Tom Fox: There's been a lot written about the Theranos case, so lots that both you and I have digested. So Amii, with that incredibly long winded introduction, welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit with me today. ![]() What we're going to focus on today is the failures at the board level. This podcast will help you understand, as a board member, your role and your role going forward in this type of situation. It's a fascinating exploration of a case that's literally torn from the headlines. We touch upon a wide variety of institutional corporate governance controls and other failures of the company which led to its demise. In this episode, we take up the failures of the Theranos Board of Directors. She has shaped many company cultures and strategic initiatives as an executive at Fortune 20 companies, smaller business and non-profits, and leading multiple functions, including human resources, legal, IT, communications, and compliance. She specializes in accelerating the success of executives and partners with leaders and teams to help scale their businesses. She is a strategic advisor to boards of directors and executive coach to many C-Suite members. Today I have back with me, podcast favorite, Amii Barnard-Bahn. ![]() This is Tom Fox and I'd like to welcome you to episode Across the Board, a podcast that focuses on corporate governance, boards of directors, and management of strategic risk.

Six hours of excruciating pain and one hungry baby later, I resolved to always travel with a hand pump in the future.

I like this one because you can get it on Amazon Prime, like, tomorrow. Sun Screen The sun beating through the glass all day can make for some interesting tan lines if you’re not careful. But if, like me, you drive your toddler around in the car you owned before you had kids, you’re gonna want one of these iPad holders that you hang from either the front seats (if your child sits forward-facing) or the backseat headrest (if they are under two years of age or still facing backward for whatever reason).

I’ve driven through about 10 countries and 30 states, including Switzerland, Hawaii and Arizona, and these are my top things to bring on a road trip! Scroll down to the bottom for a handy printable road trip packing checklist.Road trips are one of the greatest, most American activities-unless there are children in the back seat. We’ve skipped stuff like outfits and toiletries (you already know to bring those) and focused more on what you’ll need in the car. But even if you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll find a few new ideas to stay extra comfy and organized. If it’s your first time planning this type of vacation, these essentials for a road trip will get you started. You could also use something fancier like this. We usually just use plastic grocery bags (the Target and Walmart ones tend to be really sturdy). That way, there’s easy access while kids are buckled. Since you’ll be spending a lot of time in the vehicle, things like car care, entertainment, and snacks are a top priority. A trash bag in each row of the vehicle is one of our road trip must haves. Packing for a road trip isn’t quite the same as prepping for other types of vacations. This road trip packing list will help get you ready for the next big adventure. Whether you’re driving cross-country on a family road trip or to the beach with pals, you want to make sure to bring the right gear to keep everyone comfortable, happy and safe on the way. Road trips can be a bucket of fun or a whole lot of “are we there yet” - and which way it rolls often comes down to the planning and packing. ![]() ![]() ![]() # Create login using the Add-SqlLogin cmdletĪdd-SqlLogin -ServerInstance YourInstance -LoginPSCredential $loginCred -LoginType SqlLogin $loginCred = New-Object ("NewUser",$pass) $pass = ConvertTo-SecureString "Th!sI5Y0urP4ss" -AsPlainText -Force A cmdlet from the SQL Server module will do the trick: # To run in a non-interactive mode, such as through an Octopus deployment, you will most likely need to pass the new login credentials as a PSCredential object.

![]() Take a moment to Google it, yep, Google it, programmers Google things all the time or search the Xojo Dev Center. You are learning a new language after all. Tip: Don’t get discouraged if you don’t know a word or concept. This book will introduce you to more of the Xojo language and walk you through writing projects complete with code snippets that will help you grasp the basic concepts behind: variables, programming structures like loops, functions and parameters, plus you’ll get your first contact with the Xojo Debugger (the Debugger allows you to find and fix bugs in your app). For day 2, I recommend that you download the Introduction to Programming with Xojo textbook (available in PDF and iBooks formats) and work along with the first 2 chapters. Whether you know other programming languages or if Xojo is your first language to learn, understanding the fundamentals of programming will give you a leg up. Doing is a great way to learn, so try to do your own simple project from scratch. Tip: After completing these, try to reproduce the projects without relying on the documentation. The tutorials focus on further familiarizing you with the main areas in Xojo like the Editors and how to layout and interact with some of the native controls. They are just a bit more in depth than the QuickStart and will likely take you less than an hour to complete. The QuickStarts will introduce you to main concepts and have you writing your first lines of code in Xojo! If you have extra time today, try the Tutorials next. Video: If you prefer to video, there are videos you can listen to as your follow the QuickStarts on Xojo’s YouTube channel. You can find resources in other languages in the International section of the Xojo Dev Center. You can do the same both for Web and iOS projects if you are interested in starting there. If you’re interested in developing Desktop apps, point your browser to the Xojo Desktop QuickStart and follow the steps to build a simple desktop application with Xojo in 30 minutes or less. I’ll show you where to start this time, so go ahead and click Start Using Xojo in the bottom left corner to get to the Project Chooser. the Xojo app) and you will be presented with a window pointing you to many of Xojo’s resources.

If you are going to add programming to your skillset, it’s logical to begin with a language that makes it simple to learn the basics of programming. And since that is not something unexpected, relying on the KeyNotFoundException is unnecessary.It’s always a good time to learn something new! And maybe you have some free time on your hands now? We know our screen time is up this year, so let’s put that extra screen time to good use and learn a new skill – programming. So if you do expect situations where a key may not be found then you can account for it with these methods. But you can avoid that by using either the Dictionary (to apply a default if the key is not found) or the Dictionary methods. If the key is not found you'll get a KeyNotFoundException. For example, with a Dictionary you use the Value method to fetch a value based on a key. One reason is that when testing, the Debugger is displayed for any event that is raised if you have "Break On Exceptions" enabled in the Project menu. Since exceptions are for unexpected behavior, if you are able to avoid an error by preventing the exception from occurring then it is more efficient to do so. To do this, select Project > Break On Exceptions in the menu so that it has a checkmark next to it. ![]() When an exception is encountered in your code, you can choose to have the Debugger displayed at the line causing the exception. The act of causing an exception to occur is called raising an exception.Īll exception are subclasses of the RuntimeException class. These errors will crash your application if you do not handle them in some way. Once you've found the source of errors, you want to make sure you handle them properly.Įxceptions are a type of error that occur when something unexpected happens. The debugger can help you verify that your code is working as you expect and it can help you find errors.

React dropzone is quite useful, widely accepted, lightweight and easy to use npm module. I saw quite a few React 18 related issue there. I assume the same would be true for fileRejections but I have not implemented it yet. Also, consider the fact that the bottleneck can also be the react-dropzone package. When adding a file using click the acceptedFiles do not register the file (I have added an onChange handler and shows the file so it is defintely being added to the overall FileList).ĭue to this I cannot display the file added by click details in the Files as I would with a dragged file.
