pleasantly rich and detailed considering the modest size and price. In the press release Altec Lansing highlight the front firing ports, which the company claims helps enhance low-end sound. The makers also promise excellent bass response, which in reality isn't far off from the hype, although there are no additional bass and treble controls for those who like to pump it up.
For iPhone users the music automatically pauses during incoming calls and, like many docks, charges iPhone or iPod while powered. The dock comes with a range of iPod adaptors and 3.5mm jack input for second device connection, including computers, CD, DVD, and non-Apple MP3 players. The diminutive size - just 4 inches tall, 9.6 inches wide and 1.8 inches thick - means you should be able to find space for the iMT320 dock just about anywhere.

Fr Georges Massouh: Let us not be Firewood!
Let Us not be Firewood!
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser... you are the branches" (John 15:1,5). No doubt, by the Parable of the Vine and the Branches, Jesus intended to "explain to us the importance of love that is connected to Him and the measure of what we gain by being united to Him. Therefore He says that He is the vine as a lesson and a parable. The branches represent those who are united to Him, tied to Him, attached to Him, and who share in His nature by their acquisition of the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Saint Cyril of Alexandria).
"Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away, and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit" (John 15:2). Saint Cyril warns the faithful about not tying faith to works and says, "[If we content ourselves with] bare, abstract confessions of faith, without holding it with the bond of unity to courageous works springing forth from Love, then we will be dead and fruitless branches. Faith without works is dead, as the Holy Apostle James says [in his Catholic Epistle 2:20]. So if the branch remains attached to the vine without fruit, know that such a person shall face the shears of the vinedresser. He will cut him off and throw him into the fire, like useless trash." Clement of Alexandria (d. 216) says, "The vine that is not pruned becomes firewood. Such is the state of man. The word is a sword [yes, in the Holy Gospel, the sword symbolizes the word of God] that cleanses the deformation of the branches and drives the soul to bear fruit and to not be absorbed in pleasures."
The sole condition of the bond of unity between Christians is "piety and holiness," not any other worldly thing. Therefore, Cyril himself says, "Christ wants His disciples to be garbed in unity of thought and will and to be united in soul and spirit by the bonds of peace and love for one another. He wants them to enjoy an inseparable and indissoluble unity, that their wills might not resemble that which is in the world, attached to seeking pleasures, but that they maintain the power of love in the unity of piety and holiness." Christian unity must not eliminate diversity, following the model of the Most Holy Trinity, where there is unity in diversity and diversity in unity.
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me" (John 15:4). Blessed Augustine (d. 430) says, "One who thinks that he bears fruit of himself and not from the vine is not a Christian.... Those who say 'We are righteous of ourselves'... This is the height of pride."
In view of the difficult circumstances through which our countries are passing, we must cite the words of Saint Justin Martyr (d. 165), the philosopher who was born in Palestine, as through he were addressing them to us, so that we might face these circumstances steadfast in faith. Justin says, "It is clear that no one is able to terrify and subjugate those of us throughout the world who believe in Christ. Despite our being beheaded, crucified, cast to wild beasts, chains and fire and every other type of torment, we do not abandon our confession. It is clear that the more these things happen, those who are pious before God increase in the name of Jesus. If someone severs parts from a fruitful vine, it will sprout more branches, flourishing and bearing fruit. This very thing is what happens to us. The vine that Christ our God and Savior planted is His people."
Justin's words come true if Christians remain faithful to their Lord and His teachings and if their unity is not based on plans that contradict their Gospel principles. Christian unity is either based on faithfulness to Jesus Christ or you should call it something else.

Posted in Government and tagged glamour, mockingjay, propaganda on June 23, 2014 by Jeb Kinnison. 2 Comments
I recently read and reviewed Virginia Postrel's excellent The Power of Glamour, in which she touches on the issues of positive and negative uses of glamour in persuasion — advertising, propaganda, entertainment and branding. She is primarily interested in defining glamour and determining how it is produced by the careful editing of reality to cast a spell on susceptible audiences that has the power to motivate actions — from purchases, to career choices, and even emigration and warfare.
I recently wrote my own book, Bad Boyfriends, which addresses an analogous phenomenon — limerence, or being "in love," a powerful neurochemical-emotional state that also casts a spell over the observer.
Of course the typical glamours of fashion photography, Hollywood star photographs, or cinema adventures are today so common that most observers are largely immune to their effects — while caught in the spell and enjoying temporary immersion in it, they know it is neither real nor readily attainable. But the effect of both glamour and limerence depends on the susceptibility of the observer, and the construction of a dream of the future self by either glamorous presentations or a few sightings and encounters with the object of limerence can become obsessive for the observer who is starving for that dream.
And as with glamour, age and experience reduce limerence's power. While a young person might give up his home and job to pursue either a dream career or the fantasy mate, the older and wiser have seen this play before, and know how to enjoy the fantasy and pursue it a little while not irrationally sacrificing the advantages of their current life.
Postrel writes, "Glamour fuels dissatisfaction with the here and now, even as it makes present difficulties easier to endure by suggesting the existence of better alternatives…. By tendering the promise of escape and transformation, glamour feeds on both hope and hardship." So one's already drab, boring life looks even worse by comparison, if you are say a German young man around 1900 reading the then-popular Western pulp novels (like those of Karl May); but then you start to obsess over your plan to escape to the Klondike to strike it rich in the new gold rush, and you have goal to work toward and a plan that fills your heart with joy in anticipation. The writer Karl May had never visited the West or met a cowboy, but he still spun an illusion strong enough to motivate thousands.
Similarly, limerence has launched its victims toward both achievement and destruction, sometimes both. Postrel cites Helen of Troy as one of the earliest documented cases of glamour, and it could be said that her power was to induce limerence in nearly everyone who observed her, leading to her kidnapping, war, and the destruction of Troy.
So we come to the question that every sensitive person whose job is to persuade via glamour in advertising or marketing considers: is what I am doing moral? When I create a glamour, I am setting a trap for the susceptible members of my audience that will create inside their heads a persuasive and persistent model of a future they dream of being part of. As always in persuasion, to feel that it is moral one must have a sense that on the whole you are doing those who are persuaded a favor; that they will be better off having purchased that new BMW or party dress, or taking up a career in the Navy.
Critics of persuasion by glamour can cite many examples where slick advertising and presentations caused victims to do harm to themselves — as mild as buying something they did not need and did not use, in which case they traded some money for a brief sense of pleasure in the having of the object. Or as serious as the spell cast over many of the German people by the Nazis using filmed propaganda, with revived pseudoclassical symbols and theories of Aryan mysticism, to justify their expansion and the demonization of "subhumans."
Similarly, Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, the "father of PR," (and father of my Harvard fiction writing teacher!), began the use of mass market persuasion techniques that included what today would be called "viral marketing," by creating images and narratives designed to be picked up by the mass media and so persuade millions through a combination of advertising and free publicity. His "Torches of Freedom" campaign, which in hindsight seems evil, used a staged demonstration of actresses pretending to be freedom-fighting women demanding the freedom to smoke cigarettes. The National Post comments:
On Easter Sunday, 1929, about a dozen female socialites marched along Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, ostentatiously smoking cigarettes. Their mission: to fight the stigma against public smoking for women. According to The New York Times, the women insisted that they weren't holding mere cigarettes but "torches of freedom."
The march was choreographed by Vienna-born PR pioneer Edward Bernays, then on retainer with the American Tobacco Company. The story is vintage Bernays: a quintessential example of his knack for manipulating public opinion with evocative images and phrases. Bernays had learned from his uncle, Sigmund Freud, that people were basically irrational, driven by instincts. The enterprising nephew unabashedly exploited this insight, appealing to emotions and not intellect whether he was selling Ivory Soap or Calvin Coolidge. The approach revolutionized consumer culture.
Bernays influenced political communication, too. He was dismayed to learn that his 1923 book, Crystallizing Public Opinion, was in Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels' bookcase. Still, in another context, Bernays would likely have approved of Goebbels' claim, that "in the long run basic results in influencing public opinion will be achieved only by the man who is able to reduce problems to the simplest terms and who has the courage to keep forever repeating them in this simplified form, despite the objections of the intellectuals." Both men knew well: The public opinion battlefield is the heart, not the head.
If we are thinking morally, this is usually where we get off the persuasion bus. Let's suppose that we believe what we want to persuade the public to do will be good for them, on the whole; but we are going to elide the details that might "complicate" their evaluation of our proposals, leaving out the real-life problems that may come up, and make simplified assertions that anyone who understands the situation well will know cannot possibly be the whole truth.
And, voilà! Obamacare!
By a series of steps it is possible to convince an otherwise well-meaning and honest person (or entire political party) that lying over and over again to persuade people to give you permission to spend a trillion dollars on a complex program (too complex, it turns out, to actually be executed well or as planned) that benefits a few people a lot, somewhat more people a little, and harms the balance, sometimes significantly. A billion dollars was spent on duplicative software, mostly wasted; hundreds of millions more on advertising which also left out any significant problems the plan might create for some; and hundreds of millions of dollars more on foot soldiers to promote and assist (and remind the beneficiaries who gave them the gift.) The President was an unusually glamourous figure and supported by both Hollywood and the glamour of rhetoric and dream-spinning. But alas, behind the glamour there was a lack of competence in execution, despite good intentions.
Destruction comes to those who believe the glamour they have spun around themselves. To make this a nonpartisan roasting, note the Bush administration in Iraq, who very successfully used the US' competent and overwhelming military to bring down Saddam Hussein in only a few days with the least loss of life and property of any major war in history. Hubris was achieved shortly thereafter, when the occupation dismantled existing police and government functions to (they thought) create a brand new government and society based on US models of representative government and modern freedoms. The resulting chaos and civil war more than wiped out any advantage gained for either the US or the Iraqi people. Good intentions did not magically create good results.
The greater the risk being taken with the audience's lives or fortunes, the less justifiable is any misleading persuasive technique, including glamour. We should always be asking, "What if I am wrong? What is the downside of what I want them to do if they are not successful? How painful and destructive is disillusionment from the illusion I am trying to create?"
This article from MarketingProfs discusses the new world of marketing where there are so many sources of information and eager writers among the public that creation of lying spin is much harder (despite the example of Obamacare, which was enabled by a certain uniformity of background — and lack of economic knowledge — of most media reporters.) To quote:
Today, people who want to make great stories can use technology to influence public perception, rather than shape public perception around a lie. Think of it like this: Consumers no longer buy out of a fear of not having something; they buy because the product has the potential to enhance their personal story. Progressive marketing companies such as SHIFT Communications and TGPR talk more about how we make and share real stories—rather than "tell" them.
Dreams of being beautiful and admired (fashion, cosmetics, jewelry…) or powerful, wealthy, and admired (luxury cars, watches, ski houses in Aspen…), competent and skilled and admired (Olympic athletes, dancers, musicians…) are all worthy. One question to ask when you are spinning up a glamour aimed at young people is: how many of them can actually achieve it? Say you have written a script about a ghetto kid who takes up basketball and makes it to the big leagues, suffers one crisis when he takes his new position and love interest for granted, and (heartwarmingly) learns to wisely value those who care for him. What happens to the kids who focus on basketball and neglect other things? While we know most will be disappointed, we also know any kind of focus on achievement is better than no focus. What are the offramps along the way for those who fail to get the brass ring? Going to a good school on a scholarship gives the kid a chance to pick up other skills and find other dreams. Being on a team and showing up regularly for practice teaches the most important skills of holding any job.
It's clear that people need their dreams, and glamour can lead them in directions they did not expect or know of, but were ready for. The mass marketing of glamour has accelerated the dissatisfaction with what is, and the motivation to create the "what ifs" we call progress. The increasing availability of information uncontrolled by one or a few sources means the future is being created by a glamour with more realism, tucked just out of sight but known to be there. But it can still excite the mind and make the heart beat faster, and move the dreamer to take the chance on the dream.

The Power of Glamour
Power of Glamour
The Power of Glamour, by Virginia Postrel.
One of the duties of our public intellectuals is to mine the culture for fresh new ways of seeing and describing the world, bringing together seemingly disparate examples and finding regularities and order in what had only been vaguely understood before. Virginia Postrel has been at this for years, and her latest work is a wonderful read that will help anyone in design, advertising, photography, publicity, or any of the arts of persuasion understand at a deeper level how this dream-making works.
When I was living in Vancouver, I had a friend — Clark Candy, a cousin of John Candy's — who had recently moved from Toronto after a career in advertising. A motorcycle accident had crushed his knee, and during the long rehab process he decided not to go back to work in advertising, which he felt had little meaning — persuading people to buy things they did not need by trickery and slick lies, eliding ugly realities. He later went on to help produce glamorous TV productions like Once Upon a Time, so he ended up doing much the same work as he did before; perhaps if he had read this book then he might have seen more meaning in his advertising work. Mad Men's Don Draper is a character who creates glamours for a living, and is himself a crafted image hiding a troubled soul; but without glamour and aspiration, life would be drained of the spur to progress and self-actualization of these imagined futures.
Glamour, she writes, exists between the viewer and the viewed. It is a subjective illusion of an effortless life, a higher and better self that you might become if only you could put yourself into the picture. A glamour is a spell, like a reverie or dream of your future created by images and ideas. She points out that glamour has always existed — Homer's epics recited in ancient Greece produced yearnings for lives of heroism and unforced grace in listeners not dissimilar to today's comic book heroes; artists were commissioned to create paintings of idealized existences to reinforce and inspire the real models, as well as present their favored image to others.
But the enormous increase in mass-produced imagery in the last century has given glamour a new importance, as more and more high-powered images are present in even the poorest people's lives. Like any tool of persuasion, glamour can be used for good (inspiring young people to work toward careers they might otherwise have never achieved) or ill (politicians use glamour in propaganda — Nazis, Italian fascists, and the USSR, for example.)
With a wealth of examples, the reader is able to make generalizations and follow along as she lays out a new vocabulary for discussing glamour: Sprezzatura, the effortless grace of achievement, a stylish performance without apparent sweat or concern (which of course conceals endless practice and polishing;) theatrical grace, the kind of glamour produced by the artifice of hiding the effort to produce it behind the stage scenery; darkroom grace, created by editing and eliding the flaws and selection of what to leave out (as of a photo) to produce an image with the emotional power to fuel a dream unencumbered by the details of its production.
She casts her net wide in the cultural landscape and brings in examples from every part of high and low culture: Hollywood, comic book heroes, cowboys, Gibson Girls, Star Trek, Princess Di, Che Guevara, Helen of Troy and Achilles, theater, industrial design, Mad Men, and Apple. The examples and photographs are delightful and consistently entertaining.
The hardcover itself is an example: perfectly laid out, a sensual pleasure to read and feel. I rarely read anything but ebooks these days, but for this work about a primarily visual phenomenon, the hardcover is the wise choice. It's the ideal coffee table book.

I started watching Mad Men two months ago, and have caught up: 69 episodes taking us from 1960 to 1968. The writing is excellent, and it's addictive in the same sense Six Feet Under was, characters developed over long story arcs with the addictiveness of a soap opera but at a very high level.
One of the themes is the key question, "Is that what you want to do, or is that what you think is expected of you?" At the start of the timeline in 1960, women in the office have influence but no authority; they are treated like serfs and expected to marry out of careers as secretaries to become housewives in the suburbs. As the series progresses, the more talented women work their way up to professional status and respect, eventually becoming partners. In 1960, what you had to appear to be to succeed was reliable and conventional, and your life was expected to be "respectable" – lived in one of the few approved social models. Meanwhile, under the surface (and abetted by a lack of communications services like cell phones and email) most of the men are chasing tail, the secretaries are sleeping with bosses to curry favor or bag the right husband, and hypocrisy and alcoholism run rampant. Much of what goes on is hidden, and most people aren't even close to honest with themselves.
Set against a period of rapid change in mores and shocking events like the assassinations of Kennedy and MLK, the characters get to develop in response. Story time is spent on the role of Jews and blacks, and the character who turns out to be homosexual gets fired because he fails to respond positively when a young tobacco heir (source of the majority of the agency's billings) comes onto him; a "why couldn't you take one for the team?" response, not because he is homosexual but because he fluffed the interaction with the client. The counterculture intrudes more and more, with Village bohemians / beatniks replaced by hippies and Hare Krishnas. Pot is smoked at the office, beards grow, skirts get shorter and shorter, the topic of body bags from Vietnam gets mentioned frequently.
Don Draper is not only a character but a symbol – of all those of humble rural background who created new identities for themselves in the big city and strove to enter the middle and upper classes. His facade of respectability is even thinner than most – he's actually Dick Whitman, son of a prostitute, abused by his stepfather, who joined the Army to escape then took an officer's identity when the officer is killed next to him. In this era a simple switch of dog tags let him get shipped back home from Korea immediately… to a completely artificial new life, selling products by invoking the dreams of consumers.
As the characters age and mature, they have all gone through successive changes throwing off doing what they thought was expected of them, and getting closer to what they think they really want. And sometimes they're right!
One of the delightful casting choices is Robert Morse as the elderly, eccentric founder of the agency Bertram Cooper – delightful because he became a star on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying as a brilliant young lad who bluffs his way to the top in 1961. He's fabulous.
As Bert says when Don's secretary, an elderly former flame of his, dies: "She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the thirty-seventh floor of a skyscraper. She's an astronaut."

Want to be the first to try our new framework...


General Electric will not be exiting the major appliance business anytime soon, according to its chairman/CEO Jeff Immelt, who was the keynote speaker at the AVB/Brand Source national convention, held at the Paris Hotel, here, last week.
About GE's future in appliances, Immelt noted, "We have no interest in selling the GE Appliance business" in the foreseeable future. "No one out there can run the business better than we can." He added that while there is "room for improvement" he wants to "keep it in the family — a GE business."
The GE chairman/CEO said that while in 1982 appliances was 15 percent of GE's overall earnings, vs. less than 3 percent today, the appliance business is very important to the company because of its "closeness to customers" and its ability to "build the GE brand."
In discussing the changing nature of major appliance distribution, Immelt said looking at the might of Home Depot, Lowe's and Sears, the "demise of [independent retailers] has been predicted many times. But strategies like Brand Source continue to make you a factor."
Invest in products and innovation. Based on his experience in appliances, "good products sell a lot and bad products sell less, no matter how good your sales team is." That is why GE introduced 80 new products during 2003 and insists that "quality must be a given."
Provide an integrated approach of sales and marketing within GE. "We can't predict winners and losers in the marketplace," Immelt said, adding, "We try to support everyone to give you a chance to win."
"Be brutal on cost." Today's GE appliances vs. products from 1950 "provide the best value in the world." And he noted, "While we don't like to move factories" out of the U.S., it has to be done at times "to reduce cost as well as provide a full appliance line."
Measure product "value and not just [market] share." He said that GE and retailers "have bad habits. We all need to sell a better mix. Without selling the high end we have little interest here. We can do it."
"Focus on the brand." And that includes GE, Monogram and Profile.
"Focus on people who know the industry." Immelt complimented his current appliance management team and added, "This is a great place to train people." Immelt counted himself as one of those GE execs who benefited from the appliance business. "There is no doubt that I wouldn't be chairman if I wasn't in appliances. It teaches management skills."

A Célula de Hadley é um modelo de circulação fechada da atmosfera terrestre predominante nas latitudes equatoriais e tropicais. Esta circulação está intimamente relacionada aos ventos alísios, às zonas tropicais úmidas, desertos subtropicais e correntes de jato. Há três células de circulação primárias, conhecidas como célula de Hadley, célula de Ferrel e célula Polar.

Mecanismo

A circulação de Hadley se origina pelo transporte de calor desde as zonas equatoriais até as latitudes médias, onde a quantidade de radiação solar incidente é normalmente muito menor. As células de Hadley estendem-se desde o equador até latitudes de aproximadamente 30º, em ambos os hemisférios. Este calor é transportado em um movimento celular, com o ar ascendendo por convecção nas regiões equatoriais e deslocando-se até as latitudes superiores, pelas camadas atmosféricas mais altas. A subida do ar quente no equador está acompanhada pela formação frequente de tempestades convectivas na chamada Zona de Convergência Intertropical.

A principal força motriz da circulação atmosférica é o aquecimento pelo Sol, que em média é maior no equador e menor nos polos. A circulação atmosférica transporta energia em direção aos polos, reduzindo assim o gradiente de temperatura entre o equador e os polos. Os mecanismos pelos quais isto acontece são diferentes nas latitudes tropicais e extratropicais.

Entre as latitudes 30°N e 30°S, este transporte de energia se dá por um mecanismo relativamente simples de movimento circular, com ar ascendente perto do equador, movimento em direção ao polo perto da tropopausa, ar descendente nos subtrópicos e retorno em direção ao equador perto da superfície. Já nas latitudes mais altas, o transporte de energia se dá por meio de ciclones e anticiclones, que fazem o ar relativamente quente se mover em direção ao polo e o ar frio em direção ao equador, no mesmo plano horizontal. A célula de circulação tropical é conhecida como célula de Hadley. Por que ela se estende somente até os 30 graus de latitude e o que determina a sua força são questões tratadas pela moderna meteorologia dinâmica.

Perto da tropopausa, à medida que o ar se move em direção ao polo na célula de Hadley, ele é desviado para leste pela Força de Coriolis, que desvia os ventos para a direita no hemisfério norte e para a esquerda no hemisfério sul, criando as correntes de jato subtropicais que fluem de oeste para leste. Analogamente, perto da superfície, o fluxo de retorno em direção ao equador é desviado para oeste pela força de Coriolis. Os ventos de superfície resultantes, com componentes em direção ao equador e ao oeste, são conhecidos como ventos alísios.

A região onde se precipita a massa de ar na célula de Hadley é chamada, em inglês, de "horse latitude" ("latitude dos cavalos", tecnicamente chamada em português "cinturão subtropical de alta pressão"). De acordo com a história, nos tempos em que os capitães dos navios contavam com o vento para chegar aos seus destinos, enfrentar uma calmaria era frequentemente uma má notícia para os cavalos que estivessem a bordo, pois eles eram jogados ao mar para preservar a água escassa.

História da descoberta
No início do século XVIII, George Hadley, um advogado e meteorologista amador inglês, estava insatisfeito com a teoria que o astrônomo Edmond Halley havia proposto para explicar os ventos alísios. O que era sem dúvida correto na teoria de Halley era que o aquecimento solar cria um movimento ascendente de ar equatorial, e a massa de ar das latitudes vizinhas deve fluir para ocupar o espaço da massa que ascendeu. Mas, para o componente em direção ao oeste dos ventos alísios, Halley tinha proposto que, no seu trajeto através do céu, o Sol aquece a massa de ar diferentemente ao longo do dia. Hadley não estava satisfeito com esta parte da teoria de Halley e reconheceu que a rotação da Terra influencia a direção tomada pela massa de ar que se move em relação à Terra,. Ele foi o primeiro a propor isso. A teoria de Hadley, publicada em 1735, permaneceu desconhecida, mas ela foi redescoberta independentemente várias vezes. Um dos redescobridores foi John Dalton, que depois ficou sabendo da precedência de Hadley.

Com o tempo, o mecanismo proposto por Hadley se tornou aceito, e seu nome foi gradativamente associado a ele. No final do século XIX, ficou demonstrado que a teoria de Hadley era deficiente em vários aspectos. Um dos primeiros a propor a dinâmica correta foi William Ferrel, cuja teoria levou muitas décadas para ser aceita, e mesmo hoje a teoria de Hadley ainda pode ser encontrada, particularmente em livros populares e sítios da Internet. A teoria de Hadley foi geralmente aceita por tempo suficiente para tornar seu nome universalmente associado ao padrão de circulação na atmosfera tropical.

Impactos relevantes na precipitação provocados pela latitude
A região em que os fluxos superficiais que se movem em direção ao equador convergem e ascendem é conhecida como zona de convergência intertropical (ZCIT), uma área de tempestades com grandes precipitações.
O ar descendente é seco, por ter perdido a maior parte do vapor d'água em condensação e chuva no trecho superior da circulação. Baixas umidades relativas são produzidas à medida que o ar é aquecido adiabaticamente devido à compressão, quando ele descende para uma região de pressão mais alta. Os subtrópicos são relativamente livres da convecção, ou tempestades, que são comuns no cinturão equatorial de movimento ascendente. Muitos dos desertos do mundo estão localizados nestas latitudes subtropicais.

Há evidências de que a expansão da célula de Hadley se deve à mudança climática. A maioria das regiões mais secas e áridas da Terra estão localizadas nas áreas sob os trechos descendentes da circulação de Hadley, em torno de 30° de latitude.    Tanto os modelos climáticos teóricos quanto os experimentais mostram que a célula de Hadley se expande com o aumento da temperatura média global (talvez até 2 graus de latitude ao longo do século XXI).  Isto pode levar a grandes mudanças na precipitação nas latitudes nos limites das células. Os cientistas temem que o atual aquecimento global possa causar mudanças drásticas aos ecossistemas nos altos trópicos e que os desertos se tornem mais secos e se expandam. À medida que as áreas em torno dos 30 graus de latitude se tornem mais secas, os habitantes dessas regiões terão menos chuva que o esperado, o que poderá causar problemas com a alimentação e a própria habitabilidade.

A expansão da célula de Hadley é uma clara indicação da mudança climática, podendo afetar a temperatura média da Terra de forma drástica. Uma expansão da célula de Hadley em direção aos polos poderá ter um impacto dramático em lugares como o sudoeste da América do Norte, o Mediterrâneo, o sul da América do Sul, o sul da Ásia e a Austrália.

Libido in its commonest usage means the sexual desire and therefore, female libido can be defined as sexual desire in women or females. Like men, women too have sexual desire and in fact, Holy Scriptures like Ayurveda and some folk Thai health books describes that females can enjoy more sex as compared to the men and they have nearly 4-6 times more pleasure than that of the men involved in sex equally. Although Anthropological investigation reveals very different cultural attitudes toward sexuality and sexual behavior through history and around the world, truth is a woman's sexuality never goes away with

How are our elected officials who purvey what can only be called misinformation be held to account? ...
One has to ask, how are our elected officials who purvey what can only be called misinformation or even disinformation be held to account? Recall, that the commission has no power to sanction the Trudeau government, even if the report finds that invoking an emergency was unjustified and did not meet the necessary legal threshold. With his effective majority in Parliament, thanks to Jagmeet Singh and the NDP, Trudeau could simply put the report on a shelf to gather dust. Yet, the public has been witness to nothing less than a debunking of the official narrative. Will they be satisfied with inaction after the commission files its report?
However things play out, public trust in our officials and our media establishment has been damaged, and that's not good for Canadian democracy.
Ezra Levant 🍁🚛
@ezralevant
Alas, "things are not getting done" is not a sufficient legal requirement to invoke martial law.
The Emergencies Act requires a grave danger to Canadians or the country itself, that no other law can handle.
The Liberals know they illegally invoked martial law.
Canada's largest newspaper (and largest recipient of Trudeau's journalism bail-out) says about a peaceful protest: we must "make sure it doesn't return".
Are there other political groups that the Star says shouldn't have freedom of speech or assembly?
Or just Trudeau's enemies?

You would think that in a country in which many people, certainly many of the elites, profess liberal and progressive values, a lot of them would have been disturbed by last winter's declaration of an emergency. Police forces acting under government orders broke up a peaceful protest in the nation's capital, and the bank accounts of many innocent Canadians who participated in, or gave support to, the Freedom Convoy were frozen. ...
What is even more alarming is that the major banks were apparently pleased with this suggestion. One financial institution, Farm Credit Canada, a Crown corporation that provides financial services primarily to farms, went so far as to tell its employees to proactively and secretly record the names of customers who they suspected may have been involved with the convoy, according to a Blacklock's Reporter story based on documents provided through an access to information request. This sounds more like communist East Germany, than India or Hungary.
But it's not just the liberal elite who seem to be giving up on liberal values in Canada. A recent poll by Innovative Research Group found that 51 per cent of Canadians surveyed said that they supported the use of the Emergencies Act, which is actually up two per cent since February.
The "liberals" are horrible people who would immediately push you on to the next cattle car to a death camp as long as it make them feel better about themselves.
Their "principles" are nothing but self-serving hot air which mean nothing to them in fact, which their obedience to corporate propaganda proved beyond any doubt.

The basic aim of the present study was to find out the vertebrates and invertebrates' fauna of Zameer gul dam to provide useful information for future studies. During our research work, different samples of fishes were collected from the different sites of the Zameer Gull Dam Kohat with the help of local fishermen using different types of catch nets and were preserved in 10% formalin. The birds were counted by using a binocular (8x to 32x) and were identified. Observations of mammals were made using field binoculars (32x50) and all species were arranged according to their taxonomic classification. The collected samples of invertebrates were identified by using various identification keys. In our research, we discovered six fish species belonging to one class, two orders, and two families during our research. Three amphibian species were discovered, belonging to one class, one order, and three families. There were four reptile species found, with one class, four orders, and eight families. During our research, we found seven mammalian species belonging to one class, three orders, and four families. Six species of invertebrates, comprising eight wasps and five spiders, were found to belong to three classes, five orders, and six different families. From the current study it can be concluded that Zameer gull dam provide suitable environmental conditions to support the diversity of both vertebrates and invertebrates. The water of this dam is of good quality. Government should pay attention to this dam for making this dam excellent for life and irrigation.

Let's start with a quick multiple-choice test about multiple-choice tests: when designing them, should you a) avoid using complex questions, b) have lots of potential answers for each question, c) all of the above or d) none of the above? The correct answer is (a), though as we'll see, this was not a very well-crafted multiple-choice question.
The issue of how best to design multiple-choice questions is important since they have been popular in both education and business settings for many years now. This is due to them being quick to administer and easy to mark and grade. Furthermore, many students often report preferring them over other test formats.
As well as being a useful assessment tool, if they are well-designed they can also aid learning. This is because of the Testing Effect – the way that retrieving knowledge helps consolidate it in memory.
Psychology as a scientific field enjoys a tremendous level of popularity throughout society, a fascination that could even be described as religious. This is likely the reason why it is one of the most popular undergraduate majors in European and American universities. At the same time, it is not uncommon to encounter the firm opinion that psychology in no way qualifies for consideration as a science. Such extremely critical opinions about psychology are often borrowed from authorities – after all, it was none other than the renowned physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman who, in a famous interview in 1974, compared the social sciences and psychology in particular to a cargo cult. Scepticism toward psychological science can also arise following encounters with the commonplace simplifications and myths spread by pop-psychology, or as a product of a failure to understand what science is and how it solves its dilemmas.
What follows next is a lingering, close-up of Jafar's body. He leans forward, fists clenched, with an almost constipated look on his face. He then explodes in uncontrollable cackles that echo across the landscape. For many millennials growing up in the 1990s, it is an archetypical evil laugh.
Such overt displays of delight at others' misfortune are found universally in kids' films, and many adult thriller and horror films too. Just think of the rapturous guffaws of the alien in the first Predator film as it is about to self-detonate, taking Arnold Schwarzenegger with it. Or Jack Nicholson's chilling snicker in The Shining. Or Wario's manic crowing whenever Mario was defeated.
A recent essay by Jens Kjeldgaard-Christiansen in the Journal of Popular Culture asks what the psychology behind this might be. Kjeldgaard-Christiansen is well placed to provide an answer having previously used evolutionary psychology to explain the behaviours of heroes and villains in fiction more generally.


Traveling is an exciting experience, it opens your eyes, widens your mindset and certainly inspires you for more. I've been traveling since I left high school in 2011, I went to study Multimedia Design & Communication in Denmark, I did an internship in a design agency in London, UK and after a quick trip around the Europe, I've left for a journey of my life – a tour around the world as a digital nomad.
What is a digital nomad, you may ask, a digital nomad is an individual with a certain skillset like writing, programming or designing, that leverages remote work opportunities to travel the world.
In this article I'd like to share how I traveled the world and worked as a freelance web designer while building Despreneur. I want to inspire an idea that you as a web designer can easily combine these two activities and completely redesign your lifestyle. Collect moments, not things they say. As a web designer you're able to produce your work without physically being in the place so it gives you the freedom to move anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. Read also our previous article about How to Work as A Freelance Designer and Travel.
Not a surprise but you need to plan your itinerary, future destinations and getting paid for very simple reasons: to save time, money and stress while you're on the road.
Where will you get web design clients?
What happens if you're not able to work for a month or two?
What about health insurance and taxes?
Before leaving make a rough plan of where you want to go, let your relatives, friends and family know that you are leaving.
It's very important to contact your bank and other institutions and inform them about your leaving. Make sure they activate online payments in your cards, enable a risk of your card being used in third world countries, also make sure to get medical check ups. Get a credit card (if you can) that covers travel insurance.
From the professional perspective, ensure that you have a fully working laptop, charger with adaptors for different countries, get a Skype or other VoIP service credit for cheaper international calls.
Ideally, have a list of clients queuing up for your work, healthy work pipeline will give you a lot of confidence and peace of mind. If you don't have enough clients yet, hold on, save some money and work on booking some clients for the future.
How To Get Remote Jobs?
This might be a huge headache at the beginning, especially if you were getting physical jobs only. However, updating your portfolio, looking for previous clients and talking to them about a remote work possibility will put odds in your favor.
Focus on good relationships with your clients, if it's a permanent position, look for a company that has a free policy on how you work, in other words, their culture allows you to get the job done in any way as long as it is done. My good friend, also a digital nomad, Jacob Laukaitis, who works on Chameleon John allows his employees to work from home or any other place, meaning that you can go to your friends birthday or that football match as long as you get the job done. Other notable companies leading the remote culture are Buffer, Zapier, Toggl.
I've seen many remote job boards popping up here and there and below is a list of some I've discovered recently.
Remote OK is a daily listing of jobs where it's okay to work remotely. At distributed startups like Buffer, Zapier and Automattic and many other companies who embrace the future are posting jobs there.
Remotive Jobs is a curated collection of remote startup jobs by Rodolphe of Buffer.
Dribbble job board has an option remote/anywhere that lists all the jobs that allow you to work remotely.
Working Nomads curates remote digital jobs in the areas of development, design, customer success, sys admin, management, and marketing.
AngelList is the largest platform for startups to find investors, hire new people and get press. They just recently launched remote jobs platform where you can find a well-paid startup position to work remotely.
Traveling and missing out on meeting new people is a complete failure of traveling in general. Meet as much people as you can, that way you will learn about their culture, you will get new ideas and make new friends that will make you feel like home anywhere in the world.
While I was traveling with my buddy we were attending different design, business, and tech meetups and events to meet like-minded people. WordCamp Europe, Startup Weekend, Couch Surfing meetup, Dribbble Meetup as well as different events at co-working spaces. These events provide great atmosphere for people to connect and discuss about their hobbies, life and even potential collaborations.
Startuptravels is a great website that allows you to browse your destination directory and propose a meetup with local entrepreneurs, while most of them are not designers, they can be very cool people to talk to and potentially will need a web designer services, meaning that in the long term you may get another client.
Check Dribbble Meetups page of official meetups listed there to book your calendar of an upcoming meetup near you. It's great for networking with fellow designers, learning from them and generally having a good time.
Meetup is another place where you can find a lot of different events, including design, business and tech that will make you some new connections and make you feel like home.
Eventbrite is generally for event tickets but there are many different events for free too, just browse it in your selected area and you will see how much is going on.
Co-working spaces is another great place to meet other like-minded people. One of my favorite co-working space is Hubud, a hub in Ubud, located in a paradise island in Bali, Indonesia. They have fast wifi, nice coffee and great community with dozens of events.
I was surprised how many followers I have in different countries located in Southeast Asia, where I was traveling for the last 6 months. Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, and many other countries and I had someone I knew online, simply check your current connections and ask to meetup for a coffee or so, if they can't make it ask for an introduction to someone they think you will have a good time with.
While working remotely you will need tools to save you time and solve specific problems like scheduling a meeting in a different time zone or sharing a huge PSD file with your client. There are numerous tools to get the job done, and every web designer has their own workflow. I'll list some tools I've been using so you can check them too or look for alternatives.
iDoneThis is an incredible management tool which has provided me with unprecedented visibility into our productivity and the areas where we need to improve.
The most powerful Twitter tool for real-time tracking, organizing, and engagement. Very easy to manage multiple accounts, schedule updates and filter feeds.
Evernote is a great tool for note taking and sharing with your friends or clients.
Trello is infinitely flexible and incredibly easy to use tool for personal project planning. Trello keeps track of everything, from the big picture to the minute details.
Headspace is a digital health platform, providing guided meditation sessions and mindfulness training for a better work/life balance.
Free calls with your team, clients as well as your friends and family.
Accounting is extremely important and shouldn't be ignored while traveling. Wave's accounting tools are 100% free, secure, and accountant-approved.
Traveling can get very expensive if you don't know how to book flights or accommodation for your next destination. In this section I'd like to introduce you to some cool apps and services that will help you find cheaper flights as well as nice places to stay and work from.
Nomad List is definitely your go-to place for researching destinations, value for money, connecting with other nomads and obviously finding some more handy information.
Find cheap flights with Momondo. Find and compare fares from 700+ travel sites, find out best dates to travel to your desired destination.
I use Google Flight Search to get the big picture of the biggest hubs to fly from like London in Europe and Singapore, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur in Southeast Asia.
JetRadar is a flights search engine. Similar to Momondo it shows you the best deals from hundreds of airline companies.
Especially good for using in the US. Save a lot of money and get smart suggestions to save some dollars on flights.
How do you find a place to work from? You will certainly need a very fast internet connection and comfortable environment. While I personally can work anywhere from cafe to restaurant to hotel room, you may want to try co-working spaces first. You don't just get a comfy place with fast internet and coffee supply but amazing like-minded people around you.
Copass allows you to work from hundreds of co-working spaces on the planet with one single membership. The freedom to work and connect to awesome folks anywhere.
ShareDesk marketplace provides a platform for mobile professionals to discover and book work and meeting spaces on the go–by the hour, day, or month.
Desk Surfing gives you the freedom to work where you want. And who you want to work with. Desksurfing is co-working at any given place.
Find nice rooms, usually better for shorter term stay, however, hotels and homestays are cheaper but after living in hotels you really start feeling that authentic homes are probably better, even if they cost slightly more.
Booking.com and Agoda are great services for nice deals on hotels, providing especially good value for money in Southeast Asia.
There you have it, a quick overview of the possibilities of traveling and working as a web designer. Web design industry is growing and the number of people starting to combine their remote careers with traveling is exploding. I hope I've inspired you to rethink your current position and provided you with enough tools and information to get started.
If you have any questions regarding getting remote jobs, communicating with clients, managing day to day tasks while traveling, ping me on Twitter @tomaslau.
