NOTE: if you are looking for a very basic intro to git, I recommend reading this guide by Atlassian first.
Do you use git but still don't really understand it?
Here's a 🔥 git crash course 🔥 to fix that 🎉
Git gives you a FULLY FEATURED repository on your local computer
This is different than other version control systems
Once you embrace that, you can start demystifying some of the git 'magic'
Think of files (and changes) as being in 5 different places, or "states"
- Working directory
- Staging (Index)
- Commit tree (local repo or HEAD)
- Stash
- Remote repo (github, Bitbucket, gitlab, etc)
Think of moving files (or changes) between those places:
git add working dir => staging
git commit staging => HEAD
git push HEAD => remote repo
git stash working dir <=> stash
git reset and
git checkout to pull from upstream
Why have a dedicated staging area?
So that you can choose and review which files and changes to commit before committing.
git status shows changes in both your working directory and staging, but think of them as separate things.
git log shows the history of commits your local repository
Learn to love
git log
It's a snapshot of repo state: shows past commits as well as local HEAD, local branch, remote HEAD and remote branch
git log --oneline is compact way to view commit history
A branch is a reference to the tip of a line of commits
It automatically updates when new commits are added to that line
Making a new branch will diverge the tree at that point
A merge takes two branches and makes a NEW commit which combines them
If there are conflicts, you have to manually resolve them (no shortcuts!)
git rebase lets you rewrite commit history
Applies your current commits directly to branch HEAD
Can squash all your commits into one to clean up history
Don't do this to public (remote) commits!
Some people say you should only ever merge to keep your entire history
Some people say you should always rebase before merging into master to keep a clean history tree
I say: do whatever works for you and your team 🤷♂
HEAD can point to a branch or a specific commit
If it points to an old commit, that's called a "detached HEAD"
Editing in a detached HEAD state is dangerous (can lose work or cause problems combining work)
Many git commands can operate on either: individual files, commits, or branches
This can cause a lot of confusion - so make sure you know what TYPE of object you're operating on
There are many ways to undo unwanted actions in git
Here are the most common:
unstage a file:
git reset [file]
change last LOCAL commit:
git commit --amend
undo local commit:
git reset [commit BEFORE the one to undo]
undo remote commit:
git revert [commit to undo]
There's SO MUCH MORE I could have talked about!
What other things confuse you about git?
Comment below and I'll try to answer or find some resources for you 🙌

I'm trying to teach everything I know at chrisachard.com Instructor at egghead.io Mostly, I use JS, React, Rails, and Node
First time hearing about
git log --oneline. A truly cleaner way to look at the history.
Thanks Chris
And there is much more... try
git log --all --decorate --oneline --graph :)
Yes! there's a whole bunch :) Here's the full docs if you're interested: git-scm.com/docs/git-log (examples at the bottom)
On fire with these recent posts Chris!! 🔥
The biggest misconception I find (which I couldn't see listed here) is that a the history is a list of changes. Instead commits are snapshots of the entire repo, not just changes.
That's a good point - git is unlike SVN in that way. SVN stores diffs (which is why it can take a long time to calculate the current state when your repo history gets really long), and git stores entire files. I always had thought that git stored diffs as well (since you "commit" just the change, right?) - but nope!
I didn't include it because I find that, in practice, it doesn't matter much whether you think of the commit log as being diffs or snapshots - but I could be wrong... have you found cases where it matters a lot which way you think of it? Thanks!
It does when people get comfortable with cherry picking.
Ah, good point
You have a very helpful article. I would definitely not expect someone new to git to start cherry picking.
Thanks! Yeah; maybe on a more advanced course sometime :)
If I understand correctly, what you want is to add the extra files to the staging area with:
$ git add FILE
and then you can add them to the most recent commit with
$ git commit --amend
Does that solve the issue?
If you want to change a remote commit, you'll have to do this, and then push with
-f (which is a force push).
HOWEVER! Be careful with force push. If you accidentally force push to the wrong branch, then it can really mess you up, and if you have teammates who have already downloaded a public branch (like master), then force pushing to master isn't a good idea.
If you've already pushed to a public branch, the better choice is probably to just make a new commit.
I was really getting confused, till I realized I was seeing the word 'comment' instead of 'commit'. Now it makes much more sense! Great article.
Git is the expression used for an old angry man.
Either git good, or git' out.
Either way someone is going to be frustrated.
Just realised i missed out on a final pun.
"Either way someone is going to git' frustrated" ...
nice course...i'm however a bit confused about "stash".. first time i read this. What is that ?
Thanks - and yeah, I'm realizing that I didn't explain stash... like at all in the post 🤦♂ oops.
Stash is a temporary place you can put work in progress. Usually, the workflow goes something like this:
You are working on something in your working directory
a high priority bug comes in. To fix it, you have to switch branches and clear your working directory of the changes you already have made
instead of trying to save your work for later in a commit or a special branch, etc, you can put it in the "stash" with
git stash
Then you go and fix the high priority bug
later, you can re-apply what was in the stash with
git stash applyor
git stash pop(pop will remove it from the stash; apply just brings it back over)
then you can continue to work on whatever you were working on from bullet 1.
Hope that helps a bit! I probably should have had a separate point for it in the guide 😀
Best git summary ! Clear, concise, simple illustrations. I already master all these commands, but I never seen a so summary, so thanks. I will spread my team with your post :)

This is the first Offspring track on Ixnay on the Hombre not to feature vocals by Dexter Holland.
Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the disclaimer
That's right, the disclaimer
This American apple pie institution known as parental discretion
Will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm
From the lyrics which might actually make you think
And will also insult your intelligence at the same time
So protect your family
This album contains explicit depictions of things which are real
These real things are commonly known as life
So, if it sounds sarcastic, don't take it seriously
If it sounds dangerous, do not try this at home or at all
And if it offends you, just don't listen to it

Reviews for Eagle Ridge
My grandmother lived at the Eagle Ridge facility for several years before she passed away, and was relatively content with the care and service that she received there. She said that the food was absolutely terrible, and to be honest it didn't look/smell very appealing. The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly though, and the cleaning service is great. read more
I had never heard of this place until my niece recommended it, but I actually had a good time during my tour. The food was good, the people that work and live there are friendly, and the rooms were nice sized and fairly clean.
If you are looking for a reliable, safe place for your loved one that is affordable and close by; this is a great local choice. The staff are well trained, educated, and very friendly.
A friend of my family has been a happy resident of the Eagle Ridge for almost a year now; and seems to really love her apartment. Her room and bathroom are both private, and there are many common/public areas for residents to socialize and participate in a variety of activities. Meals are fairly good, and there are a variety of healthy options. The place is also spotless every time that I've been, which is nice. read more

Dunedin - the Edinburgh of the South Island
Even for me, New Zealand was far away. The Southern Alps stretched like a backbone along the southern island, carrying me closer and closer to my new home in Dunedin, the second last stop before Antarctica.
By: Ailesbury Media
To my right, lay the bay of Awarua and the glaciers and fjords of the Tasman Sea. I had also read that according to another Maori legend, the goddess of the underworld was so alarmed by the beauty of the new land, which the God Tu-te-Rakiwhanoa had created, that she was afraid men would come and want to live there forever. To suppress this desire she went directly to Milford Sound, the most beautiful part of the southern island and released a large sandfly called a manu, which she hoped would keep them away. For a long period the sandflies only bothered the local Aborigines who hunted under the light of the phosphorescent silver ferns amidst the cascading waterfalls, rushing streams and light-flecked beech forests. But the goddess might not have bothered, because in 1642, the Dutch navigator Abel Tasman reached the islands of Aotearoa and tried to come ashore. The Maoris killed four of his men and drove him away.
The British explorer, Capt. James Cook eventually landed in 1769, and within the space of a hundred years, there were an extra 3.5 million inhabitants eager to share the godly paradise. I looked out again, through the circular window at the mountain range that spread out on a blue and white carpet thousands of feet below the plane. We were now passing by the snow capped peaks of Mount Cook, 12,349 feet high and known to the local tribespeople as Aorangi, 'the cloud piercer'. To my left, a hundred miles down the eastern coast lay my new home, the farming port of Dunedin, blessed by plenty of rain and the centre of the nation's most important seat of medical learning.
It was with these thoughts, I was arriving on a rainy Sunday afternoon in early 1988 to start a new life as Respiratory Registrar in Dunedin Public Hospital. It was then, while I was alone onthe plane, with the memories of the Christmas parties in Dublin still fresh in my thoughts, I wondered what the future held in store for me. The job would be challenging as the dramatic rise in the severity of asthma among young people in New Zealand in the early 1980's was focusing international attention on the possible causes of these unusual mortalities. The lady in the seat beside me smiled and for a moment I felt she shared my concerns about my new position. We talked together for a while and she told me that the city of Dunedin had been named after the Gaelic name for Edinburgh and indeed many New Zealander's still referred to it as the 'Edinburgh of the South'. During the gold strikes of the 1860's the town had apparently flourished and in 1877 many Scottish Presbyterians migrated to the area, leaving their particular identity on the costal region.
"They say we only settled in Dunedin so we would have the weather to grumble about" she continued.
I later discovered that most of the streets of the city were named after familiar avenues of the Scottish capital and there was even a statue of Robbie Burns gazing down from a plinth in the octagonal main square. From these humble beginnings, the town of Dunedin rapidly grew to become the nation's foremost educational and commercial centre, but in latter years its former grandeur had waned, leaving it as probably the best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian City in the Southern Hemisphere. The city was also home to Carisbrook, the internationally famous sports ground, and the first Rugby World Cup of 1987 had just ended, with both Scotland and Ireland having played matches in the town.
In New Zealand, as in most other outposts of the British empire, rugby had evolved into a national pastime and was played by schoolboys from all over the country. Such was the passion for the game that from an early period racism was excluded from the sport and a Maori tribesman could proudly stand side by side with the grandson of a former British soldier as they chanted the mantra of the famous Haka together.
"Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!" ("It is death! It is death! It is life! It is life!").
"I was at the Irish World Cup game against Canada" she continued "and after the match we went to that new wee Irish Pub near the hospital called 'The Dubliner'"
"You'll like it here, they even have Guinness on tap!"
The air was still hot as we landed in Dunedin. The feeling of homesickness still lingered as I hired a car at the airport and made my way towards the hospital quarters. A faint thought, the echo of my girlfriend's departing words flickered through my memory.
For many hours I stayed in the room quietly unpacking, before making my way outside to listen to the sounds of my first New Zealand night. The echoes of my memories slowly drifted away, taken on the wings of a group of fireflies that swirled and tossed under the stars of the Southern Cross. In a darkened area near the main gate of the hospital, I saw a Steinlager sign on a hotel called 'The Captain Cook'.
It was there, about ten minutes later, that I met my first inebriated Kiwi, an out of town sheep drover, whose eyes simmered in a red haze as he turned towards me and slowly said,
"You know, when you look around you, we're a bloody great race of people!"
"We were the first to give women the right to vote, the first to introduce a welfare state and the first people to climb Mount Everest"
"We were also the first to have powered flight and if truth was said we even discovered the atom!"
Things were indeed looking up. Although I knew that Ernest Rutherford came from New Zealand, it was many months later before I discovered that Richard William Pearse, a farmer's son from the small, farming settlement of Waitohi, in the South Island of New Zealand flew an aircraft as early as March 1903, a full nine months before the Wright brothers. Apparently the powered plane eventually 'landed' on top of a high gorse hedge surrounding a neighbouring paddock. He left it there because of a heavy fall of snow. Meteorological records for that time show that snow fell on the 11th of July 1903, but that there was no snow during any of the years immediately before or after that date. It is documented that Orville Wright piloted Flyer from an airfield in North Carolina on 17 th of December of the same year. There was no doubt about it, all said, New Zealand was going to be a fascinating country to live in for a while.

Moon phase on 12 April 2025 Saturday is Full Moon, 14 days old Moon is in Libra.Share this page: twitter facebook linkedin
Full Moon is the lunar phase on . Seen from Earth, illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is 100%. The 14 days old Moon is in ♎ Libra.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 13 April 2025 at 00:22 UTC.
Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Tuesday Tue
Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Friday Fri
Saturday Sat
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 7.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1771" and ∠1914".
The Full Moon this days is the Pink of April 2025.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 312 of Meeus index or 1265 from Brown series.
Length of current 312 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 33 minutes. It is 1 hour and 2 minutes longer than next lunation 313 length.
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 11 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 58 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠346.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠2.3°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
13 days after point of perigee on 30 March 2025 at 05:26 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 13 April 2025 at 22:48 in ♎ Libra.
Moon is 404 728 km (251 486 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next day until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 295 km (252 460 mi).
1 day after its descending node on 10 April 2025 at 19:56 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 25 April 2025 at 02:23 in ♓ Pisces.
14 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
8 days after previous North standstill on 3 April 2025 at 22:15 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠28.696°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-28.630° in the next southern standstill on 18 April 2025 at 13:24 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

From the Cornell Vegetable Program.
High tunnel growers face a unique set of soil management challenges.
- Intensive cropping minimizes opportunities for fallow periods, cover cropping and other techniques for maintaining soil health and fertility.
- The plastic covering prevents rain from leaching the profile, leading to excess salts and alkalinity.
By choosing a moveable tunnel design, like the one in this video, a grower can grow a protected crop continuously while allowing for fallow periods, cover cropping and movement of excess salts through the soil profile. Moveable tunnels can be moved laterally (as shown) or pulled lengthwise to cover an already established crop (ie. move the tunnel from summer tomatoes over fall greens).

Peart records qualifying time for world team champs
Ballarat race walker Alanna Peart has secured a qualifying time for the 2020 IAAF Race Walking World Team U20 10km Championships.
Competing in the under-20 10km event at Fawkner Park, the 16-year-old walked a slick 49:01min (29-second personal best) to place only three seconds behind the winner.
Final selection for the Australian team will be announced in April 2020. The championships will be held during May in Minks, Belarus.
Peart has a hectic schedule and will join the Victorian team in Perth at the Australian All Schools Championships this weekend.
At Fawkner Park, the Australian 50km Championship was won by Rhydian Cowley in 3:52:58hr. That event saw Ballarat Olympian Jared Tallent withdraw during the race due to illness.
Jemma Peart was sixth in the U20 10km, Rachel Tallent third in the open women's 20km and Fraser Saunder finished third in the U18 5km with a PB time of 23:58min.

Best Energy Drink or Shot
Tie - Steaz and SyzmoWinners: Steaz and Syzmo
These two organic products used exciting, next-generation formulations to put them at the front of the energy drink innovation pack.
Steaz' mix of green tea, yerba mate, and acai proved that energy doesn't have to come from the equivalent of a no-doz tablet, while its lime and orange flavors were terrific extensions of the requisite berry-flavored workhorse. Syzmo, meanwhile, complemented its product's original agave syrup-sweetened recipe with cutting-edge Passionfruit and Prickly Pear flavors, a solid can design and a terrific taste. These two brands stood out in a field that was, unfortunately, adulterated by knockoffs of market leaders' products. Nevertheless, we also found potential in a few other entries, as well: Glaceau's Vitaminenergy was a logical – and tasty -- next step for that fast-growing imprint, while Java Monster underscored the clever work that the folks at Hansen's are doing to extend energy to different dayparts and consumer groups via hybrid products.

A complete guide to obtaining a growing licence
On the 24th of August 2016, Health Canada enacted the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) program. This allows Canadians to legally grow their own or obtain Medical Cannabis after fulfilling the Health Canada requirements. On October 17th, 2018, this program has been rolled into the Cannabis Act.
To read an overview of the ACMPR program, click here.
An individual may apply to obtain Cannabis from a licenced producer, or grow their own.
Here at CannMD, we are focused on assisting those looking to grow their own Cannabis for medical purposes. If you are interested in obtaining product from a licenced producer, the application process is virtually identical.
The steps to obtaining a growing (production) licence are as follows:
- Understand the process. There is an overview guide here that everyone seeking their licence should read.
- Ensure you meet Health Canada's requirements for possessing, storing, and producing Cannabis. If you do not meet these requirements, it is unlikely we will be able to obtain a licence on your behalf.
- Determine how much you need to grow, based on your daily usage. This may vary greatly based on your method of consumption, eg. dried product, creams, oils, etc., and how you use them. A calculator can be found here, but if you are unsure about this we would be happy to consult with you before proceeding, as a Doctor will not approve a quantity they do not believe you actually need.
- Begin preparation of your registration application form. This is required by all applicants, regardless of whether you are applying for the first time or renewing your existing licence.
- If the site you intend to grow Cannabis is not your usual place of residence and/or you do not own the property, you are also required to complete the section, "Annex A" of the application. If you rent or lease your property, you will need signed permission from the owner.
- A signed medical document is required. At CannMD, we connect you with a team of of Medical Doctors and specialists, and aim to deliver this document to you within 24hrs of your application, assuming your consultation is successfully completed. See our pricing and pay for your consulting package here.
- Gather your documents together: The registration application, signed permission from your site property owner (if applicable), and medical document from CannMD. Send them together to:
Health Canada
Registration Process
Address Locator: 0302B
Ottawa, ON K1A 0K9
Do not begin growing Cannabis until you have received your approved production certificate from Health Canada. Note that CannMD has no control over the speed at which Health Canada will deliver your certificate.
If you have any questions whatsoever, we encourage you to contact us. We're more than happy to help you at any step of the way.

How We Do Branding
Real Estate
Successful real estate branding can't be accomplished with just a fancy logo or a catchy motto. The real secret behind strong real estate brands is a combination of creative elements and on-point messaging into a coherent identity.
Architecture and Engineering
What does it mean to brand an architecture firm?
Having a strong brand is the difference between being another ho-hum, me-too and an architecture firm that clients line up to work with.
Clothing and Textile Industry
It is very important to keep consistency throughout your brand so that the community can recognize it in stores, in the streets, and on social media. For the clothing line brand it's the main thing which you need to sell your product.
Food, Restaurant and Hospitality
To say the restaurant industry is competitive would be the understatement of the millennium. It's hard and it's not for everyone. With so many different brands from small Mom-and-Pops to large multi-national franchise brands, the turbulence of this industry demands innovation and creativity.
General Office, Finance and Accounting
Naming and branding a financial services company requires a delicate balance – one that straddles the line between sounding too commonplace and too creative. After all, your clients are trusting you with their hard earned money, so while you need to be unique and memorable, you also need to instill a sense of trust and credibility.

With the 2009 acquisition of Trillium by Telereal to form Telereal Trillium, one of the largest players in the property outsourcing world was born. At the time of the merger, the new company's portfolio boasted a vast range of assets that included both properties and capital. As is the case anytime a large organization is created, focus immediately turned to how Telereal Trillium would conduct its business, both internally and externally. At the forefront of that focus was CEO, Graham Edwards, under whose leadership the new company would plot a course forward. Read on to see the path that course took, and how it set the foundation for the company's continued development (About.me).
Post-Merger Strategy
The aftermath of any merger is peppered with logistical concerns of how to go about the day to day operations of the new company. Telereal Trillium was no different. Though the two companies from which it was formed had already occupied offices in the same building at the time of the acquisition, as well as having a fair degree of shared employee turnover, there was still much legwork to be done to merge operations. To tackle the challenge in a directed and efficient manner, the company created a small team focused solely on integration. This team targeted functions such as IT and financial as the first groups to merge as the company reorganized. A senior management team was also created, comprising executives from both sides of the merger. In this way, Telereal Trillium was able to hit the ground running with the various considerations that go into a company post-acquisition.
That the company was able to excel at the merger process is perhaps no surprise, given their experience in the area. Both Telereal and Trillium had an extensive background in conducting change management on behalf of tenants prior to joining forces. In fact, when discussing the operation, Graham Edwards noted that "For BT last year we moved 15,000 staff around their property portfolio." Clearly, it was a challenge he was prepared to meet head-on.
Edwards' Leadership
In light of their plethora of moving parts, large-scale operations like the merger of these two property giants, require the direction of a seasoned leader to be successful. With a depth of experience in a variety of high-profile companies, Graham Edwards was an ideal candidate for the task. Already having served as CEO of Telereal since 2001 at the time of the merger, he had plenty of first-hand knowledge of how to run a large corporation. Beyond that, he had also been working in the property and finance world extensively prior to his time as CEO. Previously, he had held positions at Merrill Lynch and the BT Group Plc's property department. He has also served as the chief investment officer of Talisman Global Asset Management.
Edwards was also the person responsible for initiating the transaction that created Telereal in the first place. That 2001 deal, which resulted in 6,700 properties being transferred from BT to Telereal, was set up by Land Securities Trillium and the William Pears Group. At that time both parties invested £146 million toward the transaction which resulted in the £2.4 billion property outsourcing deal that created Telereal. Graham Edwards was named CEO of Telereal upon its inception, a position he held until transitioning to CEO of Telereal Trillium as a result of the merger.
Business Plans
In addition to logistical considerations, business dealings were high on the list of priorities for the company after the acquisition. However, the executive team also had a strong conviction that they had no need to rush into a deal with undue haste. Though the projection for the newly formed company was that it would reach a turnover of £1 billion a year, there was no sense that a business deal must be done in its first twelve months. In other words, there was no need to show off the leverage of the company with a splashy purchase.
This desire to rely on sound business fundamentals over showy displays of leverage was further underscored by the areas in which Telereal Trillium was looking to operate after the acquisition. The company was looking at a variety of deals including sale-and-leaseback transactions, property partnerships, facilities management, and real estate strategy.
In addition, the company opted to abandon some of the previous areas of income for the two companies from which it was formed. As part of this initiative, Telereal Trillium announced it would not pursue private finance initiative and public-private partnership contracts. The company also announced that Trillium had sold its ten percent stake in the Trillium Investment Partners fun, which was subsequently renamed as Semperian. According to Edwards, the move was made because "It is not a marketplace where we can deploy capital in the way we want to."
Capital Transactions
Another area in which Graham Edwards anticipated a niche for Telereal Trillium was in the world of large-scale capital transactions. These kinds of transactions are similar to a 2007 deal conducted by Telereal with Prupim. In that deal, Telereal purchased £750 million of property from the Royal Bank of Scotland through a sale-and-leaseback transaction. Edwards felt his company had a singular ability to offer value to the market in this area, stating that "We will be up against property companies for sale and leasebacks, contractors like Kier and Skanska for refurbishment projects and big facilities management players for the big contracts. We will uniquely bring together all three."
This type of confidence and optimism about Telereal Trillium in the aftermath of the merger has been rightly widespread. With a talented team of experienced executives and staff that have a wealth of knowledge in the field of property outsourcing and management, there are many talents to draw on from within the company. This high degree of skill and experience is perhaps best exemplified by CEO Graham Edwards and his forward-looking plans. Coupled with the extended access to capital that resulted from the merger, there is plenty of reason to think that Telereal Trillium can have a large impact on the property world far into the future.

Financial transactions are increasingly becoming digital in today's world. However, the most surprising thing is that checks are still common. Paper checks are an inexpensive and effective tool for transacting money. You may have or never used them before and now want to know how to write a check.
Fortunately, writing a check is an easy routine. With this step-by-step guide, we'll look at the best ways to write it. Remember you may want to write a check in future, which means you should check each of these steps.
- Date: You should write the date near the top of the check's right-hand corner. In most instances, you should use today's date. It enables you and the recipient to have accurate records. On the other hand, you can postdate the check, if you want the payee to cash the check at a later date.
- Payee: On the check, you will find a line, which says, "Pay to the order of". You should proceed and write the name of the organization or person that you're paying. You may ask who "who is the person am I going to make the check out to?", for example, if you're not sure on what to write.
- Use Numeric Form to Write the Amount: The next step is to write the payment amount in numeric form in the small box that's found on the right-hand side. Make sure you write as far over to the left-hand border as much as possible. If the payment amount is $7.17, the "7" should be written right up against check's left-hand border. By doing this, you'll avoid yourself from being a victim of fraud because someone with malicious intent can add a figure in-front of the 7.
- Write the Payment Amount in Words: Make sure you write the amount in words to prevent instances of fraud or confusion. It will be your payment's official amount. The payment amount is written in words on the line under the Payee.
- Signature: You should then legibly sign the check on the line found on the check's bottom-right corner. Make sure the name and signature you use are similar to the one on file at your bank. This How to Write a Check step is extremely important since, without a signature, the check won't be valid.
- Memo (Or "For") Line: If you want, you can include a note. However, you should realize that this step is optional and won't affect the processing of your check by the banks. The memo line is the best place to include a reminder about the reasons for writing the check. You may also find it to be the ideal place to write any information that the payee will use to process the payment (or find your account in the unfortunate instance something gets misplaced). You can write is your Social Security Number when making a check payment to the Internal Revenue Service or IRS, or a utility payments account number.
After you finish writing the check, make you keep a record of the payment. The best place to make a record is a check register, whether you use a paper or electronic register. Having records of payments avoids instances of you spending the money for other purposes.
Remember the funds will still be shown as available in your bank account until after the check is cashed or deposited, and this may take a while. To avoid this, you should make a note of the particular payment the moment you finish writing the check.
Electronic and credit cards payment options may be the convenient thing to do now. Knowing how to write a check, on the other hand, may help you navigate the world and prevent fraud or confusion when making payments.

It took me almost two months to Tat the 155 decorations for the Four Foot Christmas Tree. Of these 155 many were Motifs – or Snowflakes. Here is sampling of the motifs that we designed and produced for the tree. One or two of these were patterns from some of my Tatting Books… but within a short time I started changing the pattern to suit my need.
As created the Tatted Snowflakes I needed a presentation stand for them as well as the Balls with the tatting on them. Above is a sample of the simple stand that I created with three branches off a tree and dowels inserted in the holes that I drilled for them.

The teen is just 14 years old and is already receiving a huge pay for her very successful Netflix series. We have learned that Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown, who plays the fan favorite Eleven, is going to make a total of $3.15 million for season three of the show.
According to new reports, the talented young actress has been given a bumper pay raise by the streaming service.
That being said, we hear that Mille is now going to receive no less than $350K for each episode of the third season.
What is just as impressive is that the 14 year old's paycheck is rivaling the ones of experienced actors such as Winona Ryder.
And it totally makes sense considering that Brown's character is a big part of the reason why Stranger Things is so successful.
The young Eleven who has abilities that help keep the show's world in balance is loved by all of its dedicated audience members.
This is why the team behind Strange Things decided to give the teen actress a substantial raise.
Initially, Millie was supposed to receive around $250K for each episode, but after the amazing ratings the series received, Millie's reps negotiated the terms of her pay.
In fact, for the first two seasons, all of the young cast members received $250k per episode, but while they continue to be paid just as much, Millie was the only one receiving a raise.
The third season is set to air at the end of this year, sometimes in December.

Charles Darwin remains one of the most identifiable icons of science that the world has ever known and his science and writings continue to have a profound influence upon our approach to science, theology, sociology, philosophy and even politics. While Darwin wrote 25 books during his career, it was his fourteenth book on the origin of species that changed the world, dragging a Victorian view of the world into a modern age of a logical, deductive and secular approach to scientific investigation.
The Origin of Species is universally considered to be one of the most important books written in any language at any time based upon its social, theological, philosophical and scientific impact. Darwin; love him, hate him or don't seem to understand him; you cannot contest his tremendous impact upon the world.
This presentation will explore Darwin's life including his unlikely development into a scientist, his struggles to have his ideas taken seriously and his impact upon our present society including how Darwin's view of life has allowed us to understand relationships in science that otherwise would have been obscured had they not been viewed through the clarity provided by the lens of evolution.

Our "progressive" Springfield swampsters have found another way to waste the money of taxpayers and the time of bureaucrats in bankrupt, debt-ridden Illinois: a bill to create the Illinois Women & Girls Council sponsored in the Illinois House (HB 5544) by none other than Anna Moeller (D-Elgin), the sponsor of the school sexuality-indoctrination bill. The Women & Girls Council bill is flying through the Illinois House and Senate aided and abetted by even Republicans.
This council will "advise the Governor and the General Assembly" on everything the bill's sponsors can think of pertaining to women and girls, including—"but not limited to"—the following (take a deep breath):

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year?
Published on 20 December 2018
What does Christmas mean to you?
Time spent with your family, time off work, giving and receiving presents, lovely food and perhaps even some snow?
If the current TV ads are anything to go by, Christmas is a truly wonderful time when we're all laughing, smiling, enjoying each other's company, eating beautifully cooked food, and opening piles and piles of amazing presents .. all, of course, as the snow falls.
Then there's the reality.
Even with all the money in the world, surrounded by family and friends, the festive period can be the loneliest, most isolating time of year – a time when the pressure cooker that is our 'mental health' can blow.
We spoke to Camilla Plekker (29), Chair of Front Lounge, the organisation behind Foolish Optimism, about her own challenges and perspective on 'the most wonderful time of the year'…
What led you to become involved with Front Lounge and the Foolish Optimism film?
"My want to be directly involved in Foolish Optimism stems from my personal experience in trying to navigate services as a young person in the throws of anxiety and depression, which extended and exacerbated my symptoms unnecessarily over the years. I had no idea what was happening to me, how to talk about it, or who I could trust with my health.
"Now, the conversation around the mental health of young people in Scotland is demanding attention at national and policy level because my story is one heard again and again and again, and sadly I'm perceived by many to be one of the 'lucky ones who made it through', because I survived. We, as contributing members of our communities have the opportunity – through this project – to raise the profile of mental health and services available, provide an opportunity for individuals to identify with the themes in the film experienced by others, generate discussion, and provide real-life stories to make an argument for the needs of young people and our future generations."
What do you find particularly challenging about the festive period?
"Well, my experience is a sense and feeling that people sort of disappear over the festive season (healthcare and third sector services close or reduce significantly, shops shut and friends go off to spend time with their families, all that kind of thing), and this has at times left me feeling lonely, isolated and very unsure about how I should manage the perceived pressure to commit to the expectations of those around me to showcase that perfect Christmas and incredible New Year. It's a really strange time of year for those reasons and has been for me, in the past, painfully made worse by my anxiety and depression."
What do you do to help yourself at Christmas?
"I still have ups and downs and I have to consciously maintain my mental health throughout the day, daily, using skills I've learned through counselling (like CBT techniques and reflection) to change any negative perception I have about myself from moment to moment. Fundamentally for me, it's about giving myself a break: being able to tell myself that it's ok to feel the way I'm feeling (and truly believing it), but also trusting myself to identify when things are not right and act on it in a healthy way. On a practical level, sometimes we just have to do what we have to do, and be where we have to be, so I decided to make sure that I would try to organise some time in the season to spend time with close friends, maybe do something on my own that I normally wouldn't get the time to do and, in the quiet times, reflect on my achievements of the year past. Personally, I find volunteering a really fulfilling thing to do at this time of year."
And what about 2019? How do you manage your own expectations as we enter a new year?
"I used to put so much pressure on myself with the thought of the new year creeping up on me. I used to think, right, this year I'm going to eat a clean diet, lose weight, save money, work harder, have a tight sleep routine – the list would be endless! For some people, this totally works. For me, it doesn't work at all – in fact it does the opposite, because I end up feeling guilty for not being able to maintain all the things I said I would do, probably because I wasn't truly doing them for myself, but to generate a perception of success to others. So now, the new year is about celebrating what I've done in the last year and if I plan to make changes in my life, it comes from a realistic place of care and compassion, at a time when I have the resources to do it and I continue to strive to make them realistic!"
As the Year of Young People draws to a close, what have you learned from the Foolish Optimism project?
"This project has illustrated the power of young people more than ever all over Scotland, from here in Dundee all the way to the islands of Barra and Uist, by contributing to a national conversation with confidence to talk about difficult subjects from personal experience, challenging stigma from every angle and raising the profile of this area in health.
"It's been a fantastic and challenging project to be involved with and I'd like to thank everyone who's organised and hosted the many roadshows we have held throughout Scotland. It is, however, not over because the major learn from this project is that young people continue to say that this work must continue. That is absolutely a fact. And we must continue to push forward."

A century ago, the solution to such problems — and the path to efficient, effective governance — seemed clear: Remove power from partisan politicians, confer authority on appointed experts and insulate those experts from political influence so they could better serve the public interest. But for the past half-century, American politicians moved in the opposite direction, undermining the idea of government as a profession requiring training, experience and commitment to public service — a crusade that has culminated in current attacks on the so-called deep state by President Trump supporters such as White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon and Fox News host Sean Hannity.
But the political disarray across the United States and the quiet professionalism of park rangers, federal prosecutors and Foreign Service officers should remind Americans of the benefits of competent administration. Might the cure for what ails us actually be … more bureaucracy?
A hundred years ago, there was a bipartisan consensus on the notion of an expert-driven government. Reformers such as President Theodore Roosevelt envisioned a professional government made up not of politicians or lawyers, but of educated, public-spirited bureaucrats. His contemporary and rival, Woodrow Wilson, thought that administration — the day-to-day operations of governance — should lie wholly outside the sphere of politics. "Administrative questions are not political questions," Wilson asserted.
But those days are long past. Few contemporary Americans share their forebears' zest for empowering unelected experts. Contempt for bureaucrats has become one of the few places of common ground in contemporary American politics. Conservatives see bureaucracy as wasteful, corrupt interference with liberty, while liberals see it as undemocratic, elitist and vulnerable to capture by the rich and powerful.
The reliance on expertise reached its apotheosis during World War II, when government officials managed the global war effort, oversaw prodigies of production and even built the atomic bomb. That luster faded in the postwar era. During the 1960s, activists first on the left, then on the right, began to view reliance on expertise as incompatible with democratic citizenship. The popularity of President Ronald Reagan's favorite joke — "the most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help" — made clear how widespread that view had become by 1980.
Not surprisingly, then, the federal bureaucracy has been shrinking for nearly half a century. The number of executive branch employees reached its peak in 1969, and while the current total nears that level, compared to the nation's population or GDP, the federal establishment remains a shadow of its former self.
The Trump administration has taken this hostility to professional governance to the extreme, driving numerous career diplomats into early retirement, undermining the findings of its own experts at the Environmental Protection Agency and waging a rhetorical battle against the so-called deep state. But given the widespread dissatisfaction with politics-as-usual, perhaps Americans should reconsider the possibilities of government by professional experts.
A century ago, progressive administrations such as Wilson's and Roosevelt's showed that expert-driven government could be effective government. Roosevelt confidant Gifford Pinchot, one of the founders of professional forestry in the United States, worked with his father to establish America's major forestry schools. These institutions trained the nation's first generation of professional foresters, many of whom followed Pinchot — who would serve as the first chief of the U.S. Forest Service — into government service. For Pinchot, marrying dispassionate science with public power formed the prerequisite for good government and national greatness.
Pinchot's ally in Washington, Frederick Newell, built the United States Reclamation Service. An engineer by profession, Newell asserted that the "watchword of the engineer is efficiency," a belief he applied to government as well. That meant not only the optimal exploitation of the nation's resources through the erection of vast dams for irrigation, hydroelectric power and flood control, but also the efficient management of those projects by independent, scientifically-trained federal administrators. Newell sought financial as well as institutional autonomy for his agency, including an independent source of funding free from the vicissitudes of the congressional appropriations process.
These progressive civil servants touted the efficacy and integrity of bureaucracy. "Gladly and fully do they recognize their responsibilities to the American people for one of the most important trusts ever placed into the hands of a group of men in modern times," gushed one of Pinchot's men about the administration's staff.
They had a point: Consider some of the enduring accomplishments of unelected bureaucrats. The National Highway Traffic Safety Commission established rules that reduced the mortality rate on U.S. roads and improved the fuel efficiency of American vehicles. Granted authority to establish standards for emissions and dumping, the EPA has overseen remarkable improvements in water and air quality.
For half a century, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. oversaw commercial banking and mortgage lending in the United States. While regulations sometimes irked depositors (who longed for higher interest rates) and often upset lenders (who wanted to pursue riskier strategies than the regulators allowed), unelected experts stabilized the financial sector and helped underwrite decades of postwar prosperity. When Congress gave in to outside pressure and loosened the regulatory reins in the early 1980s, the savings and loans industry collapsed. Still, through that crisis and even during the Great Recession, the nation avoided bank runs and nobody lost deposits in insured accounts — real risks when these corporations were chartered in the 1930s.
To be sure, many progressive era supporters of expert governance seem naive to modern ears. It's hard for contemporary Americans to recognize bureaucrats in the descriptions of "men actuated by public spirit" in the official reports of Theodore Roosevelt's administration. Yet many lasting achievements of American public life — from environmental protection and food safety to space exploration and economic stability — resulted from a willingness to confer authority on public-spirited professionals and to insulate them from the demands of partisan competition. In this rancorous era, Americans might well reconsider the advantages of bureaucracy.

Cameras have rolled on the first scene from Batman vs. Superman -- and naturally there's video of it online already.
Remember when we told you last week that director Zack Snyder was shooting a crowd scene for his upcoming sequel to Man of Steel this past Saturday (Oct. 19) at East Los Angeles College's Weingart Stadium during halftime of that day's Huskies game?
Well, that shoot took place, and, these being the times we live in, video footage has already popped up online.
The filming involved three plays of a game between Gotham City University and Metropolis State University, which is reportedly the opening scene in the movie. None of the principal actors were involved, but Snyder apparently wanted to get the footage in the can during football season while he had access to teams, stadiums, crowds and gear (the bulk of photography is said to be starting next February for the summer 2015 release).
According to Batman-News (via Slashfilm), two scenes were filmed: The first was a tackle for a Metropolis loss of yards, but the second was a touchdown pass for Metropolis in the corner of the end zone. The final shot saw the Gotham bench clearing as a fight broke out on the field. Snyder was on a megaphone the entire time, calling the plays and cuts.
What may be most interesting about all this was that a rep for Warner Bros. Pictures told the crowd that they were going to be in a scene from Batman vs. Superman -- yes, that's how the rep referred to it, as Batman vs. Superman.
So while no official title has been revealed, we now have evidence that the studio and filmmakers may be going with Batman vs. Superman and we'll use that until otherwise notified.
Check out two different takes on the day's events below and tell us: Should they just go ahead and officially make Batman vs. Superman the title of the movie?

Each Tuesday, rather than a POSSIBLY IRRITATING ESSAY, I'd like to both challenge you and lend a helping hand. I generate more speculative and teen story ideas than I can ever use. My family rolls its collective eyes when I say, "Hang on a second! I just have to write down this idea..." Here, I'll include the initial inspiration (quote, website, podcast, etc) and then a thought or two that came to mind. These will simply be seeds -- plant, nurture, fertilize, chemically treat, irradiate, test or stress them as you see fit. I only ask if you let me know if anything comes of them.

They'd been locked in the basement for longer than either of them could remember. The windows – Natasha Reno-Pardo assumed that the boarded up, black painted rectangles near the ceiling of the basement were once windows – were impossible to open.
The permanent stairs had been removed and replaced by a heavy, steel drop-down stairs. Rudyard Bernal, her fellow captor had worked at getting those to drop from the ceiling for a whole week. He'd tried to pry them from the ceiling seven times after they woke up. The eighth time, he'd gotten a shock so bad his hands were burned. Not enough to blister the skin, but very painful.
Light came from two fluorescents set behind thick plastic. They never went out. Food and water came in bags dropped from a hole in the ceiling whenever they were both asleep.
They were trapped.
In the dim silence, not long after both of them were awake, Rudyard said, "I think we've been here a month." Then he burst out crying. Natasha looked up at the ceiling and into the corners. They knew they were being watched all the time. Once, when they'd tried to sleep together on the same pile of blankets as far from the bathroom hole as they could get, Rudyard had gotten very excited. Natasha was willing. Snakes had suddenly dropped down from the ceiling hole and the lights had gotten super bright.
They'd spent an hour sweeping the things into the hole. They'd spent most of the time fighting the rattlesnake. Neither one of them had been bitten, but they threw the blanket covered in snake guts in another corner after stomping it to death.
This day was different. Natasha stepped over the immense red door in the center of the basement floor and sat down next to Rudyard. At first he flinched and looked up at the feeding hole and muttered, "No. What are they gonna throw at us next?"
Natasha said, "We're not doing anything."
He leaned against her, cried a while longer and finally rested against her.
As if to curse their closeness a grinding sound came from the drag-down stairs. Real light leaked from a narrow crack that gradually widened, letting in more and more real light. When the stairs were half uncovered, they began to come down from the ceiling, making a sound like a descending castle drawbridge.
It thudded to the floor.
A shiny, black leather boot with a neatly cuffed pant leg dropped down on the top step…
