Q: Why isn't the User information appending the mysql database using django? I am having issues with a django-ajax project in which whenever I try to register a user, it does not append the user information to the mysql database and instead I get this in the terminal when I run the server:
Not Found: /sign-up/ajax-sign-up
[Time of request] " POST /sign-up/ajax-sign-up HTTP/1.1" 404 2430

Furthermore, I get this error that does not go away on VScode regarding the User class on the forms.py:
Class 'User' has no 'objects' member

I have added the pylint add-on to remove the error assuming is the Class 'User' error is the issue and I have rewriting the views.py but nothing has worked.
Here is my forms.py script:
    from django import forms
    from django.contrib.auth import authenticate
    from django.db.models import F

    path('', views.index),
    path('sign-up/', views.signup),
    path('ajax-sign-up', views.ajaxsignup),
    path('ajax-login', views.ajaxlogin),
]

No matter what I try, I continue to get these errors:
Not Found: /sign-up/ajax-sign-up
[Time of request] " POST /sign-up/ajax-sign-up HTTP/1.1" 404 2430

and User information is not appended to the database. The user information should be updated and I am sure that the I am calling the classes correctly.
I greatly appreciate your time and consideration.

A: I can't understand what you are doing in that Ajax class, but that class doesn't seem to be used anyway; you have AjaxSignup and AjaxLogin instead, which you haven't shown.
But nevertheless, your error doesn't even come from any of this code. As the message clearly says, you are requesting a URL that doesn't exist. You are requesting "/sign-up/ajax-sign-up", but your signup URL is just "/ajax-sign-up".
(And the warning from pylint is just that, a warning; you should ignore it. But, again, you aren't even using User anywhere in the code you have shown.)

As far as I've been involved, all the way back when Sean left, the forum was always a dog pile of insults and accusations.
I wish whoever takes it on, all the luck in the world.
Not only you. We are all being insulted by the exact same pile of shit by the same psychos, whenever we post. Here and elsewhere as well. That is the price of free speech.
What we learned from David - being one of the main reasons we RESPECT him so much - that we should ignore/endure the insults and keep fighting the good fight regardless.
You guys have the means and supporting background to keep this platform up and running. So please do so.
It is the request of a wonderful community that support your family. It is not just for us who wish to preserve our sanity in a mad and maddening world, but it is for the very noble cause David devoted his entire life to.

To be perfectly honest, I see nothing wrong with this forum at all and have never understood why so many have been demanding a new one. Right now we're involved in the fight of our lives, and we shouldn't be squabbling about new forums and old content being restored. It's just petty.
I don't think there ever was a demand for a new forum, in fact I think most of the grumbling has been because of the loss of the old forum which looks like it's going to be replaced by something that isn't as good as what we have now. I can understand why some people would be a bit upset at what has gone on and the loss the old forum. I'm still a bit grumpy about that and I've only got 300 posts here.
This really should have been resolved amongst the staff before being properly communicated with the members instead of the scraps of info here and there leaving everyone confused and leading to miscommunication and frustration. With that being said, I think the accusations being levelled at Gareth are unjustified and unfair and it's easy to do when you're not directly involved and when there's a whole bunch of stressful shit going down. I can understand why Gareth would no longer want to deal with this level of forum negativity, as I too would probably say "fuck this shit, I can do without this".
The hackers (and their backers) must be loving all this as it would appear that they have had a victory. They've managed to nuke a big chunk of forum and get the members to fight amongst themselves. Now hopefully we can defy them and make sure that even though they may have won a battle, they're not going to win the war, if we unite and come back stronger and cut down on the squabbling.

Gareth, you must surely realise that some of the negativity directed towards you is not coming from genuine forum members. I see the baddies and some of them are on this thread. Your mind has been disturbed and you need to take stock and think clearly again. Don't do exactly what the PTB would want you to do. We aren't going to win this without taking some serious shit. How could it be otherwise? Please stick around and don't remove yourself from running this forum or the new forum. We need you. It doesn't matter how long it takes. We can work it all out. Peace.

That's a good point.
We mustn't forget that this forum was actually the victim of a cyber crime. Cracking systems like that is illegal, not to mention deeply unethical.
I took the afternoon off yesterday (a Sunday) and went for some beers with my brother. Something I haven't done for months.
I then got up to very shitty emails from ink about how I was ignoring him but posting on Twitter. I wasn't checking emails as I had taken the afternoon off.
I have since read through all the posts in this forum and the insults for things I've had nothing to do with, and I'm out.

Don't need this. It's a free forum that was provided, and has caused nothing but hassle. I have a million different jobs to juggle and being told "you're not your dad" is not one of them.
The original forum is on a server that our current webmasters can't get access to. We've had a history of dreadful webmasters. Some bad, some I would suggest intentionally bad. And we're picking up the broken bits of china and trying to put them back together.
The original forum will eventually be put back up, but I don't know when that will be because it's not actually me trying to find it. I wouldn't know where to start.
Once again, I'm sorry for the issues.
I am sorry to hear what you are feeling.
As someone posted previously, I do believe there are some who are here to stirr things up still which is nothing new.
As for you've been told that "you are not your dad" which is true but you are one of us and you are doing your bit.
Please don't take it personally, there are many who really appreciate what you have contributed so far. There is no law to say you have to be minding the affairs 24/7 or 8hrs per day.
If you can only afford to log in to check messages once a week to keep things ticking....so be it. We are all free volunteers here and we've got things to do.
Remember, your father went through a kind of initiation, with Wogan, ridiculed in public and came through.
While you could say, I'm not my dad, I don't need this and I am only helping out a bit but we all have trials that comes along in our lives.
If it's not for us, the forum, please rise above it for yourself and for your family because if you don't master this, there will be another opportunity that will come along till you get it.
I know you can do it Gareth, you are strong and balanced.
It's probably not a best time....juggling with work, family issues etc....but when it rains, nothing seems like the best time. I've been there many times.
When there is a storm, you need to use all of your skills to ride through that wave. I worked my way through working all night when everyone is a sound sleep, just so that I can get ahead of my enemy. It's not an easy task if one is already suffering from chronic fatigue but I had to carry on and I am coming through. Thanks to my helpers. As a spiritualist, I would like to remind you that you are not alone especially you are fighting for a good cause. 'Not alone' in a sense that you have family and friends but there are spirit helpers who will guide you.
There are many things you can do right now for yourself and if you need help on this, I can give you a few things (not meditation or going for a walk kind of thing) to make your life easier. Please don't hesitate to message me in private.
Guys, there will be a new moon on 20th. There is still a lot of tug of wars, power struggles but new beginning is coming.
Stay strong everyone.

Unfortunately, it's the ptb who make up the laws and more importantly are in charge of enforcing (or not) whatever laws they want. They have already made it clear that they consider David Icke and his ideas to be dangerous and a threat to public health, so they're not going to be rushing to investigate this crime. We'll just have to take it on the chin and come back stronger. Using David as an example, he's taken many hefty blows and he's still there standing strong. What he could do with imo, is people to stand strong with him and support him. The dickheads attacking Gareth are not helping in that regard.
As cliched as it may sound, it really is time for us to unite because we will need the strength to deal with the shit storm of bollocks that the ptb are busy seeding.

Sorry to hear that. But if the owners of this platform don't believe it is worth keeping a platform alive for those who support their work and cause, then we do have to move on and find another place where our effort is appreciated.
That's what David himself says in many interviews: "No excuses and no playing the victim. Move on."
There does to be a 'let's all leave the forum' movement being orchestrated. I don't like the idea of the new social media thing myself tbh but I also don't want to 'leave'. I'm hoping we can have the choice of both and still keep visiting this forum, I was also hoping against hope that we'd still get all the old forum stuff back, all that knowledge and research, like a fav book you can't read again. I'll remain hopeful though

Totally agree. No point fighting among ourselves.
Hmmm. I don't agree. This place has been a place of sanity for me and others. Yes, there's shills, trolls and everything else you'd expect to gravitate towards David. But also learning, debate fun,argument, friendships - the whole lot.
David frequently references things discussed on the forum so we know he reads it.
I've been a bit under the weather for a while, and pretty much going to bed when I'm not at work - on returning from furlough, my director's been off pretending to be ill with stress, and one of the MD's has left, so I've been doing their workloads as well as my own, and I'm wiped out really, so that's why I've not been around.
I've just read this whole thread, and it makes me sad.
I haven't had an email re the other forum, unless it's gone in my spam, of which I get many and look at none before deleting. But, with no ill feeling meant towards anyone, the new place doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

The social aspect was a webmasters idea and he has spent a while building it. We were hoping that we could build up a community aswell as a forum for debate. We get tonnes of emails daily from people that feel alone and disconnected from friends and family when it comes to their views. They avoid posting on FB about their beliefs as it comes back and they get abused for it etc. They ask if there is a community that we know of. Hence trying to set up something that would assist that.
Unfortunately in the list of things, the forum isn't at the top so when major issues have come up with the site, or ickonic, the forum gets knocked down the list. That's not ideal, and its frustrating for me too, as I'm hassling to get stuff done, and then I get shirty posts and shirty emails about things not being fixed on time.
This bit I fully appreciate and I completely understand and agree. I think I may have hinted at this elsewhere, with Ickonic you were looking to provide an 'alternative' to YouTube, now with the new Social, you're looking to provide an 'alternative' to Facebook et al. This kind of thinking, I absolutely do not disagree with.
I understand that some people won't like the new set up and I understand that they might want to set up their own forum. I would absolutely encourage them to do that. The more places with people talking about what's happening, the better.
This I also completely agree with, and I pretty much said as much in my 'Tips On Preserving Your Own Forum Contributions' topic here.
I've said all along that people with valuable information to be shared should do so in as many places as they can. I added a forum to my own website, not to try and 'rival' or draw people away, but to provide an alternative place for people to post comments and research.
The more that valuable research and information is spread across multiple websites, the harder it is for that information to be shut down.
Some people will be more comfortable with the new 'social' format, others are more comfortable with a 'traditional' bulletin board style format. What's most important is the information itself, and getting it to other people.
"Cross-posting" and sharing is going to be invaluable, and I agree it should be encouraged.

what does it mean the forum dies today?? Does it disappear tonight at 12?
Im not sure how why that happened ? I originally titled it BIG ANNOUNCEMENT SILENCES FORUM which lasted 2/3 days as thread starter before someone re-titled it to
FORUM DIES TODAY I just assumed it was done for /with good intentions .
"forum dies today" Im guessing it relates to the recent issues & announcements .which depending if youve not read from start?? heres my shortened version as i understand it. ...
The expected announcement of forum latest update appeared after recent set backs & delays which lead to further frustrations when more complications meant future expectations mite not be met. But I think its been realised that without proper channels of communication mistakes & misunderstandings can & will occur .........

atm i have no interest in similar forums,
even on DI forum it took time for me to start posting
I have been talking to Dwayne today, and we've decided the best course of action is that we run the two side by side. We will spend tomorrow updating and reopening this particular forum, and it will be run by the current moderators. I will be a silent admin, as for me to walk away, take my dads name off the forum and move servers etc, is a complete data protection horror show. We couldn't just hand over everyone details and so we'd basically just be binning off the forum. While I was a tad cheesed off last night, that would be a complete dick move and I'm not willing to do that.
So this will go back to normal but with updates, and I will simply have a foot in the door should it be required.
Once the new social is glitch and bug free, we'll open that along side it and hopefully they'll work in unison. We don't spend all night in the same pub after all.
No emails and automatic move to the social will happen. It will just be there if people want to use it. I'll let folks know when that is.
People should absolutely join different forums, and set up ones of their own though. I stand by that. More the merrier.
Anyway, we'll have this back open to new members and everything by end of play tomorrow. I just want to be sat at the same desk going over everything so it's not just a phone conversation.
As for the original DIF. We have it and it is on a server. We know which one, but believe it or not, we've not had access to it. I've never been in a position of management or organisation before recently, and things were run in a crazy way at times. I was always reliant on hassling someone else to do something so I could report back, which is where the perception of ignorance has come from. That isn't how it will be from now on in, so touch wood, everything can run a tad more smoothly from now on.
Not fishing for any form of sympathy, but we are a small team, that covers all the different aspects of what my Dad does, and in the last few months, we've been deleted by facebook, YouTube, mail chimp (whole email database deleted by them), Paypal, Vimeo (both Dads and Ickonic), Waterstones, and our two book fulfilment warehouses have refused to continue to stock our books and have given us a months notice to clear out stock. Then there is the hack of the forum, and the week long massive DDOS attacks on both David Icke.com and Ickonic.
These are crazy times and with us trying to fix all these issues, the forum fell into the cracks at times.

Trump Meets with Millennial Saudi Prince
RUSH: Trump just had a little meeting in the White House, the media was in for a while, with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman — MSB — is his name. He is a Millennial. He is radically changing the culture of Saudi Arabia, radically. It may not seem much to you if you're told what he's doing, but it's radical. Even going so far as to publicly say so, anyway, pull back from the radical Wahhabi sect of militant Islam. Mohammad Bin Salman has made it clear that he doesn't want the Saudi Arabia under his rule to have any relationship whatsoever with radical Islamic terror. We'll see as time unfolds.
But the news is filled with stories today that Mohammed bin Salman and Jared Kushner have formed a bromance kind of thing. They're both Millennials. They get along. The paradigm shift in Middle East peace — you know, this is interesting, just as an aside. The paradigm or the framework under which Middle East peace negotiations have always taken place is the Palestinians over here, the Israelis here, and the allegation that the Israelis are a mean bunch of people, don't want the Palestinians to have a decent place to live.
The Palestinians don't have their own state. The Palestinians are just a bunch of trouble-making terrorists. The Palestinians think Israel shouldn't exist and wants to frog march 'em all into the Mediterranean. The Palestinians would like to eliminate the world of all Jews. Neighboring Arab countries and Islamic countries will not themselves absorb the Palestinians and invite them to their countries 'cause they serve a useful purpose there, being anti-Israel.
But slowly and under the radar, Jared Kushner has changed the dynamic of Middle East peace. There was a meeting last week and it didn't get reported in the Drive-Bys. Well, not widely. Jared Kushner and Mohammed bin Salman or his representatives — I think he was there — as well as leaders in Israel and other Middle Eastern countries had a meeting. The Palestinians were invited and didn't show.
The purpose of the meeting was to establish an allied relationship among all these countries against Iran on the verge of nuclearizing Iran. The Palestinians didn't show up. So the whole subject, the whole definition of Middle East peace, at least for the time being has changed, with the great threat to Middle East peace not being Israel versus Palestine, but Iran versus the rest of the region. And it is thought that this new allied relationship — Saudi Arabia, Israel, and other nations in the region aligned against Iran — is new. And it is, that it has been formalized as a group.
So, as I say, that hasn't gotten a whole lot of coverage in the Drive-By Media 'cause they only know one narrative when it comes to Middle East peace and that is the Palestinians. And the Drive-Bys in this country are totally aligned with the Palestinians and anti-Israel and the Israelis. The Israelis in that argument are the equivalent of what they think of conservative Republicans. They're racist, sexists, and they're bigots, and they're rich, and they're wealthy, and they don't like minorities, and they hate the poor.
And the Palestinians are a bunch of displaced, poor what have you. And so they are the victims, and therefore they are the chosen side for the Drive-By Media and the American left and Democrat Party. Now that paradigm shift taking place with Israel and Saudi Arabia and others aligning against Iran is a big deal.

Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi while speaking at an election rally in Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on Sunday, assured protestors demonstrating against the Citizenship Amendment Bill/ National Register of Citizens that Indian Muslims have no reason to panic owing to the new act, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) posted an animated video on their official Twitter handle to further dismiss any kind of confusion on the issue.
The video features two animated Muslim characters, one of whom is asking questions about the CAA/NRC and the other answering those basic questions, in order to remove the fear and confusion regarding the issue. "It's an appeal to all the Muslim brothers and sisters of the country to first understand the Citizenship Amendment Act itself and then explain it to others. Otherwise, political parties that spread lies and confusion will continue to fight us amongst themselves for the selfishness of their vote bank. Avoid rumours and know the truth," the BJP wrote in the post accompanying the video.
One character asks the other, calling him Arif bhai, where he's going, and Arif responds that he is going to join the protests against the CAA/NRC. Arif goes on to say that the central government has brought in the act that will force Muslims to leave India. The other character, seemingly trying to mock him, says "being an educated Muslim and citizen of this country you too got influenced by the lies that the others are spreading? Do you even know what CAA exactly is?" To which Arif responds that under the CAA, people from all religions can stay in India apart from Muslims. The second character asks, 'who is spreading these lies?' and begins explaining that under the CAA, any citizen's citizenship be it Hindu or Muslim will not be taken away, this act is only meant to provide citizenship.
देश के सभी मुसलमान भाई-बहनों से अपील है कि पहले खुद नागरिकता संशोधन अधिनियम को समझें और फिर दूसरों को भी समझाएं।
नहीं तो झूठ और भ्रम फैलाने वाले राजनीतिक दल अपने वोट बैंक के स्वार्थ के लिए हमें आपस में यूँ ही लड़ाते रहेंगे।

The video also displays a map of India following their question-answer session, while trying to explain how the CAA is an effort to ensure peace among all communities and that it's in no way against Indian Muslims. The character trying to explain says, "The CAA seeks to grant citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh if they faced religious persecution there — provided they entered India on or before 31 December 2014."
Then Arif asks why is there no mention of Muslims in the act then? To which the other character answers that all the three countries mentioned in the act Muslim-majority countries, "so who will stop Muslims from following their religion?" Arif seems to agree to that. Then it goes on to display the map and gives out statistics about minority communities in the three countries and how the percentage has decreased with time. "So, where did they go or where will they go?" asks one of the characters. And goes on to say that a "secular country like ours where everyone wants to co-exist peacefully, we should also allow those who faced religious persecution in these countries to live among us, together."
Towards the end of the video, Arif asks what about NRC then under which Indian Muslims will be thrown out? "This is a lie, there has been no official declaration of NRC but when it will be done the rules and regulations will be made in a way that there is no cause for distress to any citizen. Rumours are being spread against the Central government," answers the second character. Arif seems to agree that he shouldn't be scared and says he was going to the protest because of what the opposition parties like the Congress, TMCP, AAP, CPI, CPM, Samajwadi Party and more are saying. Finally, Arif and the other character, in the video accuses the opposition parties of spreading falsehood regarding the CAA and the NRC to provoke the Muslims.

10 Customers Reviews This is the total number of reviews submitted in all languages.
It is now easier than ever to grow shrooms anywhere! This extra small stealth growkit comes with substrate colonized with the unique B+ (be positive) psilocybe cubensis strain, a 'Super Shroom' known for it's versatility, size and strength!
Each of Shayana's all in one growkits contains everything you need to grow your own magic mushrooms without any special knowledge or extra equipment. Just follow a few easy steps and you'll be harvesting your first flush within a few weeks!
STORAGE:All kits have been inoculated with the mycelium of Psilocybe Cubensis and the substrate has started to be colonised. The optimal situation is that the kit is started immediately after receiving it. However, if you really need to wait for some days, you can keep the kit in the fridge for a maximum of 1 month. After that period of time, the growth can be compromised.
Cultivating these beauties was quite easy, eventhough it was my first time. The quide found on this website is all you need and the support if needed is awesome. After listening to some of Terence McKenna's lectures I decided it was of major importance for me to experience this myself. I took around 3 dried gramms, mixed with orange juice and lit up some candles, opened up two tabs with movies (just in case) and listened to Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon. The tingling sensation in my belly after 30 minutes made it clear that this trip would be a huge one. Try to fast for 4-6 hours before you take them, do sports, eat something light (fruits, vegetables), remove all possible interruptions (telefon ect.). I could not posibly describe with words what happened then. I've wittnesed incredible beauty, had no sense of my body or anything, I was everything. No boundries seperated me from my room, there was no time and I understood how life itself is merely an illusion for us to experience. I went completely mad for 2 hours and when I came back it was the most intense feeling of happiness and awe I had ever experienced. Speak out the intend to learn and to grow, the mushroom will do the rest, just trust and have courage.
yeh noticed no reviews yet thought i'd post one, while im trying them.
it took only a few weeks and 5 days to harvest when mushrooms started growing.
It took about two weeks to cultivate these bois.
The first week there wasn't much to see, but around the second week they shooted out of the substrate like insanity. I handled them very gently and made sure to sanitize my hands every time I watered them because you want a sterile environment. Following these simple rules I had several flushes with this little kit and it made enough for one intense trip.
We (a friend, my gf and me) chose a remote place within a big park where I should take about a gram and half of them dried shrooms.
It was like my psyche was thrown into a washing machine. (Yes this IS the best metaphor to describe it! :D) Every human emotion was accelerated up to a level where I went from laughing like a lunatic to crying like a baby and back again in a matter of seconds. As you can guess I also went through some very personal stuff which can be challenging. I also became very angry at one point for no apparent reason, so I screamed it out into the night until I was good again. I can say that I reached a deep level of insight during this trip. I even came to am point where I entered a satori-like state where I was feeling a not unpleasant indifference to the world. When everything was over I felt cleansed and purified from all that crap people weigh themselves down. If you zero in on a very awesome experience you should consider this as a first choice!
ps.: My GF went through her period during the time i harvested the first flush. And because I read it somewhere (maybe on THIS site, idk) I gave er two big shrooms to eat which equals a microdose. Guess what: After half an hour her abdominal pain was completely gone!
So to all ladies who suffer the same conditions: go geddit!

Why do you need a metronome?
Korg MA-1 packs plenty of features. It has swing eighth notes, tap tempo, a headphone jack, adjustable speed, and volume control.
It's both a metronome and a guitar tuner, and it can actually access both features simultaneously, giving it an edge over several other options in the market
Boss DB-90 is also extremely intelligent in the fact that you can program an entire song with various beats and tempo changes in order to help you practice the song
A drummer is arguably the most important part of a band; if his timing is spot on, chances are that of the rest of the band will also be good. If however he's out of sync and is playing with poor timing, the rest of the band will probably mess up and it'd be quite visible for the entire audience. This is why veteran and technically proficient bands always have a reliable drummer, because without one, it'd be impossible to perform accurately. Still, it's easier said than done to keep in time properly, especially being a drummer, considering the level of proficiency and talent it takes to stay in time. This is why a metronome is a drummer's best friend. Whether you're practicing at home, recording in the studio, or even playing live, a metronome is indispensable for a drummer, no matter how good or experienced you think you are.
There are digital metronomes out there that can force you to stay in time if you pay attention closely. But some people find using a digital metronome a bit much of a hassle. Fortunately, technology has gone a long way in that regard, and with smartphones came metronome apps, which is basically you walking around with a metronome on your mobile. But to determine the best metronome or the best metronome apps requires a little digging and a lot of trial and error. We've done that digging for you and will tell you which ones we found to be the best metronome for drummers out there.
There are several factors to consider when buying a metronome to keep your drum beats on time. The first point you need to consider in a metronome is how it is powered. Now, a modern drum metronome will be most likely powered by a battery, which is not a bad thing per se. In comparison to the traditional hand powered mechanical metronomes, a battery powered one serves more function as you can use it at high volumes, as opposed to the mechanical one which can be inaudible if you play loudly. You need to determine what function you need the metronome for: is it high intensity/volume training, in which case get a battery powered one, or a low key one, where a mechanical one that doesn't require a battery would do the trick?
Options are another thing to consider when looking for that best metronome out there. Some come with a variety of options that will be important depending on your level as a drummer and how proficient you are with the instrument. Some metronomes will have several options for beats, others you can program, some metronomes will train you, and there are even a few out there where you could import your own samples for mixing and recording. So it's important to be well aware of your level and which metronome would best suit your needs.
Mountability is another thing you'll want to consider if you're a drummer often performing live in concerts. Plenty of those drummers use an electronic metronome on stage to help them keep a steady beat, and you'll need a metronome that can be mounted on the kit if that's the case. So size and mountability are essential features to consider if you're going to be using a metronome on stage.
After digging deep and reviewing several metronomes, these are the best metronomes for both amateur and professional drummers, as well as metronome apps.
Most musicians will have heard of the Korg MA-1, and most reviews put it as the number one metronome for drummers. The reason why this particular metronome gets high praise is its variety of options and advantages over other ones. For starters, it's small, compact, and quite portable, which is a very important quality in a metronome for a drummer who often tours on the road. You don't want to find yourself stuck with a huge electronic metronome that needs a trunk of a car to hold it; the Korg MA-1 can fit into the palms of your hands and just as easily in your pockets. Its price is also very good, ranging from 20 to 30 dollars.
Though it has a simple design, the Korg MA-1 packs plenty of features. It has swing eighth notes, tap tempo, a headphone jack, adjustable speed, and volume control. Percussionists will also love the Korg's reference pitch option, which would help them tune the timpani, as well as a variety of other instruments too. The one main disadvantage of the Korg MA-1 though is the fact that it is not mountable.
The Korg TM50BK is another electronic metronome that comes with a variety of featu
res. It's both a metronome and a guitar tuner, and it can actually access both features simultaneously, giving it an edge over several other options in the market. This one also has an excellent LCD display, with backlit options, making it quite easy on the eyes and with a better overall display than the MA-1.
The Boss DB-90 is considered to be one of the most advanced and sophisticated metronomes on the market today, for the variety of options it provides. One of the most important feature of the Boss electronic metronome is the fact that it gives you unparalleled ability to control the beats;
there are separate volume controls for different beats, which means you can learn how to play various beats in comparison to one another. If you're more into the composition side of music, there's even the option to add and record your own beats for future usage.
The Boss DB-90 is also extremely intelligent in the fact that you can program an entire song with various beats and tempo changes in order to help you practice the song. The metronome also comes with a built in rhythm coach to help you with your time signatures.
The final verdict in terms of overall functions and options as well as value for money has to be the Korg MA-1, while the Boss DB-90 has far more sophisticated options –– which you might not even need so beware of needlessly buying it –– but it comes at the hefty price of $140.
While metronome applications don't serve as much functions and are not as accurate as a digital one, they do serve their purpose and can very well be used by both amateur and professional drummers alike. Finding the best metronome app however can be a bit challenging, so this is a head start.
This drum metronome app is specifically designed to focus on rhythm and improving a drummer's flow and consistency.
As the name would imply, Tempo is another metronome app geared towards drummers, which features 30 time signature variations and 6 rhythm patterns. More importantly, it's known to help drummers keep a beat and practice their tempo.
This is another free mobile metronome application that comes with a variety of tempo options to help a drummer reach a speed between 10 and 230 BPM.
This is the first question you need to ask yourself as a drummer before buying a drum metronome. The answer to that question will determine what amount of money you need to pay and what options are a must in your metronome. Are you an amateur just looking for something to help you keep a steady time while rocking to your favorite tunes? Or are you a professional drummer that requires a sophisticated metronome for complex tunes and compositions? The answers to those questions will let you know which one you need to buy.

McCulloch, James (1841–1904)
by Samuel Clyde McCulloch
James McCulloch (1841-1904), businessman, was the third brother of William McCulloch. Educated at Douglas Academy, Newton-Stewart, he migrated to Melbourne in 1863 and joined the carrying company named after and directed by William. James worked first in Castlemaine but early in 1865 was sent to Echuca to open a branch of the firm. Although capital and guidance came from the Melbourne headquarters, James's energy, persuasiveness and diplomacy helped him to negotiate contracts with squatters for the carriage of their wool clips. He also acquired a small fleet of riverboats and barges. The company soon commanded most of the forwarding business from stores and offices opposite the wharf. On 27 February 1867 James married Alice Bolton, only daughter of Henry Hopwood.
McCulloch visited Europe in 1873 and then settled in Melbourne to help his brother with the rapidly expanding company. He was a member of the board of directors and played a major role in its success. When business declined in the 1880s, James played a crucial role in attempting a merger with (F. A.) Wright, Heaton & Co. of Sydney and joined their board of directors. After William stepped down as director of his company in 1886, James carried on as the key member and was finally successful in merging with Wright, Heaton & Co. in 1898. The McCulloch Carrying Co. became the Victorian subsidiary, and James remained a director until 1904. He also had large interests in the Colonial Mutual Fire Insurance Co. and the Outtrim Coal Co., serving on their boards.
McCulloch drove into Melbourne each day from his home, Barholm, Oakleigh, where he bred Jersey cattle famous for the quantity and quality of their milk and for butter production. His pedigreed herd began with a bull and seven cows selected for him in 1888 by William in England and said to be the finest ever to leave the country. Three cows calved on the voyage to Melbourne. In 1889 McCulloch first showed his Jerseys in Melbourne and won first prize for a cow in milk. He later won many awards; for example, eight firsts and several other prizes at the Royal Melbourne Show in 1900. Descendants of his stock were scattered throughout Australasia. McCulloch was a member and sometime councillor of the Royal Agricultural Society and in municipal affairs at Oakleigh served as a shire councillor. Predeceased by his wife in 1895, he died on 9 June 1904; they had no children. A staunch member of the Australian Church, his funeral service was conducted by Dr Strong.

ABOUT FRONT EXPERIENCE
My name is Thomas and I love to be surrounded by creativity.
I'm currently doing freelance game development under the Radical Dog banner, and writing for the developer-focused blog.
Previously I have worked as part of small teams, and was Lead Developer at Automation Consultants.
I have a proven track record, as my Flash games have been played upwards of 15 million times.
I have an eye for detail and strive to produce pixel-perfect work.
I have a broad background including HCI and film, and believe in a tight link between elegant code and sharp design.
I graduated my Masters in Computer Science at University College London with a Merit.
I led a Game Development student special interest group, working in Unity/C#.
I think board games are the best thing since sliced bread. Programmers can learn a lot from how Pandemic will kill you with a deck of cards.

Snazzy Tennis
At Automation Consultants, I worked on plugins for Atlassian Jira and Confluence. As Lead Developer, I formalised development practices going forwards including good use of Git, and maintainable code style.
I developed a plugin to automatically assign Jira Service Desk issues to service agents based on who has the least workload. This uses Java servlets to communicate with the Atlassian REST api, and a Javascript front-end.
I also managed the server setup and deployment for another plugin, the 'Approval Macro for Confluence', and worked closely with our other developers on a variety of projects.
At Meta Games Universal, we developed slot games and other applications. It is a small company with a team of only 6, which was exciting as I was able to make a directly visible contribution.
I led the front-end development of a JQuery Mobile web app, for use at ICE 2016. As you can imagine, developing for a conference meant a strict deadline that could not be missed! Luckily, everything went well and our client, OpenBet, were happy to show off our hard work.
This app generated QR codes to give to a bookie on-location, as a conceptual demo as to how a web-app could improve the betting shop experience. In order to finish the work within the 5-week deadline, I pushed to avoid taking shortcuts that would make later design changes take longer.
Much of our work was made in a proprietary program developed in-house, using a pre-processed mix of C#, Actionscript 3, and XML. This has given me excellent practice in diagnosing obscure bugs, and the confidence to tackle literally anything. To illustrate this, here is a picture of me skydiving.
Cities Unlocked
For my Masters dissertation, I worked in a team for Cities Unlocked, a venture to help the blind and visually impaired in conjunction with Microsoft and Guide Dogs UK. My slice of the project involved doing experimental work to ascertain possible directions for a touch-screen UI, given limited or no visual feedback.
Apple has a market-leading system for the visually impaired involving long-presses and multi-taps. The question being asked by Microsoft was if a more efficient, quicker system could be designed using single-action controls (one tap, or one swipe).
My research led to understanding that a strictly faster system was possible, but at the expense of practicality; rather than being a skin to apply over any app, this would work best for a custom-build app for the visually impaired.
As an experiment in blue-sky thinking around HCI, this was a fascinating experiment.
I gained an MSc Computer Science at University College London and graduated with a Merit. The primary language in the taught portions of the course was Java, in which we were assessed in weekly tasks and on a final coursework developing a small desktop application.
Outside of Java, I have also worked with databases, JQuery, PHP, and HTML/CSS. This was also the period in which I ran the Game Development SSIG. Modules in my Masters included:
Architecture & Hardware
Systems Infrastructure & Databases
Entrepreneurship: Theory & Practice
Before this, I did an undergraduate degree in History and Philosophy of Science at UCL, and gained a 2:1.
During my MSc I ran the Game Development special student interest group, and we spent our time learning Unity (C#) and Unreal (C++) for a few stolen hours each week. I taught what I had learned from my work developing Flash, and a small but dedicated group kept it going the entire year.
During this time, I implemented A* pathfinding for the second time (I have previously used it in Flash demos), intending to use this to make a 'responsibility engine' where figures would attend responsibilities and 'make friends' with each other in downtime. I have also done work on a little strategy game, which takes inspiration from Advanced Wars and Chess, being completely deterministic. I have always found game AI hugely interesting, and I hope to pick this up again in the future!
Mousebreaker is a UK-based games portal that has hired me for two separate stints during breaks in my undergraduate degree. I designed and created the games with additional art support from the team.
The Diving Messiah is a launcher game with upgrades, based around a footballer making the longest, worst dive ever. It is mechanically balanced to give the player a degree of control with when to activate "boosts", while still maintaining the luck and chaos that makes the genre fun.
I am particularly proud of the menu. The music plays along with the intro then switches into a seamless loop, while lightning highlights the footballing "messiah". Overdramatic, perhaps, but that was the whole point!
Originally the diving messiah himself was planned to be Luis Suarez, but during the production of this game Neymar made a clown out of himself at the 2013 Confederations Cup. That's part of the appeal of making games quickly - they can be topical!
Intro and menu art was by myself, in-game art was made by Elena Bolado.
Literally Insane Racing was made over the course of 2 months for Mousebreaker. It is a racing game, and very large - 40 cars, 60 races, car customisation, and a campaign that takes 2+ hours to complete. It is the spiritual successor to Slide Racing, and implements the Box2D physics engine.
The cars are very carefully balanced, so that every single car has an event where it will do well. This is achieved through races having entries limited to cars from certain countries, or with different drivetrains and so on. The player is expected to use 15-20 of the cars in their playthrough, meaning that they will end up with a garage personal to them and giving a sense of ownership. Two different players can make genuinely different decisions in their car purchases and what they choose to upgrade, and still progress through the campaign.
According to my analytics, and despite there being no incentive, a percentage of players continued grinding after completing the game to collect every last car. I believe that this demonstrates the power of giving players something to own, in a somewhat Pokemon-esque manner.
The Cutest Massacre is a Smash Bros inspired brawler, in which cute animals bludgeon each other with baseball bats, rocket launchers, and their little paws.
This game has the most complex AI I have developed. All 6 species of animals have different patterns, so that the cat will focus on the player, while the badger will focus on the weakest opponent and so on. There are also times where animals will flee, such as in capture the flag games, or prioritise crates containing weapons. This all interacts with a variable difficulty level, so that as players fight through the campaign the opponents will get tougher.
The game was made in 5 weeks for Mousebreaker. Background art and menus by Elena Bolado and Silvia Bezos.
Fat Footy is a 2v2 football game, developed for Mousebreaker in only 2 weeks. In single-player, the player works with an AI to win matches, while two players could either compete against each other or work together against an AI team.
The football itself uses masking techniques and layered shadows to appear to roll like a 3D ball, while being only standard 2D Flash.
The Man with the Invisible Trousers
'Radical Dog' is the brand I have built for games made independently, with branding rights sold to numerous arcade websites.
The Man with the Invisible Trousers is a puzzle-platformer, with a detective noir theme. It has been my most successful game to date, getting over 5 million views and onto the front page of several large game portals and dozens of smaller ones. (Newgrounds, Kongregate, and Addicting Games to name a few.) The story segments lay clues towards a murderer, with clues and murderer changing each playthrough.
Gameplay centres on a gravity mechanic. The player always falls towards their feet, and can walk up curved walls to change orientation. The difficulty is dynamic, so that if the player solves the puzzles quickly then more difficult levels will be spliced in.
The presentation of this game was a big part of its success. This includes playful touches like the "Don't play" option in the menu, and funny extra conversations when the player loiters around NPCs. I also got help from a fantastic voice actor for the intro and credits, completing the hardboiled detective experience.
The game was made in around 70 hours over 4 weeks. All programming and graphics were my own.
My first full game, Slide Racing, is a racing game with a career mode, 8 tracks, and 8 cars. It slowly but steadily built up over 5 million plays since 2009, which equates to over 140 years of wasted time globally.
Having been unimpressed by other Flash racing games, I set out to make my own. I created an engine with circular collisions, twitchy controls and tough opponents. The game is intentionally hard, and over the course of the 1.5 hour career mode the AI progressively increases in difficulty with neater driving. I believe this was central to the game's success. One thing I learnt from this experience is to not be shy about making a challenging game!
I believe it is important for a developer to evaluate their work and learn from it, both successes and failures. From my first game I took away lessons in handling dialog, clarity in instructions, and the intriging power of semi-secret achievements.
Snazzy Tennis was blasted out in 24 hours of work, as a weekend challenge to implement a Flash version of Tennis for Two, one of the earliest computer games. It is a single-button game that can be played by one or two players, and it did remarkably well for such a small project!
There are three difficulty levels to beat. These are two AIs, one that uses general guesswork based on the current speed and position of the ball, and one that makes attempts to calculate the perfect shot before hitting. The "medium" difficulty AI switches between the other two. In practice, these worked out well; the first and second are very beatable, while the third must be beaten with low, fast shots.
The single-button control will do a light shot with a higher angle on a light tap, while if the player holds for more power the shot will be faster and at a lower angle. Through this, the player can do both safe volleys and powerful slams with only one button. It's pleasingly intuitive, and I have demonstrated the two-player mode with success at UCL's open days.

Down economy stalls plans for tree nursery site
Bexley residents will see some landscaping improvements at a former tree nursery site but shouldn't expect to see any development in the immediate future.
Bexley City Council's zoning and development committee held a public hearing on July 27 to consider the Bexley Tree and Public Garden Commission's recommendation to allow the property owner to move stone columns, iron gates and a hedge into the city right of way at 2364 Caroline Ave.
The city sold the former tree nursery site to developer Jubilee Brice LLC for $350,000 in March 2009. Brice also owns 2376 Caroline Ave.
City council and developers had spent about six years debating what should become of 2.44 acres that once were home to a city-owned tree nursery.
Zoning officer Kathy Rose said the developer filed a landscape plan earlier this year for the property which included stone columns and a iron fence. The property owner now asks for the landscape improvements to be located in the right of way.
"Farther back down the access drive they won't be very visible," Rose said. "The owner would prefer to bring them out to the street."
Rose said the building department asked the tree and public garden commission to take a look at the plans before bringing them to council. The tree commission looked at the plans on July 14, she said.
In March, the property owner asked and was granted permission to demolish two houses on the property. At the same time, the landscape plan also was approved by the building department. To date, the property owner hasn't filed any paperwork with the building department to redevelop the site, Rose said.
The Jubilee Brice LLC partnership represents the interests of Upper Arlington architect, builder and developer L. Rider Brice and Bexley resident Jay Schottenstein, who tried separately on different occasions to purchase the former tree nursery site.
Brice told ThisWeek plans for development have been put on hold and the landscape improvements are being done to make the property more aesthetically pleasing.
"The development has been held up because of the economy," he said.
The ultimate goal is to develop some single-family houses on about six acres on Caroline Avenue, Brice said.

Q: Excited states in Bohr's model of an atom Bohr's third postulate states than an electron can make a transition from one stationary state of lower energy to another of higher energy if the required amount of energy is provided by means of a photon of appropriate energy (required to make the transition).
However does it say anything about why an excited electron will become de-excited? Why will an excited electron eventually come back to the ground state? After all it does have the energy to stay in the particular stationary state of higher energy. And by the definition of a stationary state it won't lose any energy in that state...

A: Spontaneous emission cannot be explained with the Bohr model. QED is needed.
You can read more about spontaneous emission on the wiki page.

A: Well, the relevant postulate in this link is

When an electron moves between stationary states, it is accompanied by the emission or absorption of a photon.    This photon's energy is given by ΔE=hf

Also here, where they are not numbered:

When an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower one, the amount of energy absorbed or emitted is given by the difference of energies associated with the two levels.

So it is a part of the postulates that had to be assumed in order to model the data of the hydrogen spectrum.


This is an event being held in Apedale Country Park and is not organised or associated with the Apedale Heritage Centre. Please direct any queries to the contact details below.
The Newcastle Dales Dash is an annual multi-terrain race across the reclaimed coal mining landscape west of Newcastle-under-Lyme. The route of the race takes in most of Apedale, now a beautiful Community Country Park with woodlands, meadows and pools. The race then takes a turn around Lymedale, once site of the famous Brymbo pit but now a solar panelled business park with wetlands and fishing ponds incorporated.


As with any stationary piece of furniture around your home, cabinets serve the dual purpose of functionality and appearance. Choosing the right brand and style can be challenging but even more so when tasked with deciding to replace or reface your cabinets. While restoring your current cabinets may seem like a good idea at the time, this project is more than it seems and may just be easier to start fresh. To help you make the best decision for you, here are a few tips on when you should replace your kitchen cabinets.
How Long Do Kitchen Cabinets Last?
Depending on the quality of the wood cabinets you purchase, the amount of time they will last will vary. In general, high-quality cabinets can last up to 50 years. This sounds like an incredibly long period of time, but cabinets are in fact one of the longest lasting components of your entire kitchen. If you are going to need to replace other parts of your kitchen soon, it's important to keep this in mind when picking out new cabinets for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Because your cabinets are going to last so long, it is important to pick out cabinets that match your current appliances, as well as appliances you plan to get in the future. In order to prepare for possible future renovations, classic style cabinets make the safest long-term investments.
Here are three signs you should consider replacing your cabinets.
When dealing with a leak, finding the source of water getting into the wood is always the first step. Once located, adequately closing or redirecting the leak will ensure this does not happen again. Next, you'll want to sufficiently dry the cabinet. Once dry, appropriate repairs can be made, if possible. This will include replacing certain parts and bleaching out stains, a process that can take time and money. Before embarking on this task, be sure that the repair is possible.
If the overall function of your cabinets does not live up to your expectations, this is another sign that you may want to fully replace rather than repair. Possible signs your cabinets need improvement include if your cabinets are hard to access and require removing items in order to reach other items tucked in the back, if the cabinets open up and slam into one another, or if the drawers do not open without getting stuck. No matter how aesthetically pleasing your cabinets look refinished, if they do not function efficiently then you may want to start from scratch.
One good thing to check on before refacing your cabinets is the wall attachment being used. Before dishing out money on refinishing or replacing cabinet doors, open your cabinets and feel around the insides. Any sign or dampness, soft walls, or mold are a huge indicator the cabinets should be removed and the project restarted from scratch. Cabinets that suffer from excessive or persistent water damage can become unsturdy and will soon fall apart completely, which is why it's important to inspect your cabinets regularly.
Higher end cabinets can last up to 50 years, but this number is no guarantee. A cabinet's life can vary due to wear and tear from years of use, water damage, and unaddressed neglect. If you value your home, protecting and ensuring the quality of the interior is just as important as having a beautiful exterior. Refacing cabinets can be an easy way to give your kitchen the facelift it needs but it is imperative to thoroughly inspect the pieces beforehand. If you or someone you know are looking to replace cabinets around the home, look no further than the trained professionals at Cabinets Direct USA.

Q:  cannot show after fade out , what's wrong? Why the #hello can fade out but not show anymore?? thanks!
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>JS Bin</title>

Hello World

A: You have to wait until the fadeOut effect is done by providing a callback to it:
$(function() {
    $('#hello').delay(1000).fadeOut('slow', function() {
      $('#hello').show();
    });
});

A: The .show() is getting called before the .fadeOut() has started.
Try this:
$('#hello').delay(1000).fadeOut(function(){
    $('#hello').show();
});

example: http://jsfiddle.net/niklasvh/ZVD6z/

A: In your example the show() function is being called before the fadeOut has finished. If you change it to:
$('#hello').delay(1000).fadeOut(function() { $('#hello').show(); });
Then the hello p element will appear again as soon as the fade out is complete.

A: It can, the problem is that .show() is being called before .fadeOut() due to your delay.
To fix it, try:
$('#hello').delay(1000).fadeOut().show(); //Will reappear immediately

or
$('#hello').delay(1000).fadeOut().delay(1000).show(); //Will reappear after 1 second

A: Use the fadeOut callback to specify the actions to do when the animation is over
$(function() {
    $('#hello').delay(1000).fadeOut(function() {
        $('#hello').show();
    });
});

The NBC News executive shakeup is official as former NBC News president Andrew Lack is returning as Chairman of NBC News and MSNBC, NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke announced Friday.
Lack, who was NBC News President from 1993-2001, will begin in April and report to Burke. His return spells the end of Pat Fili-Krushel's tenure as Chairman, a role she assumed in 2012.
Lack returns to his chief post at a tumultuous time for NBC News. The network's figurehead, Brian Williams, fell from grace in February after it was revealed he exaggerated being on an Iraqi helicopter shot down by RPG fire in 2003. He wasn't on the plane, which formed a media shark tank leaving NBC News no choice but to suspend the anchor for six months without pay.
In 2014, NBC News was panned for its handling of former "Meet the Press" moderator David Gregory's exit. Months of gossip about Gregory's imminent ousting swirled around the show, highlighted by a leak that the network hired a psychologist to figure out why Gregory wasn't connecting with audiences. NBC News disputed the claim, saying they hired a branding consultant.
There are some bright spots Lack can build on. Gregory's successor, Chuck Todd, has lifted "Meet the Press" back to competitive status just in time for the ratings sweet spot presidential campaigns bring.
Todd won total viewers on Sunday, February 22nd; his March 1st broadcast marked the biggest total viewer audience in over a year for the program, since the Sochi Olympics. "Today" is also seeing some momentum, beating "GMA" in the coveted 25-54 demo on occasional days.
I want to let you know about some changes we are making within the NBCUniversal News Group. Andy Lack is returning to the company as Chairman, NBC News and MSNBC. Andy will join our Executive Committee and report directly to me. He will begin in April.
Pat Fili-Krushel, who has been one of my most trusted advisors since she joined NBCUniversal four years ago, will move into a new corporate role on my executive team.
Andy is an accomplished journalist who began his award-winning news career in 1976 at CBS and rose through the newsroom ranks until he joined NBC News as President in 1993. While at NBC, he presided over the News division's unprecedented rise to number one, led by "Today," "Nightly News," "Dateline" and "Meet the Press." In 2001 Andy was promoted to President and COO of NBC, where he was responsible for news, entertainment, TV stations, MSNBC and CNBC. Andy's executive leadership also includes six years as CEO and Chairman of the Bloomberg Media Group, before leaving in September of 2014 to assume his most recent position as CEO of the Broadcasting Board of Governors. Prior to that, he was CEO and Chairman of Sony Music Entertainment.
Andy's experience and familiarity with our company and specifically the news division will be critical to our growth and future success. Deborah Turness, President of NBC News and Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC will both report to Andy. Mark Hoffman, President of CNBC, and Andy will work closely to ensure that where appropriate CNBC will leverage the strength of the News Group portfolio. Mark will continue on the Executive Committee and report to me. All of Pat's other direct reports will report to Andy.
When we created the News Group in 2011, I asked Pat to run it in order to maximize the combined strength of our portfolio as audiences fundamentally change the way they consume news. In that time Pat has helped position the organization for future growth by integrating television and digital, creating innovative partnerships, and modernizing the tools and technology we use to gather and deliver news. As she approaches three years in the role, I have asked Pat to return to my team and work directly with me again as she did before she took on her news responsibilities. I am grateful to Pat for her work and accomplishments at the NBCUniversal News Group and for helping to identify Andy as her successor. I look forward to having her back on the 51st floor.
Please join me in welcoming Andy back to our company and in thanking Pat.

Attention, most GPS directs the federal highway (BRs) through the cities of Itapipoca and Amontada. This path is not the fastest or the shortest, much less the more quiet.
Consider using the CE-085 road, because BR has many holes and truck traffic, but it is the will to follow the path that suits you best.
You will not find cards featuring Icaraí Amontada Icaraizinho or during the beginning of the route, only in the final kms. Go straight towards Jericoacoara, always checking whether it's keeping the EC-085, noting the entry Icaraí Amontada, as the map below.
One option to stop for bathroom and food, is the location of Paraipaba, where we have several small restaurants that work until 20hs generally.
There is no ATM in Icaraí Amontada and should bring cash because not all sites use a credit card.


This is a slightly belated repost from Facebook but we thought it was pertinent and still worth sharing!
Audre Lorde (February 18, 1934 – November 17, 1992) was a black writer, feminist, womanist, lesbian, and civil rights activist. Quote taken from her essay "The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action" in Sister Outside.
Today is an important day to celebrate the achievements and victories of female-identifying folk from all walks of life. Not because they are our mothers, partners, daughters or sisters, but because they are unique individuals. They must be heard. They (as do we all) deserve respect and compassion.
Today should not be about affirming the gender binary and the many prejudices, uncomely 'traditions' and assumptions that have taken up space between the two opposed markers.
Today should be about recognising the diversity and breadth of experience lived by female-identifying folk.
Today should not be about pigeonholing "the female experience".
Today should be about learning from those who have spoken and shared their experience.
Today should be about giving those who have not yet done so an opportunity to try and a platform where they can be heard.
What better way to do so than picking up and reading a book?
P.S Psssst. You could start with the Nasty Women collection published by a fellow start-up – 404Ink. Available here.
