Woman gets 15 days for throwing cup at Florida congressman
PENSACOLA, Fla. — A woman has been sentenced to 15 days in federal custody for throwing a sports drink at a Florida congressman who frequently appears on television supporting President Donald Trump.
by Canadian PressPENSACOLA, Fla. — A woman has been sentenced to 15 days in federal custody for throwing a sports drink at a Florida congressman who frequently appears on television supporting President Donald Trump.
Federal court records show that 35-year-old Amanda Kondrat'yev was sentenced last Monday in Pensacola. Her confinement is scheduled to begin Dec. 2.
Kondrat'yev pleaded guilty to assault in August. She had faced up to a year in prison.
Authorities say Kondrat'yev was part of a group protesting in June outside a town hall meeting attended by U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz. The second-term Republican was leaving a coffee house when a cup struck him in the back. Several witnesses identified Kondrat'yev as the assailant, and the throw was caught on video.

Speaker(s): Rod Colledge,
Abstract:
In this session, we'll cover new BI features in SQL Server 2012 including Power View, Tabular BISM, Report Alerts and SSRS Integration with SharePoint Server 2010. We'll then focus on the importance of Self-Service BI and how it fits into an overall enterprise Business Intelligence architecture. This session will be rich with demos of all the key BI tools, and will also cover installation and configuration on both new and existing Sharepoint farms. We'll also cover securely extending BI solutions over the internet, touching on Kerberos Delegation and Threat Management Gateway (TMG). Come along and discover the awesome power of the latest release of the Microsoft BI Platform.
Speaker(s): Rod Colledge,
Abstract:
In this session we explore the full potential of the SQL Server Error Log. The error log is painful to sift through at best, so we turn to Business Intelligence to provide us with an insightful 30,000 view of the error log, and will be amazed at what we can see !
Speaker(s): Peter O'Gorman,
Abstract:
Most SQL Server sessions are based around individual features but SQL Server really shines when you start to combine features. In this session, Greg will provide an introduction to ColumnStore indexes, review Table Partitioning and Merge and show how to combine these features to improve query performance while still being able to load data warehouse data quickly.
Speaker(s): Greg Low,
Abstract:
Analysis Service in SQL2012 introduces the Vertipac engine and the tabular model. While the tabular model is delivered through SSAS, the model offers some unique design opportunities for users who would otherwise design a dimensional OLAP solution. This session looks at tabular modelling by comparing it to the multidimensional model. We address some of the advantages, considerations and restrictions of the tabular model and examine how the limitations of the native model can be overcome with DAX (the tabular query language).
Speaker(s): Paul te Braak,
Abstract:
I'm sure you've noticed the similarities between an execution plan and an SSIS Data Flow Task. Of course there are major differences, such as the fact that you write Data Flow Tasks, whereas execution plans are created based on the T-SQL that you pass to the Query Optimizer and other things such as indexes, statistics and constraints. This talk will consider some of the things that SSIS developers look for when creating an effective Data Flow Task, and show you how those same concerns can be considered when writing queries.
Speaker(s): Rob Farley,
Abstract:
Despite being around since SQL Server 2008 MERGE is one of the most underappreciated features in T-SQL. In many ways it's the Swiss Army Knife, able to be used in many different situations. It's not without it's frustrations though, and you'll see both sides of this useful tool in this presentation.
Speaker(s): Rob Farley,
Abstract:
Despite all of the enhancements to the instrumentation in SQL Server, many database professionals still view performance tuning as a dark art. This session will provide database administrators and developers with valuable information on SQL Server performance tuning concepts. This presentation will walk you through proven performance tuning strategies and teach you how to use SQL Server tools to identify a performance bottleneck, isolate the root cause, apply possible resolutions, and then quantify performance improvements.
Speaker(s): Peter Ward,
Abstract:
Discover the power of PivotViewer, the Silverlight control that enables users to visualise large data sets in an extremely effective and tangible way. Quickly filter, sort and see how your data relates to each other in a way that traditional reports cannot. This session will cover what the PivotViewer control is and how to get the most out of it with your own data. Even if you've used PivotViewer before, see what's new in the recent Silverlight 5 version to enable you to make the most out of your collections.
Speaker(s): Roger Noble,
Abstract:
Portability and tempdb collation conflicts are challenges currently faced with traditional databases. SQL Server 2012 introduces a new feature called Contained Databases that overcomes these challenges. This session is an introduction to Contained Databases and will look at the different types of containment; how to create, connect to and manage a contained database; and database portability made easy.
Speaker(s): Heidi Wilson,
Abstract:
In this session, we'll cover how HA DR is currently utlised and some misgivings. We'll then introduce the capabilities of Always On in SQL Server 2012 and how these can benefit your existing solution. This presentation will be rich with demo's covering installation and configuration of your Always On environment.
Speaker(s): Warwick Rudd,
Abstract:
This session will showcase the hidden treasures that are within SQL Server Ring Buffers and how they can be used to troubleshoot SQL Server issues. The session provides a demonstration of how to identify SQL exceptions, connection failures and SQL Server memory issues.
Speaker(s): Rob Risetto,
Abstract:
There are a bunch of new T-SQL functions in SQL Server 2012, and as usual there's a combination of the "this is really useful" and the "...but there's a caveat". In this presentation, Rob will take you through the new analytic functions, show you how they seriously enhance your reporting ability, and show you some of the ways that they don't behave the way you might expect. You may not be using SQL Server 2012 yet, but you're bound to recognise some of the problems that these functions solve.
Speaker(s): Rob Farley,
Abstract:
You are looking at the Bill of Materials for the new shiny server that you are going to purchase for SQL Server and you realise that there is still $10,000 in the hardware budget - how do you spend it? Do you increase the core density, maybe increase the RAM or maybe even look at adding some solid state storage to the storage array. In this session we will explore how some small hardware investments made in the right place can pimp your next SQL Server deployment.

Let's go way back to the very beginning of society. When humans first started out, there weren't very many opportunities for trade. Evidence suggests that early man did a lot of wandering around, and didn't settle into society until fairly recently (on a galactic time-scale anyway). But once humans started to develop societies and grow, trade was possible.
With lots of people in a close enough space, like a village or town, people could learn to specialize in their craft. Potters could improve their pottery, and farmers could improve their agriculture techniques. However pretty quickly, early human societies ran into an issue called the Coincidence of Wants.
Let's say that I make pots, and you grow food. As long as I need food AND you need pots, we have reason to trade. But if you don't need pots anymore, then I am not able to buy any food off you. Wouldn't it be useful if there were a third good that we could use, one where we both agree upon the value?
This is where money comes in. Money is just a third good that doesn't spoil or go out of date, and we all agree has the same value. This makes it a unit of exchange, and a means by which all other goods can be traded.
We often think of gold or silver when it comes to money, but historically, humans have used a lot of weird stuff as money. For a while, we used cows as money. They're somewhat durable, they last for a while, and can be turned into meat or milked. They're also reasonable scarce, an important characteristic of money. Cigarettes are often used as currency in prisons. And when Europeans first found the Americas, alcohol was used as money.
This kind of money is called commodity money because the money itself has a use. To quote Wikipedia:
Commodity money consists of objects that have value in themselves as well as value in their use as money.
A useful attribute of commodity money is that it doesn't require a central authority or government to control it. If civilization in Britain falls apart tomorrow, and the Bank of England collapses, cows will still hold their value. Now, we're not saying that in a post-Brexit world the UK would actually revert to trading in cows rather than pounds. We're just using it as an illustration.
The problem with commodity money is that it limits the potential growth that a society can have. If your society is using cows as a currency, then the amount of money in your society has an upper limit based on the number of cows you can reasonably fit within that society.
Another issue is that commodity money is heavy. The going rate for a Gulfstream G650ER Private Jet is around $66.5 million United States Dollars. If you were to pay for that in gold, you would have to shift 1462KG of the stuff (or 3225lbs). Transactions that size just don't scale very well with commodity money.
A way around this is to give people the ability to exchange their commodity money for an IOU. An IOU (pronounced I owe you) is just a piece of paper with a promise to pay a person an amount of stuff. An IOU doesn't necessarily have to document the repayment of money though.
This method was used in ancient China. The Chinese government was buying a lot of things, and the royal accountants were having a hard time dealing with all the gold coins moving around. So to help matters, they started paying people using pieces of paper with the amount of money owed on them. The holder of the paper could go to the palace and redeem the paper for the amount of gold printed on it.
These papers started being circulated all throughout China. Soon, merchants realized that these slips of paper were always good since they could be returned to the capital for however much was written on them whenever they wanted. So why bother turning them in at all? They could just use the slips of paper to purchase things!
This paper money can be called Fiat currency. The paper that is used is not inherently valuable. It only has value because of the promise from the government to refund it as gold when requested.
This moves us onto the idea of cryptocurrency, which is even less valuable than fiat currency since it has no physical attributes. You can't touch or hold cryptocurrency, you can only ever change its ownership. But unlike fiat currency, cryptocurrency doesn't require a centralized bank or organization to manage the value of the money. Cryptocurrency has both the decentralization of commodity money and the convenience of fiat money.

Govt announces relief for ailing telcos, approves divestment of 5 PSUs including BPCL
The government not only approved reducing its stake below 51 per cent in specific CPSEs but also deferred pending spectrum auction payments for telecom operators for the years 2020-21 and 2021-22.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Cabinet gives in-principle approval for sale of its stake in five CPSEs
- Government to sell 53.2 per cent of its stake in BPCL
- Relief for telcos as govt also deferred pending spectrum auction payments for 2020-21 and 2021-22
The Narendra Modi-led government on Wednesday gave in-principle approval for the sale of its stake in five Corporate Public Social Enterprises (CPSEs), including Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Shipping Corporation of India and Container Corporation of India.
The approval paves the way for the government to sell 53.2 per cent of its stake in BPCL. But this will not include BPCL's equity shareholding in Numalighar Refinery, which is based in Assam.
The government has also decided to approve 53.75 per cent stake sale in Shipping Corporation of India, 30.8 per cent in Container Corporation of India (CONCOR), to a strategic buyer, announced Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at a press conference.
It has also decided to sell 74.34 per cent of THDC India and 100 per cent in North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO) to state-owned NTPC.
Sitharaman said that the Cabinet has approved reducing the government's stake in the aforementioned CPSEs below 51 per cent with the transfer of "certain management control".
BIG RELIEF FOR AILING TELCOS
In what seems to be a big relief for ailing telecom service providers, the government also approved the recommendation of the Committee of Secretaries (CoS) on providing relief to stressed telecom operators as well.
The government has deferred pending spectrum auction payments for telecom operators for the years 2020-21 and 2021-22.
"In view of the current fin stress faced by major telecom service providers and in pursuant of the recommendations by Committee of Secretaries, it is decided to defer receipts of spectrum auction installments due from the TSPs from the years 2020-21 and 2021-2022," Sitharaman said.
The deferred charges will now be equally spread over the remaining installments to be paid by telecom service providers without any increase in the existing time period specified for making the installment payment.
"The interest, as stipulated while auctioning the concerned spectrum, will, however, be charged so that NPV of the payable amount is protected. Telcos will continue to securitise next payable annual installment via bank guarantee," Sitharaman added.
Among other things, Cabinet has also approved monetising NHAI projects and regularisation of unauthorised colonies in Delhi-NCR. The regularisation of these colonies will provide relief to approximately 40 Lakh people.

FROM PRINCE CHARLES ZUMA JOHANNEBURG SOUTH AFRICA E-MAIL<EMAIL_ADDRESS>TEL:27-83-508 5448 E-MAIL<EMAIL_ADDRESS>ATTN:DIRECTOR/C .E. O With due respect trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I believe will be a great interest to you. I found your contact while I was doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family and I. That's why I contacted you. I am Prince Charles Zuma the first son of Late Mr.Morris Zuma who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I found your contact while I was doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family in a business transaction, hence I decided to write to you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to Deposit the sum of US$29 M (Twenty Nine Million United States Dollars). in a private security company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as Precious Metals to avoid any suspicion from the security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machineries and chemicals and establishment of a new Commercial farm in Swaziland. This land problem came up when Zimbabwe President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a New Land Act reform, which wholly affected the rich white Commercial farmers and some few Black Commercial farmers. This resulted to killings and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reform act for which my father is a victim. It is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father's money to a foreign Country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees to transact any business with the bank. As the eldest son of my father, I am given the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign partner who will provide a foreign account where this money could be transferred into as soon as possible for the investment of my family. I must also let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. If you accept to assist my family and me. All I want from you is for you to make arrangements and come to Johannesburg,South Africa so that you can open a non-resident account in your name which will aid us in transferring this money into any account you will nominate overseas. I have two options, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your country.Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses that might be incured in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 20% of the total money, while 75% will be for my family and me. If you are really capable and willing to assist me, please contact me immediately on the above telephone or by email. Finally, please treat this matter as urgent and Confidential. I intend to leave this country soonest. Thanks for your mutual co-operation. I expect your urgent response. Best Regards, PRINCE CHARLES ZUMA


Sex trafficking is a form of slavery that still exists throughout the U.S and around the world.
Globally, the average cost of a slave is $90. Also, There are 20 to 30 million slaves in the world today.
Between 14,500 and 17,500 people are trafficked into the U.S. each year.
In 2014 a 13 year old girl was forced to dance nude in a Miami Beach Strip Club. The 13 year old was reported a runaway and said she was forced to have sex for money. Four people have been arrested and charged with human trafficking in the case, including 36 year old Vilbert Jean "Vitto" and 22-year-old Marlene San Vincente, a former Club Madonna dancer.

NounType
: NounType
In Irish, noun forms fall into certain groups or declentions (see Form). These nouns follow patterns of inflection depending on gender, number and case. The noun type feature affects the form of modifying adjectives, and so is a feature of both parts of speech.
Strong
: strong plurals
The form of a strong plural remains unchanged regardless of grammatical case, i.e. it does not inflect.
Examples
- bláthanna “flowers” (nominative, accusative, genitive)
- oibreacha “works” (nominative, accusative, genitive)
- cótaí “coats” (nominative, accusative, genitive)
Weak
: weak plurals
Unlike the strong plural, a weak plural noun is different in the nominative, accusative and genitive cases.
Examples
- focail “words” (nominative, accusative)
- focal “words” (genitive)
- Aontais “Unions” (nominative, accusative)
- Aontas “Unions” (genitive)
Adjectives in Irish can have endings that are slender or not slender (broad). Depending on how the preceding noun ends, the form of the adjective can change.
NotSlender
: broad consonants
A final consonant is termed broad if the preceding vowel is broad (a, á, o, ó, u, ú). The feature ‘NotSlender’ applies to adjectives qualifying a plural noun that ends in a broad consonant or a vowel.
Examples
- dathanna príomhúla
- nótaí praiticiúla
Slender
: slender consonants
A final consonant is termed slender if the preceding vowel is slender (e, é, i, í). The feature ‘Slender’ applies to adjectives qualifying a plural noun that ends in a slender consonant.
Examples
- na heagrais dheonacha
- thuaithe cháilitheacha

PUBLIC ACCESS A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1993 Scott Renshaw
Starring: Ron Marquette, Dina Brooks, Charles Kavanaugh. Screenplay: Chris McQuarrie, Bryan Singer and Michael Feit Dougan. Director: Bryan Singer.
Life in the middle-American town of Brewster will never be the same after the arrival of drifter Whiley Pritcher (Ron Marquette) in PUBLIC ACCESS, the Grand Jury Prize Winner at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Whiley is a charming, affable fellow who immediately makes (air)waves when he begins a call-in program on the local public access cable station. His one and only question: what's wrong with Brewster? The citizens at first seem unwilling or unable to find any flaws in their town, but eventually callers begin expressing their anger at neighbors, teenagers and even Brewster's popular mayor Tom Breyer (Charles Kavanaugh). Whiley also attracts the interest of Rachel (Dina Brooks), a shy young librarian. As tensions rise in the town, Whiley begins working towards fulfilling his ultimate purpose in Brewster.
PUBLIC ACCESS is an ambitious, stylish film that manages to find itself both inches from brilliance and inches from complete impenitrability. It's a dark tale of family values gone awry, and manages to establish an effective tone of simmering menace. The problems really begin when that simmer should be turning into a boil. The first half of PUBLIC ACCESS is thoroughly intriguing, introducing Whiley in a manner that makes it clear that something about him is not quite right, but keeps you guessing as to what exactly it is. Ron Marquette, a dead ringer for Harry Connick Jr., plays Whiley as a telegenic Mr. Rogers, a smiling snake oil salesman with a comforting tone who has discovered the perfect medium for getting what he wants. As long as Whiley remains a mystery, PUBLIC ACCESS is a gripping drama. However, the resolution leaves mutliple threads hanging and inspires a great deal of head scratching. What were Whiley's motivations, or do they even matter? Has he succeeded or failed in what he set out to do in Brewster? A climactic confrontation between Whiley and a vocal critic was disappointingly short on tension, and the pivotal montage which brings the film to a close seems so deliberately opaque that it's just off-putting.
Viewers of PUBLIC ACCESS will likely find immediate similarities to David Lynch's BLUE VELVET. Director and co-writer Bryan Singer seems not at all shy about paying homage to influences like Lynch, Alan Parker and the Coen brothers. Unfortunately, he never quite combines all these elements into a style all his own. The interjection of a couple of eccentric public access programs is jarring, and leads the viewer to believe that PUBLIC ACCESS is going to be *about* cable television, which it absolutely is not. Nothing in Singer's direction really stands out except lingering shots of a ceiling fan and a glass of water which scream "meaningful." The technical credits are superb, particularly the evocative score and taut editing, both by San Jose native John Ottman. Singer just doesn't deliver when he really needs to.
I do wish to single out Ron Marquette's performance as a creepy triumph. He provides a solid counterpoint to the naturalistic performances of the townspeople, and his rendering of Whiley Pritcher almost sells PUBLIC ACCESS singlehandedly. When it comes right down to it, though, ACCESS isn't accessible enough, and it doesn't sprint to the finish.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 cable stations: 5.

I was experienced with this combination on a few occasions, and the other times I did it was similar, though only in some aspects.
My day started off with smoking some kif, which was from a pure sativa, followed by a hitting a few nitrous oxide canisters. This went exceptionally well.
A few hours later, my friend and I proceeded to repeat the process with the addition of salvia. It felt like a train hitting me, an extraordinarily fast rush and then the experience itself felt as if I was in a carnival almost. Everything was real but it was a 'fake' reality. I was not imagining this either. Everything was clear and sharp and normal in a sense, I was basically on the borderline of breaking through. It was also very fragile, and I had the potential of having a very bad trip. Luckily, I did not.
We watched a movie, by the end of which the effects of the salvia wore off. I went home and this is where the real trip happened. I arrived home, two hours after the original ingestion of the drugs. I am still high but under no influence of the previous substances. Another hour passes before I began to experiment alone. I had a rather large bowl of kif. I was by all standards high at the end of it. I then had Skyy vodka to dull the effects of the body and help me 'focus' (as much as one can focus on alcohol) my mind.
I turned on some nice 'calm' music and began to wait 15 minutes until I began to peak, before hitting the salvia. I packed a small amount, with some difficulty. The alcohol was kicking in, I felt the buzz and slightly inebriated. The salvia was burned for 2 seconds by a standard BIC, sucked in, and held in for about 20 seconds. I placed down the bowl and my lighter. I sat down, put on my headphones, and started up some visualizations in Winamp and waited for the show to start.
And start it did. I immediately felt the 'salvia wind' as I describe it, a feeling where my mind begins to get torn apart from my body. After another minute, I was totally under the grip of salvia. My mind was trapped in my body but free. I felt all the controls to my body. My mouth, my tongue, my hands, each had its own place in my body and I felt the individual controls. It was very interesting. I was still 'aware' of what was REALLY happening, but I felt that more interesting things I could see if I traveled out of my body. I had to 'step' over the controls of my body. In fact, last time during this process, I accidentally activated my voice and began mumbling to myself. I almost spoke, because I tripped over my voice 'controls.' A good way to picture this is the way you are now, in a big room with controls scattered everywhere and a door somewhere.
I locked my body into a sitting position and left. I became one with the visualizations, I understood what it was to be infinite. I realized what reality was. I cannot really put it into words. It was definitely an enlightening experience. This feeling pursued for about 30 minuets, probably due to alcohol. After the feeling wore off I was simply high/mildly intoxicated. I went to sleep. I slept wonderfully. The next day I woke up feeling slightly burnt, but it went away quickly after I reflected on my trip.
I feel now that my highs, no matter what they are off of, will be much more personal and meaningful. I will understand much more. Addition of any other drugs into this experience would definitely make this a much more intense experience. I will definitely try this again when I am ready. Perhaps nitrous will be added.

Use Crontab Guru to create a time schedule.
To use the scheduler you need to have a Email Relay Server. The scheduling rules will be applied to the Email Relay Server.
Servers > Add Server > Choose Server type: Email
Batch size is made of a total and a number of emails per batch run.
2 50
This will send 2 emails per run
and 50 in total.
A batch is scheduled over a period of 15 minutes. So it is best to schedule the start of a batch at the beginning of a quarter at 0, 15, 30, or 45 minutes.
There is a max per day limit of 30 emails combined with the emails of the warmer service it makes a total of 55 emails per day.
This is the cron format to schedule how your email is send out.
You could use crontab.guru to create the schedules that you need.

MESHREDUCE return mesh with minimal number of faces [NODES FACES] = meshReduce(NODES, FACES) [NODES EDGES FACES] = meshReduce(NODES, EDGES, FACES) NODES is a set of 3D points (as a Nn-by-3 array), and FACES is one of: - a Nf-by-X array containing vertex indices of each face, with each face having the same number of vertices, - a Nf-by 1 cell array, each cell containing indices of a face. The function groups faces which are coplanar and contiguous, resulting in a "lighter" mesh. This can be useful to visualize binary 3D images for example. FACES = meshReduce(..., PRECISION) Adjust the threshold for deciding if two faces are coplanar or parallel. Default value is 1e-14.

Chapter VII
Most of your letters... and all of your newspaper and magazine ads... will have a headline.
If you do what most lazy writers do, you'll slap one together at the last minute, after you've written everything else.
And this will murder your ad.
Flip through the nearest magazine. Look at the ads. You'll see a few with headlines that seem clear enough. Some may even induce you to read the body copy.
But most of them will just float right by your eyes, like seagulls on the horizon.
Your headline is the single most important piece of copy you will write. Savvy copywriters often spend...
90% Of Their Time Crafting Just The Headline!
Why? Because your headline must do two jobs, and do them quickly. You have less than a full second of the reader's scattered attention.  Say, at a train station.
Everybody's late, distracted, irritated.
And you want to sell them a book about building Web sites that actually earn money. Your prospects include owners of businesses trying to make it on the Web, geeks trying to build them, entrepreneurs always on the lookout for information just like you have, and dreamers who think they have a good idea to upload.
So, there you are.  How you get the attention of the people you want to talk to?
Easy. You just yell...
 Well, I'm not. I'm telling you what to imagine here... and I've just made the owner of a software company you recognized walk by on the way to his train.
And you just got his attention.
Using a person's name in your headline is the strongest appeal your sales letter
could ever have, too. So... if you have the name of your prospect...
My clients have found that personalizing letters can increase response by as much as 30%. Even if the personalization only occurs in the salutation (“Dear Bob McDaniels:”).
Now, yes, you won't always be able to use personalization. You can't use it in newspaper or magazine ads. And sometimes the economics of your situation dictates that you must skip the personalization.
When that's the case...
You yell...
That sort of cuts to the quick, doesn't it?
Anyone within earshot who needs that information will scurry over to you and grab their free report. If you can get them to sit down and talk, you can begin your sales pitch for your book. If not, they'll read all about it in the special report.
Trigger words are the next best thing to the sound of your own name. They are shorthand, and very direct, descriptions of the very thing you are interested in.
If you're hot to find a new house, you'll respond to the trigger words “house hunting” and “real estate secrets your broker is hiding from you”.
If your business is hemorrhaging money, you'll likely respond to the words “cash flow secrets”, “instant flood of new customers” and “Chapter Eleven”.

Readers depend on headlines to cut through the clutter and nonsense... and alert them to the articles (and ads) they really want to focus on. The magazine they're reading has 268 pages of copy in it, and most of it is advertising with no bearing on their lives whatsoever.
Their morning newspaper is full of horror, bad news, the sports pages, and damn, they moved Dear Abby again. (By the way, did you know the comics are the most-read part of the newspaper?)
And when the mailman arrives, there's a fresh stack of bills, flyers and catalogs all screaming for attention.
So, knowing this...
Here's a little test: Have someone open a magazine - any magazine at all – and read aloud only the headlines of the first twelve ads he sees. Try to guess what product is being touted.
Heck... try to guess what part of the business world they're in. You'll see car ads with headlines that talk about jet airliners... credit card company ads that talk about backpacking... and cellular phone manufacturers that talk about living in Paris.
I just picked up recent copies of Maxim, the New Yorker, and Playboy. (Shows you where my interests lie.) Here's a full page ad showing a crumpled napkin with the word “coffee” scribbled on it, the word “50 cents” crossed out, and “$4.95” written under it. They're selling Johnny Walker scotch. No trace of a bottle or label to be found. If you can't read the 5-point line of copy at the bottom, you'd never figure out who paid for the ad.
Here's a full-page photo of a guy asleep, lying sideways with a blanket and pillow. The headline is “It's true, you can sleep your way to the top.” Lots of empty
space. In small copy at the bottom, you learn this is an ad for British Airways. Apparently they now offer flat beds in business class. Very clever way to NOT alert your potential customers.
And here's a full page grainy outdoor shot, with a pony-tailed dude looking out over a darkening valley. Headline: “Let someone else climb the corporate ladder.” Care to guess what the product is?
Chewing tobacco.
One . Back cover ad, the most expensive real estate in the magazine. Fuzzy, light-colored background you can't make out. Here's the copy: “Pate. Pillows. Are GEESE great or what?”
I am not making this up. It's an ad for Hyatt hotels.
These ads are not written by salesmen. And they are not written with the customerin mind.
Nope. They are written to please other dumb-ass corporate copywriters and designers and - worst of all - the client. Most copywriters think if they get the client to like the ad, they've been successful.
Horseshit. In fact, I've discovered that, frequently, it's the Kiss Of Death if the client likes the ad. I don't want the client to like the ad. I hope it even makes him a little uncomfortable. I'm not getting paid to stroke his ego. I'm out to...
 He won't do it. Readers scan even the important stuff in what they read. (I almost threw away a recent bill from the cable company they'd cleverly disguised as a solicitation on first glance.)
And readers absolutely fly by the junk mail and obvious advertisements they see. It's your job to stop them like Wile E. Coyote running into a brick wall the
Roadrunner painted to look like the sky. Wham!
And you do that by using trigger words that tap into their passion. Your headlinemust deliver either:
Now go back and try inserting your prospect's name in each of those three example headlines. “Why Does This Hacker Smile Every Time Bob Smith Does Business On-Line?” You think Bob Smith is going to skip past that?
It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks about your ad. You shouldn't care if NO ONE outside your target audience even glances at your ad (and this includes the client and other copywriters). You're not after them. You're after your...
This may crimp your “creativity”... but it will sure increase sales. Have eyes ONLY for your potential customer, and know that you will never be dull when you're addressing what is important to him:
Don't risk “burn out” before you discover how quickly these secrets can change your life!
I wrote this ad for a chiropractic “coach” who knew his target audience was exhausted, mega-overworked bone-crunchers who knew they weren't making a fraction of what they should be earning. The ad is still running, pulling hundreds of thousands of dollars some four years later.
I directly addressed the intended audience, using loaded “trigger words” that were sure to grab them by the throat. All the happy, super-rich and relaxed doctors blew right by the ad. They weren't the target.
And I was specific with numbers. Specificity just shines with trustworthiness.
But you must back it up. Explain how you got your numbers in the copy. (In this case, we had an accountant verify that this, indeed, was the average increase in client profits.).
See if you have to guess what these final headlines are selling. (Hint: Each one is attached to an ad that is still mailing, still running in magazines, still pulling in buckets of profit.)
“Put me in a tee box with Tiger Woods and I'll outdrive him every time!”

Chapter VII
After your headline, the most important piece of copy is your opening paragraph.
This is where you set the stage for everything else you say.
Imagine that your headline has “gotten you in the door”. Your opening paragraph is then how you get your prospect to “sit down” and settle in for one of the most fascinating rides of his life.
The easiest technique to use to do that - and it's one I employ frequently – is the...
It's very simple. Here's a couple of examples: “If you've always dreamed of a super-effective diet that's so easy, it works automatically even when you constantly cheat... then this will be the most exciting letter you ever read.”
“If you'd like to get a brand new Porsche 911, for half of what everyone else has to pay (legally)... then you're going to freak over what I have to share with you here.”
“If you'd love to start firing tennis serves at over 110 miles an hour, with the accuracy of a guided missile… then this will be the most life-changing message you have ever read.”
And so on. Even veteran writers sometimes stumble and mumble when trying to write a killer opening paragraph. This technique gets the job done with absolute minimum fuss.
Another technique is to...
It sounds straightforward enough, but it's pure genius in its simplicity: “My name is Dr. O'Malley, and I have just written a book that shows how you can instantly increase the intensity and duration of your orgasms. Here is what I've discovered...”
“I am one of fourteen people who have discovered an easy, legal and no-hassle way to get into Cubs games absolutely free. Here is how you can be number fifteen...”
“With your permission - and with strict precautions for your privacy - I want to send you a copy of a vicious hand-to-hand training video that was smuggled out of the
These techniques are examples of “reason why” copy. We call it that because, literally, you give your reader a reason to believe every statement you make.
A specific, plausible and compelling reason.
Using this simple technique guarantees that you do not fall into the trap most ad writers fall into. Which is to be unclear and vague. Basically, most ad writers
Huge mistake. Huge. You tell your reader you've got the best product in the universe, and what does he do? He yawns.
But if tell him you have 985,425 current customers worldwide, and outsold your nearest competitor by 46% over the last six years... well, that will perk him up.
Don't even try telling him you made “a million dollars” last year using your fabulous new idea. -Instead, reprint a letter from your accountant verifying your last bank statement, where you deposited $1,121,347.87. Heck, get a notary public to put her stamp on the thing.
Being specific means...
And that's what gives your customer the confidence to buy from you.
You are “credentializing” yourself as a knowledgeable expert... who is about to share everything you know with your customers.
There's a reason why you're writing to him.
There's a reason why your product is something he will definitely want. There's a reason why it costs what it does.
And there's a reason why he has to act right now, or miss out.
Tell him why you're telling him what you're telling him! Do as a salesman would when speaking face-to-face with a half-sold customer. Give the poor reader...
Explain yourself, Bucko. “I'm writing to you today because I know you are interested in growing roses.”
“I got your name from a mutual friend, who said you'd want to know about this amazing opportunity right away.”
“You recently responded to an ad we ran in USA Today, with this headline...”
“I am writing to everyone who lives in Sleepy Hollow, because something urgent has come up that directly affects your property value...”
And then tell your story, as simply and clearly as you can. One of my favorite ways to do this is by using this phrase to start the second, or at the very latest, the third paragraph:
In fact, that simple phrase can be used, with only slight modifications, throughout your copy. It essentially takes the place of the QUESTION your prospect would most naturally ask you at that point... if she was sitting in front of you. But she's not. So you answer the question that's in her head, at every juncture:
“Here's why so many women are using this product:”
“Here is how those Swiss scientists came up with the formula:” “Here's what this product will do for you:”
“Here is why you don't risk a penny.”
And... one of the most important explanations in your pitch...
But don't you dare do that until you have loaded your reader down with excellent reasons to buy than he can fit into his thinking process.
Mark Twain once said: “There are two reasons a man buys anything. The reason he can tell his wife... and the real reason.”
Take that to heart. You must satisfy the reluctance in your customer's soul... in his
heart... in his brain... in his bank account...
Don't just tell him it's a bargain. Show him, in a way he can easily repeat to convince his wife.
Don't mumble about excellent engineering. Give him the specs, in a memorable story that will leave his buddies breathless.
Don't be vague about why you're in the business. Tell your story, in a way anyone can identify with.
And keep telling your story... but always bring it back to your customer. Tell her why this purchase makes sense. Why it will help her get what she most desires. Why it's exactly what she's been waiting for her entire life.
Do you honestly have inside information, or a hot tip, or a way to deliver a better deal than anyone else can get?
Tell me about it.
Do you have an uncle in the Mafia who, just before going off to San Quentin, revealed to you a perfectly legal way to lower your income tax by investing in Euro dollars?
Or, has the taxman surprised you with a bill you can't pay, and that means you must sell your entire inventory of widgets at fire sale prices?
Or, on a cold drizzling day last March, did a stranger come up to you on the golf course and reveal a simple adjustment to your swing that caused you to suddenly start launching 300-yard howitzer shots off every tee?
Okay. That sounds good. But why should I believe you? Tell me. Is it because you're a respected oral surgeon in Des Moines, with a reputation like gold?
Or, is your business well-known on the West Coast, with a 25-year track record of honesty and breaking new ground on exciting stuff?
Or, are you just a regular Schmoe who stumbled onto a good thing, and decided to share your good fortune with a few lucky souls... but you insist on treating every
customer the way you wish you were treated - and seldom are - by being outrageously generous and trusting and taking on all the risk yourself?
Okay. Starting to sound pretty tempting. But how can I be sure this will work as advertised? Tell me: “Here's a short list of satisfied customers, including the Los Angeles Chief of Police, the Duke of Buckingham, and six well-known businessmen in your home town.”
Keep pouring it on. “Here's why so many professionals and savvy people already are customers.”
“Here's why we've decided on this price, and why it's a great deal.” “Here's why you can feel confident you aren't risking a penny.”
“Here's how fast you can expect to get exciting results, and here are examples of those results.”
“Here's how to order, and here's when to expect your stuff to arrive.” Here's the story.
Here's what it's all about.
One last thought: Always stay one step ahead of your reader. Remember... he expects you to exaggerate and brag and be fast and loose with the facts. That's what every other advertiser has done since the day he learned to read.
So... don't lie. Be brutally honest. Just keep imaging your reader shaking his head, saying “Yeah, right.” And then immediately confront that thought: “I'll bet you think I'm pulling your leg, right? Hey, I thought this sounded `too good to be true', too. Here's what convinced me otherwise:”
Never forget that he doesn't really want to believe you. He's been taken for a sucker countless times before. He's never really gotten a fair shake from an advertiser.
So be the first businessman in his life to treat him... like you would like to be treated yourself. Be honest. Offer a good deal, with plenty of opportunity to change his mind. Make the deal legitimately “fool-proof'. And give him lots and lots of reasons to...

Too many borders can make a design look really busy. Here's a few ideas that are a bit more subtle. – Steve Schoger · 16 Aug 2017
Too many borders can make a design look really busy. Here's a few ideas that are a bit more subtle.


React Redux itself is currently written in plain JavaScript. However, it works well with static type systems such as TypeScript.
The React Redux type definitions are a separate @types/react-redux
typedefs package on NPM. In addition to typing the library functions, the types also export some helpers to make it easier to write typesafe interfaces between your Redux store and your React components.
As of React Redux v7.2.3, the react-redux
package has a dependency on @types/react-redux
, so the type definitions will be automatically installed with the library. Otherwise, you’ll need to manually install them yourself ( npm install @types/react-redux
).
We assume that a typical Redux project is using Redux Toolkit and React Redux together.
Redux Toolkit (RTK) is the standard approach for writing modern Redux logic. RTK is already written in TypeScript, and its API is designed to provide a good experience for TypeScript usage.
The Redux+TS template for Create-React-App comes with a working example of these patterns already configured.
Using configureStore should not need any additional typings. You will, however, want to extract the RootState
type and the Dispatch
type so that they can be referenced as needed. Inferring these types from the store itself means that they correctly update as you add more state slices or modify middleware settings.
Since those are types, it’s safe to export them directly from your store setup file such as app/store.ts
and import them directly into other files.
```ts title=“app/store.ts” import { configureStore } from ‘@reduxjs/toolkit’ // …
const store = configureStore({ reducer: { posts: postsReducer, comments: commentsReducer, users: usersReducer, }, })
// highlight-start // Infer the RootState
and AppDispatch
types from the store itself export type RootState = ReturnType<typeof store.getState> // Inferred type: {posts: PostsState, comments: CommentsState, users: UsersState} export type AppDispatch = typeof store.dispatch // highlight-end ```
While it’s possible to import the RootState
and AppDispatch
types into each component, it’s better to create pre-typed versions of the useDispatch
and useSelector
hooks for usage in your application. This is important for a couple reasons:
useSelector
, it saves you the need to type (state: RootState)
every timeuseDispatch
, the default Dispatch
type does not know about thunks or other middleware. In order to correctly dispatch thunks, you need to use the specific customized AppDispatch
type from the store that includes the thunk middleware types, and use that with useDispatch
. Adding a pre-typed useDispatch
hook keeps you from forgetting to import AppDispatch
where it’s needed.Since these are actual variables, not types, it’s important to define them in a separate file such as app/hooks.ts
, not the store setup file. This allows you to import them into any component file that needs to use the hooks, and avoids potential circular import dependency issues.
```ts title=“app/hooks.ts” import { TypedUseSelectorHook, useDispatch, useSelector } from ‘react-redux’ import type { RootState, AppDispatch } from ‘./store’
// highlight-start // Use throughout your app instead of plain useDispatch
and useSelector
export const useAppDispatch = () => useDispatch
We recommend using the pre-typed useAppSelector
and useAppDispatch
hooks shown above. If you prefer not to use those, here is how to type the hooks by themselves.
useSelector
hookWhen writing selector functions for use with useSelector
, you should explicitly define the type of the state
parameter. TS should be able to then infer the return type of the selector, which will be reused as the return type of the useSelector
hook:
interface RootState {
isOn: boolean
}
// TS infers type: (state: RootState) => boolean
const selectIsOn = (state: RootState) => state.isOn
// TS infers `isOn` is boolean
const isOn = useSelector(selectIsOn)
This can also be done inline as well:
useDispatch
hookBy default, the return value of useDispatch
is the standard Dispatch
type defined by the Redux core types, so no declarations are needed:
If you have a customized version of the Dispatch
type, you may use that type explicitly:
// store.ts
export type AppDispatch = typeof store.dispatch
// MyComponent.tsx
const dispatch: AppDispatch = useDispatch()
connect
higher order componentconnect
consists of two functions that are called sequentially. The first function accepts mapState
and mapDispatch
as arguments, and returns a second function. The second function accepts the component to be wrapped, and returns a new wrapper component that passes down the props from mapState
and mapDispatch
. Normally, both functions are called together, like connect(mapState, mapDispatch)(MyComponent)
.
As of v7.1.2, the @types/react-redux
package exposes a helper type, ConnectedProps
, that can extract the return types of mapStateToProps
and mapDispatchToProps
from the first function. This means that if you split the connect
call into two steps, all of the “props from Redux” can be inferred automatically without having to write them by hand. While this approach may feel unusual if you’ve been using React-Redux for a while, it does simplify the type declarations considerably.
import { connect, ConnectedProps } from 'react-redux'
interface RootState {
isOn: boolean
}
const mapState = (state: RootState) => ({
isOn: state.isOn,
})
const mapDispatch = {
toggleOn: () => ({ type: 'TOGGLE_IS_ON' }),
}
const connector = connect(mapState, mapDispatch)
// The inferred type will look like:
// {isOn: boolean, toggleOn: () => void}
type PropsFromRedux = ConnectedProps<typeof connector>
The return type of ConnectedProps
can then be used to type your props object.
interface Props extends PropsFromRedux {
backgroundColor: string
}
const MyComponent = (props: Props) => (

<button onClick={props.toggleOn}>
Toggle is {props.isOn ? 'ON' : 'OFF'}
</button>

)
export default connector(MyComponent)
Because types can be defined in any order, you can still declare your component before declaring the connector if you want.
// alternately, declare `type Props = PropsFromRedux & {backgroundColor: string}`
interface Props extends PropsFromRedux {
backgroundColor: string;
}
const MyComponent = (props: Props) => /* same as above */
const connector = connect(/* same as above*/)
type PropsFromRedux = ConnectedProps<typeof connector>
export default connector(MyComponent)
connect
The connect
higher-order component is somewhat complex to type, because there are 3 sources of props: mapStateToProps
, mapDispatchToProps
, and props passed in from the parent component. Here’s a full example of what it looks like to do that manually.
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
interface StateProps {
isOn: boolean
}
interface DispatchProps {
toggleOn: () => void
}
interface OwnProps {
backgroundColor: string
}
type Props = StateProps & DispatchProps & OwnProps
const mapState = (state: RootState) => ({
isOn: state.isOn,
})
const mapDispatch = {
toggleOn: () => ({ type: 'TOGGLE_IS_ON' }),
}
const MyComponent = (props: Props) => (

<button onClick={props.toggleOn}>
Toggle is {props.isOn ? 'ON' : 'OFF'}

// Typical usage: `connect` is called after the component is defined
export default connect<StateProps, DispatchProps, OwnProps>(
mapState,
mapDispatch
)(MyComponent)
It is also possible to shorten this somewhat, by inferring the types of mapState
and mapDispatch
:
const mapState = (state: RootState) => ({
isOn: state.isOn,
})
const mapDispatch = {
toggleOn: () => ({ type: 'TOGGLE_IS_ON' }),
}
type StateProps = ReturnType<typeof mapState>
type DispatchProps = typeof mapDispatch
type Props = StateProps & DispatchProps & OwnProps
However, inferring the type of mapDispatch
this way will break if it is defined as an object and also refers to thunks.
The hooks API is generally simpler to use with static types. If you’re looking for the easiest solution for using static types with React-Redux, use the hooks API.
If you’re using connect
, we recommend using the ConnectedProps<T>
approach for inferring the props from Redux, as that requires the fewest explicit type declarations.
