Version history

-   Introduced in GitLab 8.12. Further additions were made in GitLab 8.13 and 8.14.
-   Inspired by Heroku’s Review Apps, which itself was inspired by Fourchette.

Review Apps is a collaboration tool that takes the hard work out of providing an environment to showcase product changes.

Introduction

Review Apps:

-   Provide an automatic live preview of changes made in a feature branch by spinning up a dynamic environment for your merge requests.
-   Allow designers and product managers to see your changes without needing to check out your branch and run your changes in a sandbox environment.
-   Are fully integrated with the GitLab DevOps LifeCycle.
-   Allow you to deploy your changes wherever you want.

[Review Apps Workflow]

In the above example:

-   A Review App is built every time a commit is pushed to topic branch.
-   The reviewer fails two reviews before passing the third review.
-   After the review has passed, topic branch is merged into master where it is deployed to staging.
-   After having been approved in staging, the changes that were merged into master are deployed in to production.

How Review Apps work

A Review App is a mapping of a branch with an environment. Access to the Review App is made available as a link on the merge request relevant to the branch.

The following is an example of a merge request with an environment set dynamically.

[Review App in merge request]

In this example, a branch was:

-   Successfully built.
-   Deployed under a dynamic environment that can be reached by clicking on the VIEW APP button.

After adding Review Apps to your workflow, you follow the branched Git flow. That is:

1.  Push a branch and let the runner deploy the Review App based on the script definition of the dynamic environment job.
2.  Wait for the runner to build and deploy your web application.
3.  Click on the link provided in the merge request related to the branch to see the changes live.

Configuring Review Apps

Review Apps are built on dynamic environments, which allow you to dynamically create a new environment for each branch.

The process of configuring Review Apps is as follows:

1.  Set up the infrastructure to host and deploy the Review Apps (check the examples below).
2.  Install and configure a runner to do deployment.
3.  Set up a job in .gitlab-ci.yml that uses the predefined CI environment variable ${CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME} to create dynamic environments and restrict it to run only on branches. Alternatively, you can get a YML template for this job by enabling review apps for your project.
4.  Optionally, set a job that manually stops the Review Apps.

Enable Review Apps button

When configuring Review Apps for a project, you need to add a new job to .gitlab-ci.yml, as mentioned above. To facilitate this and if you are using Kubernetes, you can click the ENABLE REVIEW APPS button and GitLab will prompt you with a template code block that you can copy and paste into .gitlab-ci.yml as a starting point. To do so:

1.  Go to the project your want to create a Review App job for.
2.  From the left nav, go to OPERATIONS > ENVIRONMENTS.
3.  Click on the ENABLE REVIEW APPS button. It is available to you if you have Developer or higher permissions to that project.
4.  Copy the provided code snippet and paste it into your .gitlab-ci.yml file:

    [Enable Review Apps modal]

5.  Feel free to tune this template to your own needs.

Review Apps auto-stop

See how to configure Review Apps environments to expire and auto-stop after a given period of time.

Review Apps examples

The following are example projects that demonstrate Review App configuration:

-   NGINX.
-   OpenShift.

Other examples of Review Apps:

-   Cloud Native Development with GitLab.
-   Review Apps for Android.

Route Maps

Introduced in GitLab 8.17. In GitLab 11.5, the file links are available in the merge request widget.

Route Maps allows you to go directly from source files to public pages on the environment defined for Review Apps.

Once set up, the review app link in the merge request widget can take you directly to the pages changed, making it easier and faster to preview proposed modifications.

Configuring Route Maps involves telling GitLab how the paths of files in your repository map to paths of pages on your website using a Route Map. Once set, GitLab will display VIEW ON … buttons, which will take you to the pages changed directly from merge requests.

To set up a route map, add a file inside the repository at .gitlab/route-map.yml, which contains a YAML array that maps source paths (in the repository) to public paths (on the website).

Route Maps example

The following is an example of a route map for Middleman, a static site generator (SSG) used to build GitLab’s website, deployed from its project on GitLab.com:

    # Team data
    - source: 'data/team.yml'  # data/team.yml
      public: 'team/'  # team/

    # Blogposts
    - source: /source\/posts\/([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})-(.+?)\..*/  # source/posts/2017-01-30-around-the-world-in-6-releases.html.md.erb
      public: '\1/\2/\3/\4/'  # 2017/01/30/around-the-world-in-6-releases/

    # HTML files
    - source: /source\/(.+?\.html).*/  # source/index.html.haml
      public: '\1'  # index.html

    # Other files
    - source: /source\/(.*)/  # source/images/blogimages/around-the-world-in-6-releases-cover.png
      public: '\1'  # images/blogimages/around-the-world-in-6-releases-cover.png

Mappings are defined as entries in the root YAML array, and are identified by a - prefix. Within an entry, there is a hash map with two keys:

-   source
    -   A string, starting and ending with ', for an exact match.
    -   A regular expression, starting and ending with /, for a pattern match:
        -   The regular expression needs to match the entire source path - ^ and $ anchors are implied.
        -   Can include capture groups denoted by () that can be referred to in the public path.
        -   Slashes (/) can, but don’t have to, be escaped as \/.
        -   Literal periods (.) should be escaped as \..
-   public, a string starting and ending with '.
    -   Can include \N expressions to refer to capture groups in the source regular expression in order of their occurrence, starting with \1.

The public path for a source path is determined by finding the first source expression that matches it, and returning the corresponding public path, replacing the \N expressions with the values of the () capture groups if appropriate.

In the example above, the fact that mappings are evaluated in order of their definition is used to ensure that source/index.html.haml will match /source\/(.+?\.html).*/ instead of /source\/(.*)/, and will result in a public path of index.html, instead of index.html.haml.

After you have the route mapping set up, it will take effect in the following locations:

-   In the merge request widget. The:
    -   VIEW APP button will take you to the environment URL set in .gitlab-ci.yml.
    -   Dropdown will list the first 5 matched items from the route map, but you can filter them if more than 5 are available.

        [View app file list in merge request widget]

-   In the diff for a merge request, comparison, or commit.

    ["View on env" button in merge request diff]

-   In the blob file view.

    ["View on env" button in file view]

Visual Reviews

Version history

-   Introduced in GitLab Starter 12.0.
-   It’s deployed behind a feature flag, enabled by default.
-   It’s enabled on GitLab.com.
-   For GitLab self-managed instances, GitLab administrators can opt to disable it.

With Visual Reviews, members of any team (Product, Design, Quality, and so on) can provide feedback comments through a form in your review apps. The comments are added to the merge request that triggered the review app.

Using Visual Reviews

After Visual Reviews has been configured for the Review App, the Visual Reviews feedback form is overlaid on the right side of every page.

[Visual review feedback form]

To use the feedback form to make a comment in the merge request:

1.  Click the REVIEW tab on the right side of a page.
2.  Make a comment on the visual review. You can make use of all the Markdown annotations that are also available in merge request comments.
3.  Enter your personal information:
    -   If data-require-auth is true, you must enter your personal access token.
    -   Otherwise, enter your name, and optionally your email.
4.  Click SEND FEEDBACK.

To see Visual reviews in action, see the Visual Reviews Walk through.

Configure Review Apps for Visual Reviews

The feedback form is served through a script you add to pages in your Review App. If you have Developer permissions to the project, you can access it by clicking the REVIEW button in the PIPELINE section of the merge request. The form modal will also show a dropdown for changed pages if route maps are configured in the project.

[review button]

The provided script should be added to the <head> of your application and consists of some project and merge request specific values. Here’s how it looks for a project with code hosted in a project on GitLab.com:

    <script
      data-project-id='11790219'
      data-merge-request-id='1'
      data-mr-url='https://gitlab.com'
      data-project-path='sarah/review-app-tester'
      data-require-auth='true'
      id='review-app-toolbar-script'
      src='https://gitlab.com/assets/webpack/visual_review_toolbar.js'>
    </script>

Ideally, you should use environment variables to replace those values at runtime when each review app is created:

-   data-project-id is the project ID, which can be found by the CI_PROJECT_ID variable.
-   data-merge-request-id is the merge request ID, which can be found by the CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID variable. CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID is available only if only: [merge_requests] is used and the merge request is created.
-   data-mr-url is the URL of the GitLab instance and will be the same for all review apps.
-   data-project-path is the project’s path, which can be found by CI_PROJECT_PATH.
-   data-require-auth is optional for public projects but required for private and internal ones. If this is set to true, the user will be required to enter their personal access token instead of their name and email.
-   id is always review-app-toolbar-script, you don’t need to change that.
-   src is the source of the review toolbar script, which resides in the respective GitLab instance and will be the same for all review apps.

For example, in a Ruby application with code hosted on in a project GitLab.com, you would need to have this script:

    <script
      data-project-id="ENV['CI_PROJECT_ID']"
      data-merge-request-id="ENV['CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID']"
      data-mr-url='https://gitlab.com'
      data-project-path="ENV['CI_PROJECT_PATH']"
      id='review-app-toolbar-script'
      src='https://gitlab.com/assets/webpack/visual_review_toolbar.js'>
    </script>

Then, when your app is deployed via GitLab CI/CD, those variables should get replaced with their real values.

Determining merge request ID

The visual review tools retrieve the merge request ID from the data-merge-request-id data attribute included in the script HTML tag used to add the visual review tools to your review app.

After determining the ID for the merge request to link to a visual review app, you can supply the ID by either:

-   Hard-coding it in the script tag via the data attribute data-merge-request-id of the app.
-   Dynamically adding the data-merge-request-id value during the build of the app.
-   Supplying it manually through the visual review form in the app.

Enable or disable Visual Reviews

Visual Reviews is deployed behind a feature flag that is ENABLED BY DEFAULT. GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console can opt to disable it.

To disable it:

    Feature.disable(:anonymous_visual_review_feedback)

To enable it:

    Feature.enable(:anonymous_visual_review_feedback)

Authentication for Visual Reviews

To enable visual reviews for private and internal projects, set the data-require-auth variable to true. When enabled, the user must enter a personal access token with api scope before submitting feedback.

This same method can be used to require authentication for any public projects.

Limitations

Review App limitations are the same as environments limitations.

question: What does the text say about review apps?

answer: Review apps provide an automatic live preview of changes made in a feature branch by spinning up a dynamic environment for your merge requests. It allows designers and product managers to see your changes without needing to check out your branch and run your changes in a sandbox environment as well as allow you to deploy changes wherever you want.

question: What does the text say about Route Maps?

answer: Route maps allow you to go directly from source files to the public pages on the environment defined for review apps. Since review apps are fully integrated GitLab, configuring route maps involves telling it how the paths of files in your repository map to paths of pages on your website. Mappings are entries in the root YAML array and are identified by the "a -" prefix.

question: What does the text say about Visual Reviews?

answer: With visual reviews, members of any team can provide feedback comments through a form in review apps.

question: What does the text say about the authentication of visual reviews?

answer: In order to enable visual reviews for private and internal projects, set the data-require-auth variable to true. When enabled, the user must enter a personal access token before they can submit feedback.

[Feeling Good Summary]

The Book in One Sentence

-   You can change your moods by learning how to restructure your negative thoughts.

The Five Big Ideas

1.  Your moods are created by your thoughts.
2.  Thoughts that are dominated by pervasive negativity cause depression.
3.  The negative thoughts which cause depression nearly always contain gross, cognitive distortions.
4.  There are 10 cognitive distortions that twist your thinking.
5.  The most usual mental distortion to look out for when you are feeling worthless is all-or-nothing thinking.

Feeling Good Summary

Cognitive therapy is founded on three principles:

1.  Your moods are created by your “cognitions,” or thoughts.” A cognition refers to the way you look at things— your perceptions, mental attitudes, and beliefs. It includes the way you interpret things— what you say about something or someone to yourself. You feel the way you do right now because of the thoughts you are thinking at this moment.
2.  When you are feeling depressed, your thoughts are dominated by pervasive negativity.
3.  The negative thoughts which cause your emotional turmoil nearly always contain gross distortions. Although these thoughts appear valid, they are irrational or just plain wrong, and that twisted thinking is a major cause of your suffering.

“Every bad feeling you have is the result of distorted negative thinking. Illogical pessimistic attitudes play the central role in the development and continuation of all your symptoms.”

“Every time you feel depressed about something, try to identify a corresponding negative thought you had just prior to and during the depression. Why? Because these thoughts have actually created your bad mood, by learning to restructure them, you can change your mood.”

“Your emotions result entirely from the way you _look_ at things.”

[The Relationship Between The World and The Way You Feel from Feeling Good]
The Relationship Between The World and The Way You Feel.

Cognitive Distortions

-   ALL-OR-NOTHING THINKING. You evaluate your personal qualities in extreme, black-or-white categories. All-or-nothing thinking forms the basis for perfectionism. It causes you to fear any mistake or imperfection because you will then see yourself as a complete loser. This makes you feel inadequate and worthless. The technical name for this type of perceptual error is “dichotomous thinking.”

-   OVERGENERALIZATION. You arbitrarily conclude that one thing that happened to you once will occur over and over again. The pain of rejection is generated almost entirely from overgeneralization.

-   MENTAL FILTER. You pick out a negative detail in any situation and dwell on it exclusively, thus perceiving that the whole situation is negative. When you are depressed, you wear a pair of eyeglasses with special lenses that filter out anything positive. All that you allow to enter your conscious mind is negative. Because you are not aware of this “filtering process,” you conclude that _everything_ is negative. The technical name for this process is “selective abstraction.” It is a bad habit that can cause you to suffer much needless anguish.

-   DISQUALIFYING THE POSITIVE. You transform neutral or even positive experiences into negative ones. Burns calls this, “reverse alchemy.” Disqualifying the positive is one of the most destructive forms of cognitive distortion.

-   JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS. When you jump to conclusions, you arbitrarily jump to a negative conclusion that is not justified by the facts of the situation. Two examples of jumping to conclusion are “mind reading” and “the fortune teller error.”
    -   MIND READING. You assume that other people look down on you, and you’re so convinced about this that you don’t even bother to check it out.

    -   FORTUNE TELLING. You imagine something bad is about to happen, and take this prediction as a fact even though it is unrealistic.

-   MAGNIFICATION AND MINIMIZATION. When you magnify, you look at your errors, fears, or imperfections and exaggerate their importance. This has also been called “catastrophizing” because you turn commonplace negative events into nightmarish monsters. When you minimize, you inappropriately shrink things until they appear tiny such as your own desirable qualities or others’ imperfections. This is also called the “binocular trick”.

-   EMOTIONAL REASONING. You take your emotions as evidence for the truth. Your logic: “I feel like a dud, therefore I am a dud.” This kind of reasoning is misleading because your feelings reflect your thoughts and beliefs.

-   SHOULD STATEMENTS. You try to motivate yourself by saying, “I should do this” or “I must do that.”

-   LABELING AND MISLABELING. Labeling refers to your tendency to create a completely negative self-image based on your errors. Mislabeling refers to your tendency to describe an event with words that are inaccurate and emotionally heavily loaded.

-   PERSONALIZATION. You assume responsibility for a negative event when there is no basis for doing so.

“Your thoughts create your emotions; therefore, your emotions cannot prove that your thoughts are accurate.”

Dr. Aaron Beck said a depressed self-image can be characterized by the four D’s:

1.  Defeat
2.  Defection
3.  Desertion
4.  Deprivation

“Only your own sense of self-worth determines how you feel.”

“The most usual mental distortion to look out for when you are feeling worthless is all-or-nothing thinking.”

How to Boost Self-Esteem

1. TALK BACK TO THAT INTERNAL CRITIC

1.  Train yourself to recognize and write down the self-critical thoughts as they go through your mind;
2.  Learn why these thoughts are distorted; and
3.  Practice talking back to them so as to develop a more realistic self-evaluation system.

2. USE “THE TRIPLE-COLUMN TECHNIQUE”

“When you have a negative thought, ask yourself, “What thoughts are going through my mind right now? What am I saying to myself? Why is this upsetting me?”

[The Triple Column Technique]
The Triple Column Technique.

3. USE MENTAL BIOFEEDBACK

“Monitor your negative thoughts with a wrist counter. Click the button each time a negative thought crosses your mind. Then, at the end of the day, note your daily score and write it down in a log book.”

Notes Cont.

“When you are down on yourself, ask what you actually mean when you try to define your true identity with a negative label such as ‘a fool,’ ‘a sham,’ ‘a stupid dope,’ etc.”

“Once you begin to pick destructive labels apart, you will find they are arbitrary and meaningless. They actually cloud the issue, creating confusion and despair. Once rid of them, you can define and cope with any real problems that exist.”

When you are upset:

1.  Zero in on those automatic negative thoughts and write them down;
2.  Read over the list of ten cognitive distortions. Learn precisely how you are twisting things and blowing them out of proportion; and
3.  Substitute a more objective thought that puts the lie to the one which made you look down on yourself.

“Your feelings result from the meaning you give to the event, not from the event itself.”

[]

Editor’s Note

Burns quotes Stoic philosopher Epictetus at the beginning of the book: “Men are disturbed not by things, but by the views which they take of things.”

To learn more about Epictetus, and in particular, Stoicism, I recommend reading, _A Guide to The Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy_ by William B. Irvine.

“Irrational should statements rest on your assumption that you are _entitled_ to instant gratification at all times.”

The following two guidelines will help you to determine when your anger is productive and when it is not.

1.  Is my anger directed toward someone who has knowingly, intentionally, and unnecessarily acted in a hurtful manner?
2.  Is my anger useful? Does it help me achieve a desired goal or does it simply defeat me?

“If you have a ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ rule that has been causing you disappointment and frustration, rewrite it in more realistic terms.

Replace ‘should’ with ‘it would be nice if.’”

“You’re not entitled to get what you want just because you want it.”

“Remorse or regret are aimed at behavior, whereas guilt is targeted toward the ‘self.’”

“Sadness is a normal emotion created by realistic perceptions that describe a negative event involving loss or disappointment in an undistorted way. Depression is an illness that _always_ results from thoughts that are distorted in some way.”

“When a genuinely negative event occurs, your emotions will be created exclusively by your thoughts and perceptions. Your feelings will result from the meaning you attach to what happens. A substantial portion of your suffering will be due to the _distortions_ in your thoughts. When you eliminate these distortions, you will find that coping with the ‘real problem’ will become less painful.”

“Although your distorted negative thoughts will be substantially reduced or entirely eliminated after you have recovered from a bout of depression, there are certain ‘silent assumptions’ that probably still lurk in your mind. These silent assumptions explain in large part _why you_ became depressed in the first place and can help you predict _when_ you might again be vulnerable.”

“A silent assumption is an equation with which you define your personal worth. It represents your value system, your personal philosophy, the stuff on which you base your self-esteem.”

If you feel moody, choose an activity, and instead of aiming for 100 percent, try for 80 percent, 60 percent, or 40 percent. Then see how much you enjoy the activity and how productive you become.

“You are wrong in your belief that suicide is the only solution or the best solution to your problem.”

“When you think that you are trapped and hopeless, your thinking is illogical, distorted, and skewed.”

“Nearly all suicidal patients have in common an illogical sense of hopelessness and the conviction they are facing an insoluble dilemma. Once you expose the distortions in your thinking, you will experience considerable emotional relief.”

“Your feelings of hopelessness and total despair are just _symptoms_ of depressive illness, not facts.”
Burns lets the following rule of thumb guide him: People who _feel_ hopeless _neveractually_ are hopeless.

question: What is the central thesis of the text?

answer: The text is about cognitive therapy, which focuses on identifying cognitive distortions that lead to depressive thoughts. The method rests on the claim that depression is caused by the negative thoughts we have and that it can be resolved through a critical examination of that negativity. The text offers a brief description of the kinds of distortions that form negative thoughts and offers a few methods to combat them.

[Find an Emergency Dentist Right Now]

Why call an emergency dentist?

A lot of people would argue that there really is no need for an emergency dentist because you can always go to your trusted dentist the next day. While initially a do-it-yourself plan of action may be warranted, such as rinsing the mouth out with salt water in order to sooth some of the inflamed tooth area, or taking an over-the-counter pain medication, the problem with dental emergencies is that just like any other unforeseen event, you can’t prepare for it. You just never know, and it can strike at any given time without warning.

If for example you’re on vacation or out of town and a tooth gets damaged say from a fall, a sporting accident, or maybe just from biting on something hard, an emergency dentist can come in handy because the chances of restoration are best when the tooth is replaced or fixed within the first hour or couple of hours.

Also, as any person who has experienced a terrible tooth ache before can attest, dental pain can bring you to your knees: you won’t be able to eat, sleep, or even think straight. Knowing where to go or look for a dental specialist is the key to solving this important health concern, and that’s exactly what we provide at DentistPhone. Since there’s no such thing as an “emergency room” for tooth pain, the next best thing is to have access to highly-experienced emergency dental practitioners 24/7/365. Upon calling our emergency line, once you’ve requested for a dental appointment, a skilled emergency dentist closest to your location will assist you on the same day to alleviate your discomfort.

Jesse

Many of you know Elvis Presley. You may also have been made aware he had a twin brother named Jesse who died at birth.  I’m here to tell you not only of that inaccuracy but to blow the lid on the world’s best kept secret. This is Jesse’s story…

I remember losing feeling in my fingertips.  My feet were on a solid rock wedge but my hands could no longer pull me further up the mountain...the mountain they call Island Peak. This mountain is the tallest mountain of all the Himalayas and I, Teddy Drummond, sought to climb it in search of "the greatest mystery of the world". At least that's how I imagined Inje my Nepali mountain guide saying it, when he said "yaha harekchijko bhuktani garnuhunchha"...but I digress.

This wasn't the  blizzard from hell I was told would be raining down on me once I was close to the top. This was much worse. My mind kept drifting to rolling in bed with my wife and smelling the fabric of her shirt. Only her feet were much colder than they were before. Like really cold. That wedge I thought my feet were on turned out to be a block of ice that morphed around my boots. Death was reclining on my Lazy-Boy and I was its lap dog. With each stroke of his hand on my skin, a more powerful gust of snowy hail on my face, torso and legs. When the worst was upon me, an arm reached down and grabbed my backpack to heave me over the top of the peak.

"You looked like you needed a lift".

I was rescued by a...im going to say it...a beautiful man. I find him hard to describe without dishing out adjectives a woman might describe him as. He was tall, rosy cheeks and a curl of his lip when he smiled. If it weren't for the snow, on a clear day I just may have seen an actual twinkle in his eye. His rather...familiar eye. Where have I seen him before? I carried on with my hero towards a temple where he told me he lived with others.

"Say, I go by Civil here whats your name man?"

"Teddy. Teddy Drummond of the Washington Coast"

"Huh?"

"The Washington Coast? The specific Pacific? The satirical...oh that's not important. What is this place?"

"I guess I should ask you what  in Gods pure, Holy, sacred Earth were you doin climbing that mountain?"

"I was told something in Nepali and I hadn't eaten for a while and I may have mistranslated what my guide told me, I'm a little embarrassed".

"Well what did he tell you?"

"yaha harekchijko bhuktani garnuhunchha".

"Haha man your guide sure has a sense of...haha it don't matter come meet the others of the Sediment"

"The Sandy what?"

"The sediment. That's what we go by in here. See Sedimentary rock, or sedimentation is the process that allows a collection particles and minerals to settle in place. That's what we all have in common here. We left a crazy life to come here and just be..to just relax and..settle in place"

"Well I don't want to impose here but thank you for rescuing me, thank you very much"

"Hey man, that was my line"

Then it hit me. But it couldn't be. This man that pulled me from the jaws of death was...Elvis Presley! He referred to himself as Civil..of course Elvis backwards is Sivle..this is what Inje must have meant I wasn't crazy after all! The King of Rock n Roll is alive! I had to talk to him and ask him how he's still...so young?

"Excuse me Civil? I couldn't help but notice...

"That I'm Elvis Presley? Well I was at one time but I left him behind in 55', been here ever since"

"But you couldn't have been here since then, you were still performing all the way until 1975"

"Do you remember what happened when I turned 23?"

"Of course it was a media frenzy you were drafted in the war, you made it all the way to sergeant in the army and you came back to have an amazing career"

"Wrong. Well I did come back to the states but what I saw and heard at war changed me. My manager heard me sing Love me Tender in rehearsal and knew I wasn't the same guy. But the world needed Elvis. Or "an" Elvis"

"Oh my God...your twin...but he..."

"While I was in the Army I went everywhere, saw every thing. I got a letter from my mom, telling me how she never had no money and when she found out she was having twins, she couldn't tell the town she was giving one up. Back then a dead baby meant sympathetic financial support from the town to raise me".

"What happened to.."

"She gave him up, private adoption. Got a letter said last she'd heard he was with his family in Nepal. I only ever told my manager, whom after hearing me sing back from war, concocted this plan of pulling the whole switcheroo"

"So this whole time the world was in love with..

"Jesse...that's right. Turns out the whole ordeal of his birth mom giving him up and being shunned from the world caused him to do a lot of drugs and alcohol later in life. He died way too young"

"How have you preserved yourself like this you look as flawless as your first hip thrust on the Ed Sullivan show"

"There's this elderberry that grows about 11 miles down that road, we mix it with mostly everything we eat. I would see my brother get older but I never really noticed I wasn't keeping pace until about 20 years ago"

"What happened then?"

"I gotta go man, the sediment gets angry if I miss mid day hot yoga, take care of yourself teddy".

And with that shoulder smack, I was sent rushing back to my body..on the ground at the bottom of the mountain.

"You took quite a fall Mr Drummond but you'll be ok".

I was being carried to an ambulance, oxygen mask on, foggy vision, the works. I may make it up that mountain again but for now, I think I'll just "settle" for another story to write for the Washington Coast...

title: [MF] Jesse

question: Summarize Teddy Drummond's out-of-body experiences while he was out cold.

answer: Teddy Drummond was trying to climb a mountain called the Island Peak in the Himalayas. He sought to climb it in search of the greatest mystery in the world as well as to find a story to write for a newspaper. However, while climbing he fell, dislocating his shoulder, and was out cold. While he was out, he experienced being rescued by Elvis Pressley who called himself Civil. Elvis looked quite young and confessed to eating some elderberry which contributed to his youthfulness. He also told Teddy that he had been on the Island Peak since he was 23 and that the person who posed as Elvis all these years was actually his brother, Jesse.

question: Does Teddy Drummond really believe what he saw while he was unconscious?

Personal life

Saruta was born in Kawaguchi, Saitama, Japan. Saruta was active in extracurricular activities in his youth, but had a focus on gymnastics. He wanted to be an Olympic athlete for his country of Japan, but would not realize that goal.

Between August 2011 and April 2013, Saruta had his first-ever winning streak. He won five consecutive bouts in Shooto with two submissions and a knockout during the run. During this run, he won the Shooto Infinity Bantamweight tournament, with a majority decision win over Masumi Tozawa.[11] This would earn him a title shot versus Ryuichi Miki. Their first bout ended in a draw, and their second in a unanimous decision loss for Saruta.[12] After early failed attempts at winning Shooto titles, Saruta moved to Tokyo and changed camps to begin training with Wajutsu Keishukai Hearts.

After an up-and-down stretch that saw Saruta go 3-4-1, the Japanese fighter began another five-match unbeaten streak that would lead to a flyweight title shot against Ryuto Sawada. On October 15, 2017, Saruta defeated Sawada by knockout in the fourth round to capture the Shooto flyweight championship.[13] Following that, he achieved a decision win over Kiyotaka Shimizu and defended his title against Itchaku Murata, winning by way of TKO.

There are many indications that ISIS, or ISIS-inspired entities, are looking to renew their armed insurgency in the Philippines. As is typically the case, wherever ISIS goes, the US military is not too far behind.

Not many people will be aware that aside from the fact that peace-prize-laureate Barack Obama was bombing at least seven predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East at any given time during his presidency, he was also secretly drone-bombing the Philippines, as well. Obama's drone campaign, of course, was widely regarded as one of the most effective recruitment tool for groups like ISIS (incidentally, a group now growing from strength to strength in the Philippines).

In fact, Operation Enduring Freedom Philippines, launched not long after the September 11 attacks rocked the United States in 2001 (and ending in 2014), is considered the largest US counterterrorism effort in the Pacific theater.

When an ISIS-inspired insurgency in the Philippines made headlines last year, the US military assisted the country's authorities in its crackdown not long after. Shockingly enough, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte did not actually expressly authorize America's renewed involvement in its country, having long signaled a greater desire to turn away from the United States and focus more on rebuilding relationships with rising giants Russia and China.

This paradigm which sees Duterte saying one thing while the Philippines' military continues to do another can be seen even to the present day. Not too long ago, the US gifted six Boeing Insitu ScanEagle drones to the Philippines (for free), approved via a US grant of over $13 million. At around the same time, Duterte was making announcements of his own, independent of these transactions, stating that he would not allow Filipino troops to be dragged into any more US-led wars unless there is a direct threat against the Philippines. He even stated that his country had received nothing from _"all these years of sacrifice"_ on behalf of the United States other than _"brutality and agony."_

It appears that Duterte would prefer any means of battling extremism in his country other than relying on the US military. He even suggested arming civilians with "high-powered guns" – a strategy far too wild for even someone like Donald Trump.

US-Philippines Relationship Endures

From America's point of view, however, the US-Philippines relationship continues unabated, and is growing stronger as time goes on.

_"The Philippines and United States governments remain steadfast in their alliance and are committed to countering radicalization and violent extremism in the Philippines and Southeast Asia,"_ Marine Lt. Pentagon spokesman Col. Christopher Logan stated at the end of last year, according to the _Military Times_. _"To support these efforts, and at the request of the government of the Philippines, we have enhanced our comprehensive counterterrorism cooperation that supports the Philippine Security Forces."_

Over the past eight years, the US has allegedly spent over $1 billion in foreign assistance to the Philippines, including over $85 million in counterterrorism related equipment, training and support to local forces.

Conveniently for the US, always itching to intervene in countries that maintain undeniable geopolitical significance, ISIS and other ISIS-inspired groups are beginning to regather their momentum in the country, which in turn will require a response of its own.

Not only are there now reportedly 23 armed groups inside the country operating under the banner of _"ISIS Philippines,"_ but the US State Department also added ISIS Philippines and six other Islamist extremist groups to the US list of designated terrorists in February this year.

Not to mention that in mid-March, fighting broke out between the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), reportedly killing at least 44 militants in the process. This group has also pledged its allegiance to ISIS, and if the media and the military are to be believed, this group did not actually engage the military in this particular scenario but were in fact pounced upon by the AFP on the southern island of Mindanao.

As ISIS is driven out of its caliphate in Iraq and Syria, reports have already emerged that these foreign fighters are arriving in the Philippines with the intent of recruiting and attacking Filipino towns. At the end of February this year, Philippines military officials warned that ISIS had gathered a small force of approximately 200 fighters in Mindanao with the aim of establishing its new caliphate, which would then be used as a launch pad for further attacks inside the country.

How on earth did ISIS establish itself in the Philippines?

There are two answers to this important question. The first one involves a much-needed historical review of the Philippines and its long endured battle against different colonial powers.

Last year, the main entity battling Philippines' forces was not actually ISIS, but was a group known as the Maute. The Maute is composed of former Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) guerrillas as well as foreign fighters. The MILF movement actually evolved out of a separatist movement with the intention of establishing an independent Islamic state for the Filipino Muslim minority, who has endured centuries of clashes with the Spanish, American, and Philippines governments that have done nothing but oppress and marginalize them. According to one Muslim separatist, if the Philippines does not allow Muslim areas greater autonomy, the fighting is likely to continue to rock the Philippines for some time.

[How Iraq War destabilized the world and why the neocons aren't finished yet ]

The second answer involves the wider geopolitical struggle taking place inside the Middle East. There are at least 1,200 Southeast Asians that have joined ISIS' ranks in the wider Middle East region, including at least 200 Filipinos.

One WikiLeaks cable described how, already known to the authorities, the Philippines has what is regarded as _"lax"_ border control, particularly in Mindanao's southern backdoor, enabling _"criminals and terrorist financiers to come and go with impunity."_

Another WikiLeaks cable details how Philippines officials were concerned about Saudi-origin terrorist financing coming into the Philippines. One other WikiLeaks cable affirmed Saudi businessmen were involved in concealing the transfer of Al-Qaeda funding to the infamous Abu Sayyaf Group, which is responsible for the largest terrorist attack on Philippines soil in recent history.

Of course, we already know that Saudi Arabia has for years spent billions of dollars_"investing heavily in building mosques, madrasas, schools, and Sunni cultural centers across the Muslim world,"_ according to The Week. One separatist explained how in the Philippines, these madrasas are then used to teach young Muslims an extremist interpretation of the Koran.

We also know from Hillary Clinton’s leaked emails that Saudi Arabia is one of ISIS' prime sponsors. Not to mention that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman just publicly admitted that Saudi Arabia did indeed knowingly spread Wahhabism – the same strain of Islam that ISIS uses to hold the entire Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia to ransom with – but what we did not know was that this was done at the request of Saudi Arabia's Western allies in order to counter the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

A Hidden Agenda?

ISIS has a long history of travelling to places the US is vying to bomb. In Syria, the Obama administration used the pretext of ISIS' rise to power as a means of gaining backdoor access to bomb Syrian territory, having previously been denied this opportunity in 2013. Within Iraq and Syria, the US allowed ISIS to move from place to place freely, up until it decided the jihadists had landed at a location the US was happy to reclaim for themselves. For those of you who don't believe this, consider that the US granted safe passageway to thousands of ISIS fighters fleeing Raqqa so that they could travel on to Deir ez-Zor, Syria's most oil rich region. The US military is now refusing to leave Deir ez-Zor, even bombing pro-government forces that get too close to comfort (the territory after all belongs to Syria, not the US and its allies on the ground).

[Russian warships dock in Philippines on goodwill visit, look forward to joint drills]

If the US has ulterior motives, or has any hand in allowing ISIS to regain and regroup inside the Philippines as has been the case in Iraq and Syria, we can be sure that the real issue lies with the Philippines' growing fondness for Russia and China; as well as Duterte's defiant attitude towards Washington, who even invited the CIA to assassinate him at one point. For example, in October last year, three Russian warships, including two anti-submarine vessels arrived in Manila to unload weaponry and military vehicles also donated to the Philippines from Russia.

These types of developments are a deal-breaker for the United States, who wants a unipolar world in which it can rely on its allies to contain and counter both Russia and China (in turn, these allies are to rely on the US for military support only). As the world moves on and becomes more and more sick and tired of American foreign policy, even the United States' more traditional allies are finding a soft spot of their own for the growing prowess of the Eastern bloc, as America's influence continues to diminish.

Netflix has denied rumors it is building a game streaming service to align with its video content.

According to Tech Radar, Netflix struck a deal with Telltale Games to offer simple video games on the subscription service. But in an update to the story, the movie and TV-streaming juggernaut dismissed the notion and said it has no plans to get into gaming.

"We don't have any plans to get into gaming," Netflix told Tech Radar. "There's a broad spectrum of entertainment available today. Games have become increasingly cinematic, but we view this as interactive narrative storytelling on our service."

Netflix says it has no plans to offer game streaming.Mike Blake/Reuters
Telltale Games is best known for developing content in a similar style to television shows. "Episodes" are released regularly, such as for its _Walking Dead_ game which has had three main "seasons." It has also developed games based on _Batman_, _Game of Thrones_ and _Guardians of the Galaxy_.

Netflix did confirm its partnership with _Minecraft_ would make its way to the service this fall.

"We can confirm Minecraft: Story Mode is a licenses five-episode interactive narrative series. It's an extension of our other interactive stories we have on our service like Stretch Armstrong: The Breakout, Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale and Buddy Thunderstruck: The Maybe Pile."

Despite Netflix not pursuing a game streaming platform, some of its exclusive content is heading the other way. Telltale Games announced Wednesday that it was developing a video game based on hit TV thriller _Stranger Things_.

Season 3 of _Stranger Things_ has not been given a release date, but star actor David Harbour (police chief Jim Hopper) told Variety that fans should not expect the show's return until 2019.

Streaming games is not a new concept. In 2014, Sony launched PlayStation Now and for a subscription fee, gamers can go back through catalogues of old games and play them again. The service was originally available on the PlayStation consoles, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation TV, Sony Bravia televisions, Samsung televisions and Sony Blu-ray players.

In February 2017, its compatibility was scaled back to just the PlayStation 4 and PCs.

Xbox runs a similar service called Game Pass that gives access to more than 100 games for $9.99. It works slightly different, however, since subscribers have to download the games in full before playing them.

question: Why won't Netflix get into gaming?

answer: According to them, contemporary games tell stories, and the media Netflix already provides does this as well.

question: What's a relatively easy way to play old games one might not have in their possession?

answer: Through some streaming services, you can access older games with a subscription.

question: What has long been an issue with the shareability of games?

answer: Compatibility- different games only work on specific systems.

question: How might streaming services that offer subscriptions better serve contemporary players?

answer: You don't have to go out and purchase each type of consul separately and procure the corresponding games in their physical form.

Amazon Prime Day has become the start of the busy back-to-school shopping season

 Amazon

Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime Day shopping event has become the kickoff to the important back-to-school season as shoppers increasingly go online for deals, a RetailMeNot survey shows.

Data from RetailMeNot found that 84% of retailers now consider the period around Prime Day the most important time for online sales during the back-to-school season.

Prime Day will take place over 48 hours from July 15 to July 16 this year.

“With the back-to-school shopping season starting with Prime Day, all retailers have an opportunity to capture early sales by participating in Prime-related promotions,” said Michelle Skupin, RetailMeNot’s senior director of marketing and communications, in a statement.

Other peak shopping days are the first weekend in August and Labor Day weekend.

Shoppers are expected to spend an average of $507 for back-to-school, up from $465 last year.

RetailMeNot data shows that more than two-thirds of those shopping on Amazon during Prime Day will also head to other retailers. Parents will visit an average of 11 retailers throughout the Prime Day event.

Target Corp. TGT, -0.38%  , eBay Inc. EBAY, -0.93%   and Walmart Inc. WMT, +0.12%   are among the retailers that have announced deals scheduled to coincide with Prime Day. Ebay has gone so far as to offer additional discounts if the Amazon AMZN, +0.27%   site crashes.

RetailMeNot data shows that 64% of parents will shop on Prime Day this year, “nearly all” customers who shopped last year’s Prime Day event hope the experience in improved in 2019.

WATCH:Here’s how augmented reality will transform how you shop online

RetailMeNot conducted an online survey of more than 1,000 parents between April 22 and April 26.

Most back-to-school shopping still happens in brick-and-mortar locations, with data from marketing intelligence company MiQ showing that shoppers will make an average of 16 trips to stores for back-to-school items between July and September.

However an increasing amount is shifting to digital, with almost 10% of 2018 purchases, or $8 billion worth, happening digitally.

MiQ notes that back-to-school shopping is impacted by the various school start dates across the country with some regions starting well ahead of others.

A Frog, a Hobo and a Stolen Yacht

It was early summer, a soft, velvety red and orange sunset heralding dusk at last. A
warm breeze carried the smell of sea salt and the faint noise of the surf from the nearby bay. Directly across the main street from a row of small shops bearing signs declaring “luckiest bait shop in town!”, or, “cheapest and freshest fish!”, a large park opened up to the edge of a small forest. Frogs could be heard in the trees, along with a few early rising night birds. Paths curved through the trees, briefly linking up to a small playground before snaking away again and eventually disappearing into the forest. In several places along the paths benches were spaced out, and it is on one of these park benches, sheltered under a relatively low hanging tree, that our story begins.

A man of indeterminate age stirred as he slumbered uncomfortably on the bench, rolling on to his back and snorting before returning to his dreams. To hazard a guess at his age, he would be between 40 and 60, he had a long scruffy beard, with bits of leaf and dirt and other matter better left unidentified scattered throughout. Big bushy eyebrows sat firmly above heavily wrinkled and creased skin. Even in his sleep an odour of alcohol, sweat and dirt emanates from him. His clothing was all beyond repair, a thick woollen beanie pulled down over his head looking to be the newest thing he owned, with the tag still on it. Everything else was torn and fraying. His shoes barely sported any sole and the toes stuck out on his right foot.

Suddenly a frog dropped from the overhanging tree squarely onto the mans face, startling him awake. He opened his eyes to be greeted by the wide, round eyes and bright green skin of a tree frog.

“Mate! How are ya?! Ribbit! What a night to fall out of a tree!”

The scruffy hobo yelled in exclamation and fright and sat bolt upright, launching the frog off his face and into his lap.

“Ouch! Hey, ribbit, that’s simply not necessary mate!”

“Are... are.... you... are you really t – t –talking to me?” The man asked in wonder.

“Why of course I am! I’m Jope, pleasured to make your acquaintance sir! And by what might I refer to you?” Jope asked.
Still desperate to deny what he was seeing, the man stuttered as he began to speak.

“What?! Cat got your tongue mate?! Got to watch out for them bleedin’ cats! Anyway, what’s ya bleedin’ name?!”

“Mark!” the hobo blurted. “But, I don’t understand, how are you talking to me? Frogs can’t talk!”

“Well I can mate, and I’m here for a reason. I have a very important mission, a matter of life and death. And you, my dear chap, have been selected by the frog council, to assist me in my mission! It is a tremendous honour!”
Jope grinned as he told Mark this, like it was the best news one could possibly be given.

Mark was still struggling with the fact that he was now holding a conversation with a tree frog, who was claiming he, a no-hoper bum, was some important person to help with this mission. Ludicrous! Ridiculous! Never-the-less, it was happening, right now.
Not one for mincing words, Mark asked the frog exactly what the mission was.

Jope sighed and looked around the park as if searching for something to help, somewhere to start, the words to explain the terror.

“A boat has been stolen; an important boat. A yacht of epic proportions, the crown jewel of the frog-ciety we live in today. On this yacht, which is right this moment setting sail from the marina, is a drink more important than any other; a drink that brings life, a drink that takes life. If you and I do not get this boat back, and the drink on it, tonight. Then my whole family, my whole village, will die. This liquid is our life, it is what makes us sentient. Please Mark, will you help me?”

Marks face betrayed his bewilderment and dismay. He felt dismay because despite the hilarity of the situation, he knew there would be no saying no, no turning this frog away to watch his friends and family die. He looked Jope squarely in the eye and slowly nodded.

“Fantastic! Ribbit Rib Ribbit! Stupendous! Brilliant! Ribbit! Weehee!” Jope sprung at Mark and landed on his face, laying sloppy slimy frog kisses all over him. “Let’s go! Run Mark, Run! We must get to the marina!”

Still on the limits of comprehension of his current situation, Mark pushed his questions aside, picked up Jope, and started walking towards the sea.

Mark had been living on the streets for many years, and walking wasn’t new to him. The marina wasn’t too far, only about 6km and he knew it would pass under his feet before he even began to understand what was happening.

Soon they neared the marina. Throughout the trip Jope had been squirming with excitement, hopping all over Mark, clinging to him with his suction toes. But as they neared he quietened, and began to look around. It wasn’t long before he spoke up.

“We need a boat to get out to them, there take that one.”

The frog gestured to a nearby small motorboat with an outboard on it. Mark quickly climbed down without question and began untying the ropes from the jetty. No stranger to crime, often being the only way to survive, Grand Theft Boat was still a bit more than he was used to, but he took action without a word. Jope had grown on him in his hyperactive ways, and he didn’t want any of the frog-ciety to die, he must do anything to help!
Pulling the starter cord on the outboard two or three times, Mark fired the engine into life and quickly powered away from the marina, nervously expecting to hear shouts of alarm at any moment. All was quiet on the shore however as they sped away.

“So what next frog? How do you propose we find this yacht of yours?”

“Oh I know where it is!” Jope replied happily “Just follow the coastline north, we’ll see the lights soon.”

The frog wasn’t wrong, and it was only a few minutes before the lights from another boat came into view, Mark’s heart rate began to rise as they neared the stolen yacht, fearing conflict and injury, or total failure and the extinction of frog-kind. His limbs trembled with adrenaline, ready for a fight, to help Jope complete his mission.

As they pulled up alongside the yacht there was no one, frog or human, to be seen on the deck, and only a faint noise of music could be heard from below. Wasting no time, Mark grabbed the railing and pulled himself onto the deck, tensing as the boat swayed slightly with his boarding.

Jope nimbly leaped onto the yacht and loudly exclaimed “Quick! This way!”

“Shhhhhh!” whispered Mark, fearful to alert those on board.

“Oh never mind that! Come downstairs! Lets get this drink!”
Jope bounded over to a nearby hatch and disappeared inside it, Mark followed after.

Climbing down a ladder the music got louder and noises of celebration could be heard. Jope was crouched at the door to a room from which the noise was coming and waited for Mark.

Mark stepped over to the frog and pushed open the door. Jope leaped across the threshold and yelled at the top of his lungs

“Jooopes here froggies and I’m going to DIE if I don’t get a bourbon in my belly RIGHT NOW!”

Looking around the room in surprise, Mark surveyed about 15 tree frogs, all sitting around the room in groups, all sipping from alcoholic drinks. A real party atmosphere. And what was Jope talking about bourbon for? What about the drink to save frog kind?

As the pieces slowly slipped together in Marks mind he became angrier and angrier.

“Jope!” He roared, stopping all conversation and turning every pair of round froggy eyes his way. “Explain yourself! I brought you here to rescue a stolen yacht and a drink that all your frogs needed to prevent them from dying! And this seems to be some sort of party!”

Jope grinned at Mark.
“Well, mate, ya see, I just kind of stretched the truth, I needed a drink, of bourbon, badly. And I needed to get to this yacht party. You were my taxi!”

Mark scowled “So you were just using me to get across town? There is no danger to frog-ciety, there is no important mission is there?”

Jope giggled maniacally as he looked into Marks eyes.

“That’s right Marky me boy! In fact, frogs don’t talk you idiot! You’re still lying on a park bench with a frog on your face!”

By James Higgins

title: [FN] A frog, a hobo and a stolen yacht.

question: Summarize what the story says about drinks.

answer: It speaks of alcoholic drinks in two ways. First, it mentions that Mark smells of alcohol. Second, it mentions bourbon on the yacht. In the story, Mark thinks he sees frogs drinking bourbon. Then there is a drink mentioned by Jope that supposedly is needed to make and keep frogs sentient and prevent them from dying. He tells Mark that this drink has been stolen and asks him to help get it back.

question: What does the text say about how many generations of tree frogs have had the magic drink?

Blocksquare’s bounty campaign, is currently live on alpha.bounty0x.io here! Bounty hunters can start hunting down some bounties today!

[Angelo]

About Blocksquare’s Bounty Campaign

The Blocksquare Bounty Campaign consists of two different bounties and is currently live on alpha.bounty0x.io here!

Telegram Bounty Reward: 100 BST

Please tell us a little bit about your background? How did you get involved in the crypto space?

Viktor (Co-Founder & CTO) and I “discovered” Ethereum in early 2016 and we immediately saw the potentials for its applicability. We researched many use cases and verticals and started blockchain R&D at Viktor’s IT company, Medius Inc (medius.si). While learning about the technology we focused our research more and more on real estate, partially because of my personal infatuation of passive income generating commercial real estate, but mostly because it is one of the least technologically disrupted markets there is.

For those of us who aren’t familiar, please tell us about your project (problem it solves, team, background, stage of development, roadmap, etc.)

At Blocksquare we are creating a system so anyone with an internet connection will be able to buy tokens of specific commercial real estate properties and benefit from asset appreciation and passive income.

Similar to how Stripe or PayPal provide tools so e-commerce sites can easily and securely process online payments, Blocksquare is building a plug & play system of protocols, APIs and tools to process commercial real estate property tokenisation so platforms can integrate it and offer tokenized CRE deals to their user base.

We are currently working on our first pilot project. The pilot will produce a platform with basic features powered by Blocksquare that will become a publicly accessible product to showcase the Blocksquare system.

Medius, our development partner, employs a team of experienced developers allowing us to put development first, while our team gradually grows with legal, PR, communications, marketing, strategy, business development and other highly qualified individuals joining in.

As a bounty host, what types of bounties do you need completed?

We started with a bounty campaign to grow our Telegram community that we posted on Bounty0x. Next we are looking to launch a Twitter and Facebook bounty campaign.

What tips do you have for the bounty hunters that would like to complete a bounty for your company?

Get to know Blocksquare by reading various resources. We have a vibrant community and want to continue in this direction and have constructive conversations with early supporters.

How do you see the future of bounty campaigns and how can Bounty0x help?

We believe bounties are an important tool to grow an invested early community. Bounty0x as a leader should provide strategic guidance to ICOs with community growth tips.

What excites you most about the crypto space right now?

ICO concepts turning into actual MVPs and producing results
