There are so many laws bandied around about what it takes to live a successful life.
But at the end of the day it is so important to at times simplify, simplify, simplify.
By decluttering one's mind we are better able to create a laser focus on what 'that shall be' for both you and for me.
We live in a world of distraction, where people are flying from one venture to another, from one app to the next, from one website to another, from one television channel to the next, from one blog article to another, from one expert over to listen to another expert – a podcast here and a video there.
Always flicking. Always flitting. Never still. Never completing.
Absolute and total confusion, lack of direction and may I say it – you will wake up in twenty years wondering what the heck you have done with your life, and why on earth you haven't yet built the lasting legacy you thought you would have built in the past two decades.
Currently I'm pursuing property development, and at present I am focusing in on residential subdivisions.
Property has always interested me, and I decided that becoming a property developer, apart from everything else I do, was my personal 'that shall be' that I must pursue at this time of my life.
My mentor, at the outset, said that once we identify the sector that we wish to pursue, whether residential, aged care, industrial, professional office space or retail/commercial it was important to stay within that one sector, and successfully complete a number of deals within that sector, before moving on and exploring others.
Because we must first become experts in one area – for that shall be our focus – and in that we will be a success.
Then and only then do we move on to another sector to explore our next 'that shall be'.
It is so easy to prematurely step out of one area and into another – especially when it comes to real estate.
However, discipline and instruction from my mentor (for he learnt from his own personal mistakes of doing just that a number of years ago), who has nearly a billion dollars worth of property deals under his belt, tells me that I should listen and obey his directives without questioning.
So what should you do in your personal pursuit for success?
Here are four ideas to stimulate your thinking.
'That shall be' is in fact a statement of faith.
We see it. We say it. We do it.
I remember the day that I decided to start a web design company. I was neither a web designer nor did I have a technical bone in my body. That was irrelevant. A web design company, with me at the helm, was my 'that shall be'.
I did the same many years before, when I was retrenched and declared to my family that I would never again work in a full-time capacity for another man, and started a cleaning company.
I repeated the process when I purchased a hair salon, which in the past 18 months has grown by 75%.
Nothing stopped me when I self published my first book – one of three that I successfully sold internationally.
I did this when I wrote a stage musical.
None of these ventures at the time were built upon the foundation of knowing all the ins and outs of these industries. They were built upon the fact that I knew that I was born to be an entrepreneur, and that I would find the finances, the teams, the resources, and the clients to build successful and thriving businesses.
I did this when I started writing a motivational and inspirational blog that now reaches people from 191 nations around the globe.
I am doing the same with my property development ventures.
What is your 'that shall be'?
When I embarked on this entrepreneurial journey, many decades ago, I started out doing one thing and doing it well.
With added skill and experience I have been able to add multiple ventures to my portfolio. You will do the same in time.
Every step of the way there has been a mentor in my life. They have helped me to study my 'that shall be' and have guided me. I have chosen time and time again to sit at the feet of the experts, and to dine at the table of those far more successful than myself.
At times I have purchased a coffee for my mentor as I sat down in a café and asked them questions while taking copious notes. Other times I have spent thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars to draw upon their expertise from all parts of the globe.
I have studied to become an entrepreneur, and with each industry change I have once again put on the hat of the student and gone back to school as it were.
I am a student in the 'University Of Success' and Professor Failure has been one of my greatest teachers. But the older I get the more I realize that if I pay heed to what my mentors teach me, there are many failures that I can avoid and many pitfalls that I can sidestep.
One of the greatest skills though that I have acquired is the ability to ask better questions. The better the questions, the better the answers.
At times you may struggle, like I have, to find these questions, but with persistence you will discover that the questions can be found and that the answers are freely available to those who are voraciously hungry for success.
So many people want the easy road. If you're not willing to work hard then forget ever experiencing any form of lasting success.
The more successful I become the harder I work.
Work for me has become fun. It's not about the money. It's about the game.
I love the challenge to stretch myself, to learn new things, to overcome impossible odds, to achieve unreachable dreams, to take the detours, to climb mountains, to delve into the valleys and wake up with a fresh and growing dream that will carry me from one day to the next with renewed excitement and energy.
But this does not come by sitting around waiting for things to happen. We must be proactive. We must take the initiative. We must lead and not simply follow.
Do more. Expect more. Reach for more. And in your reaching take out some time to find someone who may be trailing behind, and lend them a helping hand.
There is nothing more wonderful than to start living your dream.
All the faith, and all the blood sweat and tears that you have invested throughout the years are finally coming to pass in your life.
The dreams. The hopes. The plans. The goals.
All coming together to form the 'that shall be' that was pronounced, sometimes years or even decades ago, when you looked as though you didn't have a chance of making it.
'That shall be' – from the very inception of the thought to the final performance.
So do you stay there and soak up the victory? Not for long.
Now is the time to move forward to your next 'that shall be'.
Your future success awaits you. This is the only law of success.

Q: Django - redirect to a view after edit I have a view that allows me to edit/update a post. The post is the result of filling out a form. This is similar I'm guessing to redirecting to a CMS post after editing.  Here's the post view:
class PostUpdateView(UpdateView):
   model = Product
   form_class = ProductForm
   template_name = 'edit_product.html'

   def form_valid(self, form):
      self.object = form.save(commit=False)
      self.object.save()
      return redirect ('products')

   @method_decorator(login_required)
   def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
     return super(PostUpdateView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)

After updating the details in the form it redirects to the 'product' page, whereas I want to redirect to the item just edited.  The URL for the items is:
url(r'^([0-9]+)/$', views.detail, name = 'detail'),

Each post is then a number in the url, such as http://127.0.0.1:8000/13/.  I can redirect to the previous page, but takes me back to the edit view, whereas, I want to go back to the actual post view, showing the edit.  Hopefully this isn't clear as mud.
I get the sense I need to grap the orginating url, then use it once the form is updated so I'm researching that right now.  Any guidance gratefully received.

A: It redirects to the products page because that is what you explicitly told it to do in form_valid. If you want to redirect to the detail page, then do that:
return redirect('detail', self.object.pk)

The parish tribute in Ripple is located in the parish churchyard. It takes the form of a Portland stone cross mounted on a hexagonal platform. The memroial was dedicated by the Bishop Suffragan of Dover on 4th February 1920. The architect was Mr. Harold C King. The memorial contains the names of former students of the Upton School (believed to be a former local private school). The remaining men are local residents. There are two names for World War 2 which have not been transcribed here.

Both met a clinic that Sorey gave in Poland, and they decided to perform this fascinating duo performance, a format that is not only one of my favorites (see the "trumpet-drums" label in the right column), but also one that finds appeal among the young generation of Polish musicians (Artur Majewski and Kuba Suchar, Wojtek Jachna and Jacek Buhl, Kamil Szuszkiewicz & Hubert Zemler) amazingly enough, and of course also with the grandmasters of trumpet and drums improvisation: Bill Dixon and Tony Oxley, Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell, Wadada Leo Smith and Blackwell/DeJohnette/Sommers/Rudolph, Lester Bowie and Philip Wilson .
To the music now : both musicians treat their instruments in the traditional way : no electronics, no extended techniques, just plain playing, and which is good because both musicians are quite refined stylists, lovers of clear sounds which bounce and dance around each other. All tracks are called "Songs", which testifies of the compact lyricism of the compositions and the playing. A single idea, a tune, a mood, a rhythm to play with, to expand on, to interact on, and then on to the next tune. Simplicity and musical joy are at the core of this album. The moods can be solemn, playful or even jubilant, and the total is a coherent treat of raw sophistication, intimate and sensitive.
I often find extended techniques irritating and thankfully (as the review says) they do not feature on this stunning and incredibly melodic recording. I am a big fan of these minimalist settings and this is one of the best I've heard -- ever!
Really liked what I heard on the clip!


How do you develop an effective plan for digital learning that yields a sustainable impact on teacher innovation, college and career readiness, academic progress, and student engagement in the classroom? Try Integrating the results from the LoTi Digital Age Survey with the Six Sigma improvement process. The results might surprise you.
The fundamental objective of the Six Sigma methodology is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on process improvement (e.g., define, measure, plan, implement, analyze, improve). Since most school districts use some form of self-assessment as a means of data gathering, applying a modified version of the Six Sigma to the planning process can ensure that Digital Teaching and Learning plans include targeted, measureable outcomes that strive to eliminate wasteful digital practices and concentrate on instructional methodologies and strategies that elevate the level of digital learning in districts over the long term.
In this instance, the table shows a moderate negative correlation between peer coaching feedback and the level of digital learning (-0.51). What implications might this finding have for the development of a digital learning plan? One suggestion might be the inclusion of specific professional learning into the digital learning plan that focuses on a Train-the-Facilitator model emphasizing digital learning best practices.
Using data thoughtfully to drive change is not a new concept. What is novel is looking at data differently in unexpected areas of digital learning (e.g., school climate, peer coaching, shared vision) that can ensure that digital learning dollars achieve their strongest level of impact for all school stakeholders.


Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar got into a ludicrous back and forth with the US special envoy to Venezuela by asking the diplomat a question and then flagrantly ignoring his response.
Elliott Abrams is Jewish, Republican and supportive of the Venezuelan people all three things that Omar really detests. She's never going to change, no matter what lip service she gives to "learning from my Jewish colleagues." She is an anti-Semite and will always be an anti-Semite. I expect more a lot more vileness from her.

Cutting, cutting, cutting. Feels like it will never end. The excitement to bring new prints to the shop keep me going. I am even bringing back a few old favorites as well. One of my favorite new prints, I have actually had for awhile but was inspired to make something with it after filling a custom order for a fabric junkie buddy.
As I sat today in the cafe with Sophia. I thought up a super cute new item for my shop to. I was going to head out tonight and gather supplies to really get crackin on it, but wouldn't you know that we had out first snowfall today.
Sophia was still with amazement as she watched the white flakes float down. This was the first time she has seen the snow.
I am super excited to be able to add touches of my favorite prints to the new items, as well as using my brand new circle cutter that I LOVE!!!!
The best part about this new product, is that when I introduce it, I am going to let all of you pick the name of it. More to come, I am going to sit at my machine and watch the snow fall.
Hmmm, what are you making? Can't wait to see!! love the fabrics, but you know I always love your picks! I am so glad you like your snow, hey want ours!! LOL!
Oh fun! Your fabrics look great too.
Your stack of fabric is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mouth watering....can't wait to see what you are doing...not nice to tease us that way!!


Collages are a great way to display your images. But the choice of images for the collage must be thoughtful. The images must be similar yet different. They must somehow tell a story or be dynamic enough to allow your eye to move through the images, not just stay on one image in a static way. When you entrust us to create a collage for you, you can be sure it is something you will never get tired of looking at.


A small sample of the varied architecture around Kuala Lumpur. The KL skyline from Merdeka Square is a blend of new and old.
One advantage of traveling through Indonesia from East to West and ending in Sumatra: we're a short 30-minute flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Because we need to be in Bangkok in two days to meet my family, Kuala Lumpur will be compressed into a 36-hour adventure.
A much quieter street in Chinatown, with classic red lanterns and vendors selling Chrysanthemum garlands for the Indian wedding nearby.
We get there in the late hours of the afternoon; a quick stop at the customs and we're on a train to town. It already feels different, and unlike the Asian cities we're used to. The airport is connected to the train station by a luxury mall. The train is clean, comfortable and, to our amazement, quiet. We hop into a taxi and finish our ride to the hotel by foot, disoriented by the absence of the typical Asian city recipe: no noise, no tuk-tuks, no exposed electrical or telephone wires (take that, USA!), and above all else, no smell; the sewers are hidden below ground for a change.
But, as we arrive, it's already night and the market stalls are packed on Petaling Street. We can buy Louis Vuitton handbags, Rolexes, Nike jerseys, Lacoste polos, various smoking devices and, for whatever reason, men's underwear - all knock-offs, of course, but who knows, maybe I want to look cool too. Behind the stalls, men sit at the bottom of stairways illuminated by pink lights - the universal sign for the oldest job in the world. We crash at our small hotel, rocked by the lullaby of a weird rolling sound outside our door.
We're not nightlife junkies, so our visit is limited by the daylight. We want to see the city, and sadly skip the famous Batu Cave, instead choosing to get up early, enjoy cups of coffee with fancy latte art, and walk through the neighborhoods of Kuala Lumpur. After we browse through the Central Market to find another pair of bracelets, we head over to the old town - this city is the first we see with Western architecture, a backdrop of new buildings, all connected in harmony by the typical small Asian streets and markets. Unlike Manila, the Western influence here is British, not American, providing the nicer European-style to the old buildings. A beautiful Mosque is at the center of town but unfortunately closed off for renovation. On another corner, we inadvertently find the Sri Mahamariamman Hindu temple with a wedding in progress. The Indian population is quite large in Kuala Lumpur, and many of them have congregated here to celebrate the union. The place stays open to the public during the ceremony and we witness the beginning of the ceremony in our inappropriate traveling outfits.
Looking up at the dizzying Petronas Towers and its sliding skybridge.
We stop by the famous and underwhelming Yut Kee for lunch, on our way to the also-famous-and-underwhelming Petronas Towers, large and tall, connected by a skybridge 170m above ground - and clearly stating how much money there is to be made in this country. In an Uber to the next stop, I read that Malaysia is one of the first countries on its way out of the 'third-world' country camp, with a booming economy and a healthy growth (one of the best in Asia, and much better than France's). From the many signs and TV ads, we see the whole country doing their best to make Malaysia a better place, and they're succeeding. In 2015, Malaysia ranked 4th on The World's Best Retirement Havens while getting 1st as the best place in Asia to retire. Ha, maybe not such a bad idea after all.
Atop a hill overlooking the southwest part of KL, is the Thean Hou Temple, a place dedicated to The Heavenly Mother, Tian Hou.
There is a colorful Buddhist temple of Chinese influence at the top of the city - a first look at Buddha statues that we will see countless times in the next few weeks. And there, another wedding shoot, which I am careful to be part of at least once in their photos. After exploring the grounds we head down to the lively Bukit Bintang neighborhood for another fancy coffee, this one with a sourness reminiscent of the new SF trends (I had hoped to never taste it again). Then, strolling through the Indian Brickfields neighborhood, another heart and soul of KL, noisy and full of delicious smells, we conclude our KL fling with a delicious dinner at a local place where I can eat gleefully with my hands, with a promise to come back before our year-long trip is over.
• Petaling Street has a famous night market, full of knock-offs and good deals. This is also where we found a cheap hotel close enough to everything we wanted to visit: The Rainforest Hotel.
• The less-busy day version of Petaling Street is at Central Market, which also has plenty of arts and crafts.
• In the old town, Merdeka Square is surrounded by beautiful monuments and museums, such as the Sultan Abdul Samad Building and St. Mary's Cathedral.
• The Petronas Towers should not be missed -- but no need to feel obliged to get up the expensive elevator onto the bridge.
• The Bukit Bintang neighborhood is home to many hostels, bars, cafes, and restaurants.

I had a shload of left over wood from framing out the pillars in the basement.
I measured the width of the bath tub and cut the boards to length. Me and my miter saw. My true tool-love.
I laid it out to make sure it all fit together.
I measured the inside width of the bath tub, and put the cross pieces slightly less than that. So the caddy wouldn't wiggle around. Nobody likes a wiggly caddy.
I ended up adding a third piece in the middle for support.
Of course I finish nailed it in the basement. That's where you keep your compressor and nail gun too, right?
And seal it up good with some polyurethane.
My bathroom is nothing fancy. In fact, we haven't done one bit of work to it. Haven't even painted it. This caddy transforms an ordinary space into a little splash of luxury.
It's for my personal "spa" days.
Water + orange slices, sugar free white chocolate pudding + raspberries, good book, and a bubble bath. It is good. And it is a proven recipe to turn people into prunes.
Let's be real, the magic doesn't really happen until you turn the lights off.
It is also strong enough to be a bench. Which is perfect for leg-shaving.
Obviously he has never shaved his legs before. Not sure how much success one can have in this position.
There you have it. This was SO easy. I made a total of 5 straight cuts, and a few nails with a nail gun. The longest part was waiting for the stain and poly to dry.
Now go enjoy yourself some dang bubbles!
What things do YOU do to add luxury to your ordinary life?

OH. Ooooohhhh, I like that. Oh….I must have one.
I like it too. It makes my life feel a little better.
my bathtub is far too disgusting for me to take a bath in it…. but a leg shaving step would be glorious! this may be a job for me and my new jigsaw!
It's pretty and practical! I almost bought a chrome bath caddy, but this is 10x better because you can use this to shave your legs. Love this!
Thanks Tricia! I love the function too. I definitely need this for shaving help. 🙂 And it stores very nicely under the sink.
Umm…Yeah, Totally Awesome! Maybe if I had that my books wouldn't fall into the tub all the time!!
I can't tell you how many times I've dropped books in the tub… knocked candles over the edge, spilled wax everywhere… oh yes.
I'm laughing(to myself as it's 3:30 in the morning- sometimes you just have to pull an almost all-nighter to get some cleaning done and a peaceful bath, lol). I was literally just thinking that I have GOT to figure out an easy, solid tray for the tub. Got out of bath, turned on tablet, went to thrifty decor chick over to get your craft on and saw your awesome tray!! So simple, absolutely have the materials out in the garage!! Thank you for posting this!
It's perfect! You'll love it 🙂 I'm glad I'm not the only one who stays up late to clean and bath! Send me pics when you're done!
Great project! Your last pics are so funny!! Pinning now!
I am SO jealous that you made one!! Seriously, I've been dying to make one for forever now, ever since I first saw that photo. I may have to get on this asap. I'll just have to get everything cut at the store – the woes of not having the right tools when you need them, sigh.
I one of the in my life in a bad way!
I needed one in my life too! And now I have it. I'm pretty excited to be using it!

Cricket-New Zealand eye top spot in second Pakistan test
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand will rise to the top of the world rankings for the first time, replacing Australia, if they avoid defeat against Pakistan in the second test in Christchurch and wrap up their two-match series.
After seven straight home test series triumphs, New Zealand will be strong favourites to secure another against a Pakistan side that showed great fight at Mount Maunganui but still lost the first test by 101 runs.
A victory at Hagley Oval to seal a 2-0 series sweep would also push the Black Caps firmly into contention for one of two berths in June's inaugural World Test Championship final at Lord's.
Under the leadership of Kane Williamson, who returned to the top of the world test batting rankings after his 23rd career century at Bay Oval, the Blacks Caps have developed into possibly the most consistent outfit in the test game.
They will, however, need to find a replacement for pace bowler Neil Wagner, who battled through the pain of two broken toes to finish the first test but will miss the second.
Matt Henry, who was brought into the squad after recovering from a hand injury, is likely to get the nod as a like-for-like replacement with batting all-rounder Daryl Mitchell another option.
A 165-run partnership between Fawad Alam and Mohammad Rizwan stalled New Zealand's charge to victory at Mount Maunganui and Pakistan will look to draw on that fighting spirit on another green track.
The tourists will continue to be without regular skipper Babar Azam who failed to recover from a fractured thumb sufficiently to take his place in a top order also missing opener Imam-ul-Haq, who has returned home with a similar injury.
Babar trained on Friday but felt some pain in his thumb and the Pakistan team management opted against any risk with a home series against South Africa starting later this month.
New Zealand and Pakistan were forced to train indoors on Saturday because of rain but the weather forecast looks precipitation-free for Sunday's first day with the outlook good for the rest of the match.

Cisco makes deal to push digital video over cable
The networking equipment leader makes another move into the cable networking equipment market, acquiring start-up V-Bits for $128 million in stock.
Jan. 2, 2002 4:43 p.m. PT
Cisco Systems made further moves into the cable networking equipment market today, acquiring start-up V-Bits for $128 million in stock.
V-Bits makes a set of hardware technology that allows cable companies to deliver digital video services over their networks. The company's technology is currently in trials with several cable firms, according to a Cisco spokeswoman.
The acquisition has been approved by the boards of both companies, and is expected to close in Cisco's second quarter in fiscal year 2000.
Cisco has made a series of moves to become a bigger player in providing technology for the cable industry. In September, Cisco purchased Cocom for $65 million in stock. Cocom, based in Copenhagen, develops high-speed technology for Internet access over cable, satellite, and wireless networks.
V-Bits will allow Cisco to develop technology based on Internet protocol (IP) so cable operators can offer combined voice, Net, and video services to their customers.
"We believe that the digital video marketplace, combined with data services, will be delivered over a single infrastructure in the future," said Ammar Hanafi, director of business development at Cisco. "We think we have a real opportunity here."
Companies such as MediaOne, AT&T, and Comcast, are increasingly looking to use their sprawling cable networks as a means to deliver a variety of interactive services. AT&T is currently waiting for federal approval for its purchase of MediaOne.
V-Bits is based in San Jose, California, and has 30 employees. V-Bits will be incorporated into Cisco's cable products and solutions group, part of its service provider line.
Hanafi said the V-Bits technology will initially be offered in separate equipment, but would eventually be combined with Cisco's current cable gear, sometimes called "head-end" equipment.
Separately, Cisco was recently named the most valuable company in Silicon Valley, pushing Intel to second place.

'Funding Secured': Elon Musk now has $63Billion to buy Twitter Outright
Elon Musk has announced that he has secured $US46.5 billion ($63 billion) in funding for the purchase of Twitter, increasing pressure on the company's board of directors to reach a deal. Musk unveiled a bid to purchase the social networking site last week, offering $US54.20 per share, or almost $US43 billion in cash. His first statement did not specify how he planned to fund his purchase. As reported on Thursday in papers filed with US securities authorities, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the money will come from Morgan Stanley and other banks, with part of it backed by his substantial stake in the electric vehicle manufacturer.
An official response from Musk has not been received by Twitter, which has implemented an anti-takeover mechanism known as a poison pill, which may make a takeover effort prohibitively costly. On Thursday, the business said that it had received Musk's modified proposal as well as "additional information on prospective finance," and that its board of directors was "committed to undertaking a thoughtful, complete, and deliberate examination."
Musk, who owns approximately 9% of Twitter's stock, has indicated that he is considering a tender offer, in which he would attempt to persuade other shareholders to pledge their stock to him at a specific price on a specific date, bypassing the board of directors. Musk has previously stated that he is considering a tender offer. In the event that a sufficient number of shareholders agree, Musk may use it as leverage to persuade the board of directors to remove the poison pill defense against his bid.
Musk, on the other hand, hasn't determined whether or not to do so. The "poison pill" defence, which was accepted by Twitter's board of directors last week, may render a takeover bid prohibitively costly. If someone were to purchase a 15% interest in the firm, it would result in a massive dividend distribution to shareholders, which may cause Twitter to go bankrupt.
Barclays, Bank of America, Societe Generale, Mizuho Bank, BNP Paribas, and MUFG are among the other financial institutions that have contributed to Musk's finance. Morgan Stanley is one of Twitter's largest stockholders, ranking third after Vanguard Group and Elon Musk in terms of value.
Musk's documents state that $US13 billion in financing came from Morgan Stanley and other banks, that up to $US12.5 billion would be loans secured by his Tesla stock, and that he has committed $US21 billion in equity, "directly or indirectly," from himself, though he did not specify where the funds would come from. According to the filing, the equity commitment may be lowered as a result of contributions from others or the assumption of new debt.
According to Forbes, Musk is the world's richest individual, having amassed a fortune of almost $US279 billion. Much of his wealth, though, is invested in Tesla shares — according to FactSet, he owns approximately 17 percent of the firm, which is valued at more than $US1 trillion — and SpaceX, his privately-owned space enterprise. It's not known how much money Musk has on hand.
Tesla enables senior officers to use their company's stock as collateral for loans, but the amount of money they may borrow is limited to 25 percent of the value of the stock pledged. Musk has 172.6 million shares, which are worth $US 176.47 billion, according to Forbes. According to a Tesla proxy statement, a little more than 51 percent of his stock has already been pledged as a kind of collateral. That implies Musk could use the remaining share to borrow around $21.5 billion, which is a significant amount of money.
Musk's recent step, according to Donna Hitscherich, a finance professor at Columbia University, demonstrates that he is "ratcheting up the seriousness of purpose" by lining up important institutions that may fund his bid for the company.
"If you're looking for funding, they are the obvious suspects," she said. "However, it is moving in the direction that he may be able to make good on his intentions if he goes ahead and launches the tender offer."
Following the announcement of the funding, Twitter's stock price jumped marginally to $US46.95 in late-afternoon trade on Thursday. The stock is now trading at $US7.25, which is 13% below Musk's offer.
In the filings, it is stated that Musk "is attempting to negotiate a formal deal for the purchase of Twitter… and is willing to initiate such discussions immediately." Tender offers are attempts to persuade other shareholders to commit their shares in exchange for cash at a certain price and on an established date. In the event that a sufficient number of shareholders agree, Musk may use it as leverage to persuade the board to abandon the poison pill defense. Musk hinted at the prospect of a tender offer in a series of tweets this week that included the term "tender" many times.

The cave attracted 243 tourist arrivals from 34 countries and territories across the world who joined 32 pilot tours "Conquering Son Doong-the world's largest cave" operated by the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park management board and Oxalis Adventure Tours in 2013. It generated over VND15 billion (US$645,600) for local tourism in the eight-month trial period.
The tours created stable jobs for 40 locals, with average income of VND6 million (US$258) per month at that time. Taking the cue from the adventure tours, local tourism services have been developed as well.


Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's office announced last week that his ongoing investigation into voter fraud has identified 27 people who are not citizens and who voted in Ohio elections. An earlier report by Husted's office found that 17 "non-citizens" had cast ballots, adding up to a total of 44 illegally cast ballots since 2012.

Ohio Secretary Jon Husted's office announced last week that his ongoing investigation into voter fraud has identified 27 people who are not citizens, but voted in Ohio elections. An earlier report by Husted's office found that 17 "non-citizens" had cast ballots, adding up to a total of 44 illegally cast ballots since 2012.
Given these numbers, less than 0.0006 percent of the 7.7 million registered voters in Ohio cast illegal ballots. Despite the miniscule numbers, Husted hailed the efforts as a success.
"No amount of voter fraud is acceptable and as the state's chief elections officer it is my responsibility to maintain our voter rolls and ensure only those who are eligible are participating in our elections," Husted said in a statement.
In 2013, Husted forwarded 17 cases of what appeared to be non-citizen voting during the 2012 presidential election to the Ohio attorney general, resulting in four convictions. Many more voting irregularities were reported by elections officials during the general election, but prosecutors across the state told Cleveland.com that the majority were the result of voter confusion or mistakes by officials.
Husted has admitted as much, saying on Thursday that voter fraud is rare. Still, Husted said he will continue to investigate those voting illegally and called on the federal government to aid him in the process.
Husted, in a February letter to President Obama, said he is worried that the president's executive action on immigration will increase the number of people voting illegally in the state.
"As chief elections official in a key swing state, I take very seriously my responsibility to make it both easy to vote and hard to cheat by ensuring that only eligible voters may participate in federal, state, and local elections," he said in a statement about the letter, arguing that the executive action will expand a "loophole" allowing undocumented immigrants to vote.
Some Ohio lawmakers have pointed out that not only has Husted focused on the nonexistent issue of "non-citizen" voter fraud, he also has not taken steps to make voting easier.
"I would like to see the Secretary of State focus on the real problem in our elections instead of playing to his base with these distractions," Democratic state Rep. Kathleen Clyde said in a statement. "Ohioans deserve answers on why their votes are being thrown out," she said, in reference to the 10,000 absentee ballots rejected during the 2014 election.
Ohio is one of many states that have painted voter fraud as a rampant threat to elections, using the issue to push legislation that makes casting ballots harder for many Americans who are legally registered to vote, particularly Black Americans.
CORRECTION: This article has been updated to include the correct percentage of registered Ohio voters who cast illegal ballots.

Q: How to run to if statements simultaneously in javascript? I am developing an employee login system that calculates the total time employee was logged in including the break times etc so I have two components 1. which keeps calculating the time until the employee is logged in 2. which calculates the total time of break. So in this situtation I do not want the login time to stop when the break is punched instead I want that break and login time should be running together
const [isLoggedIn, setLoggedIn] = useState(true)
const [isBreakPunched, setBreakPunch] = useState(true)
const [breakTime, setBreakTime] = useState(0);
const [loginTime, setLoginTime] = useState(0);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (isLoggedIn) {
      const interval = setInterval(() => {
        setLoginTime(onlineTime + 1);
      }, 1000);
      return () => clearInterval(interval);
    }
    if (isBreakPunched){
      const interval = setInterval(() =>{
        setBreakTime(auxTime +1);
      },1000);
      return ()=> clearInterval(interval);
    }
  });

When this runs, the loginTime is only running because the first condition is for login time indeed so to run the breakTime I have to stop the loginTime. This code is treating both as if..else.. loop
My query is that I want to run these both simultaneously when condition is true of anyone, they should be independent from each other

A: setInterval( () => {
    if (isLoggedIn) {
        setLoginTime(onlineTime + 1);
    }
    if (isBreakPunched) {
        setBreakTime(auxTime +1);
    }
}, 1000);

This interval checks if someone is logged in to set the login time, and sets the break time if they are on a break. BTW, it doesn't make sense that you want the login times and break times to be set depending on each other's condition while being 'independent' of each other.

Coca-Cola Plant Tour
Why work at CCAI
Meet Alix, Head of Disruptive Innovation & New Ventures
Meet Alix, Head of Disruptive Innovation & New Ventures /
Our people are our greatest asset, and they each have a unique story to tell. Alix Rimington, Head of Disruptive Innovation & New Ventures, Amatil X shares her views on working at Amatil.
By Coca-Cola Amatil 12 January 2018
Hi Alix, what is your favourite beverage and who would you share it with?
My favourite beverage depends on the time of day. In the morning, it's definitely a Grinders coffee (or two). This is followed by Mount Franklin products – still & sparkling. I've recently tried a couple of our rum cocktails and they are excellent – I would like to share one of those with the founder of our first startup investment to IPO! Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for that.
Tell us about your career path before joining Coca-Cola Amatil?
I started my career in media sales but have spent the majority of my time working in Corporate Affairs, including more than 10 years at Telstra. In 2014, I was seconded from Telstra to the B20 (the business group advising the G20 on policy) as Communications Director, during Australia's G20 host year.
At Amatil I have been lucky enough to have three very different roles. I joined in March 2015 as General Manager, Public Affairs and Communications – Australian Beverages. I then moved into the Group Leadership Team (GLT) Executive role in August 2016 and this year I started a full-time role as Head of Disruptive Innovation and New Ventures in the Amatil X team. While working as GLT Executive, I played a formative role in establishing Amatil X, so I'm excited to now be working in the team full time.
Why did you want to work with the team at Amatil?
I was initially attracted to the Coca-Cola Amatil brand. I knew the company had some incredible assets but also faced a number of challenges, particularly around sugar and packaging. As a corporate affairs professional, I was drawn to the issues as they are areas I'm interested in. I also really liked the team. Kate Mason was my first manager at Amatil and as soon I met her, I knew I wanted to work with her.
I joined Amatil when the Public Affairs and Communications (PACS) function was undergoing a lot of change which meant I could re-focus the PACS strategy in Australian Beverages and build a new team. It was a fantastic #onlyatamatil opportunity.
What does the Head of Disruptive Innovation & New Ventures role involve?
My focus in the Amatil X team is to build capability and connect Amatil businesses to the startup ecosystem. Through Amatil X we will scout for startups to help solve business challenges or address future customer needs.
How does the Amatil X partner with the broader business?
In Amatil X, effectively partnering with all Amatil businesses and helping them address some of their key priorities is critical to our success. I am currently working with colleagues in Indonesia and New Zealand to identify 2-3 business challenges / opportunities for 2019 where Amatil X can add value.
What is the team's area of focus for the next 12 months?
Amatil X launched in April 2018 as a new platform to identify, nurture and scale opportunities for growth outside of our existing businesses and beyond our core products and services. Our focus in 2018 was to learn by doing, which we did via our venturing arm AX Ventures (with two investments), our accelerator, Xcelerate (a six-month program in Australia & NZ with internal and external participants) and a number of other initiatives under the Xponential banner. We now have a solid understanding of the local startup ecosystem and what is required to be a legitimate and successful participant.
In 2019, we will focus on three areas: Scouting for startups – to solve existing business challenges or address a future customer need (to work with or invest in), corporate venturing, and being catalysts for disruptive change.
Our People Pact represents the commitment made between Amatil and our employees. Which pillar of the People Pact resonates with you the most and why?
'Write the Next Chapter' definitely resonates with me in my role in Amatil X. We're looking at new business models, disruptive innovation and emerging ventures which will help to shape the future of our business. Working in Amatil X, I believe I have a real opportunity to help write the next chapter in the Amatil story … it's a very exciting place to be!
What are your top three tips for being a positive role model at Amatil?
Bring your whole self to work - people want the authentic 'you', not just the work you.
Take the time to get to know your colleagues - you don't need to become best friends with everyone but taking the time to get to know people and what motivates them can be very rewarding.
Live our values.
How will you enjoy your next annual leave day?
I have just returned from two weeks leave, so it will be a while before the next break … But as I'm celebrating a milestone birthday this year I have a couple of holidays planned. I'm heading up to Noosa with my family and some friends for the Easter / Anzac Day holiday period and then we're off to Europe for a few weeks later in the year.
What is your #onlyatamatil moment and why did it make a difference to you?
There have been many, many moments particularly in the last few years as GLT Executive. A recent stand out was at the end of a business review in Fiji last year when without warning the local team broke into song (twice!) to farewell the GLT. It was extraordinarily moving. It was my last business review as GLT Executive and a reminder of what an amazing organisation I work for. Every business and every team has made me feel very welcome and taught me so much over the past 2.5 years.

Pramipexole Dihydrochloride is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist which is used for treating early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD) and restless legs syndrome (RLS).
It is also sometimes used off-label as a treatment for cluster headache and to counteract the problems with sexual dysfunction experienced by some users of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants.
Pramipexole Dihydrochloride is available as Generic Mirapex Tablets which is packaged in 0.25 and 0.5 mg tablets. Generic Mirapex is available as Pramipex, Mirapexin and Sifrol.
Several unusual adverse effects of pramipexole (Generic Mirapex) may include compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, and overeating, even in patients without any prior history of these behaviours. These behaviors have been reported to manifest in almost 14% of patients on DA agonist therapies. Other compulsive behaviors, such as excessive shopping and compulsive cross-dressing, have been reported.
The recommended starting dose of Pramipexole Dihydrochloride to treat Parkinson's disease is 0.375 mg/day given in three divided doses and should not be increased more frequently than every 5 to 7 days. The recommended starting dose of Pramipex Tablets to treat Restless Legs Syndromeis 0.125 mg taken once daily 2 to 3 hours before bedtime.
Take each dose of Generic Mirapex with a full glass of water. Pramipexole can be taken with or without food.

Redburn on the History of Cross-Dressing Bans
Kate Redburn (Columbia Law School; Yale University, Faculty of Arts & Sciences, Department of History) has posted Before Equal Protection: The Fall of Cross-Dressing Bans and the Transgender Legal Movement, 1963–86 (Redburn, K. (2023). Before Equal Protection: The Fall of Cross-Dressing Bans and the Transgender Legal Movement, 1963–86. Law and History Review, 1-45) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Scholars are still unsure why American cities passed cross-dressing bans over the closing decades of the nineteenth century. By the 1960s, cities in every region of the United States had cross-dressing regulations, from major metropolitan centers to small cities and towns. They were used to criminalize gender non-conformity in many forms - for feminists, countercultural hippies, cross-dressers (or "transvestites"), and people we would now consider transgender. Starting in the late 1960s, however, criminal defendants began to topple cross-dressing bans.
The story of their success invites a re-assessment of the contemporary LGBT movement's legal history. This article argues that a trans legal movement developed separately but in tandem with constitutional claims on behalf of gays and lesbians. In some cases, gender outlaws attempted to defend the right to cross-dress without asking courts to understand or adjudicate their gender. These efforts met with mixed success: courts began to recognize their constitutional rights, but litigation also limited which gender outlaws could qualify as trans legal subjects. Examining their legal strategies offers a window into the messy process of translating gender non-conforming experiences and subjectivities into something that courts could understand. Transgender had to be analytically separated from gay and lesbian in life and law before it could be reattached as a distinct minority group.

Q: Product images issue in vue storefornt I integrated vue store front with magento 2, frontend works fine but product images not display in frontend. It throws error Unable to compile TypeScript:\nsrc/image/action/local/index.ts(27,18): error TS2339: Property 'query' does not exist on type 'Request<any, any, any, any>'. imagemagick is also installed and imgurl in local.json is also defined.
Anyone please know about this why error display.

A: It is about this.req which is typeof Request from express - it has query property. Please make sure you have yarn.lock from the original repo and reinstall dependencies.
If you are using docker, you might need to add:
- './yarn.lock/var/www/yarn.lock'
To volumes section in the docker-compose.nodejs.yml

A: i have found a simple solution you can try that
copy all your magento 2 pub/media data in vue-storefront-api/var/magento-folder/pub/media
Or
create a symlink if you are working on localhost
vue-storefront-api/config/local.json

"magento2": {
"imgUrl": "http://magento-domain/pub/media/catalog/product",
"assetPath": "/../var/magento-folder/pub/media",

Suki Hill was a professional photographer who lived in the town of Mill Valley, California for forty-six years. Suki photographed subjects ranging from the streets of Paris to portraits of rock stars, authors, painters, musicians and the rich and famous, but her favorite subjects the people of her community – their celebrations, events, gatherings, work – in short, their lives.
Suki Hill's black and white photography captured both individuality and relationships, and communicated a known longing for the familiar. Suki lived life with rare skill and deep heartfeltness. She practiced her art with those same gifts, and bridged the gap between the two with an extraordinary passion and sense of connection. Her photographic imagery reflected the love she felt for people, her community and the world. She knew how to bring life into art and art into life. And most importantly, she opened doors to our connectivity and our joy doing our work.
Suki's work on display here at the Mill Valley Community Center captures a time of travel and exploring for Suki. These are images and experiences that she lived in the mid 60's as a young photographer finding her niche. And that she did. She had a magnetic way of drawing people in and making them feel open and comfortable in her presence, and for that she captured soulfulness in her subjects. These images were and are a huge part of Suki's body of work, however have not been exhibited until now. She loved and was so proud of all these experiences.
Suki Hill's archival and personal exhibit, "A Photographer's Intimate View of Mill Valley, California 1900- 2001" was on display in the city's library for nearly ten years. In 2007 Hill was pleased to receive a Milley award, which honors local citizens who have contributed substantially to the character and fabric of Mill Valley. She was the author of" Mill Valley Then and Now", in which she paired historic photographic scenes of Mill Valley with her contemporary photographs shot from the same vantage point. Her exhibit, Mill Valley at Work, displayed on the outdoor wall of the ThrockmortonTheatre, was inspired by a commission from the Theatre. The intent was to pay tribute to the individuals who work in Mill Valley.
Suki Hill graduated from Sarah Lawrence College and did graduate work in Creative Arts at San Francisco State University and Philosophy at University of California Berkeley. She photographed family weddings, portraits, performances & events. She also made herself available to many service organizations and fundraising events.

Pacific Rim Uprising Film's New York Comic Con 2017 Official Trailer
First unveiled at this year's New York Comic Con, Legendary Pictures has unveiled the first official trailer of the much-awaited Pacific Rim sequel, Pacific Rim Uprising.
Taking place years after the events of the first film, the sequel follows Jake Pentecost (played by John Boyega), the song of Stacker Pentecost, who witnessed his father's demise at the end of the original film. Some portions of the film will be shot in China, and the sequel's story has a "strong connection to China".
The film also stars Cailee Spaeny (Counting to 1000) as its female lead. Also confirmed to be part of the film are Scott Eastwood (Suicide Squad), Jing Tian (Police Story: Lockdown, Kong: Skull Island), and Mackenyu (Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable) in unnamed roles.
Pacifim Rim: Uprising is set for a March 23, 2018 release.


When a Republican-led House panel subpoenaed the White House to turn over any and all Solyndra-related documents, I figured they'd drag their heels until about, oh, mid-November of 2012. Sure enough, the White House is protesting the subpoena, but the reason given is funny coming from an administration that has been busy skirting Congress by way of executive order.
The feisty response appears to set up a clash between congressional investigators and the White House over the sprawling probe into Solyndra's finances and the administration's involvement in the decision to provide the struggling company a $528 million loan with taxpayer money.
"When it comes to solar energy, Republicans embrace the disinfecting power of sunlight and disclosure. When it comes to oil, they seem to prefer to hide behind its murky sheen.
So if the Republicans would just shut up and allow a dozen more Solyndras to get hundreds of millions in additional taxpayer loans and then go under, more Americans would end up using solar power?
Let's not forget, we're talking about an administration that came into office billing itself as the most transparent in history. "Bush didn't have to do it that way" shouldn't be an acceptable defense if we are in fact witnessing a historic level of transparency.
Do you think he could get President Obama to sign it? Didn't think so… just asking.

Bill Gates speaks about what he would do if he were president to deal with coronavirus
Posted by admin March 28, 2020 in U.S. NEWS
1 Talking about the current condition, around 179 million people in 31 countries, 14 cities and 18 states have been told to stay at home.
The recent Coronavirus outbreak has severely affected the entire world. Even though countries are taking the necessary steps, the rate of affected patients is rising every day. If you look at the current situation of the United States of America, more than 80,000 people have been affected by the COVID-19 virus. Well, Bill Gates has recently shared his thoughts about the COVID-19 pandemic. So, let's have a look at what he has shared and what he would do if he were the president of the U.S.
Bill Gates said that he would try his best to keep citizens of the U.S. to reduce the rising curve of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. On Tuesday, while taking with Chris Anderson, TED Curator, Bill Gates said that people have no choice to follow the isolation, and it will keep going for some more time. In the case of China, the isolation period was six weeks. So, now all the citizens should prepare themselves for that and need to follow it strictly. Gates further informed that if people follow isolation properly, within just 20 days, the numbers can go down significantly. If he were president, he would emphasize, this will not be an easy task for all. For this, people need a clear message.
Talking about the current condition, around 179 million people in 31 countries, 14 cities and 18 states have been told to stay at home.
As per the report submitted by John Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center, in the United States, the number of affected people is rising at a higher rate. However, the curve is flattened in South Korea and China.
Bill Gates, the co-founder of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has significant experience in dealing with various infectious diseases such as polio, HIV, Malaria, and more.
The comments from Gates came after President Donald Trump's announcement. He recently announced that we would like all the businesses in the U.S. to restart their operation by April 12.
On Monday, during a press meet, Trump said that the U.S. would soon open for the business.
He further added that the country couldn't let the cure be worse than the current issue. The country can manage two different things at one time.
It is not easy to close down the world's most successful and the biggest country, i.e., the United States of America, he further added. He also suggested that if a recession occurs, it can also affect the lives.
However, Medical experts have suggested that if schools and businesses start operating in such a situation, that will lead to severe consequences as it will help in spreading the pandemic. Dr. Tina Tan, Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago's staff member, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America's board member said Donald Trump doesn't know about the reality.
Gates emphasizes that in such a situation, it is quite important to prioritize human health instead of money.
In his statement, Gates said that the economy of the country would be affected by this situation. But generating money and developing economy is the reversible thing. But people's lives can't be brought back.
