In this codelab, you'll build a restaurant recommendation web app powered by Cloud Firestore.
Note: Although Node.js is a requirement for running and testing our app during development, the final application will not be dependent on Node.js.
In the Firebase console, click Add project, then name the Firebase project FriendlyEats.
Important: Your Firebase project will be named FriendlyEats, but Firebase will automatically assign it a unique Project ID in the form friendlyeats-1234. This unique identifier is how your project is actually identified (including in the CLI), whereas FriendlyEats is simply a display name.
For this specific codelab, we've already configured Firebase Hosting. However, for Firebase Auth and Cloud Firestore, we'll walk you through the configuration and enabling of the services using the Firebase console.
Although authentication isn't the focus of this codelab, it's important to have some form of authentication in our app. We'll use Anonymous login - meaning that the user will be silently signed in without being prompted.
You'll need to enable Anonymous login.
Enable the Anonymous Sign-in Provider, then click Save.
This will allow the application to silently sign in your users when they access the web app. Feel free to read the Anonymous Authentication documentation to learn more.
The app uses Cloud Firestore to save the chat messages and receive new chat messages.
Using your IDE (WebStorm, Atom, Sublime, Visual Studio Code...) open or import the �friendlyeats-web directory. This directory contains the starting code for the codelab which consists of a not-yet functional restaurant recommendation app. We'll make it functional throughout this codelab so you will need to edit code in that directory soon.
The Firebase Command Line Interface (CLI) allows you to serve your web app locally and deploy your web app to Firebase Hosting.
We've set up the web app template to pull your app's configuration for Firebase Hosting from your app's local directory and files. But to do this, we need to associate your app with your Firebase project.
Make sure that your command line is accessing your app's local directory.
We're ready to actually start work on our app! Let's run our app locally!
We're using the Firebase Hosting emulator to serve our app locally. The web app should now be available from http://localhost:5000.
Open your app at http://localhost:5000.
You should see your copy of FriendlyEats which has been connected to your Firebase project.
The app has automatically connected to your Firebase project and silently signed you in as an anonymous user.
Firestore data is split into collections, documents, fields, and subcollections. We will store each restaurants as a document in a top-level collection called restaurants.
Later, we'll store each reviews in a subcollection called ratings in each restaurants.
The main model object in our app is a restaurant. Let's write some code that adds a restaurant document to the restaurants collection.
From your downloaded files, open scripts/FriendlyEats.Data.js.
Go back to your FriendlyEats app in your browser and refresh it.
The app will automatically generate a random set of restaurants objects, then call your addRestaurant function. However, you won't yet see the data in your actual web app because we still need to implement retrieving the data (the next section of the codelab).
If you navigate to the Cloud Firestore tab in the Firebase console, though, you should now see new documents in the restaurants collection!
Congratulations, you have just written data to Cloud Firestore from a web app!
In the next section, you'll learn how to retrieve data from Cloud Firestore and display it in your app.
In this section, you'll learn how to retrieve data from Cloud Firestore and display it in your app. The two key steps are creating a query and adding a snapshot listener. This listener will be notified of all existing data that matches the query and will receive updates in real time.
First, let's construct the query that will serve the default, unfiltered list of restaurants.
Go back to the file scripts/FriendlyEats.Data.js.
In the code above, we construct a query which will retrieve up to 50 restaurants from the top-level collection named restaurants, which are ordered by the average rating (currently all zero). After we declared this query, we pass it to the getDocumentsInQuery() method which is responsible for loading and rendering the data.
We'll do this by adding a snapshot listener.
if (!snapshot.size) return renderer.empty(); // Display "There are no restaurants".
In the code above, query.onSnapshot will trigger its callback every time there's a change to the result of the query.
The first time, the callback is triggered with the entire result set of the query -- meaning the whole restaurants collection from Cloud Firestore. It then passes all the individual documents to the renderer.display function.
When a document is deleted, change.type equals to removed. So in this case, we'll call a function that removes the restaurant from the UI.
Now that we've implemented both methods, refresh the app and verify that the restaurants we saw earlier in the Firebase console are now visible in the app. If you completed this section successfully, then your app is now reading and writing data with Cloud Firestore!
As your list of restaurants changes, this listener will keep updating automatically. Try going to the Firebase console and manually deleting a restaurant or changing its name - you'll see the changes show up on your site immediately!
Note: It's also possible to fetch documents from Cloud Firestore once, rather than listening for real time updates using the Query.get() method.
So far, we've shown how to use onSnapshot to retrieve updates in real time; however, that's not always what we want. Sometimes it makes more sense to only fetch the data once.
We'll want to implement a method that's triggered when a user clicks into a specific restaurant in your app.
Go back to your file scripts/FriendlyEats.Data.js.
For now, you can't add ratings as we still need to implement adding ratings later on in the codelab.
Currently, our app displays a list of restaurants, but there's no way for the user to filter based on their needs. In this section, you'll use Cloud Firestore's advanced querying to enable filtering.
As its name implies, the where() method will make our query download only members of the collection whose fields meet the restrictions we set. In this case, it'll only download restaurants where category is Dim Sum.
In our app, the user can chain multiple filters to create specific queries, like "Pizza in San Francisco" or "Seafood in Los Angeles ordered by Popularity".
We'll create a method that builds up a query which will filter our restaurants based on multiple criteria selected by our users.
The code above adds multiple where filters and a single orderBy clause to build a compound query based on user input. Our query will now only return restaurants that match the user's requirements.
These errors are because Cloud Firestore requires indexes for most compound queries. Requiring indexes on queries keeps Cloud Firestore fast at scale.
Opening the link from the error message will automatically open the index creation UI in the Firebase console with the correct parameters filled in. In the next section, we'll write and deploy the indexes needed for this application.
If we don't want to explore every path in our app and follow each of the index creation links, we can easily deploy many indexes at once using the Firebase CLI.
In your app's downloaded local directory, you'll find a firestore.indexes.json file.
This file describes all the indexes needed for all the possible combinations of filters.
After a few minutes, your indexes will be live and the error messages will go away.
Tip: To learn more about indexes in Cloud Firestore, visit the documentation.
In this section, we'll add the ability for users to submit reviews to restaurants. So far, all of our writes have been atomic and relatively simple. If any of them errored, we'd likely just prompt the user to retry them or our app would retry the write automatically.
Our app will have many users who want to add a rating for a restaurant, so we'll need to coordinate multiple reads and writes. First the review itself has to be submitted, then the restaurant's rating count and average rating need to be updated. If one of these fails but not the other, we're left in an inconsistent state where the data in one part of our database doesn't match the data in another.
Fortunately, Cloud Firestore provides transaction functionality that allows us to perform multiple reads and writes in a single atomic operation, ensuring that our data remains consistent.
In the block above, we trigger a transaction to update the numeric values of averageRating and ratingCount in the restaurant document. At the same time, we add the new rating to the ratings subcollection.
Note: Adding ratings is a good example for using a transaction for this particular codelab. However, in a production app you should perform the average rating calculation on a trusted server to avoid manipulation by users. A good way to do this is to write the rating document directly from the client, then use Cloud Functions to update the new restaurant average rating.
Warning: When a transaction fails on the server, the callback is also re-executed repeatedly. Never place logic that modifies app state inside the transaction callback.
At the beginning of this codelab, we set our app's security rules to completely open the database to any read or write. In a real application, we'd want to set much more fine-grained rules to prevent undesirable data access or modification.
Click the Rules tab in the Cloud Firestore section (or click here to go directly there).
Replace the defaults with the following rules, then click Publish.
Updates to a restaurant document can only change the ratings, not the name or any other immutable data.
Ratings can only be created if the user ID matches the signed-in user, which prevents spoofing.
Important: To learn more about security rules, have a look at the security rules documentation.
In this codelab, you learned how to perform basic and advanced reads and writes with Cloud Firestore, as well as how to secure data access with security rules. You can find the full solution in the quickstarts-js repository.


In the discussion of the bst class in the last section, the class did not have all of the member functions required for the Basic Operation of an ADT Binary Search Tree. We still need two main member functions to be added to the class. First we need a member function display( ) that traverses the tree and displays the value of data of each of the nodes from the lowest valued node to the node with the highest value. Second the class needs a member function delete_node( ) that removes a particular node from the tree. So far in the discussion of the bst class, the member functions have been defined in an iterative manner. In this section the two new member functions will be defined recursively.
To define the function display( ) we want to start with the node that has the lowest data value. This node happens to be a leaf on the left side of the tree. Therefore we need to start at the root and move down the left branch of the root. After we have completed displaying the left branch of the root, the function would then display the value of data for the root. Next the function would proceed in a manner similar to the left branch and this time move down the right branch displaying the value of each data for these nodes. This sounds like a recursive process doesn't it!
For example suppose the member function display( ) is to act on the following binary tree. Recall that the pointer root of the bst object points to the binode whose data value is 50.
The desire is to display the data value of the binode pointed to by the root of this tree and all of the data values below it. To achieve this, the function first needs to display the data in the left branch of the root, then display the data of the root and finally to display the data of each binode in the right branch. What we should see would be: 25, 37, 43, 49, 50, 57, 65, 71. To display the data values at each binode in the tree, we would display those of the branch to the left of the binode followed by displaying the data of the root binode and finally display the data of each binode in the right branch.
Notice in the body of the function traverse( ), that when a node of the tree was reached, the left branch was traversed first and then the node's data was displayed and finally the right branch was traversed. All of this was done in a recursive manner. To see how these functions work, see example: bst2.cpp and the header bst2h. This example uses Date objects from the header: date.h.
Second case would be the node that has only one child like the node above with data value 4. The third type of node to consider would have two children like the node above that has data value 2.
In the first case, the node should be deleted and its parent's pointer pointing to it should be set to NULL. In the second case, the program must traverse to the child first and process it before the parent can be deleted. In the third case both children must be handled in the same way. The third case is the most difficult.
To see how a node could be deleted from a BST see example: bst3.cpp and the header bst3.h. This example uses Date objects from the header: date.h.
For the final example in this lecture, I have created a menued program that permits the testing of each of the individual member functions of the class bst. In addition it permits the input of the data from a disk file into the BST and then it sends the data to the binary file as the data is removed from the BST. For this example see bst4.cpp and the headers: bst4.h and date.h.

Q: Azure Mobile Services in a PCL project that includes WP8 Is it possible to inlcude AzureMobileServices client in a PCL that includes WP8?
I used to have a PCL project that had it up until I upgraded it to VisualStudio 2013.
The required PCL is profile78: .NET4.5, Windows Store apps (Win8), WP8, and the Xamarin twins.
I tried following this recommendation from Xamarin to reference the component's DLL directly, however the DLL was compiled for profile7 (that does not include WP8).

A: Yes. Make sure you are using at least version 1.1.5 of the Mobile Services NuGet package or Xamarin Component and you will be able to successfully use it from a PCL that includes WP8. For a tutorial on how to do this, see here.

A: It looks like their nuget package only includes directories for Store, .Net 4.5, Wp8, and Portable-Store+.Net 4.5.  However if I ildasm the dll in the portable folder I see it was built for Profile78, which does support phone.
This looks like a bug with the WindowsAzure.MobileServices.nupkg nuspec authoring.

MTA Says Emergency Brake Preceded 'A' Train Derailment, Investigation Ongoing
by Emma Whitford
Updated: Jun 27, 2017 7:55 PM
An A train emergency brake was activated Tuesday morning just before two train cars derailed and hit the subway tunnel wall, according to newly re-minted MTA Chairman Joe Lhota.
Lhota hosted a brief press conference Tuesday outside of the 125th Street station in Harlem, where the A train derailed shortly before 10:00 a.m. prompting multiple train evacuations and major delays throughout the system. He said investigators will determine how the brake was triggered.
"We are evaluating what caused the brakes to go into emergency," Lhota said.
"Two of the cars derailed and scraped the side of the wall," he added. "Two of the cars went right into the [125th Street] station, so people were able to get out. Some people decided to go out the back way on their own, which we never encourage."
Ronnie Hakim, who has served as the MTA's interim director, added that a preliminary investigation revealed track damage, switch damage, and damage along the concrete subway tunnel wall. The derailed A train had not been removed from the subway tunnel as of 11:30 a.m.
"While it looks like scrapes and bumps, we don't know full extent of train damage until it is removed [from the tunnel]," Lhota said.

Witnesses told Gothamist that one subway car door was torn from its hinges during the derailment. They also reported breathing in smoke, and seeing sparks. Lhota said Tuesday that sparks along the tracks set garbage on fire, prompting a "minor... smoke condition."
The MTA could not confirm the speed that the train was traveling at when it derailed. The operator is currently with investigators, according to Lhota.

While Lhota told reporters that seven people sustained minor injuries during Tuesday's derailment, the FDNY supplied a much higher number. FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro told reporters on the scene that at least 34 people sustained non-life threatening injuries—that 17 were evaluated on the scene, and 17 others were taken to Harlem Hospital or New York Presbyterian.
According to Nigro, 200 firefighters and 100 police officers evacuated about 500 people from the subway tracks. It was not immediately clear how many straphangers were on the derailed A train, and how many were on three other trains evacuated as a result of the derailment. Meanwhile, the derailment caused an extreme backlog at the Jay Street A/C station in Downtown Brooklyn.

— King Maker 🌟 (@Tony_Lito) June 27, 2017
"The department deployed folks north and south of this station," Nigro told reporters. "They went down onto the tracks in three locations. That's where those trains were stopped."
"It was a very difficult operation, operating below ground with that many people," he added.
Today's derailment is the latest in a string of subway-related woes, including a stalled F train that trapped rush hour riders underground for close to an hour. Many of the issues have been attributed to aging infrastructure.
"We need to figure out what exactly caused [this], but it does not look like a failure on the part of the track itself," Lhota said of today's derailment.
"One of the things that I will do while I'm here is to rebuild the confidence in the MTA," he added.
Governor Andrew Cuomo, who effectively controls the MTA, recently asked to increase the number of state-appointed MTA Board members. While Cuomo already has a plurality of board votes, and sets spending priorities, he has insisted that his control is not complete.
Advocates, meanwhile, have accused Cuomo of attempting to distance himself from the system's failings.
"Regardless of the proximate cause of today's derailment, nothing should cause a train to come off the rails," said John Raskin, director of the Riders Alliance, in a statement. "First an F train traps people underground. Then an A train derails. Incidents like this will keep happening until Governor Cuomo takes charge with a plan to fix a failing transit system. What will it take for the Governor to stop making excuses and start funding public transit?"
Hakim told reporters that it is "too early to tell" how this morning's derailment could impact the evening commute. Check Twitter and MTA.info for the latest updates on service changes and shuttle alternatives on the impacted train lines.
Neither City Hall, nor Governor Cuomo's Office, immediately responded to a request for comment.

15 Of The Best January Transfer Window Signings Ever
Footballorbit January 4, 2023 11:45 pm 0 215
Nemanja Vidic is arguably the best January transfer window signing ever. He joined Manchester United from Spartak Moscow in 2006 for just £7m.
The January transfer window regularly offers European clubs the opportunity to strengthen their squads mid-season for title challenges, cup runs or relegation battles. Some of the best signings made in football history occurred in this period.
Also known as the winter transfer window, it offers lots of last-minute dramas. It sees desperate clubs try to save their season with panic buys.
However, the January transfer window has recorded lots of success; with some clubs making astute recruitments to salvage their seasons.
Some of these players turned the fortunes of their clubs around and went on to become very successful.
On the other hand, some transfers didn't go well. Notable examples being Andy Carroll to Liverpool, Fernando Torres to Chelsea, Juan Mata to Man Utd, Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona among so many others.
In this list, FootballOrbit runs through 15 of the best January transfers in history.
1. Nemanja Vidic (Spartak Moscow to Manchester United — 2006)
2. Luis Suarez (Ajax to Liverpool — 2011)
3. Jose Antonio Reyes (Sevilla to Arsenal — 2004)
4. Virgil van Dijk (Southampton to Liverpool — 2018)
5. Dimitar Berbatov (CSKA Sofia to Bayer Leverkusen — 2001)
6. Philippe Coutinho (Inter Milan to Liverpool — 2013)
7. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borrusia Dortmund to Arsenal — 2018)
8. Marcelo (Fluminense to Real Madrid – 2007)
9. Branislav Ivanovic (Lokomotiv Moscow to Chelsea — 2008)
10. Bruno Fernandes (Sporting Lisbon to Manchester United — 2020)
11. Gonzalo Higuain (River Plate to Real Madrid — 2007)
12. Patrice Evra (Monaco to Man United — 2006)
13. Gary Cahill (Bolton to Chelsea — 2012)
14. Papiss Cisse (Freiburg to Newcastle — 2012)
15. Emmanuel Adebayor (Monaco to Arsenal — 2006)
Nemanja Vidic confirmed as the best ever January signing. ✍🔴 pic.twitter.com/EEtCkak3ar

Arguably the best January transfer window signing ever. Nemanja Vidic was a relatively unknown centre-back when he joined Manchester United from Spartak Moscow in 2006 for just £7m.
He went on to form a solid defensive partnership with Rio Ferdinand at Old Trafford and eventually became the club's captain.
The Serbia international won 5 Premier League titles, 3 League Cups, the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup during his 8-and-half-year spell at Man Utd.
Furthermore, Vidic is one of the only 4 players to win the Premier League Player of the Season award twice — alongside Thierry Henry, Kevin De Bruyne and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In January 2011, Liverpool signed Luis Suarez from Ajax in a €26.5m (£22.8m) deal. He helped the Reds win the League Cup in his first full season.

The Uruguayan then won the Golden Boot in 2013/14 with 31 goals in 33 Premier League appearances as Liverpool almost won the Premier League title.
As a result, he equalled the goalscoring record for a 38-game Premier League season and won his first European Golden Shoe.
Eventually, Suarez left for Barcelona in 2014 for a bargain price of €82.3m (£64.98m).
After breaking through at Sevilla as a 16 year old, Jose Antonio Reyes joined Arsenal in January 2004 on a £10.5m fee.
He hit the ground running immediately and his goals in the last two games of the season crucially helped the Gunners win the Premier League title unbeaten.
Moreso, Reyes helped Arsenal win the FA Cup and Community Shield as well as reaching the UEFA Champions League final in 2006.
After lots of transfer speculations, Virgil van Dijk eventually joined Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018 for £75m — then a world record transfer fee for a defender.
He helped them reached back-to-back Champions League finals in 2018 and 2019, winning the latter.
The Dutchman was also named PFA Players' Player of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season in his first full season.
He was instrumental as Liverpool ended their 30-year wait for a Premier League title in 2019/20.
In addition, Van Dijk helped the Reds win the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and League Cup.
He is already a legend at Anfield.
Bayer Leverkusen cleverly signed Dimitar Berbatov from CSKA Sofia for just €1.3 million in the 2001 January transfer window.
At that period, the club also had great players like Lucio, Michael Ballack, Ze Roberto and Juan.
Berbatov helped them reach the Champions League final in 2002, losing to Real Madrid.
The Bulgarian went on to score 69 goals and provided 32 assists in 154 Bundesliga games.
After 5-and-a-half years with Leverkusen, he joined Tottenham in July 2006 — spending two years before moving to Manchester United.
On this day in 2013, Liverpool committed daylight robbery by signing Philippe Coutinho from Inter Milan for just £8.5m. pic.twitter.com/CvI4MPfEXa
— FootballFunnys (@FootballFunnnys) January 30, 2017
After failing to establish himself at Inter Milan, Philippe Coutinho joined Liverpool for just £8.5 million in January 2013.
A classic Brazilian number 10, Coutinho flourished at Liverpool. He possessed great dribbling ability, pace, vision, passing and had a penchant for scoring spectacular long-range curling shots.
Although he failed to win any trophy at Anfield, he was named in the PFA Team of the Year in 2015.
Ultimately, Coutinho joined Barcelona in January 2018 for a club record fee worth €160m — making him the world's 2nd most expensive player at the time.
But this time around, his move during the January transfer window terribly failed as he badly flopped at Barca.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Arsenal for a then £56 million club-record fee in January 2018.
The speedy striker quickly hit the ground running, becoming the fastest player in Arsenal history to score 50 league goals (79 games).
Additionally, he was the Premier League's joint-top goalscorer in 2018/19.
Aubameyang helped the Gunners win the FA Cup in 2020, scoring braces against Man City and Chelsea in the semi-final and final respectively.
The Gabonese also guided Arsenal to the Europa league final in 2019 — where they eventually lost to Chelsea.
Regarded as one of the greatest left-backs of all-time, Marcelo joined Real Madrid from Brazilian club, Fluminense, as an 18-year-old in January 2007.
His trickery, technique, speed, dribbling skills, crossing ability, precise passing and eye for the final ball made him a very dangerous threat when overlapping.
At Madrid, Marcelo went on to become a legend. He won 5 UEFA Champions League titles and 6 La Liga titles, among other honours.
The Brazilian became Real Madrid's most decorated player — with 25 trophies won.
Early on in Branislav Ivanovic's Chelsea career, he was regarded as a terrible failure.
He arrived from Lokomotiv Moscow for £9 million in the 2008 January transfer window amid big expectations, yet wasn't even fit enough to play Premier League football.
He made his Chelsea debut after a whole 8 months! He later admitted that he almost quitted during that turbulent period.
But after fully settling down at Stamford Bridge, he became one of the best full-backs in the world, and eventually became a club legend.
The Serbian was capable at both right-back and center-back, and helped Chelsea win 9 major trophies.
Ivanovic's finest hour came in the 2013 Europa League final against Benfica, when he scored a dramatic late winner in a man-of-the-match display.
In January 2020, Manchester United signed Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon for a fee reportedly worth up to €80m (£67.6m).
He quickly justified the huge price tag, registering 45 direct goal involvements (28 goals & 17 assists) in his first calendar year at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese star is still one of the best players for the Red Devils.
Gonzalo Higuaín started his career with Argentine club, River Plate, before joining Real Madrid in January 2007 for €12 million.
The transfer proved to be a masterstroke as the Argentine established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe.
Higuain won several domestic honours with Real, including 3 La Liga titles.
Overall, he scored an incredible 107 goals in 190 league appearances.

Patrice Evra helped Monaco reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2004. His performances earned him a £5.5m move to Manchester United in January 2006.
The fee proved to be a bargain as the Frenchman became one of the best full-backs in the world at his prime.
He was very brilliant at both ends of the pitch and really loved bombing forward.
Evra went on to win 14 trophies at Man Utd, including 5 Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League.
In January 2012, Cahill joined Chelsea from Bolton Wanderers for just £7 million.
The English centre-back was known for his technical ability, good tackling, positioning as well as his powerful heading in both defence and attack.
Cahill won the UEFA Champions League in his debut season at Chelsea.
Later, he went on to win the Europa League (twice), Premier League (twice), FA Cup and League Cup.
At Freiburg, Papiss Cisse set the record of most goals scored by an African player in a single Bundesliga campaign.
In January 2012, he joined Newcastle on a £9.3m fee — linking up with fellow Senegal striker Demba Ba.
What a signing it was!!! Cisse scored 13 goals in his first 14 matches to help Newcastle finish 5th in the Premier League.
Subsequently, he became a fans favourite and regularly scored important goals.

Like Evra, Emmanuel Adebayor was part of the Monaco team that reached the Champions League final in 2004.
The Togolese striker later joined Arsenal in January 2006 for £3 million.
His pace, strength, technique, finishing and ability to link-up brilliantly with teammates saw him became one of the best strikers in the Premier League.
Unfortunately, Adebayor ruined his Arsenal legacy when he joined Manchester City and ran almost the full length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the Gunners' supporters after scoring for his new club.
The iinfamous sprint became one of the most controversial goal celebrations in football history.

Everybody likes to save money, as it helps to make life a lot easier, especially for families with multiple people to provide for. Whilst there are always plenty of discounts and online coupons available throughout the year, there are some times which are best for finding these discounts and saving yourself more money than usual. As the festival seasons approach, prices start to hike up, but you always try portals like Coupon Raja and get yourself a bargain. Here are some of the best times of year to find discounts and make big savings. If you are about to buy anything online, keep these 5 things on mind.
Holi is one of the most joyful festivals in India because it celebrates the triumph of good over bad, and is celebrated in a happy and cheerful way through bright and vibrant colours. Because there are so many things you can do to celebrate Holi, there are lots of different merchant who will offer discounts on their products. For example, people will commonly buy abir dye to paint each other's faces with during this festival. Merchants who sell it will know this, and will offer discounts to make sure they get lots of business. Plus, if you wait until after the festival has finished, you might find it going even cheaper to store for next year.
Because Holi is the festival of colours, making your home as bright and colourful as possible is a great way of celebrating. Having a good thorough clean-up is a good idea if you're having guests around, so you might find that this is a good time to find discount vouchers on cleaning products, but an even better way to make your home the perfect setting for celebrations is to decorate it. If you have children, they might like to make some decorations for the festival, and this could be a good time to find discounts on arts and crafts products. If you do not use them up, you'll have them in advance for next time you feel like being creative, and you won't have to splash out in future.
Being the festival of light, Diwali is one of the most positive festivals in India, celebrating the victory of Lord Rama over Ravan, the demon. Some people spend a lot of money on festivals like these but there are plenty of ways to save yourself money, too. Firstly, don't overspend on sweets and food. That doesn't mean you have to cut back. There are plenty of discount vouchers which will be available at this time on websites like Couponraja, Coupon Chief, Coupon Cabin etc, so you can still enjoy the same treats you normally do, but for less.
Another way to save money is to light up your house, not with electricity, but with candles. Lots of merchants will offer discounts on candles at the time of Diwali, and this could even be a good time to get crafty, making and decorating candles yourself with your children and decorating your home with them. This will not only save you lots of money on your electricity bill, but will also add a more traditional feel to the festival.
One of the most popular and widely celebrated festivals in India, Durga Puja is also likely to be a time when you can make great savings. One of the main things you can save on at this time is clothing. As many people flock to buy new clothes for each day of Durga Puja, merchants see this as their chance to gain a lot of customers, and offer discounts on lots of well-branded clothes. If your local stores don't seem to be offering discounts, you can check for discount vouchers online at websites like Coupon Raja to see what money you could save on your celebrations.
This is another festival where children might like to show their creative side. As they see lots of Durga Puja statues being created and paraded through the streets, they might find inspiration to have a go at creating a small statue their own. Merchants may offer discounts on things like clay and paints at this time of year to allow children to be creative, and this can be a great way of nurturing your child's creativity without having to spend too much money.
There are many more festivals throughout the year which will bring opportunities for saving money, and when you've got a busy family to look after, every bit of money you save counts. Whenever a festival or celebration is approaching that you need to prepare for, be sure to check for discount vouchers and codes beforehand, as you never know what you could save on gifts, decorations, food and more.
Holi is also the best festival for online shopping. It gives more discount on clothing and gift items.
It is not true.If u wish to shop online you can do it any time.
Holi and Diwali are best time to shop online as you can get maximum discounts on every type of products.
Diwali is the best festival for online shopping. It gives more discount then any other festival season.
I think that the clearance sale offered by the online portals is also one of the best time to shop the products as we can avail huge discounts at this time.
Some of the websites also offers the clearance sales. it is also a good time to shop for the products as you can avail good discounts.
True, festivals in India are the best time to go shopping, offline and online both.
Online shopping, though, is evolving in India. People do a lot of research online and then go ahead and do their shopping in one go when they are ready. To help these phenomena, we have launced www.sweetcouch.com, India's first window shopping place online, where we have enlisted all online stores in India, small or big, with their great handpicked products.
I believe its during the sale period when you get good discount from various shopping portals.
Great article, with amazing sound. Online shopping is really amazing way to choose own wish products.
I love shopping all the time but yes festivals makes everyone and me too to shop more.
Online shopping is much easier way to shop without going out but also with huge festivals discounts.
I always wait to festivals because that time i got huge discounts.
Correctly said Ram! India is a land of festivals, cultures and rituals. From the start of October till the end of November, it is the time when entire country is tinged in colors of celebrations, enthusiasm and devotion. As a result these are the special seasons when automatically sales and shopping online increases.
Nice time to shop, although I still wish we had some Black Friday sort of a thing here as well !!


One of the main events that we look forward to do as a family every year is to go on vacation. We love to go and visit places around the world and experience new things. One of the places we would like to go someday is North Carolina's Outer Banks. I heard that Outer Banks offer more than 120 miles of beautiful beaches that the whole world hasn't discovered yet. My family would love to stay in one of Carolina Designs vacation rental homes. Carolina Designs Outer Banks vacation homes are in Corolla, Duck, Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head & Southern Shores.
This very private refuge in one of Duck's quietest neighborhoods offers a view of the ocean, a lovely outdoor pool area with volleyball, two master suites, and lower level game room/sports bar.
Sana manalo tayo para makapag vacation tayo ng sabay and eyeball lol..

Dairy farmers beginning to get the message on pollution
Thursday, 17 March 2011, 1:13 pm
Press Release: New Zealand Government
Minister of Agriculture
17 March 2011	Media Statement
Agriculture Minister David Carter says dairy farmers are slowly taking heed of his challenge to lift their game when it comes to pollution
Following today's release of the annual Dairying and Clean Streams Accord Snapshot of Progress, Mr Carter says that while progress could be faster, the message is gradually getting through to those farmers who have struggled with effluent compliance, and are now looking to their industry bodies and regional councils for support
"For example, in Canterbury, the 'Check it, fix it, get it right' initiative has been working to provide information and advice to farmers on adopting good effluent management practices.
"In the 2009/10 dairy season, 59 percent of Canterbury dairy farms were fully compliant with their dairy-shed effluent discharge conditions, up from 43 percent in the previous season. Significant non-compliance fell to 8 percent from 19 percent in the previous season.
"This initiative is now being rolled out throughout the North Island, and Southland.
The 2009/10 Snapshot shows progress has been made on four of the five targets set by the Accord.
Mr Carter also notes that Fonterra's Every Farm Every Year checks of effluent management expects to have about 1000 farms on remedial plans by the end of the current dairy season.
"It's encouraging that many of those farmers did not wait to be checked, but got in touch with the co-operative to ask for the plan.
"While it can't be directly attributed to those initiatives, Environment Waikato has reported that significant non-compliance has more than halved in the season-to-date, with just 11 percent of farmers in serious breach of regional planning rules."
"There is now a good deal of education, training and technological innovation underway in the dairy sector, all aimed at maintaining productivity while reducing environmental impact," says Mr Carter.

Liner Notes - Nick of Time DVD - A
« Back to Albums
Nick Of Time DVD-A
dvd-nick-of-time.jpg
Produced by Bonnie Raitt and Annie Heller-Gutwillig
Mixed for Surround Sound by Ed Cherney
Original Album Produced by Don Was
Original Album Recorded and Mixed by Ed Cherney
Catalog info: 72435-99316-9-2
It's not often that an artist makes the album of her lifetime almost two decades into a legendary career. But for Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Bonnie Raitt, that's exactly what happened with 1989's Nick of Time. After building a loyal audience in the '70s and '80s through tireless touring and nine critically acclaimed records, Raitt teamed up with a new label (Capitol Records, home of the Beatles and Frank Sinatra) and a new producer (Don Was, who has since worked with the likes of Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones).
The result was Nick of Time, an album that gave voice to a rarely-heard adult female sensibility, and perfectly married Raitt's blues roots to a sound encompassing rock, pop, and R&B that managed to be both sophisticated and funky. The title song in particular marked a breakthrough for Raitt; "I was touched by a friend's dilemma, running out of time to have a child," she says, "and the whole subject of aging hadn't really been written about in pop songs." The bold new direction of Nick of Time opened the door to a whole new fan base for Raitt— the New York Times called the song "the artistic peak in a career of unusual integrity," and it remains a radio staple to this day. "In many ways," she says, "this song changed my life."
From first listen, it was apparent that Nick of Time was something special, but when it won three trophies at 1990's Grammy awards - for Album of the Year, Best Female Rock Vocal, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance - it turned into a phenomenon. Within weeks after the awards, the album shot to Number One on the Billboard charts, and went on to sell more than five million copies, establishing Bonnie Raitt as the superstar her fans always knew she deserved to be. Now, for the first time, Nick of Time has been remixed for Surround Sound and released on DVD-Audio, adding new sonic richness to this modern classic. -- Alan Light

SUArt Galleries 'Run and Tell That!' opening reception Nov. 11
Wednesday, November 10, 2010, By News Staff
The Syracuse University Art Galleries is holding an open reception and panel discussion for its exhibition "Run and Tell That! New Work from New York." A moderated panel discussion with the artists in the exhibition will take place Thursday, Nov. 11, from 3-5 p.m. in Shemin Auditorium of the Shaffer Art Building, adjacent to the SUArt Galleries. Topics will include the figure in contemporary painting, strategies for engaging the viewer, and choices between making abstract or representational imagery. A gallery reception will follow from 5-7 p.m in SUArt Galleries in the Shaffer Art Building.
"Run and Tell That! New Work from New York" presents recent and new work by 21 young New York City artists. Included in the exhibition's wide array of media are several installation pieces created specifically for the SUArt Galleries. Co-curated by SU alumnus Eric Gleason '05, sales director at Marlborough Chelsea, and David Prince, associate director at the SUArt Galleries, the show illustrates conceptual and aesthetic trends in contemporary art.
Artists include Kamrooz Aram, Steven Charles, Inka Essenhigh, Aaron Johnson, Liz Markus, Tom Sanford, Ryan Schneider and Aya Uekawa, who use personal experience, art history, abstraction and social commentary to keep the medium fresh and relevant. Sculpture pieces are designed by Robert Lazzarini, Diana Al-Hadid, Will Ryman and Ethan Greenbaum.

My home is in San Diego, California. However, I'm able to travel for weddings all over Southern and Northern California as well as anywhere else in the US and overseas.
I don't like to label myself as one genera, but if necessary a journalistic, editorial wedding photographer. The reality is that I am a story teller and I will document your wedding moments as they happen while remaining non-intrusive. I will implant a variety of styles as the day goes by, to capture the essence and the emotion of those moments. This allows me to shoot photographs that are tailored to each moment and detail of every each single wedding.
I really love your work! What is required for booking?
To reserve a date, I simply require a signed contract (that can be done online) and a retainer payment. Wedding collections can also be upgraded to include additional coverage or products at any point after the date is reserved.
While every wedding is different, a typical wedding client receives anywhere between 600 - 900+ images for their wedding day coverage.
Yes, absolutely! Every image you get will be edited. The type of editing that I offer to every client includes color correction, exposure adjustment, skin softening with all basic photoshop corrections to give your photos the best quality.
How far in advance should I book my wedding day?
I typically get inquiries for wedding photography about a year or more from the scheduled date. However, it can vary depending upon the couple and my schedule. If I am needed as soon as the following week and I am available, I'm happy to photograph your wedding.
Can we post our images on Social Media?
Absolutely! I encourage that you do! I only ask that you kindly credit Victor Villodre Photography so that your friends and family know where to find me.
Do we own the copyright of the images?
There is a much misunderstood regarding image copyrights. The answer to that question is very simple, no you don't own them. Victor Villodre Photography will always be the sole owner of the copyright of the images. However, with your collection a copyright release is included which means you are given the rights for your personal use to print and share your photographs as much as you would like.
When do we get our proofs and/or photos back from the wedding?
Your photos will be available for viewing no later than 6 weeks after your wedding date. Depending on the season, most of the time I am able to get them to you well in advance of that time frame.
Yes we do. We work with an amazing company based in the US that specializes in high end, handmade flash-mount books. We work together throughout the wedding album design process to insure that your final book is of the highest quality.
Do you photograph in both black & white and color?
We take all our shots in color then convert select photographs to black and white after the wedding day. This is a better way to give me full control in the digital dark room. I use a customized black and white conversion that we created, which gives our B&W photographs a very unique look and feel.
When should I schedule my engagement session?
Engagement sessions are typically booked 6 to 9 months before your wedding date, but it varies depending on the couple and their schedule. Of course, this is just a rough guideline and the season or overall feel you want generally is most important.
A typical engagement session lasts anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half and there is no limit for outfit changes or number of photos.
How can my friends, family and I see the wedding, bridal or engagement photos?
As a part of my service, I post all images onto a online gallery for your review. You, your friends and family can view these photos as well as place an order if they so desire with a password I will provide you with.
Are the images we receive in our digital gallery high resolution?
Yes! Also you can download social media size, which is perfect to share your wedding pics with the best quality possible.
Can we print our own images?
For sure you can! You are more than welcome to print your own images. Just be aware that most printing services typically are not calibrated to represent the true colors which can throw off the colors drastically on the print. In order to get accurate colors and the best quality photos, I recommend printing your images through my professional printing lab. It's super easy and accessible to you right through your online gallery.
What happens if the weather is bad for our engagement session?
If there is a good chance of rain or the weather is just crazy, we will reschedule for the next available date that works for both of our schedules. No fees are charged for rescheduling your engagement session.
My venue requires photographers to have proof of insurance, do you have any?
This is a great question! Yes, I do carry liability insurance for my wedding business.

Q: Unable to load environment variables from file over ssh I running following command:
ssh -i ${SSH_KEY_PATH} ${SSH_SERVER_URI} "export $(grep -v '^#' /home/ubuntu/code/.env.prod | xargs -d '\n') && aws ecr get-login --region eu-central-1"

and getting following error:
Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure".

Looks like env variables are not accessible. How to load then so that I can login to aws via AWS CLI?

A: Why It Broke
When you put $(...) inside a double-quoted string, it's run while that string is being evaluated, which is before ssh starts. Consequently, the grep command runs on your local machine, which presumably doesn't have the file in question (or at least, doesn't have the same contents as the remote copy).
How To Avoid The Problem
You don't need $(...) or xargs or export at all. Use set -a to make all variables be automatically exported, then source your file, with set +a used to turn auto-export back off when done:
ssh -i "$SSH_KEY_PATH" "$SSH_SERVER_URI" \
  'set -a; . /home/ubuntu/code/.env.prod; aws ecr get-login --region eu-central-1'

Supporting displaced people through art making and art therapy
Established in 2006, Art Refuge UK is a small, robust charity that works through art and art therapy with people who have been displaced due to political or religious persecution, armed conflict, trafficking, natural disaster and/or poverty.
Our team of artists and art therapists is equipped to deliver dynamic, culturally relevant and responsive programmes in a wide range of contexts across the UK, Europe and internationally, with a longstanding history in South Asia. We are skilled at adapting our work to support safe and imaginative spaces for refugees, including unaccompanied minors, both in transit and once they have reached a final destination.
Art Refuge UK's core ethos is based upon a participatory and collaborative practice informed by decades of individual and collective experience and skills in the visual arts, art therapy, trauma work and psychosocial approaches. Always working in close partnership with local and international government and non-governmental organisations, our work largely takes place through groups and we currently operate in London, Bristol and on the France-UK border at Calais.
We engage in public discourse through our active use of social media as an advocacy platform as well as a place to celebrate people's creative agency; fundraising events; exhibitions; peer-reviewed and other academic writing, presentation of papers at conferences and delivery of arts-based psychosocial training programmes in the UK, Europe and internationally.
Our work is underpinned by a strong team of Trustees with expertise in art therapy, asylum law, social work with unaccompanied minors, fundraising and communications.

❶Even they can help you with the resumes and CVs. What makes Ultius better than competing writing companies is our dependable service for each client.
Are you anxious that the computer assignment help Australia will rip-off your money by providing you with a plagiarized paper which will drop your grades to a maximum level? They offer discounts and coupons too.
But, why should even bother? The quality is not up to the mark. After getting the plagiarized and poorly formatted copy, we decided to contact the customer. First, we tried the online chat.
We found a customer support guy apparently. But he seemed like a rookie. So, Academized got a big minus point from us because of such unprofessional behavior. Finally, we decided to call their hotline number. We got the same vague replies that got us nowhere. A lot of school students seek to get their academic writings done by an assignment or paper writing services. There are lots of reasons behind it, we will not take your attention towards that. Rather we will simply review StudyBay.
We tested this service ourselves and we will review the company based on the service we got. So, we could only share with you our experience. The decision whether you will choose them or not is entirely up to you and you alone! StudyBay is a huge company offering lots of services. You could get the essay writing services, resume writing, research paper, dissertation, coursework related solutions, case study analysis and thesis writing.
But are they qualified enough to serve the students? In search of the answer to this question, we did our research first. Astonishingly, we found mostly negative StudyBay reviews. Students complained of their essays not good enough. In fact, they warned everyone to even try them. But what made them so angry with the company? But they cannot write you complex tasks like writing dissertation or research papers.
We got really amazed when we saw their price list. It was way less than what other companies offered. Even we wondered ourselves, how could StudyBay writers offer such low price? So, that raised a question. Moreover, they have claimed to send such article within 4 hours! The fact is they will not send the article within 4 hours. They even offer plagiarism free writing. When we got the article from them, we saw all the writings were copied from various sources.
Again, they claim that they have a money-back guarantee. When informed them about the plagiarized content they just simply ignored us. StudyBay offers some discounts.
Depending on your order they offer you discounts. Not only discounts they will even give you various bonuses. So, considering the low price, discounts, and bonuses, StudyBayis a good option.
If you get a plagiarized poor quality writing, you cannot use them for submission. We are very disheartened to let you know that, their customer support is one of the worst customers supports you will ever see.
Although they have the live chat, support mail service, and hotline number, their customer managers will only want to take your money. They will lure you to spend your money. But once you place the order, they simply disappear. We were not satisfied with the research article that we ordered.
So, we decided to get the money back as they offered a money back guarantee. On our journey to search the best writing services, today, we will review DissertationBoss. Before we jump on to the total review, we would like to tell you something very important. The review we are giving you is based on the service we received from them.
It is very much possible that we were unlucky and got a bad writer. You might even get a great writer from them have a good experience along the road. We checked all the features gave out our review on them. DissertationBoss company mainly boasts of their wide range of services.
From long pieces of essays to the regular assignments, they offer every kind of support. Unfortunately, we witnessed kind of exactly the opposite. When we got the essay, we got disappointed at the first glance. The formatting was a complete haphazard. But instead, we saw him using multiple fonts.
It was a big disaster. Also, they will submit it in 5 days. Moreover, they will not even do the urgent jobs. Like if you need an essay within 24 hours, Dissertation Boss can not help you out on the case.
So, their pricing policy is a bit shady. We tried to inquire details about their pricing policy and asked the customer support. They also avoided the topic. Although they claim that their services are highly affordable, we think otherwise. Most of the contents were taken from other research papers available.
Just went through articles and copied the texts from there. Even all the other DissertationBoss reviews suggested not to go for them. We were extremely shocked by the poor quality paper that we received. We decided to contact the customer support and ask for a refund. The website has a live chat option.
The customer support manager seemed really eager at first. But when we mentioned that we already got the paper and we want a refund, he just stopped giving replies. Then we tried the hotline number of Dissertation Boss. We witnessed the same thing here too. He just told us that he would get back but never did. If you are interested in knowing more about the Edubirdie. Unlike services who will accept your order and do everything for you, Edubirdie lets you place an order and only assigns it when you choose your writer.
This is why such companies have prices from the lowest to the highest — the inexperienced writers seem to bid with extremely low prices to make you want to choose them. This seems like an advantage, but choosing one of those writers is definitely not a good idea. Edu birdy has no discounts or special features to offer.
Customers cannot really see this as a disadvantage since they can choose from ridiculously low to ridiculously high prices, but it still is a disadvantage. Not being able to offer discounts to regular customers is a high price to pay for a writing service, since such discounts are what keeps customers loyal in the first place. Regardless, the choice of different prices makes a great alternative if the paper quality is satisfactory.
From our findings for this Thesisrush review, we learned that this particular service really rushes the orders. As a result, they enjoy a rather negative reputation from their customers who mostly complain of errors in writing and bad instructions-paper fit.
Thesis Rush only offers thesis writing, so this is definitely a company with a limited services offer. If the paper quality here was great as we expected, this would not be an issue for those who need a thesis.
This cleared up the pricing table, but also made the prices seem much higher considering that they apply to not only thesis writing, but essay and article writing, too.

So, here it is- my final goodbye to CEU. If you don't think you know me, you've probably at least seen me around in the residence halls, taking your order at the cafeteria or the Golden Grille, or hunting down a story for the newspaper. I do a lot, but back to the basics.
It's funny how life can come at you from behind. Honestly, a year ago I was aching to get out of here – Price, CEU, Utah, the whole bit. Not that I'm unprepared for the great wide open, but when I pack up my things and make the final drive through the spring-tinged canyon, I will definitely spend some time looking out my rear window.
When I first arrived in Carbon County, Price was a conundrum. I was caught between the exquisite beauty of the landscape and my longing for the big (or just a bigger) city. I had never lived in a town where Walmart wasn't open 24/7 and where most venues close before 9 p.m. That aside, my first year wasn't the best freshman year on record and I mostly kept to myself with the excuse "I'm too shy for such and such person or activity." Still, I learned that I loved living in a dorm, despite my hermit tendencies, and that Kundalini Yoga with Tayraa Singh was my favorite thing in the world. Visiting the old folks at Parkdale care center was fun too, with kind old ladies and an old man who joked about being hit by a car and breaking his hip, the reason for his stay at the center, being the highlight.
My sophomore year was when college actually started to be fun! I scored a job as a Resident Assistant (or Advisor, depending on who you ask) in Aaron Jones and the position of editor-in-chief at the good ol' Eagle newspaper, shaking in my boots the first few weeks. I've never chanted "I can do this, I can do this" to myself so many times.
I grew a lot through both positions, despite my apprehension. After doing check-ins, I realized that I couldn't really humiliate myself more, since I had already checked people into their rooms and ran off with their keys and took five minutes to find their hallway lights, so I didn't have much to worry about. After meeting the out-of-this-world cool Eagle staff (and a few familiar faces), I figured they probably would still like me even if I completely sucked as an editor. I was still a little unsure of myself, but I was beginning to enjoy the ride.
Third, get to know Susan and the rest of the Eagle staff. I can't vouch for the kids next year, but generally the newspaper attracts some pretty awesome characters. At any rate, it's not a good idea to make the staff angry because we can find ways back at you that are protected by the constitution, not to be threatening or anything.
Fourth, while the caf may not be the hippest place to hang, the workers are just all-around funny and welcoming people. It's not a bad place to work, either, if I do say so myself. Lastly, being involved on CEUSA, as an ambassador or RA or SUN center leader will make life better, and I can vouch for that. There are very few schools where even a small leadership position can make such an impact and shape what goes on in such a big way.
While it's hard to believe, it's time to say goodbye to a place I've grown to love so much. It's time to hand in my key to my second home, the eagle staff office, and to move my belongings out of AJ for the last time. I don't even feel like the same person, the girl who once laid out near the water fountain, wondering how she landed in a place so different from home. Still, all the unforgettable people, experiences, knowledge and gifts (both internal and external) I've received from this school don't come free. If the ache in my heart and some painful goodbyes are the price I have to pay for a place that's wound its way into my mind and heart, then I'm grateful to pay it.


The inaugural six-nation Kabaddi Masters Dubai will get underway with much fanfare with Union sports minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore unveiling the Trophy in Dubai today.
"Col. Rathore would also be gracing the tournament as the chief guest," an official said here on the eve of the meet getting underway at the Al Wasl Sports Club here from June 22-30.
India are clubbed with Pakistan with new comers Kenya in group A, while group B features Iran, Republic of Korea and Argentina with top two teams making the semifinals.
IKF president Janardan Singh Gehlot said they are looking forward to exploring options for a comprehensive international kabaddi calendar that is active annually, successfully pinning kabaddi across the world map.
"Kabaddi Masters Dubai 2018 is our first step in that direction and will elevate the stature of our sport considerably. We are thankful to the Dubai Sports Council as well as Star India for their strong rile in making this happen," Gehlot said.

Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition hands-on review
Last week brought us the announcement of the Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham and we won't be checking out the limited edition smartphone in person. The unique design developed in collaboration with the contemporary artist was made in just 2,000 units and we were lucky to have one of these in the office.
The official launch is scheduled for December 16th, and the Limited Edition will only be available in Europe.
For the Xiaomi 12T Pro, Daniel Arsham went with his signature "aging" technique to make the green phone look as if it was made of copper and aged outdoors.
The retail box has a matching design and actually contains a more traditional gold-colored smartphone box inside. The smartphone is truly unique and the pictures don't do all of its design justice.
The back panel features different textures for the exposed brass and sculptural elements — it's not just a different color underneath. This definitely adds an extra layer of premium.
Looking beyond the phone, the contents of the retail box are in a similar shade of green — the 120W adapter, the charging cable, even the box itself.
There's a simple plastic transparent protective case, which comes in sharp contrast to the premium feel of the phone itself. However, it does allow you to see the design, so there at least.
Xiaomi 12T Pro Daniel Arsham Edition comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which is comparable to the higher-end version of the mainstream phone. There aren't any differences hardware-wise, as you still get the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and a 120Hz 6.67-inch AMOLED display. You must check out our full review to know all about its performance.
The user interface comes with a unique green theme that matches the design of the back. You get a custom wallpaper and icon set.
MIUI 13, based on Android 12, offers plenty of themes and other ways to customize the design, with some pre-installed and ready to set.
This unique Xiaomi 12T Pro will retail for €899, which is €49 higher than the regular 12/256GB version in any of the other three regular colours. Contemporary art is very polarizing, so people will either find it an incredible bargain or a blatant rip-off. However, Xiaomi only needs 2,000 of its fans to fall into the first group and it will have no trouble finding them. Those should look for the Daniel Arsham Edition in the Xiaomi Store and at Highsnobiety.

T'is the season to put aside the year's trials and tribulations, and feast to our hearts' content – and a Rib-Tastic Christmas at none other than Morganfield's, Home of Sticky Bones!
Available from 12 November 2018 to 3 January 2019, Morganfield's curated selection of mouthwatering festive meats, platters, and decadent drinks and desserts are a feast for the eyes and for the palate.
Morgan's Christmas Feast ($149.90++; serves 4 pax) presents a bountiful plate of festive meats, sweets, and two half-slab Sticky Bones. In addition to Morganfield's signature Hazelnut Sticky Bones, the fruit themed Cranberry Sticky Bones adds a sweet, fruity touch for diners seeking something a little more festive for the season.
Aside from Sticky Bones, diners will also indulge in a substantial selection of Crackling Pork Roast, Gammon Ham, and Sausages. Mexican Grilled Corn, Roasted Cauliflower, and Roasted Pumpkin complete this platter for four, with the classic Cornbread providing a sweet, belly-warming finish.
Personally, the Hazelnut Sticky Bones still wins; the Cranberry rendition yields a slightly rich aftertaste that is best shared with your dining companions. With this much meat going around, the Roasted Cauliflower and Mexican Grilled Corn provided a refreshing reprieve for the palate!
For diners with more substantial appetites, Morganfield's is also whipping up a selection of festive meats to give family or office celebrations that extra oomph. Takeaway orders must be made at least 3 days in advanced for these hefty centrepieces.
Traditionalists will delight in the Roast Beef Ribeye ($189.90++; serves 4-6 pax). The flavourful meat is served medium rare with brown sauce, and expertly sliced into thin, but substantial slices for individual enjoyment.
The Orange Marmalade Glazed Whole Gammon Ham ($149.90++; serves 6-8 pax) is a 3kg (pre-cooked) behemoth slathered with delectable sticky orange marmalade glaze. A sinful savoury and sweet treat indeed.
The real pièce de résistance are the Barbeque Beef Ribs ($89.90++ for half rack, $189.90++ for whole rack). Slow cooked and finished with a glaze of Morganfield's signature Hickory BBQ sauce, this meaty masterpiece is the very definition of the phrase "melt in your mouth. Incredibly tender and intensely flavoured, this was the clear winner at our table, and the first to be finished. Best paired with some Dijon Mustard for that extra kick!
The Crackling Pork Roast ($39.90++ for 1kg, $68.90++ for 2kg) is another sinful addition to Morganfield's Christmas menu with crispy crackling skin, although the fat could be rendered better.
Another comparatively budget friendly option for diners is the Roast Chicken ($35.90++). Stuffed with rosemary, onions, celery, and carrots, the meat was deliciously succulent, with nary a hint of dryness!
Cranberry ham makes an appearance in the appetite whetting Cranberry Ham Salad ($15.90++), an artfully arranged plate of mesclun greens with shaved premium gammon ham. Drizzled with tangy cranberry dressing, this is the perfect salad to get bellies raring for the coming feast!
You can also refresh yourself with the thirst quenching Somersby Summer Punch ($19.90+) and Non-Alcoholic Christmas Fruit Tea ($7.90++ per glass, $18.90++ per pitcher).
Not forgetting the oh so decadent Black Forest Lava Cake ($16.90++), which puts a festive twist on Morganfield's Chocolate Lava Cake with a chocolatey dark cherry filling. So, so, so rich and sinful, you'll be craving seconds if your belly isn't close to bursting from all that meat.
Hi Melissa, where is the Morganfield giveaway ?

GIVE HONOUR WHERE HONOUR IS DUE- The life ...
GIVE HONOUR WHERE HONOUR IS DUE- The life of a former Prime Minister
O.J. Seraphine
(Continuation of excerpts from the to-be-published memoir of Oliver James Seraphin)
OJ was appointed Justice of the Peace (JP) in 1975 and was appointed Director of the Agricultural and Industrial Development (AID) Bank in 1995 under the UWP Administration. He served as Director of the NDC under the Freedom Party administration and then Chairman of the National Development Corporation (NDC) from 1995-2000.
The NDC under the chairmanship of O.J Seraphin gave birth to the World Creole Music Festival in 1996 and the Festival Commission in 1997 which was in direct response to the need expressed by the Hotel Association for an increase in stayover visitors of which the chairman was also PRO and a founder member of the DHTA –Dominica Hotel and Tourism Association.
Interestingly the historians gave the genesis of the Creole Festival to Edmund Toulon who was appointed the first Executive Director of the Festival commission initiated by the Board of the NDC under the chairmanship of O.J Seraphin whilst Stanley Georges was Ag. Manager of the NDC.
The concept originally was to have a Cadence Festival recognizing the music genre of Dominican artists Gordon Henderson Exile One, Ophelia, Jeff of Grammax etc. but a committee was set up by the board to look into the concept and come up with an action plan. Their recommendations for a Creole festival to replace the Cadence festival was more culture encompassing. (More on this in another publication). The Government of the UWP accepted to finance the first and following festivals from 1996.
The success strategy of the NDC as being visionary and very effective was occasioned by the high level of resource capacity as Directors which transcended political subservience. Among members who served and appointed by the government from 1995 were Isaac Baptiste, Winston Warrington an engineer, Athie Martin, Sheridan Gregoire, Michael Pascal an entrepreneur, Proprietor of Cocoa cola Louis Gabriel, Ellsworth Carter –trade union representative, Thomas Baptiste, Janice Armour. Gregoire later upon the removal of Stanley Georges as Ag. GM after Charles Savarin in 2000 was appointed General Manager.
The appointment of former PM Seraphin as Chairman of the NDC under the UWP Administration though ostensibly a past leader of the then opposition Labour Party was an acknowledgment by government that he had been a feature as a Director at the NDC for a prolonged period as the candidate who represented the DHTA but his abilities to manage the affairs of investment and tourism at the board level with a competent group of persons was persuasive.
In 1996 Chinese Bill Cheoung, a millionaire, offered by negotiation with Chairman Seraphin to represent the NDC in Hong Kong with offices for an NDC linked personnel to be at that office and to be paid for by him. This was to seek and find investors and investments from those who anticipated that by 1997 they wished to escape the clutches of the incoming China government over Hong Kong which was British up to that date. That offer would have replaced the efforts of Grace Tonge who simply was an agent appointed by PM Charles to find investment for the Layou River Hotel of which she was a shareholder using the state diplomatic privilege and Diplomatic appointment provided by her as the PM! This offer of this man who agreed to have an extended NDC office in Hong Kong with paid for Dominica NDC representatives in house was disregarded.
The NDC championed the vision of an international airport and in pursuit of this meetings were held in Paris with European financiers with the Chairman who agreed to a 20 year BOT (build operate and transfer). This was coordinated with the very wealthy Ayot family of Guadeloupe who flew in from the Caribbean and the investors who came by train from Germany to meet at the airport leaving same day for discussions on the proposed MOU. This too fell by the wayside due to lack of response from the State.
A negotiated offer of the Chairman –NDC – the former PM, by wealthy Paris eminent Attorney Mr. Chastan who had offices in the Paris Champ D Elizee with an offshore NDC and a secretary paid for by his firm in exchange for an appointment as Honorary Council was not understood or approved.
However, the silent UNESCO office in Paris remains a mysterious elegant very official office with huge and large presence –with an Ambassador not known now to the general public of Dominica from 2000.The role and his function and benefits to Dominica remains obscure.
Efforts by Chairman O.J Seraphin to facilitate a high tech innovative initiative and use Dominica as a Broadband research and application of experiments to have an internet intranet platform at no cost to government but could have facilitated all government's international communications free of charges to experiment with fine tuning the then emerging internet was not seriously responded to.
The very aggressive effort was with Tommy James of Canada –son of former minister Mable Moir James and his associates, a Dominican of the highest eminence at the technological company in Canada (Rockwell). This too went awry without much support by the then government in the late nineties. Today these platforms would have placed Dominica at the forefront of modern internet communication.
An early effort to set up a community of super intellect resources and people in an affluent Silicon Valley style community to explore the facilitation of a smart card which would have had the dynamics of a one stop shop for all commercial and banking activity, then a novel idea and only now becoming in vogue, where the holders will have a card for all and sundry purchase connections and banking through a smart card was in very advanced stages of agreement and development with Dominica as an offshore banking and citizenship.

Q: How to completely disable Nouveau, as other tutorials aren't helping? I'm attempting to install the drivers for my Nvidia GPU by following the steps listed here, but after launching the installer it informs me that I must disable the Nouveau kernel driver before installation can continue (There is also an error message displayed before this stating that the 'distribution-provided pre-install script failed', but from what I've read in other posts it shouldn't be a problem to just continue and ignore it?).
Anyway, I've followed the steps listed here in an attempt to disable the Nouveau driver with no such luck. I've run sudoedit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf and populated the file with the given data and saved it, I've edited a line within the /etc/default/grub file so that it now reads GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nouveau.blacklist=1 nomodset quiet splash", and I've attempted to install the driver from within tty1 by first disabling gdm3 using sudo service gdm3 stop and then using the command sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.69.run. Even after doing all this the same error informing me that Nouveau needs to be disabled appears.
I should mention at this point that I used this method of installing the driver once before a few days ago and it worked. For the life of me I can't remember how I got it to work or why it won't work this time around. Also this is essentially a completely fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS, the only alterations I've made so far are the installation of Chromium, Discord, a couple of extensions and I've made a few UI changes in the Tweak tool.
So, can anyone offer any more advice on how to disable Nouveau? I feel that if I can get this disabled entirely then I'll be able to install the driver without further issue, but until I can figure this out I can't currently continue using my system because the default Nouveau driver causes the UI to freeze without reason or warning sporadically. In fact it crashed while I was typing this out, lucky for me Chromium saved what I'd written.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice!

A: Based on the first link, I am assuming you are using the run file. I recently went through a similar process with my own computer (14.04). According to the instructions from Nvidia, you do the following to disable the nouveau drivers. Note that this does not require any changes to Grub or LightDM.

*

*Create /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf with the content:
blacklist nouveau

*Run: sudo update-initramfs -u

A: *

*ctrl+alt+f1

*Login

*sudo service lightdm stop

*sudo modprobe -r nouveau

*sudo service lightdm start

Commerce forming tech policy agency
By Colleen O'Hara
Technology Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
International Trade Administration
Commerce Department Secretary Donald Evans announced plans Feb. 13 to consolidate the telecommunications and technology policy functions within the department under a new agency.
The agency will consist of the Technology Administration, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, and the e-commerce policy functions of the International Trade Administration.
Phil Bond, the undersecretary for technology at Commerce, would oversee the new agency. It would focus on various issues including technical standards, spectrum management, and technology and e-commerce policy issues. Evans said the restructuring, which will require congressional approval, makes sense. "Convergence is the business model in the digital economy — it should be the business model in the federal government," he said in a statement.
The Information Technology Association of America, which represents many IT vendors that sell to the federal government, praised the proposal. "Issues surrounding the Internet, spectrum and electronic commerce are highly inter-related," and they are global in nature, ITAA President Harris Miller said in a statement.
This restructuring would help IT firms better serve their customers, he said.

Can I Save Money On Life Insurance If I Quit Smoking?
Besides the obvious health and quality of life benefits, quitting smoking is also one of the best ways to save money on life insurance. As anyone who smokes and owns life insurance can attest to, life insurance is extremely expensive for smokers. So expensive, in fact, that it can cost about five times more money for a smoker than a nonsmoker pays, and many people who smoke can not afford proper coverage even though they may need it more than most (because smokers are at a much higher risk of dying at a young age than nonsmokers).
There are two ways that you can save on life insurance after you quit smoking. The first way would be to get a brand new life insurance policy which does not have a smoker health rating included in the price. The second option to save money is to reapply for a new nonsmoker health rating on an existing policy.
The cost of life insurance has been trending downward as people live longer and insurers experience better outcomes than they expected regarding mortality rates (people are living longer than past expectations).
Taking out a new policy allows you to take advantage of the falling cost of life insurance. You may even want to consider adding additional coverage, because extra coverage can be so much more affordable after you quit smoking. To receive price quotes to see if a new policy may save you money, start by simply entering your zip code in our quote comparison toolbox.
A brand new policy may also benefit someone because when a new policy is applied for, you must go through the underwriting process again, including a new medical exam. After quitting smoking, many other health markers used to assign a health rating also improve, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and general fitness levels. By taking out a new policy and going through the underwriting process again, you are allowing yourself to be reevaluated with a higher chance that more indications of good health are taken into account by the insurance company when you are assigned a health rating by them. This leads to lower prices in addition to the cessation of smoking. For other ways to increase your health rating, see here.
The other option for an ex-smoker with an existing life insurance policy is to apply for a health rating increase based upon the fact that you no longer smoke. Most life insurance companies will grant this as long as their basic requirements for the upgrade are met, though they are not obligated to do so.
For some many people, this will not save the most money however. The reason is that many life insurance companies will simply grant a "standard" or "nonsmoker" health rating, which is considerably below the highest levels (and lowest premiums for a policy owner) after the rating is upgraded.
While applying for an improved rating saves money, it often does not save as much money as it would if a new policy was taken out. This is because there is no additional underwriting to upgrade an existing policy besides a statement from the insured person which attests that their smoking has ceased. The life insurance company is not willing to automatically assume that the insured person is otherwise in healthy physical condition, even though they may be.
If you have an existing policy and have quit smoking, please inquire with your company about whether you may qualify for a ratings increase, and what your new cost of insurance will be if it is granted.
While every company may have it's own rules regarding someone who used to smoke, generally an insured person must be smoke free for at least 2 years before they would qualify for consideration for a non-smoker rating. It would be very unusual to see the required length of time to be less than 1 year of being smoke free, and 3 years would be on the longer side of the typical range.
Usually a company will have the same time requirements for someone to be given a nonsmoker rating whether they are applying for a new policy or they are trying to upgrade their health rating on their existing policy, but this does not necessarily have to be the case so it will never hurt to check with your insurer.
If you have quit smoking at least 1 year ago, please review quotes for new policies using our comparison tool. This will help you save the most money on your life insurance premiums.
