1. Most unionized US rail workers now have new sick leave

More than 60% of U.S. unionized railroad workers at major railroads are now covered by new sick leave agreements, a trade group said Monday.

Last year railroads came under fire for not agreeing to paid sick leave during labor negotiations.

2. Missing teen found after being lost in the wilderness for 50 hours

Esther Wang, 16, had been hiking with three other people through the Maple Ridge park on Tuesday.

The group made it to Steve’s lookout around 2:45 p.m. that day.However, when they headed back down to the campsite, after about 15 minutes of hiking, the group leader realized Wang was missing. They returned to the lookout to look for Wang but couldn’t find her. The leader headed to the trail entrance to notify a park ranger and police.

“Esther Wang has been located. She’s healthy, she is happy and she’s with family.”

3. A dog has retrieved 155 discs from woods. They’ll be on sale soon, with proceeds going to the park in West Virginia where they were found

Meet Daisy, the yellow Labrador retriever with a unique talent for finding lost Frisbee golf discs at Grand Vue Park in West Virginia. Four years ago, while on a walk with her owner Kelly Mason, Daisy discovered a disc in the woods and proudly brought it back. Since then, Daisy's obsession with finding stray discs has grown, and she has collected an impressive cache of 155 discs.

Mason and park officials have now come up with a plan to return the discs to their owners if they are labeled, and any unclaimed discs will be sold as a fundraiser to support the park's disc golf courses. Daisy's Discs is expected to be a success, with many excited about the possibility of recovering their lost discs thanks to Daisy's remarkable skills.

4. Australian earless dragon last seen in 1969 rediscovered in secret location

A tiny earless dragon feared to be extinct in the wild has been sighted for the first time in more than 50 years – at a location that is being kept secret to help preservation efforts.

From Anne's Facebook page-

Dearest People of the Page. This is Christopher. For as long as I can remember the World Trade Center of New Orleans has anchored the foot of Canal Street. Even in my childhood it had a distinctly retro vibe, with its cross-shaped footprint and rounded observatory deck. In more recent years, it struggled to retain occupants and took on a ghostly atmosphere, a shame given its central location. Very recently the Four Seasons company renovated its interior from top to bottom, installing a new luxury hotel and high end condos on the upper floors. As part of this renovation they installed an exhibit called Vue Orleans. Visitors are greeted with a colorful, multimedia exhibit about the history of the city before express elevators whisk them high above the city to an observatory deck offering gorgeous views. Inside the first floor exhibit the novel INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE is featured as one of two novels that definitively captures the New Orleans experience. (The other is the beloved classic "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole.) I know that Anne would be deeply thrilled by this honor and my profound gratitude goes to the organizers of the exhibit. Love, Christopher Rice

The hope against a hope

"When the villain decides to speak his point of vue.

No filter, no lies, just what’s true.

They tell you I’m broken, lost in my mind,

But they never see the chains that bind.

You call me a villain, but I’m just a man,

Trapped in a system, doing what I can."psycho m.

When you are the other side in the story,

You find yourself a shadow, no glory,

An option, a choice that’s never the best,

You’ll never be their priority, their quest.

No matter what you do, you’re just not enough,

They’ll always choose the other—life’s rough.

When you are the other side in the story,

The writer makes you bear the most worry,

The misunderstood, the misjudged at every turn,

They make you sacrifice, let your soul burn.

Until you abandon your self and your worth,

Until you forget what it means to be on this Earth.

You must be the villain in their tale,

The one whose happiness must fail.

Trapped in shadows, where you belong,

You can't reach them, no matter how strong.

If you do, you’ll become the villain true,

A monster in their eyes, never to break through.

Because you're just a tool in their grand design,

A stepping stone for their rise, you’re left behind.

The writer forces you to play this part,

Makes you hunt their souls, though you wish for peace in your heart.

And when you dare to carve a future of your own,

A brighter future, to be fully grown,

To search for the sun, and erase the dark,

The writer swallows your soul, leaving a mark.

They urge you to keep trying, though you’re drowning in night,

Even as they strip away your light.

Even when the story ends,

No one reaches for your ending, no friends.

While they walk into their happily ever after,

You’re left behind, drowning in disaster—

Unseen, unheard, your story denied,

In the unknown, you’re left to hide.

But I won’t give up, I won’t stand still,

In the dark night, I’ll be the light, with will.

In a hopeless day, I’ll be the hope you seek,

In the unknown, I’ll find the strength I need to speak.

In a box, I’ll carve my wounds away,

Until I reach out for myself and find my way.

By me .

PS: I chose the title because "the" is something notices ,known and trusted but "a" stands for unknown, untrusted and not developed.

Please tell me what do you think of it.

11 Ventôse an 232 (1er mars 2024)

🇨🇵 Le 11 Ventôse, dans le calendrier républicain français, correspond généralement au 1er mars dans le calendrier grégorien. Cette journée est connue comme la

"journée de la herse".

La herse est un outil agricole utilisé pour briser les mottes de terre et niveler le sol après le labour, préparant ainsi le terrain pour la plantation des semences. Le 11 Ventôse était donc dédié à cette étape cruciale du processus agricole.

Après le travail de la bêche, qui consiste à retourner la terre, vient l'étape de la herse pour affiner la surface du sol, améliorer sa structure et favoriser une meilleure répartition des éléments nutritifs. Cela permet également de faciliter la germination des graines et la croissance des plantes.

Ainsi, le 11 Ventôse représentait une journée où les agriculteurs se concentraient sur la préparation minutieuse des champs en vue des futures récoltes. C'était une étape essentielle dans le cycle agricole, soulignant l'importance du travail du sol pour assurer le succès des cultures et la sécurité alimentaire de la communauté.

***

🇬🇧/🇺🇲 On the French Republican calendar, the 11th Ventôse generally corresponds to the 1st of March in the Gregorian calendar. This day is known as the "day of the harrow".

The harrow is an agricultural tool used to break up clods of soil and level the ground after plowing, thus preparing the soil for seed planting. The 11th Ventôse was dedicated to this crucial step in the agricultural process.

After the work of the spade, which involves turning over the soil, comes the harrowing stage to refine the surface of the soil, improve its structure, and promote a better distribution of nutrients. This also helps facilitate seed germination and plant growth.

Thus, the 11th Ventôse represented a day when farmers focused on meticulously preparing the fields for future harvests. It was an essential step in the agricultural cycle, highlighting the importance of soil work in ensuring the success of crops and the food security of the community.

Javascript Frameworks

Absolutely, JavaScript frameworks are the backbone of modern web development, empowering developers to create robust, interactive, and responsive web applications. From Angular and React to Vue.js and beyond, these frameworks have revolutionized how we build web applications. Let's delve deeper into the world of JavaScript frameworks and explore their significance, popular choices, and their impact on web development.

Evolution of JavaScript Frameworks

JavaScript frameworks emerged to streamline the development process, offering predefined structures, libraries, and functionalities. They simplify complex tasks, making it easier to create feature-rich web applications.

Angular:

Angular, developed by Google, introduced the concept of a structured front-end framework. Its two major versions, AngularJS (1.x) and Angular (2+), introduced improvements in performance, modularity, and enhanced features like two-way data binding.

React:

React, maintained by Facebook, revolutionized front-end development with its component-based architecture. Its virtual DOM implementation significantly improved rendering efficiency, making it a go-to choice for building dynamic user interfaces.

Vue.js:

Vue.js gained popularity for its simplicity and flexibility. Its progressive framework allows developers to integrate it into existing projects seamlessly. Vue's gentle learning curve and adaptability have attracted a large community of developers.

Why Use JavaScript Frameworks?

Productivity: Frameworks provide reusable components, tools, and patterns, speeding up development.

Performance: Optimized rendering, virtual DOM, and efficient data binding contribute to faster applications.

Community Support: Active communities offer resources, libraries, and solutions to common problems.

Scalability: Frameworks often come with built-in features for scaling applications as they grow.

Choosing the Right Framework

Selecting a framework depends on project requirements, team expertise, scalability needs, and community support.

Angular: Ideal for large-scale applications requiring a complete framework solution with a structured architecture.

React: Suited for building dynamic, high-traffic applications, leveraging its virtual DOM and component-based structure.

Vue.js: A versatile choice, especially for smaller to medium-sized projects, due to its simplicity and easy integration.

The Future of JavaScript Frameworks

The landscape of JavaScript frameworks continues to evolve with updates, new releases, and the emergence of alternative frameworks. There's a trend toward optimizing performance, reducing bundle sizes, and improving developer experience.

Web Components and Micro-Frontends:

The rise of Web Components and micro-frontends is changing how developers architect applications. These technologies enable building modular, reusable components that can be utilized across frameworks and projects.

Framework Agnosticism:

Developers are exploring ways to combine different frameworks or use libraries like Svelte and Alpine.js to achieve optimal performance and flexibility while minimizing the constraints of a single framework.

Conclusion

JavaScript frameworks have significantly shaped the web development landscape, offering diverse options to cater to varying project needs. As technology evolves, the emphasis shifts towards performance, scalability, and adaptability, driving innovation in the realm of JavaScript frameworks.

Ultimately, the choice of a framework depends on the project's specific requirements, team expertise, and long-term goals. Understanding the strengths and trade-offs of each framework empowers developers to make informed decisions, ensuring the successful creation of modern, efficient web applications.

Did you know you loved your treasured weirdos right away or did it take some steeping? Or was there a particular moment?

Steeping...like they're tea...slorping them

Thanks for the ask! <3 Some ppl may have heard me say already but it was different for all three of the Three Sillies. (This is necessarily answered from the perspective of an anime-first viewer btw so please forgive the episode references if you're manga only! idk what would have happened if I met their village versions first...) Anyway, I liked Vueko right away. Did not realize she was an all time favorite but figured she'd go in top MiA characters. Later events in the season then added to how I saw her (the elaboration in that post is under the picture of me holding a belavue drawing and crying lol), even more as i read the manga and participated in fandom, but I was basically very fond of Vue right away and then liked her more and more.

I found Belaf likably quirky-sweet as soon as we meet him in ep1 but wasn't *particularly* interested. It was e7/e8, his pain and tragedy and the depth of what his transformation meant, which really got it started, and then it grew even more just like for V. Since then i just get ..aaa... sooo much fun out of thinkin' about him, both alone and in the context of his interpersonal relationships which were only briefly (but deftly and strongly) sketched out in canon....... i can pinpoint my return to 'writing for people other than just myself' as the night after episode 8 aired when i couldn't not start writing fic about the super brief scene of Vue feeding him. even for other fandoms and original work, i seriously doubt i'd be sharing writing online right now if not for B and V.

Waz took the longest! although i'm a fan of his seiyuu, during the airing of s2 i didn't have strong feelings about him, negative or positive. once i had seen the full arc and started making fanwork of and talking to people about the other two sages, i realized there was a weird old man shaped hole in my conception of their lives. so i was like ok let me think about him a bit. people come down various ways on how they imagine his interiority and feelings towards the other characters, whether he merely saw them as tools or treasured them as people or some combination. while i'm open to a range of Waz takes, i personally came to see and depict him in the way that i found most appealing -- quite sincerely fond of B and V, loves them even (not sure he'd use that word though), not remotely malicious, but fettered by commitment to his visions and an associated empathy blind spot that leads to quite awful and tragic things in the end. once i felt like i liked and understood all of them, it clicked so fantastically and unlocked so much fun to be had with fanwork of all three's various moments and dynamics. it's now hard to think back to a time when i wasn't fascinated by all three of them. : )

Feeling and manifesting unity

"I am in you and you are in me and we are I am" *and as the Mayans say "I am another one of yourself". Thus, every life-form reflects every other life-form.

We don't meet outside but when we go beyond the mental activity, beyond thought, and we come in touch with the deepest part, opening ourselves to the light, there we meet.

Humanity will be united through this transcendence. Most people act as if they were independant beings but, from time to time, they get a glimpse of this unity, through a situation, a walk, a hug. Something in them remembers the oneness.

As healers and beings exploring our consciousness, we have the tools to spend more and more time feeling this oneness and we can act in what is called the physical reality with kindness, unconditional love, compassion and acceptance.

At the end of the day, we can ask ourselves how much time we spent experiencing that and do better the following day.

Anything can be healed.

Ensign Ful-Vue II: The Restoration

So last month I got this quirky little 1950’s British made camera in a charity shop. An Ensign Ful-Vue II. A medium format camera which was a pseudo-TLR which worked more like a box camera as it had both a fixed aperture (f11) and a fixed shutter speed (1/30th).

It had seen better days as it had dirt and paint chips all over, the shutter release lever occasionally stuck after actuating the mechanism, the strap had pretty much had it and the lock/unlock knob for opening it had lost its cap. But surprisingly for its age the optical elements were only a touch dusty, and after a quick wipe were extremely clear and bright. Considering the condition of the glass and the fact it took 120 film (very much still readily available) I decided to try and get this camera looking as good as possible.

First step was to strip it down and mask up any areas I didn’t want paint getting to. This camera is really quite basic in design, so I had the whole thing stripped down with 3 screws and 1 clip removed.

When masking up the film caddy part, I took extra care to make sure this original advertisement sticker didn’t get damaged.

I decided that to get the best finish, removal of the old paint would probably be best. I initially tried removing it using wire brush tools that came with my rotary tool, and although it was removing the paint it was burning through the brushes too fast. 5 brushes dead and all that was done was 60% of one side. An upgrade was needed.

I started treating the surface with isopropyl alcohol then attacking it with a much bigger brush that could handle higher RPMs without losing its bristles. What took 20 mins with the rotary tool was 5 mins with the drill/brush combo. Progress!

I briefly reassembled the camera at this stage to see how it looked. I was tempted to polish up the metal really well at this point and either have it unpainted or some sort of two-tone effect, but decided to try and keep it original as possible as per the initial plan. I disassembled it again and cracked open the can of matte black spray paint.

Whilst waiting for the spray paint to dry, I dealt with that sticking shutter release lever. I oiled the mechanism using a cotton bud and some oil. I didn’t want to put too much on in case it flicked onto the glass elements during use. That said, unlike other cameras I owned I could at least strip this down easily and clean it off if it did.

With the mechanism working more smoothly than it has done in decades, all that was left was to clean the glass elements.

The moment of truth. The removal of masking tape and reassembly. And I must say I’m very happy with the results. The finish on one side isn’t perfect and it seems I’d scratched the paint ever so slightly when moving the pieces after spraying, but even with these minor points it looks so so much better.

All that’s left to do now is source a new strap and to see if I can fabricate a new cap for the lock/unlock knob.

The Complete Timeline of a Web Development Project, Explained

Building a professional website or web application isn’t a one-week job. From planning and design to development and deployment, a successful project moves through multiple stages—each requiring time, collaboration, and precision.

Working with a Web Development Company helps streamline this timeline, but it’s still important for business owners and marketing teams to understand what happens behind the scenes. Whether you're launching a brand new website or rebuilding an existing one, here’s a complete breakdown of the typical web development project timeline.

1. Discovery & Requirement Gathering (1–2 Weeks)

Every successful project starts with a solid foundation. In this initial phase, the development team learns about your business, audience, goals, and technical needs. It includes:

Stakeholder interviews

Competitor research

Target audience analysis

Site goals and KPIs

Content inventory

You may also receive a project brief or proposal outlining the scope, budget, timeline, and deliverables.

2. Planning & Strategy (1 Week)

Once the goals are set, the agency maps out a strategy for execution. This involves:

Information architecture (sitemap planning)

Feature prioritization

Tech stack decisions (CMS, frameworks, integrations)

Timeline finalization

This is also when timelines are broken down into milestones and dependencies.

3. UX Wireframing & UI Design (2–3 Weeks)

Before development begins, the design team translates ideas into wireframes—basic layouts showing page structure and user flow. Once approved, they create high-fidelity UI designs, which reflect:

Brand identity and colour palette

Typography, buttons, and icon styles

Desktop and mobile responsiveness

You’ll typically review these designs through Figma or Adobe XD.

4. Front-End & Back-End Development (3–6 Weeks)

Once designs are locked, development begins. This is usually the most time-intensive phase and may include:

HTML/CSS/JavaScript coding for the front-end

Framework integration (React, Vue, Next.js, etc.)

Server-side logic, database setup, and CMS configuration

API development and third-party tool integration

Developers often work in sprints, especially for large projects.

5. Content Migration & SEO Optimization (1–2 Weeks)

If you're revamping an old website, content migration is a critical step. Even in new builds, SEO is baked in at this stage:

Migrating blog posts, media, and product pages

Adding meta tags, alt text, canonical URLs

URL mapping and redirection strategy

Page speed improvements and schema markup

Good agencies align this with SEO goals to prevent traffic loss post-launch.

6. Quality Assurance (QA) & Testing (1–2 Weeks)

Before going live, the site is tested across:

Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

Devices (desktop, mobile, tablet)

Screen sizes and resolutions

Functionality (forms, login, search, checkout, etc.)

Agencies also perform performance testing, accessibility audits, and security reviews at this stage.

7. Client Review & Final Revisions (1 Week)

Once QA is complete, the client is invited to review the staging site. This is your opportunity to:

Test the site internally

Flag any issues or edits

Ensure all content is accurate and brand-aligned

A final round of tweaks is made based on feedback before moving to deployment.

8. Deployment & Launch (1–3 Days)

When everything is greenlit, the website goes live. This involves:

DNS updates and domain pointing

Hosting configuration and SSL setup

Backend logins and access control

Real-time analytics and conversion tracking setup

A soft launch or phased rollout may be used to reduce risk.

9. Post-Launch Support & Maintenance (Ongoing)

Your relationship with the development team doesn’t end at launch. Ongoing services include:

Bug fixes and patch updates

CMS training and admin access

Plugin and theme updates

Security monitoring and backups

Performance optimization

Some companies also offer retainers for regular content updates or feature enhancements.

Conclusion

From discovery to deployment, a web development project can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks depending on complexity, content readiness, and collaboration speed. When planned properly, each phase builds on the last to deliver a site that performs, converts, and scales with your business.

Partnering with a Web Development Company ensures each stage is handled by experts—reducing delays, avoiding common pitfalls, and launching a product that aligns with your goals from day one.

Why I Love Get By Text

I have a confession: I've been writing browser tests lately, and my preferred approach to locators is becoming get by text or get by label.

I am aware that some of you might want to throw some full wine bottles at me now. But I stand by it.

Over the course of my career as a test automation specialist, I've worked with a bunch of web applications for which I automated browser tests. One of the most critical aspects of writing browser tests is finding good locators to hook into in order to drive the application. Naturally, since there are plenty of options there are also plenty of opinions on what kind of locator strategies to use. Typically these follow some kind pattern like this;

Use id attributes that are permanent, if you can. If you can't, then

Use data-testid or other custom attributes specifically for automation if you can. If this isn't an option then

Use class attributes, which tend to be stable. If you can't do this, then

Use CSS properties to specify elements. And if all the above aren't options, then

Use text or xpath locators or something and hope for the best.

Generally patterns like this are a good heuristic for identifying locators. However, the nature of front-end web applications has gradually changed over the past decade. Most front-ends are now generated through frameworks and not through hand-written HTML, CSS and JS. A result of such frameworks is that elements aren't always able to be directly manipulated by developers, and you need to rely on the capabilities of the framework. Browsers (and computers more generally) have gotten faster and more efficient. And lastly, tooling has evolved greatly for browser automation. Selenium WebDriver is a web standard now, and there's lots of other tools that can be used.

Based on all this progress, one would imagine that there's been progress on how to choose or use locators well with modern and maybe less-modern web apps and pages. One would be, I think, disappointed to find out there hasn't been much progress here. Finding and maintaining locators is pretty similar to how things looked many years ago. Front-end developers still hesitate to add custom attributes for testing sometimes. Newer web frameworks dynamically create elements, so id attributes are either not present or not reliable enough for automation. No one understands CSS, still.

What to do based on this state of affairs? I've been using Playwright lately for browser automation, and Playwright provides a getByText() method for finding elements. I started using it out of convenience at first and, well, I'm convinced it's a good approach. Why? Because - frankly - it works well.

The thing about text in web applications, whether that be labels next to inputs or placeholder text, is that it's actually fairly stable. Most buttons with the text Submit will continue to have the text Submit for a long time. And if the text does change on an element it is straightforward and obvious to update your tests. Plus, text doesn't tend to go away: moving from Angular to React to Vue to Svelte still means your Name field has a label of "Name" that end users will see.

One big objection to using text is localization internationalization, which can be a valid point. However, if your web app has five options for language, does that mean the logic and workflows change as well? They might, but if they don't, you can likely test one language and still feel confident in the test results. If you can't use text-based locators, then you'll have to evalutate your strategy anyway.

I am a big fan of the adage "What's the simplest thing that could possibly work". When it comes to finding elements by text, this advice seems to hold true.

Composable Commerce: Why It’s the Future of eCommerce Architecture

In today’s fast-moving digital world, traditional eCommerce platforms are hitting their limits.

If your team is stuck with inflexible tech or struggling to scale, it’s time to explore Composable Commerce — a modular, API-first approach that lets you build your store your way.

What is Composable Commerce?

Composable Commerce allows brands to integrate and manage only the best tools for each part of their eCommerce system. That means:

You’re no longer tied to one all-in-one platform
