Season 7 of Game of Thrones may have just ended, but Lena Headey just confirmed that filming has already begun on season 8. And it seems like the final season of the hit show involves major beauty changes for multiple characters. Yes, wigs are coming.
Just last month, Emilia Clarke dyed her naturally brown hair platinum to match her character's iconic locks. "Mother of dragons meet Emilia. Emilia meet mother of dragons. If you squint just so you might never know," she captioned the pic of her new 'do. Now Headey, who plays Cersei Lannister, gave us a sneak peek at what hair changes the Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms might have in store.
Fans will recall Cersei's long, flowing hair was sheared before her walk of shame in season five. And for two seasons she kept the pixie cut, confusing fans about the show's timing. (Does the Queen's hair just magically not grow?) GoT producer Bryan Cogman later clarified on Twitter that Cersei may have just wanted it styled that way.
But judging by the actress's latest Instagram, Cersei might have had a change of heart. She posted a pic—alongside the show's hair and makeup team Kev Alexander and Candice Banks—wearing a super-blonde wig. "Season 8 ... Hair and Teeth ... HAIR AND TEETH !!! I @kevalexanderhair @candicebanks74," she captioned the image. Does this mean Cersei is taking her alleged peace treaty with Dany very seriously? To the point she will assume the Targaryens' iconic hair color? Is she a White Walker? Do the dragons also get wigs?
Fans were quick to comment on Headey's post with theories and hilarious remarks from "Ohh look its Sia's love children," to "Trying to sneak into Dragonstone like." Another fan speculated that Cersei's new look could actually be an old look: "Omg!! This short wig means we see flashback!! Hope it's battle of Trident."
Sadly, everyone will just have to wait until 2019 to find out what beauty looks are coming to Westeros.

Jay-Z goes to bat for Mississippi prisoners and files federal lawsuit
January 18, 2020 January 15, 2020 galileeka News
Rap mogul Jay-Z sued the head of the Mississippi Department of Corrections and the warden of the state penitentiary Tuesday on behalf of 29 prisoners who say the two officials have done nothing to stop the violence that has left five inmates dead in the past two weeks.
"These deaths are a direct result of Mississippi's utter disregard for the people it has incarcerated and their constitutional rights," according to the lawsuit, which was filed by Jay-Z's lawyer Alex Spiro at the U.S. District Court in Greenville, Mississippi.
It names as defendants DOC Commissioner Pelicia Hall and Mississippi State Penitentiary Superintendent Marshall Turner.
"We cannot treat people this way and it's time to do something about it," Spiro of the Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP law firm, said in a statement.
The Mississippi Department of Corrections replied to request for comment by saying it does not discuss pending litigation.
The lawsuit comes on the heels of a letter dated Jan. 9 that Spiro sent to Hall and Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant on behalf of Jay-Z and hip-hop artist Yo Gotti (Mario Mims) protesting the "inhumane conditions in prisons operated by the Mississippi Department of Corrections."
Spiro said they were "prepared to pursue all potential avenues to obtain relief for the people living in Mississippi's prisons and their families."
"This unthinkable spate of deaths is the culmination of years of severe understaffing and neglect at Mississippi's prisons," Spiro's letter reads. "As Mississippi has incarcerated increasing numbers of people, it has dramatically reduced its funding of prisons. As a result, prison conditions fail to meet even the most basic human rights."
"People are forced to live in squalor, with rats that crawl over them as they sleep on the floor, having been denied even a mattress for a cot," the letter said.
Spiro closed with a warning: "Roc Nation and its philanthropic arm, Team Roc, demand that Mississippi take immediate steps to remedy this intolerable situation."
Roc Nation is the entertainment agency that Jay-Z, aka Shawn Carter, founded in 2008.
The lawsuit names three prison inmates who were killed this year at the state penitentiary in Parchman, Mississippi.
"Walter Gates, an inmate of Unit 29E at Parchman was stabbed multiple times the night of New Year's Eve, and pronounced dead just after midnight," the suit states. "Roosevelt Holliman was stabbed to death in a fight the next day. And Denorris Howell, an inmate of Unit 291 at Parchman was stabbed multiple times and pronounced dead the day after that."
Violence behind bars has been a long-festering problem in the Mississippi prison system. A 2014 investigation by The Clarion Ledger found that "gangs rule" the prisons and while corrections officials insist there is "zero tolerance" for violence, it continues unabated.

A: It appears you have failed to follow the installation instructions for the project you are using.
The error is caused by a required python package used by their ansible module. Be aware that ansible requires that said python package be available in the python interpreter it uses when it connects, not the python that is hosting ansible on the control system. Usually that python is described by the ansible_python_interpreter fact, but the best outcome is to ensure the module is installed by using the pip: module before invoking their check_point_mgmt: task

How Guitar Pedals Work
By: Gerlinda Grimes
History of Guitar Effects
The first amplified guitars appeared during the swing era in the early 1930s. Back then, big bands ruled the day, and horn players were the stars. Naturally, guitarists wanted to grab some of those solos for themselves, but the natural sound of early amplified guitars was thin, reedy and thoroughly anticlimactic.
It's no surprise that guitarists quickly began looking for ways to pump up their sound. The very first guitar effects were built into instruments themselves. In the 1930s, Rickenbacker made a clunky Vibrola Spanish guitar with motorized pulleys that jiggled the bridge to create a vibrato effect. In the 1940s, DeArmond manufactured the world's first standalone effect, a type of tremolo. Many guitarists looked for a way to reproduce the natural reverb and echo they enjoyed during soundchecks in empty halls. Guitarist Duane Eddy outfitted a 500-gallon metal water tank with a speaker at one end and a microphone at the other to create an artificial echo chamber for recording. However, there was no way he could have used such a contraption on stage [source: Hunter].
By the late 1950s, many amplifiers featured built-in tremolo, vibrato, echo and reverb effects; guitarists like Chet Atkins, Luther Perkins and Roy Orbison used these to produce the now-classic rock 'n' roll, "slapback" echo sound on stage. In the early 1960s, tape-based echo units, such as the Watkins Copicat, heavily influenced the sound of British beat rock [source: Hunter].
Early standalone guitar effects were powered with vacuum tubes. They were bulky, expensive, fragile and not very practical for live performance. Then, in the early 1960s, the transistor became widely available. For the first time, engineers were able to create affordable, portable standalone effects, such as the Uni-Vibe Jimi Hendrix used on his song "Machine Gun." By the late 1970s, manufacture of affordable, solid-state effects had exploded, creating a whole new gear market that continues to thrive today.
Let's take a look at each major type of effects pedal. First up, we'll explore pedals that affect dynamics.

This volume contains a selection of 43 sermons arranged in chronological order. Beginning with what may be Luther's earliest extant sermon and ending with the last he delivered before his death, this collection of sermons can give the reader a glimpse into the Reformer's development as a preacher. The 43 sermons in this volume represent but a fragment of Luther's total output. Even the two thousand sermons or more contained in the Weimar Edition of Luther's writings do not include all of Luther's sermons.


Recipe by Finbar Higgins, former Executive Chef at K Club, County Kildare, Republic of Ireland.
Warm the orange juice and icing sugar in a pot until the sugar dissolves.
Sieve the plain flour and cocoa powder together in a bowl and then add the orange juice mixture.
Melt the unsalted butter and whisk it into the mixture to form a paste. Refrigerate overnight.
Spread some of the mixture on to a Silpat or similar non-stick mat, place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Cut into 4½ in x ½ in strips while the paste is still hot and before it hardens.
Store the strips in an airtight container for service.
Pour the mixture into a Rowzer beaker and freeze.
Blitz in the Rowzer when needed. Alternatively, churn the mixture in an ice cream machine for 20 minutes and then freeze.
Mix the unsalted butter and icing sugar together in a bowl. Add the egg and mix well.
Sift in the plain flour and cocoa powder and bring together to form a thick dough.
Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Roll out the dough on a floured marble top or counter until 3mm thick. Grease a rectangular tin frame 15in x 4in x 1 in) with a little-unsalted butter and place it on a greased Silpat or similar non-stick mat.
Line the tin frame with the pastry, leaving a little of the pastry hanging over the edge, then transfer to the fridge to rest for 30 minutes (to prevent shrinkage during cooking).

Boil the liqueur in a saucepan, whisk in the sugar and agar-agar and bring the liquid back to the boil.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool to 54°C.
Transfer to a disposable piping bag and snip a tiny cut at the tip of the bag to allow a small amount to drip out.
Place the bag over the oil and allow drops to fall into the oil until the bag is empty. The little pearls will set as they sink in the oil.
Pass the oil through a sieve to extract the pearls and then wash them with cold water to remove any excess oil.
Put the chocolate buttons, cocoa powder, icing sugar and sunflower oil in a heatproof bowl and place over a pot of simmering water to melt.
Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined.
Remove from the heat and store at room temperature.
Using a paint brush, paint a line of the chocolate paint along the plate.
Sprinkle a light line of the Grue de Cacao along the length of the paint.

Housekeeping- The standard is usually to tip $1 per person/per day. My kids help make "mousekeeping" envelopes before we leave with the appropriate tip inside. It is a time saver to do this before you go, so you won't have to fumble around with cash before starting your day. Remember to leave one everyday because you may not always have the same person.
Table Service Dining- The standard is 18%-20% and on your bill you will see a suggested amount for gratuity. Allears.net and wdwinfo.com both have current menus and prices to make it easier to estimate your tip. If you have six or more in your dining party, the gratuity is automatically 18%. You can pay the tip with cash, credit/debit card, room charge or even with a Disney gift card.
Luggage- The general rule is $1 per bag, you may want to tip a little more if the bag is big or bulky. For luggage handling, I tip anyone who helps with my luggage while I am present.
Magical Express/Disney shuttle- If your Magical Express driver helps you with bags or just really shows you exceptional service, then I definitely tip. Transportation inside of the parks, tipping is not expected.

Trade has a role to play in making the COVID-19 response more effective, says WTO DDG Agah
Posted on 13. October 2020 12. October 2020 by vbodmer
On behalf of the four Deputy Directors-General, DDG Agah addressed heads of WTO member delegations on October 12, 2020, and emphasised "the importance of open and predictable markets to foster a strong and inclusive recovery for all countries". In his remarks he highlighted the work done by the DDGs to ensure stability and continuity during the transition period until a new Director-General takes office, and reminded members that the policy choices adopted at the WTO and domestically will matter for stimulating job creation and growth.

Discussing the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts, DDG Agah called on members to ensure that trade contributes, in every way possible, to making the COVID-19 response more effective. He also noted that this was an opportunity for the trading system to emerge stronger from this crisis and better-equipped to respond to the aspirations of all members by "bringing ongoing reform efforts to fruition, in the shape of new agreements and renewed cooperation".

Q: Typescript: How to have a conditional return type and have values types vary together I have a useSelectedToggle hook which allows coupling of the UI state to the open/closed state of the dialog it will appear in. If the toggle is open then the value is defined (T), if the toggle is closed then the value is null. How would I type this more strictly so that if isOpen is true then selectedValue is T and vice versa? Likewise, if isOpen is false then selectedValue has to be null. Thanks!
import React from 'react';
import { useToggle } from '../useToggle/useToggle';

export interface UseSelectedToggleType<T> {
  isOpen: boolean;
  openWith: (val: T) => void;
  close: () => void;
  selectedValue: T | null;
}

// Couple state used in a dialog to its open/closed state
export function useSelectedToggle<T>(initialValue?: T): UseSelectedToggleType<T> {
  const [selectedValue, setSelectedValue] = React.useState<T | null>(initialValue ?? null);
  const { open: toggleOpen, isOpen, close } = useToggle();

  const openWith = (val: T) => {
    setSelectedValue(val);
  };

  const closeWith = () => {
    close();
    setSelectedValue(null);
  };

  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (selectedValue !== null) {
      toggleOpen();
    }
    // eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
  }, [selectedValue]);

  return {
    isOpen,
    openWith,
    close: closeWith,
    selectedValue,
  };
}

A: Typescript has conditional types, you can use this if you want to provide some simple logic in your typescript type. Here doc you can read
This is the simple example they are using:
type Cat = { meows: true };
type Dog = { barks: true };
type Cheetah = { meows: true; fast: true };
type Wolf = { barks: true; howls: true };

// We can create a conditional type which lets extract
// types which only conform to something which barks.

type ExtractDogish<A> = A extends { barks: true } ? A : never;

// Then we can create types which ExtractDogish wraps:

// A cat doesn't bark, so it will return never
type NeverCat = ExtractDogish<Cat>;
// A wolf will bark, so it returns the wolf shape
type Wolfish = ExtractDogish<Wolf>;

So in your use case, I think you can do this

type isOpenSelected<A> = A extends {isOpen:true} ? A : never

export interface UseSelectedToggleType<T> {
  isOpen: boolean;
  openWith: (val: T) => void;
  close: () => void;
  selectedValue: isOpenSelected<T>;
}

I wrote the code in a sluggish manner, but I hope you can fix your issue with this information. I hope I was helpful

Here's some advice on how to get some time off from work: Have your daughter send a really cute letter to your employer, asking them to give you a day off.
Bonus points if the letter is written in crayon.
One little girl decided to give her dad a hand. She wrote his employer, which happens to be Google, a letter, asking that they cut him some slack with the work schedule.
Can you please make sure when daddy goes to work, he gets one day off. Like he can get a day off on Wednesday. Because daddy only gets a day off on Saturday.
Perhaps it was the crayon, or perhaps it was that final nudge about it being summer, but Google obliged.
In a letter back to Katie, her dad's boss, Senior Design Manager Daniel Shiplacoff, not only complimented Katie's dad on his hard work, but also gave him a bonus week off. Since it is summer, after all.
A Google spokesman confirmed to The Blaze that the letter is, in fact, the real deal.
Cool stuff. Even the ones at the top of the ladder have a heart – sometimes.
Heartarming . Thank you .
That is nice, Greetings from Germany!
Innocence speaks better than anything else!
My gosh. What a touching post. Little girl writes to the titan of the tech world and her wish was granted. Commendable act by the Daniel, and Katie gets her dad on his birthday. Cute and adorable post.
Thanks for sharing, It is emotional post which teach us that parent and kids must spent some time together.
Let me get this straight – this man gets only one day off a week for as long as his child can remember, and the Google execs are saints for giving him some of those second days of the weekend back in comp time?

Millennial employees have a reputation as job hoppers. While that rep isn't entirely undeserved, a new study by OC Tanner reveals the problem isn't millennials—it's their jobs. Keep reading to find out what your company might be doing wrong and what you can do to retain your millennial employees.
The majority of millennials in the survey (60 percent) have worked at 2 – 4 companies. However, 24 percent have worked at five or more places.
The growing dissatisfaction of millennial job-hoppers isn't all that's worrisome. When 20 percent of entry-level workers don't trust their managers, and more than one-third are bored, feel stuck or believe work is damaging their health, there's something seriously wrong.
Companies that are even marginally better than average in these six categories enjoy a host of benefits, OC Tanner reports. Their employees are substantially more engaged. They're more likely to be innovative. They have higher-than-average revenues. To boost your business "above average," take these steps:Millennials have a lot to offer your business. Keep them happy at work, and their energy, passion and creativity will help power your company to new heights.
1. Purpose: Three-fourths of millennials in a Deloitte survey believe businesses have the potential to help solve society's economic, environmental and social challenges—but just 47 percent believe businesses behave ethically, down from 62 percent last year. Give your employees a sense of purpose by clearly conveying your company's vision and mission, how it contributes to making the world a better place, and the role their job plays in the big picture.
2. Opportunity: Even entry-level millennial employees want to strut their stuff. Give them ownership of a project or the opportunity to lead a group. Provide the tools and information they need, then let them take charge of the job.
3. Success: Providing growth opportunities helps millennial employees develop the skills they need for success. Be sure to celebrate both team and individual achievements.
4. Appreciation: Millennials crave feedback about their performance. Tell them how they're doing daily, not just during performance reviews.
5. Wellbeing: Health insurance and flexible work schedules are two of the top benefits millennial employees want, Pentegra reports. See if your health insurance offers an employee wellness plan.

Industry Analysis / Wed 20 Jul 2016
Investing in artificial intelligence: What's all the fuss about?
Artificial intelligence is one of the most exciting and transformative opportunities of our time, argues Nathan Benaich, an investor at London-based investment firm Playfair Capital.
While the field has gone through two cycles of bull ('50s-'70s and '80s) and bear ('70s and '97-'93) markets, where expectations were hyped up only to eventually fall short of their promises, I think this time is different.
From my vantage point as a venture investor at Playfair Capital, where I focus on investing and building a community around AI, I think it's a fantastic time to build and invest into companies creating or leveraging AI for their products and services.
There are three key reasons. First, our addictive usage of the internet, software products and smartphones – all two billion of them – has created data assets that describe our behaviours, interests, knowledge, connections (and more) at a scale and granularity that has never existed before.
This is the key raw material with which we can build learning systems. Second, the costs to compute and store data are both falling precipitously, making computationally-intensive applications affordable and tractable.
Third, research communities are publishing significant improvements to the design and development of learning systems that accelerate the pace at which we see real world applications emerge.
Where is AI applied?
Many of the underlying tools employed to build AI systems, such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, machine learning and deep learning, are already out in the wild powering software services we know and love.
The vast data silos that exist within the public domain, enterprises, research institutions and government data portals present analytical opportunities both for their owners and for companies able to address new questions with a holistic view of this data.
Indeed, companies such as DueDil, in business intelligence; Stratified Medical, in life sciences; or PeopleGraph, in search; have employed NLP, graph theory, machine learning and information retrieval to extract new high-value signals in their domains that would otherwise be missed.
There are also many types of tasks that are inefficiently completed by knowledge workers because they are repetitive, cumbersome and data-heavy. Companies such as Tractable, in auto repair insurance; Gluru, in contextual file management; and Kreditech, for consumer credit scoring; demonstrate AI's ability to drive significant efficiency gains. AI can also improve problem solving in domains that otherwise rely on deep expertise developed over many years.
For example, both Ravelin, in online fraud detection/prevention; and Unbabel, in machine translation; are cognisant of the value in having human experts-in-the-loop. This framework is powerful because it complements AI-driven results with human expertise and enables active learning from feedback to improve performance over time.
AI is also a key enabling driver for autonomous agents on land, air and sea, as well as virtual and augmented reality. Indeed, computer vision, deep learning and reinforcement learning are pivotal for companies like Mobileye, which supplies the autopilot technology for Tesla, and SkyCatch, a drone data software platform.
Given the R&D-heavy nature of this space, there is a rather unique opportunity that focuses on productising core technologies that are part and parcel of the AI ecosystem. For example, Cloudera and Databricks market enterprise data analysis solutions using Apache Hadoop and Spark, respectively, while Seldon and Ayasdi provide AI infrastructure and tools as a service.
Further along the R&D spectrum, we find the likes of Google DeepMind and Vicarious working on general learning architectures that will bear fruit in the longer term.
Building and investing in AI
While many of the same company-building principles apply, a specific set of operational, commercial and financial challenges manifest in the AI space. Working on AI problems requires significant domain expertise and R&D efforts.
While barriers to entry are being chipped away by popular open source frameworks like Torch, Theano, Caffe or TensorFlow, they don't erase the problem altogether. The first issue this poses is one of talent sourcing and retention.
Here, founders should talk about the hard research problems their company solves to attract interest from the best engineers who care about advancing the status quo in their field.
Second, it's important to balance the longer-term R&D route with monetisation in the short term by scoping out paid client work early on. This approach can also be a means to bootstrap a learning system with much needed data.
What's more, given that users will often be benchmarking an AI product's performance against a result achieved by a human, the best teams develop their technology in close collaboration with end users.
Indeed, dedicating resources to product research, design and experience as an afterthought is not an option in a world where many products exist that solve the same pain.
While it's clear many industries are awash with interest in AI, the buyer's knowledge and adoption of this technology is often nascent (exceptions being FinTech and AdTech). Hence, it's key to understand how value is measured and benchmarked in a use case, how data can be accessed for training and learnings shared across multiple clients and which business models work as a function of sales cycles.
On the financial markets front, last year was a record year for investments (312 rounds in 267 companies, +20% vs 2014) and exits (42 liquidity events, +41% vs 2014) in private AI companies.
However, this sector accounted for only 1% of the $129bn of invested capital and 3,411 exits in the broader technology market in the same year. Indeed, we're still in the early days of value creation with AI; two thirds of the financings were at the Seed and Series A stage.
Of note for entrepreneurs, North American companies accounted for 85% of all capital invested, 71% of exits and raised 5x larger late stage rounds compared to their peers in the rest of the world.
Reassuringly, the UK is pulling its weight as the second most active country after the US. Indeed, SwiftKey, VocalIQ and DeepMind were all founded and run in the UK and later acquired by US-based technology giants Microsoft, Apple and Google, respectively.
Bullish outlook
I'm bullish on the value to be created with AI across our personal and professional lives. More support is needed for companies driving long-term innovation – VC was born to fund moonshots after all.
Given that access to technology is increasingly commoditised, the winning strategy for building a sustainable advantage may in fact be non-AI and non-technical in nature, eg the user experience layer.
As such, there's a renewed focused on core principles: build a solution to an unsolved, high-value, persistent problem where AI is the best fit tool as a means to this end.

A bicyclist recently sustained a serious head injury when he was struck by a sport utility vehicle (SUV) while crossing Belmont Street in Brockton. The 55-year-old biker was reportedly not wearing a helmet when he was hit by an eastbound Toyota RAV4. During the accident, the bicyclist apparently flew into the windshield of the vehicle. Following the crash, the biker was reportedly transported by emergency helicopter to a Boston area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
According to Brockton Police Officer Michael Powers, the driver of the SUV was not speeding above the posted limit of 35 miles per hour at the time of the collision. Although the driver was questioned at length by the Brockton police, she was not issued a traffic citation. The exact cause of the crash is currently under investigation.
Automobile and other crashes are reportedly common occurrences on Belmont Street. The recent bicycle accident occurred about 200 feet from the location where a new crosswalk will soon be installed. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation also has plans to install approximately $2.38 million in safety improvements at the nearby intersection. The offset intersection, where Lorraine and Linwood Avenues intersect with Belmont Street about 65 feet apart, was the scene for 56 accidents between 2005 and 2007. During that time, it was reportedly the 68th most dangerous intersection in all of Massachusetts.
Within about 15 minutes of the bicycle accident, the Brockton Police Department was called to another pedestrian accident on North Montello Street. In that crash, a child was allegedly hit by a motor vehicle. Rescue crews reportedly transported the child to Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital by ambulance. The extent of the child's injuries was not disclosed.
Unfortunately, bicyclists and pedestrians throughout Massachusetts are hurt in collisions with cars, motorcycles, and trucks every day. Pedestrian accidents may result from speeding, driver inattention or impairment, dangerous road conditions, inclement weather, vehicle defects, and other factors. When a bicyclist or pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, the resulting injuries are often life threatening or fatal. A pedestrian who was hurt due to a driver's negligence or carelessness may be eligible to recover compensation for medical expenses, suffering and pain, any resulting disability, and other damages. In addition, the family of someone who was killed by a negligent driver may be able to file a wrongful death claim. If you or a loved one was hurt in an accident in Massachusetts, you should contact a skilled personal injury attorney to discuss your options for recovery.
If you were harmed in a bicycle or pedestrian accident, call the Law Offices of Sousa & Sousa, P.C. at (508) 230-5300 in Brockton or (508) 823-6111 in Taunton today.

Trim extra fat from beef cheek. Season , to taste, with salt, pepper and carne asada seasoning all over. Wrap tightly in heavy foil paper and place in crock pot.
Fill with water halfway. Cook on high for 6 hours or on low overnight. Remove from crock pot and place into a serving dish. Unwrap carefully and be careful with the hot broth in the foil packet. Shred with two forks.
I am so impressed with the quality of this beef cheek from Rumba Meats. This is a no fuss and easy recipe for some of the best, authentic beef barbacoa tacos! I am enjoying that carne asada seasoning as well.
Tips~ When cooking the barbacoa, I like to wrap it tightly in foil paper. This allows the fat to cook without it sitting in the water directly and eventually in all the rendered fat. Easy clean-up for the pot too!
Tips~ I like to cool the barbacoa, then chill overnight. I then remove most of the fat that has solidified. Heat, shred and enjoy some tacos!!
*I also added some chopped cilantro when I pulled it off the heat.
1. In a skillet, add oil and heat to medium. After a minute, add the onions, garlic and chile peppers. Season lightly with salt and pepper and saute fro 5 minutes.
2. Add the barbacoa and cook for a few minutes. Add the maggi sauce and vinegar. Cook for another 5 minutes. Taste for salt, add a little more pepper to finish.
Garnished with a Toasted Chile de Arbol Tomatillo Salsa. Click link to see full recipe.

SXSW Comedy Film Reflections: Keanu, War on Everyone, Everybody Wants Some & My Blind Brother
April 1, 2016 Larry Heath
As we look back on our time at SXSW last month, we wanted to briefly reflect on four comedy films we caught during the festival. We'll give these the full review treatment closer to their Australian release dates, but in the meantime, here are our first thoughts on the overwhelmingly impressive run of films at this year's festival:
Screening as a work-in-progress, the big screen debut of comedic duo Key & Peele cements the Comedy Central stars as the biggest names in the comedy world right now. The film – which was written years before John Wick but holds a clever connection to the film (deliberate or not – though before screening the film the pair told the crowd that if they crowd didn't like the film they'd just rename it John Wick 2) – sees the duo infiltrate a local gang in order to try and get their cat and film namesake "Keanu" back.
Director Peter Atencio alongside writers Jordan Peele and Alex Rubens make no apologies for taking aim with a fairly weak plot, giving themselves plenty of wiggle room for a run of hilarious sequences. The film is at its best with Keanu is involved, which sadly means the middle half lags quite a bit, though there are some fantastic cameos throughout, and a few stand out moments. And with a couple of minor exceptions, though wholly predicable – and sadly with many of the best moments spoilt by its trailer – it's nonetheless an enjoyable and regularly laugh-out-loud comedy that shouldn't disappoint fans of the duo.
Review Score: THREE STARS (OUT OF FIVE)
Keanu is released in Australia on 21st April 2016. With some changes expected to the film between now and then, we'll review the final cut closer to the date!
War on Everyone
Pausing from his planned trilogy of films with Brendan Gleeson – which has already seen the release of the brilliant The Guard (2011) and Calvary (2014) – English/Irish director John Michael McDonagh makes his American debut with the incredibly black comedy War on Everyone, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Michael Peña – who are both brilliant as apathetic police officers, serving only themselves as they leave a… let's call it a "unique stamp on the world around them".
This film is dark. It's as far from PC as you'll get. If you're easily offended: this will not be for you. But for the rest of us, it may be the most enjoyable and hilarious film you'll see this year. Don't watch any trailers, just go in with an open mind and enjoy. You may feel bad for laughing, but as it seems McDonaugh enjoys shining a light on the worst of humanity, it's designed for just that reaction. And it's a fantastic cinematic experience as a result.
Review Score: FOUR STARS (OUT OF FIVE)
Read our interviews with the cast and crew of War on Everyone HERE.
Everybody Wants Some
Arguably Director Richard Linklater's most unadulterated and enjoyable productions ever. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. Fans of Dazed and Confused will not be disappointed, and in many ways he has surpassed his spiritual predecessor. This comes thanks to greater studio support, a fantastic, mostly unknown, cast and a more focused script. Both a great college film that puts it alongside the likes of Animal House, and a surprisingly good sports film, embedding us in the first days of training for the College Baseball season. You won't want to miss this film – in the context of its genre, it's absolute perfection.
Review Score: FIVE STARS (OUT OF FIVE)
The film will be released in Australia 23rd June and we'll have the full review for you then! Look out for our interviews with the cast and director soon too!
My Blind Brother
In some ways this is a cruel comedy – as an audience you are forced to hate the film's "Blind Brother", played by Adam Scott, while the headline cast – Jenny Slate and Nick Kroll – the ones we are meant to root for, are equally detestable in their own right. But by placing our leads on a level playing field, and by setting the bar so low as to what's "likeable" about a character in the film, writer/director Sophie Goodhart has miraculously created a heart-warming and often hilarious film. There were some "laughing so hard I can't breathe, please send help" moments as one of the most bizarre love triangles you've ever seen on screen played itself out. And unlike so many films in its genre, the film is neither predictable nor clichéd. Goodhart manages to surprise you right until the last notes. Which is no mean feat.

Gregory Coates - "Making Mistakes (Blue)"
failed drawing and plastic cube
Making Mistakes are a series of drawing and painting on paper which started flat but are balled up crushed and placed into a plastic box as frame or storage. The works are also received flat by a collector who is given instructions on how to fold or crumple each piece. The dates are scattered as these works are from years of past mistakes in Coates' studio practice which happen in the USA, Germany, and Japan.
Gregory Coates studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. He has held numerous residencies that informed his work, such as Gasworks in London, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Triangle Workshops in Cape Town, South Africa, Pine Plains, New York, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation in New Orleans. Coates' artwork is included in museum collections such as the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, The Virginia Museum of Art, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Paul Pozzoza Museum in Düsseldorf, Germany, the City of Obama in Japan, and many corporate and private collections. A large commissioned piece is installed at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. Coates is a Joan Mitchell Foundation and New York Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Pollock-Krasner- and Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation (Emergency) Grant.

Olivier Rousteing Documentary: Wonder Boy
There are many new and old complexities in the fashion industry. It seems that the industry is becoming more common nowadays for people to embrace who they are. This factor is more apparent in the way companies are marketing themselves and coming to be more inclusive. In parallel with the embrace of different cultures, body types, etc. people are trying to find who they are in the midst of all the madness. It is important that we reflect on the fact that no matter how much money or fame a person has, they are still human. They have feelings, traumas and more likely, a luggage full of emotional baggage. Keeping this in mind we can bring light to creators such as the director of Balmain, Olivier Rousteing. Being one of the biggest names in fashion, Rousteing started his career with Balmain when he was 25 years old. With all of the success and fame, he still had questions revolving around his identity and knowing who he truly was. Being adopted at the age of one, he never truly knew who his birth parents were. In his later years at the age 31, he wanted to be apart of a documentary about his life. Rousteing then tried to find his birth mother, and he discovered that she was Black. This tells us it's never too late for self-discovery no matter the level of success or age.
"But it's more than a biopic, it's a story to which we didn't know the end."
— Rousteing
Before his great stardom, Rousteing was a French student. He studied at Ecole Supérieure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode (EMOD) in Paris and graduated in 2003. After graduation, he started working for Robert Cavalli. Earning the position of creative director in 2011, at 25 years old, Rousteing became one of the youngest creative directors in the fashion industry. Rousteing has put Balmain on the map as an iconic brand with stars such as Kylie Jenner endorsing his work. In 2018, for Beyonce's Coachella performance, Balmain was the powerhouse behind the majority of outfits that today are copied and even put in current museums. Behind all of the success and dressing stars, there are still people out there trying to discover themselves.
THE BOY. THE DOCUMENTARY.
The documentary is titled "Wonder Boy." "With Olivier, we wanted to tell the story of someone looking for their origins because we believe it's very important to know who you are to know where you're going," said film director, Anissa Bonnefont at the premiere. "He had an insane amount of courage to accept being filmed during his search. I believe it will help others. It's a topic that goes beyond us."
Emotionally, it takes a lot for a person to search for their birth parents– to do so in front of the world can even be harder. One might not know how to handle what they discover, and, in this case, Balmain personally discovered his true race which was the opposite of what he's been telling himself for years. Mentally that is very tough to handle. Your thoughts about yourself have been not necessarily a lie but not true either. "It's a strange moment in my life. Usually, a documentary happens when you're 80 or 90, or when you're actually dead," Rousteing told the audience. "But it's more than a biopic, it's a story to which we didn't know the end." The documentary explores the journey of one person with an issue that speaks too many.
GROWTH FOR BLACKS IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY
For the fashion industry, this means that there is another African American in the lead roles, behind the scenes and putting clothing on your favorite models. The lack of diversity in fashion has been extremely rare up until recent years. Rousteing was under the impression that he was mixed with a variety of races due to his lack of knowledge of his parents, and his light skin tone. However, being fully Black in this industry is another hurdle and can come off as a completely different variety of situations and stigmas than the other different issues people deal with being of mixed races. This changes the conversations that people have regarding the creative diversity in fashion. For example, in 2018 when Virgil became the creative director for Louis Vuitton, the news spread like a wildfire. Instagram and Twitter were flooded with posts that ranged from "History has been made. One of the first black leaders of a high-end brand" to "This is inspiring, now any young Black boy can make history just like this." Now I am left to ponder whether or not this changed people's sentiments when it comes to those higher-paid roles in fashion. Of course, it may not change the history of what happened with Louis Vuitton, though, in essence, it does change the narrative of who is inside of the powerhouses.
TRANSPARENCY OF THE INDUSTRY
There has been this dynamic change in fashion in such a short period of time from all aspects. The glitter and glamour are still present, yet there is a transparency that has never been seen before but is starting to surface now. In this documentary, you see behind the scenes of the fashion industry. Even better in the personal life of those creative leaders you know and admire. You can log onto Instagram and see Olivier walking down the catwalk; but when sitting looking at this screen, you see a man that's alone. Not quite lonely, but sitting at a bare table, no longer surrounded by stars — there's no glamour. It is still the same industry you know and love, but the much more relatable side. The other side, the life that we can all say we've experienced before. The searching for our identity, a night alone after we've had the time of our lives out, the unknown; these are all things we've seen in ourselves and others.
Rihanna's impact in the fashion industry
When it comes to fashion, beauty and overall bad-assness, there is one person who we all admire: Rihanna Fenty. The Barbadian icon has paved the way for women and people of color in almost every industry. She has transformed her enormous popularity from her music career into a billion-dollar empire. Newly labeled "the richest woman in music" surpassing long reigning champs Madonna and Celine Dion, Rihanna has become a powerhouse we've never seen, showing the true power of what Black-owned brands bring to the table.
Known for her outlandish outfits, Rihanna has given birth to phrases such as, "it's not cute until Rihanna wears it," or "Rihanna can wear anything." With such a big hype to live up to and such a notable reputation it was only the smartest move to drop a fashion brand. Leave it up to the mega star to create not only fashion but luxury clothing. Rihanna is now the owner of her very own 600-million-dollar fashion brand. Starting by being creative director of Puma, she got her first whiff of being the frontrunner of a brand people were wearing. Fenty, which began as one of the first brands to include a larger range of shades including more variations for darker skin colors, transformed itself into a beautiful makeup brand that now includes highlighters, lip glosses and more. "I've been slowly evolving throughout the fashion world," Rihanna told The New York Times, "First wearing it, buying it, being recognized for my style and then collaborating with brands. I never just wanted to put my name on something and sell my license. I'm very hands-on, so I wanted to take it slowly and gain respect as a designer." The multi-faceted artist was the first Black woman to join the Louis Vuitton and Moët Hennessy (LVMH) empire along with other brands such as Fendi, Dior and other high rollers. This is also the first time the company has added a brand under their belt since 1987.
However, with luxury comes a price, sometimes even a hefty price. Rihanna created a brand that was high fashion and, in turn, a portion of people were not happy about the price point. It seems as though no one juxtaposed the idea of quality and money when the advertisements came out. The thought of Rihanna launching a brand that would be in the best budget for college students, for example, could have been due to the price point of her beauty line, Fenty Beauty. While it's still quite expensive compared to the drug store brands of make up it doesn't exactly break the bank with its $18 lip glosses. Also, on the list of Rihanna's more affordable products, her company SavagexFenty, does not cost too much of a pretty penny either. The brand sells undergarments such as their wide range of sized panties and bralettes for as low as even $20. On June 19, 2019 when Fenty first opened up for the world to shop, the bustier white dress tops, one-piece denim dresses and retro-styled glasses all caught everyone's eye, but the price threw everyone for a loop. The cost of a pair of glasses by Fenty started roughly at the cost of $300. It came as a surprise to the customers who were used to quality products, but low-pricing associated with each item.
Being in the social media age of the world this divided the internet in two. Half of consumers were of the opinion that this reaction is what is expected when you are dropping a luxury clothing brand under the famous name LVMH. The other half complained and said that the price was simply too high. This started the argument that people believe when a Black brand is the face of something it automatically has to be cheaper because that is what everyone expects.
Nonetheless, whichever side you may seem to fall on, this is not detering Rihanna from creating anything her heart desires. Never addressing comments such as these, the star talked about creating this line all from her own artistic expression; "Designing a line like this with LVMH is an incredibly special moment for us. Mr. Arnault has given me a unique opportunity to develop a fashion house in the luxury sector, with no artistic limits," Fenty told Business Insider. She says she never puts out anything that she would not wear herself. These items come straight off the runway to your closet, which she prides herself on being the first innovator to do. Surely, other high quality brands will soon begin to follow suit due to consumers living in the moment of now and having everything accessible to themselves within seconds or days.
There is a high importance placed on what this brand represents that is far more than fashion — it displays the mark of a new era; an era that includes genderless clothing, people of all body types and no limit on what the front runner of the show looks, sounds or comes from. "I'm young. I'm new to the family. I'm a woman. Those factors do come into play, but I will not apologize for them, and I will not back down from being a woman, from being Black, from having an opinion. I'm running a company and that's exactly what I came here to do," Rihanna informs Time Magazine. As a child who grew up on the island of Barbados, to now being one of the richest women in the world, it is hard to put a limit on the possibilities of someone's dreams. The world is changing, and whether Rihanna is making music or creating clothing, one thing's for sure: she's shown us the power of having a widely inclusive brand. Using her influence, she has inspired others by showing that everyone matters, and anything is possible.

It seems the problem facing Gionee may have taken a new turn, as report revealed that the company's official website has been taken down. Although the India arm is still working, the official Chinese website is no longer accessible.
Trouble started for the Chinese brand back in 2017, when a report revealed the company owed a total of CNY 20.2 billion ($3 billion approximately) to 648 creditors. The same year, Gionee also laid off a large percentage of its staff.
It is said that that the company's chairman lost CNY 10 billion ($ 1.4 billion, approximately) in a bet at a casino, an allegation he denied. He later admitted to borrowing a chunk of the company's fund but never revealed what it was used for. The company filed for bankruptcy and was granted by the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court late last year.
With the website down, it is safe to say Gionee has officially shut down its business in China. While the Gionee India site may still up, it is unclear how long this may be.

Since certified athletic trainers began working in the clinical setting alongside physical therapists, there has been controversy between the two professions concerning the utilization of the ATCs. Although views of ATCs from the PTs' perspective have been speculated, there has been no conclusive research on this topic. The purpose of this study was to find out how physical therapists in the state of Michigan view ATCs in the clinical setting. The Health Team Stereotype Scale, which was developed by Dr. Harry Parker, was used to determine the PTs' attitudes toward the ATCs. There was a return rate of 47.4% (N = 121). The results showed that PTs had an overall favorable attitude toward ATCs in the clinical setting. PTs with more knowledge about the educational background of ATCs were more positive than PTs with less knowledge. PTs with experience in working with ATCs, and PT/ATCs also had a more positive attitude toward the ATCs.

Keep the party going: OwnBackup lands $240M at a $3.3B valuation
The Israeli startup, which helps enterprises backup their data from the cloud, has more than doubled its valuation in 6 months
Idan Ben Tovim / 10 Aug 2021 • 2 min read
The Israeli startup ecosystem proves once again that business is a-boomin'. Today (Tuesday), OwnBackup announced a $240 million Series E, doubling its total raised capital to date. Back in January, the company recorded "just" a $1.4 billion valuation, with today's round nearly tripling the valuation to $3.35 billion.
"The story of every business is written with data..."
The current round was led by Alkeon Capital and B Capital Group, with participation from BlackRock Private Equity and Tiger Global. Exiting investors, Insight Partners, Vertex Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Sapphire Ventures, also got in on the action. The company has raised almost $500 million to date, with this recent Series E rounding off quite the funding year -- starting in July of last year, when the company raked in $50 million.
OwnBackup's product enables daily, automated and secure backup of SaaS (software-as-a-service) and PaaS (platform-as-a-service) data, such as SalesForce, Slack and ServiceNow. According to the company, its platform is used by more than 1,000 businesses worldwide. This way, organizations can protect vital data stored in the cloud; in order to prevent data corruption and loss, ensure business continuity, and minimize operational disruptions. Today, the company also announced its entry into Microsoft's Dynamics 365 service.
The Israeli Unicorn startup develops tools for comparing and recovering stored data. The system helps enterprises cover data loss and corruption, whether as a result of human error, malicious intent, or errors that occur while installing applications and updates. The company notes that its system emphasizes security, privacy, and maintains GDPR regulation compliance. Additionally, Its archiving tool automatically transfers data that is no longer required in the workflow - while maintaining their integrity, accessibility and security.
"Our commitment to protecting our customers' data and providing solutions that enable precise, rapid recovery continues to grow. While the cloud is crucial to doing business, the mass adoption of SaaS has resulted in a huge amount of data, and our work with Salesforce, Microsoft and other critical SaaS ecosystems enables companies to thrive in today's digitally driven world," said Sam Gutmann, CEO of OwnBackup. "The story of every business is written with data, and this latest round of funding will support our ongoing vision to empower our customers to own and protect their data on any cloud platform."
OwnBackup was founded in 2015 by Eran Cohen, CTO Ariel Berkman, and VP Global Sales Ori Yankelev. Steering the wheel -- CEO Sam Gutman. The company is headquartered in New Jersey, with R&D based in Tel Aviv, and additional offices in London. OwnBackup's roster counts 500 employees.

LCD Soundsystem Dates
Sorry, there are no LCD Soundsystem dates.
LCD Soundsystem Biography
LCD Soundsystem emerged from New York City in July 2002 with James Murphy's first recording as LCD and third release on his DFA label, "Losing My Edge." Keyboardist/vocalist Nancy Whang and drummer Pat Mahoney were enlisted as LCD Soundsystem released singles including "Yeah," "Movement," and "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House," and the band's eponymous 2005 debut LP. Sound Of Silver, the second LCD Soundsystem album, was released in 2007 and featured the singles "North American Scum," "Someone Great," and "All My Friends." In 2010, the third LCD Soundsystem album, This Is Happening, was released, featuring the singles "I Can Change," "Drunk Girls," and "Pow Pow," and debuting in the US Top 10. On April 2, 2011, LCD Soundsystem performed The Long Goodbye, a three-hour-plus farewell concert at a sold out Madison Square Garden, chronicled by both a live album of the same name and the feature film documentary Shut Up And Play The Hits. After four years of silence, LCD Soundsystem released the new song "Christmas Will Break Your Heart" on December 24, 2015. The band returned to the stage with a pair of shows in New York City on March 27 and 28 of last year, and headlined festivals and select dates throughout 2016. LCD Soundsystem is James Murphy, Pat Mahoney, Nancy Whang, Al Doyle, Gavin Russom, Tyler Pope, Matt Thornley and Korey Richey.

Ambient Reaction
During a long, affecting political cycle, everyone has something to say about their viewpoints and reaction to things being said and done around us. We may find ourselves in a position when shooting that we feel we have a responsibility to create something beyond a topical critique or polemic, or to be too "on the nose" when choosing scenes and imagery to express ideas. It's easy to fall into the trap of cliches and "meme" but I think it isn't productive to throw work into the churn of media-cycle work, where the morning's outrages are intolerably boring by the afternoon.
In 2016, creating new personal work, I wanted to shoot a meaningful reaction to the year, and I wanted to shoot in America. I've seen a lot of good work about Rust Belt "Trump Towns" or the independent spirit of Bernie Sanders rallies, but I don't shoot that way, and I don't have any grand contribution to the pool of work that could stand out beyond what was being created.
So then, I consider my new photoessay, NO LAWS, to be an "ambient reaction" to the year. In a few scattered moments that correspond to significant political moments in the year (March, October, New Year's Eve), and two journeys (Montana, and Costa Rica), I shot work that expressed what I was feeling and seeing without ever addressing the subject matter directly. Montana, I considered to be part of an American soul--the freedom, libertarianism, of the West. Costa Rica is a personal locale, where my parents now live. Or, together, even though the locations bear little tangible relation, the connection of an American's soul to America's soul, versus expatriation and untethering from country. My home, where the family I grew up with no longer lives, and not my home, which in my parents' domicile in an unfamiliar place is filled with the iconography and memory of my youth.
I think, as a whole, it creates a message in the negative space of what it chooses to express directly, and what it chooses to not express. It is produced by an ambient reaction, or a way of looking closely at something without looking directly at it.

Q: NODEJS - SFTP - Handling process output At the moment I'm trying to use node-sftp in order to provide my nodejs script with the ability to SFTP with a private key.
That module appears to be broken since v 0.6 of node (tty.open is no longer a method).
So i've tried to use a child process and spawn my sftp command.
Now the connection appears to work fine (I checked the ftp servers logs @ /var/log/auth.log)
I can also see some output in the Node window...
Permanently added '46.x.x.x' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Connected to 46.x.x.x.
Changing to: /home/deploy/somefolder

When I connect directly via the command line using the following command it ends up with a prompt like sftp>, which is waiting for my FTP commands
sftp -o Port=22 -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o IdentityFile=private_key -o UserKnownHostsFile=/v/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o BatchMode=yes deploy@46.x.x.x:/home/deploy/somefolder

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might be going wrong?

A: Its hard to say without a little more detail, but I would take a look at:
https://github.com/chjj/pty.js/
This will emulate a tty device that you can read and write to.
If you can provide some additional code you have tried, we may be able to point you in a better direction.
You could also try cloning the node-sftp module from: https://github.com/ajaxorg/node-sftp.git and using the library directly instead of from npm, it looks like the latest version in github has support for node versions newer that 0.6

Q: When do I create a getter method without "get" in its name? The following question has been bothering me for a long time and I couldn't find any information on the naming conventions.
There is methods like:
java.util.Collection.size();

This method is actually a getter for the size of a Collection, yet it doesn't begin with "get" unlike regular getter methods.
So what are the naming conventions for these types of methods?

A: Collection.size() is not a typical getter as it is not a simple return of a field- it is the size of a collection, for this reason you don't have setSize(), since this is not a field you set- this is a 'calculated' value.
You can think of it this way- getter and setters usually go together, in order to encapsulate a field- if you can't do setX(), than it's not a typical getter/setter.
But this is only a matter of convention, there are people who believe in always using it without the words get or set.

A: There is no real 'rule' for this. Sometimes classes give you values by functions like size() or length(). Others will give it back by get...().
From my experience, lengths are usually got from size() or length() (like arrays), for other variables it goes by get...() (like in android - getHeight()).
You can say it because getters go with setters, if there is no setter to size - there wouldn't be a getter.

A: These methods come from the early versions of Java, the very first versions there were of Java 1 (v1.02, etc).
In this example, the Collections framework wasn't introduced yet. It was introduced only in Java 1.2. By then, we only had java.util.Vector and java.util.Hashtable.
After the introduction of the collections framework, these old classes were retrofitted to implement appropriate interfaces.

A:
without "get" in its name

In addition to the other answers, this is a small nit - if the variable is a boolean, one should use "is" rather than "get".


LDS Duke basketball player Frank Jackson was featured this week by ESPN for his faith and his unique opportunity to break stereotypes about the Church through his sports career. Below is an excerpt. Jackson discusses the decision to leave Brigham Young University, play for Duke, and possibly give up his dream of serving a full-time LDS mission.
There were no ultimatums and no pressure. Everyone — coaches, parents, friends — said they would honor whatever decision he made.
But how do you decide between a lifelong dream and a lifelong dream?
Jackson opted not to. He decided he could do both.
The purpose of an LDS mission is not simply to proselytize but also to live by example. Jackson realized that while he wouldn't immerse himself as Watanabe and his other friends will, he would have a pulpit and a platform that they don't have. Every interview, every television appearance offers a chance to explain what being a Mormon is — and more, it's a way to demystify the religion.

When creating your website design it's very easy to discuss how you want it to look and what's going to look the best to you. But what about the customers? Having a technical site might look amazing to you, but to your viewers it might be frustrating to use and difficult to get around. During the planning process for your website, try not to design your website with yourself in mind but of the view point of your customers.
The show and hide test, it's a brilliant way to de-clutter your website and only keep the essential items on your home page. To do this you would print out your home page and allow somebody who has never seen the site before to view it for 5 seconds, and then take the page away. Then ask them what they remember and what stood out the most to them. That way you will know what to keep on your site and what needs to go.
The squint test, this type of technique allows you to visualize what stands out the most on your web site. This can be done with any of the pages, and the idea is to get a blurred out version of your page then try and focus on what elements stand out. You want to make sure that all the parts that need the most focus are well highlighted and stand out to other features.
Heat mapping is a great way to visualize the behaviour patterns of your site visitors. It creates a map of most clicked areas and pages on your site, this can give you a good insight of what people are looking for within your site.
Another key point is researching your colour scheme and theme to insure that it is well target to your audience. This has to flow continuously throughout your site and relate to you business it's self. Also make sure your site map is clear and simple to access, a well flowing website is more likely to be recommended.
