On February 1st, 2019 I hit my million. It took 13 months straight outta the gate, and I'm really psyched about it.
I haven't actively been selling some of my core products this past little bit… but the systems I've built have enough pressure in them that we're still doing about six figures a month.
I wanna walk through the 4 different costs and the benefits and cons of each. There are some costs that I'm willing to pay and ones that I'm not.
When I first started this game, and this is an epic failure… I couldn't feed my wife. I asked my Dad for cash and thankfully, he said, NO.
I was actively selling, but it wasn't working for me.
Looking back, I'm thankful because otherwise I'd be stuck in businesses that I don't love. This might sound bit weird, but sometimes you're meant to fail.
It was all about how to write a business plan so that you could get VC funding, aka OPM.
The emphasis was MORE on how to acquire funding than how to actually make a product or a sales message that sells.
In the funnel game, two specific metrics matter a lot.
We didn't have a full-time designer, copywriter, photographer or email writer; there was none of that. It just was Russell and me.
A lot of the time, we'd just take our phone out to make the sales videos.
Then I'd work with the fulfillment houses, and make that link happen.
My main role in the business it is NOT to be a type 3 cost individual who swaps their time for money.
As far as being the CEO, it doesn't make sense for me to be the closer in my own company.

A Review on Response of Immune System in Spinal Cord Injury and Therapeutic Agents useful in Treatment
Author(s): Narayanan Kasinathan, Meenashi B. Vanathi, Volety M. Subrahmanyam, Josyula V. Rao	Department of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal University, Manipal- 576104, Manipal, India., India
Journal Name: Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
DOI : 10.2174/1389201015666141031121338
Every year more than 12,000 people in US alone suffer from spinal cord injury. However, complete recovery of physical function is difficult due to multiple factors involved in disease progression. Currently available therapeutic regimens do not address all the factors concerned with the disease progression. The present review focuses mainly on the role of immune cells in progression of spinal cord injury and the drugs that target these immune cells. Literature search shows that inflammatory reactions and subsequent reactions that follow direct injury to spinal cord are sometimes responsible for the severity of the disease. Therefore, for design of proper treatment regimen a deep understanding in this area is required. Understanding the pathophysiology will help in creating delivery system that can target multiple factors involved in progression of spinal cord injury. A combination of various treatment strategies is required to reduce the disability in patients with spinal cord injury.
Keywords: Autoimmunity, immune system, inflammation, natural compounds, spinal cord injury.

D.C. on edge: rumors of new Supreme Court vacancy swirl
White House sources think Justice Anthony Kennedy, the Supreme Court's ideological fulcrum, may announce his retirement today, as the justices gather on the bench for the last time this term.
If that happens, Day 158 instantly becomes President Trump's biggest moment.
Trump's first Court appointment, of Justice Neil Gorsuch, was a one-for-one ideological swap for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
Replacing Kennedy would be even more historic and consequential: a momentous chance to edge the Court right, since Kennedy is the center of the Court — the one most willing to listen to both sides. On a controversial case, both sides pitch to him. It's been called "Kennedy's Court."
No one's predicting: Court watchers say no one knows, and Kennedy has said nothing publicly. He could well wait one more year: The Court buzz is that it'll be this year or next.
Be smart: Few domestic developments could more instantly and decisively change the national conversation — blotting out almost everything else, and vastly reducing the sting for conservatives is healthcare tanks.
A Washington wise man emails: "With two court appointments and maybe one more, Trump's presidency will be consequential even if he has few legislative achievements. This week may well demonstrate both."

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically "fault" by one of the parties and party not at "fault" seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two "no-fault" basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for "fault" or not, in Ohio the party not at "fault" will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.

Q: Display multiple mysql tables in one jsp Trying to design a small dashboard - I've data ready in 2 mysql tables. I even have DAO and Controller which is working fine. I'm trying to display these tables on one jsp... My doGet() looks something like this -
 protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    String forward = "";
    String action = request.getParameter("action");

        forward = LIST_CASEDETAIL;
        request.setAttribute("casedetails", dao.getDailyBoard());
        request.setAttribute("caseweekly", dao.getWeeklyBoard());

    RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher(forward);
    view.forward(request, response);
}

Question no 1 - is this allowed?

Q: Can I set jshint options at the function level? I'm using jshint to monitor my code quality, but I'd like to apply different rules/options to different parts of my code.
In particular, there's one function where I'm intentionally and necessarily using bitwise operators.  For this function, I'd like to set /*jshint bitwise:false */.  For the rest of my code, though, I'd like to set /*jshint bitwise:true */.  Is there a way to do this, short of splitting that function into another script file?  I imagine it would look something like this, but it looks like this doesn't actually work.
/*jshint bitwise:true */  //not really needed since it's default

function whatever () {
    // lots of code here
}

function uses_bitwise () {
    /*jshint bitwise:false */
    //bitwise code here
}

A: Yes, your syntax in the question is correct. From The JSHint documentation:

In addition to the --config flag and .jshintrc file you can configure JSHint from within your files using special comments. These comments start either with jshint or global and are followed by a comma-separated list of value. For example, the following snippet will enable warnings about undefined and unused variables and tell JSHint about a global variable named MY_GLOBAL.

/* jshint undef: true, unused: true */
/* global MY_GLOBAL */

You can use both multi- and single-line comments to configure JSHint. These comments are function scoped meaning that if you put them inside a function they will affect only this function's code.

A: Actually, it turns out that the exact syntax proposed in the question works!

تَعَرَّض أحد السائقين المسلمين بشركة Borough Taxis بمدينة "مانشستر" البريطانية التي يعمل بها قرابة 70 سائقًا مسلمًا - للفصل من عمله لرفضه توصيل أسرة بعد اكتشافه حملها لزجاجة خمر، مُعتذِرًا للأسرة عن السماح بوضع أو نقل الخمر من خلال سيارته.
وقد قامت الشركة بالاعتذار للمواطن البريطاني وأسرته عن تصرف السائق الذي لم يُفصح عن هويته، والذي تم فصله بعد نصف ساعة من تقديم "أدريان كارترايت" (46 عامًا) شكوى وكتابة ما حدث عبر صفحته على موقع "فيس بوك". المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.
A Muslim cab driver in the United Kingdom has been fired from his job after he evicted a family from his taxi for carrying a bottle of wine. The driver has been sacked as he threw out a family carrying an unopened bottle of wine, of which he said, "it's against my religion."
But before they could make the five-minute journey, the driver, in his 20s, spotted the bottle of white wine and promptly refused to take them, the Daily Mail reported. The family was turfed out on to the pavement and he drove off.
"We all got inside the car and the driver said: Is that alcohol? When I said 'yes' he replied: I am sorry but I can't allow it in my cab, it's against my religion," a furious Mr Cartwright wrote on his Facebook page.
"I knew it wasn't worth arguing so we had to get out," Mr Cartwright added.
He also complained to the driver's employer Borough Taxis, who have around 70 Muslim drivers, and within half an hour he was sacked.
The company's former chairman, Fazal Rahim, who has also driven for them for almost a quarter of a century, said the driver's attitude was unprofessional.
"I am a practicing Muslim, like a lot of the drivers. This was not a decision ****d on race or religion, however, but about being a professional taxi driver," Mr Rahim said.
The taxi company has apologised to Mr Cartwright and his family and explained why the cabbie must be sacked. The identity of the driver was not disclosed.

Two Weeks for $250,000 (or more) for CFS: Chase Community Giving Contest for Small Non-Profits …
$250,000 or More for the ME/CFS Community?????
Is that even possible? $250,000 may be more than all the smaller non-profits ever – put together – spent in their existence – but it is possible and its happening NOW.
Chase Community Giving is at it again. In the first round – for larger non-profits- the ME/CFS Community got the WPI a cool $100,000. Last year the ME/CFS Community won PANDORA 25K.
Small Non-Profits Now – Now Chase is doing a round for smaller non-profits with even more money at stake. With 10 or more CFS non-profits voting for each other the ME/CFS Community could rack in 250K or more – that's right 250,000 – IF we do this right.
Since the rules of the contest give each person 10 votes but allow them to vote only once for a non-profit we need to all band together and rally each organizations membership to get the word and vote. The Chase contest is, not surprisingly, very competitive and is more competitive this year with fewer winners overall. It will take all of us voting and contacting and supporting each other for two weeks.
What might they do with this money? Provide seed grants to researchers? Small grants have paid off before. PANDORA's $5,000 grant to Dr. Broderick lead to a $100,000 grant from the CFIDS Association of America which, in turn, lead to a $4,000,000 NIH grant. The Wisconsin CFIDS Association's grant helped the WPI get their Biobank off the ground. The National CFIDS Foundation's grants for ciguatera research helped create a new research focus for CFS.
How about hiring professional grant writers to bring in the really big money? Creating a powerful advocacy program that brings patients together to make a difference? Creating a scholarship for medical students? Underwriting a treatment booklet for ME/CFS? Supporting a name change? Providing funds for indigent ME/CFS patients? The possibilities are large.
Last time we did this only PANDORA was organized enough to really get into the race but now we have the chance to make many organizations win – potentially pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into a cash starved ME/CFS community.
Time: Contest Begins Nov 8th and ends Nov 22nd

A Deeper Look at the Entrants
Let's take a deeper look at each of the entrants – each of which has made a difference without substantial funding.
International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – the voice of the professional ME/CFS community, the IACFS/ME produces the bi-annual International Conferences on CFS research, provides a bulletin, a quarterly newsletter, commentary on CFS research issues. Our professional organization has been like a sleeping tiger; chronically short of money it has the potential to be a real leader in the CFS research community. Let's get them some funds so they can realize their potential for us.
VOTE FOR THE IACFS/ME (Named AACFS on Chase) (https://bit.ly/s48mcK)
CFSKnowledgeCenter – Dan Moricoli already easily had the biggest ME/CFS video collection on the web at CFSKnowledgeCenter/MECFS Community Center but he's taken it one step further and is now, in conjunction with Dr. Nancy Klimas, producing a series of video's on managing CFS. The CFS Knowledge Center supplies the latest ME/CFS news with its Continuing News Stories section and its weekly updates, has collaborated with Dr. Klimas on several Research Surveys, and has an Expertise Assistance Section with Dr. Hyman. In 2011 the CFSKnowledgeCenter joined the Coalition4ME/CFS.
Dan has done all this on basically nothing. What could he do with $25,000 or $100,000 dollars? I would love to find out.
VOTE FOR THE CFSKNOWLEDGECENTER Here (https://bit.ly/kdavB)
Wisconsin ME/ CFS Association – One of the oldest CFS support groups the Wisconsin ME/CFS Association has a long history of making a difference. The WICFS helped create a state network that ended up including 26 groups, lobbied on the state and federal levels, created the first national repository for CFS samples, hosted the 7th International IACFS Conference, provided $12,000 for the WPI's Biobank Freezer (and then 5k more later), presented information on CFS budget problems at the federal advisory panel for CFS (CFSAC), provided $3,000 for the Friedman Medical Scholarship, and participated in producing the State of the Knowledg Workshop. In 2011 the WIME/CFS Association joined the Coalition4ME/CFS.

The Body Language of Pictures
TRADITIONAL COMPOSITIONS ARE ANALYZED, in terms of form, as part/whole relationships. Untraditional compositions tend to be described as grids, wholes, modular systems or "collage,"1 and they are discussed in terms of the artists' intentions. Maybe the implication is that esthetic theory now does the job of formal analysis, or that contemporary art transcends mere visibility. Both artists and critics treat composition like a throwaway when the disposition of component units is anonymous and unstressed—for example, in Duane Michals' text-and-image pieces. Still, visual organization can be ignored only as long as it works reasonably well. Axial symmetry, for one thing, is all over the place. It is the dominant device of what one might call underground composition. Like the traditional organization of book pages, it reinforces planarity, even though small, evenly articulated surfaces require little in the way of control. Such "compositions" have become so familiar that they escape notice, so commonplace that they look natural. Yet they reflect the contemporary preference for forms of visual organization that seem nonarbitrary and consistent with the flatness of the surface. A rather limited number of structures serves a wide variety of artistic rationales.
In the remarks that follow, axial symmetry is discussed as the axis of symmetry established by the support. Images may or may not be symmetrical, but formats, including shaped canvases, usually are. Even when the vertical axis of the format is unmarked, its implied presence guides the viewer in centering attention on the work. The image's own axis of symmetry (if it has one) will strengthen or play against the axis of the support. My attention was drawn to this element by Dominique Fourcade's provocative essay in the catalogue to the Matisse cutout exhibition. Under the title "Something Else," Fourcade claims that with a few exceptions (L'Escargot and Souvenir d'Océanie) Matisse's large, ambitious cutouts show a departure from chromatic organization and its replacement by a principle of symmetry, ". . . a symmetry which was completed and even worsened by still another need he [Matisse] seems to have felt at the time—that of uniformly filling a surface."
Now Fourcade is a passionate and intelligent critic, but Europeans simply have not seen as many grid structures in the last ten years as Americans have. Actually, Matisse's late works are predominantly grids rather than mere symmetries. The formal properties of the late cutouts as Fourcade describes them—the symmetry, the uniformly filled surface, the discreteness of the forms (their separation from the surrounding ground)—are normal characteristics of simple grid structures. Fourcade remarks indignantly that the taut white field underlying the cutouts (which he calls "the unpainted") is no space at all, but an antithesis to the painted forms set upon it. But Americans are familiar with the flat physicality of that ground. They have accepted its refusal to envelop the shapes it separates since it first appeared in Stella's black paintings.
Stella's black paintings offered a remarkably full exploration of more conventional symmetries, where multiple axes of orientation are complications of the pictorial gestalt rather than of perceived space. Usually discussed as deductive structures, the variety of "deductions" in the black paintings depends on the fact that each figure presents simultaneous and alternative readings, depending on whether structural axes are perceived as diagonals or as linear coordinates. Arbeit Macht Frei, for example, can be seen as "deduced" from a centralized cross (incomplete rectangles opening each of the corners and stressing a centrifugal movement); or centripetally, as the conjunction of paired, pointed figures, one horizontally oriented, one vertically; or as rectangular part-to-part mirroring along either a horizontal or a vertical axis of symmetry. The succession of perceivable symmetries offers viewers a way of engaging themselves with the work; it gives them an active role in reorganizing perception.
The "space" which underlies linear grids in two-plane lattice structures normally presents itself to us as a physical surface and not a constructed one. What distinguishes lattices from other versions of grids is that lattices usually read as dualistic figure-ground systems, though the "unpainted" areas can play either role. Sol LeWitt's wall drawings, Agnes Martin's pencil drawings on paper or canvas and Valerie Jaudon's denser interlaces are all examples of the simple lattice, the same disjunctive system that Fourcade deplores in Matisse's Decoration with Masks.
The separateness is most subtle in Martin's work. Her grids lie on the surface as lightly as spider webs, drawing us into an appreciation of the physical texture of her support. (It is worth noticing how frequently Martin's work is reproduced in details, the relationship between the grid and the surface being vital to her effects.) This most sensuous artist was excruciatingly careful about adjusting the limited contrast between the linear veil and the surface. That contrast is what gives each work its specific color. LeWitt was drawn to use silverpoint and colored pencils in order to achieve a comparable disjunction in the coarser visual field of his walls.
The spatial disjunction between a linear grid and the surface it measures is spelled out when we are allowed to see that their axes of symmetry do not coincide. Initially, Martin's grids were given a unit shape of their own. In a smaller size, the grid departed ever so slightly from the squareness of the format. Just as some grid lines went faintly askew, the grid itself was seldom exactly centered in the area it .occupied. Often the grid's horizontal axis was displaced upward, giving a faint buoyancy to the image. When there is no border, the slippage of grid plane against ground plane becomes invisible and the opposition of a horizontally or vertically oriented oblong grid against Martin's square format is carried by the shape of the module itself. The nonidentifiability of the grid plane and the surface it rests upon was deliberately chosen for the faint mobility it yields. Martin has called attention to this factor, saying: "My formats are square but the grids are never absolutely square, they are rectangles a little cut off the square, making a sort of contradiction, a dissonance. The rectangle lightens the weight of the square, destroys its power." Formally, the grid and its support are given slightly divergent axes of symmetry.
The axis of symmetry has come to signal a new interpretation of the viewer/object relation, offering the chief resource for controlling that relationship. Instead of locking the viewer into a specific (imagined) viewing position in relation to the created space of the image, as Renaissance perspective does, modern compositions often encourage the viewer's mobility in a scanning pattern rather than a determinate focus of vision. The format's axis of symmetry is the anchor that moors us to the site of artistic action. Unstressed, it holds us ever so lightly, as in Noland's targets; insisted upon, as in the chevrons, it can become the major key to pictorial structure. We may be led to acknowledge the persistence of the created image despite the contingencies of our physical position in relation to it. Instead of being drawn into the fantasy of imagined space, we face an immediate, independent presence whose intentions require investigation. By fixing our initial position, axes of symmetry announce our newly contingent orientation to what is seen.
The viewer's spatial mobility is linked to the 20th century's escape from gravity. Like it or not, we are all less earthbound than we used to be. Nature seems feeble and vulnerable, while we see ourselves as the victims of powerful social and historical circumstances. Now any statement about reality is perceived as reflecting the intellectual, moral or political position of the speaker. A multifaceted, equivocal world can be understood only by those prepared to grasp different "points of view." In art, mechanism and contrivance are acceptable for new reasons. Systems and photographic images are not supplementary to nature, but the only way an artist can signal that he's "going public," avoiding merely personal expression. The importance of pictorial flatness is not that it's a special novelty of modernism which rejects illusion. The flat, bounded surface accepts the need for narrow sharp-focus attention, foregoing unattainable completeness. Far from reflecting a simplistic preference for the literal over the ideal, flatness is the stigma of art's special language. The work's physical surface is a deliberately neutral ground that does not assign a viewpoint so much as make the viewer aware of the fact that he's using one.
The new "rule" about flatness is what accounts for the triviality of depicted shape (as if drawing were nothing but rendered shape!). "Composition" or pictorial organization is more important than ever,and its new conventions are as significant as the old ones used to be. A small, rarely seen Agnes Martin called Mountain looks anomalous, probably because of its implications of perspective space. Dibbets' "Dutch Mountains" series, like his perspective corrections, is more readily acceptable because it supports a modern focus on the contribution of the mobile eye/I.
To claim that modernist composition involves dealing with the axis of the format sounds vague, but it has the virtue of including both reinforcing and dissolving strategies. An artist can "lose" the vertical axis by choosing a very wide format, or by adopting a shaped canvas whose atectonic silhouette leaves us suspended among various axial possibilities (Stella's procedure in the irregular polygons and some works in the protractor series). Alternatively, an artist can suppress the format's vertical axis by introducing multiple symmetries (as in Stella's black paintings). But regular, literally handled shapes usually present us with an implicit dominant axis which guarantees a horizontal or vertical orientation for the work as a whole, and reinforced axes do predominate.
Achieving spatial orientation within a world of objects implies or projects a shared gravitational field. We do not take the experience of gravity as a private experience, but assume that it affects all the bodies and objects around us. This faith underlies our ability to interpret the perceived forces of the visual field as acting upon us, the observers. When a visual field is presented on a horizontal plane (floors or ceilings), that innocent tendency results in a more or less severe sense of dislocation or disembodiment. Artistically elaborated vertical surfaces usually reinforce the stable vertical axis and mobilize horizontal or diagonal axes—this is characteristic of pictures and wall treatments. Artistic elaborations of horizontal planes, like carpets and ceilings, on the other hand, tend to invite displacements of direction and imagined depth of field. The classic Persian vase carpet can in fact be read as a lattice with five shallow planes. Carl Andre's floor pieces ideally generate new valences, boundaries and scale relationships in the rooms where they appear. Neither his procedures nor his results are as interesting as these revisions of placement that his work engenders.
Symmetry and the axis that locates it cannot be investigated adequately as long as we think of them merely as properties of objects and images. As a prime element in the viewer's relationship to the work, the axis of symmetry inevitably affects our interpretation of the visual field. Whatever "space" the artist proposes, some definition of the viewer's position in relation to the work cannot be denied. As an experience rather than a characteristic of the object's gestalt, vertical axial symmetry aligns the viewer's axis with that of the object, its "face." The sharpened awareness of this parallelism intensifies intellectual or psychological response, for that face-to-face parallelism is the physical paradigm for interpersonal intimacy, the posture of dialogue. On the other hand, seated and leaning over a picture in a book, we easily forget physical constraints. Thus manuscript illustrators, East and West alike, have rarely worried much about spatial consistency.
Early Conceptual art, like Dibbets' perspective pieces and Bochner's measurement series, often focused on the difference between subjective and objective knowledge of real space. Such works were generally interpreted as investigations of the peculiarities of sign systems or as documentation, but they depended equally on nonsymbolic visual experience, which set for the viewer the mild dilemma of deciding where he "stood"—an issue that is also important with Barry Le Va. The continuity between Bochner's conceptual pieces, using verbal or mathematical sign systems, and his permutations of geometric shape—the polygons—is marked by a persistent manipulation of the viewer's (imagined) position in relation to the work. Multiple readings are demanded by forcing the viewer to face the work from different positions in order to decipher it. Two, sometimes even four or more (for the polygons) different orientations might have to be taken in order to "see" the construction of the whole—a perfect paradigm for the elementary mental acrobatics that the works embody. The imaginary repositioning of the spectator is the major stimulus to participation that such work of Bochner's affords. It is given an extra fillip in the Axiom of Indifference, where the viewer's imaginary placement in relation to the work is physically blocked by a wall, forcing us to read the piece from a position we are forbidden to assume.
Pictures with a single, strongly marked vertical axis can also suggest a centripetal effect, fading out toward the edges and weakening the impact of the painting as a self-contained physical object. Robert Mangold said, "I liked the idea of a section [of a circle] implying more and yet being a complete thing." And Mangold's juxtapositions of sectional arcs were intended to minimize the importance of the boundary. (Shaped canvases are still too unconventional and too reminiscent of sculpture to support that suppression easily; rectangular formats do it better). The same sense of a complete yet potentially expandable painting showed up in Johns' 1975 exhibition, where Scent, a work with a dominant vertical axis, strongly suggested a regular vertical mirroring which did not, in fact, exist (the repetitions actually involved the reflection and transposition of smaller, horizontal units). The most successful example of the axis serving to suppress boundaries is still Jawlensky's last series of contemplative heads, where the edges of the face and the edges of the canvas exactly coincide. There a rectangular format, a gridlike linear pattern, and an allover blackness yield an eerie, St.-Veronica's-veil-type image, a kind of apparition whose psychological force overwhelms the object-hood of a painted canvas.
So far I have discussed the role of compositional axes in paintings whose unitary character was strongly marked, either by keeping the picture small enough so that its boundaries are all always visible within the normal range of viewing, or by emphasizing the central axis of the pictorial field. Axes of symmetry have completely different functions when the artist's surface is so large that it cannot be seen as a whole or is subject to perspective effects. The late 17th and early 18th centuries delighted in such vacuum-cleaner effects. Artists specialized in whooshing the viewer down an imaginary tunnel into nothingness. The illusion was repeated ad nauseam in infinite vistas of landscape architecture, especially in stage design. In medieval Islam as well as contemporary America, ideology and taste enjoin the contrary effect. We prefer to deny diagonal, space-piercing vectors in favor of a stabilization of intervals that lets us feel we can handle an extended, potentially overwhelming situation. This allows us to preserve an allover grandness of scale while dealing with one thing at a time.
Valerie Jaudon's new ceiling in Philadelphia consists of only three repetitions of a bilaterally symmetrical motif. The great size of the design units has the merit of lowering the ceiling visually and of undercutting the inhuman scale of the lobby space beneath without adding an unmanageable amount of detail. The rush of the dominant longitudinal axis is slowed down by a sequence of four transversely oriented motifs. Because any viewing position makes us perceive the transverse elements as diminishing in width, the short axes look more varied than the single unchanging, dominant longitudinal one, an effect that is reinforced by a series of crescendos of light from the widely spaced lighting fixtures. Oddly similar effects occur in the abrash of Eastern carpets, those streaky irregular variations in color which are traditionally introduced into the weft, completely independent of the pattern.
Extremely wide pictures are usually seen in rooms that frustrate any attempt to see the image as a whole. That frustration can be insured by eliminating axial clues (as in many of Noland's stripe paintings) or by introducing one or more patently false axes (Newman). Swamped by color fields of indeterminate extension, we are exposed to an ungraspable environment and open to suggestions of infinity, of ungovernable space or uncontrolled velocity.
More "kindly" artists, or artists willing to stay on the wall, provide us with a sequence of symmetries to pace an orderly progress through a large work. Ellsworth Kelly's panels of color are linked to each other as a series of symmetrical shapes. His units develop a sequential, narrative effect, each contributing its voice to an ultimately apprehended chord. This is fundamentally the traditional narrative use of long horizontal formats. In the Bayeux tapestry and in many Japanese narrative scrolls (like the 13th-century Chōjū Giga, the one with the rabbits), symmetrical trees or buildings both link and separate juxtaposed scenes. Such symmetries keep us from seeing the story as a simple addition of units—they define neighboring sections as segments of a whole. Matisse's Thousand and One Nights pays explicit tribute to the scenic treatment of very wide formats.
Pictures whose details read part by part avoid the single-axis characteristic of icons and marks. Emphasis is laid on the separate areas: in highly unified compositions such areas become zones. Parakeet and Mermaid is certainly nonaxial, and it is not, strictly speaking, a grid. Matissean leaf forms in different colors, shapes and sizes swirl over the surface in a multitude of directions. It does not require too much imagination to see the work as thematic and organized by zones. The left half, punctuated by the parakeet, pertains to air, while the right half, which features the mermaid, pertains to water. The sea/jungle of vegetation that envelops them is a part of both worlds at once. As a pastoral image, the theme is the unity of normally disparate realms (like those of the court and the forest in As You Like It). Here the absence of axial division becomes altogether appropriate, and the technique of collage, an integral element of meaning. As cutout representational images, collage implies that some original context of the chosen motif has been discarded and that a new one—with new meanings—has been developed, within which the original motif functions differently. For iconographic purposes, the new context is not the total image but a zone, the immediate adjoining area with its figures. This is often the way one reads a Rosenquist, for example. In older painting, pictorial zoning laws separated human and divine figures, while Persian miniatures often assign separate zones to upper- and lower-class figures.
Iconographic systems do not really concern themselves with credibility (which is a critical concern outside the system), and most of Matisse's decorative compositions use motifs so remote and so conventional that symmetries serve purely artistic purposes. Matisse's heraldic Apollo has a single vertical axis, but the much wider Decoration with Masks presents a multiplicity of symmetries. There two horizontally oriented grids flank a central vertical panel. Each of the three areas has a marked axis of symmetry—the mask in each horizontal panel, set above the horizontal axis, and the arch-framed vertical line-up of floral motifs in the center. The contours of the motif are certainly important here, although I don't agree with John Neff's claim that the drawing "saves" Matisse from decoration. Shifting from the four-petalled flower motif of the grids to the five-petalled flower of the panel introduces the hint of a secondary diagonal grid, carried through in the orientation of the cloves and the line of surprised-looking diagonals at the top border. As Fourcade says, the whole is not completely successful. In particular, the blue columns at the sides look cramped and awkward. Yet the organization is essentially chromatic. The central panel takes its closure and direction primarily from its unmodified blueness, within which white takes on a positive brilliance that is supplied in the grids by the oranges and greens. Only in the vicinity of the brown cloves does the ground white begin to match the luminosity generated by the continuous blue edge in the center.
Although Matisse died before he could resolve all the artistic problems of his monumental decorations, his work remains the most sophisticated use of symmetry and color we have seen in modern times. We have done very little compared to the subtle and intelligent masterpieces of medieval Persia. In the west iwan of the Friday mosque in Isfahan, the central axis of the great calligraphic mosaic is spelled out in the multi-directional Kufic script, but it does not force the alignment of the door below it or the decorative panels above. Symmetries abound, but they never lock us into a single closed visual field. All boundaries are abrogated by inclusion into greater wholes, so that we are finally drawn to see the entire mosque precinct as a total environment. This unity does not depend on the pervasiveness of a single historical style, even less on the consistency of a single artistic personality or "hand." The unity is essentially formal, dependent on esthetic principles so powerful that they can sweep gardens, architecture and decoration into a single vision. Without an appreciation of the possibilities of formal principles that can integrate discontinuous areas, disjunctive patterns and materials, we can see nothing but mechanical symmetries and trivial collage.
Formal principles are not mere technical matters, relevant to the artistic process but meaningless in the final experience of work. The conventions of artistic structure are central to the pact between the artist and the audience. Form is the grammar of artistic utterance. Unless artist and audience share an understanding of how the artistic experience is set up, no sophisticated or extended expressiveness is possible. Wherever that common focus is missing, the reception of artistic intention goes awry. Thus art continues to be sold as celestial transport while artists produce it for its immediacy. Such matters are now dealt with philosophically in a long overdue recognition of the social and ideological components of perception. But formal principles have a peculiar status, half empirical and half theoretical. As supra-stylistic emergents within contemporary art, new conventions of form link "pure" perception to other components of visual experience.

It is then in that silence that I know.
Love is ever hopeful, is it not true?
These lone and quiet moments filled with rue.
You may return; you may not; it's your choice.
I've long gone past the point where I can sway.
I'd speak to you, but my words have no voice.
I wait for the scent of your ghost each day.
To us; but time moves—creeping, jagged, slow.


old fences from around Wallaces Hut and doing maintenance work on Ropers Lookout track. The following year MBW dug a pit for the toilet at Wallaces Hut.
For some time some members had been concerned about the unwelcoming appearance of the fence around the lodge and, in 1984, it was removed to be rebuilt around the water supply. The upper track to Wilky was becoming badly eroded, so measures were taken to prevent further deterioration. In the March long weekend that year the sewer pipe to the septic tank was replaced. Painting was done, as usual, and a battery-operated lamp was installed in the toilet. As wood-gathering had often been a case of 'so much owed by so many to so few', it was decided to buy a load of cut wood for Wilky. This was delivered and barrowed into the woodshed with much less effort than the previous gathering parties had taken. In 1985 the wood delivered was too long for the stove but, luckily, a chainsaw had been brought up, so enough wood was cut to length for the stove.
In late 1985 a National Park ranger rang the Lodge Manager to inform him that the lodge had been broken into. While tools and equipment had been stolen, including the barrow to wheel these away, not much damage had been done except to the inner door latch which was replaced. November 15-17 was a Halleys-comet-watching weekend - no doubt members are looking forward to the next one!
A National Park work party on Australia Day 1986 was somewhat abortive, as the ranger could not organise any work for the Club, apart from collecting some wood for Cope and Wallaces huts - a rather frustrating activity as members felt that this could only result in larger fires at those huts. The group also barrowed in a load of cut wood for Wilky and repaired the kitchen floor. Late that year a mouldy smell around the lodge was investigated and it was discovered that the sink and hand-basin pipes had rusted through, so these were replaced with PVC pipes.
Over the years there have been many visitors to Wilky. In 1978 Pauline Wilkinson, 'Wilky's' grand-daughter, called in. In 1980 Colin Wright, who brought in the Wilky building materials in 1932, visited and in 1987 Lasse Olsen and his wife, Hilda, visited - Lasse was the son of the first resident engineer at Wilky and lived there for two years, 1933-34.
The lounge-room chimney had been developing a leak over the years that finally became known as 'Mattingley's Waterfall'. In 1987 this was repaired by forming a new concrete shoulder on the chimney.

Q: uploading csv file to trigger firestore collection update I'm trying to make a feature in admin panel (with React and Antd framework).
I currently have around 15000 ~ 20000 user info in a csv file. This csv file is regularly updated. Since I have a pretty huge list I was thinking of creating an upload feature where admin can upload the regularly updated csv file so it is transformed into JSON and only selected fields are stored to firestore. This means everytime I upload a new file, all 15000~20000 (26mb) data records are overwritten. Is it inefficient to create this kind of workflow? There's a chance that these data becomes larger so I can't possibly update them manually.
Can someone give me some advice on how to handle such situation.

A: Browsers allow from 2 to 4 (some even larger) (GB) maximum size of file to upload so your file is not large.
And I used to work with task like this before and can say that antd table does it easy. Only filters work a little slowly.
Here is an example I did
import React, {useState} from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

const columns = [
   /** Here was my columns */
]

const App = () => {
    const [data, setData] = useState([]);

    const handleUpload = (e) => {
        const file = e.target.files[0];
        const reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = event => {
            try {
                const result = event.target.result;
                setData(JSON.parse(result));
            } catch (e) {
                console.log(e)
            }
        }
        reader.readAsText(file);
    }

    return (
        <>
            <input type="file" onChange={handleUpload}/>
            <Table
                columns={columns}
                dataSource={data}
            />
        </>
    )
}

ReactDOM.render(
    <App/>,
    document.getElementById('root')
);

Glad if my answer was helpful to you :) Regards!


BOSTON —Jan 02, 2019— Sen. Elizabeth Warren is preparing to bring a populist message to Iowa voters just days after taking her first major step toward launching a campaign for president.
The Massachusetts Democrat told reporters on Wednesday that she's planning to visit the state with the nation's first presidential caucuses after being sworn in on Thursday to a second Senate term.
Warren said that Washington "works great for the wealthy and the well-connected" but that it needs to work for everybody else.

Two new Congresswomen become known quantitities – though opinion is divided
Economist/YouGov PollPolitics & current affairs
Republicans tend to be suspicious of women seeking special favors under the guise of 'equality'
Two newly-elected Congresswomen, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, have become nearly as well-known as several more senior legislators, although opinion of them divides by party, and in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll, negative views of the two new Representatives are as common as positive ones.
The survey was conducted after Tlaib made her much-criticized remark last week about impeaching President Trump, using vulgar language. Republicans overwhelmingly hold unfavorable views of her, as well as of Ocasio-Cortez. Democrats are overwhelmingly favorable.
Nearly as many Americans have an opinion of Ocasio- Cortez as have one of Senator Elizabeth Warren; as many have an opinion of Tlaib as have one of Senator Susan Collins. Both Senators have been in office longer, and Warren has just announced the formation of a Presidential exploratory committee. Several other new members of Congress asked about in the poll are unknown to three-quarters or more of the public.
Nearly all of these legislators, known and unknown, get mixed reviews from those who express an opinion.
The poll finds suspicion about women's political activity – and the suspicions are more likely to be held by Republicans than Democrats. In the Economist/YouGov Poll, Republicans – especially Republican men – are especially likely to believe women who are asking for equality are really asking for special favors.
Many also believe that women seek to get power by gaining control over men, something more than four in ten Republicans (male and female) are likely to believe. Republicans are less willing than Democrats to attribute a superior moral sensibility to women. 42% of Democrats think women do have a higher moral sense; only about half as many Republicans (22%) agree. More than a third of Republicans disagree and many in both parties neither agree nor disagree.
However, women of both parties say it's harder for women to get elected than it is for men. Republican men aren't so sure about that, though. The results show that as many of them think it's easier for a woman to win election as believe that it's easier for a man.
Democrats are more open than Republicans to a woman President of their own party. 84% of them say it would be a good thing if a Democratic woman was to be elected (and it appears several will run in 2020); 59% of Republicans say that about a GOP woman becoming President. But electing a woman may not be the country's highest priority. Just 10% of men and 20% of women say it is "extremely important" to them personally for the country to elect a woman President in their lifetime. And most of these respondents are Democrats. Hardly any Republicans agree. Half of them say it is "not important at all."

Programmatic video ad platform BrightRoll on Wednesday announced several key partnerships that will give its clients access to measurement data and additional inventory. The company has also struck a partnership with Oracle's BlueKai to encourage advertisers to buy mobile video ads.
On the measurement front, BrightRoll has tapped the two largest audience measurements firms in comScore and Nielsen. While BrightRoll first announced a partnership with Nielsen back in December 2013, Wednesday's announcement adds that Nielsen's Online Campaign Ratings (OCR) data will be available for free, as will comScore's validated Campaign Essentials (vCE).
However, he said the Nielsen and comScore integrations go beyond planning to include targeting, optimization and reporting. That takes the existing Nielsen partnership a couple steps further -- BrightRoll previously only had access to its targeting data -- and also gives buyers campaign reports for free.
"Typically, those reports costs thousands of dollars," Avila claimed.
As previously noted, BrightRoll has also partnered with BlueKai to give its clients the ability to create audience segments for mobile campaigns. Avila said that prior to this partnership, BrightRoll clients would use whatever first-party targeting data they had when running mobile campaigns.
Avila said BlueKai will be BrightRoll's first audience targeting partner with a focus on mobile.
"BlueKai has access to tens of thousands of audience segments, and any buyer on our platform can now use those to target users on mobile devices," he said. He added that the audience segments include consumers using iOS and Android devices as well as tablets.
Avila believes the ability to target audiences in mobile will be a "major catalyst for growth" in mobile advertising. He said the partnership with BlueKai is the "first of many to come" in regards to BrightRoll's mobile efforts. He also hinted that ultimately, the goal is to allow for cross-device targeting through BrightRoll.
The "final step" of the partnership included giving BrightRoll clients the ability to buy AdX inventory programmatically, including inventory on YouTube. Previously, BrightRoll had access to AdX, but Avila said acquiring the inventory was "more manual in nature." Google had full programmatic access to BrightRoll's inventory beginning in Q4 2013.

Physicians have a legal, ethical and professional duty to keep information about their patients confidential.
However, under certain circumstances, physicians are required by law to report particular events or conditions to the appropriate government or regulatory agency.
All mandatory reporting constitutes an exemption to normal physician-patient confidentiality requirements.
Breach of physician-patient confidentiality in these circumstances does not constitute professional misconduct.
Conversely, NOT reporting something that is required by law to be reported can result in the imposition of fines and/or charges of professional misconduct.


O'Connors' Bernie Teasdale (L) and Tom Hunt (R).
Leading farm machinery dealer O'Connors has welcomed two new staff members into their Shepparton sales team. Bernie Teasdale and Tom Hunt recently joined the company, bringing with them extensive dairy and broadacre experience, respectively.
The duo will work with the existing group of skilled professionals in the Shepparton Sales Team. According to O'Connors HR manager, Lisa Day, the appointments further strengthen the dealership's ability to partner with producers to deliver solutions tailored to their business requirements.
"Both Tom and Bernie bring unique skills to our team and we know that will directly result in benefits to our customers," said Lisa.
Responsible for the area stretching from Kyabram through to the Goulburn and Murray Valleys, Bernie's local knowledge and history is a key strength.
"I've been here for the last 20 years, working in dairy genetics, livestock, rural real estate and farm machinery," said Bernie, who lists enthusiasm and honesty as two of his key values. He's also committed to delivering business improvements for his customers, particularly in the dairy industry.
"It's going to be a tough year and input costs are a big drain. I'm keen to work with new and existing customers to find solutions that will help. For example, investing in equipment to do the job themselves, rather than relying on contactors. This can assist cash flow by spreading costs throughout the year and can eliminate stress associated with contactor availability," said Bernie, who was first drawn to O'Connors due to their history of professionalism and growth.
Like Bernie, Tom was drawn to O'Connors' reputation as a successful local business with a great culture.
Tom grew up in agriculture with his family, and spent some time on cattle stations in northern Queensland before studying at Marcus Oldham. He came to O'Connors from Cargill, where he spent the last five years in supply chain and grain accumulation and marketing.
"I really enjoy talking to farmers and working out ways to support their business," said Tom, echoing the sentiments of Bernie.
Tom will be focusing on broadacre sales in areas stretching from Tocumwal to Jerilderie, which is fitting given his experience in grain.
"O'Connors is proud of its reputation for delivering exceptional customer service and commitment, and we're confident Bernie and Tom will add value to the Shepparton team and clients," said Lisa.
"With six dealerships across south-east Australia, our unique position allows us to be an active member of our local communities while providing the reliability and professionalism that today's farm businesses need. This provides real benefits to customers, such as the ability to quickly freight parts between dealerships to minimise downtime and the chance to draw upon experience and knowledge that has been built over O'Connors' 54 years history," concluded Lisa.
