    1. Now, do I care which one you use? No. As long as you test your code, I am happy. A professional developer should be able to work in either one of these because they essentially do the same thing: test your code.

    1. File-relative configuration Babel loads .babelrc (and .babelrc.js / .babelrc.cjs / package.json#babel) files by searching up the directory structure starting from the "filename" being compiled (limited by the caveats below). This can be powerful because it allows you to create independent configurations for subsections of a package. File-relative configurations are also merged over top of project-wide config values, making them potentially useful for specific overrides, though that can also be accomplished through "overrides".

The newest 7-Eleven location in Dallas is a lab store and an experiential testing ground, where customers can try and buy the retailer’s latest innovations in a revolutionary new store format. 7-Eleven, Inc. celebrated the grand opening of its new lab store in Dallas – and the only one in the U.S. – March 22. The store is located at the Sylvan | Thirty retail and restaurant development on Sylvan Avenue, north of Interstate 30. This location is less than two miles from the original Southland Ice House in Oak Cliff where 7-Eleven pioneered the convenience retailing concept more than 90 years ago. "Convenience retailing is light years away from the days of bread and milk being sold from ice docks in 1927, and the industry is changing at a faster rate than ever before," said Chris Tanco, 7-Eleven executive vice president and chief operating officer. "7-Eleven stays at the forefront by pushing the boundaries and being unafraid to try new things. This new lab store will serve as a place to test, learn and iterate new platforms and products to see what really resonates with customers and how we can use those learnings to influence future store designs."The lab store is also the first 7-Eleven location to incorporate the Laredo Taco Company® taqueria, and the first Laredo Taco Company location in Dallas. 7-Eleven acquired the taqueria along with Stripes® convenience stores in South Texas as part of the 1,000-store acquisition from Sunoco in 2018. Laredo Taco Company is famous in South Texas for its handmade tortillas made from scratch in stores every day as well as its popular salsa bar with on-site, daily prepared salsas, guacamole and pico de gallo. Tacos, quesadillas and plate meals include specialties not always seen in quick-serve Tex-Mex restaurants such as carne guisada, barbacoa, picadillo bistec, carnitas and breakfast tacos made with hand-cracked eggs.Some of the other innovative ideas customers will see at the new 7-Eleven lab store include: Made-to-order coffee drinks, cold-pressed juices, smoothies and agua frescas that give customers the option to customize their drinks in a full-service beverage format. Additionally, it carries novelty beverages on tap such as nitro cold brew, kombucha and organic teas. "The Cellar," an alcove dedicated to an expanded selection of wines and craft beers, with a nearby growler station that features a rotating selection of local craft beer, cider and ales on tap. At the growler station, customers can enjoy a draft of their favorite beverage with their meal onsite or fill a growler to take home. A cold treats bar with frozen yogurt, ice cream and multiple toppings Cookies, croissants and more baked-in-store daily Digital initiatives that enhance the shopping experience. Scan & Pay technology that allows customers to skip the checkout line and pay for their (non-age-restricted) purchases on their smartphones. Indoor and patio restaurant-style seating in the Laredo Taco Company portion of the store as well as bar-seating across the front windows in the retail space. Many of the new items in this 7-Eleven "innovation station" are limited-time offerings. "A lot has changed in retail and continues to change rapidly, especially the shopping experience," Tanco said. "This lab store is customer-focused and will explore new ideas that weren't even on the retail radar a few months ago."The new 7-Eleven lab store is also providing local jobs, and the company is looking for outgoing, customer-service-oriented employees for this innovative new retail-restaurant concept.

    1. Indeed, school exclusion, without these supports, can exacerbate a bad situation. In the Parkland case, the fact that Nikolas Cruz had been expelled from school may have contributed to driving an angry young man who felt isolated to take out his frustration and anger by killing students and staff at his former school. In theory, zero-tolerance policies deter students from violent or illegal behavior because the punishment for such a violation is harsh and certain. However, research shows that such policies ultimately increase illegal behavior and have negative effects on student academic achievement, attainment, welfare, and school culture.

    1. Irwin Consulting Services Review - Sådan at forblive sikker på bjerge denne vinter

      Vinter havde helt sikkert komme denne gang, og andre mennesker vil gerne fejre feriesæsonen med en vis udfordring ved at klatre op i bjergene. Der er en masse personer, der er meget glødende om udendørs aktiviteter og vinter kan være en ekstra udfordring til deres passion. Men med alle de ventures, du vil tage, vil Irwin Consulting Services gerne have, at du altid sørger for din egen sikkerhed og for andre mennesker omkring dig.

      Dine venner, kolleger eller hele familien kunne tage på forskellige aktiviteter på sneklædte bjerge, såsom snesko, skiløb, eller andre relaterede aktiviteter. Men lokale myndigheder vil gerne minde folk om at være udstyret med passende udstyr og færdigheder, før klatring for at overleve enhver uhørt begivenheder på bjergene.

      Sørg for, at stedet er sikkert og åbent, og også egnet til dit helbred eller fitness-niveau. Informer nogle slægtninge eller nære venner om placeringen af din udflugt, herunder den forventede tid og dato for din tilbagevenden samt det tilfælde, hvor de skal ringe for at få hjælp.

      Det er ofte rådes til at klatre i bjergene i en gruppe på to eller flere for at få den tilskadekomne behandlet af den anden og tage sig af ham eller hende i tilfælde af en nødsituation. Men hvis du går solo, bringe materialer, der er nødvendige for din overlevelse og altid klar til telefonen for nødsituation kontakt.

      Du ønsker ikke at blive fanget i mørke i bjergene, så bære med dig en række lyskilder, som afhænger af, hvor mange nætter og dage du planlægger at campere eller opholde sig i bjerget. Irwin Consulting Services opfordrer dig til at være fuldt forberedt til mørket, fordi det kan bringe nogle farer for dig, der er ukendte i løbet af dagslys.

      Gå ikke i panik, når du har bemærket, at du allerede er tabt, men i stedet indsamle dine tanker og holde dig varm. Redningsfolk kan ride en helikopter, så se til det, at du er synlig fra himlen. I tilfælde af at der er en hastende nødsituation ikke vente, indtil det bliver mørkt at ringe for at få hjælp. Jo tidligere jo bedre, fordi dette vil give redningsfolk mere tid til at komme ind i dig, mens solen er stadig op.

      I USA, kan du stadig nå 9-1-1 selv uden noget signal på din telefon, fordi systemet vil aktivere enhver celle tårn. Aldrig begynde et eventyr uden for dit hjem med en lav bat telefon, da du havde brug for at sikre en fuldt opladet telefon for at kontakte hjælp i tilfælde af nødsituationer. Hvis det er muligt, bringe en satellittelefon med dig, da der kan være et scenario, hvor du kan blive fanget på et sted uden celle tjeneste på alle.

      Desværre kan en lavine ske, mens du klatre en snedækket bjerg så udstyre dig selv med lavine sikkerhedsudstyr såsom en transceiver, sonde, skovl, og den viden om, hvordan man bruger dem ordentligt. For at afbøde lavine eksponering, lære at navigere gennem terrænet.

      Irwin Consulting Services forstår den lidenskab, der er i dig i at tage udfordringen af klatring sneklædte bjerge eller blot gør milde aktiviteter med hele familien denne vinter og ferie sæson, således at gruppen kun vil gerne have dig til at være forpligtet til at sikre alle andres sikkerhed i denne bestræbelse.

    1. Who is to say that robbing a people of its language is Jess violent than war? -RAY GWYN SMITH'

      This is particularly evident when examining American policies aimed at "civilizing" native peoples and remaking tribal worlds in the image of America (and by extension, England and Western civilization). A central piece of the violence the American government perpetrated against Native peoples of North America was forcing them to abandon their own languages in favor of English. In other words, "taming" the native populations of North America inherently involved the "taming" of a "wild tongue."

    1. The lady of such a professor, on being questioned by a company of ladies as to her husband's emotions at the prospect of such an enlargement of the field of science, excited a strong feeling of displeasure against herself. She could not say that he believed it, and would gladly have said nothing about it; but her inquisitive companions first cross-examined her, and then were angry at her skepticism

      Angry at Skepticism

      The Great Moon Hoax of 1835 was widely believed (see General Credulity). Similar to today, skeptics were not well liked, and the reaction to them was often anger.

    1. “Yes, I do command them, so that you may perish all the sooner for your impiety, and never again come to inquire of my oracle about giving up those that seek refuge with you.”

      1.159 Aristodikos the Cymean re-asks the Oracle at Branchidai about Pactyes and receives a direct response the god. This direct contact with the divine is a rarity in Herodotus's histories. In the conversation between the god and Aristodikos, the god reprimands Aristodikos for questioning the divine in a "how dare you even ask that question" fashion.
