BkiUec3xK0wg05VB8f5X | Problem: whenever I print a document on a printer connected to the print server I get a "failed print" message. After several print "restart" comands (30+) the printer works fine.
Description: I have an HPdeskjet 5550 printer connected to a "generic" print server (CompUSA brand)and I use it to print from two computers (WinXP Pro).
The print server is connected to an ethernet port of the wifi router. One computer also conects to an ethernet port and the other connects using wifi.
The set up page of the print server shows the printer is offline. I will only go online (and print) after several restarts OR if I turn off the print server (by disconnectin it from the power source) and turn it on again.
what if you set up the printer at a static ip address, does that cure it?
is trying another print server an option.
Try to add ur printer in a client PC, maybe it is not avail in ur client dat s y, u can't print. All u have 2 do is go 2 ur server then share ur printer. After u share, go to the client and then add local printer. | c4 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 |

BkiUa1Q5qhLACA4PuFMM | Q: A particular TVS I am looking for a topological vector space $X$ satisfying in the following properties:
(1) Cardinal number of $X$ is at most of continuum.
(2) $X$ is not a hereditary Lindelof space.
(3) $X$ is a separable topological vector space.
A: Let $\mathbb{S}$ be the Sorgenfrey line and
let $X = C_p( \mathbb{S})$, the space of continuous functions on $\mathbb{S}$ in the pointwise (i.e. product) topology. This has size at most $\mathfrak{c}$, as $\mathbb{S}$ is separable. All spaces $C_p(X)$ for $X$ Tychonoff are topological (locally convex) vector spaces (a quite interesting class of them and very well studied).
(For the following facts and relevant definitions, see Tkachuk A $C_p$-Theory Problem Book (Topological and function spaces))
$d(X) = d(C_p(\mathbb{S}) = iw( \mathbb{S}) = \aleph_0$ and $C_p(\mathbb{S})$ is not even normal, let alone (hereditarily) Lindelöf (this can be proved with Jones' lemma as for the Sorgenfrey plane). Or more directly, define $f_r: \mathbb{S} \to \mathbb{R}$ by $f_r(x) = 0$ if $x < r$, $f_r(x)= 1$ if $x \ge r$, for $r \in \mathbb{S}$ and note that $S=\{f_r : r \in \mathbb{S}\}$ is a discrete-in-itself subspace of $C_p(\mathbb{S})$ of size $\mathfrak{c}$ so that $C_p(\mathbb{S})$ cannot be hereditarily Lindelöf. One can also show that $S$ is closed as well and then the separability of $C_p(\mathbb{S})$ shows by Jones' lemma that it is not normal, while a Lindelöf Tychonoff space would be normal. But this is more work and $S$ suffices for your purpose.
In a way the simplest example is $\mathbb{R}^{\omega_1}$ in the product topology, which is just $C_p(D(\omega_1))$ of course, but this only consistently satisfies (1); in some models of ZFC we have $2^{\aleph_1} = 2^{\aleph_0}$ in others we have strict inequality. Without demand (1) that space would have been
my go-to example.

BkiUcS_xK7ICUn2IZI_B | Q: How can I check mail from the command line? I use Evolution to send and receive mail via IMAP. I want to keep using Evolution most of the time, but I want the option to check and read mail from the command line as well. Reading a new email from the command line should cause Evolution to also display it as read (so I don't have to read them twice), but simply fetching from CLI without marking as read should not make Evolution fail to fetch it.
How can I do this? I know there is a mail command, but that seems to display mail from my OS to my Linux user, not the mail sent from other people to my email box.

BkiUaf7xK1ThhAqzUF12 | The Phasing Octopus - Seratonin Overload
Written by Chi Chi Thalken on December 8, 2020
The Phasing Octopus is a relatively new artist out of Birmingham. The producer has had a busy fall/winter in 2020, with Bug[bomb] EP coming out in October, I may be annoyed or whatever coming out in November, and now serotonin overload is here in December.
It might look like The Phasing Octopus is running out some short and simple projects on paper, but the reality is that these projects are actually quite involved. At four tracks but clocking in over twenty-two minutes in length, The Phasing Octopus isn't just giving you a couple of cool grooves or funky loops and calling it a day. No, he's giving you really involved compositions that combine modern hip hop production with experimental electronic and industrial music, coming together to form some really challenging and dark songs that will take you on a journey. It's the type of project best listened to on headphones, where you can really it give it the one-on-one listening experience serotonin overload deserves, because The Phasing Octopus has really put in the work to develop these songs and provide you with all of these unexpected twists and turns along the way. It's dense and complex, but not so much that it's completely inaccessible. It's experimental and challenging, but it's also inviting enough that you'll want to jump aboard and go for the ride.
The Phasing Octopus has really emerged as a talent to watch this fall/winter, with some really experimental instrumental projects under his belt. serotonin overload is a nice endpiece to a productive year from the Birmingham artist.

BkiUdyI4dbghE52z5ATP | A pixel is worth a thousand bytes and we at the Thoughtpick blog have a soft spot for infographs. We are always on the lookout for great infographs and are eager to share them with our readers.
So Pingdom went through the effort of going through the stockpiles of data about Google and created this awesome illustration of what exactly is Google.
It is absolutely amusing that Google supports search in the fictional languages of Klingon and Bork! But something that is really overlooked by many internet users is just the sheer importance that Google has in our lives nowadays. A market share of 85.78% is a monopoly by any standard, and it technically has absolute control over how we discover the web. This is one of the things that are starting to emerge lately, and it seems that Google seems to be dabbling with the dark side lately.
It came as a surprise to me how profits for Google is almost equally split between the US and the rest of the world, this positions the company as a truly global company something not too many internet companies can claim. Now beside the point that Google is not just any internet company but the fact that it has a global outreach and is a dominant Goliath of the internet positions it well to influence the public opinion and shape it. Something that we saw a glimpse of in its confrontation with China.
Hope you enjoyed this infograph and learned a thing or two about Google from it. Are we putting all our eggs in one basket? what are your thoughts?
I think we ARE putting our eggs in one basket! I mean with all the issues that Google is facing now, only time will tell where Google is headed!
This is a very much reach and enjoyable site. Even very well said in this site. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUe_fxK4sA-7sDgxIJ | The Secret To Knitting The Easy Way!
Dying to make your baby an adorable little knitted hat but think it will take you way too much time and money?
We also were afraid but we got up the courage to pop into L'Atelier on Montana and were so surprised what we found!
We found a big table to hang out at and learn with helpful and friendly staff (not to mention very hip), who not only showed us how to knit a simple stitch, they gave us free lessons. That's right, just buy your supplies there (a few spools of yarn and your knitting needles) and with their help, you're off!
The lovely Andromeda helped and encouraged us when we went in completely blind and we must say that she's a doll. She put together the first stitches on the needle (they call it "casting off") and then she showed us a simple and easy knitting stitch.
After hanging out at the table and talking with other people about their knitting projects, life, etc., we felt comfortable enough to go home and continue our homework project on our own which was to continue practicing the stitch. A few days later, we proudly returned with our knitting homework and were greeted with a "congratulations you can now start your hat project."
Then, one of the friendly staff put together a pattern for us, started us off and gave us easy directions on how to continue. We will be back in a week or so to receive instruction on how to finish our little baby hat!
Knit on down to L'Atelier and tell them LAPregnancy sent ya! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Notes on when the world makes you feel small
Matt Hershberger
I WAS ON A BOAT in the Gulf of Mexico, fishing for mackerel and grouper. My Uncle Andy was a boat captain, and whenever we'd go down to Florida, he would take us out fishing. I was maybe 10, so I wasn't partaking in the beers, but as the day wore on, my dad and my uncle started telling stories. The water was glass, which you almost never see in the Gulf of Mexico, and the gray clouds sat totally motionless above us in the heat.
I don't remember which story Andy was telling. One time, when he went to drop a boat off in Cameroon, he was made to sit in port for 10 days, not allowed to disembark until he bribed a customs official. When he finally relented, the customs official boarded the boat and said, "Captain Hershberger, you will make me a cup of tea while I figure out the paperwork."
Andy was pissed, so he decided to "give the tea a stir" before serving it to the customs official. But he didn't stir the tea until after he'd heated the water to a boil, and, long story short, he had to explain to his company healthcare provider why they were paying for burns on his scrotum.
It may not have been this story in particular, but it was one like it, and it was exactly what a 10 year old wanted to hear from his dad and his uncle. And it was while the stories were being told that kingfish started leaping out of the water. Kingfish don't really do that. So we watched a school of non-flying fish flew around us. And then we watched as a waterspout touched down a half a mile away. Then another, a little bit more to the north. Then a third, a fourth, and a fifth. We were surrounded by tornados on a totally placid sea.

The pit of my stomach
There's a feeling I used to get when I would go alone into the woods at the bottom of our street. I would see no people, hear no signs of human life, and I'd only see trees and creeks. A dense stone would lower into the bottom of my stomach, and I'd know I was alone in the world.
I'm married now. I have a job and I live in the New Jersey suburbs. There isn't much time spent alone in the woods. A 30-year-old man stalking through patches of suburban wilderness is insanely creepy, so I don't do it. But I still seek out the feeling in the pit of my stomach. It comes much less frequently, and only when the entire world clicks into place to make me feel small and lonely. That makes it sound bad — it's not. It's my favorite feeling in the world. It's uncanny — my body, in these moments, does not feel autonomous, but rather a part of a much greater whole. I am moving because the universe moves. And while the raw material that makes up who I am may someday dissolve back into the universe, I know the universe will remain. In some sense, I cannot die.
The word that best describes the feeling is "wonder," but like all words for the ineffable, it is incomplete, and it sounds too religion-y to me sometimes. "Wonder" doesn't fit stories in which my uncle tells me about his burnt scrotum right before the universe shifts into something unspeakably weird. But it gets the point across fine.
The night sky
It's 1997, maybe a year after the cyclones surrounded us in the Gulf. I'm in Hawaii, and I forgot to bring my inhaler. There's mold in the bedroom of our Maui hotel, and I can't lay down or I'll start to suffocate. My dad hears me wheezing and takes me out to the beach and sits me up on a chair. We talk — I totally forget about what — and listen to the ocean. We're away from cities and the hotel's lights are mostly off, so the sky is more star than dark. I can actually see the Milky Way. I can make out the silhouette of the mountains of Molokai across the water in front of the stars. And the feeling drops into my stomach again.

This is where it happens the most — in the face of a clear night. I know people who can't handle a clear night sky — it's too frightening, too vast. For me, feeling small is a comfort. It's a reminder that all of the stuff that feels huge — the horrifying politics of the world, the violence and abuse we heap on each other, the thick fogs of depression and apathy — is actually tiny and inconsequential.
I'd feel the night sky again in 2012, when I caught a plane from London to Iceland to watch the Northern Lights. When I came home, my friends told me you could see the aurora from the East End, but I didn't regret spending on the trip. In the East End, there weren't as many stars. They did not, as I did, wrap myself up in my warmest clothes (which still weren't warm enough), arm myself with a big bottle of wine, and look up over Icelandic mountains as a line of neon green cut through the Milky Way. They didn't feel the pit in the stomach.
The streets of London
The natural world is the best place to find wonder, but the next time I felt it was in the hipster section of London. This section had once been home to Jack the Ripper and "the worst street in the world." It was grimy and dilapidated and working class. During the Blitz, it had been constantly pounded by German bombs. And while it's gentrifying today, there's still plenty of poverty and desperation.
I was on a walking tour through Shoreditch. It was a street art tour, and while we'd all hoped to catch a glimpse of a Banksy, we knew most of what we were going to see was tags and a few commissioned walls. Shoreditch and Spitalfields are covered in street art, most of it the illegal variety, but it wasn't until we were in the middle of a busy zebra crossing that the feeling came again. The tour guide stopped us in the crosswalk and pointed down to a tiny piece of gum on the ground. It was a Kool-Aid blue, Bubblicious-type gum, and in it, two yellow painted stick figures danced.

I felt the stone settle in my stomach. A city can feel like a place that is not built for humans but for machines. We're just crammed in with all of the cement and cranes gears and cars and trains which could all easily destroy our soft, frail little bodies. But here on the pavement was one person refusing to see the streets as off limits, refusing to see a sticky piece of expectorant as litter.
The pit in the stomach, I've decided, is a biological response to the moments when my mind briefly clicks into sync with the world. In these moments, I know who I am in relation to everything. It comes rarely — maybe twice a year, if I'm lucky, but sometimes years pass with nothing. Looking up at the stars, I click into sync and know I'm small. Looking at a splotch of humanity on an inhuman cityscape, I click into sync and know I'm huge.

printf("Number of duplicates: %d", duplicate_count);
return 0;
}
Input
5
1 -1 2 3 -3
output
Number of negative numbers: 2
Number of duplicates: 0
the output for the negative number is correct, but the output for the duplicate is not what I wanted. It should've output 2 because 1 and -1 boht have the number one, and so does 3 and -3. How should I go about this?
A: If you actually want 1 and -1 to count as the same number you should use the abs() function to use the absolute value when searching for "duplicates".
abs(-1) = 1
abs(1) = 1
-1 == 1 returns false
abs(-1) == abs(1) returns true
also remember to include <stdlib.h> to use abs()
A: I fixed my code and it works, just need to use the abs() function for comparing the array. And I also got rid of some unnecesarry code.
Here's the new code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int n = 0;
int negative_count = 0;
int duplicate_count = 0;
// input length of the array
scanf("%d", &n);
int arr[n];
for(int i = 0;i < n;i++){
//input elements of the array
scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
}
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
if(arr[i] < 0){
negative_count++;
}
for(int j= i+1;j<n;j++){
if(abs(arr[i]) == abs(arr[j])){
duplicate_count++;
}
}
}
printf("Number of negative numbers: %d\n", error_count);
printf("Number of duplicates: %d", duplicate_count);
return 0;
}

BkiUeBg25V5hRtkVbz6Y | The interlink between the ongoing water crisis in Chennai and the exploitation of lakes cannot be ignored. If citizens and local body officials had respected the water bodies that act as groundwater recharge systems, the city would have been self sustaining in terms of water availability.
But let us look at two lakes to get a sense of what the reality on the ground is like — Pallavaram Periya Eri and Keezhkattalai eri, both within Pallavaram Municipal limits. While many lakes including Natteri, Anneri, Zaderi were filled up to make way for residential settlements, a few such as Pallavaram Periya Eri and Keezhkattalai lake still exist, though on their deathbeds, fighting for survival.
Situated 5 km apart in the commercially flourishing area, Pallavaram Periya eri and Keezhkattalai eri share similar problems: depleting groundwater table and dumping of untreated sewage and garbage. Water from Keezhkattalai and Pallavaram lakes used to be a blessing for agriculturists who cultivated paddy and ragi. But, as the years progressed, the two lakes were slowly reduced to polluted, encroached fragments of water. Today, they await a new lease of life.
Open wells in the Pallavaram Municipal area have become dry already and water merely trickles from the borewells during peak summer. The municipal area receives Palar water only once in ten days, forcing people to fall back on water tankers. In fact, the dire water situation in the area has caused many citizens to move. "The lack of amenities such as water and waste management has pushed many residents to migrate from the suburb. Many houses in the high rise buildings of Pallavaram remain vacant, despite rent and advance amounts being reduced," said K Jayaseelan, a resident.
Just rewind to the 1980s and the scenario was radically different. Pallavaram Municipality was bestowed with many lakes and these helped in storing rainwater and quenching the thirst of many, besides providing water for irrigation. Water as a resource was abundantly available and water scarcity was a term that citizens hardly bothered about.
"Even in summer, people who lived close to Pallavaram lake would draw water with a bucket from the open wells. Now, while we are still in February, the wells have gone completely dry," said Margaret Vasthala, a septuagenarian, residing at Viswanathan Cross Street, near Vaishnava College, remembering a scene from the 1980s.
Slow kill: Part of Pallavaram Periya Eri has been converted into a dump yard.
The 119-acre Pallavaram Lake has shrunk to around 50 acres now. "Once Radial Road, connecting Pallavaram to Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR), was constructed, encroachments became rampant. Both the lakes have shrunk significantly in size," said Damodaran V, a retired government official, who has been living at Pallavaram for more than six decades.
Pallavaram – Thoraipakkam Radial Road reduced the commute time to OMR, which is the IT hotspot of Chennai. Understanding the scope for real estate in Pallavaram Municipality, property builders encroached upon the lakes. The lake made way for a burial ground that was built in the 1980s and ironically, even houses belonging to retired government officials.
Keezhkattalai Lake needs desilting immediately.
The Pallavaram – Thoraipakkam road is constructed on the Keezhkattalai and Pallavaram lake areas, making it the biggest encroachment. "The government is further expanding the Pallavaram Thoraipakkam road, a move that will further reduce the area holding water. However, if a 30-feet storm water drain is constructed on either side of the Keezhkattalai and Pallavaram lakes, surplus water can be conserved," said a resident, seeking anonymity.
The groundwater table in the area surrounding Keezhkattalai lake has also dipped. "The lake area has shrunk. Also, Keezhkattalai lake is not connected to the catchment area, due to which its water carrying capacity is less. Every family in this area relies on tankers for water, for at least seven months in a year," said Narayanan, a resident.
The fact is that Pallavaram Municipality has itself provided water and sewage connections to the pucca houses constructed on the Periya Eri.
Even though the Public Works Department is the custodian of all lakes, Pallavaram Municipality has managed to get a No Objection Certificate for restoration work from the PWD. "The Municipality is in-charge of the restoration works of these two lakes. PWD has no responsibility in the restoration," said Thyagarajan, PWD Executive Engineer.
The municipality had also assured the NGT that it would complete the restoration works by 2016. In December 2017, the state government sanctioned Rs 15 crore for the restoration of Pallavaram and Keezhkattalai lakes and Rs 7 crore for biomining the garbage dumped in Pallavaram lake.
However, the basic, initial work of clearing out the encroachments is yet to begin at Pallavaram lake; the Keezhkattalai lake has not even been desilted. Commissioner of Pallavaram Municipality, Senthil Murugan, who has taken up the role only two months ago, assured Citizen Matters Chennai that he will speed up the lake restoration work.
Happy some one atleast talks about this. 20 years ago, when I come this way during school days, I see both sides with sparkling fresh water and hundreds of migratory birds fishing in these lakes. Thanks to IT hub and spineless real estate guys who are benamis of our state parties, we have nothing left now. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

All Shows May 24, 2014
Email form Paula in Bethesda: Dear Dr. Shurtz, My neighbor recommended that I change my wireless router to either channel 11 or channel 1 to improve the speed. She logged onto her router (192.168.1.1) and made the changes under Wireless Setting/Basic Security Settings. We are in range of at least four other routers. In my estimation, and our experience improved quite a bit once I turned the router from "automatic" channel selection to a hard-set channel . I have selected 11. Will this improve things?? Thanks! Paula in Bethesda
Tech Talk Responds: You are correct. A change in channel may help. The wireless standard 802.11 has 11 frequency channels. These channels overlap. There are only three non-overlapping channels (1, 6, and 11). Most routers are defaulted on 6. Changing to channel 11 will keep you from interfering with your neighbors Wi-Fi if they are also on 6. You share their bandwidth if you are on the same channel. I also use 11 on my router. However, my FiOS is still slow, even though I opted for 75 Mbps for an extra $14 per month.
To change your wireless setting, logon to your router. With your browser, go to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, put in the user name and password. It is usually written on the bottom of the router (although I have changed my password). Go to wireless settings, basic security settings and select the channel. This may differ slightly with different router brands.
Email from Len in Virginia: Dear Dr. Shurtz, I have been getting certificate errors on all my devices (PC, iPhone and iPad) using Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers. On Safari, the message is "Cannot Verify Server Identity." In Firefox, the message is "This Connection is Untrusted." In Chrome the message is "The site's security is not trusted."
These messages will pop on well know sites that I have visited over and over. Google.com is one site that this happens to. Sometimes I have no problem accessing the sites. At other times, I get the above messages. Cox is my internet provider. The router I am using is a Linksys WRT310N v2. The router is 4 years old. No firmware updates are available. When I first set up the router, I change the password, change the SSID and set the router not to broadcast the SSID. I set the router to use WPA/WPA2 security and my security key is over 20 characters long. Remote management Access has been disabled. Recently, I have tried a number of things to solve this problem. I changed the router password, disabled the access via wireless, and restricted the access to the router to devices shown in the MAC address list. A long time listener. I think I first picked up your show on WMAL and have tried to follow you from station to station. Len in VA
Tech Talk Responds: This problem has nothing to do with your router. Your computer is checking for an up to date Security Certificate for the SSL connection. One of the checks looks for consistency between your time and the timestamp on the certificate. If your date is wrong, it may trigger this message.
"There is a problem with this website's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not yet valid. Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server. We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website."
I suspect that the time on your computer is wrong because I doubt that Google would let its certificate expire. The other option would be that your browser has been hijacked and it is sending you a site that is not valid.
You can also turn off this certificate check on IE by going to Tools/Internet Tools/Advanced Tab. Uncheck the certificate check in the Security section. I don't recommend this option.
Email from Jim in Bowie. Dear Tech Talk. I am trying to get back my hacked email account. Can I set up another account while I am trying to recovery my old account. Love the show. A long time listener. Jim in Bowie
Tech Talk Responds: Getting back your account is possible. Even if it disappears the data is still there. You must persevere with Facebook and prove your identity. It the automatic recovery techniques fail, this process may take weeks. In the meantime, you could set up another account. However, do not use the same email address for the new one. Your email address is the identifying of the old account. If you use the same address for a new account, I don't believe you will be able to recover the old account, since its unique identifier is the email address. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you.
Email from Carl Tyler: Dear Dr. Shurtz: I tried to download the latest installment of Tech Talk Radio Show and iTunes indicated there was an error in downloading the podcast; an unknown error 302. I just thought I'd let you know. Thanks to you and Jim for the great show. I never miss it. Love those David Burd stop byes, too. Carl Tyler, a long time listener.
Tech Talk Responds: Many others emailed me about this problem too. The person who maintains the website, changed the subdirectory for all the show during a routine maintenance operation. As soon as I got your email, we reverted back to the subdirectory that was used for the podcast feed.. We won't make that mistake again.

Profiles in IT: Fernando José "Corby" Corbató
Fernando José "Corby" Corbató is a pioneer in the development of time-sharing OS.
Fernando José "Corby" Corbató was born in Oakland, California on July 1, 1926.
He graduated early and enlisted in the US Navy becoming an electronics technician.
After the war, he entered the CalTech and received a BS in Physics in 1950.
Corby then went to the MIT for graduate school. While a graduate assistant at MIT, he was encouraged by Prof. Philip M. Morse to use the Whirlwind computer.
After receiving his Ph.D. in Physics in 1956, Corby joined Prof. Morse's research staff in the MIT Computation Center, which had an IBM 704 computer.
He served as Deputy Director of the Computation Center from 1958 to 1965.
Corby proposed a project on the IBM 709 that would demonstrate interactive computing. With Bob Daley and Marjorie Merwin-Daggett, he built the initial version of the Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS) and demonstrated it in November 1961. It providing simultaneous access for four users who used terminals.
In order for time-sharing to work, the computer would have to be able to interrupt a running job, save its state, find and restore another job, and start it up where it had been interrupted. They saved the state information on four magnetic tape drives.
CTSS evolved rapidly and a manual was published by MIT Press in 1963
In fall 1962, Project MAC, an ARPA funded project, was started. The plan for Project MAC included the development of a second-generation CTSS called Multics (Multiplexed Information and Computing Service).
The most significant feature of Multics was the integration of memory segmentation and paging (both of which existed in other systems) into a virtual memory system.
Multics, while not particularly commercially successful in itself, directly inspired Ken Thompson and Dennis Richie from Bell Labs to develop Unix.
Corby was appointed Ass. Professor of EE at MIT in 1962, and Professor in 1965.
Corby was chosen to lead Project MAC's Computer System Research group.
Corbató is credited with the first use of passwords to secure access to files.
Prof. Corbató served as Associate department head for Computer Science and Engineering in the MIT EE and CS Depts. for the years 1974-1978 and 1983-1993.
He also served as MIT Director of Information Services and MIT Network Czar in the mid-70s. He retired in 1996.
Among many awards, Corbató received the Turing Award in 1990, "for his pioneering work in organizing the concepts and leading the development of the general-purpose, large-scale, time-sharing and resource-sharing computer systems".
In 2012, he was made a Fellow of the Computer History Museum "for his pioneering work on timesharing and the Multics operating system".

Last month, NASA asked people to submit selfies of themselves using the hashtag #globalselfie and answering the question "Where are you on Earth right now?"
More than 36,000 people from more than 100 countries responded, and the result is beautiful.
It's a 3.2 Gigapixel image that uses the selfies as individual pixels. The image is interactive; you can zoom in on each pixel, and see selfie-takers in that region.
According to NASA, the mosaic is based on views of each hemisphere that were captured around April 22 through a Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite that's on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite.
The global selfie took weeks to complete; NASA had to go through more than 50,000 submissions from Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, Facebook, and Google+.

On May 22, 2014, Facebook announced that it would give a privacy checkup to every one of its 1.28 billion users worldwide, conducted by a cartoon dinosaur.
Facebook will also change how it treats new users by initially setting their posts to be seen only by friends. Previously, those posts were accessible to anyone.
The change in default settings and the person-by-person review is a sharp reversal for Facebook, whose privacy settings are famously complicated. Some users may be shocked when they see just how widely their personal information has been shared.
The company recently concluded that its growth depended on customers feeling more confident that they were sharing intimate details of their lives with only the right people.
Zuckerberg has also watched the rapid growth of privacy-friendly services like WhatsApp and Snapchat and anonymous sharing apps like Secret and Whisper, which compete for the time of many Facebook users.
Facebook said that when people signed in to post something on the company's popular social network, they would soon see a blue cartoon dinosaur that popped up with the message, "We just wanted to make sure you're sharing with the right people."
The service will then walk users through the privacy settings for their status updates, remind them of the applications that have permission to use their Facebook data, and review the privacy settings for some of the most private information on their profiles, like their hometown, employer, phone number and birth date.Facebook has been testing portions of the privacy checkup for months and has not yet decided how extensive it will be.
When eBay admitted Wednesday that it had been the victim of a cyber-attack, the company asked all of its 145 million active users to change their passwords.
But the intruders had access to a customer database that also included other personal information, including names, mailing addresses and dates of birth — data that can't so easily be changed.
EBay representatives told Mashable the company had no idea how many of its 145 million active accounts were seen by the intruders. Millions more inactive accounts could also be affected.
The company said that the attack occurred between late February and March, and that the following information was accessible to the hackers:
Encrypted password
Many password-reset questions involve a birthday, phone number and physical address. At the very least, this sort of data would make it easy for criminals attempting to bypass security settings. It could also be used to aid identity-theft schemes.
It's quite likely that the email addresses on this list will receive more spam, including phishing attacks.
This kind of database could be a gold mine for telephone-based scam artists. Armed with just bits of information about people, scam artists can often dramatically improve the success of schemes that try to trick people into giving away more data.
The only data that was encrypted were the passwords. No other data was encrypted.
There is now a call for data security standards, about how such data should be stored.
For such, change your password and beware for scams. Some identity theft protection may make sense. For instance, I use Lifelock. Much of what Lifelock does is free, but you must keep doing quarterly checks. Using the service is easier for me. It about $10/month.
Sometimes a voice call to 911 just won't work, such as for deaf people in need of help or in certain domestic violence cases.
Now four major wireless phone companies are providing text-to-911 service to local governments that want it and have the capability to use it.
Local governments in 16 states are using the service that allows people to send text messages to report emergencies, according to the Federal Communications Commission, and Vermont became the first to offer the technology statewide Monday.
The four major providers — Sprint, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and AT&T — voluntarily committed to providing the service by May 15.
The FCC has required all service providers to offer it by the end of the year.
The FCC tells people to limit texts for help to circumstances when voice calls can't be made, such as for the deaf or hard of hearing, or in domestic violence cases or at other times when it's not safe to speak.
Black Hawk County, Iowa, became the first to use text 911 in June 2009, said Judy Flores, director of the county's consolidated communication, located in Waterloo.
The text-to-911 service is now limited to text only.
In Maryland, only Frederick County has it.
In Virginia, only Henry, James City, Southhampton, and York Counties.
DC does not offer the service.
The next step is for widespread adoption, now that the major carriers are onboard.

BkiUdRw241xiETwG-Iym | Document Versioning is a feature used to track or maintain the revisions that a document has gone through before it has been approved or published. In other words, document versioning is nothing but the management of multiple revisions of the same document. The whole idea of maintaining older versions of a document is that you can revert to an earlier version of the document at any time, if you need to.
When a document is modified, it is usually represented by incrementing its version number. For example, the first copy of a document is assigned the version number '1'. Now, if this document is modified, then the version number is usually incremented to "2" and so on. If the same document is edited by two or more people then along with the Version increment, the persons' names and the dates/times at which it was edited are also recorded.
Document versioning is commonly used by doctors, lawyers, engineers and various other professionals as well as organizations and businesses.
Globodox is a document management software system with a document versioning feature that allows you to create and retain multiple versions of the same document. Incorporated within Globodox is also an integrated set of tools for scanning, indexing, searching, securing, sharing, auditing and workflow.
You can select and add, or scan and add a document as a newer version of any document stored in a Globodox DB. Globodox then stores the existing document as an older version, increments the version number and adds the new document as the current version. This is the simplest form of versioning. Starting with version 7, Globodox supports draft documents with minor version numbers. You can check out a document for editing and check it back in as a draft document (minor version; e.g. version 1.3, 1.14 etc.). When the document is ready to be published with all changes made, you simply click Publish and Globodox publishes the document and increments the version number to the next integer.
The version number for AnotherAcme.txt will be 2.0.
Every time you open a document (i.e. check-out the document) for editing and then publish it after editing, Globodox will store the current version of the document as an old version, increment the version number by one and then add the document being checked in as the new version.
Add a document called Acme.txt.
Now check-out Acme.txt, modify it and then publish it.
Globodox will store the 1.0 version of Acme.txt as an old version.
Globodox will also allow you to promote an old version of a document to the latest version at any time.
For example, let's assume that the current version of a document is 6 and you promote an older version 4 as the current version. Globodox will make a copy of version 4 of the document and promote that copy as version 7. Version 6 of the document will be saved as an old version. You can have an unlimited number of versions for each document or set an upper limit for the number of versions. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbcw5qoYDgY37zUjG | More than 30 tenure and non-tenure track faculty will take part in Ferris State University's New Faculty Orientation Week, Aug. 17-21. The program is committed to assisting new faculty in a positive transition into the university community.
Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning Director Todd Stanislav said that there is excitement in developing and presenting an itinerary designed to express Ferris' mission, goals and core values, and to identify university resources.
Stanislav acknowledged that most elements of the schedule, that begins on Monday, Aug. 17, are germane to starting any job, such as explanation of employee benefits and safety presentations, but that there are opportunities later in the week to explore unique aspects of Ferris.
Orientation week participants have the support of Paul Blake, provost; Bill Potter, associate provost of retention and student success; Roberta Teahen, associate provost of accreditation, assessment, compliance and evaluation; and Kirk Weller, interim associate provost of academic operations. The provost and associate provosts see that faculty who travel at least 50 miles to attend are provided lodging in Big Rapids during their stay. University leaders and faculty entering their second year on the Ferris campus are among those who will make presentations to offer their perspectives and personal experiences.
Stanislav said that while the program is focused on encouraging faculty to produce learner-centered syllabi and being prepared to instruct once fall semester begins on Monday, Aug. 31, they also hope to promote engagement in the Ferris community.
The process will continue throughout the fall and spring semesters with New Faculty Transition Program sessions. Stanislav said the FCTL encourages new faculty to establish relationships with their peers and examine important topics in teaching and learning. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

As an IAG employee, you are a data subject and there are laws that protect how your personal information is processed and used by your employer. However, your information may be processed and stored by a third party which is known as a data processor.
There are many reasons why an employee data breach could happen whether intentionally, accidentally, or criminally. Whatever the reason for the breach, when personal data and privacy is compromised, you could file a claim for compensation.
For a data breach claim against IAG to be valid, you must prove:
Your personal data was unlawfully accessed
You suffered damage to your mental health or finances as a result of the breach
IAG was responsible for the breach occurring
Time Limits to Making a Data Breach Claim Against IAG
You also must make your claim in time. There is a 6-year time limit attached to data breach claims. The deadline runs from the time you obtained knowledge of the breach. You have 6 years to claim in standard cases, however, when your human rights are affected by a breach, you only have 1 year to seek compensation.
As such, it is far wiser to seek legal advice sooner rather than later just in case the shorter time limit applies to your case.
The General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR sets out the rules that govern how personal data is used. Your employer must abide by these strict rules to ensure data safety. Along with the General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018), all data controllers must have a legal basis for collecting and processing data. Furthermore, your employer must have your permission to do so.
The GDPR and the DPA 2018 also requires that employers (data controllers) keep personal data secure. To ensure your personal information is protected at all times, your employer should have robust security protocols in place.
These protocols should apply to online and offline security. An employer, therefore, should have robust cyber-security and carry out regular testing of their defences. They must also have robust physical security measures in place to protect your physical data, such as ensuring storage cabinets are locked.
When you are employed by IAG, your employer will store information about you. This should only be what is required. As time goes by, an employer may gather more personal data about you which is both personal and sensitive.
When there is a data breach and your data is unlawfully accessed or shared, the consequences can be far-reaching. You may suffer financial losses, identity theft, or be the victim of fraud. That said, if a file containing sensitive information is left open on a desk, sensitive data about you could be seen by other people.
Data protection in the workplace is of paramount importance and employers must do all they can to protect the information they hold. When there is a breach and data is stolen or shared without permission, you could seek data breach compensation if you go on to suffer mental or financial damage.
Whether the breach was due to a criminal cyber-attack, because of human error, or it was accidental, you still have the right to seek data breach compensation if you have evidence it was the fault of your employer.

There are 7 key principles contained within GDPR which are detailed below:
Data controllers must use lawful, transparent, and fair methods when processing data
Organisations that collect and process data must only collect and process data that is required 'for purpose'
Data must be used for specified reasons and no other reason
Personal data must be correct and up-to-date
Secure methods must be used when processing personal data
Data must not be kept for longer than necessary
Organisations that collect and process personal data must abide by the regulations and be accountable

A data breach in the workplace may happen accidentally, or it could be due to human error. In short, a breach of the GDPR and the DPA 2018 does not have to involve cyber-criminals or hackers. Whatever the cause of the breach, employee data breach claims against an employer could be valid if you suffer damage to your finances or mental health because of their failings.
A data breach could be due to the following:
An email is sent to the wrong recipient containing your personal information
Cyber-criminals target your employer with phishing emails and other sorts of cyber-attacks
Someone gains access to your personal information that is not securely stored whether in a physical file or online
Devices are lost or stolen that contain data that is not encrypted
A file containing personal data is left exposed on a desk
A computer screen is left on displaying someone's personal data

There is a database the Information Commissioner's Office holds of action taken against organisations (data controllers) that failed to follow data protection law. A breach was reported by British Airways which is owned by IAG in 2018. The breach saw 420,000 customer and staff data illegally accessed. It related to personal and financial information and led to a record fine of £20m.
Employers in the UK who do not follow the law, or who fail to have the required online and offline security protocols in place could be in breach of the law.
To discuss a data breach claim against an employer, you can either fill out the contact form by clicking here, or you can speak to an adviser using the Live Chat option.
Your employer must have your explicit consent to share any personal data they collect, process or store about you. That said, there are circumstances when your data could be lawfully shared without your consent. Examples of when an employer could share your data with another party include:
When HMRC requests information about you for tax and payroll purposes
If a life is at risk
If it is in the public interest to share your data
When an employer has the right to share your private data with other parties, the data shared must only be information that is necessary.

Reporting the breach to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours
Launch an internal investigation into how the breach happened
Establish how much data was accessed in the breach
Determine who is affected by the breach
Inform anyone affected by the breach without undue delay
Set in place mitigation protocols

The Information Commissioner's Office's job (ICO) is to enforce data protection law in the UK. However, the ICO's role is not just limited to enforcing data protection regulations. The authority also:
Hold databases of actions they have taken and fee-paying organisations
Responsible for enforcing several different pieces of legislation
Dealing with reports relating to data breaches
Providing data protection guidelines to data controllers and processors
Issuing fines to organisations that are in breach of data protection law
Making recommendations to organisations in breach of the law to help ensure compliance
The Information Commissioner's Office has the power to enforce heavy penalties on organisations that do not abide by data protection laws. These fines can go into the hundreds of thousands of pounds depending on the severity of a data breach.
To find out if you have a valid data breach claim against IAG, please get in touch today by filling out the contact form, or by chatting to an adviser via our Live Chat.
The Information Commissioner's Office provides organisations with guidelines to reduce the risk of data breaches happening. The ICO also provides essential training documentation to data controllers. An example being the Employment Practices Code.
If you think your personal data is compromised and you want to know if you have a valid claim, please click on our contact form page above. An experienced adviser will get back to you without delay.
When your personal information or privacy is compromised in a breach, you have the right to request that the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) investigates the event. That said, you should try to resolve the problem with your employer before contacting the ICO.
To do so, you can try the following:
Send your employer a formal complaint
If you are unhappy with your employer's response, take the matter further
Contact the Information Commissioner's Office to report your concerns
However, you must not wait too long before contacting the ICO to make a complaint because if you do, the authority may not want to investigate the breach.
For more information on how to report a data breach to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), please get in touch with a member of our team today.
When you make a successful data breach claim against IAG, you could receive two forms of compensation. These are:
Non-material damages for the injuries/mental ham you suffered, such as stress, anxiety or depression
Material damages for any financial losses you incurred
An important ruling was made in the Court of Appeal in the case of Vidal-Hall and others v Google Inc [2015]. It was held that:
Victims of a data breach can claim non-material damages for mental harm caused by a data breach even when no financial losses are incurred
The amounts awarded for non-material damages should be based on personal injury law with guidance sought from the Judicial College Guidelines
The table below provides an idea of the sort of compensation you could receive for mental harm. The amounts are taken from the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) which courts, personal injury lawyers, and insurers refer to when valuing a claim.
Mental Harm
Compensation awarded for non-material damages based on Judicial College Guidelines
Psychiatric harm Severe £51,460 to £108,620
Psychiatric harm Moderately Severe £17,900 to £51,460
Psychiatric harm Moderate £5,500 to £17,900
Psychiatric harm Less Severe Up to £5,500
Post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD Severe £56,180 to £94,470
PTSD Moderately Severe £21,730 to £56,180
PTSD Moderate £7,680 to £21,730
PTSD Less Severe Up to £7,680
Please note, the amounts are provided as a general guideline only. For an accurate estimate, you would need to discuss your case in more detail with an expert lawyer. Why not click one of the Legal Expert banners above to speak to someone today?
You may be worried about paying for legal representation which can be expensive. However, many personal injury lawyers provide clients with No Win No Fee terms. This means you only pay for a No Win No Fee lawyer's services when you receive data breach compensation. In short, you will not pay an upfront fee, and you will not have to pay ongoing fees.
However, a No Win No Fee lawyer will need to review your claim before offering these terms. That said, when they find you have good reason to sue for data breach compensation, they will send you a Conditional Fee Agreement (No Win No Fee agreement). You need to read the Terms and Conditions set out in the contract before signing it and returning it to the solicitor.
A No Win No Fee lawyer will take a small percentage of the compensation you are awarded. This is the 'success fee' which is legally capped. To find out whether you could make a No Win No Fee data breach claim against IAG, please fill out our contact form. Alternatively, you can click on the Legal Expert banner to receive free advice on how best to proceed with your claim.

It's pretty common for a non-stop flight alone from Calgary to Huatulco to cost at least $500. You're essentially getting a week of accommodations, and unlimited food/drinks for $53/person.
The hotel showing this price is the La Isla Huatulco Hotel. It's nothing fancy, just a solid 3 star, but gets pretty good reviews on Tripadvisor (4 circles, 62% rated it Excellent) - although there are 3 recent reviews that are terrible. If you read through the first 3 pages of reviews, it'll give you a good idea of what to expect.

I'm still seeing it, as of 9:27 AM MST. Were you searching for more than 3 people in one room?
When you search for 4 or more, the price jumps up to $899/person.
If you search for 3 adults, the price actually drops, to $493/person.
If you search for 4 or more people, you need to increase the number of rooms to keep the price at $553/person. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdf85ixsDMQk3vZBI | Panera Bread Has a Lot to Prove on April 26
By Rick MunarrizFool.com
Things are starting to get better forPanera Bread investors. The chain of bakery-cafe restaurants reports fresh quarterly results a week from today, and this morning, it lined up an analyst that is turning bullish on the stock's prospects.
Jefferies is upgrading the stock from hold to buy, pushing its price target up to $245 from $195. The optimistic take comes on the notion that the recent strength in comps will continue through the next few years. Jefferies analyst Alexander Slagle feels that mobile ordering, catering, delivery service, and Panera 2.0 conversions will help push sales-per-store higher in a way that will also boost margins and profitability. He's eyeing comps growth of 4.5% to 5% through the next two years, just ahead of where his peers are perched, and well ahead of forecasts for the restaurant industry in general.
If you can't get it right the first time, rebootPanera 2.0 is a platform where guests can use touch-screen tablets -- or their own mobile devices -- to place orders if they want to speed up the process. Servers then bring orders out to tables, unlike the current model, where guests have to wait for their names to be called or for pagers to start buzzing to head back to the counter to collect their sandwiches, pastas, soups, and salads.
The tech and service upgrade doesn't come cheap. A typical Panera 2.0 conversion costs roughly $125,000, and then there's another $20,000 to $30,000 in transition and training costs. The costs don't end there, either. The restaurants that have already converted to the new platform since Panera began testing it two years ago see an uptick in operating expenses. Food runners delivering food to the tables need to be staffed. There's also an uptick in credit card processing fees since mobile and in-store ordering don't take cash. There's also an IT support element to supporting the tablets that needs to be considered.
However, the goal with Panera 2.0 is that orders will increase as patrons don't flinch the next time they see long lines snaking at the register during the breakfast or lunchtime rush. Customers are also likely to spend more when given a digital platform to order, something we have seen at casual dining chains that have embraced table-top tablets.

Getting it right the second timePanera needed to do something after being tripped up in 2014. The chain is now coming off of back-to-back years of declining earnings and operating profits, and top-line growth also fell into the single digits for 2014 and 2015 after years of double-digit spurts.
Analysts see revenue growth decelerating again in 2016 -- to 4.8% from a 6% gain last year -- but they do see margins and earnings starting to bounce back.
Panera is trying to do right by its customers. It vowed last year that it would eliminate artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives from its ingredients by 2017. It's a move that should please fans of organic edibles without alienating those that don't care as long as prices don't inch higher.
It's still a good sign to see an analyst upgrade a stock just days before it announces financial results. A Wall Street pro would have to be pretty confident that the market will like the numbers instead of just waiting a week and seeing if Panera is on track to turn things around this year before upgrading his view. Panera's performance has been disappointing during the last two years, but 2016 is a brand-new year to make dough.

Commute times increase as the UK's transport system gets more crowded
National Posted 21/11/14
The amount of time that commuters spend travelling to and from work has increased substantially over the past five years, according to a TUC analysis of official figures.
The figures – published to mark the end of Commute Smart Week organised by Work Wise UK – show that on average workers are spending almost an extra 11 hours a year commuting.
The South East has seen the most dramatic annual increase – with commuters there facing an additional 20 hours to their journeys.
Although Londoners have only seen their commute times go up by an extra 10 hours a year, the TUC points out that they already have way and above the longest daily commute time in the UK – at almost an hour and twenty minutes.
The TUC believes that UK workers are spending far too much of their lives commuting – an average of nearly 211 hours per year, or the equivalent of more than a month's full-time work. TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Employers need to address the problem that many of their workers are spending an increasing number of, often very miserable, hours commuting. "More home-working and flexi-time could easily be introduced to allow people to cut their commutes and save money at the same time. This would be popular with workers and would also help take the pressure off our congested and overloaded transport system."
The TUC analysis also breaks down commute times by different modes of transport. It shows that nationally travelling by car is still the most common way of commuting, with workers spending nearly 7 hours more per year travelling to work and back than they were in 2008. For bus, coach, rail, tram and underground passengers the rise in commuting time is higher – now an extra 14 hours per year.
The Department for Transport reports that motor vehicle traffic increased by 1.6 per cent during the past year, resulting in more than 250 thousand extra vehicle journeys. But in this time only 53 miles of new roads were built. Similarly, the number of journeys made on the rail network increased by 2.5 per cent last year, but yet the capacity of the rail network only increased by a marginal amount – an extra nine miles of track.
Work Wise UK's Chief Executive Phil Flaxton said: "With commuting times on the increase, identifying ways to reverse this trend should be a top priority for any employer, which means offering staff a choice in where and when they work.
"Is the daily commute this winter going to be interrupted by poor weather, increased demand on services and disrupted travel? Or are employers going to grasp the opportunity by changing the way employees work, think about the risks to their organisation and introduce more flexibility to cut out these disruptive influences on business performance, work life balance and productivity?" | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Duncan Scott is a sure-fire medal contender after backing up his gold in the 100m free at last year's Commonwealth Games by bagging the 200m freestyle title at the 2018 European championships.
European champion Ben Proud should be in the mix in the 50m free, while James Wilby looks to hang on to Peaty's shirt tails in the 100m breaststroke after silver medals at the Commonwealth and Europeans.
But Peaty remains the Britain's biggest draw after leading them to second place in the medals table at the last world championships in Budapest two years ago.
The Brits won four gold medals, a silver and two bronze to finish behind the United States, albeit by a huge margin.
Peaty has romped to 50m and 100m breaststroke gold at each of the last two world championships and in between captured a maiden Olympic gold in the 100m in Rio.
But fueled by his first defeat in the 50m in nearly four years at the Commonwealth Games, the 24-year-old wants to set new heights by taking down his own world records.
"Even if you are the best in the world, you can still be beaten. I think that's the most valuable lesson," said Peaty of that shock defeat on Australia's Gold Coast.
Poster boy
He responded by lowering his own 100m world best record to 57.10 seconds at the European championships.
His 50m record of 25.95 seconds could also go, Peaty believes.
"I definitely think it is humanly possible," he told the BBC. "I want to put on a show."
According to reports from his training camp at Loughborough University, world records are routinely being broken when no one is watching.
As the first British male swimmer to win Olympic gold since 1988, Peaty is the poster boy for the sport in his home country.
But he is also aware that his star power means there is a target on his back for others to catch.
"Once you're at the top you've got to keep that spot," Peaty told Men's Health magazine.
"I've been at the top now for five years. It's a long time to stay on top without getting beaten."
In the women's events, Britain will look to the likes of Siobhan-Marie O'Connor to step up in the individual medleys and Commonwealth champion Alys Thomas in the 200m butterfly.
Peaty, though, will be the man the others looks to provide the spark for the British team in Gwangju.
"I don't just want to win – I want to dominate," he said after his latest world record. "That's not an arrogant side, it's just the competitive side in me."

BkiUd0I5qYVBc0citAWf | Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they're seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week we talk about commercials for a fragrance, get to know Dee Snyder a little better, make it up that mountain, and deal with the untimely death of a kid and a marriage. Yay!
There's only so much you can say about the halcyon days when MTV truly ruled. A burnt out, whored out, shell of its former self, the network that gave us Madonna now gives us daily reminders how the mighty truly have fallen on hard times. What was magical about its heyday in the 80s was its commitment to just pound its viewers with video after video, these, at times, delicious short stories wrapped up in rock and roll or pop music. And, as a budding child, having a video starring none other than One Crazy Summer's Aquilla Beckerstead, Mark Metcalf, starring dudes who I remembered from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. The combination was irresistible but as many times as I watched "We're Not Gonna Take It" it never managed to open my wallet. That said, I had mad respect for the band and its wild album covers. What director Andrew Horn has done here is capture what that moment must have been like for a band to go from small bars to arenas on a rocket ride when music still meant being able to live the life of a rock and roll star. There's something to seeing Twisted Sister's story that reminds me that even though there isn't anything here that could re-explain history any different, it's just a chapter you've never known you wanted to read until you get a little taste of it.
Sure, you hear about those left at the top of the mountain but you rarely ever hear anything about the people who got them there.
Director Jennifer Peedom does the one thing that made Meru such a compelling watch last year: she slows down to understand the POV of those who see mounting an expedition not as an exercise to show how physically and mentally tough you can be but as something more holy, more personal than just being able to go on a motivational tour saying you've "done it." It's intimate and it's compelling. I could have done without the Yanni-inspired soundtrack that kicks in on the last 1/3rd of this thing but it doesn't make the narrative any less impactful when you realize this is a movie about those who go up and down this mountain without ever considering it something to boast about. It's deeper than that.
Genuinely doesn't get more complex than this.
Director Rebecca Daly helps position Rachel Griffiths as a recently grieving, divorced mother who has to find her way without her son. The story seems wrapped up in a few different angles ranging from mother/son issues, intimacy issues of a grown woman who seemingly has no one to turn to, and a homeless boy that Rachel decides to let stay with her. As you can imagine, it just gets sticky from here and the trailer wonderfully captures that uneasiness of trying to find some way to not only communicate all this but leave you wanting to know how everyone is going to come out on the other side. Powerful.
It doesn't get much more key art than this.
A truly wild and vibrant promotion for a fragrance no less, this is about the only way I would willingly submit to a commercial pitch. Not knowing much more than this is a series of 10 short films starring people such as Alia Shawkat from Arrested Development I was kind of impressed with how well this ad campaign reaches to the same kind of levels of BMW's The Hire short with Clive Owen. If you're gonna be a shill to a product company, and Lord knows many actors have just said F-it with giving up any artistic credibility and taken themselves off the artistic roll call, this is about the way to do it while still retaining some shred of respect. I was enamored with how well these flow together into a seamless wave of a narrative that doesn't seem to have anything to do at all with fragrance. However, if they were smart about doing this then hopefully no one will notice the pitch.
The Night Manager Trailer – Ok, I guess?
Hunt for the Wilderpeople Trailer – Want to see this immediately.
The Survivalist Trailer – Had me completely bought in.
Finding Dory Trailer – Thanks, come back when you have something.

The Secret Lives of Pets Trailer – See above.
Nine Lives Trailer – I hope this one has spent every last life it has before it ever gets to the theater. Hot garbage.
The Confirmation Trailer – Tonally, it feels all over the road. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUfsM5qhLBs6lRtPSL | Kirk Douglas stars as Harry, a one-time prizefighter who embarks on a life-changing journey with his son Lance (Dan Aykroyd) and teenage grandson Michael (Corbin Allred). Feisty at 80 despite a recent stroke, Harry is faced with the prospect of being sent to a retirement home. He convinces his son and grandson to join him in search for thirteen long-lost diamonds. Along the way, the three generations of men meet up with pit bosses, gangsters and an intriguing madam named Sin-Dee (Lauren Bacall). In the end, Harry and family discover that nothing is more priceless than the time they've shared together.
Kirk Douglas personally fought for the MPAA Ratings Board to give this film a PG-13 after it had initially been rated R. But it still contains three profanities and the dialogue is peppered with many obscenities; there aresexual conversations and situations as the old man takes his son and grandson to a brothel; the teenager shows disrespect for his father; the teen suggests you are a total loser if you haven't used drugs; there's gambling, teen smoking, and yet again, a dysfunctional family is portrayed. Great cast, but after reading the content, is this something you want to expose yourself to in the name of entertainment?

BkiUdhg4ubngxbxwfD_V | Today's therapy-dog handlers recognize the need to be teammates with their dogs. Teaming with one's dog involves unobtrusively providing physical and emotional support as well as respectful guidance in what to do. Being a teammate requires attention to our own behavior, not just our dog's. This book reminds all handlers that being conscious of what we do with our dogs helps them do their best work, and also can increase the effectiveness of our visits.
Teaming with Your Therapy Dog teaches the STEPs of Teamwork and how those STEPs fit with the Therapy Dog's Bill of Rights. These general principles free handlers to apply them in their own way to their therapy dog's individual personality and work, and to everyday life at home! As the author writes, The book explores a way of being conscious of what you do with and to your therapy dog to support him in his work. It describes functional principles of behavior you can learn and use immediately, either together as a package or independently. Using an exciting new methodology, the author guides readers to deepen their relationship with their dogs by acting consciously and respectfully.
If we truly care about our dog partners who give themselves so valiantly to this kind of work, we realize that the role of a handler in a therapy team is pivotal. We must protect, advocate, and speak for our dogs, so that they can trust our support in the emotionally challenging situations in which we place them. If you work anywhere in the world of animal-assisted interactions, you have been waiting for this book (even if you didn't realize it), and thank goodness it's Ann who has written it. You're going to want to keep it close, and read it over and over.
Ann R. Howie began integrating animals into her counseling practice in 1987 and has worked with animals in (human) health care ever since. She has both state and national credentials as a clinical social worker (counselor). She founded and coordinated a hospital animal-assisted activities and therapy program from 1990 to 1997, was Pet Partners' (formerly Delta Society's) national director of Animal-Assisted Therapy Services from 1995 to 2000, and is an Eden Associate. She is an adjunct faculty member in the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver and has also been an adjunct professor in the Masters in Counseling Psychology Program at St. Martin's University in Olympia, Washington. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUf5TxK6nrxjHzEIfu | Q: Numerical methods for $u_t+c u_x= \frac{-c}{x}u$? I am looking for possible numerical methods to solve the PDE
$$u_t+c u_x= \frac{-c}{x}u$$
for $u(x,t):\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ and where $c>0$ is a constant.
I am particularly interested in a Finite elements method, although I am also curious if you can expose some other methods.
(I am refraining myself from writing the one or two methods that might be working to not influence the answers)
A: I am giving you alternative ideas to solve the PDE numerically.
Try using Fourier transform: let $\hat{u}(\omega,t)$ be the Fourier transform of $u(x,t)$. So using the inverse Fourier transform, we can write $u$ as
$$ u(x,t) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{u(\omega, t)} e^{2 \pi \omega x (i)} d \omega $$
and
$$ u_{t} =\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{u}_{t}(\omega, t) e^{2 \pi \omega x (i)} d \omega $$
$$ u_{x} =-(2 \pi \omega)^{2} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{u}(\omega, t) e^{2 \pi \omega x (i) } d \omega $$
$$u_{t} + cu_{x} = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{u}_{t}(\omega, t) e^{2 \pi \omega x (i)} d \omega -c(2 \pi \omega)^{2} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{u}(\omega, t) e^{2 \pi \omega x (i) } d \omega $$
$$ = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}[ \hat{u}_{t}(\omega, t) -c(2 \pi \omega)^{2} \hat{u}(\omega,t) ] e^{2 \pi \omega x (i) } d \omega $$
but your right hand side has $1/x$ which is a problem. If it does not have, assume it is just $c u(x,t)$, then we have
$$ -c u(x,t) = -c \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{u}(\omega,t) e^{2 \pi \omega x (i) } d \omega $$
So your PDE is equivalent with the below ODE (in frequency domain):
$$ \hat{u}_{t}(\omega, t) -c(2 \pi \omega)^{2} \hat{u}(\omega,t) = -c \hat{u}(\omega,t) $$
You can then solve this either numerically using finite difference, or solving it analytically. But to deal with your right hand side that includes $1/x$, you may need to do some adjustment.

BkiUawDxK3YB9raXxqZY | Why Cross Device Testing Is Important To Us
You've all heard the saying, 'you can't be all things to all people' right? Well in our industry that is something that we are faced with daily as we strive to be exactly that. We want the websites that we develop to appear as they were designed to look on all browsers and all devices – whether that's a desktop PC, Mac, Laptop, Tablet, Phablet or Smartphone. It's a tall order and one that we take very seriously.
Of course the reality is that our sites simply can't display pixel perfect or function without error across every single browser, device or screen size ever released – and not just because the resource and expense that would go into that would be restricted by time and budget but also because we can't control the human at the end of the device and their preferred (or most often unknown) settings. What we can do though, is ensure that we have a robust strategy that deals with website display on the most commonly used browsers and devices; taking into account the most common (default) settings. There are so many different configurations (Operating System, screen size, screen resolution, screen orientation, preferred browser and device) that we rely on market share statistics to tell us which configurations are most popular and we build, test and QC according to that data. Last month I talked about Why Cross Browser Testing Is Important to Us and this month I want to delve into Why Cross Device Testing Is Important To Us too.
Who'd have thought 10 years ago that we'd live in a multi device world where the internet wasn't just available to us through our wired desktop PC or Mac but that we'd be carrying it around in our pockets and bags on our wireless smart devices in an omni-channel world? We've talked before about how fluid our industry is and the past 10 years have been the most fluid yet as we've adapted to these changes that have resulted in connectivity like never before.
So what are the devices that we build for and test our websites on?
I'll start by mentioning that there are many, many emulators (software designed to show an approximation of what a website should look like in a given browser/device) and cross browser/device testing services available to website developers and QC teams. These are great and many do a lot of the heavy lifting that is required. We ourselves use emulators (and even built our own Responsive Website Tool) to check layout as it speeds up the build but we always, always test on the actual hardware post build and in the QC phase. Nothing comes close to the experience of viewing a website on an actual physical device as you also get to interact with the website and navigate it as a user would. We currently test on 14 (yes 14!) different devices before the website goes to the client for approval.
Here are a list of the devices we test on and some reasons why:
In the office we are Microsoft Windows 10 users so we test on a range of desktop PCs all with multiple screen sizes ranging from 20" to 24" and resolutions of 1024x768 and 1366x768 (the two most popular). Our goal is to cover as many bases by testing on as many different configurations as possible.
Desktop Mac
Our designer uses an Apple Mac (of course!) and so full testing is carried out on a 27" screen. Apple products are sold with a feature called Retina display which is simply a brand name for screen resolution. The difference with Retina display is that the pixel density is so high that it is almost impossible to see the pixels up close – this gives the crisp display that Apple products are known for and is something else that we have to be mindful of when designing, developing and testing websites.
There are a myriad of different laptop sizes sold by a myriad of manufacturers. We test on both 14" and 15.6" screens – these are fairly standard screen sizes and they are configured by default to a 1366x768 resolution.
Mobile/Tablet Operating System Market Share – January 2016
Source: Netmarketshare.com
As you'll see from the image above, Android (Google) dominates the market share for tablet and mobile with 58.75% followed not so close by iOS (Apple) with 32.93% and Windows (Microsoft) coming in a distant third with 2.86%.
These stats lead us nicely into the mobile device testing that we carry out:
As mentioned above Apple's iOS operating system is second in line to Google's Android when it comes to market share. iOS devices allow you to update to the latest version as they are released. This is a great feature as you know you'll always have the latest version of the software installed (if you want it) and it makes it much easier for the build, testing and QC process as only one version of the OS needs to be considered – the latest one! We don't consider older versions simply because updates are available for ALL users.
Market Share for Windows Tablet users is much lower than for iPad or Android but as it makes up one of the top three operating systems it simply can't be ignored. Plus predictions are that Windows will be running on 18% of all tablets globally within the next three years. This is thanks largely to the release of Windows 10 – another reason for us to continue our testing on this device. We test on a Hewlett Packard tablet that, like our PCs, runs on Windows 10.
We use a Samsung Galaxy Tab with an 8.0" display running KitKat version 4.4.2. Android devices have historically been shipped with a default WebKit browser that has been the bane of many a developer's day. It is possibly the most unforgiving web browser ever! Thankfully Google (the company behind Android) saw the light and announced in 2012 that 4.0 and above Android devices would be shipped with Google Chrome starting with the Nexus 7. And although users with 4.0 devices released earlier than 2012 (Icecream Sandwich) have been able to download the Chrome browser and set it as default for some time, we have continued to support the WebKit browser due to the market share of those devices potentially still using this outdated browser.
Google do allow some users on older versions to upgrade to the latest version but not all and it isn't something that is automatically pushed out like Apple do for iOS, so again we are always considering not just multiple devices but multiple operating systems and multiple browsers for Android.
Note: you'll notice the words KitKat and Icecream Sandwich above. These are codenames that relate to the version number. More recently, Marshmallow (2015) and Lollipop (2014) versions were released and all previous versions have the name of a sweet treat – in alphabetical order.
Update February 2017:
We regularly check the market share held by the devices and browsers that we test on to make sure we are adhering to our goal to deliver quality, dependable websites.
The default WebKit browser mentioned above has dropped to just 3% market share this year so, we've decided it no longer makes sense to support this browser - a decision that our developers and our QC team are pretty happy about given that it has been the most unforgiving browser, in terms of website display, ever! We'll continue to test on this device but using Google's Chrome browser only.
Another thing we've noted is the rise of the Samsung Internet app which is now bundled as the primary browser on all of their current devices. Market share is creeping up (currently sitting at 10%) so we're now also testing on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 which has the new browser installed and have added that to our testing and QC list.
We've got three types of people in our office – one firmly in the Windows camp (our Lead Developer), those in the Android camp (the Google supporters like our Digital Marketing manager) and those in the Apple camp (once you go Apple it's really hard to go back!).
This diversity is great for us and our testing/QC process because we have multiple devices across all three operating systems to test on. We think we've got pretty much all bases covered here.
As per the section above on the Android tablet we need to consider not only the version of the operating system but the default browser. The great thing is that we have three different Android phones in the office all on different operating systems and all of which have the highest market share. We test on Jelly Bean 4.1 (22.4%), KitKat 4.4.2 (35.5%) and Lollipop 5.1.1 (34.1%). Two have WebKit as the default browser which is really useful for us and with the Chrome download it gives us another level of testing.
As I mentioned earlier we, in the office, are Windows users on our Desktop PCs. And luckily for us, when it comes to testing, our Lead Developer is a Windows proponent and flies the flag for Microsoft with the sole Windows phone in the office. Market share is low and whether Microsoft can sustain its foray into the mobile phone market is yet to be seen – but while they have market share, we'll continue to build for and test on Windows phones.
Even with Android continuing to eat into the iPhones' global market share, the iPhone is still second in line and has mass appeal. The battle between Google and Apple for market share will never be over and we'll continue to test on this device for a long time to come. Like the iPad we run the latest version, 9.2.1 and only need to consider this version in our testing.
Once again I hope that this post offers some insight into the robust nature of our QC process and why it is so important to us, in our multi device world, that your website looks the best it can regardless of the device it is being viewed on. I'd love to hear from others who have an opinion on the importance of cross device testing so please feel free to comment below with your thoughts.
Disclaimer: Device stats are notoriously difficult to obtain due to the way that different sources interpret the data and calculate the stats plus the popularity of devices differs quite significantly by country. There are also biases when it comes to tablet vs. mobile data. I've offered my best efforts to give global statistics based on research from sitepont.com, gs.statcounter.com, netmarketshare.com and w3counter.com and this information is offered as a general insight into why we at Apex build for and test our websites in particular devices. | commoncrawl | 4 | 4 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUegvxK7IACL5k9Ztm | San Diego Serves as a Hotbed for Analytics Tech Cluster—at Least Up to a Point
When Tom Clancy introduced a panel discussion yesterday at a forum on analytics software, the founder of San Diego's Tao Venture Partners said the forum was "founded four years ago by people who had an interest in seeing San Diego get established as a leading cluster in the analytics space."
The forum, which is sponsored by the San Diego Software Industry Council, offers an annual snapshot of local developments in a booming industry that has become crucial to business intelligence, data storage and management, and complex decision-making.
Since Robert Hecht-Nielsen founded HNC Software here in 1986, the number of companies that focus on analytics software in San Diego has mushroomed, with more than 100 companies specializing in neural networking, data mining, pattern recognition, and related algorithms and technologies for analyzing data. Yet Clancy and local experts who discussed "opportunities in analytics" lamented that San Diego's standing as the birthplace of some key companies and technologies has gone largely unrecognized. Among the examples cited:
— HNC, which specialized in technology to analyze credit card transactions, was acquired for $810 million in 2002 by Fair Isaac and Co. and integrated with the Minneapolis, MN-company's credit-scoring business.
—Urchin Software, a suburban San Diego Web analytics company that developed an assortment of tools for measuring website usage, page views, and other statistics, was acquired by Google in 2005 for an estimated $30 million. Seven months later, Google renamed its Urchin business Google Analytics, and made analytics tools available to Web users for free.
—WebSideStory, a San Diego company that developed website traffic analysis tools, rebranded itself as Visual Sciences in 2007 and was acquired later that same year for $394 million by Utah-based Omniture. (Last month, Omniture was itself acquired by San Jose, CA-based Adobe Systems in a $1.8 billion deal.)
—Carlsbad, CA-based analytics software developer Keylime Software was acquired for $9.5 million in 2003 by Pasadena, CA-based Overture, an advertising distribution network that was later acquired by Yahoo for $1.6 billion.
Such deals reflect a surging awareness of the value of data, says Stephen Coggeshall, a co-founder and chief technology officer for San Diego-based ID Analytics, which uses advanced analytics to search credit databases for telltale signs of identity theft. In terms of technology innovations that will likely lead to forming new companies, Coggeshall says … Next Page » | commoncrawl | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfjHxK4tBVhat6MiL | How much would you pay for the tooth of a deceased icon?
No one knows whether the tooth fairy will be in attendance, but a tooth belonging to former Beatle John Lennon will go on auction in England on November 5.
Karen Fairweather, the owner of Omega Auction house, chuckled when asked why anyone would want to buy the molar and noted that some have expressed interest, while others think it's gross.
"We get a lot of people buying memorabilia as investments," Fairweather said. "Or it could just be a fan that really, really wants a part of John Lennon."
The molar, which has some discoloration and a cavity -- probably why it was removed by a dentist -- will be available with a reserve bidding price of just under $16,000.
Lennon gave the tooth to Dorothy "Dot" Jarlett when she worked as his housekeeper at his Kenwood home in Weybridge, Surrey, according to her son Barry. Jarlett, who was employed between 1964 and 1968, developed a warm relationship with Lennon, her son said.
"She was very close with John, and one day whilst chatting in the kitchen, John gave my mother the tooth (he had been to the dentist to have it removed that day) and suggested giving it to my sister as a souvenir, as she was a huge Beatles fan," he said. "It has been in the family ever since."
With the exception of the last two years, the tooth has been in Canada for 40 years after Dot Jarlett's daughter married a Canadian.

BkiUdus5qU2ApzQrT4tx | Sessions's Recusal Gives Senators Powerful Leverage to Demand Russia Special Prosecutor
3 March 2017 fborgosano Leave a comment
Now that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from any involvement in investigations by the Justice Department involving potential Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the authority to make decisions on the issue — including whether the appointment of a special prosecutor is necessary — falls to the deputy attorney general.
This turn of events gives the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee the power to demand a special prosecutor, if they choose to wield it.
There is currently no permanent deputy attorney general, just Acting Attorney General Dana Boente, a former U.S. Attorney who stepped in after Sally Yates, an Obama appointee, resigned. However, Donald Trump's nominee, U.S. Attorney for Maryland Rod Rosenstein, will undergo confirmation hearings with the Senate Judiciary Committee this month.
And those Judiciary Committee members can now ask Rosenstein to commit to naming a special prosecutor before voting whether to send his nomination to the full Senate.
At least seven of the nine Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, including ranking member Dianne Feinstein of California, have publicly called for a special prosecutor to investigate potential criminal actions by Russian officials and any of Trump's associates. South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, one of the 11 Republicans on the committee, has said that "if there is something there that the FBI believes is criminal in nature, then for sure you need a special prosecutor." If the nine Democrats and Graham acted as a block, they would have the power to prevent Rosenstein's nomination from being voted out of committee.
There is direct historical precedence for this. In 1973, in the midst of the Watergate scandal, President Nixon nominated Elliot Richardson, then his secretary of defense, to be attorney general. Judiciary Committee members demanded that Richardson commit to appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Nixon. In fact, they went even further: Richardson was pressured to name who specifically he would appoint before the vote was held, and then both Richardson and his choice — one-time Solicitor General Archibald Cox — were questioned by the committee about the degree of independence Cox would have to pursue the investigation.
Only then did the committee vote to confirm Richardson, in May 1973. And once in office, he did appoint Cox. Richardson only served until that October, when he resigned in the famous "Saturday Night Massacre" rather than follow orders from Nixon to fire Cox, who had subpoenaed White House audio recordings. Solicitor General Robert Bork ended up in charge, and fired Cox.
The attorney general — or as in this case, his deputy — has the sole discretion under Justice Department regulations to appoint a special prosecutor "when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted" and such an investigation "would present a conflict of interest for the Department" and "it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel."
Other special prosecutors in addition to Cox and his successor, Leon Jaworski, include Kenneth Starr, whose investigation of Whitewater eventually led to Bill Clinton's impeachment, and Patrick Fitzgerald, who led the inquiry into the Valerie Plame affair.
Notably, Fitzgerald was appointed by then-Deputy Attorney General James Comey after Attorney General John Ashcroft recused himself from the investigation.
Attempts to reach multiple members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday afternoon failed, leaving unresolved the question of whether they will use the leverage they now possess. However, Feinstein and committee members Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Al Franken, D-Minn., reiterated their call for a special prosecutor after Sessions's press conference this afternoon.

BkiUdvs4ubnjorNy4biP | Proper (liturgy)
The proper (Latin: proprium) is a part of the Christian liturgy that varies according to the date, either representing an observance within the liturgical year, or of a particular saint or significant event. The term is used in contrast to the ordinary, which is that part of the liturgy that is reasonably constant, or at least selected without regard to date, or to the common, which contains those parts of the liturgy that are common to an entire category of saints, such as apostles or martyrs.
Propers may include hymns and prayers in the canonical hours and in the Eucharist.
See also: Order of Mass § Proprium
The proper of the mass, strictly speaking, consists of the Introit, Gradual, Alleluia or Tract, Sequence, Offertory, and Communion - in other words, all the variable portions of a mass which are spoken or sung by the choir or the people. These are sometimes called the "minor propers" to distinguish them from the collect, secret, postcommunion, and readings - in other words, all the variable portions of a mass which are spoken or sung by the priest or other attendants, such as a lector or deacon. In Roman Catholic and Anglo-Catholic practice, there is a moveable portion of the service that, strictly speaking, does not form part of the proper known as the Accentus. Portions of the Accentus are often referred to as part of the "proper" if they satisfy the criteria of changing by date (such as the Preface and Epistle).
Eastern Churches
In the Byzantine Rite, the propers are numerous and are drawn from a large collection of liturgical books, including the Euchologion, Horologion, Octoechos, and Menaion. During the ten-week period of Lent, propers are also drawn from the Lenten Triodion, and during the eight weeks after Easter, from the Pentecostarion. There are certain other books of propers as well for more specific applications, such as the Theotokarion.
The Typikon describes how the propers are to be used—and when commemorations overlap, how the propers are to be combined and which propers may suppress others. Each local jurisdiction has slightly different methods for laying out their services, but the following table outlines the basic propers for the services of the Eastern Orthodox and Greek-Catholic churches.
Stichera (hymns on the verses) at Lord, I Have Cried (Psalms 140, 141, 129, and 116)
Evening Prokeimenon (gradual)
Paroemia (readings, usually from the Old Testament)
Aposticha Stichera

BkiUd6HxaJiQn-58DiYh | Whistleblow while you work: This startup wants to make it easier to report corporate wrongdoings
Paul Sawers 4 months
From Edward Snowden's government surveillance revelations through the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica data harvesting scandal and Twitter's recent security pitfalls, whistleblowers have been the driving force behind some of the biggest news stories of recent years.
But whistleblowing isn't always about insiders shining a light on shady practices in governments or billion-dollar tech companies. Oftentimes, it's simply a case of a concerned employee wanting to report unethical or questionable activity at a relatively small scale, and raise their concerns with the right people internally to address issues before they become a public relations disaster. At its core, whistleblowing is a way for anyone directly connected to a public or private body to bring attention to practices they feel contravene some law or code of conduct — no matter how big or small this contravention may be.
And it's against that backdrop that the European Union (EU) is setting out to offer better protections for whistleblowers to report any misdemeanors they witness, anonymously and without fear of retribution. The so-called whistleblowing directive came into force back in 2019, forcing most larger companies to deploy a robust internal reporting system that allows whistleblowers to report any misdeeds in confidence or complete anonymity, while also protecting them from dismissal or any other form of retaliatory tactics.
Businesses with 250 or more employees had to implement their system by the end of last year (2021), while those with 50 or more employees have until December 2023 to get their ship in order. With the deadline fast approaching, a new company has emerged out of Denmark to give businesses of all sizes the software they need to support all manner of whistleblowing activity, without compromising the identity of the complainant.
Wrongdoings and irregularities
Founded in 2021, the aptly-named Whistleblower Software has already amassed a slew of big-name customers in its 18-month history, including telecoms giant T-Mobile. And Dutch banking giant ABN-AMRO, meanwhile, offers four ways for whistleblowers to report "wrongdoings or irregularities," one of which involves hitting the "file a report" button on a dedicated application on Whistleblower Software's website. Here, employees, contractors or anyone witness to dubious activities can provide all the details in writing, or by filing a report verbally — for this, Whistleblower Software automatically distorts the caller's voice to prevent them from being identified.
Image Credits: Whistleblower Software
The web-based platform includes a case management and secure messaging system, allowing managers to converse (anonymously or confidentially) with the person filing the report. In an age where being truly anonymous has become an arduous and often futile endeavor, this is where Whistleblower Software seeks to make its mark with the promise of full end-to-end encryption, logins via encryption keys and the ability to avoid IP tracking.
"Actually being able to be anonymous is quite tough in today's online world with tracking everywhere," Jakob Lilholm, CEO and founder of Whistleblower Software, explained to TechCrunch. "Imagine just being able to log in without leaving any tracks?"
In truth, there are numerous similar tools and technologies out there already, including legacy software from the likes of Navex and EQS, while there are newcomers such as Vault, which last year closed a round of funding from big-name backers including Google's Gradient Ventures.
Lilholm says that they're setting out to differentiate through a number of avenues, perhaps chief among them being how it's distributing its software. While any company can sign up for its platform and pay a monthly subscription similar to any other SaaS, Whistleblower Software also offers a partner program that allows consultancies such as PwC, DLA Piper, Baker McKenzie and BDO to "resell" the whistleblower technology directly to their own customers. Not only does this help Whistleblower Software scale, but it hugely simplifies things for the consultancies, as they are able to manage multiple whistleblowing channels for different companies through a single interface.
This all leads us to one obvious remaining question: Who actually receives a report once a worker submits it? The answer is a somewhat unsatisfying "it depends," given that the company itself sets up the flow for how a report is handled. However, if the company is deploying the software as it is intended, then it should give workers the option of selecting from a number of different parties — or perhaps more accurately, it should allow workers to deselect specific recipients to avoid any conflicts of interest.
A Whistleblower Software spokesperson says that based on its experiences, around half the time an external third-party is the recipient of the report, and the other half it's set up to be handled internally, such as HR, a compliance officer or C-level executive.
Don't be evil
To take things to the next level in preparation for the new EU directive, which will effectively cover some 400,000 companies across Europe by the end of next year, Whistleblower Software today announced that it has raised $3 million in a seed round of funding from investors including London-based VC firm West Hill Capital and Morten Brøgger, who was previously CEO at Huddle and secure messaging company Wire. Brøgger is also now joining Whistleblower Software's board of directors.
The global governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) software market was pegged as a $1.3 billion industry last year, a figure size that's predicted to hit $1.9 billion within six years. While existing legislation such as France's anti-corruption Sapin II law, and new and emerging regulations such as the EU whistleblowing directive, are a big part of this anticipated growth, a greater sensitivity to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues is perhaps also at play here. In some ways, Whistleblower Software and its ilk could be helping companies do what Google once professed to do by not being evil, and appease a more socially conscious workforce.
"ESG and the increased focus on whistleblower protection have driven new motives for companies to establish whistleblower units in their organizations," Lilholm said. "Essentially, the need for being perceived 'good' by employees, the need to comply with relevant local whistleblowing legislation — [they] are all reasons that we see a big trend in the market right now." | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUa2XxK4tBViZLDSRl | With the technology rapidly evolving, it's now even more important for the IT companies to step up their game. Cloud computing; thanks to ample of benefits it has offered, has been something that enterprises are driving towards in drove. Among the wealth of cloud computing services and infrastructure in the market, it might get a bit confusing what to opt for. For many businesses, the right answer might lie in the versatile, scalable OpenStack.
OpenStack is a combination of open source tools (also known as projects) that use pooled virtual resources to build and manage private, hybrid and public clouds, all of which can be highly customized per customer's business needs. OpenStack is one the leading open source option for building the private cloud environment. Private cloud distributions run on OpenStack are far better than those DIY approaches.
Although public cloud has been around longer, but adoption of private cloud is on the constant rise. That's because many enterprises are now realizing that the private cloud provide a more stable solution for their security concerns by dedicating exclusive hardware to each user. Instead of their data being stored off "in the cloud", one can point to a group of servers in a data center and say that is exclusively our data on those servers, thus alleviating security issues. It is a solution that can bring important benefits like improved uptime and reliability at a lower cost than on traditional IT infrastructure. One private cloud solution that is gaining wide interest is OpenStack, which has become a de facto standard for open-source based private clouds.
As per the current OpenStack User Survey, the share of OpenStack deployments in production is 20% greater than a year ago, with 71% of clouds in production or full operational use. In addition, the latest survey showed that 72% of surveyed said their number one business driver for deploying OpenStack was to save money over alternative infrastructure choices. Several companies have already proven out the return on investment that OpenStack can provide for their businesses.
In public cloud, the cost is usually optimized by the developing work that has a lifespan of months at max. This sort of environment might be suitable for companies that have not much workload and may need to be scaled up and down as per the demand of workload. For companies that have an escalating workload to cater and have sensitive data to deal with, then private cloud is the solution that works best for such companies. Moreover, many companies on public cloud usually find themselves paying more for high traffic workloads. Hence when it comes to network bandwidth intensive workload then in the long run it's the private cloud that saves money for enterprises.
Public cloud focus strategies are usually limited when it comes to flexibility. With OpenStack private cloud, many companies can achieve the level to flexibility they're looking for to manage their workload. In future, it is expected that many companies will opt for multiple cloud scenarios to manage their data; in that case seamless transaction of data from one cloud to another will be very important. The public cloud limits interoperability with other clouds and hence lacks the ability to move away from certain public cloud offerings, as workload demands change. This can be easily solved with the private cloud, as applications and data can be moved from one cloud environment to another.
For enterprises, all around the globe, security is understandably a foremost concern. In OpenStack private cloud, company-specific and role-based access controls can be created easily. For companies where security policies are critical to their business, private cloud works for their advantage. Private cloud lets users customize their security policies according to the individual needs of their respective business. This lets organizations to protect their intellectual property and sensitive data.
In all, OpenStack give enterprises an option to quickly and easily deploy their cloud systems, introduce new services and respond to changing market conditions. While the private cloud may not be for everyone but a managed data center operator can make the transition to private cloud computing an affordable process and enable your company to fully experience all of the great benefits of the private cloud.
If you're looking for reliable OpenStack private cloud solution for your enterprise then you might want to checkout our private cloud solutions. At VEXXHOST, a team of OpenStack and cloud computing experts are available to help you in understanding the advantages and perks of private cloud computing and how it can be best utilized for your business. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 |

BkiUbU84uBhhxJplZBJp | President Donald Trump hands a pen he used to South Korean President Moon Jae-In at a signing ceremony for the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement at the Lotte New York Palace hotel during the United Nations General Assembly, Monday, Sept. 24, 2018, in New York.
President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in have signed the first major agreement of Trump's trade agenda.
The agreement was an update with significant improvements to reduce the trade deficit between the countries.
Trump called it a "very big deal" and also revealed he would be meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a second time.
The leaders signed an update to an existing US-South Korea free-trade agreement Monday in New York at the UN General Assembly.
Trump called it a "very big deal" and said the new agreement makes significant improvements to reduce the trade deficit between the countries and create new opportunities to export American products to South Korea. He also said US automobiles, pharmaceuticals and agricultural products will gain better access to Korean markets.
Moon said companies from both countries will be able to do business under more stable conditions. The South Korean leader also said he hopes the revised agreement with the US will help solidify their cooperation in other areas.
Trump is currently on one end of a fierce trade war between the US and China that has escalated in recent days with a new round of tariffs on roughly $200 billion worth of Chinese goods.
The leaders met 12 months after Trump stood at the rostrum of the assembly and derided North Korea's Kim Jong Un as "Rocket Man." Amid touting an improved situation with North Korea, Trump received a personal message Kim had entrusted to Moon after their inter-Korean talks last week.
Trump waved off last year's tense moments at the assembly, saying he was open to Kim's message and more optimistic about North Korean-American relations at the time of this year's assembly.
"It was a different world," Trump said. "That was a dangerous time. This is one year later, a much different time."
Trump said in the "not too distant" future he would be holding a second meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that will unfold much like their first meeting, except for the location. He said details will be announced "pretty soon." Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is working out the details for the second meeting, Trump said, upon Kim's requested in a letter. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdFc5qoTAkOJ5BUZt | Senate appropriations bill includes $128.8 million to complete initial light rail segment and start building University Link
The United States Senate Appropriations Committee today approved a funding bill for FY 2009 that includes $128.8 million in Sound Transit light rail funding, the full amount proposed by Sen. Patty Murray, chair of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee.
The funding includes $100 million for Sound Transit's University Link project and $28.8 million contribution toward completing the Link light rail system that will open next year— the final installment of the $500 million full funding grant agreement (FFGA) that Sound Transit's initial light rail segment earned in 2003.
"Sound Transit is full steam ahead toward starting University Link construction by the end of the year and opening light rail service next July," said Sound Transit Board Chair and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels. "Our momentum keeps growing thanks to the hard work of Sen. Murray and our congressional delegation and our partnership with the Federal Transit Administration."
"I am so proud to provide this critical funding for Sound Transit in my Transportation bill," Senator Murray said. "With gas prices sky high and transit ridership on the rise throughout the Puget Sound, expanding our transit options is more important than ever. Expanding Sound Transit will not only improve our safety and quality of life but it will also help reduce our carbon footprint and augment economic growth for our region for years to come."
The proposed $128.8 million in the Senate bill mirrors the proposals in the President's FY 2009 budget.
Light rail from downtown Seattle to the airport, now more than 90 percent, is on schedule and on budget to open in 2009, with service to Tukwila in July and to the airport by the end of the year. The projected 2020 daily ridership for the segment is 45,000. University Link is projected to increase the regional light rail system's ridership to more than 114,000 a day by 2030. Sound Transit is working to start building University Link with a $750 million FFGA.
When University Link is completed in 2016, Sound Transit will have built almost 19 miles of light rail between the University and the airport with the taxes that regional voters approved in 1996. Sound Transit's electric light rail trains will provide a fast, frequent, reliable and environmentally friendly transit alternative that operates in tandem with bus service. Light rail stations will serve as transit hubs where people move back and forth between light rail and other modes of travel.
Light rail will help provide relief for transit users and drivers who are stuck on I-5, a facility that operates over capacity for up to eight hours a day, with vehicle speeds running between 15 and 35 mph. Already, buses can run up to 30 minutes behind schedule due to congestion. Link light rail will offer much faster travel times for transit passengers than buses. Light rail will carry passengers from downtown to the University in 9 minutes instead of 25 and to Capitol Hill in 6 minutes instead of 14. Trips between Capitol Hill and the University District will take 3 minutes instead of 22. Riders will enjoy reliable service no matter how bad the weather or traffic congestion.
The population of the corridor served by University Link will go up a projected 56 percent between 2000 and 2030, further increasing congestion and the relief provided by light rail service. Based on its tremendous benefits, the University Link project has the highest possible ranking in the extremely competitive federal funding process.
The Sound Transit Board is currently reviewing options for major expansions to mass transit service around the region for submission to voters in 2008 or 2010. Proposed region-wide expansions to Link light rail, Sounder commuter rail and ST Express bus service include parking and access improvements at many Sounder stations.

BkiUemvxK0wg09FXXEIS | Q: Iterating spatial join with multiple merge rules (and then creating raster) in ModelBuilder? I'm using a Basic licence in ArcGIS Desktop 10.3 with Spatial & 3D Analyst extensions.
I have a dbf file which contains point data for several days. I want my final output to be
a) a point feature class for each day.
b) A polygon feature class for each day with stats (e.g.: minimum, mean and maximum) for those points within a cell in a hexagon
grid.
c) A raster based on the mean value in each cell for those days.
I've got as far as having the individual point feature classes for each day (using a couple of python scripts within a model) but I am stuck on getting the iteration right for the Spatial Join and Rasters to be created.
I can't see how I can tell the model that I want the name(s) to be in a certain format.
For the Feature Classes that result from the Spatial Join I want to use the original input Feature Class name with "_SJHexGrid" appended to it.
Then for the rasters that are generated from those "_SJHexGrid" files I would want to append with "_MeanRast".
This is a diagram of the model as it currently stands (the "(wildcard)" in the Name input is just to show I am using a wildcard for illustration purposes here).

Iodide Supplementation May Not Benefit Preemies
HealthDay News — For preterm infants, iodide supplementation is not associated with neurodevelopmental benefit at age 2 years, according to a study published online April 14 in Pediatrics.
Fiona L.R. Williams, PhD, from the University of Dundee in the United Kingdom, and colleagues conducted a randomized controlled trial of iodide supplementation versus placebo in 1273 infants <31 weeks' gestation from 21 UK neonatal units. Within 42 hours of birth, trial solutions (sodium iodide or sodium chloride) were given to the equivalent of 34 weeks' gestation. The Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III were used to assess the primary outcome of neurodevelopmental status at age 2 years.
One hundred thirty-one infants died, and neurodevelopmental assessments were performed in 498 and 499 iodide- and placebo-supplemented infants, respectively. The researchers found that the primary outcome did not differ significantly between the intervention and placebo groups: mean difference cognitive score, -0.34 (95% CI, -2.57 to 1.89); motor composite score, 0.21 (95% CI, -2.23 to 2.65); language composite score, -0.05 (95% CI, -2.48 to 2.39). There was a weak interaction between iodide supplementation and hypothyroxinemic status in the language composite score and one subtest score.
"Overall iodide supplementation provided no benefit to neurodevelopment measured at 2 years of age," the authors write.

46 Four Star Mission
After meeting Old Walker, Rhode did not leave the Mercenary Association immediately. After all, their mercenary group still lacked a main tank and damage dealers. If he could hire a warrior or any defensive class, then Rhode's next quest would be a lot easier. Unfortunately, this time, he could not find the mercenaries he desired. Those classes that usually stand in the front line were rare. Usually, only soldiers would choose that class, because, after all, who fancied getting constantly hit? Moreover, the majority of the tankers were also taken by larger groups. Thus, it was challenging to locate them, let alone hire them. Rhode and Lize had circled the hall for a while and chatted with a few swordsman. However, they did not meet Rhode's requirements and naturally all of them were eliminated.
Rhode gave up for today. He began to shift his focus to think about how to increase their power. Deep Stone City didn't have much to offer left. Moreover, Rhode didn't have much money. And even if he had, he had to consider how the mercenaries would feel about joining a declining group. Some might even take advantage of their status and act bossy. Thus, he simply threw the idea of recruitment aside for now, because in front of him there were more important things to do,
First was his mercenary group points.
Lize was right. The most important thing right now was to increase their points to avoid the disbandment in winter. That should be the highest priority --- and is certainly something that Rhode must pay most attention to. At least... they should not get another zero.
Completing missions was one way to acquire mercenary group points. So far, there are two categories of missions:
Missions issued by clients, where the client would give the rewards upon completion, and missions managed by the Mercenary Association based on the client specification.
The Mercenary Association would give rewards based on the difficulty level of the mission. Missions that were managed by the Association would also provide mercenary group points.
In the Mercenary Association, mission level is divided into six levels. Regular missions and 1-5 Star-Ranked missions. The '1-5' refers to the difficulty rating system. Rewards also may differ among missions, and challenging missions usually had a stricter time limit.
Small mercenary groups were only allowed to take on Regular missions, or perhaps even 1 to 2 Star-Ranked missions. Completing Regular missions would net them 1 point when completed, 1 Star-Ranked mission would be 2 points, and 2 Star-Ranked missions were worth 3 points so on and so forth. While the small mercenary groups were limited to Regular missions and 1 to 2 Star-Ranked missions, medium-sized mercenary groups could take on 2 to 4 Star-Ranked missions. However, that didn't mean that medium-sized groups were restricted to 2 to 4 Star-Ranked tasks, but even if they cleared lower ranked missions, they wouldn't receive any points anyway. It was the same for mercenary guilds. They could only obtain rewards from 3 to 5 Star-Ranked missions.
The Mercenary Association created these rules, and mercenaries were prohibited from breaking them. This means that even if a small or medium mercenary group somehow manages to complete a 5 Star-Ranked mission, they would not be given points. But the possibility of that happening was almost zero since 5 Star-Ranked missions were all extremely dangerous, even for mercenary guilds.
With such a condition, many mercenary groups also had their methods of farming points. Groups such as the Blue Collar Mercenary Group diligently completed the lowest level missions, ensuring that their points were enough to avoid disbandment. Other mercenary groups and guilds had a choice as well, whether to play it big, or play it safe, was totally up to them.
Rhode chose to play it big. After all, his member count was way too low right now. Even if he were to diligently completed low-level tasks, the points would increase too slowly. As they say, three fists are no match for four hands. No matter what, their numerical disadvantage was not something that could be denied. Since they have no way to secure the stability, then he could only complete high-level missions to get as many points as possible.
When Rhode handed over the 'Pavel Cemetery' mission to Uncle Hank, the old man's face paled as he stared at him as though he saw a ghost.
"Are you sure you're going to take this mission young man?"
Old Hank rubbed his glasses, then seriously looked at Rhode.
"This is a four-star mission. Even large, well-geared mercenary groups can't say that they would return safely."
Then, the old man frowned and knocked his knuckles on the table.
"It's not like this old man is trying to scare you lad, but before you, the Blue Valley and Black Lion Mercenary Group had accepted this mission. All of them were veteran mercenaries, but what was the result? They received very heavy casualties. And even the leader almost lost his life. Those people had sent dozens of people but still failed in the end, and you guys..." the old man put his elbow on the table and pinched his brows, continuing, "...you guys want to complete it with TWO people? Being young and brave is a good thing, but..."
"I think there is nothing that I should reconsider."
Rhode didn't mind Old Hank's skepticism. The standard of 'strong' among NPCs and 'strong' amongst players were totally different, literally 'worlds apart' if one would add. Thus, it was useless to compare between the two. The reason why Rhode chose this mission was that of its high points and rewards.
A necromancer named Pavel lived in an abandoned cemetery which was situated in the northern part of the mountain. The mission was to kill that necromancer and his minions. As long as he could bring Pavel's head, the mission would be complete.
Of course, Rhode had his own plans of completing this mission. Besides the level and points, it was also because the card deck he had right now. Frankly, based on his current strength, he could only defeat undead creatures at best. As for fighting bandits, it would just be more troublesome. But the thing was, that necromancer called Pavel was holding onto a skill book.
Rumors said that this necromancer Pavel was once a respected bishop, later, because of some worldly affairs, he had fallen as a necromancer. He held a holy book called 'Book of Holiness,' and it was Rhode's primary goal. Because what written there was a Spirit Master skill.
Now, it is necessary to explain the level upgrade difference between the players' and the NPCs in Dragon Soul Continent.
The player advantage was obvious from all aspects. Because of skill points, they could upgrade their skill level whenever they wanted. When Rhode was at level 10, he could already possess a level 34 NPC skill. But NPCs couldn't do that. Other than geniuses and royalty, most of the NPCs used their skills that they acquired from leveling. If a comparison was made based on this, it was clear who was superior.
On the other hand, the advantage NPCs had was that their talent classification was different from the player. Many NPC classes had their talent tree integrated with one another, and they were free to choose. This made a lot of players quite envious because the player's talent tree was separated and because of the skill limitation, they could not choose what they wanted, unlike NPCs. Moreover, many talents were exclusive to NPCs only.
Other than that, the gap between the player and NPC was too big. Players could easily upgrade their levels through experience, as for NPCs, level upgrading was like a nightmare. If they wanted to level up, there were only two ways. The first one was: if the player and NPC had a high intimacy level, then the NPC would issue a quest which must be completed by the player in order to upgrade that NPC's level. Another way was to give the NPC a skill book; there was no restriction, and they did not need to reach a particular level to learn it. Thus, even a level 5 NPC could learn a level 10 skill which would immediately bring their level to 10.
But of course, that would take some time.
If he could obtain that book, then there should be nothing to worry about Lize reaching level 40. Moreover, the 'Book of Holiness' also taught many damage spells, these could make up for her weak offensive skills and become a full-fledged clergy that could fight on the front lines. Moreover, in the face of the inevitable war with Country of Darkness, teaching his mercenary group members to fight against undead creatures was a plus.
If it wasn't because of that, why would Rhode want to hang around the undead all day long? He was a living person that had no interest in the dead. In fact, if he could hire a mage, even a mage apprentice would also be useful. But unfortunately, mages were even rarer than Spirit Masters. Most of them never ventured far out from their house, let alone becoming a mercenary.
"I have decided, Uncle Hank. Please rest assured that we will complete the task."
"Hope so."
Seeing that he was unable to persuade Rhode, Uncle Hank sighed helplessly and shook his head. He wrote something on the paper on his table and nodded to Rhode.
"Well, Mr. Rhode, your mission has been registered. When you've completed the mission, just bring the token back as requested, once identified and confirmed we will give you the reward."
"I understand."
Rhode nodded and walked away. When his figure disappeared into the crowd, Uncle Hank shook his head in disappointment.
"That youngster is too reckless. Does he even know how difficult this mission is? Sigh... I don't really know what to say anymore. Such a pity... He looked so young... but...."
While speaking to himself, Hank picked up the jug beside him sluggishly.
Then suddenly from behind, a clear bright voice rang out.
"What was stupid? Mr. Hank?"
"Ah, young miss!"
Upon hearing this voice, Hank's body jolted up. He put down the jug on his hand embarrassingly and turned around to look at the person behind him while showing a trace of a bitter smile.
"Young miss, how do you have time visit me... I thought..."
"I'm the one asking you! What about the thing that I told you to do?"
"This..."
Facing this demanding young miss, Old Hank's forehead drenched in sweat. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his face as he tried to make an excuse. "This... I am currently trying. You also saw it yourself, miss. These guys are mostly average. So far I have not found the right one yet, so..."
"So that's why." A beautiful voice sounded like the birds chirping in the early morning. She paused for a while and continued, "Then what happened just now?"
"Oh, that kid."
Old Hank's expression immediately changed and began to sigh.
"That guy was overestimating himself. Miss, you've got to hear this...."
As though he finally found something else to complain about, Old Hank quickly shifted the discussion to Rhode who had recently registered a 4 Star-Ranked mission. Of course, he exaggerated the story of how Rhode presented himself. But as a member of the Mercenary Association, he could not explicitly declare that they would certainly perish as the mercenaries were very sensitive to this kind of words. Since it was their job scope to deal with dangerous tasks, if he said things such as cursing him to die, then he truly had no conscience.
"Is that so."
After listening to Old Hank's complaint, she smiled.
"That is interesting... A mercenary group with only two people dared to take on a 4 Star-Ranked mission. It really is odd, isn't it?"
"Yes, and I heard that Sereck was really fond of this guy. I really do not know which part that Sereck would fancy about him..."
"Uncle Hank."
Old Hank was suddenly interrupted halfway by the girl.
"I have something that I hope you can help, but I don't know whether you were willing?"
"Yes, as long as it's within my ability, there's certainly no problem."
"Well, then..."
But after he heard that girl's demand, Old Hank's face turned green. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdZnxK3xgpbERDPJN | How Much Are You Spending on Gifts? JWU Faculty Experts Weigh in on Holiday Spending
Caitlin Isles
Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come and gone, but they were just the beginning of what is projected to be a very busy holiday shopping season. College of Business faculty experts Diane McCrohan and Kristen Regine each made an appearance on local news channels to share some insight into this year's shopping trends, deals and strategies.
McCrohan sat down with WPRI 12 before Black Friday to discuss retail trends, estimated spending and why some retailers are nervous about this holiday season. She explained that because of how the holidays fell this year, there are only 26 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, which is the shortest shopping season in six years.
"Retailers are nervous because we lose six days — we lose one shopping weekend," McCrohan told WPRI 12's Susan Campbell.
The shorter window has led many retailers to begin offering discounts well before Black Friday. But, despite having less time, retailers are expecting to make more money this year than in the past. According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), holiday sales will top $728 billion in November and December, a 4% increase from 2018. The NRF also reported that the average consumer plans to spend $1,048 on holiday shopping this year.
Kristen Regine also sat down with NBC 10 to share some tips on how to "Hack the Holidays". She revealed that with online shopping being so popular (Adobe Analytics projects an estimated $143 billion in online holiday spending!), many retailers are offering free shipping deals.
"The biggest secret really is to be part of those email lists, because they'll send you separate coupons and special coupon codes for free shipping that you won't be able to get when you Google 'RetailMeNot'," Regine told NBC 10's Emily Volz.
She also encouraged shoppers to take advantage of in-store pickup services to avoid any shipping costs or porch pirates. But, for those who prefer their items to be delivered to their door, there are some important dates to know about:
Friday, Dec. 13 — the last day to ship some UPS Ground Packages
Saturday, Dec. 14 — Free Shipping Day; the last day for ground shipping from the US Postal Service
Monday, Dec. 16 — the final day for guaranteed ground delivery from FedEx
"Really know your paying points and have a budget in mind," Regine concluded.
It sounds like a simple piece of advice, but many shoppers don't realize they've overspent until it's too late. Don't be that shopper! Learn from the bills of holidays past and take the advice of JWU's Business experts.
Happy shopping and Happy Holidays!

Red Tractor Assurance launches new look to mark 20th anniversary
By johnswire 20 March 2020 No Comments
LinkedIn Tweet Share Email +
Red Tractor, the UK's largest food and farming assurance scheme, has today launched a new logo which aims to set out the credentials of the food which carries its logo.
The new visual identity addresses a number of the challenges that the British food and farming industry face – clearly differentiating to consumers the food which has been carefully produced to world-leading standards, to ensure that it is safe and fully traceable.
The design reflects the work that Red Tractor has been undertaking to help improve its status and emotional engagement with consumers.
Drawing on its 20-year history of checking British-sourced food and drink all the way along its journey from farm to pack, the new logo retains the union flag to signify that the product has been grown, reared, processed and packed in the UK.
The key changes to the logo are:
The recognised name of the scheme – 'Red Tractor' replacing Assured Food Standards
An updated tractor to modernise its appearance and to bring it in to line with the TV advert's look and feel
The red tractor sitting on a 'tick' – recognised by shoppers as indicating that the product has been checked
The words 'Certified Standards' to clarify what Red Tractor does
The heart in the wheel, to demonstrate the care and attention that is taken to produce the food
The launch comes as new research has found that Red Tractor has a much higher level of awareness than all other food assurance marques. Eight out of ten shoppers are aware of the logo and see it as a positive, reassuring on-pack signpost in supermarkets.
Red Tractor CEO Jim Moseley said: "While it's great news that almost 80% of British shoppers recognise Red Tractor and see it positively, our research also found that people were uncertain of what sits behind the logo or its benefits.
"Given the great care and attention that Red Tractor and our farmers put into ensuring that the food we eat is safe and fully traceable, we owe it to our members to improve shoppers' and diners' understanding of the scheme.
"Created 20 years ago to rebuild trust in British Agriculture after a spate of food scares, the logo was designed to be very utilitarian. Two decades on, we are facing a new watershed moment, with the market facing huge uncertainty with the ongoing trade negotiations.
"At this time it is critical that we help shoppers to clearly differentiate which food has been produced and checked to world-leading standards from farm to pack – and the simplest way to do this is to look for the Red Tractor and the tick."
Red Tractor is a unique assurance scheme covering animal welfare, food safety, traceability and environmental protection from farm to pack. This ensures that families across Britain have access to safe and affordable food.
With over 46,000 British farmer members, approximately 75% of UK agricultural output is Red Tractor assured. Membership provides a route to market to the major supermarkets and some of the UK's largest customers – resulting in over £14 billion of British produced food and drink carrying the logo.
Mr Moseley added: "The new look for Red Tractor is one of a number of new initiatives we have been working on to improve shopper understanding, increase choice and to strengthen the robustness of the scheme.
"We believe passionately that hard-pressed and time-poor Brits shouldn't have to work hard to buy quality food they can trust, whatever their budget. And by choosing the Red Tractor, they are helping to foster a better future for British agriculture, farmers, growers and producers."
The roll out of the new logo is expected to take around 18 months as many of the UK's popular brands update their packaging. It will be supported by a new 12-month £2 million 'Tractor Test' campaign, designed to increase shopper understanding of Red Tractor by getting the nation to think about the food they buy, where it comes from and how it's been produced.
Using seasonal produce and other core categories the campaign will illustrate the journey Red Tractor food has taken, the quality of the standards and robustness of the scheme – from farm to pack.
The campaign will kick off with the popular Red Tractor TV ad running on prime-time TV, digital channels and on-demand over Easter.

Michele K. Short/HBO
With the unveiling of the 2018 Emmy nominations, Bill Hader is riding high. Picking up five total nominations—four as the writer, director, star and executive producer of HBO dark comedy Barry, nominated for best comedy series, and one as a guest host on Saturday Night Live's most recent season—the SNL alum saw the fruition of a longtime creative dream.
"Not to sound too corny, but I moved out here in 1999 to be a filmmaker, and a writer and everything. I was a PA and an assistant editor and a crew person, and it was just because Megan Mullally saw me in a show that I got on Saturday Night Live and all this stuff," Hader told Deadline this morning. "What I always wanted to do was something like Barry. That's my sensibility. To get a chance to finally do that and play that kind of character, I'm super proud of that."
Bill Hader: HBO's 'Barry' Is 'Less Stressful' than 'SNL' – Produced By
In the HBO series, which he created with Silicon Valley's Alec Berg, Hader stars as Barry Berkman, a hit man from the Midwest who longs for a new and entirely different life as an actor.
Certainly, it's difficult for any new series to break through at the Emmys in its first season. Hader wasn't anticipating such a strong showing for Barry—which made today's results all the more satisfying—though he did have a sense early on that the series was working, even with the difficult tonal balance it pursues. "I feel like after we did the pilot and HBO watched the pilot, I felt very comfortable in knowing what the tone was," Hader recalled. "Then once we got in the writers' room and started writing Season 1, we were feeling like, 'Okay, yeah. This is really working.'"
Having worked on SNL for many years, Hader adjusted easily to the multitasking involved with creating and starring in his own series. As an artist, the ability to engage in all aspects of a project's creation was one of the most invaluable lessons SNL could offer. The other? "Just try to relax and have fun," Hader shares. "Which I do."
"On the set of Barry, in even the most sad scenes, I like to try to keep it light. I think everyone does their best work when they feel confident, when they all know what's happening and what we're doing," the multi-hyphenated added. "The more relaxed we can be, I think people do their best work in that environment."
As surprised as he was by the success of Barry today, Hader was perhaps equally taken aback by his nod for SNL—a series which still makes him nervous, despite his wide-ranging comedic abilities and the recognition the show has brought him.
"It's the live TV aspect of it. I don't get nervous on set at all, and even in front of a big audience, I'm not that nervous. It's just the red light above the TV, and knowing the whole nation's watching, and I'm like, 'Oh gosh, you have to land this,'" Hader reflected, laughing. "That really makes me terrified, and when I get really nervous, I laugh. So there you go."
Without disclosing much about Barry's second season, Hader shared where he's at with the series' next run, and a bit of what to expect going forward. "We've been writing since March, and it's going good," he said. "It does feel like it's a bit darker than last season, which I'm digging."
Looking ahead towards what should be a more diverse creative future as a multi-hyphenate talent, Hader is taking today in stride, without setting too specific of expectations. "You kind of want to go in a direction, but if you try to plan it too much, it doesn't work in my experience," he said. "I mean, I didn't think I'd be on Saturday Night Live."

BkiUdno25V5ipqzw51M- | Kids love to play games, and they should be encouraged to do so as much as possible. It isn't just because it is fun, play has an essential role in their mental and physical development. Playtime will help your kid's brain development and allow them to explore skills such as motor, creativity, and communication.
Many everyday tasks can be learned through play, and even if you don't have a lot of time on your hands to dedicate to playtime, pretty much any activity can be adapted in a way which involves your kid. In this post, we will highlight the importance of playing for kids and make some suggestions on how to integrate play into your daily routine.
One of the things we often hear parents say is that they have no time to do exercise. Well, you can actually exercise, with activities such as yoga, in a way which will involve your baby or young child. There are numerous yoga poses which are possible to do with a baby in your arms or underneath you. The intimate nature will help your baby emotionally and strengthen their muscles.
Your baby is going to be inquisitive to the sights, shapes, and sounds of the world around her, so try and make it fun by doing show and tell, as well as using soft toys which she can learn to grab and hold.
This might seem like a funny way to play with your child, but it is a great way to be smart with your time and interact with your child. You can turn any household job into a fun activity by incorporating movement or songs. Your little one will appreciate the time they get to spend with you, and they can also be taught new skills.
As your child starts to move around, you are going to have a hard time getting them to stay in one place for longer than five minutes. This is just part of their natural development and should be taken advantage of by allowing as much time for movement as possible.
From an early age, you can play music and dance with them around the house, this helps them respond to different rhythms and develop coordination. Balls are great for children of all age, and as they grow, you can change the complexity of the activities.
As a family try to get out and about as much as possible. Give your kids lots of opportunities to run and play games. It helps them develop physically and build confidence so the more, the better.
Even if you are super busy, it is crucial that you do set aside some dedicated playtime for you and your child. You don't have to do anything special, just sit yourself down with your child and see where their imagination takes them. This form of unstructured play can help them develop their creativity – it can also be a lot of fun for you too!
The dedicated time will help build up a stronger emotional bond with your child, but don't worry too much if you feel pressured by time.

3 weeks in Intensive Care.
I was abused ..Darkness, pain and rejection was what became learnt behaviour. My Light was flickering for Predators to see..I was vulnerable. Looking back at my journey I am proud of who I am today..and my light shines bright to encourage other Victims and Survivors to honour their healing journey too.
I loved making arts and crafts at Nursery and playschool..

All I ever talked about was flying!
I used this very stool and another chair to balance and reach for something on top of the wardrobe. Wishing I could Fly!
I loved being a Witch... making spells so bad people could tell the truth and wouldn't hurt me or anyone else anymore.
I was in this room until I left 'home' as a teenager.

Associate Professor Genelle Belmas was quoted in a Wired magazine story about gamification and voting behavior. Gamification may have the potential to increase attendance at the polls, and while Samantha Bee's new initiative, a trivia app that focuses on educating voters, may not result in additional votes being cast, it's a step in the right direction.
Belmas also was featured in a KU School of Law blog highlighting a third-year law student, Jacob Elberg, with whom she co-authored a paper they presented at the annual AEJMC convention in the Law & Policy Division this summer in Washington, D.C. The blog post discusses the paper as well as Elberg's internships and future plans. Elberg was a communication studies major and journalism minor.

BkiUa8Y4eIZijWIz13On | An Inquiry Into the Scriptural Doctrine Concerning the Devil and Satan: And ...
Por Walter Balfour
enumerate. See the quotation from Pierce, on Col. 1: 26. above.
The phrase, eis tous aionas, is used in the following places, and is rendered forever and for everinore. Matth. 6:13. " for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever." Luke 1:33. " And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever." Rom. 1:25. and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed forever." Rom. 9: 5.66 who is over all God blessed forever." And 11: 36. "to whom be glory forever." And 16: 27. "to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever." 2 Cor. 11:31. 6 the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who is blessed for evermore." Heb. 13: 8. " Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." 1 Tim. 6:16.
In the following texts, the phrase eis tous aionas occurs, and is joined with ton aionon, and rendered "forever and ever," in ascriptions of praise to God and to Christ. Thus for example, Gal. 1: 5. "to whom be glory forever and ever." The same for substance is repeated in the following texts, which it is unnecessary to quote. Philip. 4: 20. 2 Tim. 4:18. Heb. 13:21. 1 Peter 4:11. and 5:11. Rev. 1:6, 18. 4: 9, 10. 5:13, 14. 7:12. 10:6. 11: 15. 14:11.15: 7. 19: 3. 20:10. and 22: 5. It occurs also in 1 Tim. 1:17. in an ascription of praise to God, which I shall
quote, as it requires some notice. 66 Now unto the i king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God,
be honor and glory forever and ever." When God is here said to be the king eternal, most people think the apostle meant to describe the endless duration of the divine being. But on this text let us hear Macknight, who thus writes. 6 Now to the king eternal. Perhaps, TW de Baldinei TWv diww, may be better translated, to the king of the ages, namely, the age before the law, the age under the law, and the age under the
Messiah. According to this translation, which is perfectly literal, the apostle's meaning is, To him who hath governed the three dispensations under which mankind have lived, so as to make them cooperate to the same great end, the pardoning of sinners, and who is immortal, &c. be honor, and glory forever, ascribed by angels and men." There is no cause for alarm with good people, that these views are attempting to do away the eternal duration of God, for surely his endless existence is independent of the meaning of a Greek word, whether you give it a limited or an unlimited signification. Besides, in this very passage he is called the " immortal (aftharto) God." In some copies it is the athanato, or undying God. No one can doubt that Macknight's rendering is a literal, correct one.. The apostle is then rendering praise to God, who is king throughout all the ages, that before the law, under the law, and the age also of the Messiah. This king purposed an eternal purpose, Eph. 3: 11. which Macknight thus renders, "according to the disposition of the ages, which he made for Christ Jesus our Lord." See his whole note on Eph. 3:11. part of which I shall only quote.
6 Abw, age, is a word of various signification. Here, in the plural, it denotes the dispensations of religion under which mankind have been placed ; namely the Patriarchal, in which a Saviour was promised; the Mosaical, in which he was, typified; and the Christian, in which he was manifested in the flesh, and preached to the world, as
All these ages or dispensations, the apostle saith, God planned and brought to pass for the sake of Christ Jesus; that is, to prepare mankind for his reception.-Rom. 16 : 25. Tit. 1: 2. (see the note on that verse,) xcover alw1101, signifies the ages of the law, or Mosaic dispensation. And Eph. 3: 9. Col.
1:26. Awes, signifies the Jews, living under that dispensation."
There are a few more texts, in which the words everlasting and eternal occur, to which we shall now pay some attention, in connexion with these quotations. When God is called the king of the ages, the question occurs—What ages ? According to Ewing and others, the answer is, the age before the law, the Mosaic age, and the age of the Messiah. The king of the ages then, disposed, or appointed the ages, for Christ Jesus. Before the Mosaic age, a promise of life was given in Christ Jesus, Tit. 1:2. This we shall see more fully afterwards. It was promised to our first parents; also to Abraham, that in his seed all the families of the earth should be blessed. This was done during the patriarchal age. During the Mosaic age, the law was added to the promise until the seed should come. Many things connected with this dispensation, we have seen, were called everlasting; but which, having answered the purpose for which they were added to the promise, have vanished away. The age of the Messiah succeeded it, bụt it is to be succeeded by no other. When the end of it comes, Christ is to deliver up the kingdom to God the father, which appears to be at the resurrection of the dead, 1 Cor. 15: 24—29. Several things during the reign or kingdom of Messiah in this age, is called everlasting or forever. His kingdom is called the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ," 2 Peter 1:11. And surely it may be called so, with more propriety than many things under the Mosaic age or dispensation, for this kingdom is not to be superseded by another taking its place, for when it closes it is said then cometh the end."
The gospel of the kingdom of the Messiah, is called " the everlasting gospel preached to the nations," Rev. 14:6. And why is it called everlasting ? Be
cause it shall be preached as long as the kingdom of the Messiah shall continue, which shall be to the period called the end. Hence it is said, the word of the Lord endureth forever, 1 Peter 23. And Christ promised that the spirit or comforter should abide with his disciples forever, and is called the eternal spirit, Heb. 9: 14. Some copies, however, only read holy spirit. Such as believe the everlasting gospel, and enter into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, receive "everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 2 Thess. 2: 16. Or, as Macknight says that is, the means of never failing consolation." To be so highly honored is thus expressed by Peter, 1st. Epistle 5:10. " The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus." Let it be observed, that eternal glory is not said to be a future thing, but that to which Peter says they were already called. They receive the promise of eternal inheritance, Heb. 9:15. If the land of Canaan was given to Israel, and called an everlasting inheritance, as it often is in the Old Tes. tament, how much more might the inheritance in the kingdom of Jesus Christ bestowed on Christians, be called an eternal inheritance? It should be recollected, that the apostle was writing to Hebrews, to . whom such language was familiar. Besides, this, we shall afterwards see, is the same that our Lord calls enjoying eternal life in the world to come. And is it not the same that Paul calls inheriting the kingdom of God and of Christ, 1 Cor. 6: 9, 10. Gal. 5: 21 ?
The new covenant or dispensation, like the covenants under the Mosaic age, is called the everlasting covenant. And surely it may be called so, for it is not to vanish away, and give place to a new and better covenant, like that of the old. Christ's blood was that by which this new covenant was confirmed, and is called the blood of the everlasting covenant, Heb.
13: 20. Having purged his people, not as under the law with the blood of goats and calves, " but by his own blood, he entered in once unto the holy place, having, obtained eternal redemption," Heb. 9: 12. 66 And being made perfect through suffering, became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him," Heb. 5: 9. Christ's salvation is called a great salvation, Heb. 2: 3. probably in reference to other salvations which God wrought for ancient Israel. And here it is called eternal in the same comparative sense, for God wrought many salvations for them. This salvation was abiding. Comp. Luke 1: 74, 75. Is it asked-Salvation from what? I answer, not from hell and endless misery, for this is no where said in Scripture, but from sin and death, which Christ shall finally accomplish. See 1 Cor. 15.
In 2 Peter 3:18. we have also the following ascription of praise. "To whom be glory both now and forever. The Greek here is seis hemeran aionos." Macknight says this is '" unto the day of eternity." But how can this be, for what has eternity to do with days ? · Besides, how does this agree to some quotations made from him respecting aionos, which he says means an age. We should say the text simply says—"to him the glory both now and unto the day of the age." Some copies have it, " unto the age of ages," similar to passages noticed above. We should think the duration expressed is "during the age of the Messiah."
Luke 16:9. - That when ye fail they may receive you into everlasting habitations." Dr. Camp
"the epithet unrighteous, here applied to mammon or riches, does not imply acquired by injustice or any undue means; but, in this application, it denotes false riches, that is, deceitful, not to be relied on." Well, does not the epithet' everlasting, applied to habitations, mean stable and satisfactory ? See

BkiUaKvxK6-gDyrT6iyd | Savard: Headshot was intended to injure
BOSTON, March 27 (UPI) -- Boston forward Marc Savard, whose season ended this month with a hit to the head, said Saturday Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke was trying to hurt him on the play.
Speaking to reporters for the first time since March 7 when he was leveled on a high-speed, blind-side shoulder-to-head check by Cooke, Savard said he's watched the video of the play and still can't recall it thanks to the lingering effects of the concussion he received.
But he said he's not ready to forgive the Pittsburgh player because he feels Cooke intentionally tried to hurt him.
"Obviously, I've viewed (the hit) a couple of times," Savard said. "I think it was a play that didn't need to happen. It was a situation to me, it wasn't a shoulder.
"I watched the (Mike) Richards-on-(Florida's David) Booth hit. I think that was a shoulder and I think mine was more of an elbow. I think there was an attempt to injure there. Obviously, I was very unhappy with what happened and it could have been avoided very easily."
The hit prompted the NHL's Board of Governors and players union to quickly agree to make blind-side hits to the head illegal.

A fantasy with lots of talking and little action. Not really inspiring or entertaining. Kind of a space filler for an evening. There are better movies to choose from, go for it.
the lead actor is the best actor of all time
Two and half hours, not counting previews and extras, you're looking at over three hours. Toss in the expenses of a theater and you're paying around 12 per hour for the honor of seeing a weak and boring movie.
The previews of upcoming movies were the highlights of the evening. That tells you what you're in for.
Great poster, lots of hype, and then the movie simply dies on the screen. Remember when you thought the Hobbit would be more of Lord of the Rings? Remember how bored you felt watching it? This is worse. You're imagining you're going to see a really good Marvel Movie, and then you get, this.
Who told Chad Bosewick he could act? The man makes embalmers look like they're life of the party.
I found this to be worthy of ............. got nuthin'.
At best a B movie. The ratings systems throughout North America are bought and paid for by the studios and especially Disney which owns most of the media these days. If you look overseas where studios depend upon to make money on the real stinkers, they are not posting even close to what the horrid Fantastic Four took in.
By July, the world will have forgotten this trip, but they will still have your money if you go. Remember the hype before the Hobbit? Before Bladerunner? Before every crap movie you saw that you were told it was good? This another example for the list. You will see it on Netflix next month, you may as well wait.
Not a very good movie. Weak, predictable and waaaaayyyyyy too long. It's not like it was a deep movie or something. Bad guy good guy, good wins in the end yada yada, It's superhero movie that's supposed to elevate and inspire, instead, you're bored to tears. Don't waste your money. | commoncrawl | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUa1c4ubnjopEPtvWI | L'escultura d'Arrancapins, és la segona de les escultures en ferro encarregades a l'artista Melchor Zapata per commemorar el 750è aniversari de la Fundació de la ciutat de Castelló i en record dels personatges que formaven la colla de 'Tombatossals'. L'escultura presenta a aquest gegant de força sobrehumana agenollat davant de l'arbre que acaba d'arrencar de la terra la planta amb les seves arrels davant la mirada del seu company d'aventures Tombatossals que l'observa des de lluny. L'escultura descansa sobre un basament que li fa tenir major altura al Carrer de Carlos Fabra Andres, 3, 12004 Castelló de la Plana.
Aquesta escultura està dins de la Guia Urbana d'escultures de Castelló. Te 8 rutes per a visitar més de 112 escultures que hi ha per la ciutat.
Els noms de Tombatossals, Bufanúvols i Arrancapins són d'allò més significatius a Castelló de la Plana. I existeixen diverses escultures que decoren diferents rotondes en què apareixen aquests mitològics personatges que tanta importància tenen en la història de la ciutat. Les tres escultures són obres de l'artista sevillà Melchor González Zapata.

BkiUavHxaJJQnJ5kSbJq | Clues for This Weekend's Single
Thu., Aug. 13. 2020 10:44pm EDT
We plan to release our 14th single of 2020 by the end of this weekend, Lord willing. Here are your clues. Think you know the artists? See how many references within the clues you can spot. We counted 16.
SONG #1
Sometimes different people who claimed to be believers attempt to move on to what they think are greener pastures, treating God like He's their ex-girlfriend. They choose to believe a comforting lie that He doesn't exist, though underneath it all they know they're running from Him. But He still can be heard through His rock-steady Word.
Goliath approached with a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound. A veteran of the seismic wars between the Philistines and their foes, you could feel the thunder when he walked and talked. His career of evil was built on dominance and submission; others raised white flags lest he beat 'em up or kill them. Then along came a certain shepherd.
Once the new single is released, we'll announce it on our website and Facebook.
There are now 153 singles/EPs (313 songs) in our "downloads for a donation" series, including our latest single, "Celebrity Kin" and "Miriam Girl," featuring parodies of Hole and Trisha Yearwood.

BkiUeDk4eIOjSZd0FWPd | Representatives for pop star Taylor Swift told streaming-music partners that her new album won't be available through their services during its first week of sales, people familiar with the matter said.
The services are still negotiating with Swift's team to determine when "Reputation" will be made available, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private talks. The album will be on sale in retail outlets as well as online stores like iTunes starting Nov. 10. A Swift spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
For most of the music industry, streaming is the future, helping propel global sales to 5.9 percent growth last year. But Swift and a handful of other high-profile acts gunning for the top spot on the charts still find sales of physical and digital records more lucrative. Beyonce only made her latest album, "Lemonade," available on one streaming provider, Tidal, which is co-owned by her husband Jay-Z. Adele shunned streaming for months after the release of "25" in 2015.
It's still possible Swift changes her mind at the last minute, but she has been one of the most vocal critics of streaming, saying in a column for the Wall Street Journal that the services devalue music. Spotify, the largest of the streaming providers, offers much of its catalog for free, supported by advertising. Paying subscribers get the full library, including new releases artists have chosen not to offer to everyone. Apple Music, the second-biggest, doesn't have a free version. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Common Application Essay Personal Statement
Poker is Life. Life is Poker. So the saying goes. Now, my life does not revolve around poker, but I do learn a few things from it: luck, logic, forbearance, and risk. Life is full of uncertainty, and so is poker. Some people bet on luck, just like the guy sitting to my right yesterday. He went all-in before the flop, scaring half the table into folding. I hate to make big blind bet, but I would rather accept my hand and try my best, so I called.
Sometimes risk can be quantified, and I love taking a calculated risk. In that same game yesterday, the flop was five of spades, eight of spades, and five of diamonds. As I was sitting on a pocket of a six and seven of spades, I had a 2/47 chance of getting a straight flush and winning for certain. Considering that the call was just 2-thousand against a pot of 50-thousand Vietnam Dongs, any logical mind would have called. You see, with a leap of faith and a bit of logic, uncertainty can turn into opportunity. "Raised!" Shouted the guy to my left. The rest of the table folded, except me and a bespectacled guy. Was the guy who had raised just bluffing? Was he not? It is not easy to see through a person's poker face, even when you have played with him for a long time.
In a repeated game, the experienced player can intentionally get caught bluffing earlier, so that no one will later suspect that he has an upper hand when he goes all in. I have read that some people are so good at manipulating their appearances that they don't need to show their hole, and such manipulation applies to many life situations other than poker. It is the very byzantine nature of humans that intrigues me, that leads me to explore interdisciplinary fields as an undergrad, then obtain a graduate degree in psychology and eventually become a clinical psychologist. But when I first told my mother about my intention, she was fervently opposed. "Do you think you can deal with the mentally unstable or the sociopathic?" sneered my mother. She has a point. No matter how well-trained I am after years of undergraduate and graduate study, how can I be completely trusted to detect a person's lies or to determine whether a suspect was in his right mind?
It is while playing poker that I realized that uncertainty will always exist in life; one needs to embrace it and act, using all the knowledge – and luck – that he has in order to test different possibilities and minimize the risk. That's what I did in my poker game: raising the stake on the turn, a king of diamonds, to test my opponents. The glasses-wearing guy immediately called, but the guy who had raised was hesitant before matching my bet. Sensing his uncertainty, I figured he only had a medium-strength hand, but given that he only had less than 5% of the pot in his stack, he would certainly go all in on the river. Luck was on my side, as a nine of spades appeared in the end, completing my straight flush. All that's left is to manipulate the last betting round. I checked. Thinking I was bluffing in the previous round, both of my opponents went all in. This tactical check essentially tripled the pot I won.
I know that the opponents I defeated yesterday can come back and surprise me tomorrow, and that they are as complex as the personalities I will face if I pursue a career in psychology. But I am ready to walk that road. As we sometimes say in poker, "the only way to live meaningfully is to go all-in." I want to use every bit of brain and brawn I have to create my own fortune.

BkiUa584uBhhxE6Lw3Mm | In the '60s, before Sesame Street and The Muppet Show made Jim Henson a household name, the lanky puppeteer directed several short films. One of them, the hour-long documentary Youth '68, made its debut on the "NBC Experiment in Television" program on April 21, 1968. In this first installment of "For Your Reconsideration," a new Esopus series which will present forgotten works by well-known figures, we feature an excerpt from Henson's script for the film. Part screenplay, part collage, it offers a fascinating glimpse into Henson's hands-on working method and conveys his unique perspective on a tumultuous period in U.S. history.
While a freshman at the University of Maryland, Jim Henson (1936–1990) was given his own puppet show, Sam and Friends, on a local NBC affiliate. Its success led to guest appearances on national talk shows and to hundreds of commercials for sponsors throughout the country. In the late 1960s, Henson and his team produced more than two dozen live-action and animated shorts for children's show Sesame Street, and in 1975, the "Muppets" characters he had been developing and refining over the past decade made their television debut on The Muppet Show. The program's remarkable success led to feature films including The Muppet Movie, The Muppets Take Manhattan, and Muppets From Space. During the 1980s, Henson brought two fantasy films to the big screen, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and also created a number of other TV series and specials, including Fraggle Rock, Jim Henson's The Storyteller, and Jim Henson's Greek Myths. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUcgTxK6nrxq6Dm2D5 | After announcing nearly a million dollars worth of funding for our Valley yesterday, Local State Member Melinda Pavey was back again today for two further cash giveaways, this time as part of grants from the Office of Environment and Heritage in order to reconstruct the seawall at Bellwood, and restore the Beach Access Way (Nyambaga Walking Trail) between the V-Wall and Shelly Beach.
The Bellwood seawall project received $28,000, while the walking trail got a cool $15,000. Both projects will be matched dollar for dollar by Council funding.
There is still no design drawn up for the seawall; Council said that now funding is in place real planning can begin. And council general manager Michael Coulter said Native Title needed to be consulted each time the Council plans to do any estuary foreshore improvements.
But it will involve replacing the existing rotting wooden structure with a recycled or environmentally-friendly and more long-lasting retaining wall.
While the Nyambaga Walking Trail will see the current path improved to ensure access for people with limited mobility.
"If you've ever walked the track on a really hot day, there are some areas where it's really dry, deep loose sand. And if you go there in the morning, there's a truckload of older people who do the walk over to Shelly Beach. It's a popular walk but it's proven to be a difficult walk for a lot of people," Mayor Rhonda Hoban said.
Works on the projects will likely start in the 2019/20 financial year during the off-peak tourism season.
"The two locations are very iconic areas in the Nambucca Valley. Nature has handed us two very beautiful locations, but they need to be protected and enhanced if possible. Tourism is a huge contributor to our local economy, and both locations are very popular with tourists, but also with locals," mayor Rhonda Hoban said.
"And they also have great significance to the local Gumbaynggirr people.
Both projects are about making sure that the community and visitors can use these areas in a sustainable way, so that we don't get long-term damage. We still want people to be able to enjoy these locations in 50, 100 years' time.
Mrs Pavey said the latest swathe of funding announcements for our little Valley are a result of the Nambucca Shire Council being "particularly good" at submitting applications for funding based on comprehensive plans they have usually drawn up years in advance.
"We tend to be working on the plan so that we're ready to go when the applications for funding open," grants officer Teresa Boorer said.
Mayor Hoban said that extra diligence "hopefully puts us at the front of the queue if we've got that background work done as opposed to a competing council that hasn't done their homework".
"Budgeting ourselves each year for these projects can be a slow eating-an-elephant-type process, whereas if we're successful in grant funding that gives us a leg up in progressing those projects.
Mrs Pavey said the recent cash bonanza wasn't going to slow down any time soon, hinting at another cashsplash in the coming months.
"The next big announcement we should have by the end of the year is investment in the Valla Industrial Estate. So Council has asked for our support in creating jobs and a new manufacturing industrial area in Valla. We're in a very unusual situation in that Council does own that area and has seen it as important for the future of the Shire given the limitations on space at the Macksville Industrial Estate currently.
The anticipated amount of funding to come out of that announcement is just over $5 million. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbKTxK03BfJXwu6XM | Until March or earlier: ban on performances in neutral status extended for Russian athletes
Russian athletes will not be able to perform as neutral athletes until the next meeting of the World Athletics Council, which will be held in March 2021. However, they still have a chance to get admission before this time, if the All-Russian Athletics Federation manages to prepare ahead of schedule a plan for its recovery in the International Federation, which will be approved by World Athletics. Independent experts, including the former deputy general director of RUSADA Margarita Pakhnotskaya, will assist in drafting the document.
The Council of the International Association of Athletics Federations (World Athletics) has postponed until March 2021 the issue of assigning neutral status to Russian athletes.
However, athletes will have a chance to get admission earlier and compete in international competitions this winter.
This was announced by the head of the working group for the restoration of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) Rune Andersen.
"We discussed the neutral status for Russian athletes.
We need to wait and see how the situation develops.
But such a possibility exists.
If everything goes as we hope to see under the new leadership of the ARAF, then we will discuss this issue and will be ready to recommend the council to make a decision on neutral statuses, "TASS quoted him as saying.
By March 1 of the next year, ARAF must submit its plan to restore membership in World Athletics - this is one of the three sine qua non conditions for the July decision of the International Association Board to exclude ARAF from its membership does not come into effect (now its implementation is suspended) ...
ARAF must also continue to pay the costs incurred by World Athletics in connection with the renewal process (the last payment was made between April 1 and September 30 in the amount of $ 321.5 thousand) and follow its restoration plan when it is approved.
The head of the working group noted that ARAF has achieved some success in drawing up a recovery plan, which must be submitted strictly before March 1, 2021.
The Russian side has the right to submit the document before this deadline, Andersen said.
To work on the plan, two independent experts will be involved, who will keep in touch with ARAF and World Athletics.
They will be the former deputy general director of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) Margarita Pakhnotskaya and Lithuanian change management specialist Vladas Stankevicius.
Former World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) expert Peter Nicholson will help them remotely.
"For direct work with ARAF, highly qualified international experts have been appointed to help draw up detailed strategic and operational plans with clearly defined goals and dates.
A new agreement has been made that defines how the working group and international experts will help ARAF agree and implement these plans, and also ensures that ARAF will continue to cover World Athletics' costs during this time.
International experts have already started working with the top management of ARAF and noted that they are responsive and constructive in their approach, "Andersen said.
On November 30, the election of a new president of the ARAF was held, which was won by the head of the Russian Triathlon Federation (on December 5, new elections for this position will take place) and the General Director of the High-Speed Railways company Pyotr Ivanov.
Andersen noted that he had already contacted Ivanov and expressed his hope for close cooperation, which will ultimately lead to the restoration of ARAF.
"If he invests the necessary efforts and resources in this project and enlists the support of persons interested in ARAF in Moscow and the regions, the working group and international experts will be ready to help him achieve the restoration of ARAF as part of World Athletics and the return of athletes to international competitions," he said. head of the working group.
In turn, Ivanov, who has already become the third functionary as president of ARAF in 2020, said that he was ready to accept the conditions of the working group and fight for the return of neutral status for Russian athletes.
"Based on the results of the press conference, I can say one thing: we are given one more chance.
But this is not just a chance - it is also a great responsibility.
Questions on the formation of a strategic plan for the recovery of ARAF will become the main ones when making recommendations from the working group.
Restoring the status of neutral athletes is an integral part of these processes.
A start has been made, we will strive to justify this trust, "Ivanov said.
It should be added that even if Russian track and field athletes are allowed to compete as neutral athletes, they will have to comply with a quota of ten people at the official World Athletics championships and the Tokyo Olympics.
It will be possible to put up a full team in the competition only after the restoration of ARAF in the international federation.

BkiUc0o4dbgg3Wyislkd | The book's hero Rafe returns to his old middle school, Hills Village, after being kicked out. The condition of his return is that he will be in a special classroom getting extra academic help. He starts playing football so that he won't get bullied by Miller the Killer. Rafe's passion is art and he finds a way to express this in his school. The major theme in the book is finding creative ways to deal with bullying and learning to accept yourself and your talents.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. The reader spends part of their time laughing and part of their time feeling compassion for this character. This book works better if you've read other books in James Patterson's Middle School series. While the book works as a stand-alone, the other books provide helpful background into the character's motivations and history. "Just My Rotten Luck" is a great book to read when you are a little stressed. It's a fun journey that reminds us to use our creativity in innovative ways.
My favorite moments in the book are when Rafe is in action as Operation S.A.M. He posts a version of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" and tells readers that he likes Munch's name as much his art. In these episodes in the book, Rafe channels James Bond pretending that the janitors are cyborg guards. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

There's no chance Captain America is going to miss this one. In the must-win matchup vs. Iran, Christian Pulisic stepped up when needed, scoring the game-winning goal for the red, white and blue. However, it came with a cost.
Pulisic suffered a scary injury and he had to be helped off the field. There was worry he wouldn't be able to rock for the Round of 16, but that won't be the case. Pulisic will be on the field this weekend.
"I asked Christian Pulisic point-blank, 'how are you doing?' and he looked at me with a smile and said, 'I'll be good.'"@JennyTaft gives the latest injury updates on Christian Pulisic and Josh Sargent 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/bHMsVM1j25
That's a huge relief for USA soccer fans. Pulisic is the leader of this team and he'll be needed on the pitch to try and help the U.S. record an upset vs. Holland. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUf0g25V5jgwLP9O1V | Justin Gingrich (the man behind GTI) served 10 years on active duty in such honored units as the 3rd Ranger Battalion (1992-1996), 20th Special Forces Group (1996-1998), and the Ranger Training Brigade (1998-2001). Justin is also a police academy graduate and served in Iraq with a civilian security firm in 2005. For two months, Justin worked in post-Katrina New Orleans providing much needed security for the private sector. He also instructs private security contractors, U.S. soldiers, State Department employees and civilians in the art of patrolling, demolitions, shooting and CQB techniques.
In 1998 he began in the cutlery industry and since then Justin has been on the cutting edge of innovation. He started with American Tomahawk company where he pioneered the modern tactical tomahawk. In 2001 he founded Ranger Knives and continued to design tomahawks and hard use knives. In 2002 he left American Tomahawk company to focus on his own knife and tomahawk designs. In 2008 he sold Ranger Knives to Ontario Knife company while continuing to do design and prototype work for the Ranger line. In 2009 he formed GTI (Gingrich Tactical Innovations) under GTI Justin continues to be on the cutting edge in the tactical market not only with his hard use knives and tomahawks but also with other tactical products that fill gaps in the tactical marketplace. He has a list of accomplishments that any blade smith and knife designer would be proud of. Since starting his own company he has been recognized as the "go to" guy for companies and individuals wanting to do a new blade design.
What follows is a short list of some of the elite units and companies that have sought out Justin's expertise and professional approach to the design, prototype and production process involved to get the company and individual exactly what they want and need to fulfill their mission set.
In 2008 Justin was commissioned to do a tomahawk specifically for Task Force 1st Battalion 153rd Infantry upon their return from Iraq.
In late 2008 early 2009 the Marine Corps EOD unit came to him and asked him to design a knife. This being the first time the Marine Corps EOD unit had ever commissioned a knife to be made specifically for them and the special environment in which they were working in in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2010 Justin was the first knife maker to ever be commissioned by the US Army Ranger Training Brigade to do a knife for them, not only a knife but their 60th Anniversary knife. The blade was featured in Tactical Knives in 2011
In 2011 Justin was again commissioned by a military unit to design and produce a blade just for them. The 95th Civil Affairs Brigade out of Ft. Bragg.
In 2012 Justin was approached to this time do Jump Master Knife for the following units on Ft. Bragg 8th Psyop, 5th BN 1SWTG, 3rd BN SWTG.
In 2013 and again in 2015 he was asked to design, prototype and produce a knife for the Psyop Regimental Association.
At the same time the civilian market had taken notice of his talents and added to his list of notable "firsts" in the civilian marketplace.
Justin designed and prototyped the first ever Damascus bladed gentlemen's folder for Queen Cutlery. This was something that had never been done since they opened their doors in 1902.
"When 5.11 Tactical decided to create hard-use tools for use by serious Operators in the real world they reached out to Justin Gingrich of GTI to leverage their expertise. With GTI's extensive background in designing and building tactical tomahawks and large fixed blades, and their solid reputation for integrity and dedication, the decision was simple. 5.11's PeaceMaker Tomahawk and CFK 7 Camp and Field Knife are the first two products to make it through the design and development process and additional designs will follow. If you're a fan of GTI you're really going to be impressed by the products of this new strategic collaboration."
Ranger Up, an apparel company, has also leveraged Justin's talents. To date they have done two successful limited edition blades designed and produced by Justin. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbFg5qsFAfvtmoyWA | College, Career Center Update For School Board
TERESA HAMMOND
Updated: March 1, 2017, 7:18 a.m.
Presidential holidays may have delayed the date for the February Oakdale Joint Unified School Board meeting, yet the evening proved to be informative and exciting for board members as they learned about the Oakdale High School Career Center.
Called to order promptly at 6:30 p.m. Monday evening, the board and audience was first addressed by Ted Thome of Oakdale Educational Foundation during the Public Comments portion of the meeting. Thome addressed the group on behalf of the Eighth Annual SOS (Support Oakdale Schools) Fun Run. The event will be hosted Saturday, March 11 beginning at 8:30 a.m.
According to Thome the event earned a total of $13,000 in 2016, which went directly back to teachers and the schools.
"That money was given to OEF and passed on to the teachers," he said. "We gave out over $140,000 from the OEF. It was a pretty good year."
At the conclusion of Thome's presentation he was thanked by board president Barbara Shook for the detailed information on where the money goes.
"It's a good event and it's nice to see whole families out there participating," Shook said. "I'm amazed by how many families run at this event."
OHS Teacher/Work Experience Coordinator Marty Fauria, complete in red graduation cap and gown, then addressed the board to report on the changes with the OHS Career Center.
Fauria shared that each time he addresses the student body, he does so in a cap and gown with a countdown of days until they receive their diploma and his commitment to their readiness.
"When that moment happens," Fauria said of graduation, "when that diploma passes from your hand to their hand, that they will in fact have a plan.
"It may not be perfect or go according to, but there will be a plan," he continued. "On the OHS campus there is a renewed commitment that each student will have a plan for life after high school."
Fauria noted that the 'plan' idea was formulated last year.
"When Mr. Malone, Mr. Moore and I sat down last spring we kind of made a commitment," he said. "Well, you don't 'kind of' make a commitment; we made a commitment that we were not going to ask any board member to award a diploma without that student having a plan."
Fauria shared with the board the importance of stating the words 'College and Career' ready, in varying order and always including the word and versus or. He noted that research has shown today's job market, regardless of field, may include: college, advanced training or internships.
For the 2016-17 school year, the OHS Career Center has been revamped and staff member Lisa Jones was noted as an addition, which has played as a significant part in that. Fauria stated that adding Jones to the staff has been instrumental with connecting with students.
"We're trying to make it more efficient," Jones said of the Career Center. "I've tried to figure out efficient ways we can work together. We have a nice work center, I truly enjoy having students come in and take the time to work through lunch.
"They have busy schedules or maybe they don't have a computer at home, maybe they couldn't print that assignment. They're welcome to come in at any time."
Following the presentation Fauria and his team were thanked by the board for their thorough and informative report.
"We've made tremendous strides this single year much to the credit of Martin Fauria," Superintendent Marc Malone said. "It's because of his equity with his staff and his equity with the community that we've been able to make the connections. And we've been able to make the connection as accurately and an impactful as we have for our kids."
Other items tended to during the meeting included a $5,000 contribution from Oakdale Rotary Club to be put towards Oakdale Schools Arts Programs. The contribution will be made annually to the district by the service club.
"In Oakdale we support all different types of student activities," Malone said, "and Oakdale Rotary is particularly fond of our arts program and as a board they wanted to have an impact on an annual basis."
The board also approved moving forward with Jon Isom, Isom Advisors, for refinance of general obligation bonds from the 2002 election year. An action which once finalized will save the taxpayers upwards of one million dollars from reduction in cost.
As customary the meeting was begun with local students leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Magnolia Elementary students Luke Machado, Olivia Ellis, Jacques Melo and Mykayla Kilifi were given the honors.
The next meeting will be conducted on Monday, March 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Oakdale City Council Chambers, 277 N. Second Ave., Oakdale.

He remarked that this beauty is something that audiences have never seen on the screen before. In Ninh Binh, there are three locations: Trang An, Van Long and Tam Coc – Bich Dong, were selected as the background in the blockbuster movie. Located less than 100 km south of Hanoi, Trang An includes a system of heritage sites including natural heritage and cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO. In Kong: Skull Island, Trang An shows up with a mysterious valley, a limestone karst system, a land of wild, beautiful strangers. The scenery of Tam Coc is characterized by the harmonious combination of rock and water. The limestone mountains have been weathered and eroded into a variety of unique shapes, these scenes always bring a sense of excitement for visitors.

Along with the majestic limestone mountains has been eroded into the miraculous cave system. Also appearing in the movie Kong with many spectacular scenes, Ha Long Bay has impressed the audience with beautiful scenery of thousands of majestic limestone islands.
Halong Bay was the first filming scenes when the film crew came to Vietnam. This is one of the seven natural wonders of the New World, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The blue sky with many limestone islands lying among the ocean, the spectacular caves systems became a familiar image of Ha Long Bay.
Quang Binh is prominent in the movie Kong: Skull Island with majestic scenery with large cave systems and forests, wild shoreline.
Inspired by the fairy tales that are familiar to millions of children around the world, Pan quickly drew the attention of the audience at the time it was released. Hang En, Ninh Binh, and Ha Long Bay were chosen by the Warner Bros. The film crew spent $ 150 million on production costs. Before filming 1 year, the film crew came to Vietnam, explored and used camera control flyers and other advanced cameras to capture the most beautiful views of these wonders. In the film, the audience will be admired the Hang En (Spring swallow cave), the third largest cave in the world in Quang Binh, green mountain ranges in Ninh Binh, and beautiful islands like the legendary Halong Bay.

Adapted from the well-known literary work of the same name, the Quiet American was created by director Phillip Noyce, was debuted in 2002 and has been considered one of the best films about the Vietnam War. The quiet American marked the historic milestone for the first time a Hollywood film has been filmed in Vietnam.
In addition to the dramatic triangle love among a Vietnamese girl and two foreign men and the true history about the period when American army replace France colonial in Vietnam, the film also impresses audiences by the beautiful, poetic scenes. About 50% of the film footage was filmed in Vietnam, with filming scenes stretching from the North to the South. Director Noyce chose the Quarter town of Hanoi to re-enact the scene of Saigon in the 1950s with French architect and narrow ancient houses. Filmmakers must work meticulously at every location during the 12 hours a day to capture the best frames.
In 1989, director Régis Wargnier who made Indochine went to Vietnam to look for the film background. The film premiered in 1992 and won numerous awards for directors and actors. It successfully described Vietnam during the French colonial period and revolved around the life and love of French living and working in Vietnam.
This is the first foreign film crew allowed to enter the Imperial Palace (Hue) the mausoleum in the Royal Citadel. Even the local authorities allowed the film crews to build sceneries in King Bao Dai's palace, the crew faced a lot of challenges in asking for permission. Hue Citadel is the last feudal city in Vietnam which still retains the status quo, so it is often used as a movie theater for many movies about ancient time. Ha Long is also known as the main scene in Indochine film. In Ha Long, the film crew set up a film studio in the area of Vung Oan. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUa9rxK0zjCsHeYsRL | Oct. 20, 2013. High Country Press asked candidates in the Blowing Rock Town Council and mayoral races four questions. As the candidates respond, answers from those running for Blowing Rock Town Council will be posted here and those running for mayor will be posted here.
Sue Sweeting is running for Blowing Rock Town Council.
As a resident of Blowing Rock for over 30 years, I have come to love the beautiful mountains views, lush parks and seasonal weather. I enjoy the small, village character of the Town of Blowing Rock, with its history, visual and performing arts, and outdoor activities. The most redeeming quality of Blowing Rock, however, is the warm, loyal, caring and giving people who live here. The character of this town is as important to me now, as it was to me and my family, when my girls were growing up and attending Blowing Rock School.
I am running for Blowing Rock Town Council, in order to give back to my community. My goals include promoting unity and harmony on the Board, returning pride and respect back to the Board, citizens of Blowing Rock, and the Town Staff. I will attend Board meetings and be accountable to the citizens of Blowing Rock. I will also work to protect the small village character of the Town of Blowing Rock, as we embark on the widening and completion of 321 Bypass.
As an experience thinker and active listener, I have proven myself as a Nurse Practitioner, Member of the Blowing Rock Planning Board, Member of the Watauga County Commission, Coordinator for Appalachian Advanced Healthcare Providers and Chair of the North Carolina Nurses Association Council of Nurse Practitioners.
I would be honored to serve the citizens of Blowing Rock on Town Council.
HCP: Considering Blowing Rock's lackluster population growth in the past decade, as an elected official, what would you do to attract new residents – both full-time and seasonal – to Blowing Rock in terms of being an attractive place to live, work and play?
Sue Sweeting: The current economy and the trend across the United States, has more to do with the lack of population growth in Blowing Rock, than our Town. Blowing Rock is a wonderful place to live with beautiful mountain views, lush parks and one of the best school systems in North Carolina.
We need to continue to preserve our green spaces, historical buildings, visual and performing arts, and outdoor activities to attract full-time and seasonal residents. Protecting our village character will continue to support our tourism and residential growth.
As a Town, we must address the demand for affordable housing for young families, employed people, older adults and people with special needs.
HCP: What ideas do you have to address infrastructure needs of Blowing Rock in an aesthetically pleasing manner?
Sue Sweeting: There is a need in the town to replace 30% of our older water lines with ductal iron. In addition, 30% of our sewer lines need be fixed. There are several residential areas such as Laurel Park that should be considered for sewer instillation.
The town needs to plan for these projects and others, including sidewalks, improving street and road conditions and storm water runoff. As a Council, we must seek Grant money to help reach these goals that will benefit town residents.
HCP: While maintaining the charm of Blowing Rock, how would you support economic development and tourism in terms of getting new businesses to fill empty storefronts and keep current businesses operating in town?
Sue Sweeting: As a member of the Town Council, I will support the TDA and Chamber in their recommendations to bring new businesses to town and sustain the businesses we already have.
The Town Council can assist businesses, developers and economic development by reducing the parking fees for new business, providing proper directional signage and streamlining the planning and inspection process.
HCP: Generally speaking, how do you see the Town of Blowing Rock evolving years from now? Do you see this evolution in a positive or negative light for both tourists and/or locals?
Sue Sweeting: The Town vision must include, how we as a community, will maintain the Village character and charm as we are faced with the completion of 321Bypass, economic issues and population growth.

BkiUd1LxK6Ot9UjEB4X5 | Africa's football governing body, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has lifted the two-year universal football ban it imposed on The Gambia earlier this year, following the latter's decision to field in over aged players during its match against Liberia in the Under 20 youth championship qualifies, thegambia.nu has gathered.
"The news is very good, yesterday (Thursday) I had the opportunity to speak to the Technical director of CAF and he informed me that the two-year ban imposed on The Gambia is officially lifted," announced the new president of the Gambia Football Federation (GFF), Lamin Kaba Bajo during an interview he granted to the Daily Observer Friday.
It came four months after the country was slapped with a two-year suspension from all levels of CAF competition after the continent's ruling body found them guilty of age cheating. The ban had ripped The Gambia of the right to contest the qualifiers for the 2015 African Nations Cup as well as its clubs for the Champions League and Confederation Cup competitions in 2015 and 2016. The five who were reported to be over age are Sampierre Mendy, Buba Sanneh, Bubacarr Trawally, Saloum Fall and Ali Sowe. They were all found to be older than the cut-off year of 1995 after they took part in a qualifier against Liberia on April 6th.
The news will no doubt be received with great joy and relief among Gambian fans taking into consideration the shock and embarrassment the country was plunged into after the imposition of the universal ban. Since then, the issue has become the topic of football politics in The Gambia, fuelling divisions and losing of confidence in people who matter in the administration of football in the country. The status quo led to the dissolution of the Mustapha Kebbeh-led executive, ushering in a new Normalisation Committee appointed by the world football governing body, FIFA. The near-two month normalisation process culminated into the election of a career Gambian diplomat, Lamin Kaba Bajo during an extra ordinary congress held this month. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfC85qhDCX84sQy9b | All my life I have been wanting to open up and live what I sensed was the real essence of who I really am inside myself. I had somehow gotten all tangled up with false me's - I wasn't sure exactly how, but I had become bound up and constricted by something I was doing in myself.
I worked in many spiritual self development modalities and meditation techniques for over 25 years, seeking a way to just be "me". Of all the practices, methods and processes I have tried, Cosmosis® has opened that door and let me make the real changes in myself which I longed for.
I love the way with Cosmosis®I can feel stuff come up for me, and I can just release all the judgment which is holding it, and allow the energy of what I'm feeling to release and heal into a really appreciative, safe, and loving space with myself. This is really important to me both personally and professionally, because I want my life to be a healing experience, whatever I'm doing.
I would recommend Cosmosis® to anyone feeling inspired to change and get in touch with living their most cherished aspirations.
Cosmosis® has helped me move from a place of low self worth, lacking in confidence, feeling I don't really have anything of value to say or add to the world, into a person who now delivers workshops and speaks at conferences. I don't feel the need to hide behind masks of who I think I should be, and I am discovering more authenticity each day, really in every moment. To acknowledge the truth of who you thought you were, let go of all the old faulty programs and move into a new way of being is very powerful. You know something works, when your husband even notices the difference.
I have been practising Cosmosis® for about 4 years now. With more stillness and clarity of mind I have an increased personal resilience and a big reduction in anxiety & stress levels which used to rule me. The Process allows me to let go of sabotaging thought patterns and tap into heart based decisions. With an allowing of my true feelings, life dramas have lessened, and I am manifesting liberating outcomes for both myself and my family! I am truly grateful for finding 'Cosmosis®' which is assisting to transform my life into a journey unbound.
I find Cosmosis® to be a most valuable tool to have and be able to use in ones day to day living of life. Being a security officer, I have experienced Cosmosis® in helping myself clear thorough any triggers or issues within myself in the moments whilst on the job assisting me to regain my composure and to be able to respond from a more professional space of integrity!
Nothing in my long life (I am 74) has been (and is) as transformational as this 10-step process. Changing habitual emotional states is not an easy thing to do. The Cosmosis® Process has allowed me to gradually peal back the layers and feel the difference over time. I have been using this Process for three years now. It was slow going to begin with, and sometimes still is, when a powerful feeling attached to a long-held belief comes along to be cleared. However, it is also a Process that allows me to clear as fast as a single breath. Each of the ten steps is a principle to live by, and as they are lived, they become immediately available for instant transformation of a negative emotion. Just learning the ten steps is transformational! I have had a tough history with much baggage to clear and a history of many attempts at clearing. I can recommend the Cosmosis® Process as the one that has benefited me far more than anything else I have done in my life.
Cosmosis® keeps my wheels turning. Anytime I get stuck, if I pause for just a moment a word comes to me. It will be one from the process and as I lean into it it rolls into the next and I am flowing again. A tool of elegant simplicity and continuous unfolding, it never ceases to aid me and offer me greater awareness and ability to grow with grace.
Cosmosis® has become a shining light in my life, always present as a sacred gift, empowering me to heal deeply many emotional experiences accumulated during a full life. As a long time meditator I had learned to switch off, though this merely acted as a survival mechanism. When I began working with Cosmosis® I learned how to be fully present and grounded, acknowledging what I am feeling and then utilising the process to embrace, heal and transform my feelings into unconditional love and self-acceptance. This incredibly simple yet empowering process continues to unfold as do I into new beginnings, new potentials and an ever expanding capacity to love and live an even richer life of potential.
Cosmosis® is a way of living, the application and practice of this transformational process results daily in an opportunity for me to heal and to become greatly aware of myself. It is a process within which I am empowered to not be impacted by the events of my life, yet to be the one who can draw from within what I need to make and be the change I seek that is love and spirit centred.
As a commercial attorney and partner in an A-V Rated firm in the United States, I have found the Cosmosis® process invaluable to my business. As an entrepreneur and employer, I am clearer, more grounded and better able to meet the needs of clients and to wisely manage our staff. As an attorney, I often deal with people who are angry, confrontational and upset. The Cosmosis® process has helped me to maintain clear and appropriate boundaries, be compassionate and not take things personally while negotiating settlements. I used to be stressed, anxious and overwhelmed at work, and this manifested as personality conflicts and tension between various members of my staff. Now, I feel calm and filled with a sense of wonder and joy, and my staff works more harmoniously as a team with each person doing what needs to be done. My firm is also more prosperous; money and new opportunities are flowing, and it no longer feels like a struggle to run the business. I am so grateful for the Cosmosis® process. It's opened up a whole new way of being for me that has changed my life.
At the beginning of my journey Cosmosis® was a tool, one that I would pick up and use when needed, one that I often remembered to use in times that were tough going and I would feel better for using it, it took me back to a place where I felt more equipped to deal with life's challenges, it restored a sense of equilibrium and calm and a bigger perspective to deal with situations, troubling emotions or thoughts. It enabled me to function better in the world.
After some time of using this as a tool, I noticed a difference, it stopped becoming just a tool, it actually changed me at my core, rather than something that I would pick up it became a part of me, a new way of living my life, my way of looking at the world became permanently changed, to become more inclusive, more expanded, less judgemental to be in touch with a bigger perspective and viewpoint on life that certainly filled my life with more joy and love.
It was a deep down shift, into permanent change, they weren't just steps to use, I was changed so that permanent healing could occur where in turn I would feel more of the love and wisdom that I already hold within me. This tool both helps clear the way to get in touch with the wisest most loving space that is intrinsically within me and allows me to take everything I experience as an opportunity to become more than I ever thought I could be, to know and feel myself as so much more. It became something that assisted me in being the best that I can be, and it became a living breathing part of being the best that I intrinsically am.
The actual steps can also become an anchor, a map, when I feel something is off, when life is not flowing, when I feel dragged down or effected by the outside world I can check back in and use the 10 steps as a reference point to find where I may have lost some focus, where I could re-focus some energy internally to get back into flow, or feeling connected to something more within me.
In studying more and more things, whether that be psychotherapy or eastern and western healing modalities, Universal truth and wisdom is Universal, and I see more and more the unity, wisdom and potential that lives within the process, where I go 'oh that's Cosmosis®'. In applying this 'tool' it shapes and changes you to experience life in a completely different way, to be more of yourself, more in touch with that deeper loving compassionate wise being that we all are, it assists you to identify with that as being who you truly are able to deal with whatever you may feel, think or experience in your life.
I'd been on the spiritual path a long time before I found Cosmosis®. At least I thought it was the spiritual path, but now I see I was just doing a lot of going around in circles, accumulating lots of 'knowledge' and some interesting and certainly uplifting experiences but not making consistent ground towards actualising real change and expressing my potential as a spirit. I see now that there was a lot of push pull going on with spirit, I had some major trust issues with myself and the world and lots of wounding that I didn't understand, so I tended to give myself a hard time, which only tied me up in further knots.
Finding Cosmosis® was the answer to a prayer. I've now been on a journey with it for over 3 years and I have so much more clarity, both within myself and in my relationship with all of life. I feel my heart and my life is opening and expanding, I'm feeling more switched on and I'm finding my place with spirit in the world. I've healed many wounds and now I'm working to reclaim my self determination and truly get myself on track with where my heart has wanted me to go for a long time. It's happening and it feels solid. I am so grateful for Cosmosis®, truly I feel blessed to be part of this work.
Ever feel like you're going around in circles and ending up in the same spot in life? That's exactly how I was feeling after my last relationship failed, I kept making the same decisions and ending up in the same place, different scenery but the end result was the same and each time I felt like I had a lost a little piece of myself.
I have been working with Cosmosis® for four years now and in that time I have been able to rebuild my personal values, values that I held others to but had completely lost within myself. I had completely devalued myself because of the scars I carried, I felt they defined me but I realise now that I define them, I honour them for the life I am living now.
Cosmosis® has really helped me break the cycle I felt I was running, I'm able to be more authentic and true to myself, without getting bogged down with the expectations of others but rather be in my own sovereignty. I really feel like I am always embarking on the new and that's a great place to be in each and every moment. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
