Cryptocurrency is an electronic currency. It is additionally named a digital currency. It is actually a digital asset that handles its own deals using cryptography, cryptography is actually utilized impenetrably and validates the transactions.In several countries, coinspot review are used as different currencies. Bitcoin was added in 2009 as the very first decentralized cryptocurrency. After that, various cryptocurrencies came onto the marketplace. These are actually usually known as Altcoins. These money make use of decentralized management as a weight to central digital money as well as core banking bodies.
Circulated administration makes use of Bitcoin’s blockchain transaction data bank like a paid for ledger. A security gadget generates decentralized cryptocurrency at a predefined price, which is connected to the general public. In central financial as well as the Federal Get Device, boards of supervisors or authorities take care of the approving of money with imprinting devices of money, as well as the swap is accomplished along with electronic bankbooks. Having said that, in a decentralized cryptocurrency, companies or even authorities can easily not produce brand new companies or deliver support to different firms, banks, or companies that keep a property.
Satoshi Nakamoto Team made the rooting specialized gizmo for decentralized cryptocurrencies. Almost a many thousand cryptocurrencies were made by September 2017, many of them similar to Bitcoin. In cryptocurrency bodies, safety, honesty as well as standard ledgers are actually maintained with the aid of a staff of collectively dubious parties referred to as miners, whereby the community is legitimized by the use of their computer system bodies as well as timestamp transactions are sustained through certain timestamp system. Miners, if you want to keep the security of a cryptocurrency ledger for economic causes.
Most cryptocurrencies are actually regularly reducing the creation of money, topping the whole entire quantity of money in transmission and also copying valuable steels. Unlike ordinary money, which are actually secured by means of currency institutions, such as holding cash in supply, cryptocurrencies are challenging to appropriate by law enforcement. This concern is because of using cryptographic technologies. Police authorities encountered this trouble in the Silk Road situation, in which Ulbricht’s Bitcoin stash was actually “encrypted”. Crypto-currencies like Bitcoin are actually pseudonyms, although attachments including Zerocoinhave been actually advised to offer authentic privacy. | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2019-12-06T04:19:59.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
https://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2011/06/07/tacko-closed-until-next-week/ | Tacko on Fillmore.
Tacko opened less than two weeks ago, but as many disappointed would-be customers found out yesterday, it was closed last night. It will be closed again tonight. Lead partners Nick Fasanella and Douglas Marschke are hoping to be back in action as soon as possible, and right now, the plan is to reopen on Monday, June 13 Tuesday, June 21 (see update below).
The reason is not for lack of business — the line was literally out the door for much of last week, and plenty of Fillmore folks were turned away last night. The closure is due to a few complicated issues, but principally, it’s because the whole kitchen had to be turned over. A new staff has been hired, and training is underway, with the goal of reopening next Monday.
Update 6/13: The new goal is to reopen on Tuesday, June 21.
Update 6/21: Indeed, it’s back open.

d651dda4679c18c6c97c0850fb2ee060 | Locate Hwy. 20 running north to south, (Mariazell to Graz). Next, find the small village of Thörl. Quite close to an old castle, a road signed St. Ligen forks north. Follow this (paved) road 11.7 kilometer to its very end. There is a large parking and a nice lodge called Bodenbauer. This place can be recommended for an overnight stay. The location is N47.58027, E015.11301, elevation about 890 meter.
Walk further along the small road towards the mountains. Fork right two times. The route is obvious and well marked with red/white paint. The path climbs up close to the cliff, then climbs nicely up into this small, alpine valley directly below the mountains on the south side. Eventually, the trail turns left and climbs grassy slopes in order to gain a high plateau just below the rock face. The route runs up a very distinct gully directly right of a prominent rock. The route is extremely well protected, first a long staircase with a chain as handrail. Higher up, iron steps, cable and iron hand holds. A lot more than ordinary mountain hikers would need. The route reaches easier terrain, crosses a small hill to reach the main saddle before a final, easy ascent to the summit. There is a small shelter/hut in this saddle. This route is YDS class 2+ due to the steep section, but no climbing is required.
There is an alternative route that stays (YDS) class 1 (trail) all the way. First walk from Bodenbauer to the hut Häuslalm. This hut is located in a saddle, you basically fork left at the first road fork. This hut is located at N47.58923, E015.07548, elevation about 1530 meter. From this hut, a nice and well made trail climbs gradually, first up a small valley, then up and across more open mountain terrain to reach the main crest. Next, this trail runs along the crest (that is more or less east), while avoiding the local summits. This route merges with the more direct route described above, at the small shelter/hut.
After climbing Hochstadl, I drove to Greith where I had a nice lunch (also breakfast), then I continued to Bodenbauer. Good place and a nice evening dinner. A local thunderstorm came around 1700 with heavy rain. Now, by 2000, the sky is blue and there is sunshine on the high peaks.
I decided to wait for breakfast, it was scheduled at 0700, but was ready at 0645. I left at 0705. A nice morning and a nice trail took me up to a pretty enclosed alpine valley. Higher up, the steeper section turned out to be quite easy with massive amounts of cable, chains and steps. I arrived at the summit around 1030, there were several parties there, most likely arriving from other directions.
After a 20 minute break, I headed back down. The weather seemed to hold and I decided to make this a loop hike. After 2 hours I was at the Häuslalm hut. A big, cold beer was just too nice to pass, a 15 minute rest was not bad indeed. The clouds looked kind of omnious by now and at 1305 I continued hiking down towards the valley floor and Bodenbauer. I arrived back at 1405, the first thunder came just 2 minutes before I was back. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-26T06:22:27Z | c4 |

28b4805b3b00ceac37e48e561023dd58 | The showman went to the island of Barbados. Rustam Solntsev and his mother having fun on the Caribbean sea. A man has posted a tidy sum for the opportunity to give mom an unforgettable journey.
Exemplary son Rustam Solntsev often pleases his beloved mother is traveling abroad. In recent years the man and Valentina S. had six times to go to new York and Miami. This pleased the reality star went with mother to the island of Barbados to soak up the Caribbean coast.
“Flying with a transfer, first to new York and then to Bridgetown, capital of Barbados, – says Rustam. – First day, mother was in the room came from the road, and I have, apparently, the flights have already developed immunity, I do not get tired and the whole day was walking through the area. The local situation reminds me very much of the city of Nassau, capital of Bahamas. This is not surprising because both cities are subordinate to the American flag. Paying in dollars, though they do have local currency. There is almost no Russian, and who has already managed to say Hello to me or even make a photo for memory is very nice.”
For fun eight days to spend in Sunny Barbados Rustam gave a tidy sum of half a million rubles.
“Yes, relax there is not cheap, says the sun. But I don’t regret the beauty here is incredible. Also I do not mind that I travel with mom – I like her a lot fun and it does not bother me, although friends and acquaintances every time I am surprised and twist a finger to his temple, when we go somewhere together. Like, why do you need this? It would be better with someone close to them departed… And me with her mother on the buzz, I am very happy to see the native resting. She raised me, I owe her a favor and always happy to see her joy from the gifts that are presented to her. Besides, mommy I have modern, advanced, not kluska some. We always have something to talk about, something to discuss and a good laugh – she’ll say something, I’m falling from her humor.”
Rustam hopes the rest will help him finally recover after surgery – recently, the entertainer underwent blepharoplasty and on his face are still visible traces of surgical intervention. “Because of this, I can’t go to the beach without glasses – not below the sutures direct sunlight,” says Solntsev. | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2019-04-18T21:21:02.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

https://www.wesa.fm/post/upmc-hearing-gives-glimpse-bitter-highmark-feud | In this Nov. 18, 2015, file photo, Pennsylvania Attorney General deputy James A. Donahue III, left, prepares to testify during a Senate committee hearing in Harrisburg, Pa. The state called Donahue as a witness Monday.
Two days, three witnesses and hundreds of pages of exhibits all boil down to one question: Did UPMC agree to a clause that would give the state a chance to extend its 2014 agreement with UPMC and Highmark?
At stake is whether people with Highmark insurance will still be able to access UPMC care after that agreement's June 30 expiration date, or whether they'll face exorbitant out-of-network rates.
Executive Deputy Attorney General Jonathan Scott Goldman made the case that UPMC, stacked with elite attorneys and expensive outside counsel, should have fully understood in 2014 that a "modification provision" in the agreement gives the state the right to change the agreement's expiration date.
UPMC attorney Lee DeJulius made the case that UPMC never would have agreed to an extension and provided emails he says show it had twice rejected such an idea.
Through dozens of emails and internal documents shown as exhibits, the Commonwealth Court hearing gave a glimpse into the bitter turf war between the two Pittsburgh-based health systems.
Because the two companies wouldn't meet in person in 2014, the state had to negotiate with them separately. Scanned copies of hand-written notes in the margins of legal documents were emailed from UPMC to state agencies, which then had to interpret those documents to communicate with Highmark.
"The biggest issue was that UPMC would not sit with Highmark, would not be in the same room with Highmark, and wouldn't share the same documents with Highmark," said witness James Donahue III, an executive deputy attorney general.
UPMC saw the modification clause in the agreement as a way to fix small errors that may happen as a result of those "warp speed" negotiations, said witness Tom McGough, UPMC Chief Legal Counsel.
Never did UPMC think the modification clause would be used to change the five-year term limit, which UPMC considered a "core principle" of the agreement, McGough said.
"To me, that would be fraud, to consciously put back into an agreement something that had been explicitly negotiated out 24 hours before," McGough said. "It would be inconceivable."
Goldman said UPMC agreed to the terms willingly and under the review of "sophisticated" legal counsel, at one point noting that at least three of UPMC's attorneys in court that day are former U.S. Supreme Court legal clerks. If UPMC failed to add a "carve-out" in the clause, it couldn't "go back in time" to change what was meant by it.
"Mistakes were made," Goldman said. "Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one."
The three witnesses -- all attorneys -- recounted a story long-familiar to people in Western Pennsylvania.
Testimony by Highmark Chief Legal Officer Thomas VanKirk and McGough said that tension came to a head when Highmark acquired the struggling West Penn Allegheny Health System in Pittsburgh and UPMC chose not to renew insurance contracts with the company, seeing it as a competitor.
That led to the 2014 consent decree brokered by Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, the attorney general's office and the state departments of insurance and health departments.
VanKirk also shed light on why Highmark spent millions to acquire a 20 percent interest in Hershey-based Penn State Health, even as it was focused on improving former West Penn facilities in Allegheny County.
"In fact, we were protecting ourselves from the central part of the state by acquiring Penn State Health to protect consumers, so UPMC, which had just acquired Pinnacle, couldn't do the same thing to consumers there that it had just done in Western Pennsylvania," VanKirk said.
At a news conference, UPMC spokesman Paul Wood said there won't be a repeat of those fights in the midstate.
"We're only talking about, we will not have a contract with Highmark where we compete head-to-head as hospitals, and that's been in Pittsburgh and Erie County," Wood said.
Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson said he hopes to decide by Friday whether to allow the state to seek an extension.
UPMC has said it will appeal to the state Supreme Court if the judge rules in the attorney general's favor.

https://www.franchising.com/news/20160129_fastfix_jewelry_and_watch_repairsreg_celebrates_30.html | BOCA RATON, FLA. (PRWEB) January 29, 2016 - Three decades after first introducing the world to the value and convenience provided by its trusted team of expert jewelers and watchmakers, Fast-Fix Jewelry and Watch Repairs®, the recognized industry leader with more than 150 locations worldwide, is now poised for rapid expansion in 2016. Fast-Fix understands that consumers are not inclined to send jewelry and watches through the mail to be fixed when they can meet face-to-face with a technician. That’s why, even though visits to brick-and-mortar stores are increasingly being replaced by the click of a mouse, Fast-Fix is built to withstand ever-transforming consumer trends, proving that some business is better done in person.
As the world’s largest and most trusted brand in custom jewelry design, and jewelry and watch repair, Fast-Fix has flourished since its founding in 1985. Unlike many other mall-based stores, the brand’s franchised business model has sparked strong growth and increased client traffic, even during traditionally slower mall sales months.
Now, with new chief executive officer Gerry Weber at the helm, Fast-Fix is perfectly poised for its strongest year of growth ever. Weber brings with him an extensive background in corporate and franchise operations management, and is focused on the brand’s expansion in the year ahead.
Since its founding Fast-Fix has found a welcome home in bustling malls across America, England and Ireland. Most jewelry and watch repair work is done in-store while the customer waits or shops. When dealing with items that are not only valuable from a monetary standpoint but an emotional one as well, speed, accuracy and trustworthiness are always at the apex of Fast-Fix’s daily operations. The brand’s combination of both inline and kiosk-based stores offers franchisees the flexibility to open in a space that works best for them.
Fast-Fix has grown to more than 150 stores in the U.S., England and Ireland. Each location is independently owned and operated, and all units employ expertly-trained jewelers, watchmakers and watch repair professionals. In addition to repairs, Fast-Fix also sells a wide selection of jewelry, charms and other sought after pieces. With 80 percent of the average store’s revenue earned through repair services, Fast-Fix helps boost business for surrounding retailers, too.
“The beauty of our business model is that customers can come into the mall, drop off their jewelry or watch, and head off to explore while we get things repaired, on average within one hour. Many times they return with a shopping bag in hand, so we know they’re bringing business to other storefronts in these malls too,” Weber said.
The brand is now looking to build on that strong foundation by adding an additional 10 to 20 in-line or kiosk locations in major mall markets across the country in 2016 including metropolitan cities like Charlotte, Kansas City, Chicago, Jacksonville, St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburgh, Raleigh and Seattle.
Fast-Fix is also looking for both multi-unit and single-unit franchisees to help carry the brand’s expansion plan forward. Driven entrepreneurs with a business or jewelry background are an ideal fit for the industry leading franchise system; an extensive knowledge in jewelry repair isn’t necessary.
Established in 1985, Fast-Fix Jewelry and Watch Repairs® is the world’s largest and most trusted consumer choice for jewelry, watch, eyeglass frame, and smartphone repair services as well as custom jewelry design and personalized engraving services. Fast-Fix has more than 150 locations in the United States, England and Ireland, including more than 100 franchised locations.

https://www.eaaflyway.net/international-youth-skype-meeting-on-black-faced-spoonbill-between-taiwan-and-incheon/ | A ‘Black-faced Spoonbill International Youth Skype Meeting’ was held on 15 June 2016 between Taiwan and Incheon. It was the second international youth Skype meeting organised by the Incheon Black-faced Spoonbill Network. It was held in cooperation with EAAFP, Friendly Seed, and Incheon City Government. Ten students from Tainan Municipal Tu Cheng High School and forty students from Yeonsu Girls’ High School participated in the meeting. Officers from Incheon City Government and several journalists also attended.
The meeting was held as a part of an awareness raising programme, Black-faced Spoonbill Nature School, which provides opportunities for students in Incheon to learn about this symbolic bird of Incheon, Black-faced Spoonbill (BFS) and the importance of wetlands in Incheon. Staff and volunteers from the Incheon BFS Network and EAAFP visited the schools and delivered a series of lectures as well as conducting a field trip and organizing group works. As the final stage of the programme, the Skype meeting was held to give an opportunity for Incheon students to meet students from the wintering grounds of BFS and better understand that the species is a globally shared treasure and needs international cooperation to ensure its conservation.
Students introduced topics such the plumage of BFS seen in each area, threats to the birds, and conservation activities. Students from Taiwan performed a small drama describing the plumage and the life of BFS in their region, which contributed a lot to the enjoyable and informal atmosphere. Then, the students discussed and shared their thoughts on how to deal with threats that were raised in the presentations, such as the lack of habitat, outbreak of disease, and habitat destruction. Solutions that students identified included the administrative measures to be taken, awareness raising campaign, and conservation activities.
Looking back myself as a Korean, the Youths in Korea don’t have many chances to learn about migratory waterbirds, wetlands, and biodiversity. Such meetings convey a vivid experience to a young generation to understand why international cooperation is important for migratory waterbirds. By meeting other students from different BFS habitats, they can clearly understand that the bird is shared species among the countries of the flyway. I hope that the students learned through the programme the value of the ecosystem and necessity to conserve it. Actually, this is a very good opportunity to understand the world. By not only sticking to one opinion, but by also thinking about pros and cons, putting themselves in others’ shoes and understanding different situations, they understand that there are diverse interests and the wrong and the right actions cannot be judged easily like examples they learn in the textbook.
Below are some comments from the students in Incheon.
The meeting was fun and it was a precious time where I became aware of the value of BFS that I did not know very well before.
It was a good opportunity to learn about the black-faced spoonbills and I want to thank all the people from the organization for their efforts.
I had not known anything about the BFS before preparing for this conference, which I regret now. Thanks to this event, I became interested in such conservation issues which I have not given much thought to before. I enjoyed this opportunity a lot.
By participating in the discussion and talking about the threats BFS face with my friends, I started to think more about BFS.
I enjoyed sharing and presenting my opinion today. It was a valuable and meaningful time.

There are tricks to getting motivated and staying motivated. First and foremost is showing up regularly and putting in the footwork, over and over, and creating conditions in your life that make commitment easier, rather than harder. Together, you and I will create a plan of action that minimizes the distractions, that holds space for reasonable interruptions, but that creates conditions and circumstances that will help you get things done.

Looking at your morning routine may be the most powerful way for us to begin our work together. What would you do with an extra hour in your day? Two hours? By reducing the number of decisions you need to make in the morning, you'll be able to free up both time and energy to focus on activities that will deepen or broaden your interests. Do you want to find a new job, practice a musical instrument, learn a new language? Many things are possible.
SHARE THE JOURNEY
Moving towards your goals shouldn't be a solo adventure. The importance of a community of like-minded people is almost impossible to overstate. In my experience, the three greatest benefits to sharing the self-change journey with others are 1) accountability, 2) knowledge-sharing, and 3) playfulness. As part of our work together, I'll invite you into a discussion of how to make good use of existing social circles, form new ones, and use both to make reaching your goals both easier and more enjoyable.

STRENGTHS.
"People want more than just to correct their weaknesses. They want lives imbued with meaning, and not just to fidget until they die."
-- Martin Seligman, Positive Psychology
We'll use some of the best tools I know to help you find where your strengths lie, and then to help you play to those strengths. Next, we'll create a plan together to help you apply those strengths on a regular basis. As with everything I do, the emphasis will be on starting with something to which you can commit to daily, weekly, and monthly, and adding and expanding your horizons from there. What may start as a 5-minute home yoga routine will eventually become 20 minutes. 20 minutes eventually becomes an hour. After six weeks of daily practice, you're doing things you may have never thought possible.
If you've done traditional psychotherapy, chances are you might not know what makes you strong, or might not know how to apply it. You'll be given the tools to describe your own strengths precisely and eloquently. We'll create plans using SMART goals (specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and time-limited) to reach, first modest goals, and then much bigger ones.

http://www.legacytherapystl.com/blog/4-intimate-things-new-moms-are-too-embarrassed-to-talk-about | Many women develop stress incontinence after childbirth, where they leak urine when they cough, sneeze, laugh, run and jump. This is often because the pelvic floor muscles just got stretched out and weakened from the delivery. To combat stress incontinence, try gentle Kegel exercises to help strengthen pelvic floor muscles. Try to avoid putting excessive stress on the pelvic floor when lifting your new babies. You can prevent straining the pelvic floor muscles by exhaling upon exertion. Both of these things can help you to get rid of bladder leakage faster, if you're experiencing it postpartum or hopefully prevent you from experiencing it at all.
But, if you are having issues with bladder leakage, lasting more than six to eight weeks postpartum, you do want to talk to your healthcare provider about it because there are things you can do, such as working with the pelvic physical therapist, to make sure that your pelvic floor muscles are doing what they need to be doing.
It's completely normal to lose temporary control of gas when the pudendal nerve has been damaged or compressed as a result of the baby passing through the vaginal canal. When this happens the pelvic floor muscles can become weak and are not strong enough to control passing gas. In a more extreme case, women may experience loss of fecal matter as well.
After childbirth, the vaginal canal is stretched out and it can take a while to resume its normal or almost normal size again. As a result new moms may end up having episodes of queefing. Queefing is a term that some people may be familiar with, but others may not. Another way to think of it is a vaginal fart. As we move air can get trapped in the canal and then as we move again, it can get released and we can get that vaginal fart.
Fortunately, lack of gas control, and/or queefing should resolve within a month or two. It can take longer in lactating women because they are still under the influence of hormones that causes connective tissue to loosen up. If not, let your doctor know. You can also try pelvic floor strengthening exercises, listed above. Another suggestion is to avoid placing too much stress on the pelvic floor muscles, with activities such as lifting heavy or returning to high impact exercises.
Pain can be another causative factor. Women often feel pain with intercourse after delivery as a result of scar tissue issues or pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Scars from healing tears or episiotomies can be very painful if they are not stretching and moving well. Even if you didn't have a vaginal delivery, the scar tissue from your C section scar could also be pulling and causing some pain and issues.
It also can be related to tension and pulling on the muscles and the muscles may actually tense up because of that. They may be in a spasms position and this could be from the delivery itself because birth can be traumatic. Sometimes the muscles need a little bit of help to learn how to move better and be able to stretch and give to make intercourse more comfortable.
We hear a lot of new moms saying their pelvis just feels heavy, and they’re feeling a lot of pressure. They may notice a bulge in the vaginal canal if they look down there. Oftentimes, this is worse as the day goes on or worse if they are more active or are doing more lifting.
The vaginal canal gets very stretched out with delivery and it can take a little bit to tone the canal back up. We can have some increased laxity, or give, in the walls and it can lead to something called pelvic organ prolapse where some of the pelvic organs like the bladder, or the rectum, or even the uterus are tipping into or coming down into the vaginal canal.
Sometimes this does take a little bit to heal. Sometimes there needs to be surgical options to heal. But oftentimes women can do a lot on their own to make a difference here, especially in the early postpartum time frame. Learning proper lifting form and strengthening your core and pelvic floor can make a big difference for many women.
If you are experiencing bladder leakage, lack of gas control or vaginal farting, diminished sex drive/pain with intercourse and/or pelvic pressure or heaviness, you should talk to your healthcare provider about it and look into partnering with a pelvic physical therapist. We can help you get back on the road to recovery, doing all the activities that you want to do and enjoy without experiencing these symptoms. We are here to help you out.

http://ecite.utas.edu.au/107710 | Courthouses, as expressions of state power and authority, frame and legitimise the rituals of justice enacted within them. Yet, there has been little research into the nineteenth-century architecture of New South Wales courthouses and how their external appearances and internal layouts supported the administration of justice. There is a pressing need for a historical study that takes an architectural perspective to explore the connections between courthouse architecture, political and social values and the evolution of the legal system in New South Wales. My presentation today is a preliminary account of the bodies of evidence that might be interrogated to identify the key issues relevant to the development of nineteenth-century New South Wales courthouses. I have chosen to focus on the nineteenth-century because that is my area of expertise as an architectural historian and it is also the most active period for courthouse construction, with many of these buildings still in use today, such as this heritage-listed building at Deniliquin. Ideas about public buildings, public space and the administration of justice are ever-changing. It is important to identify those values and architectural ideals that have proved their worth and therefore deserve recognition in modern-day courthouse design. | 2023-04-10T11:16:15.200637+00:00 | 2020-02-23T11:41:12Z | common-crawl |
8037d20a000c873d46a699fe0957daf59cb4984e | Q: SPList.GetItemById and Checked Out Items It seems I cannot use SPList.GetItemById(int) or SPList.GetItemByUniqueId(Guid) or Web.GetListItem(string) to get an item that is checked out. I have tried all three and all three result in a "File does not exist" exception.
An alternative method is to use SPQuery, which I have not tried, but have read that this too will not work.
Question: Are there any alternatives that will work?
What I'm trying to achieve
I have an ItemAdded event receiver. Files that are added to my document library remain checked out when they are first uploaded because I have fields that are mandatory for every file in the list that must be completed by the user before the file can be checked in.
I want to break permission inheritance on every file that is uploaded, hence the ItemAdded event receiver. Most users will not have permissions to set unique permissions on items, therefore have to use SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges, and we know when we use this we must obtain new references to all our objects.
This is what I have at the moment; all attempts to get the list item fail:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteId))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb(webId))
{
SPItemEventReceiverHandling rh = new SPItemEventReceiverHandling();
try
{
//Get item by ID
// SPList list = web.Lists[listTitle];
// SPListItem thisitem = list.GetItemById(itemId);
//Get item by unique ID
// SPListItem thisitem = list.GetItemByUniqueId(itemGuid);
//Get item by url
// string url = SPUrlUtility.CombineUrl(web.ServerRelativeUrl, item.Url);
// SPListItem thisitem = web.GetListItem(url);
//Get item from event properties
// SPListItem thisitem = properties.ListItem;
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
thisitem.BreakRoleInheritance(false);
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
/* Assign unique permissions here */
rh.DisableEventFiring();
thisitem.Update();
}
catch
{
}
finally
{
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
rh.EnableEventFiring();
}
}
}
});
A: In the end I got around this issue by assigning temporary values to the required fields, updating the item, checking it in, then running the above piece of code with the addition of a check out before calling thisitem.update(), then assigning the required fields back to null.
Not ideal but it works.

https://oasislifedesign.com/the-princess-and-the-best-season-of-your-life/ | I was a child during the Pleistocene era, television was a new thing. Howdy Doody time was a special time for a whole generation, as we were clumsily ushered into the age of media by a freckled puppet (he had one freckle for every state, which meant that there were 48 back then).
One of the main characters on the show was an “Indian maiden,” Princess Summerfallwinterspring. Since the host was Buffalo Bob, presumably she was a part of the Wild West theme of the show.
From my current perspective I can see this with a critical lens. The commercial culture was minimizing the ancient wisdom of many tribes. I’m guessing her name was even intended as a spoof of the Native American connection with the Earth. But in my six-year-old imagination something took root, buried deeply, perhaps. I’m still a big fan of the turning of the seasons.
A couple of days ago, along with hundreds of people in my town and millions of people on the planet, The Super Blood Moon eclipse captured my imagination. It was an astronomical event that got more press than anything in my memory since the Total Eclipse of the sun in the early 1980’s. But it’s not the hype that got my attention. It’s the simple fact that so many people would gather to watch something so slow, so silent. That fact is as rare as the event itself, given the attention-grabbing, high-stimulation lifestyle most of us can’t really escape.
Only poetry can capture this, I thought. Then yesterday I shared dinner with some dear friends who are embracing the last few days of one of their lives as brain cancer takes its ultimate toll. Her birthday is this weekend. We remembered the fall season as a series of the birthdays we’ve shared in the process of aging together. The meaning of autumn, of the eclipse, of the seasons hit me in the center of my heart.
May you bring the moon of autumn into your heart during this season of your life. Be here for it. And feel the richness of a life lived as it passes. Don’t let it pass without notice.

https://www.infowars.com/internet-sales-tax-call-congress-immediately/ | The Senate is expected to vote today on legislation that will destroy internet-based business.
The effort to undermine online business with sales over a million dollars has bipartisan support and the establishment media is downplaying its negative effect on an economy already seriously depressed.
The corporate media is also ignoring the additional burden the law will place on consumers hard hit by Federal Reserve engineered inflation and the prospect of rising taxation from government on the federal, state and local level.
In order for government to collect even more money from consumers, the so-called Marketplace Fairness Act will force online retailers to navigate more than 9,600 tax jurisdictions across the country. It will also expose business to audits by out-of-state tax collectors.
“This bill forces small businesses across the country to spend time and resources they should be using to create jobs, jumping through new bureaucratic hoops,” Montana Senator Max Baucus said on Sunday.
Montana does not have a sales tax. Alaska, Delaware, New Hampshire and Oregon also don’t force consumers to cough up more money at gunpoint and hand it over to out-of-control government.
In addition, the proposed law is a direct attack on state sovereignty and the Tenth Amendment. Absurdly, the law will force businesses in the states listed above to collect sales tax even though they live in a state without sales tax.

ef5b83e1271a1a076cc7bc7e00cd2dcc | More than two centuries after the original was signed in Pennsylvania, a new Bill of Rights has been drawn up.
Last December, in Palo Alto, 12 educators and experts in the field of online education drafted and signed a “Bill of Rights and Principles for Learning in the Digital Age,” in light of the recent rise of massive online open courses like Coursera and Udacity.
Duke University English and Interdisciplinary Studies professor Cathy Davidson explained the reasoning behind the document: “there’s about an 80 to 90 percent dropout rate of people who sign up for massive open online courses or MOOCs. We all think [the retention rate] can be a lot higher. Penn has a retention rate of 90 percent [offline]. We don’t want to lose the excitement of this moment and have something be overhyped that doesn’t really pay off.”
One issue that the document addresses is data collection in the Internet age. To produce MOOCs at the moment is expensive, and most are free for users.
Engineering junior and the Student Committee on Undergraduate Education chair Michelle Ho — who has taken a Coursera course herself — isn’t worried about data privacy issues in the MOOC context.
“Penn is a partner university of Coursera, and these universities are already thinking of student privacy,” Ho said. “They are not really in the business of making money off of students; they really are institutions of higher learning.”
Engineering junior and PennApps Labs Technical Lead Kyle Hardgrave isn’t concerned about potential data gathering as long as it “isn’t hidden behind really obtuse terms of service.”
“It’s never really bothered me, especially since typically you’re getting these services for free,” said Hardgrave, who is also a former Daily Pennsylvanian lead web developer. “That’s where a lot of [these MOOCs’] monetization possibilities would come from, marketing students to employers or selling students textbooks and educational supplies, for example.”
Andrew Ng, one of the co-founders of Coursera and a professor at Stanford University, believes that “things like the Bill of Rights could be useful in articulating what [it means to serve students].”
“The fact that the MOOC movement today is led by top universities such as [Penn] also already offers students substantial protection, since these schools are already used to serving students and protecting students’ rights,” Ng said in an email.
Although most responses to the document have been positive, some take issue with its ideas and implications.
On Twitter, where supporters and detractors alike have taken to the handle #learnersrights, many reactions are mixed. Supra Manohar, @TheMindWire, tweeted, “Very ambivalent about #learnersrights are we breaking one hierarchy to create a new gen one #edchat #edreform …”
Freelance writer and Hack Education blogger Audrey Watters, who signed the original document, feels that the phrase “Bill of Rights” is problematic.
“You can imagine that Internet technology [is] globalizing great democratic values. But you can also see it as neo-colonialism,” Watters said. “I was incredibly uncomfortable with this thing being called a ‘Bill of Rights’ … talk about trying to center all values for teaching and learning not even based on American values, but based on Silicon Valley values.”
As of press time, the title of the “hackable” Google document has been changed to “Rights and Principles for Online, Networked Learning.”
Betsy Corcoran, the CEO and co-founder of EdSurge, an information resource on education and technology, also signed the document and urges students to get involved.
“If people are uncomfortable editing the document that we started, they can start another document,” she said.
Marylhurst University Director of English and Digital Humanities Jesse Stommel echoed this sentiment. “The part of the document I’m most attached to is towards the end, where it says, ‘Finally, and most importantly, this document can’t be complete (can never be complete) without continuous and dynamic contributions by students.’”Comments powered by Disqus

This grey tarpaulin is now in the garden covering up my hedgehog house to give extra protection from the rain and wind! Nice and strong. Hedgehog is hibernating in the house underneath and well protected.

So pleased that I bought this one instead of replacing it with my first Tarpaulin. Tough hard wearing and doesn’t tear.
It arrived very quickly and well packaged. Just excellent and would recommend it to anyone.

Great nice & large covers my corner garden furniture nicely & it’s waterproof. I bought some bundles to tie it down. Decided to buy this as opposed to the outdoor furniture covers as so many people said the covers they’d bought all leaked or blow away.

4ddd9d044550f8258ccb158b1f4764b6 | Adventures in Stupidity!
Bomb squad detonates sparkler bombs
"According to Lt. Mark Misenhelter, the incident began about 9 a.m. when two city employees found the PVC pipes in 2500 block of Birmingham Road and placed them in a cargo holder in the back of their utility truck. He said the 1-inch diameter plastic pipes were about 6 inches long and filled with sparklers.
“They were concerned about safety and brought them to City Hall,” Misenhelter said."
So, as a resident of Liberty, let me just clarify this for you.
These city workers find these two suspicious devices that they think could be bombs. They find these devices in the extreme south west corner of Liberty. In one of the least populated areas.
Do they phone the police from there so that the police can come out and investigate said suspicious devices in situ?
Oh no! Not these rocket scientists! Not these upstanding examples of the best and the brightest that Clay County has to offer. Huh uh.
No, they load the potential bombs into their fucking truck and bring them into the heart of downtown. The seat of government. The historic town square.
"City Hall employees were evacuated and allowed to return to work about two and a half hours later. As a precaution, Clay County courthouse employees and visitors were also evacuated for a short time, Misenhelter said."
Jesus Fucking Christ!
You find a couple of bombs way the fuck out in the country. You pick them up, drive them into town and bring them into the fucking City Hall and say, "Uh, looky here what we found! They's bombs! Here! You want 'em?"
Such blatant dooficity!

http://onlookersmedia.in/preview/manju-warrier-to-play-20-year-old-girl/ | Manju Warrier to play 20 year old girl !
It has been from the beginning of the film era actors and actresses strive to cop as ideal as the role demands. We have seen people reducing weight, cutting hair etc to become apt for the role. The latest on this list is Mollywoods own actress Manju Warrier who is reportedly to reduce her weight for her latest movie Jo and the Boy. As the reports says, Manju is about to portray the role of a 20 year old girl in the movie. Stunned??
Of course we should be. Because a versatile actress like Manju Warrier to do a twenty year old girl at her thirties is not something ordinary. If it comes out in light, it would be something spectacular. For instance we have seen forty year old Aamir Khan as a 20 year old boy in Rajkumar Hirani’s all time blockbuster 3 Idiots.
Jo and the boy is a movie from the team of 2013’s surprise hit Philiphs and the Monkeypen with Master Sanoop in the lead. The movie was directed by the duo of Shanil Muhammed and Rojin Thomas. The movie grabbed both critical acclamation and commercial success. It also won three state awards of that year. They were awarded in the categories like Best Children’s Film, Best Children’s Film Director and Best Child Artist. This motion picture from the same team, but will be directed by Rojin Thomas alone. The movie has already started shooting months before and now is joining Manju Warrier to the league.
For Jo and the boy Manju is about to reduce 10 kilo, which is not an easy task. As an actress unparalleled Manju will be able to deliver her role in full efficiency we hope. Even for Manju, this second innings is so important and hence is very selective. Manju after a long break returned to Mollywood with a dashing hit How Old Are You and again delivered a hit with Mohanlal and Sathyan Anthikad in Ennum Eppozhum. Her third movie about to release with Rima Kallingal named Rani Padmini directed by Aashiq Abu. As of now, more news about this is yet not out to the desk.Wait for more.

4d3be1648d562d5c982875b98015204b | The International Association for Social Science Information Service & Technology (IASSIST) holds its conferences and events, both physical and virtual, to enable its members to share research on, and innovations in, the social sciences data lifecycle, to receive continuing education and to build professional networks.
To provide all participants – members and other attendees, speakers, exhibitors, staff and volunteers – the opportunity to benefit from the event, IASSIST is dedicated to a positive, safe and harassment-free conference experience in which diverse participants may learn, network and enjoy the company of colleagues in an environment of mutual human respect and regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, physical appearance, ethnicity, religion or other group identity or political beliefs. We recognize a shared responsibility to create and hold that environment for the benefit of all. Harassment, therefore, is specifically prohibited.
Harassment is any verbal or non-verbal behaviour that threatens another person or group and that reinforces social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age and/or religion. Examples of harassing behaviour include
- the gratuitous use of sexual images in public spaces,
- deliberate intimidation,
- stalking,
- following,
- harassing photography or recording,
- sustained disruption of talks or other events,
- inappropriate physical contact, and
- unwelcome sexual attention.
Speakers are asked to frame discussions as openly and inclusively as possible and to be aware of how language or images may be perceived by others, especially given the international aspect of this organization.
All participants are expected to observe these rules and behaviors in all conference venues, including online venues, and conference social events. Conference participants seek to learn, network and have fun. Please do so responsibly and with respect for the right of others to do likewise. Participants asked to stop a hostile or harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the IASSIST President. | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2022-06-25T10:16:33.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

departing thoughts the sheer number of contributors.
With Harriet’s comment stream turned off, the blog’s producers encouraged us to dialogue as much as possible with each other’s posts. The results have occurred both directly and indirectly. For instance, I’m grateful to have encountered the poems by B. D. Trail that Linh recently posted. Among other things, they inadvertently connect with a previous post I made in which I talked about plans I’ve had to write about the Vietnamese American visual artist Dinh Q. Lê alongside my family’s own relation to the Vietnam War. And of course there’s been lots of back and forth over “Conceptual Writing.”
Meanwhile, oil is washing into Louisiana’s extensive wetlands, Arizona passed a heinous anti-immigration law, and literary programs in Los Angeles are on the verge of losing their funding. I published a (Warning: self-promotional link ahead!) book a few years ago that had as major themes cross-culturalism and hybridity (thank you, Craig Santos Perez, for your post discussing the long tradition of hybrid literary styles used by minority/non-white writers). My book stressed that even cultural forms seen as “pure” or exclusive usually mix different sources and influences. For instance, part of an essay in the book discussed the roots of Depression-era, white Appalachian folk music in African and African American musical traditions.
That book was written between 1998 and 2002 when globalization and the web were peaking during their first big deregulated stage (way to go, Clinton administration), and there was an accompanying theoretical-critical discourse that piggybacked on these developments (Empire, anyone?). There was also direct resistance, and if I ever get to be a really old person, and children say to me, “Wow, you were alive when the personal computer and web were invented” (the way we now say to really old people, “Wow, you were alive when the car and television were invented”), I’ll also be sure to say, “Yeah, and I’m grateful for having been alive during the Battle in Seattle.”
My point is that where I used to believe in dialoguing across what’s shared, I think the challenge now (post-9/11 is an all-too-obvious historical marker) is dialoguing across differences. For myself, Harriet this month has been a microcosm for this. How do we honor difference without it turning into indifference? How do we (and even that “we” is problematic)—as writers, human beings, citizens—speak with each other in a way that finds commonalities in differences and differences in commonalities without an accompanying cultural and political atomization (or worse)?
I recently discovered a quote in Ariella Azoulay’s The Civil Contract of Photography that seems relevant here: “An emphasis on the dimension of being governed allows a rethinking of the political sphere as a space between the governed, whose political duty is first and foremost a duty toward one another, rather than toward the ruling power.” Sure, there are HUGE inequities in the poetry world. The posts to Harriet this month have made this clear (importantly). Yet at the same time, the ultimately horizontally networked nature of various poetry worlds (and many other cultural communities as well) is an example of the alternatively structured social system posited by Azoulay that contrasts with more vertically oriented structures of political power and domination.
At least that’s my hope.

https://www.chaptercreativity.com/2012/10/holidaying-in-sunshine-state-day-2.html | For the second day of our holiday in Queensland back in March this year (clearly I'm behind in blogging), we spent the majority of the day sightseeing in the car as it rained for most of the day. It was the only day during the week when the sun was not out. I was extremely excited about the rain that day, because I fell down a step I didn't know existed in the morning at the house we were staying in and sprained my ankle. I did a pretty good job of it, and had to hobble around with a swollen foot, so I was more than happy to just enjoy the sights from the car window and give my foot time a bit of time to recover before hitting the theme parks.
So we drove out of Queensland to explore Byron Bay, a beachside town located in the far-northeastern corner of the state of New South Wales, which was about an hour away from where we were staying. We decided to go check out the active lighthouse at Cape Byron. We spent a good hour or so admiring the views and taking lots of photos. I did get out of the car for a short time so I could get some decent photos and see the sights properly, but I had to hop everywhere - a girl in a maxi skirt hopping to the nearest railing must have looked hilarious!
I really wanted to have a photo taken closer to the lighthouse, but I wasn't prepared to hop that far! Taking photos proved quite challenging as it was pretty windy and it was raining on and off, but I did manage to capture some of the stunning surrounding views. When looking back on these photos, I am reminded how amazing, incredible and creative God is. I am in awe.
This photo is by far my favourite of the day. Breathtaking, no? It was well worth all the hopping it took.
Mama and me checking out the observation deck.
What grabbed my attention the most were the people hang gliding. It was fascinating to watch them take off, soar like an eagle and then land. I took some photos as they flew over where I stood. I was interested in experiencing the thrill almost immediately. I turned to Papa Bear a few times too many to let him know I was keen and that he must take me there.
Next holiday I am definitely going to go hang gliding. I've looked into it and decided that it is a scenic tour must. I think the price is pretty reasonable too, and I love that they have a secure spot for your camera in the hang glider so you can take photos.
So I pretty much spent the rest of the day dreaming of hang gliding while the rest of the family strolled through the shops in town before the drive back.

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/santander-down-customers-locked-out-21357318 | Customers trying to access their Santander, HSBC, Natwest and Halifax online accounts have been locked out as servers appear to be down.
First Direct and Marks & Spencer banks, which are both run by HSBC, The Co-operative bank, Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland customers are also reporting issues.
Website and mobile app services are affected this morning leaving users locked out of their accounts.
It is understood that the outage is linked to Sky broadband and Wi-Fi, the Mirror reports.
More than 900 customers have reported the outage at Santander on Downdetector, a website that tracks which services are down or having problems.
One user commented on Downdectector that he has been trying to access Santander services since 3am this morning.
They said: "Been trying since about 3am my car insurance is due today so hopefully it still gets taken out, and need petrol to get to hospital today."
A second person commented: "Unable to get into the app - 'server is not responding'"
While a third said: "Been trying since 6am can not connect to server."
And another added: "Tried to log on at 4am this morning, now 6.30am and the server is still down."
The outage is being reported across the country, however the Downdetector live map shows that people living primarily in Manchester, London, Cardiff and Brighton are tracking the outage.
Santander is yet to respond.
*Update: Sky issued a statement at 11am on Friday, August 20.
A Sky spokesperson said: "We have resolved the issue with Sky Broadband. Customers should be able to access websites and apps as normal. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused."

http://www.longjourneythin.me.uk/panic-on-the-hill/ | Panic On the Hill!
Out again last night on the bike. 10.6km in 47.5mins – an improvement.
I fancied a bit of a break to take a breather and some water. Tried to take my left foot out of the pedal (See Be The Bike – Sept 23rd) but it wouldn’t disengage! Already in the move to stop, leaning to that side, foot moving away from me, crank still moving round but the foot just not free to place on the ground. Couldn’t release the right foot either – not that that would have been any use, what with leaning the other way. A strange fear over took me as I realised I’d just have to stay attached for now and keep pedalling. The man was giving me encouragement, although I’m not sure he realised quite the panic I was in. What if I couldn’t get my foot out of the clip even at the top of the hill? What would I do then? Thought’s a falling in the back garden came back to me, but I realised the hard concrete of the path would not be as friendly as the soft grass at home. Uh oh! So now I had the normal challenge of the hill mixed with a fear of being stuck to the bike forever. Not a good combination.
I’d not thought someone nagging me to keep going would really help, thinking it would be repetitive annoyance, but it did help to have him there keeping me going. It was good as well to talk about the panic when I had, finally, managed to stop (without falling:). A change to the cleat position on the other foot is our current theory on the pedal attachment. And what’s the worse that can happen if I fall off going up a hill. The Man suggested I might break my collar bone. I thinking at that speed I much more likely to just rub my knee and elbow raw. So really it’s just the fear of the pain that holds me back.
For the rest of the cycle, whenever I found the going hard, I heard the Man chanting in my mind – “keep going, keep going, keep going”.
And do you know what – I did!

6ec913a70165f9ade6806b53aed5043a | Colorado Wildfires 2012: Flooding In Burn Areas Could Be A Concern For A Decade (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
The recent rain is much-needed across Colorado, but it also creates flood concerns for fire-ravaged areas where the vegetation can no longer soak up rain and burned soil is so badly damaged that it repels water rather than absorbing it. Now, experts are saying that the possibility for post-fire flooding could last a decade.
"Scientists are telling us 5 to 10 years out that we'll have concerns with the Fourmile burn area," Boulder Office of Emergency Management Sergeant Dan Barber told 7News. "The other districts like High Park and Waldo should be paying attention to that."
Teams of biologists, hydrologists and soil scientists are already on the ground in Colorado analyzing what is needed to handle the post-fire flooding in the state, The Associated Press reports. "This is a very critical stage in the process," U.S. Department of Agriculture Undersecretary Harris Sherman told The Associated Press about the post-fire recovery effort. "Obviously if we can deal with potential flooding and erosion concerns early on, we will all be much better off." Teams are building water bars, removing hazardous trees and spreading seed to help offset the damage done by the fires across the West.
The 2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire that burned more than 6,000 acres and destroyed 169 homes in Boulder County is still at flood and mudslide risk when storms roll through the area and will continue to be for sometime.
The High Park Fire area has already seen mudslides that have closed the canyon several times in July since the first wave of rain storms hit the state. On Monday, the area had four more mud and rock slides that stopped travel in the Poudre Canyon for hours during the afternoon, according to The Coloradoan. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for the area on Monday after a stream jumped its banks left black soot, rocks and debris on Stove Prairie Road and Highway 14, CBS4 reported.."
Luckily for the Waldo Canyon Fire area, no flooding has been reported despite quick bursts of rainfall in the area. On Monday afternoon, 1 1/2 inches of rain fell in less than an hour about 5 miles north of the 29-square-mile burn zone.
The National Weather Service has not issued a flood watch or warning for any of Colorado's recently burned areas on Tuesday, but warns that if heavy rains do occur burn scars will be particularly vulnerable to flooding.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar surveyed the fire damage in Colorado Springs last week and urged residents to remain vigilant both more floods in areas where the ground has been destabilized, saying that those living downstream are particularly vulnerable. "Communities beyond those burned areas are who need flood insurance," Salazar said in Colorado Springs. "If flooding occurs, it wil be going down to Fountain Creek and all the way to the Arkansas River. People in Colorado Springs, El Paso County and Fountain have to maintain a degree of caution," the Colorado Independent's Troy Hooper reported. | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2014-10-20T10:16:34.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
605324fb94ddd22ce8a3d3094c7f78f5c395d6de | Q: Linux SMB share - how to give access to Windows local system account? I have a SMB share on a Linux host. To grant remote access to the share for a Windows user, one must create a new SMB user which has the same username, and same password as the Windows account.
i.e. to give access to Windows user winhost\calvin I would run smbpasswd -a calvin, and use the same password that winhost\calvin uses. Then I would update smb.conf to something like
[myshare]
path = /home/lincoln/myshare
valid users = lincoln, calvin
read only = no
Once this is in place, calvin can now see the share from Windows via UNC path \\<ip addr>\myshare
This works fine for named user accounts, but I can't figure out how to grant access to a Windows "local system" account, i.e. a machine account.
I have tried creating SMB users with names like WINHOST and WINHOST$ with a blank password (local system accounts don't have passwords), but this doesn't seem to work.
When I try to access the share using the system account (via dir \\<ip addr>\myshare) I get the error "The specified server cannot perform the requested operation".
What are the details of the SMB account and config that can make this happen?
I do not want to make the share public - this seems to be the only workaround I can find so far.
A: When not using a domain, the LocalSystem account can access network resources only with anonymous credential. In other words, it will not present named credential to the remote samba server.

Wachovia Corp. has reached a preliminary settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and state regulators over its sale of auction-rate securities to investors.
Wachovia Securities, the bank's retail brokerage unit, has agreed to buy back about $9 billion of auction-rate securities it sold to its clients, $5.7 billion of which are held by individual investors, charities and small business. In addition, Wachovia would pay a $50 million fine to be split among several states.

"Today's settlement is a major step towards making these investors whole," Carnahan said. ."
The settlement allows all individual investors, charities and small business that purchased auction-rate securities with the Wachovia unit to redeem their securities by Nov. 28. Other businesses with larger holdings can redeem their securities by June 30..
Wachovia still faces the prospect of a financial penalty to the SEC after it has completed its obligations under the settlement agreement...C. expects to record a further $275 million pre-tax increase to legal reserves in the third quarter.

Sweeten this wedding hair jobs with ribbon accessories. If your hair is medium length, then no need to worry. Curly accents can be applied in all the strands of hair. Use a curlier especially in the middle to the end of the hair, so the hair will be fuller and looks many. Put a hairpin on the side, so that wedding hair jobs look almost side swept. The upper part, with a comb tooth comb and then spray with the hairspray. If you want to wear a tiara, apply only the classic style to make it dramatic, especially if your hair is straight manifold.

https://www.itproportal.com/2012/12/04/cheapest-blu-ray-player-uk-falls-below-30/ | Novatech has put the LiteOn IHOS104-06 Blu-ray player on sale for just under £28, a price that excludes P&P. The drive is an OEM model meaning that it doesn’t come with any fancy packaging, only a disk.
Note that you can also get a slim internal Blu-ray player from Samsung, the TS-LB23P, from £34.99 from the same retailer. This model can be used in a laptop with an available bay.
The price difference between DVD and Blu-ray players and writers has fallen to an all-time low, fuelled by the maturity of the Blu-ray technology. It is now common to find standalone Blu-ray players from popular brands for less than £50.
It is also likely that the widespread availability of streaming services like Netflix or Lovefilm means that demand for components for optical drives (Blu-ray, DVD) has softened which in terms is driving prices down.

http://wiki-offline.jakearchibald.com/wiki/Iterative_method | In computational mathematics, an iterative method is a mathematical procedure that uses an initial guess to generate a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a class of problems, in which the n-th approximation is derived from the previous ones. A specific implementation of an iterative method, including the termination criteria, is an algorithm of the iterative method. An iterative method is called convergent if the corresponding sequence converges for given initial approximations. A mathematically rigorous convergence analysis of an iterative method is usually performed; however, heuristic-based iterative methods are also common.
If an equation can be put into the form f(x) = x, and a solution x is an attractive fixed point of the function f, then one may begin with a point x1 in the basin of attraction of x, and let xn+1 = f(xn) for n ≥ 1, and the sequence {xn}n ≥ 1 will converge to the solution x. Here xn is the nth approximation or iteration of x and xn+1 is the next or n + 1 iteration of x. Alternately, superscripts in parentheses are often used in numerical methods, so as not to interfere with subscripts with other meanings. (For example, x(n+1) = f(x(n)).) If the function f is continuously differentiable, a sufficient condition for convergence is that the spectral radius of the derivative is strictly bounded by one in a neighborhood of the fixed point. If this condition holds at the fixed point, then a sufficiently small neighborhood (basin of attraction) must exist.
In the case of a system of linear equations, the two main classes of iterative methods are the stationary iterative methods, and the more general Krylov subspace methods.
Stationary iterative methods solve a linear system with an operator approximating the original one; and based on a measurement of the error in the result (the residual), form a "correction equation" for which this process is repeated. While these methods are simple to derive, implement, and analyze, convergence is only guaranteed for a limited class of matrices.
where D {\displaystyle D} is only the diagonal part of A {\displaystyle A} , and L {\displaystyle L} is the strict lower triangular part of A {\displaystyle A} . Respectively, U {\displaystyle U} is the upper triangular part of A {\displaystyle A} .
Linear stationary iterative methods are also called relaxation methods.
Krylov subspace methods work by forming a basis of the sequence of successive matrix powers times the initial residual (the Krylov sequence). The approximations to the solution are then formed by minimizing the residual over the subspace formed. The prototypical method in this class is the conjugate gradient method (CG) which assumes that the system matrix A {\displaystyle A} is symmetric positive-definite. For symmetric (and possibly indefinite) A {\displaystyle A} one works with the minimal residual method (MINRES). In the case of not even symmetric matrices methods, such as the generalized minimal residual method (GMRES) and the biconjugate gradient method (BiCG), have been derived.
The approximating operator that appears in stationary iterative methods can also be incorporated in Krylov subspace methods such as GMRES (alternatively, preconditioned Krylov methods can be considered as accelerations of stationary iterative methods), where they become transformations of the original operator to a presumably better conditioned one. The construction of preconditioners is a large research area.
Probably the first iterative method for solving a linear system appeared in a letter of Gauss to a student of his. He proposed solving a 4-by-4 system of equations by repeatedly solving the component in which the residual was the largest[citation needed].
The theory of stationary iterative methods was solidly established with the work of D.M. Young starting in the 1950s. The Conjugate Gradient method was also invented in the 1950s, with independent developments by Cornelius Lanczos, Magnus Hestenes and Eduard Stiefel, but its nature and applicability were misunderstood at the time. Only in the 1970s was it realized that conjugacy based methods work very well for partial differential equations, especially the elliptic type.

04a91f112d44f46b27c59b5fae5688596b94b6a9 | Q: How to use powershell to organise files into folders SharePoint Online I have a document library in SharePoint Online that has a large amount of documents which have a column that sorts them. What i want to be able to do if it is possible is use powershell is move all of the files that for example have in that sorting column the value "red" into a folder named "red", then it moves onto the next file and if the sorting column is blue, move it into the folder blue.
If anyone has any ideas about how to do this it would be much appreciated
A: You can loop all files in the library, use IF condition to identify the column's value. If the column value of an item contains "Red", move the file into the related folder, and so on.
There are some similar topics for your reference:

https://press.ierek.com/index.php/ARChive/article/view/361 | The issue of examining the earthquake safety for existing constructions, which form the basis of urban mitigation strategies, requires new methods and tools according to each city’s and society's specific conditions. The common goal in all methods is to yield correct results in a timely manner. However, due to the multiplicity and complexity of the parameters used in the examination, auxiliary tools are needed. This is not only because of difficulties in collecting data, but also in order to obtain reliable results. Thus, collected data must be analyzed in computerized environment. In this study, an evaluation tool (software) called "Disaster Risk Analysis and Evaluation System (DRAES)" is developed. This software has been implemented and tested in Antalya; one of the metropolitan cities of Turkey within an area of 8800 hectares at 26610 buildings. The obtained results were evaluated comparatively which determined, consequently, the priority areas for planning as an important input for the city of Antalya.

https://www.thelaw.com/threads/job-loss-and-marriage-loss-from-failed-drug-test-from-cbd-oil.76200/ | Discussion in 'Accidents, Injuries, Negligence' started by Tennessee Anonymously, Mar 2, 2020.
I recently lost a lucrative job offer and subsequently my wife filled for divorce all stemming from a positive THC result on a drug screen. I don't use drugs or alcohol. The THC came from CBD OIL. The problem is that I had no idea that the CBD OIL had THC in it. The label says nothing about THC. The store and it's employee said nothing about it containing THC. NO signs posted about the product containing THC and I told the employee that I am a recovering alcoholic and can't and don't want to take anything that has drugs in it especially illegal drugs before the employee suggested what product I should be using and then purchased. The resulting failed drug screen is part of the program Tennessee Drug Free Workplace. I am now in the system as having a failed drug screen and can't apply for or be hired for any job with a company that is part of this program. Which is a large amount of the quality employers in the Knoxville Tennessee area. Not to mention that because of my past history with alcohol and the problems it caused my marriage I was basically on a last chance situation with my wife of 18 years. So a failed drug test means she doesn't believe me and is done plus not being able to get a good job. So do I have any grounds for a lawsuit against this franchise store I purchased this CBD OIL product? Thanks in advance for any help.
First, the TN Drug-Free Workplace Program does not share information between employers. In fact, while positive result information is reported to the state, the names of those that test positive aren't.
Your biggest problem with suing them is if you can't get your wife to believe you didn't use pot what makes you think a jury will believe you didn't.
hrforme, justblue and Zigner like this.
You may want to consider moving to a less restrictive state.
A quick google search of this oil revealed that it may have trace amounts of THC. IMO a reasonable person would have investigated a cannabis product before using it.
army judge and hrforme like this.
I agree there is plenty of "noise" out on the internet about this topic and as the OP is a recovering alcoholic, it would have been OP's due diligence to review it and not base it on the word of an employee or businessowner selling it. Kind of a "buyer beware".
23.7 million results to the google search "cbd oil drug test"
#1 result states "Hemp based CBD oils, when used in low doses, are unlikely to result in a positive test because they often don't contain high enough levels of THC for detection. ... As a result of varying dose recommendations and uncertain THC levels, taking CBD oil comes with a risk of a non-negative test result."

https://www.flightglobal.com/turkish-air-force/12578.subject?page=2 | The Turkish air force has taken delivery of its second of an eventual 10 A400M tactical transports from Airbus Defence & Space, with the aircraft having been transferred to Kayseri air base earlier this month.
The Turkish air force has received its penultimate 737-based airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system aircraft from Boeing, following its conversion by in-country partner Turkish Aerospace Industries.
Martin-Baker is to supply the crew escape system for the Turkish air force’s Hurkus B turboprop trainers, under a deal signed on the opening day of the Farnborough air show.
After a 15-month delay, Turkey has approved a decision to order an initial two Lockheed Martin F-35s, launching the acquisition phase of its next-generation fighter project.
Turkey has at last accepted its first A400M tactical transport from Airbus Defence & Space, making it the second operator to receive the type after a delay of several months.
The Turkish force is nearing the end of a seven-year wait to receive its first Boeing 737-based airborne early warning and control system aircraft.
The Turkish military has approved plans to buy a first batch of 15 Hurkus trainers from Turkish Aerospace Industries, with the decision announced following a meeting of the nation's SSM procurement body on 26 September. | 2023-04-08T17:12:41.800610+00:00 | 2020-04-07T03:45:15Z | common-crawl |
99919910d2e985c7cc8a04137e0a1cdb | The Perseid meteor shower will arrive this weekend, peaking between Aug. 11 and Aug. 13, and astronomers say this one could be special.
For one thing, there won’t be any competition from the moon. The moon sets shortly after 10 p.m. local daylight time on the 11th in northern latitudes.
Secondly, NASA announced this summer that the Perseids are the “fireball champion,” consistently producing more fireballs — extra-bright meteors — than any other shower.
NASA predicts the best show will be Monday and Tuesday night between 10:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. local time. The rate of meteors will increase as the night goes on, peaking before sunrise.
The meteors will appear to radiate from a spot between the constellations Cassiopeia and Perseus in the northeastern skies. This spot gets higher in the sky as dawn approaches.
Pretty cool. There’s nothing like astronomy for a healthy dose of inspiration and humility.
From where I stand, there is nothing like astronomy for a healthy dose of perspiration and humidity.
Out-of-the-ordinary places to stargaze for the Perseid’s would be the Great Sand Dunes or the Pawnee Buttes…either would make a great setting for the meteor shower.
Some great closer to home places to watch: Berthoud Pass – the parking lot where the old chair lift is, can’t be beat; Chatfield SP is about the closest without much interference from city lights; The old road up to Nevadaville off the Central City Parkway is very cool, did that a couple of years ago, dark and spooky, it loops around on a high knob that is excellent for star gazing; or just out I-70 east around Bennett gets good and dark too.
If you have a GoPro video cam, this is the time to use it. Set it for time lapse, one pic every 5 seconds, aim it at the sky and see what you end up with. If you’re lucky you’ll catch a “sky grazer”, a meteor that looks like the end of the world but is actually just good entertainment.
This majestical roof fretted with golden fire over our heads inflames our imagination as well as our hearts with the magic of a Universe reminding us in a most real way that Reality is Much, Much, Much bigger than the partisan petty name calling that so often fills these pages.
Thanks for reminding us there is a more important world out there for us to ground ourselves into, and see Creation through the humility of tiny eyes.
It was good tonight, best I’ve seen in a while. Didn’t even have to leave the city, saw them fine from my deck. Saw a few real crowd-pleasers. Should be good Monday night too. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-24T09:02:05Z | c4 |

05fbba67d8ce23a2673c71b5331280f3 | During the Essence Festival here in New Orleans, I was invited to the Motions Style Bar event at the W hotel. While there, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet and interview Motions Hair Glambassor Ursula Stephen and whose also known as the hairstylist behind Rihanna’s shortcuts and bold blunt bobs.
Tell us how you began your career in hair styling?
My high school in Brooklyn was a beauty school so I earned my license and diploma. I would always do my friend’s hair on the weekends in my mother’s basement. By the time I graduated high school; I had a big cliental and my own chair.
Besides Rihanna whose hair looks amazing! Who are some of the others celebrities you’ve has the chance to work with?
My first celebrity client was a Khadijah Bass she sang the hook on Jay-Z’s “Ain’t no….” She was friends with a stylist whose hair I did and the stylist recommended me to do her hair. From that experience, I wanted to do it more often but I always worked in a salon and at that time it was a small percentage of celebrities and myself majority of the time I was in the salon.
How did you get into styling celebrities?
Basically, word of mouth, I had a couple of clients while I was working in the salon that worked at record labels or was in the business.
When clients request a new look from you what factors do you take into consideration?
I always like to sit down with the client first and find out what they want because they have good ideas they just don’t know how to execute it. So much goes into a new look I always like to tailor it to fit that person’s lifestyle or personality.
Your hairstyle creations are always beautiful and bold. Where do you get inspiration from?
*Smile & laugh* Thank you, I take inspirations from so many areas in my life, fashion, travel and old even movies. I usually go off of that person personality and choose a look that would fit them & their lifestyle.
Us as women, we are always looking for a new look or a slight change to our hair. What advice would you give to us?
The advice I would give is to love your hair & consider your lifestyle. You don’t want to get a haircut that’s going to make you get up two and a half hours early to curl. Make your hairstyle fit your personality and your lifestyle.
What advice do you have for up and coming hair stylist?
Stay hungry always be ready and willing to work. Never get lazy. Work hard and be dedicated to what you’re trying to do. Always stay on top of your craft. Don’t have a closed mind. It takes a while to get to where I am. Be open-minded to other opportunities in the beauty industry. Be assertive and confident. When you get the chance to work with that celebrity client know that you are there because you’re great at what you do.
Over the years, I’ve been inspired to try a few hairstyles that Ursula Stephen did on Rihanna.
♥ I really enjoyed interviewing Ursula Stephen. She was so down to earth and I couldn’t believe how close we were sitting. Our knees were literally touching, lol! Talking to her was like talking to one of my dolls. She gave my friend Domonique who just finished hair school advice on breaking into the business. She’s truly humble, have a great spirit and such an inspiration.
Great interview Paris!!! I loved it!!! CONGRADS honey!!! | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-22T14:43:29Z | c4 |

http://www.onlinechristiansongs.com/2017/09/god-intended-it-for-good-fridays-dose.html | You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.- Genesis 50:20 .
The above words belong to Joseph, the son of Jacob. When he was 17 years old, his own brothers sold him to slave traders because he was his father's favorite and they were jealous of him. He was taken to Egypt and eventually imprisoned because of a false accusation. In prison, he helped Pharoah's cupbearer, who neglected to return the favor, and Joseph spent two more years in jail.
When Joseph was 30 years old, he interpreted a dream for Pharoah, who made him ruler over all of Egypt. For 13 long years, Joseph endured injustice and rejection. Through it all, he continued to trust God, Who rewarded him with extraordinary blessings. Joseph speaks the above words to his brothers when they meet again after many years. He tells them that though they meant to do him harm, God turned it into good for him and many others. As ruler over Egypt, he was able to prepare the Egyptians for seven years of famine. Even the Israelites, including Joseph's own family, were amply supplied.
Joseph's life is the perfect example of how God can turn the worst kind of adversity into good for His children. Though it was Joseph's brothers who sold him into slavery, it was Satan behind the evil deed. Even after 13 years of mistreatment and misfortune, God's purpose was fulfilled in Joseph's life, and the Lord used him mightily to save others and to glorify Himself. Maybe you've experienced injustice or rejection in your life. Perhaps you've even struggled with feelings of worthlessness. Maybe you feel like God has forgotten you. Joseph must have felt that way, too. But listen to what Jesus says in Luke 18:27, "The things that are impossible with men are possible with God." You can't turn the adversities in your life into something good. Neither can anyone else. But God can. It's one of the things that He does best. If you will place yourself in God's hands and put your trust in Him, He has a special promise for you today. It's in Romans 8:28 and it says, "And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." There isn't anything that's happened to you that God can't turn into your good. Let Him prove it to you. He's only a prayer away.
You know all the things I've suffered in my life--the injustice, rejection, and sorrow. Right now, I give them all to You, along with my very life, and I ask that You heal me of all past hurts. Deliver me from a feeling of worthlessness, and give me a new sense of purpose. Take every negative experience in my past and turn it into my good. Thank You for using me to touch others' lives for Your glory! Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen."

I want to update the LastModifiedDate field of the custom object each time I do this.
Would anyone have any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this?

function uploadFile(customObj)

console.log("new attachment created with id " + result[0].id);
}
else
{
console.log("failed to create attachment " + result[0]);
}
},
onFailure : function(error, source)
{
console.log("An error has occurred " + error);
}
});
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(f);
}
}
A: Just "touch" the record with an update that doesn't change anything. Similar to how user would hit Edit and then Save without changing anything on the page.
This will cause all workflows, validation rules etc to run of course!
Something like this should be enough:
var parent = new sforce.SObject("Account");
parent.id = customObj.Id;
result = sforce.connection.update([parent]);
(even better if the object you're passing to the function already is created with this library and not some totally separate data structure you've made that has pretty much only the id attribute)
Having said that... maybe you should have this bit of logic in a trigger and not Javascript? Should it work only for these uploads or anytime an attachment is added to your custom object?

fcfdea43d03fe3cfa84ee01a8175d7aa | The Addressable Advertising Coalition (AAC) joined forces with the Association for Interactive Media (AIM)), to create a marketing-oriented group designed to foster growth in the interactive media environment.
The AAC will operate as a co-organization within AIM, which is headed by Ben Isaacson, acting executive director. Art Cohen will serve as chairman of the AAC.
Isaacson said the entire media industry is poised for explosive growth in the coming years because of emerging technologies and delivery infrastructures, such as digital cable and broadband.
“With the added insight that comes from the AAC and its members, AIM becomes not only the largest Internet and interactive media industry trade organization, it becomes the one with the largest and highest quality base of research into audience preferences, tastes and habits,” he said.
AIM members include America Online, Bloomberg, IBM, MTV Networks, The Weather Channel, Yahoo, Media Metrix and Internet Shopping Network among others.
The AAC has become a proponent for quality and standards in research and use of professional measurement techniques for interactive media. It will work closely with advertising agencies and other marketers currently within AIM.
“The Internet and other interactive technology-based media are finally at a place where wide-scale deployment is economically feasible,” said Cohen, currently senior vice president of advertising and e-commerce for ACTV Inc.. “AAC can now offer its membership access to a wider range of direct advertising technology and market research — the core strengths of AIM — while providing AIM with a greater perspective on the power of addressable advertising and new opportunities made possible by TV-Internet convergence.” | 2023-05-27T19:35:08.143Z | 2016-09-25T00:45:14.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
https://community.twocanoes.com/t/boot-runner-breaks-bootcamps-touch-bar/3980 | After installing boot runner and selecting bootcamp, the touch bar does not display nor accept touches.
When I uninstall Boot runner and activate bootcamp via the option key, the touch bar works as expected.
Do you mean in Windows or in macOS?
windows touchbar does not display any options and will not accept touchs. on mac side all works as expected.
I have a 2019 MBP (16") and booted to Windows 10 on it with Boot Runner, and the toolbar was blank. I pressed the Fn key and it showed all the options. Does that work for you?
Yes. Using the Fn key to make the touchbar show its options is an OK work around. I assume at some future release using the Fn key would not be needed.
I just booted back to windows (both with Boot Runner and with the option key) and now it is showing without pressing the Fn key. Perhaps an update occurred with the bootcamp drivers? I don’t think it is is related to Boot Runner.
I have noticed the same thing. Sometimes BR starts windows as expected but sometimes it does not.
I do not think BootCamp drivers have been updated.
It is puzzling but with the work round i remain operational. Keep me posted if any additonal info comes your way. | 2023-04-13T10:31:29.608551+00:00 | 2022-06-30T06:54:26Z | common-crawl |

https://www.uber.com/blog/biggest-new-years-eve-celebrations-around-world/ | It’s almost time to ring in the new year and start fresh in 2018. And while the clock strikes midnight at different times (hello, 39 local time zones) this holiday is something the entire world has in common. We put together a list of the cities around the globe that are known for their epic celebrations. Who knows, perhaps you’ll find some inspiration for your own NYE party.
This part of the world is one of the first regions to ring in the new year. And in Sydney, they don’t hold back. Known for their incredible fireworks display, Sydney is home to the 2nd largest celebration in the world, with over 1 billion viewers tuning in to see the show. Are you in Australia for the new year? Head to their official website to plan your evening. And if you’re looking for a way to get around while you’re out on the town, here’s everything you need to know about catching a ride in Sydney.
Fireworks over the Thames followed by an endless array of parties to choose from? Sounds like a great way to start the year. If you happen to be in London for the holiday, check out Time Out’s great New Year’s Eve guide. And while you’re busy planning your night, make sure you map out how you’re getting around the city. We’ve got you covered—here’s more information on how to catch a ride in London.
It’s no surprise that Rio is home to the largest New Year’s Eve celebration in the world. While it’s the height of winter in the northern hemisphere, it’s the summer holiday for the folks down south. Which means when Brazilians ring in 2018, they’ll be on the beach in tank tops and shorts watching the huge fireworks display. Head to Copacabana beach for live music and dancing and don’t forget to wear white—a custom in Rio on NYE to bring you luck for the new year. Looking for a ride to the beach? Here’s everything you need to know about catching an Uber in Rio.
Watching the ball drop in Times Square is one of the most iconic ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve in the United States. If you’re brave enough to deal with the massive crowds, head to Time Square and celebrate 2018 with thousands of excited strangers. If you’re not into dealing with the masses, New York is full of other great celebrations and activities for a memorable evening. If your night includes Uber, here’s how to catch a ride in NYC.
Whether you’re ringing in the new year from the comfort of your couch, an intimate gathering, or a huge party, we hope you have an excellent (and safe) New Year’s Eve.

2a4ddee626f57a4376fd92cbe14ff02e | The Deukmejian Gambit
The key to Gov. Schwarzenegger’s new budget plan might be
called the Deukmejian Gambit. And throw in some Jerry Brown, too.
A short history….In 1983, Governor George Deukmejian faced a
large deficit, although smaller in proportional terms than the one faced today
by Gov. Schwarzenegger. Deukmejian put forward a plan that included no tax
increases. There were the usual howls and protests. Other ideas were floated,
including—get this one—creating a state lottery to generate funds. A few
years later a state lottery was created and now this governor wants to borrow
against it to raise immediate cash.
Finally, a deal was struck between Deukmejian and the
legislature. A 1-cent sales tax increase would trigger if there was a shortfall
of tax receipts at a certain time.
The gamble was that the economy would improve. Gov.
Schwarzenegger is using the 1-cent sales tax trigger in a slightly different
way. It is a back-up plan to insure revenue will be there if voters reject the
idea of borrowing against the lottery. The sales tax would be in place for up
to three years unless the deficit is erased in shorter time. This governor is
also hoping for a swelling economy to bail out the deficit.
Let’s state clearly that tax increases during economic
downturns will dig us deeper into the hole. Let’s also state that mandates and
automatic spending formulas should be trashed.
Looking at the political realities of what might happen in
this year’s budget debate after all the yelling and saber-rattling, the refusal
to make cuts or to support anything that looks like a tax increase,
Schwarzenegger may have found some ground for compromise.
Why do I think so? He
is proposing no general tax increase in an election year, something even
Democrats will come to appreciate…..however, a promise of a tax increase to
come if things don’t improve….and, the hope that things will improve.
Could the
revenue situation improve in a few months? Maybe. Tax revenue is a bit higher
this April and prognosticators are predicting an upturn in early 2009. Perhaps
it will come earlier. Historically, the sales tax trigger back-up plan worked
for Deukmejian when tax receipts improved as he waited out the crisis and the
trigger was never pulled. Then there is the same human nature that is at work
in the legislature all the time….passing the problem on to the next generation
of lawmakers.
One last thought. How does Jerry Brown figure into this?
Remember, Deukmejian took over from Brown and a budget deficit was left on the
new governor’s doorstep as a sort-of welcoming gift. Deukmejian had to face the
deficit his first few months in office. If the Deukmejian Gambit doesn’t work
for Schwarzenegger as well as it did for Deukmejian himself, and other fixes
are not put in place, the next governor could inherit a real deficit mess —
and that next governor may well be Jerry Brown. | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2018-07-16T04:43:05.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |
https://www.qualityautoil.com/bios.php?nonmobile=0&force_mobile=1 | Far too many pre-owned car dealers have a lousy reputation. Ever wished to car shop at a small-business instead of a massive car lot? How do you know that the sales team is not manipulating you with small lies instead of telling the truth?
When that sales team consists of just one person, who has been called �Honest Jon�, then you know your next used vehicle purchase could be a Quality Auto experience.
Almost 25 years ago Jonathan started an auto repair business, known then as Jon�s Quick Service. In 1994, the business moved about one-quarter of a mile west on Route 133 in Arthur to its current location. With his entrepreneurial spirit and desire offer VALUE in used autos, Jonathan opened a second business at the new location --- Quality Auto.
Jonathan has earned ASE certification for auto repair, but he also saw the need in Arthur for affordable used cars, trucks, and vans. With 25 years of experience in auto repair, and 13 years of used car sales experience in Arthur, IL, come see why some know him as �Honest Jon�. | 2023-04-08T16:47:36.014214+00:00 | 2020-04-07T00:56:11Z | common-crawl |

How quasi-free holes and electrons are generated in organic photovoltaic interfaces.
We introduced a minimal model of the donor-acceptor interface encountered in organic solar cells to explain the efficient generation of free charges in these systems and we investigated the nature of charge transfer states formed by a delocalized exciton in the donor component. Contrarily to the generally accepted view excitons do not generate strongly bound hole-electron pairs, but relatively delocalized charge transfer states with energy very close to the energy of free holes and electrons. These states are kinetically more accessible from the exciton state and very close in structure to the free hole and electron states. The most relevant molecular parameter that affects the rate of exciton dissociation is the electronic coupling between donor orbitals and acceptor orbitals, i.e. the band widths of the donor and acceptor materials. Moreover, and to some surprise, we find that the process of charge separation is mostly a purely electronic process and a very similar physics can be described neglecting the role of nuclear degrees of freedom altogether.

https://www.gigbuddiessydney.org/post/2018/02/12/happy-birthday-to-us | Three years ago tomorrow (13/2) the journey started.
Back in 2015 we set out to change things. We wanted to enable opportunities for people with disability to partake in their passions, away from the necessity to go out with either mum, dad or a paid support worker.
We’ve come a long way since our launch party at the Roundhouse, and to celebrate turning the big three we’re off to Newtown this Friday (16/2) for a night of big hair and throwback tunes courtesy of Never Ending 80’s.
Unfortunately we’ve sold our entire allocation of tickets (40) and the venue, Leadbelly, have since reached capacity.
Since selling our allocation we’ve had to say no to around a dozen gig buddies. We never like disappointing people, but when we purchase tickets to a social event we take a gamble that we’ll ultimately make our money back: if we buy too many which we’re then unable to sell we run at a financial loss; if we buy too few we risk disheartening our gig buddies.
It’s encouraging, however, to hear from so many gig buddies who are ready to party into the next day (did we mention Friday’s shindig goes into the wee hours of Saturday?), and who are happy to pay $30 for a ticket. This will be taken into consideration when arranging future social events.
We’re delighted that our social events resonate with all gig buddies. As an example, of the 170 spaces we have available for the five Sharks’ games we’re to attend during this year’s NRL season, over half have already been snapped up.
To avoid any disappointment we recommend buddies get in early when it comes to attending any of our social gatherings.

https://www.themanufacturer.com/articles/solar-impulse-completes-round-the-world-journey/?change_country=US | The Solar Impulse 2 aircraft completed its round-the-world trip this week. Image courtesy of Wikipedia/Milko Vuille.
Solar powered aircraft ‘Solar Impulse 2’ has completed a marathon circumnavigation of the globe this week.
Following the final 48 hour leg of the journey, the aircraft landed in Abu Dhabi, completing a 43,041km round-the-world trip.
Solar Impulse 2 first left Abu Dhabi on the 9th of March last year, before flying east in 17 legs across Asia, the Pacific, America, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean and then finally the Middle East.
The aircraft itself is fully solar powered, using a large wing-mounted array to power electric engines and charge battery packs allowing it to fly through the night. It features a larger wingspan than a Boeing 747, however weighs in at just 2.3 tonnes.
Weight restrictions forced the aircraft to have a tiny 3.8 cubic meter cockpit, which was both unheated and unpressurised. Pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg took turns to fly the craft in often gruelling conditions.
“Flying one leg with a completely new type of airplane is difficult enough, but flying around the world is a real challenge. More than a demonstration, it’s the confirmation that these technologies are truly dependable and reliable,” said Pilot André Borschberg.
Over the course of the round-the-world trip, the Solar Impulse team broke an impressive 19 world records, including the longest duration solo airplane flight, lasting 5 days and nights as the aircraft flew from Japan to Hawaii.
The team behind Solar Impulse intended the flight as a way to showcase the potential of renewable power in aviation.
“This is not only a first in the history of aviation; it’s before all a first in the history of energy. I’m sure that within 10 years we’ll see electric airplanes transporting 50 passengers on short to medium haul flights,” said Pilot Bertrand Piccard upon completing the flight.
The Solar Impulse 2 could technically fly almost perpetually, however the inclusion of a human passenger restricted its flight times.
Around the world a number of other companies are working to build unmanned drone aircraft which can fly continuously using solar power.
Among the most interesting of these are Facebook’s Aquila drone and the Airbus’s Zephyr ‘pseudo-satellite’.
Both craft are able to stay in the air for months on end, providing internet connectivity in the case of Aquila and surveillance in the case of Zephyr. | 2023-04-10T10:59:26.869770+00:00 | 2020-02-23T02:07:54Z | common-crawl |

EN-7505-466 | An Austrian legislator has retracted a promise to resign over remarks he made expressing sympathy to the Nazis.
|
|
Siegfried Kampl: "Fundamentally there is no change"
Siegfried Kampl also said he would take up the rotating post of president of the upper house of parliament in July.
He had said he would relinquish his seat amid pressure from all sides after he deplored the "brutal persecution" of Austrian Nazis after World War II.
Last month, he said his father was a member of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party like "more than 99%" of Austrians.
He also referred to Austrian deserters of Nazi Germany's armed forces as "assassins of battle comrades".
'No change'
On Sunday, the 69-year-old politician said he stood by his remarks.
"I might phrase my views a little differently, but fundamentally there is no change," Mr Kampl told ORF public radio.
"I will not give up my mandate. I will remain in the Bundesrat and I will take over the presidency."
He did, however, agree to resign as a member of Joerg Haider's Alliance for Austria's Future, the junior partner in the ruling coalition, saying he did not want to be a burden on the party.
Mr Kampl, who is also the mayor of the southern town of Gurk, said he had decided not to resign because of the "provocative" manner in which he was implored to do so by current Bundesrat president George Pehm, a Social Democrat.
Mr Pehm had said Mr Kampl's resignation was the "only possible outcome of these unacceptable statements".
Walkout threat
Days after the Kampl controversy broke on 19 April, another right-wing member of the Bundesrat, John Gudenus, contended that the existence of Nazi gas chambers "remains to be proven".
He was widely rebuked but has also refused to give up his seat.
The post of president of the Bundesrat rotates between representatives of Austria's provinces. If Mr Kampl remains in his seat, the job will automatically go to him in July.
The opposition Greens and Social Democrats have urged Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel to intervene.
"We cannot tolerate somebody like this as president of the Bundesrat," the leader of the Greens, Alexander Van Der Bellen said, while the Social Democrats said they would walk out of the legislature every time Mr Kampl took his seat.
Franz Morak, the State Secretary for Culture, said: "These statements do not belong in our time."
He added that both Mr Gudenus and Mr Kampl "should suffer the consequences of their actions". | 2024-02-13T23:29:16.218Z | 2023-07-19T00:00:00.000Z | megawika |
b76e96d37f1461d2c9c66b9a48a8fbca | Loading second class envelopes into the speed camera ticket mailing machine results in 500 tickets being canceled in Sussex, UK.
Police in Sussex, England have been forced to cancel 500 speed camera citations that were improperly handled. Under UK law, vehicle owners accused of speeding by an automated ticketing machine have just 28 days from the date a citation is printed before they must respond or face prosecution in court. After a Sussex employee loaded the wrong envelopes into the machine, delivery was slowed enough that a court could have invalidated many of the tickets for lack of proper notice.
Although the error saved £45 (US $90) in postage costs, the canceled tickets were worth £30,000 (US $60,000) in revenue. The loss is unlikely to make much of a dent to the area which used 102 speed cameras and 27 red light cameras to generate £4 million (US $8 million) in revenue last year. | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-22T17:02:27Z | c4 |
http://www.redrocker.com/discography/red-voodoo | Red Voodoo is a Sammy Hagar and The Waboritas album. When Sammy finished touring behind his Marching To Mars album, he took the band from that tour and recorded this record. Red Voodoo is really an extension of the party atmosphere that permeated throughout Sammy's concerts on that tour and this album has that whimsical party vibe. "Mas Tequila" was the lead single and it almost served as a commercial for Sammy's other career endeavor, as his Cabo Wabo Tequila was being distributed widespread throughout the United States. The cover of this album even features a glass of Waborita that Sammy spent a portion of his concerts creating on stage during his last tour.
Mas tequila.... See you in cabo this October 5 years straight... keep rockin sammy....
Just finished reading "Red"! Awesome! Love you, Sammy! When will you be back in St. Louie?
Not my favorite Sammy solo album but Sammy's music is like pizza, even if it's not the best you've ever had it's always good anyways. I liked Mas Tequila and High And Dry Again, and a few others.

https://thriveglobal.com/stories/your-tone-might-need-a-tune-up/ | Being mindful of how we use our voice can improve our communication and enhance our relationships.
You could be playing a beautiful Mozart piece on the piano, but if your piano is not in tune, then your audience will be focused not on the remarkable piece, but on how poorly it sounds. Similarly, you could have something important and valuable to share, but if the way you say it is acidic, then you will not foster open, trustworthy communication that leads to strong personal and professional relationships.
The way we say things is the foundation for our interactions. Sometimes we get wrapped up in our mental bubble, and it’s easy to react based on our inner chaos. The more introspective we are of our tone and mindful we are of how it might effect someone else the more successful we will be as leaders, communicators, and authentic relationship builders. Our voice is a powerful tool, and it is key to be aware of how we’re using it.

I wanted to reach out to see if you had any 2017 or 2018 grads that you think would be a good fit for us at Curry, both athletically and academically. After tying the program record for wins in a year in 2016, we are very excited as a staff to take the next step and begin our climb up the Commonwealth Coast Conference standings.
At the end of every recruiting season, we host a prospect day and invite prospective student-athletes that we have seen at any of the summer events to campus to play for the day. While I feel we do a good job as a staff getting out to many events, sometimes players slip under our radar, or are not at the same events as us. I would value your input on guys that you think we should be looking at, and this would be a great opportunity for us to get to know them as a player, and them to get to know our staff.
You can either get back to me with the guys that you think would be a good fit for us, or feel free to reach out to them yourself to let them know about our prospect day. It will be on August 6th from 9am – 2pm, and they can register at www.tmlacrosse.com. We have successfully recruited 18 of 27 recruits in our last two classes from our prospect days, so it is certainly a worthwhile day for the young men.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thanks in advance, and I hope you enjoy the last month of summer! | 2023-04-05T08:53:30.999Z | 2019-04-23T14:20:43Z | c4 |

https://www.heresy-online.net/threads/ukgt-2007-08-points-system.1209/page-3 | My problem is the practice! Going to a GT is a pretty big step up from the people i usually play. The last game of 40k i lost was in the heat 3 of GT last year. Not trying to be big headed, but most of the time i have to be very creative to lose! I live in Glasgow, and i go to my local GW only occasionaly. Theres generally no point. I do go to Falkirk often but again, i dont lose.
Thats one of the reasons i like GT. I can test myself and play better players!
There is a club in Glasgow called G3, but i've never been and im not actually sure where the hell it is! Perhaps i should look into this as 40k is really starting to lose it's appeal to me.
We're quite lucky in that respect here in Manchester. A couple of years ago most of us in Flame On went to the GT for the first time after some time spent practicing against each other(and the guys who had been before like Sckuzz). The experience gained from the heat and final that season meant that we spread good practice between each other and came up with new ways of playing and tactics based on these and other experiences.
Awwww Derek's harmless, he's just a posh little toff trying to slum it really!
yeah i remember about 7 or so years ago (god was it THAT long!) going up to glasgow to see my family for a month or 2 and getting some really intense games of 40k in. Lot more competitive than in preston where for a good few years me and my then mate had essentially ruled the stores 40k scene for far to long.
Its a shame its gone down really, lack of fresh new blood really. This is something i was thinking about with flame on, and why we still seem to be developing all the time. The secret is we constantly recruit in store and at tourneys. We don't alienate new gamers unless they are utter chumps/nobbers and when player ppl who aint as good are always helping them out, giving them advice and showing them how/why we do certain things during the game.
Best example i can think of is Skarr/Ben. He used to be a typical line up and shoot saturday gamer, a year on since starting to come to vets and listening to us lot he's become a tough opponent to play and has started to earn a fiar few scalps himself.
Its something that i've seen happen with too many gaming groups, they start out well, get clicky, alienate ppl with thier self imposed arogance and superiorority and then fall apart through lack of fresh callange and stagnation.
Its weird how things turn out! I'll probably go out and about around stores i usually dont go to, but even then im guaranteed that sombody in that store will know atleast of me!
The other reason that most of the people who were good stopped going to vets night is that although we have a rather large gaming room, the manager is such a whang!
The obvious thing to do is to move to Manchester.....
I think the other thing we as Flame on benefit from is the sheer ridiculous amount of tournaments we go to - think i've managed at least 14 in the last 13 months!
Yeah and what surprised me again on saturday was how relaxed and chilled out our own BotC was! It was like everyone, even Bennettio had taken a bit of a chill pill. Looking around everyone was the most relaxed and subdued i'd ever seen them at a tourney. | 2023-03-29T04:02:20.422719+00:00 | 2021-09-26T09:16:08Z | common-crawl |

http://www.shift.jp.org/en/archives/2005/12/resfest_2005.html | The biggest video festival in the world “RESFEST” had come to Japan again. Resfest go all over the world on the tour. This is the 7th time this year for this event in Japan. Compare to the first time in 1999, digital films are much closer to us that mean there is no curiosity to it, and often time, people loose interest in it, just because it is too popular. This event introduced us today’s digital films and showed us there are more potential to it.
This event was held at Laforet Museum in Harajyuku Tokyo as usual. It showed us today’s digital film media from various situations. The programs included music videos, short films, feature films, and special selection films that were selected by “Resfest” point of view, and also workshop, and talk show by todays hot directors.
There were many programs got people’s attention. Especially a film focused on musician Beck, titled ” BECK RETROSPECTIVE”, who always releases original music video with hot directors in the time, and films “TRIPLE THREAT”, “SHORTS” series, and “RESMIX” series by the three most remarkable directors today were amazing!
In those great programs, I am picking two programs, called “TWO BY MIKE MILLS” and documentary “INFAMY”. As the shift reader, you might already guess, but “TWO BY MIKE MILLS” is two films directed by Mike Mills.
The first film was titled “THE ARCHTECTURE OF REASSURANCE” in 1999. It was shot by 35mm film, so you might think, “Where did they get the projector?” but for now let’s just not worry about it. It is only better to see the film in the big screen than watching it on TV or PC. I was satisfied great landscape of a new suburban residential area, and of course Alice in the big screen. If you haven’t seen it, please check his DVD “GAS DVD”.
The other one is a documentary titled “NOT HOW, WHAT OR WHY BUT YES”. Mike Mills himself interviews and asks “What is the 5 things you want to do, if you find out you can only live 3 months?” to people with different ages, races, sex, and occupation. The answers are various, like about families, partners, and fantasies. He asks this question few times to the same people but the remaining days are getting reduced. At the end, the interviewee and also the audience end up with the theme that it doesn’t matter if you’re dying because the important thing is what you really want to do NOW. This documentary is different from his other films in terms of having beautiful images and fashion scene, but it spoke to us with great power of persuasion. Also his new movie “Thumbsucker” starring Keanu Reeves is releasing in Japan soon.
The longest, and the most controversial subject matter documentary film “INFAMY” was directed by Dag Prey. The film is about graffiti artist, their culture, and people who live around the graffiti. We see graffiti on the street everyday but most of the time we don’t know the artists or their lives. The director captures the artists’ real life for one and a half hour. ” I don’t know why but it’s OK to draw a throw up on top of a tag, and it’s OK to draw a piece on top of a throw up” said Crow who is one of the artists in the film. There are rules when you draw a graffiti, and it came up from somewhere but nobody knows where. Toomer from TKO crew tells us that people think he is a gang member, though he is not. He says graffiti shows the artist’s life itself; family, his identity, and his friends. The detail about this film is on the official website with detail about the artists in the movie.
At last, I have to write about ” FOUR SEASONS OF TRAKTOR! A RETROSPECTIVE”, directed by TRAKTOR.
They also showed their entire films from their carrier, and had a talk show at this event. TRAKTOR is a group of six directors from Sweden. They’ve been in the forefront of making dark humorous TV commercial for over ten years. Their projects have a unique reality to it. As they said at the talk show, ” tackling nonsense idea seriously” is the key to their wired realism, like the commercials for Fox Sports, or Discovery Channel.

9f816c73b100fbd3ca1d1b488792d925 | If you want to buy a new BMW Z4, you’ll end up spending around $55,000. But if you want to buy a super-heavy artistic non-working replica that you can’t drive or even push around, it’ll cost you $125,000. The car’s creator, Chinese artist Dai Geng, hopes that one of his country’s rich businessmen will see his brick recreation of the sports car as a must-have accessory for his garden.
The brick BMW is an incredibly impressive piece of craftsmanship. Other than the glass windows, everything on the car is made from bricks. Dai Geng cemented every brick together, a stage of construction that took him more than a year, and then carved the solid block into the realistic speed machine.
Even the hinges on the doors – which let the brick doors actually open and close – are made of brick. The interior is meticulously recreated to look just like the real-life BMW, even including the heater vents and door handles. Originally unveiled in January 2010, the car was on display for a year and is now being offered up for sale to whoever is willing to part with 125 large for the most expensive lawn ornament ever. | 2023-05-27T23:01:16.627Z | 2018-02-18T01:15:31.000Z | falcon-refinedweb/data |

Another day, another Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian event we weren't invited to attend. When you're a celebrity, apparently no party is too informal for sequins, fur, and a full airbrushed makeup look. Kim K and J.Lo just showed fans how taco night is really done (spoiler alert: it doesn't include guacamole stained sweatpants). Watch the video below to see footage from the women's super fancy taco party!
Of course, the ladies documented the entire night with selfies, photos, and videos from the event. J.Lo even posted a photo to her Instagram writing "When Kimmy comes we always have to take a selfie... 👯♀️🎄🌮💋." Fans were loving the night shared between the two celebs and their other famous guests. One commenter wrote, "The fact that they look the same age it’s amazing to me 😍😍😍," while another added, "You guys go hard 👌🌮👯 💦."
Not only were two generations represented (Kris Jenner and J.Lo's mama Guadalupe Rodriguez were in attendance!) but Leah Remini, Carole Bayer Sager, and Kourtney Kardashian also swung by to indulge in some delicious Mexican food. We love the friendship between these women — and we love that they can take time off of from their strict diets to eat some yummy tacos!
