We all know that vacations can help us return refreshed, but the whole idea is that they're a temporary respite. But Crowdtilt is taking the restorative qualities of the vacation to their next logical conclusion.
They're called Hackations, and they work like this. Engineers are allowed to take a week away from the office, to travel anywhere in the world to get their work done faster. The engineer pays for his or her own plane or train tickets, but Crowdtilt covers the rest.
Increase Your Efficiency
"Like everything we do here at Crowdtilt, the hackation came to us through experimentation," says Beshara. The company just went through a major engineering push to launch CrowdtiltOpen, a free-to-license crowfunding platform based on its own technology. The hackation concept came to them as a panacea for stress.
"We were still at 12 people at the time, working in a tiny little converted apartment that was our first office space," he says. "Even with just 12 people, there were already a ton of meetings and other distractions going on. At the time, we had a really serious deadline that we needed to hit. It was a week away, and we knew we needed three engineers to hammer out the last 10% of it."
Ten percent may not sound like much, but Beshara knew that at the current pace it was at least three weeks' worth of work.
"We rented out an Airbnb [apartment] and sent three engineers out of the office to work in it," he continues. "Not only did the project get finished, but they actually came back energized. They got to do what they love doing–which is writing software–and they got to do it 12 hours a day with no distractions. This was before we formalized the concept of a hackation, but the idea started right there."
"The aim was to build a whole new API, complete with new interface," says Will Wolf, Crowdtilt's newly promoted director of technology. "We thought it was pretty ambitious. We felt that it was likely to take a minimum of two weeks, probably three. We ended up getting it done in six days."
Costs And Rewards
Nine months later, the so-called "hackations" have been officially added as part of Crowdtilt's business plan. Anyone can apply to take one–and so far the results have been extremely positive.
"Everyone's best work is done when they don't feel that it's work," Beshara says. "In a typical day at Crowdtilt you may be called into three or four different meetings. If your focus is broken up regularly, that can kill a day. If you know you have a meeting in 30 minutes it means that you're no longer focused. Then when you get back to your desk from the meeting, you're distracted by everything you've just discussed. Trying to re-engage and refocus can be extremely draining. Even though it's only a few short meetings out of an entire day, the zone that all of us look to get into [to work effectively] is completely disrupted."
Crowdtilt isn't the only tech company to loosen the strings on its engineers, of course. Google famously created some of its best innovations–including Gmail, AdSense, Google Reader, and Google Talk–by giving engineers 20% of their time each week to pursue passion projects, although it ditched the policy last year.
LinkedIn also has InCubator–a program that gives engineers time away from their regular duties to work on new product ideas. Apple, for its part, has Blue Sky, which allows some workers to spend a couple of weeks working on pet projects; while Microsoft has the Garage, which allows employees to build their own products using Microsoft resources.
While coding away in a deserted beach hut, or overlooking Venice's Grand Canal, seems like a typically flamboyant startup indulgence, Beshara says that from a business perspective it actually proves to be a cost-effective strategy.
"The costs offset themselves remarkably well," he says. "If people are able to knock something up in one week that might have taken three weeks, it's absolutely worth it when you factor in the extra two weeks that a product can be out there in the open earning revenue. We've got an application at the moment to send some engineers to Costa Rica, and once you add up all the costs it's only around $2,400. That's absolutely worth it to be able to accelerate a particular project."
Hackation Guidelines
The hackation does, however, come with a few important guidelines.
"There is a process to the idea, and that's what gives it integrity," Beshara says. "It can't just be a matter of someone not coming into work because they're now working from the beach in Southeast Asia or something like that. The application process is pretty simple: We ask how long it will take someone to complete their work according to the current estimate in-office; where they're planning to go and work if the hackation is approved; and how have they performed on hackations before?"
This last point is the most important.
"When you get back from the hackation, at noon the next day you have to present your work to the company–and it's got to be production ready," Beshara continues. "It has to be tested, finished, and seconds away from being deployed in the product. If you miss that deadline then it's very unlikely that your application will be approved for the next hackation."
New Spaces, New Ideas
A hackation is about more than just a reward for doing good work. New locations can offer up new ways of thinking about certain problems. High tech is full of stories of problems that were solved in new ways because of some outside stimuli. For example, Steve Jobs and Jony Ive came up with the idea for the G4 iMac's elegant appearance while looking at the sunflowers in Jobs's garden.
"Every year I do something wild with the garden, and this time it involved masses of sunflowers, with a sunflower house for the kids," Jobs's wife told biographer Walter Isaacson. "Jony and Steve were riffing on their design problem, then Jony asked, 'What if the screen was separated from the base like a sunflower?'"
A few designs later, and an iconic computer was born. Would Jobs and Ive have come up with the same solution had they been sitting in his office at the Apple Campus in Cupertino? Possibly, but they didn't–it was dreamed up in a garden filled with sunflowers.
"Physical spaces have a massive effect on the output of work," Beshara says. "How loud or quiet is your office? How close are you working next to people? There's a huge amount of work available on this subject, and it's something that has dictated how we design our office space. But I'd also take this a step further and suggest that being outside the office altogether, in a brand-new environment, allows people to think about problems in drastically different ways."
He points to a recent working holiday in Hawaii (his first vacation in two years), during which he was able to take a step back and reevaluate several important strategic decisions for Crowtilt.
"I'd hope that a drastically new location brings with it a drastically new perspective," he says.
Rewriting The Rule Book
There is a degree to which any startup built by young founders–without a whole lot of big business experience behind them–is built on naivete.
"There are a lot of pros and cons being young founders setting up a business," Beshara says. "I had no business company experience whatsoever coming into Crowdtilt. What that means is that as a young founder you can approach starting a company with a pretty clean slate. In our case, there were a few different things that we did, where it didn't even really factor into our thinking that these weren't things that other companies weren't doing. We set out to create our own original, unique culture–based on the things we felt would help our team be as productive as possible."
For a while, Beshara and his cofounder, Khaled Hussein, worried about trying to incorporate all the established rules they could find into their existing company framework. Then they had a revelation.
"We did a lot of things that were by the book, and it was about a year in that we realized, Hey, nobody's ever built a company like this in March 2014 before." Beshara says. "If that's the case, then it's absolutely worth reassessing how things were done before, and whether this still makes sense to apply the same logic going forward."
This is where a concept like the hackation comes in. "Something like that wouldn't have been possible 10, 15, or 20 years ago," Beshara continues. "All of the data and anecdotes about companies built then–when you had to have a CPU tower tied to a desk, when you had to have a massive monitor, when you had to have paired programming, where you were sitting right next to the person you were programming with–are open to questioning. Now you have things like Git, or a MacBook Pro, which is more powerful than almost any CPU tower someone would buy today. You have so many more tools at your disposal for remote working. You really don't have to do things like they were done in the past."
The Merits Of Passion Projects
Like the best product features or technologies, these approaches can't simply be bolted on to an existing company model, but must instead be a part of the company's underlying ethos and philosophy if they're going to be successful in the long run.
"When you're a startup, the only real advantage or core competency that you have over incumbent businesses is speed," Beshara says. "You have to optimize in a way that makes it possible for you to move fast. Going into Crowdtilt our mentality was always about how we can ensure that we can continue to move as fast as possible, and also how we incorporate that idea into the structure of the company."
"From the beginning, that's been a part of the company–whenever we needed to crank out a new feature or a whole new product we can just lock ourselves in a room to churn out code really quickly," says Will Wolf. "We've always tried to eliminate distractions, turn off our phones, not check our email, and just spend a few days focused completely on a project. We've done this since the beginning of the company, without really even thinking about it. It's just what works."
Beshara says that it ties neatly into the company's theme of servant leadership. At Crowdtilt the org chart is, quite literally, printed upside down, with Beshara and cofounder Hussein at the bottom. "It's clear to everyone in the company that their role is not to climb up the ladder, but to serve the greatest number of people and to help them excel at what they do," Beshara says.
The concept of servant-leadership was first coined by business theorist Robert K. Greenleaf in a 1970 essay, entitled "The Servant As Leader."
"The servant-leader is servant first," says Greenleaf, author of Servant Leadership: A Journey Into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness. "It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions."
The concept of servant leadership applies in the case of Crowdtilt's hackations because it is about empowering employees. "It flips around the way we think about problems," Beshara says. "If you were to tell a software engineer that they needed to have something completed within a week it could be a major source of depression or anxiety to them. However, if they come to you and say, 'Hey, this project is scheduled to be finished by mid-April, but I know it could be done by March 18.' Psychologically it completed reverses the roles.
It's them applying to get the work done faster."

Any situation which is made, sometimes for comic effect, sometimes for dramatic effect, to look like another situation — not in the sense that it is mistaken for that other situation by any of the characters, just in the sense that we the audience see the resemblance; the characters do not. Alternatively, it can refer to an ersatz of something more familiar that the audience would immediately recognize in subtext, in order to make it look less Anvilicious, but it doesn't always succeed in fulfilling the latter. The situation doesn't always have to mean anything sexual, however it is the most common use of the trope.
This sort of situation can lead to a Mistaken for Index plot if some other character hears it out of context. May result in Getting Crap Past the Radar if it alludes to something that would normally get censored. Similar to Innocent Innuendo/Visual Innuendo in that each of these tropes attempts to draw suggestive ideas from the audience; however Innocent Innuendo/Visual Innuendo attempt to trick the audience into thinking the situation is different from what it really is, whereas this trope is upfront about the situation and merely draws parallels to those suggestive ideas. Not to be confused with Ironic Echo, which can easily use this trope's title as a Lampshade Hanging.
Sub Tropes include:
Sexual meanings: Did They or Didn't They?, Erotic Eating, Consuming Passion, G-Rated Sex, Double Entendre and its sister trope Lampshaded Double Entendre, Compensating for Something, Phallic Weapon and Visual Innuendo
Political/moral meanings: Fantastic Racism, Space Jews, No Blood for Phlebotinum, A Nazi by Any Other Name, Fictional Political Party, Putting on the Reich, Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?, Rainbow Lens, and Ripped from the Headlines
Drug-related meanings: I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!, Fantastic Drug, Drunk on Milk, High on Catnip, G-Rated Drug, Uncoffee
Birth symbolism: Not Really a Birth Scene
Ending by Ascending: someone going up a staircase into a bright light is reminiscent of a Stairway to Heaven
See also Freud Was Right, which posits that characters can apply this to everything thanks to psychological subtext, and Freudian Slip, when the symbolism reveals what the character is really thinking.

Big Finish Doctor Who Special The Last Adventure: In The Red House, the transformation from Wolverine to proto-human is treated very much like drug-taking: with a sensory rush, some people being unable to deal with it, and others becoming addicted to the sensation. And local law enforcement is looking to stamp the practise out, and hunts down the illegal parties where it takes place.
As the player progresses in The Machine Bride Of Pin Bot, the eponymous Machine makes remarks like "I feel...strange..." and "Yes! Yes!" In some instances, she just out-and-out moans orgasmically.

Find Us Alive is being written and produced during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and it shows in its themes. Its premise—being trapped and having to cope with a new way of living—is especially resonant post-2020. Harley summarizes it neatly:
How did we as a species get so good at turning everything mundane? I mean- look at me. I'm sitting here longing for the days of my previous status quo. You know, the status quo where I worked for a secret shadow-government organization that contains and studies things that literally break every law known to science. That was my normal. For years. It's amazing, the things you can... get used to.

Paranoia is loaded with political and social commentary, but while sticking to themes on the Red Scare does a variation with mutants. All of them are executed upon discovery except for a small few who are forced to wear yellow armbands at all times (black if their uniform is yellow) and not allowed the same privileges or freedoms as the rest of Alpha Complex, which already doesn't have much. Player opinion is out on whether or not this is meant to represent Jewish people or oppressed minorities in general.
Warhammer 40,000:
Descriptions of the biological principles behind Tyranid biomorphs are uncomfortably sexual. Especially the Pyrovore .
Absolutely anything to do with the Dark Eldar. Torturing people to death then eating their souls is essentially their version of sex, and it just gets worse from there. "My playthings break so easily." And on a related matter, absolutely anything to do with Slaanesh.
One of the funnier ones involving the Dark Eldar are the ones among the kabals who secretly trade recordings of Wyches in the arena, as certain named ones are far more popular than others. While the Wyches fight purely gladiatorial combat, they must remain graceful and beautiful, and those who watch the recordings get an almost euphoric reaction to them. In other words, they're secretly trading bootleg sex tapes! (And since the gladiatorial fights are usually to the death, bootleg snuff tapes!)
A non-sexual example of this trope: The Imperium's citizens are encouraged by the official state religion, the Ministorum, to hate, fear, and persecute psykers, even though the Imperium could not function at all without themnote If you're wondering how they function despite killing a crucial populace, they break the metaphor for an answer: a portion of psykers who would otherwise be executed are given to the Black Ships as part of a federal tithe. We should also mention the entire Imperium, under that same state religion, worships a psyker. Note that for the most part this is entirely justified: untrained psykers fall to Chaos even faster than regular humans, as their powers make daemonic invasions much easier.
Slaanesh, hermaphroditic god(dess) of hedonism, is one giant drug abuse metaphor. Seriously, his/her worshipers give us too many examples to choose from.
In one of the Werewolf: The Apocalypse tie-in novels, the signature characters Albrecht and the Margrave each take out their respective ancestral BFS. Albrecht is pleased to note that his is bigger.
Visual Novels
Amnesia: Later gives the player an option to ask Kent and Ikki about a competition they had, where they went out to find beetles. Ikki explains that it started when they talked about each having found a huge beetle during their childhoods, arguing about whose beetle was actually larger. Kent says that his beetle was at least 8cms long by eyesight, while Ikki argues that his beetle was as big as his hand, only for the former to point out that the latter was a child at the time. Ikki retorts that he was in sixth grade, so he wasn't a small child anymore. It doesn't get any less innuendo-ridden from there.
In The Eden of Grisaia, having stayed away all night without eating anything, Makina and Michiru instantly fall upon a container of jam and messily devouring it. A similarly hungry and sleep deprived Sachi follows in moments later, asking Amane whether she thinks it sounds like two girls competing to get something a bit more risque in their mouths before continue to try making triple blowjob sound effects.
To make a point about perspective in Ever17, You (which is, incidentally, not a second-person pronoun, but a nickname for the character's incredibly long given name) has Kid try to put a pen back in its cap with one eye closed. This is made all the more amusing by the pair's Unresolved Sexual Tension, along with You being two years older.
To anyone listening to the conversation but not actually seeing what they're doing, it sounds exactly like a porn movie. You is probably aware of that.
This trope is exactly what the authors were aiming for in that scene; the things those two say in that scene are right out of a hentai. Which is a bit ironic considering this is one of those visual novels without any actual H scene.
In a different scene near the beginning of Kid/Coco's route, You attempts to make Kid laugh off his amnesia. If you refuse to do so, she'll resort to... sticking her finger up Sara's nose. Sara proceeds to moan sensually as "she and her senpai become one."
Fate/stay night reveals in its third route, Heaven's Feel, that Sakura is subjected to torture every night in the basement by her adopted grandfather by being violated by the bugs he can create using his powers. Not to mention that her adopted older brother Shinji regularly beats her and rapes her. Then when this is revealed about Sakura and that she's become a vessel for the Holy Grail (which contains Angra Mainyu, who will use her to be "born"), the Sinister Minister Kirei Kotomine refuses to prevent this because he believes all things have the right to exist (and because he wants to destroy the world), which eventually leads to Sakura's boyfriend Shirou fighting him for her.
Monster Prom: Zoe's attempt to live life as a high-school girl is framed as an allegory for a transgender person undergoing transition. She is sometimes identified as Z'Gord by the cultists and other members of the student body, and is exclusively referred to as Z'Gord by Leonard, hateful little bastard that he is. Throughout the game, Zoe repeatedly says that she doesn't want to be known as Z'Gord anymore and just wants to live a normal life. Add on top of that the fact that Zoe's voice actor is non-binary, the parallels are obviously intentional.
Tsukihime: Makes Shiki's killing of Arcueid is somewhat... questionable.
Arcueid: It was your first time and you were that skilled?
Also, during the scene where he stalks her prior to this, he makes several references towards getting excited about "wanting to *** her", and the "long hard object in his pants". After a couple screens of this, it's mentioned that the blanked-out four-letter word is kill, and the object he's talking about is his knife. Then after Arcueid has been killed by Shiki, she chases him down to "make him take responsibility" for his actions. Not helped that the player can have Shiki can rape her in an act of craziness in an alleyway, which later results in Arcueid giving into her vampiric impulses and killing him.

RWBY:
In Volume 4, Sun has never before visited Menagerie so Blake explains the history of the island continent. As a sop to equality, the kingdoms' leaders gave the Faunus an isolated, out-of-the-way continent that is two-thirds desert and therefore only habitable along its coastal regions. This has been used to relocate and confine the Faunus away from other kingdoms, crowding them into limited space and expecting them to disappear from radars of other kingdoms' leaders. Not only is Menagerie an unsubtle reference to the use of Australia as a dumping ground for the undesirables of European and American societies, and the continuing plight of the Aboriginal Australians, but it's even located on the south-eastern portion of Remnant's world map.
In Blake's Volume 5 Character Short, Ilia reveals she was able to attend school in Atlas only by hiding her Faunus heritage. She was able to pass for human and wasn't even allowed to tell her human friends anything about her own family to protect the secret. As a result, she was forced to go along with the Faunus racism her human friends indulged in to avoid suspicion. She tells Blake that she's often asked why she bothers to fight for Faunus rights when she can have an easier life "passing for human". In real life, "passing" is a term that refers to people from disadvantaged groups, such as racial, ethnic, gender or sexual orientation, who pass as another group to escape segregation, discrimination and persecution.

Can you explain "drive them away"? I'm thinking this is more of a side to side movement than a "driving cattle" as is conventionally understood? —- T.D.
Yes, move towards the cows in a zig-zag pattern. You must get closer each pass, even if it's only six inches or so. It does more harm than good to go back and forth in the same spot. It is important to watch the movement of the cattle you are influencing. As you walk to the right you will tend to turn the animal to the left. As soon as you see this happening you must turn back to straighten it out. Don't try to go from one side of the herd to the other, just work back and forth about 4 or 5 steps each way until you get some straight movement going away, then you can widen out the area you are working to feed other cattle to this movement. Moving back and forth puts a lot of pressure on animals to move away, but it is totally non-threatening so they are willing to turn their back to you to move off. This is a pretty big subject to try to answer in an e-mail. The $125 Stockmanship DVD set we sell explains it very well with diagrams and video.

165 All-Male Boards Face Deadline to Diversify
New California law sets gender diversity requirements for companies, and corporate boards, of all sizes.
By Jordyn Holman, Kristen V. Brown & Andrea Vittorio | October 01, 2018 at 03:30 PM
Some 165 California-based publicly traded companies without any female directors will have to find one or more by the end of 2019 under a bill signed by Governor Jerry Brown.
The push to get more women in the boardroom doesn't stop there. The law requires a company with five directors to have at least two female members by 2021. If a board has six or more directors, three will have to be women—a threshold many of the state's giants, including Facebook Inc. and Tesla Inc., don't currently meet.

At the beginning of summer, a new group of strangers became the Des Moines Menace's Women's Premier League Soccer team.
By the end of the season, the team had turned into a family, and the strangers had turned into friends.
For Menace head coach Justin Vorster, this year's sense of comradery has been better than ever before.
Despite a 3-3-2 record, Vorster and his team embraced the challenge of facing a first-year team that dominated during the regular season. The GSI Pride (from Kansas City) swept the region with a perfect 8-0-0 record and clinched the Heartland's playoff spot.
The WPSL season kicked off in Grimes on June 4, when the Menace hosted the Kansas City Courage. Des Moines struck first with Elise White's left-footed finish in the 58th minute, but the lead turned into a deficit in less than 10 minutes later. Ann Marie Jaworski's stoppage-time equalizer (above; Jaworski is No. 11) gifted the Menace a 2-2 tie.
Des Moines' first win of the season came one week later in Indianola. The Menace hosted the Minnesota TwinStars, and goals from Whitney Sharpe and Rebecca Rodgers (2) put Des Moines on top, 3-1.
On June 17-18, a Kansas City road trip ended in Splitsville for the Menace. In a Saturday-Sunday doubleheader, the Meance won 2-0 against the Kansas City Courage and lost 3-0 to the GSI Pride the next day. Goals from Rebecca Rodgers and Jermaine Seoposenwe on Saturday highlighted the weekend.
The road schedule continued with a mid-week matchup in Minnesota on June 21. The second half sparked Des Moines, as Elise White and Rebecca Rodgers netted goals in the 2-0 win.
After a two-week lull in the WPSL schedule, the Menace women hit the road for the final time on July 8. In Chicago, Des Moines led 1-0 after Rebecca Rodgers (7, above) scored her team-best fifth goal of the season. The Red Stars Reserves equalized in the 80th minute, and the Menace walked away with a draw.
In the last weekend of the regular season, the Menace dropped a pair to the region's top teams. Chicago won the rematch 2-0 on July 15 at Valley Stadium, and the GSI Pride dealt the Menace a 4-1 defeat in the last game of the season on July 16 in Urbandale. Jermaine Seoposenwe scored her second goal of the season to avoid the shutout.
Looking into next season, Vorster hopes to keep building the family atmosphere and establishing the team in the community.
Thanks to Vorster, assistant coaches Ross Alexander, Hugo Machedo and Alex Fonseca, their players, the Menace's 2017 intern team, our fans and sponsors and all those whose work behind the scenes contributed to the success of the franchise's sixth season providing the highest level of women's soccer in Iowa.

Tentando apaziguar os conflitos internos entre os amigos de Samuel a turma de playboys liderada por Guzmán, seu irmão, ela acaba se tornando grande amiga de Samuel, que começa a nutrir um interesse amoroso por ela e tenta conquistá-la, atraindo a seu mundo, o que faz com que ela conheça Nano, irmão mais velho de Samuel que também se atrai pela moça, que logo fica dividida entre os dois irmãos sem saber negar a nenhum deles e sempre procurando ajudar ambos. Aparece somente na primeira temporada, quando a personagem é assassinada.

Samuel García

Samuel "Samu" García Domínguez, interpretado por Itzan Escamilla, é um jovem do subúrbio que vive com sua mãe e seu irmão e sempre tenta resolver os problemas de sua família da forma mais correta possível, mas por ser muito bondoso, tímido e até mesmo ingênuo demais, acreditando muito na bondade alheia e tentando salvar a honra de seu irmão encrenqueiro Nano e de seus amigos malandros, o que acaba lhe gerando problemas ainda maiores. Samuel é um dos três novatos bolsistas de Las Encinas juntamente com Nadia e Christian, inicialmente lutando para se encaixar no ambiente conforme é discriminado por sua posição social e por já ter trabalhado de garçom, profissão essa constantemente satirizada por seu inicialmente rival Guzmán, e a rivalidade entre eles se intensifica ainda mais quando Samuel e Marina ficam amigos e começam a se interessar um pelo outro, já que ela o ajuda a se envolver com os demais alunos e fazer novos amigos, além dela sempre tentar ajudá-lo a resolver suas questões pessoais e familiares, mesmo que talvez de forma não muito correta. Em novembro de 2020, Escamilla anunciou sua saída da série após a quarta temporada.

Guzmán Nunier

Guzmán Nunier Osuna, interpretado por Miguel Bernardeau (temporada 1-4), é o irmão mais velho de Marina. Inicialmente era um típico mauricinho que a princípio faz de tudo para que Samuel, Nadia e Christian sejam rejeitados e não tirem proveito de seu tempo no colégio Las Encinas, onde Guzmán se sente popular e poderoso. Sem querer arriscar perder sua posição principalmente para o simpático Samuel, com quem Marina logo se envolve, Guzmán fica ciumento e intrigado, inclusive arranjando briga com este e seus amigos a todo custo. Inicialmente, Guzmán namora Lu, mas quando os dois são flagrados por Nadia numa situação comprometedora no colégio, ele teme que a muçulmana espalhe o que ocorreu (assim acabando com sua reputação) e em consenso com Lu, resolve fazer trabalho com Nadia afim de usá-la, ao que ela não cede ás vontades do playboy inicialmente, já que duvida de seu caráter, mas com o tempo os dois vão se tornando mais próximos e entendem suas diferenças conforme Guzmán vai atiçando o ciúme de sua namorada Lu e perdendo o interesse por ela, e Nadia entende a repulsa do rapaz por pessoas mais humildes e tenta fazê-lo ser mais compreensivo. Apesar de seu inicial mau caráter, Guzmán sabe que tem uma reputação a zelar e tenta ser ao máximo politicamente correto.

Christian Varela

Christian Varela Expósito, interpretado por Miguel Herrán (temporada 1-2), é um jovem humilde juntamente com seus amigos Samuel e Nadia. Christian é mais um novato bolsista que inicialmente é recriminado pelos mais afortunados, mas consegue contornar a situação conforme se mostra desinteressado pelas críticas que supostamente deveriam atingi-lo e é um palhaço nato em sala de aula e outras situações, tirando proveito de tudo à sua maneira malandra de agir, que é constantemente contrariada por Samuel e Nadia, que a princípio se mostram mais politicamente corretos. Ele é o único dos três novatos que tem coragem de peitar Guzmán e qualquer outro que rivalize para com ele e seus amigos, assim, seu modo de vida encrenqueiro de ser acaba se encaixando melhor com Nano e Omar (respectivamente, os irmãos mais velhos de Samuel e Nadia, que ao contrário destes, são certamente desordeiros e encrenqueiros.), com os quais adora sair para beber e usar drogas. Inconsequente, Chris acaba se envolvendo amorosamente com Carla, namorada de Polo, um dos amigos ricos de Guzmán. A situação gera contratempo entre os dois, mas logo, Chris, Polo e Carla acabam se afeiçoando.

Nano possui certa amizade com Omar e Ander, com os quais costuma sair para beber e usar drogas, tendo muitas vezes a companhia também de Christian, que tem perfil desordeiro semelhante ao deles, além de se envolver amorosamente com Marina mesmo sabendo que esta é a paixão de seu irmão Samuel, o que faz a garota ficar sempre dividida entre os dois irmãos: O certinho, correto e inocente Samuel ou o desordeiro, desonesto e arruaceiro Nano.

Polo Benavent
Leopoldo "Polo" Benavent Villada, interpretado por Álvaro Rico (temporada 1-3), é um dos amigos elitizados de Guzmán que inicialmente mostra comportamento arrogante e convencido como o deste, mas depois se mostra um rapaz bastante certinho e passivo, sobretudo com sua namorada Carla, ao permitir que esta se envolva amorosamente com Christian como parte de um plano entre eles que após ser estragado pelo próprio Polo, este começa a se envolver no rolo entre sua namorada e o amante. Ele e Guzmán são melhores amigos desde a infância e aparentemente confiam um no outro, mas tal situação acaba afetando a credibilidade de Polo para com Guzmán e Ander, que também é amigo dos dois.

Filho de um professor de tênis que lhe ensinou em seu esporte desde que Ander era criança, o rapaz logo mostra que nunca se interessou de verdade pelo esporte e sempre foi moldado seguindo os sonhos de seus pais.

Angela Akins and Sergio Garcia.
Sergio Garcia has finally done it.
After a thrilling back-9, going head-to-head with Justin Rose, Garcia won the Masters, his first major, with a birdie putt on the first hole of the playoff. The win came in the 74th major of what has otherwise been a strong career on the golf course.
Off the course, Garcia's life is pretty fabulous too. He is engaged to a golf reporter, loves to play poker, and owns a jet and a race car.
If we consider his winnings on both the PGA Tour and the European Tour, Garcia has now made more than $70 million in his career.
Only five golfers in the history of the game have made more. His main rival, Tiger Woods, is one.
At the Players Championship in 2013, Garcia lost about $1.5 million in winnings when he shot 5-over on the final two holes when he was tied with Tiger Woods for the lead.
Garcia makes about $9 million a year in endorsements, with his largest deal coming from Adidas.
In 2013, the CEO of Adidas stood by Garcia after he made a racially insensitive joke, saying he was going to invite Tiger Woods to dinner and serve him fried chicken. Herbert Hainer called the comment "stupid," but defended maintaining their relationship by calling Garcia "a really good guy."
He once nearly had to buy a fan a diamond when one of his errant shots knocked the diamond out of her ring. They later found the diamond.
Sergio once hired his then girlfriend to be his caddie for a tournament. It was a good move as he won the Thailand Golf Championship ending a yearlong winless drought.
Katharina Boehm is a former college golfer, so she had experience around a golf course.
Garcia has also dated the daughter of Greg Norman, blaming his poor 2009 season on being dumped by her.
He is now engaged to Angela Akins, a Golf Channel reporter, and the pair are getting married this summer.
She was at Augusta National to celebrate the Masters win.
Akins played golf at the University of Texas and now Garcia spends a lot of time in Austin and has become a Longhorns fan.
Garcia is also an avid poker player, often playing in tournaments.
He loves fast cars and reportedly owns a BMW M3 and a Mercedes DTM race car.
Garcia is also a big football fan and is the president of CF Borriol, a third-division club in Spain. Garcia even suited up for one game in 2011, and routinely plays in celebrity charity matches.
He owns a Hawker 4000 business jet, which retails for about $22 million.
It is the second Hawker business jet he has owned. But he almost certainly received a discount as they describe Garcia as an "advocate" for their jets and are a "minor sponsor" of his game.
Garcia owns several houses, including one in Orlando where many pro golfers have residences.
He also owns a house in Spain and one in the ski resort city of Crans-Montana in Switzerland, the home of the Omega European Masters. The former is his main residence.
Despite owning a house in the Swiss mountains, Garcia says he doesn't do much downhill skiing, instead preferring cross-country skiing. He called downhill skiing "too dangerous."
Sergio's best season of golf came in 2002 when he finished in the top 10 at all four majors. On the PGA Tour and European Tours combined, he won two events and made $4 million.
At age 37, his 2017 season will almost certainly be his best yet.
He already has three wins on the two tours combined, matching his career high, and he has already won $5.2 million, which is already the fourth-highest single-season total of his career.
Now check out the players who are also among the highest-paid of all time.

Kurt Pankau Dot Com: 100 Albums: "Automatic For The People" by R.E.M.
100 Albums: "Automatic For The People" by R.E.M.
1991's Out Of Time was R.E.M.'s biggest success after over a decade together, propelled by the mega-hit Losing My Religion, one of the greatest pop songs ever written. The band wanted to get back to their dance-hall, rock-and-roll roots with the follow-up, so they put away the mandolins and started writing.
And when that didn't work out for them, they got the mandolins back out and wrote an album about loss and mourning. According to guitarist Peter Buck, the main inspiration for AftP was just the feeling of turning 30. Perhaps that's why it resonates with so many people. Or perhaps it was just the product of a group of craftsmen hitting their peak--the albums released on either side were also great, and this stretch of their career was their most commercially successful. And it couldn't have hurt that the mid and slower tempo broody-but-oddly-hopeful album fit nicely with the emerging early 90s alternative scene. In an era dominated by Pearl Jam and Nirvana, R.E.M. was something you could listen to with your parents.
AftP is probably best known for Everybody Hurts, a song (and music video) that absolutely revels in its own melancholy before turning wistful in the last twenty seconds or so. It's not the best song--that would probably be Nightswimming--or even the saddest--Sweetness Follows, embedded above--but it was emblematic and cemented the idea of R.E.M. as a "sad" band, a label that would follow them for basically the rest of their careers. And that's kind of a shame, because an overarching theme of AftP is that emotions are tempered and dealt with maturely. As noted above, Everybody Hurts is sad, but it ends on a feeling of positivity and almost whimsy. Sweetness Follows is explicitly about burying family members, but look at the title of that song.
Monty Got A Raw Deal resolves to a chorus of "You don't owe me anything." Raging political rocker Ignoreland admits to the listener "I know that this is vitriol... but I feel better having screamed, don't you?" Even the closer, Find The River, is woven-through with optimism, leaving the album with a final lyric "all of this is coming your way" delivered without even a trace of cynicism.
And I suppose I have to also mention Man On The Moon and Star Me Kitten. Great songs with fantastic titles. If nothing else, R.E.M. knew how to write excellent titles.
There's not a bad or wasted track on this record, and even though it doesn't have the band's best song, it's almost without question their best album (this is a trend you're going to see a lot of over the course of this list, I think).
Further Listening: Out Of Time is largely overshadowed by Losing My Religion, but it's a very good album in its own right, containing love-it-or-hate-it Shiny Happy People and fan-favorite Country Feedback. I'm also a big fan of the album that followed, Monster, wherein R.E.M. were successful in their attempt to write a rock record without mandolins.
The idea of being maudlin about turning 30 was hilarious to me even at 29. It's not like the average life span is still 35.

Q: HTTP Request header issue in Android I am trying to fire an API in which I need to add two headers i.e token and deviceid. Below is my code to add header:
        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(nameValuePairs[0].get(0).getValue().toString());
        nameValuePairs[0].remove(0);

        ResponseHandler<String> res = new BasicResponseHandler();

        // set header

        httpPost.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        httpPost.setHeader("deviceid", "358978060711939");
        httpPost.setHeader("token", "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJHVUlEIjoiYjdlNjZiOWQtMjBjNy00MGI2LTliMzgtOTc3OGQ2OWIwM2E1IiwiRU5USVRZIjoiRUFCTSIsIlVOSVQiOiJVQk0yIiwiUk9MRU5BTUUiOiJTRUxGIiwiSUQiOiIwMDAyMzciLCJBTFRJRCI6IjMzMyIsIlVTRVJfTkFNRSI6IkFuaWwiLCJMT0dJTl9HVUlEX0tFWSI6ImU2NWM2YWEzLTZlNDItNDUyYS1hOGEwLWRlYzRhMGRiNTIxNyIsImlhdCI6MTQ1OTI0ODkyM30.m742d9xd6XlBBjZ3_ODWuoCEdWvSkhPAuNrDee1vi74");

        httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs[0]));
        response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, res);

In Response I am getting: org.apache.http.client.HttpResponseException: Not Found
When I replace token with any alpha numeric value then I am getting response with error message. But when I passed actual token value which is mentioned above I am getting exception. Even I tried with addHeader function also but getting same issue. I am unable to understand how to resolve this error.

A: it's the handler which is causing the error. Don't use.
You should either write your own handler or call execute without a handler.
 httpClient.execute(httpPost);//remove the handler

I hope this is helpful. ThankYou

A: Your token seems to be incorrect. Header set in HTTP protocols has their own restrictions. To check it, just try to send your trim token (ex 30 chars).
If it don't helped, you have incorrect another parameters. Anyway, i would give you advice, to use Retrofit.

Q: Python Installation is Broken on Macbook So I think my Python Framework is completely broken.
I know this because my scripts work on a Windows 10 Machine without any issue, and when I try to check the version of python with which python I get a bad option message. When I try to run any python scripts I get this:

pip 20.0.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)

Furthermore, I recently tried uninstalling and re-installing with brew, whereas before it was working but I was unable to install the fire module through pip. The fix was to uninstall it, and now...I think I have broken the framework just to install one module. My macbook is almost completely useless right now for local pythonic development and it is hindering my workflows.
Okay so since someone down-voted it and didn't provide an explanation I am going to be as verbose as possible.
On my Macbook I try to run a python script that works with my Windows Machine:
PS C:\Users\richard.barrett\Git\Salesforce-CLI\Python\Cases> python -V
Python 3.8.0
PS C:\Users\richard.barrett\Git\Salesforce-CLI\Python\Cases> python .\read_all_handover_cases.py

2  3492261  Technical Case  Othmane Madjoudj  Pending  ...  false  false  false  Sev3 (Normal)

[3 rows x 13 columns]

Which is nice and what I would expect to see as well on my Macbook. However, for some odd reason my Python is not working and it is pointing to an older version on the macbook. I try to run the same script and I get the following:
 richardbarret@1152-MBP  ~/Git/SalesforceCLI/Python/Cases   master ⍟3  python read_all_handover_cases.py                                                ✔  1320  10:35:06

    from urllib.parse import urljoin, urlparse

When I looked up the error it was saying I was running an old version of Python. I reinstalled it via brew, before all of the patch to to work with the python fire module...I had no issues and could run my scripts just fine from within the CLI.
Also, here is the python crash anytime I try to install something with pip:

Though I have always had that issue from before, when I would try to invoke a script that was not marked as executable with python3 some_script_needing_version_3.py.

A: So yeah it was a broken Python Framework.
I understand why people have downvoted it because it is basically saying that I don't have the modules installed. However, I had them installed with Version Python 2.7, which is what a Macbook is shipped with. Every time I would install it with pip it would say requirements already met. However, the apps I am using run on python3.7, and as such yes...I did not have the modules installed for Python3.7. However, every time I would run pip3 or python3 python would crash.
I used Brew to help manage some things.
I had to one clean up some stuff running brew doctor and brew cleanup.
Then I had to fix all of the broken symlinks on my macbook and delete some Libraries that were broken, that were not allowing me to run pip3 or python3 respectively. Furthermore, I had to uninstall openssl via brew and also uninstall cryptography in python, thereby adding the following line to my .zshrc profile.
Add this into your Shell Profile:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
Steps to Fix:
1. Uninstall Openssl and Reinstall it with Brew and Uninstall Cryptography
brew uninstall openssl
brew install openssl
pip uninstall cryptography

*Run Brew Doctor && Brew Cleanup to get a list of broken symlinks and bad directories:

brew doctor
brew cleanup

Delete any bad directories with permission issues if you are not using:
sudo rm -rf /directory/list/bad/from/brew/doctor/

For me, I had a whole list of directories that were bad that I had to remove. I saved them to a file and ran the following against that file. I saved all of the bad directories to a file called doctor.log and then recursively deleted them from my system.
for i in $(cat doctor.log); do sudo rm -rf $i; done

Afterward, I dealt with all of my bad symlinks on the system.
Link any and all bad symlinks after identifying them from the following:
brew doctor check_for_bad_python_symlink
brew doctor check_for_broken_symlinks

Fix them with:
brew link --overwrite <package>

Afterward you should be able to install things with pip3 and run scripts not marked as executable with python3. This fixed my issue and now I can run things with python3. Furthermore, a good way to find this out is to use the following by specifying python and python3 and working with the modules interactively. For some odd reason MacBooks 2020 and less ship with Python2.7 (Known Issue). The only fix is to specify the paths and/or just work with python as an alias.


Athens, Ga. – The University of Georgia's Archway Partnership and College of Environment and Design are celebrating the seventh anniversary of their collaborative relationship with an exhibit and reception Aug. 28 from 4:30-6 p.m. in the main hall of the Jackson Street Building, located at 285 South Jackson St. on UGA's North Campus.
The annual Archway Partnership/CED Summer Internship Exhibit will be on display through Sept. 26. The exhibit will showcase the work and design recommendations of 18 CED graduate and undergraduate students who worked with Archway Partnership communities in Candler, Habersham, Hart, Sumter, Pulaski and Washington counties this summer.
The students worked on landscape designs, planting plans, building renovations, trail design, streetscape design, neighborhood and regional revitalization and master plans for government agencies, civic leaders and community members. Specifically, some examples of projects included signage for entryways, walking trails around downtowns, way finding signage for communities and playgrounds for neighborhoods.
Through this partnership, Archway and CED have worked to extend the university's knowledge and expertise to Georgia counties facing significant issues related to economic and community development. To date, approximately 215 projects have been completed by more than 150 students.
This event is free and open to the public. Parking is available in the North Campus parking deck.
