Developer Community Programs
How mentors can empower you to start a community
Jorge Coca moved to the United States from Spain to finish his Engineering degree. As a developer he found his way to the local developer meetup community. He decided to start organizing meetups around Flutter. Jorge talks about the importance of having role models not only for self-development but also for building your professional network of contacts.
Jorge Coca
Jorge, how did you become involved in organizing meetups around Flutter?
When I see a group of people that I admire, I want to be part of that energy. I moved to the USA to finish my Engineering degree (I'm originally from Madrid, Spain), and as a software developer, I quickly discovered the local GDG and Android community. I started attending meetups and saw other developers sharing their knowledge. That inspired me to become a speaker myself and think about starting a community on my own. I used to work for a consulting company before my current job at BMW and had great mentors there. One of them, David Kinney, was organizing a conference in Chicago, SecondConf, and this was another opportunity to meet inspiring people.
Why did you feel like you wanted to start an independent community?
I've been an Android developer for a while and the community is obviously very experienced and mature. It's great, because you can learn a lot from people who are far ahead of you. This can, however, be overwhelming when you want to be actively involved, because you might feel like you have nothing to say or contribute. I definitely did feel like that for a while. My mentality changed the more I got involved and saw that a community is rich because the experience of its members is rich and diverse.
Why did you choose Flutter?
I started using Flutter for my own projects and saw great potential to start a community around it. Of course, I had no idea how to do it. In 2017, I was speaking at DroidCon New York and met some people from Flutter NYC who encouraged me to give it a try. I used my GDG Chicago contacts and with some initial help from them we organized our first Flutter study jam.
The timing was just right as Flutter release had been announced at Google I/O and a lot of developers wanted to try it out. Developers generally have a hard time to find time (laugh), but by joining a study jam they can socialize and learn together.
We have now a community of ~200 people (~50 people per meetup). I'm optimistic about our growth, because I see a lot of developers, especially students, coming up to me asking how they can be involved. We started a Slack channel to help the community to stay in touch outside of meetups. We share our resources on GitHub and I get a lot of positive feedback on how open and transparent we are. It makes people feel more included, even if they can't make it to an event.
You said that you had good mentors. Would you say that this has helped you overcome some initial doubts about being able to lead a community of your own?
I can speak only for myself, but being a young developer it meant a lot to have experienced people around me that coached me. Their guidance and leadership shaped how I now try to work with other people in the community and in my job. I want to motivate them to look for opportunities to grow and realize that there are people that can enable to make that happen for them.
What makes a good mentor based on your experience?
I think a good mentor recognizes your personality and acknowledges that people need different approaches to self-development. A mentor is there to support you to grow. Not only as a professional, but as a person.
Did being part of a developer community help you professionally?
Of course. You get to know a lot of people at meetups, you're building a network of contacts. You interact with each other while building something together. That makes me truly happy and this positive influence transcends to my work and private life.
When you start to speak at events, you're improving your social skills. I had to overcome some initial fears of speaking in front of people in English, which is not my native language. I felt I was being appreciated and supported by other members for just trying, and naturally became more confident over time. Believe me, experiences like this might even change your life (laugh).
Is there someone helping you run the community?
Well, I'm lucky that my employer supports my community activities with providing space and some snacks for meetups. I have my colleagues helping with event organization. Running the actual meetups is up to me for now.
Why do you think your employer supports your community activities?
Because I'm very persuasive (laugh). Seriously, being active is appreciated here and if you build a case, you can find support. BMW has been supporting tech events and conferences to showcase the interest in technology and community building (which is one of the company's values). The vehicle industry has been changing a lot in the recent years and BMW wants to lead these technology change efforts.
How do you find balance between your organizer's life, work and other things you have going on?
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see most of the things I'm involved in as an obligation. I'm enjoying my work and everything around it too. I know it's a challenge for a lot of people to find what they'd like to focus on, but that's not my case.
I have very supportive family and friends. They're willing to help if needed because they see it is of great importance to me.
That's great to hear. However, there will soon come the time when you'll need help running the community. How are you preparing for this?
Totally. I'm taking it step by step and there are a lot of things that I haven't figured out yet. I'm not afraid to ask for help if needed.
Jorge, what part of the community organizing do you enjoy the most and the least?
When I was younger, learning about technologies was most interesting and attractive. The more experienced as a developer I become, I see a lot of value in learning about human interactions and creating a healthy and open community environment.
I understand the need for management and reporting, but these bits are not my favorite.
Sometimes, when you bring a group of people together, interactions are not always positive and helpful. The idea of having toxic interactions among members worries me and I try hard to prevent it.
Where do you turn for advice?
I want to learn as much from other organizers as possible. As I said before, I'm super open and transparent and not afraid to ask questions. If I need advice or get feedback, I turn to my mentors. I work closely with the Google Flutter team, and their approach to community building is very inspiring. So it's a mix of resources and people.
What do you wish you had known before starting as a community organizer?
I naturally would like to please everyone and that's impossible. Feedback from your audience is important, but people will often tell you contradictory things. You have to have your ultimate and clearly defined goal in mind and be prepared that it will take time and patience to achieve it.
Jorge, what are you looking forward to in the future?
I am so excited to organize events around Flutter, maybe a hackathon. I want to engage more members to be active in organizing meetups and speaking. On a personal level, I'm just super grateful to be part of this amazing community of people around Flutter and other technologies.

When I first put my album out that was a very, very big deal for me, to put that body of work out there that I'd been working on for such a long time. I remember winning my award at NME and that was one of the first awards I'd ever won and that recognition and support really meant a lot to me."

Definition: Resistance training (also called strength training or weight training) is the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, anaerobic endurance and size of skeletal muscles.
Resistance training is based on the principle that muscles of the body will work to overcome a resistance force when they are required to do so. When you partake in resistance training repeatedly and consistently, your muscles become stronger.
Free weights: Such as dumbbells, Plates, kettle bells and Barbells.
Resistance Machines: Machinery with adjustable seats and weights to ensure correct form and posture.
Resistance bands: Big rubber bands that provide continuous resistance throughout a movement.
Yourself: your own bodyweight can be used as a form of resistance for exercises such as Squats, Chin-ups and Push-ups.
How can implementing Resistance training into your programme benefit you?
Enhanced performance of everyday tasks.
If you would like to add a form of resistance training into your gym programme please contact one of the team at reception who will specifically design it to cater your every need!
I had the pleasure of joining some of my members in one of their weekly hobbies to see what activities they do and to what health benefits it brings, be that physically and mentally.
Last week I organised to spend a morning with some of the members from Palms Leisure Club to join in on a few games of bowls. I was curious to see what the game brought to the trio and to see if they were gaining any health benefits by taking part.
It started off overcast but as the day went on the sun came out and there was a nice breeze making sure we all kept cool, down at the Trafalgar Crescent Green in Bridlington. It is a well looked after green with great views of the seafront and the people who look after and run the facilities there were very welcoming. As I'm not a pro myself and was my first time doing a sport like this I had to rent my bowls and shoes that I don't usually wear (see picture above) but surprisingly comfortable.
As you can imagine for a first timer, my game wasn't very strong to start with as I needed to get use to the bias of the bowls and the terrain that was put in front of me, however a few games in I got used the game and came victorious with myself winning a total of 7 games, Paul 5 games and both Alan and George winning 1 each. The feeling I felt afterwards was how I can imagine if England win the World Cup this year.
So is a low impact sport any good for your fitness?
My answer is YES. From taking part in a game that I found very enjoyable, it is great for both physical fitness and mental fitness. I'm not gaining the increased heart rate as to what I would if I was swimming, biking or going to the gym or burning the calories after a high intensity session in a class but what I am doing is keeping myself mobile. The amount of walking up and down, switching sides after each game and the lunge to when you bowl are enough to keep you relatively active while enjoying a hobby that people like Paul, Alan and George love. I can also see how this game is great for mental fitness. The social aspect to it is something that beats any sort of exercise as the banter flowed so did the laughs and it just made you feel at ease. If you are strong mentally then you are a strong person and I believe low impact sports like bowls is something that can help anyone.
So why not try something as simple as a game of bowls to help get that little bit fitter and socialize with different people. I know I will be attending again to retain my title!
Cup of tea? Get some snacks? Pour yourself another beverage? Why not scrap the half time binge for a 15 minute workout?
I know Phil Jones face (picture above) doesn't like the idea of it but that 15 minutes break that the players are getting you can be getting fit during it. If you're not getting to the gym enough because of the World Cup, get your workout done at home. Yes everyone loves to have snacks and a bevy during the game but make a substitution at half time and bring in a burpee for that pint that is slowing the team down.
There are a number of exercises that are easy to do with no equipment needed apart from your own body weight. This will just be as good as attending the gym or going for a run/jog/bike. If done right, you could burn up to a good 300 calories in 15 minutes and by then the football will be getting back underway ready for you to recover back on that sofa.
Please note that the above exercise are just the normal techniques and no fancy way of doing them……it's just my way of making this workout more football orientated.
So next time you watch the game, give the above workout a try.
Oh, and one last thing I forgot to mention……….IT'S COMING HOME!
Not feeling 100%? Your workout could make it worse.
We all come to a point in the year were you will be hit by some illness. Whether that is a cold or a fever, there comes a point where you need to make that decision on your workout regime while suffering such issues.
We all get the dreaded lurgy at some point, it doesn't matter about how fit you are or how your diet is, it will catch up with you at some point. It's a widespread dilemma for everyone.
Catching up with one of our Personal Trainers, Josh Smith had this to say after recovering from his recent virus.
SHOULD I WORKOUT WHEN I'M SICK?
So when is it ok to workout and when should I pass?
A good rule of thump is to go by is symptoms below the neck. Think diarrhea or a cough, possibly a funny tummy, then is the time to put a hold on training. Also if you're feeling feverish or body is aching (set aside the DOMS) or experiencing symptoms of exhaustion. Runny noses and sneezes, you should be ok. Bring down the intensity and duration of your workout and listen to your body. It is trying to recover from an illness after all, and ultimately, your body knows best.

Threadwork Podcast
Assigning Animals (a different podcast)
Artistic Contributors
Spotify playlists for Threadwork
Hey, a quick one. I was reminded over the weekend of something I'd been meaning to do all along but had slipped my mind. And that's pulling together and making available Spotify playlists of the tracks played on the episodes. I'll post the playlist together with the episodes when they go live going forward but below are the ones for the first three episodes: Animals (Episode 1), Colours (Episode 2) and About People (Episode 3).
Clearly not everything is on Spotify that is played in the episodes so there are some omissions - and some tracks aren't really played properly at all or are used as excerpts. They make it into the playlists anyway.
OK. Cheers,
Episode 1: Animals https://open.spotify.com/user/rosscale/playlist/3yc9yN7DSQsToclzZzv0ko?si=ABDoSi-BSqiN0qeWshTXWA
Episode 2: Colours https://open.spotify.com/user/rosscale/playlist/5MwtlAxYS3dYiJmaf6wOEc?si=b6F3VP-8TGGB4K_F_Hq38w
Episode 3: About People https://open.spotify.com/user/rosscale/playlist/5ncA3w672pVr7DbM0sjllY?si=p-tHeKkiTqyJqMQGuRW3MA

Coming together, glimpse behind the curtain
How do? A quick update on all things Threadwork.
This week myself and producer Bod spent some of our time doing a bit of mastering and overlaying some of my recorded vocals (as it were) over the already finalized music. What I mean by finalized music is that we've already pulled together the tracks, how they're mixed or overlaid for a few of the episodes already. And because the vocals bit is the less easy part, I'm recording those after the event. We'll work like this until it becomes more natural to do the two together.
I'm keen that when the podcast launches it's dependable - there will be an episode when there is supposed to be one. At the moment it takes approximately 2-3 weeks per episode sans vox though there's concurrent activity on episodes. Having a backlog will allow us to have a store of episodes to release whilst new ones are being worked on.
I've started approaching potential guests too so let's see what happens there. More news when there is some.
That'll do for now. Here's a record I thought about the other day. I'd forgotten just how good it was.
Cheers - R

First post, what's it all about, details, Episode 0
OK, hello - how's it going? I hope you're well? I'm alright, thanks. Trying to get to grips with building the website and making things look half decent. It's a challenge when you don't really have an eye for this sort of activity and even when most of the tools are there for you I'm still struggling with my own brain saying, 'stop, stop, this is rubbish, you're a fool, you can't do this'.
Brain enemy might be right but I'm doing it nonetheless.
So, the podcast is nearly ready to go. We're about halfway through the month of March at the time of writing and I'm aiming to have Episode 0 out in the next couple of weeks. Episode 0 serves a couple of purposes. Firstly, it's a standalone explanation of what the podcast is all about and will be about 4 minutes long once I've cut the audio down but also it's used to create a sort of template for future episodes. As far as I can tell you create all the details, descriptions, tags, spiel and whathaveyou about the podcast and then you just add future episodes from there. Essentially, Episode 0 allows me to get that groundwork laid.
The heavy-lifting on the first couple of episodes proper is more or less complete and I think I'll aim for a fortnightly release schedule. That seems like a cheque I'm able to cash as opposed to a weekly schedule, at least for now.
So, what is the Threadwork Podcast all about? Essentially, it's an attempt to work out what it is that links all the music I like together. What's the thread that runs through it all? I have theories as I've been thinking about this for a while but as I'm not a scholar of music or have any technical knowledge regarding the structure of music it's pretty ill-defined - no more than a crude cave painting as opposed to fine art.
Of course, Threadwork also doubles up as a way to just play music and share songs, tracks and other audio that I love, which has always been a supremely fun thing to do. I've DJ'd on and off (mostly off in recent times) for 20+ years and the thrill of discovering and subsequent joy of sharing music has never diminished. And with the medium of podcasts being more or less barrier free it seemed like the way to go.
I'll have guests too, sharing their stories and music and that's a thing I'm very excited about.
A word to the images you can currently see on the site. These are just works in progress at the moment and will be updated in due course. There are a couple of things in the pipeline that I'm really excited about - one I can directly influence and I need to pull my finger out on, the other I have to wait patiently for.
Anyway, as a first post this'll about do it. All that's left to share is the music that I'm planning to use as the bed for the intros to each episode. It's a track I've been a fan of ever since I first heard it on X-Press II's Late Night Sesssions II and it's always stuck with me. I think it'll work nicely.
Talk soon - R.

Here are some photos I was able to take snap of despite the shopping frenzy going on throughout the evening. It was a successful event and the A-listers who graced the event had nothing but nice things to say about the FOREVER 21 and how affordable it is now to look... Forever 21 and fabulous.
I was lucky enough to snag an invite. I don't presume any status by being at the event. My love for fashionable and price-lovable clothing must have radiated across the universe that the person responsible for inviting guests included me. I'm so happy that I was able to snag a few things with my fellow bloggers and saw familiar faces. Although most of us barely chatted because we got lost on how many great find FOREVER 21 has. I'm just elated, still couldn't believe what happened last night as I woke up this morn.
Enough said, here's some of my photos.
Patty Laurel. Love the shoes.
Tim Yap mistook me for Frenzie Sarte (blushes..) and was nice enough to pose for a shot.
Leira and Sire were among the bloggers who graced the event.
Jane, looking so fresh in her ensemble.

A few hours later, you'll barely see the cashiers from the long lines of people paying for their finds.
end of fashion show.. on to more vip pictures.
Donna Cuna-Pita with friend. Fabulous as always. Sigh!
I want this bag? Do you think I should get it?
Pearl (lovely wife of Judah) looking gorgeous in her coral dress.
Raya Mananquil gracious enough to pose for lil ol me.
trying on the uber affordable rayban-inspired sunnies.
Frances of Topaz Horizon and OK! Magazine. Looking good in her 33 weeks, noh?
I didn't get this shirt... and now I'm wondering why didn't. This makes me look so payat (thin).
Earth, Jheng and I just before we left the event.
As of this moment, FOREVER 21 Manila is officially open to everyone today July 2, 2010. Hurry up because they are giving away Php200 worth of GC to the first 200 customers for this day only. Be there in a sec. See yah!
Hi Shen! We're (the two shopaholics sitting to rest our feet :-p) from Clickthecity ;) Nice to see you again, the last time was at Sujiivana salon, right?


According to plan, contractor Mertens started in September with the renovations of the former main building of Breda University of Applied Sciences at location Mgr. Hopmansstraat. This building – which will be called Frontier Building in the future – will accommodate the domains of Games, Media, Built Environment and Logistics as well as several services. Students and staff of the domains mentioned above will eventually move to the Frontier Building in September 2019.
We made some photos of the first demolition work inside the building. The photos give an impression of the demolition work that's carried out on the third floor of the building.
These 'open community' spaces are intended to accommodate students of the Creative Business programme (International Media and Entertainment Management). In this Production House Area, they will be working in teams on their media productions. On the third floor, you can also find the former lecture halls, which are converted for use as Game Labs – computer classrooms – by students of the Creative Media and Game Technologies programme (International Game Architecture and Design).
Meanwhile, the renovations are well underway: throughout the entire building, many crosses can be seen marking various walls, window frames and door frames – ready to be demolished, bringing us another step closer to the end result: a beautiful renovated Frontier Building!
We have installed a webcam at the construction site so that you don't have to miss anything of this renovation project. We will keep you updated on the progress and, of course, of any spectacular happenings. Enjoy!

With the current surge in popularity of the Mid-Hundred years Modern style genre, this couch style is really a hot product. Whether accurate vintage pieces, forgeries or new styles that incorporate Middle-Century Modern components, these are very flexible sofas. Most often utilized in a minimalist or mid-century style scheme, they're wonderful for including a retro really feel to a space. The distinguishing elements range from the exposed legs and straight line structure. Most mid-hundred years sofas but not all of them may have some tufting around the back again.
While the rear of this couch shows the Chesterfield, with its rows of tufting, a tux couch has solution, much more angular lines. It is said to have been the bellwether more modern designs in the 1920s. Although some say this sofa design takes a title from Tux Park in New York, it's also considered called after the classic extravagant men's match. You are able to identify a tuxedo sofa by its arms that are the same height as the back again. The tufting on the rear of the sofa and its rectangular silhouette will also be classic characteristics. Cushions include comfort and ease for this high-armed design. Also, while the couch over from Upcountry is padded in leather, this well-liked design is usually completed in fabrics of all types, such as the really stylish velvet.

Dollhouse Update: Done? Not Even Close!
I changed the color of the fireplace in the master bedroom to white and added a concrete hearth to add some warmth. The "concrete," like everything else in the house, is made from foamcore.
I found these chairs at CB2. They're Christmas ornaments that I bought on sale for $0.95. Not bad for dollhouse furniture, which often costs as much as normal furniture (exaggeration).
The structure of the back of the home is coming along nicely.
The concept for the roof is that it's falling in and rotting away, allowing for plenty of skylights. The majority of the master bedroom will have a glass ceiling (insert joke about women in the workplace).
I stained the outside of the barn to make it look old and distressed. I used diluted acrylic paint. I'm pleased with the results and cant wait to stain more.
A fun fact about me is that I love staining things to make them look darker and richer. And by "staining" I mean "drenching in self-tanner." And by "things" I mean my skin. And by "darker and richer" I mean "tan and gorgeous." I'm scared.
My architect/friend designed this bed for me. It needs some bedding but I'm liking its simple modern lines.
I love the way the light falls through the back of the house. The beams will eventually be painted white from the inside and stained to look old and distressed from the outside.
This is the beginnings of a sofa. Just made out of wood, glue, and stain.
It's based on this piece from episode 3 of Secrets From A Stylist.
These are some more $0.95 chairs from CB2. They need some baby cushions but I love them.
This is a the view from outside the floor length windows in the dining room. I have a fetish for huge windows.
And aerial view of the barn.
So that's where I am right now in dollhouse world. I'm going to try and get a bit done this week and then have a major Oscar pre-party where I trick my friends into helping me by bribing them with alcohol. Yay!
Your barn wood looks fabulous and I envy those red dining chairs.
Glad to see the progress! The large windows and exterior stain are totally bitchin'.
I really love this. Any word on the challenge?
I also am going to recommend that you sand the bar codes on your interior beams a good bit before you paint. It will save you several coats and having to learn the hard way like I did.
The second option would actually make me feel like less of a weirdo, so please get on that. Thanks!

This peculiarly, Victorian source of entertainment allows the viewer to gaze in wonderment as the characters from the Scriptures, fairy tales or even the news of the day miraculously come to live before their very eyes. Viewing two identical images that are placed side by side through a lens 'tricks' the eye into seeing the images in three dimensions.
Although my viewer came with a variety of slides it was the volume imaginatively entitled 'The South African War Through the Stereoscope' that piqued my curiosity. Here were thirty-six slides depicting events in the Boer War and published by Underwood & Underwood. It is clear that there is an element of sensationalism to the images, many of which will have been reconstructed for the benefit of the camera, but they do provide an invaluable resource from the point of view of uniforms, equipment and even tactics of the British Army at the turn of the twentieth century.
Once an animated slide is 'clicked' on the page it can be viewed as a still image in the normal way. It is also probably worth mentioning, purely as a disclaimer, that every effort has been taken to faithfully reproduce the text accompanying each slide at that any inaccuracies were as they would have been presented to the general public at the time.

What a fantastic collection. Thanks for going to all the trouble of preparing the stereoscopic images for the internet Michael. I really enjoyed them, and the scenes were most evocative for this lesser known conflict.
I have seen other images, presumably from the same series. Were these images published in Australian newspapers? Are they copyrighted?
Michael Awdry 3 July 2014 at 08:27
From what I understand they were an American news company so I imagine it was entirely possible that the images were syndicated throughout the World's press. As for copyright, that's a good point, but I have physically changed these images from their original use and I'm not looking to pass off the original work as my own, nor profit from it. The original publishers have been credited so I feel that I have respected the intellectual rights of the creator. With regards to these Gifs, if you would like to use them, then please help yourself, all I ask is that you likewise acknowledge their original source. Best wishes,

Thank you so much Alfons.
I have been moved by the images as I am trying to collate information for our church re the Highlanders killed at Magersfontein. I may have just found them. Thank you.
Dear Cathy, thank you for your comment and I do hope that they are of use to you. I have my original scans of the slides that are of better quality, if you let me know which images you are interested in, I can post them on the blog for you to copy. Kind regards, MIchael

Warfare is a fascinating subject. Despite the dubious morality of using violence to achieve personal or political aims. It remains that conflict has been used to do just that throughout recorded history.
Your article is very well done, a good read.

BWW Feature: Tony-Award Winning Satire URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL Flows Into YMCA Boulton Center For The Performing Arts
by Jaime Zahl
BroadwayWorld.com May. 1, 2019

"To pee or not to pee?" - that is the question the satirical deadpan musical comedy "Urinetown" presents to its audience. Scarcely produced on Long Island, the show will be presented as a one-weekend only run at the YMCA Boulton Center for the Performing Arts from Thursday, May 2 to Saturday, May 4.
The performing arts center, located in the heart of Bay Shore's Main Street, began producing mainstage musicals last spring with a production of "Little Shop of Horrors." Their mini-season continued with "A Christmas Carol" in December, starring both local actors and students in the Great South Bay YMCA's long-running Act Out Theatre program. Director Christopher Rosselli and the Great South Bay YMCA's Cultural Arts Director Tiana Christoforidis both expressed excitement for the future of the program.
Don't be put off by the title of the show. This exceedingly self-aware, meta show brings together all your favorite musical theatre cliches with a catchy score and a hilarious book - both of which won Tony Awards in 2002. While the songs are original, they parody classic Broadway numbers from "Les Miserables," "A Chorus Line," "West Side Story," and more.
The dystopian plot - arriving before the explosion of dark dystopian worlds in books and films like The Hunger Games - presents a story of a world where its citizens are required to pay to pee due to an alleged water shortage. The hero archetype Bobby Strong, played by Joe Bebry, challenges the political institution run by the corrupt Mr. Cladwell (Mike Blangiforti) and gathers a hodgepodge of misfits to rebel. Along the way, he falls in love with Mr. Cladwell's daughter Hope (Caitlin Nofi) - introducing the Romeo and Juliet-esque trope.
The musical is not only a great piece of theatre, but it also a timely one. Audiences may find it even more relevant today than it was when it premiered in 2002. Although its Broadway opening was delayed by the September 11 attacks in 2001, the musical was met with critical acclaim and was honored with 10 Tony Award nominations (winning three).
The mainstage production opens on Thursday, May 2 at 8 p.m. and continues with performances on Friday, May 3 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, May 4 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Meanwhile, the Act Out Theatre School's teen production will perform on Sunday, May 5 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Its 1991, I am 18 years old, young and impressionable. My sweet sister-in-law Rubina takes me to a women's charity event being held at the elegant Mount Soche hotel in Blantyre, Malawi. The positive energy being radiated from the amazing role models in the room wraps me around like a warm blanket. I am mesmerized by these talented leaders, speaking and inspiring others. The force of good being infinitely amplified. I am in awe of this power of sisterhood to make a positive impact.
I am 20, soaking up new experiences life has to offer. I reach out to the women in my birth city Lilongwe, Malawi to convene so that we can discuss ways to give back philanthropically in the poverty engulfing this developing country. I vividly recall that very first meeting where our family friend Roxana opened up her home, and about 15 women eagerly named our group simply "The Ladies Committee." The team gets to work. The whole community is excited about our first event; over 500 people show up. The proceeds make an impact at the local children's hospital. I once again come to the realization that when women plant precious seeds together, the harvest is bountiful.
I am 33, energized by motherhood. I propose the need for a philanthropic and personal development women's group in Chicago and together with a dedicated team we launch a nonprofit organization, the Muslim Women's Alliance (MWA). I stand on the stage at our sold-out inaugural event looking out at a sea of warm smiles, brilliant ideas, enduring stamina and powerful minds. Over time, this beautiful force replicates the energy by continually elevating new leaders to sustain incredible results. And so the circle of good keeps growing eternally. I am once again moved by feminine innovation and the fruit of this collective energy.
I am in my 40s now, it's International Women's Day #IWD2016 and Women's History Month. I am still learning everyday and still in awe of the virtue of sisterhood. Still inspired by the power of yes that propels women to listen, lean in and lead in meaningful ways.
Whether I am standing in a circle with women of diverse cultural backgrounds in Utah promoting world peace, or organizing 250 women to stand in solidarity linking arms with women from war torn countries, or talking to women educators about ways to empower our youth, or in a room of women entrepreneurs in Chicago networking to support each other, or running for a cause with a team of women, or just sitting at the kitchen table with my always-there-for-me ma and mom (my mother and mother-in-law respectively), my wise sister, loving family and caring friends … when women gather, the strong force of inspiration hums a sweet melody. A tune that keeps pushing me to be the best woman that I can be.
Whether we say it out loud or in our minds, as women we have a strong chant that unites us. We can shout these words out from mountaintops or whisper this in quiet desperate times when we know we are just one woman away from feeling supported. We intrinsically sense our compelling mantra that, As women we form a strong link of sisterhood. We are here to listen & lean into each other always elevating one another to be the best that we can be. We are here to stand in solidarity with all women so that together we can make a positive impact on our beautiful mother earth.
As a woman, I am who I am because of all the inspiring role models who continue to pave the way. I am honored to be part of this sisterhood and excited for my three young daughters to go through this exhilarating journey as well. Our global tribe of women collectively sways in a tenacious, graceful and dynamic wave of influential energy!

Q: HashMap with List as a value in Typescript I am learning TypeScript and am trying to create a collection similar to the following in Java
HashMap<String, List<String>> hashMap = new HashMap<String,List<String>>();

I am unable to find any examples . Is it possible to do this in Typescript? Is there something similar to this?

A: HashMap contains only unique keys. So you can use simple object and assign array to key:

let hash = {};
hash["bobtail"] = [];
hash["bobtail"].push({ age: 7, name: "miffy" });
console.log(hash)

Or try to use Record<Keys, Type>. As docs says:

Constructs an object type whose property keys are Keys and whose
property values are Type. This utility can be used to map the
properties of a type to another type.

interface CatInfo {
  age: number;
  name: string;
}

type CatBreed = "bobtail" | "birman" | "maine";

const cats: Record<CatBreed, CatInfo[]> = {
  bobtail: [{ age: 7, name: "miffy" }],
  birman: [{ age: 8, name: "moorzik" }],
  maine: [{ age: 17, name: "mordred" }],
};

UPDATE:
This is the way to add an item to Record<Keys, Type>:
cats["bobtail"].push({ age: 11, name: "miffy" });

This is the way to get items from Record<Keys, Type>:
const bobtails: CatInfo[] = cats["bobtail"];

Q: jpa: update relationship for a new parent-entity i have two entities Price<-1----1->PriceDetail mapped as OneToOne.
how can i handle different scenarios for this relation. so i have cases where i always want a new price and a new pricedetail,
but i also would be able to create a new price only and update the pricedetail (with data from a previous price-entity).
my current solution is to remove the pricedetail-entity, how can it be done with updating the pricedetail-entity?
@Entity
class Price {

  @OneToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL,mappedBy = "price")
  private PriceDetail priceDetail;
}

@Entity
class PriceDetail {

  @OneToOne
  private Price price;
}

save-method:
EntityManage em = getEntityManager();

for (Price price : getAllPrices()){

  Price oldPrice =  Price.getById(price.getId());

  if (!oldPrice.equals(price)){ //if we have price-changes

     if (PriceCatalog.entryExists(oldPrice)){ //if the current-price is in a catalog

      //current solution: remove entry from PriceDetail, but i want to update PriceDetail-Entity, pointing
      //to the newly created price
      em.remove(oldPrice.getPriceDetail());
      em.commitTransaction();

      oldPrice.setActive(false);  //referenced price in PriceCatalog is now inactive

      //sets id null, so that a new price-entity is created
      price.setId(null);
      price.setActive(true);
      em.persist(price);   //also inserts a new price-detail

     }else {
      em.merge(price);
     }
   }
 }
 em.commitTransaction();

because of CascadeType.ALL-Annotation in Price-Entity, JPA tries to insert a new PriceDetail-Entity.
approach 1:
price.getPriceDetail().setId(oldPrice.getPriceDetail().getId());

-> Error: insert into pricedetail violates unique-constraint: Key already exists
approach 2:
  //ommit cascade
  @OneToOne(mappedBy = "price")
  protected PriceDetail priceDetail;

then approach 1 works, but creating a complete new price results in:
  During synchronization a new object was found through a relationship that was not marked cascade PERSIST

A: approach 2 is not an option in you case, this is the correct mapping to do a bidirectional one-to-one association:
//you must do this to handle the bidirectional association
  @OneToOne(mappedBy = "price")
  protected PriceDetail priceDetail;

Now the problem is :price is a new entity then the entityManager will call persit operation on price.getpriceDetail() because cascade persist is triggered automatically (not cascade-merge) to avoid this strange behaviour you can do the following.
EntityManage em = getEntityManager();

for (Price price : getAllPrices()){

  Price oldPrice =  Price.getById(price.getId());

  if (!oldPrice.equals(price)){ //if we have price-changes

     if (PriceCatalog.entryExists(oldPrice)){ //if the current-price is in a catalog

Amor Ben Yahia (; * 1. Juli 1985 in Kebili) ist ein tunesischer Leichtathlet, der über 3000 Meter Hindernis an den Start geht. In dieser Disziplin ist er Inhaber des Nationalrekords.

Sportliche Laufbahn
Amor Ben Yahia tritt seit 2005 in Wettkämpfen im Hindernislauf an. Damals gewann er die Bronzemedaille bei den Tunesischen Meisterschaften. Das gleiche Resultat erreichte er auch ein Jahr später, in dem er sich zudem bis auf 8:52,71 min verbesserte. Bis 2009 verbesserte er sich bis auf eine Zeit von 8:41,64 min, die er bei den Tunesischen Meisterschaften aufstellte und damit erstmals Gold bei den nationalen Meisterschaften gewinnen konnte. 2010 gelang es ihm, seinen Meistertitel zu verteidigen und er fügte zudem eine weitere Goldmedaille über 1500 Meter hinzu. 2011 gelang es ihm, sich für die Weltmeisterschaften in Dageu zu qualifizieren. Dabei verbesserte er seine Bestzeit im Vorlauf auf 8:30,02 min, mit denen er als Sechster seines Laufes den Einzug in das Finale verpasste. Ein Jahr darauf nahm er an den Olympischen Sommerspielen in London teil. Wie ein Jahr zuvor in Daegu gelang es ihm auch diesmal, beim Saisonhöhepunkt mit 8:22,70 min eine neue Bestzeit aufzustellen, die allerdings erneut nicht für den Finaleinzug ausreichten. 2013 trat Ben Yahia bei den Mittelmeerspielen in Mersin an. Dabei konnte er die Goldmedaille mit persönlicher Bestzeit von 8:14,05 min gewinnen, mit der er seitdem den Nationalrekord Tunesiens über 3000 Meter Hindernis hält. Anschließend siegte er zum dritten Mal im Hindernislauf bei den nationalen Meisterschaften.

2014 trat Ben Yahia im Nachbarland Marokko bei den Afrikameisterschaften an, bei denen er im Finale den fünften Platz belegen konnte. 2015 trat er im August in Peking zum zweiten Mal bei den Weltmeisterschaften an, verpasste als Fünfter seines Laufes allerdings erneut den Einzug in das Finale. An gleicher Stelle lief er zuvor im Mai mit 8:19,30 min die zweitschnellste Zeit im Laufe seiner Karriere. Nach den Weltmeisterschaften trat er im Oktober bei den Militärweltspielen in Mungyeong an, bei denen er die Goldmedaille gewinnen konnte. 2016 nahm er in Rio de Janeiro zum zweiten Mal an Olympischen Sommerspielen teil. Diesmal gelang es ihm, in das Finale einzuziehen, worin er allerdings disqualifiziert wurde. Nachdem er die Saison 2017 komplett verpasste, nahm er 2018 erneut an den Mittelmeerspielen teil. Knapp verpasste er dabei mit dem Gewinn der Silbermedaille die Titelverteidigung. 2019 ging er bei den Afrikaspielen in Rabat an den Start, ohne das Rennen beenden zu können. Anfang Oktober folgte der Start bei den Weltmeisterschaften in Doha, wobei er als Neunter seines Laufes den Finaleinzug abermals verpasste.

Q: how to get value from mysql with name of id column in the users table, there is 2 column
one for id and the other one for the username;
I want to get a username from the MySQL column with the name of their id
like {1:'ahmed', 2:'jon', 3:'rashed'}
to use it in javascript or Node.js
any suggest

A: I think you are looking for the JSON_OBJECT function, as defined here in the documentation. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json-creation-functions.html
mysql> SELECT JSON_OBJECT('id', 87, 'name', 'carrot');
+-----------------------------------------+
| JSON_OBJECT('id', 87, 'name', 'carrot') |
+-----------------------------------------+
| {"id": 87, "name": "carrot"}            |
+-----------------------------------------+

In your case:
SELECT JSON_OBJECT(id, username) FROM table WHERE conditions;

Or for all:
SELECT JSON_OBJECT(id, username) FROM table;

In a table like:
id    |    username
-------------------
1     |    ahmed
2     |    jon
3     |    rashed

This should return:
{1:'ahmed', 2:'jon', 3:'rashed'}

There is more advanced discussion of the topic here on dba.stackexchange
but I think this answer meets your requirements.

Lots of casting news for you today! Variety is reporting that Oscar Isaac has been cast as En Sabbah Nur himself in the next film in the X-men franchise!
First appearing in X-Factor #5, Apocalypse is the oldest mutant in the Marvel universe and has become second to only Magneto in terms of a primary antagonist for the X-men. X-men Apocalypse, the upcoming film, will be loosely based on Age of Apocalypse, a 90's crossover story which is probably the most famous story involving the villain. The character is beloved by fans and was even teased in a post-credits stinger with X-men: Days of Future Past.
Oscar Isaac is most known for his lead role in the Coen brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis, but can be seen next year in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Presumably the role of Apocalypse will largely involve motion capture.
Directed by Bryan SInger, X-men: Apocalypse is set for a May 27, 2016 release date.

Aran Islands Tours
Perched at the edge of Ireland 's western waters, glittering on the horizon of Galway Bay , the Aran Islands have a weathered history and rugged landscape which folds together ancient and modern in three green, stone walled jewels of land.
You can purchase you Aran Ferries Tickets at Rusheen Bay House and the coach will pick you up here approximately 45 minutes prior to each departure.
Inishmore
Inishmore is the largest of the three Aran Islands. Its principal village is Kilronan where there is a good, deep harbour.
An excellent Visitor's Centre, Ionad Arainn, provides a solid introduction to the history and culture of the island.
Sites to see include the interesting remains of Arkin's Castle, a Cromwellian fort that maintained a garrison during the 17th and 18th centuries.
At Saint Ciaran's Monastery, east of the village, you can see several early cross-slabs, pillars and a holy well dedicated to the early saint. Also in this locality is the very early Saint Soorney's Church.
To the west of Kilronan is the church of Saint Enda , the saint most closely identified with the spread of Christianity on Aran.
Kilmurvy is the other main village on Inishmore; it lies about 7km west of Kilronan, and in its vicinity are the Church of Saint Colman MacDuagh and the Church of the Saints.
Dun Aonghasa
Undoubtedly the most famous and impressive site on Inishmore is the great stone fortress of Dun Aonghasa - the largest of the prehistoric stone forts of the Aran Islands.
It is perched spectacularly on the edge of a sheet 100m (300 ft) cliff that falls away into the Atlantic Ocean.
It is enclosed by three massive dry-stone walls and a "chevaux-de-frise" consisting of tall blocks of limestone set vertically into the ground to deter attackers. The fort is about 900 metres from the visitor centre and is approached over rising ground. Wheelchair access is available to the visitor centre, but not to the fort.
Inishmann
Inishmann, the middle island, also contains both kinds of monuments, notably the ancient Kilcanonagh Church , the 15th century Templemurray, and fragments of Templeshaghtmacree, or the Church of the King's Seven Sons.
Prehistoric times are represented by the superb oval stone fort of Dun Chonchubhair. There is one church on the island, with beautiful Harry Clarke Studio windows.
There is only one pub, which is thatched and kept in the old traditional style, on this island. There is no bank on the island, so the bank flies in with Aer Arann once a month for business.
Inis Oirr
Inishere is the smallest of the three islands with a population of only about 300 people. Despite its size you can still find pubs, B&Bs, a hotel and a campsite and there is plenty to do and see.
Inis Óirr is geologically similar to the Burren in County Clare, comprising mostly of rock. Like the Burren, many rare and exotic flowers and plants grow there.
Ancient monuments worth seeing include ruins of Saint Kevin's Church, or Teampall Chaomhain, now sunk deeply into a sandy hill close to the shore. Not far from the small village is O'Brien's Castle, a 15th century tower house that stands within a stone fort.
Also worth visiting are St. Gobnait's Church, or Cill Ghobnait, the Church of the Seven Daughters, or Cill Na Seacht nInghean.
You can book your tickets for the Aran Ferries at Rusheen Bay House and the Coach to the Ferry port will collect you and return you here before and after each sailing.
XB = Without Shuttle Bus Connection between Galway City and Port. This service is for passengers with their own transport to the pier at Ros A' Mhíl.
W = Friday, Saturday and Sunday Only.

The Bean Trees
The Bean Trees: Novel Summary: Chapter 15 -17
Chapter 15 -17Chapter Fifteen
The Lake o the Cherokees is beautiful, and they rent a cottage for the night. Turtle had pointed out the window at a cemetery and said "Mama" during the drive. Now, again she says "Mama," this time after burying her doll. Taylor talks to her, asking if she saw her own mother get buried. Turtle says she did, and Taylor explains that, although her mother could not stay with her, she must have loved her very much. Taylor says she will try to make sure she is always there with Turtle. Then, she asks Estevan and Esperanza for a favor.
They go to the justice of the peace in Oklahoma so Taylor can adopt Turtle. Since white people cannot really tell the difference between a Mayan Indian and a Cherokee Indian, Estevan and Esperanza pretend to be Turtles parents. They say that they are unable to care for Turtle and want to give her up to Taylor to raise. Because they are illegal immigrants, Estevan and Esperanza are taking a great risk doing this, but they want to help. The lack of a birth certificate is not an issue because children born on tribal land often do not have birth certificates.
Esperanza has really created a strong bond with Turtle. She misses her own daughter, Ismene, and so she has latched on to Turtle. In the justices office, she claims to be saying goodbye to her daughter, and she cries and gets very upset. Her performance is convincing because this process is allowing her to say goodbye to Ismene, as well.
Taylor takes Esteban and Esperanza to the church that will be their sanctuary. She wakes up Turtle so she can say goodbye and understand that they left their friends in a good place. Taylor has a difficult time saying goodbye, too. Although she knows Esteban is not hers to have, saying goodbye is very difficult because she loves him.
Once they leave the church, Taylor calls her mother because she is heartbroken over Esteban. Then, she and Turtle talk about the fact that she is Turtles mother now. While they are waiting to pick up the adoption papers, she calls Lou Ann. Lou Ann has given up on Angel and started dating someone, but she and Taylor know that they are each others family now.
Taylor has come to realize that the world can be a pretty awful place. She cannot make it so that bad things dont happen to people. But, she does realize that they have all helped each other make things better. It is unfair that anyone should try to take Turtle from her, but Esteban and Esperanza help her find a way to keep the child. It is awful that they lost their daughter, but by helping her they have a chance to say goodbye to their child. They have not made things perfect in the world. However, as Esteban tells her, "in a world as wrong as this one, all we can do is to make things as right as we can" (233). They make things more right by helping and loving each other.
Taylor has created a family for herself. This family is based on strong bonds between women. Only when Lou Ann has a fortifying relationship with Taylor can she build a healthy love life. This is part of why Taylor realizes Esteban is off limits, as she would not hurt another woman for the sake of a man. The families built in this book are non-traditional: Turtle comes to be Taylors in a strange and illegal way, Matties family of refugees keeps coming and going, and Taylor and Lou Ann are not traditional parents, as they are not romantically involved. Nonetheless, families based on love and mutual support are like the rhizobia that helps the wisteria grow: everyone benefits from helping one another.

Beizhili mostly covered the area of the Yuan province of Zhongshuthe "Central Administration"and took its own nameChinese for "Northern Directly Administered Area"from Beijing's status as the Ming's national capital following the Yongle Emperor move there from Nanjing, which oversaw Nanzhili or the Southern Directly Administered Area. During the early Qing Dynasty, Beizhili's name was shortened Zhili after Nanjing lost its status as a secondary capital. Under the Republic and People's Republic of China, it was divided into Hebei and the provincial-level municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin. (Small parts of what was once Beizhili were also ceded to Henan and Shandong.)

TutuApp has some of the most amazing third-party apps that you would never find on the Apple's App Store. This is why it is not just the alternative to your official store but also a necessity. For example, if you wish to record the screen of your iOS device, you will not be able to find any screen recording app on App Store. Apple, for some unknown reasons, does not allow such apps. But, screen recording is a utility that many of us may need every now and then.
There are people who love to play video games on their iOS device and also want to record the game play so that they can flaunt their skills to the other gamers. Then there are some who wish to create game tutorials and guides. There are some users who like to create general, iOS firmware or app related, tutorials for YouTube. For all such purposes, you will need the screen recording app. Since App Store does not have anything like that, TutuApp is the only solution.
There are some truly incredible screen recording tools like Airshou and Everycord on TutuApp. It is just the matter of downloading and installing TutuApp and then getting the desired apps on your device. Let us learn how to get Airshou & Everycord on iOS using Tutu.
The very first thing you need to do is download TutuApp on your iPhone or for that matter whichever iOS device you are using. If you are not sure how to go about it, do not worry at all. There is a comprehensive TutuApp installation guide for you.
You can look at the TutuApp download and installation instructions at tutuapp-helper.com.
Once you have TutuApp third-party app store on your iOS device, downloading screen recorders will be a breeze. Here is what you can do.
First of all, you launch TutuApp and look up for the screen recording application you want on the home screen. Such apps are very popular and are usually listed among the "Featured" apps right on the home screen.
Do you see Airshou or Everycord there? No? No problem!
If the apps are not on the home screen, you can use the search box right on the top. Tap anywhere inside this box and type the name of the app you are looking for. TutuApp will start making suggestions along with your typing.
Type in Airshou or Everycord (depending upon what you want). Both these apps are featured here.
Once you see the app in the search results, tap "Get" next to it. Now all you have to do is follow the onscreen instructions.
