Gandi offers a free SSL certificate during one year for any domain you buy there, nice. But the setup is a bit tedious and the documentation a bit disparate, so here's an attempt for a comprehensive howto for configuring a secured nginx vhost using your free certificate.
Disclaimer: Gandi's quite complicated email confirmation and validation workflow won't be covered in this post. Just ensure you can receive emails at admin@domain.tld where domain.tld is your domain.
The process will create 2 files: a public .csr file, and a private .key file which you must absolutely keep private.
Note: Alas, you won't be able to extend your certificate to all possible subdomains using a wildcard as it is only supported starting with their «Pro» offer.
Next, head to your Gandi domain management page, select your domain, click on SSL Certificate: Manage, click on Activate this certificate then Paste the content of the generated domain.tld.csr file into the textarea and submit the form. Then wait for some email from Gandi to confirm your demand.
Upload them both to your server, store them in eg. /etc/nginx/certificates/ (nope, this directory is unlikely to exist by default; do as you like).
Restart nginx and you should be able to access your website using https://domain.tld/.
@n1k0 browsers (ff and others) allow us to validate via a DNS entry we will change the workflow in some weeks when we'll put it in the API.
If you're looking for other alternatives than Gandi for getting SSL certs, it seems that many people are speaking well of StartSSL despite their ugly site, but I didn't use the service myself.

The first watch company to ever make me feel, as an adult man, that I had found "my brand", was Officine Panerai. Why? Because what could be more appealing than the idea that the modern luxury watch you are strapping onto your wrist, is based on the dive watches worn by Italian naval commandos? Panerai's watches are so rich in narrative, so powerful and emotive, that the first time I saw one, I knew I had to have one. So I saved the better part of half a year's freelance-writing salary to purchase my first Panerai, a PAM00061, a titanium-cased timepiece with a stunning tobacco-colored dial. And the moment I bought this watch, I knew it was the start of an addiction.
Panerai was also the subject of my very first freelance watch story for the national newspaper in Singapore, a story that turned out to be easy to write because the brand is so brilliantly steeped in the most extraordinary mythology. Panerai began as a maker of luminous sighting devices, before being tapped by the Italian Navy in the '30s to create robust dive watches with dials that would glow even in the dark depths of the ocean. In the '90s, the brand began to make a few limited series of civilian watches, using its core military design iconography, as well as the famous crown lever-locking device in a model known as the Luminor Marina.
The story goes that the Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone came across a Panerai one day and fell in love with it. He showed it to his friend Johann Rupert, the owner of Richemont Group, who subsequently purchased the brand. Upon taking ownership of Panerai, the new owners found a box of new, old-stock vintage Rolex movements. They put these movements inside a 60-piece series of platinum Radiomir (the brand's cushion-shaped case) watches and, with this first model, recouped the entire cost of purchasing the brand. However, even more amazing is the fact that this watch — the PAM00021 — is today one of the world's most collectible timepieces.
It was at the onset of the Richemont Group era for Panerai that a very special man was tapped to helm this brand — to, in essence, guide it from being a military tool to becoming an established high-luxury brand. That man's name is Angelo Bonati, and what he didn't tell anyone at the time, was that his vision for Panerai's future surpassed even their loftiest expectations. Because inside his mind's eye, he could see where he wanted to guide Panerai, to move beyond a luxury watch brand to become a true manufacture, creating some of the most ambitious in-house technical achievements, including an in-house tourbillon, an equation of time and sidereal-time display, and a split-seconds chronograph, always as an expression of Panerai's roots in function and performance. His decision to approve a 50-piece limited-edition REVOLUTION watch was an extraordinary statement in his confidence in our journalistic integrity and a gesture of amazing largesse.
I immediately contacted Hammer to tell him that, first of all, the "00" prototype of this watch would be jointly auctioned by Panerai and REVOLUTION for his charity, the Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Association, which uses sports to help reconnect individuals with spinal injuries to a life beyond the wheelchair. Secondly, I explained that we needed to start designing a watch! Amazingly, we both said the exact same two words: "Black Seal". But let's place these words in context. One of Hammer's and my favorite eras in Panerai history relates to the "pre-Vendôme" era, which includes watches made between 1993 and 1997, when the brand started making 44mm Luminor Marina watches and 42mm Mare Nostrum chronographs for civilian consumption upon the cancellation of its contract with the Italian Navy.
Of the pre-Vendôme Luminor Marinas, nine different models were created, including the ref. 5218-201/A "Logo" in 677 examples, the ref. 5218-201/A Slytech Submersible in 12 prototypes, the ref. 5218-202/A Marina Militare with a black PVD-steel case in 140 pieces, the ref. 5218-203/A Luminor Marina with a black PVD-steel case in 200 pieces, the ref. 5218-205/A Slytech Submersible in 95 examples, the ref. 5218-207/A Slytech Daylight — in conjunction with Sylvester Stallone's film Daylight — in 105 examples, the ref. 5218-209 steel Luminor made in 12 pieces, and the ref. 5218-210 Luminor with a PVD case made in just two pieces.
However, the most famous pre-Vendôme Panerai comes from 1996, and is the ref. 5218-218/A Luminor Marina with a black PVD-steel case and the four lines "Luminor, Panerai, Black Seal, Slytech" on its dial. It is simply stunning, and part of its lore is that it was prototyped in five examples, but due to the sale of Panerai to Richemont Group, never produced in series. It is today one of the most collectible Luminor Marina watches, fetching well in excess of a quarter-million US dollars if — and that's a big if — you can find one. Hammer and I instinctively knew we wanted to pay homage to this incredible watch.
Mr. Bonati replied, "I am saying no to your first proposal, but I propose to you something different." Little did we know at the time that Bonati and Panerai had already prepared an incredible homage to the Black Seal, in the form of a set of paired pre-Vendôme-inspired watches, dubbed PAM00785.
In the end, I think we created a watch that wonderfully unites two different eras in Panerai's history. Its design is definitely pre-Vendôme in spirit; in particular, the three lines of text combined with the logo, which, in Panerai-collecting lore, makes it a coveted "four-liner". Hammer says, "If you look at Panerai's history, many of the most collectible watches are 'four-liners'." The DLC (diamond-like carbon) case is a fitting homage to the pre-Vendôme era's PVD case, and also emphasizes Panerai's pioneer status as the first high-luxury brand to use blackened steel cases. For many years, Angelo Bonati would refuse to make more black-cased watches because he felt the technology at the time was not good enough. He reintroduced black watches by using ceramic, the first of these being a Radiomir watch. But for small, nostalgic limited productions, he would agree to make black steel cases, but now with DLC coatings, which are far more robust than the PVD (physical vapor deposition) coatings of old. We asked for the Super-LumiNova, as well the dial and hands, to be made in ecru to replicate aged vintage tritium, and also to distinguish our watch from the PAM 195 four-liner Luminor Marina made several years ago for the website Paneristi. But while all of these design codes were backward-looking, inside would be Panerai's in-house manual-winding movement with an eight-day power reserve — an incredible testament to Angelo Bonati's vision to transform Panerai into a true manufacture. In totality, the watch is an incredible gesture of friendship, and moving beyond words.
* The PAM00599 millesimation no. 00/50 will be presented for sale at the Sotheby's Hong Kong "Important Watches" spring auction (April 2015), with all proceeds going towards Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Association, Queensland. The donation will be made in the name of Mr Alan Bloore, also known as "Hammer" in the worldwide Paneristi community. To read Hammer's side of the PAM00599 story, visit the Paneristi.com forums.

Alexandr Jan Cuza (rumunsky: Alexandr Ioan Cuza) (20. březen 1820, Huși, Rumunsko – 15. květen 1873, Heidelberg, Německo) byl v letech 1859–1862 kníže Valašska a Moldávie a zároveň v letech 1859–1866 vládce resp. domnitor Spojených knížectví Valašska a Moldávie (od roku 1862 Spojené knížectví Rumunska).

Historie
Když se v roce 1859 stal zároveň valašským i moldavským knížetem, spojil svou osobou obě rumunská knížectví, a to i později jako Spojená knížectví Valašska a Moldávie, čímž byl položen základ budoucímu Rumunsku. V roce 1862 byl tento celek přejmenován na Spojená knížectví Rumunska.
Alexander Ioan Cuza však neuspěl při realizaci své zemědělské reformy a také v systému vlády, v němž měl za vzor Napoleona III. Když byl (díky tomu) v roce 1866 domnitor Cuza svržen, byla nabídnuta rumunská knížecí koruna hohenzollernskému princi Karlu Eitelovi von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. Ten nabídku přijal a stal se v roce 1866 rumunským knížetem a v roce 1881 prvním rumunským králem. Dynastie Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen pak v Rumunsku vládla až do komunistického převratu v roce 1947.

Rodina
V roce 1844 se Alexandr oženil s moldavskou šlechtičnou Elenou Rosetti (1825–1909). Elena nemohla mít děti. V šedesátých letech měl Alexandr vztah s Marijou Catargiu-Obrenovičovou. Marija byla vdova po srbském knížeti Miloši Obrenovičovi a matka budoucího srbského krále Milana I. Obrenoviče. Alexandr měl s Marijou dva syny, Alexandra a Dimitrie, které Alexandrova manželka Elena vychovávala jako vlastní. Elena byla velkou filantropkou, starala se především o sirotky.

Moldavsko a Valašsko
I po vyhnání Turků ze Sedmihradska koncem 17. století zůstávala podunajská vévodství Moldavsko a Valašsko pod jejich nadvládou. Od počátku 18. století na jimi kontrolovaná území Turci dosazovali své vládce. Těmi byli tzv. fanarioné - bohatí Řekové, žijící v cařihradské čtvrti Fanaru. Jejich úkolem bylo hlavně násobit zisky plynoucí z Moldavska a Valašska do turecké pokladny. Od konce 18. století v oblasti stoupal vliv Ruska. Roku 1775 Moldavsko ztratilo Bukovinu ve prospěch rodu Habsburků. Roku 1812 získalo Rusko Besarábii, moldavské území východně od řeky Prut. Roku 1829 tzv. drinopolským mírem získalo Rusko v podunajských knížectvích velký vliv a ovlivňovalo i obsazování knížecích stolců. Carskými vojáky bylo potlačeno i revoluční povstání z roku 1848. Nadvláda Petrohradu v zemi byla ukončena po porážce Ruska v krymské válce (1853-1856). Ochrana obou států , Moldávie a Valašska byla poté svěřena evropským velmocím.

Alexandru I. - sjednotitel
Po svém otci pocházel Alexandru Ioan Cuza z moldavské bojarské rodiny. Jeho matka Sultana pocházela z bohaté fanarionské rodiny. Své vzdělání získal v kadetních školách v Postupimi a v Paříži. Jako účastník moldavské revoluce v roce 1848 byl zatčen. Uprchl s britskou pomocí a po návratu do Moldavska byl v roce 1850 jmenován plukovníkem a prefektem okresu Galati. Jako představitel strany Partida Nationala usiloval o sjednocení obou států. Roku 1858 byl jmenován ministrem války spojených knížectví Valašska a Moldavska. V lednu 1859 byl zvolen moldavským knížetem a o měsíc později knížetem valašským. 23.12.1861 jej osmanský sultán potvrdil jako vládce spojených knížectví. Roku 1862 vyhlásil Alexandr obě spojená knížectví za jediné knížectví rumunské. Turecko ovšem uznávalo toto sjednocení jen po dobu Alexandrova života.

Alexandru I. - reformátor
Více než čtvrtina země byl v majetku církve. V letech 1863 – 1864 provedl Alexandr pozemkovou reformu, hlavně sekularizací církevního majetku. Na pozemkovou reformu navázal zrušením nevolnictví a zavedením všeobecného volebního práva. Reformy vyvolaly nespokojenost ortodoxní církve a šlechty. V roce 1864 vydal moderní trestní zákoník, jehož základem byl Napoleonův Code civil. Alexandr také založil univerzity v Iasi a v Bukurešti. Universita v Bukurešti dodnes nese jeho jméno. Pokusu o puč čelil Alexandr poprvé v roce 1864. Podruhé byl dne 22. února 1866 napaden nespokojenými důstojníky ve svém paláci a donucen abdikovat. Druhého dne musel opustit Rumunsko a do exilu s ním odešla i jeho žena spolu s jeho milenkou Marijou. V emigraci žili střídavě v Rakousku, v Německu a Itálii. Elena přežila nejen manžela, Mariju a i své nelegitimní syny.

Rumunsko po Alexandrovi
V roce 1866 převzal vládu v Rumunsku pruský důstojník, kníže Karl Eitel Friedrich Zephyrin z rodu Hohenzollern–Sigmaringen. Ten se stal rumunským knížetem jako Carol I. (nar. 1839, vládl 1866–1914, od roku 1881 jako král). Rumunsko bylo vyhlášeno královstvím po rusko–rumunském vítězství nad Turky ve válce 1877–1878. Rumunsko, které prohlášeno za nezávislé, získalo Dobrudžu s důležitým přístavem Constanta. Království bylo vyhlášeno 23.3. 1881 a Carol I. zavedl částečně demokratickou ústavu a pustil se do přebudování armády podle pruského vzoru. Rod Hohenzollern–Sigmaringen pak vládl v Rumunsku až do roku 1947, kdy bylo Rumunsko prohlášeno republikou.

It sounds like Lord of the Rings is coming to the small screen. Warner Bros. TV is working with the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien to turn the author's book series into a TV show. Amazon Studios is in talks for the series. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is directly involved in the negotiations.
The Lord of the Rings TV show is in the very early stages of development. No deal has been finalized, but the episodes will be based on the 'classic fantasy novels and their assortment of hobbits, wizards, and warriors'.
Warner Bros. and the J.R.R. Tolkien estate have been shopping the series for a while now. The idea sparked a very competitive bidding situation, in which Amazon emerged as the front runner. Both Amazon and Warner Bros. refused to comment on the proposed deal.
Bezos, who is a huge fan of the Tolkien books, doesn't usually get directly involved in the deal making process when it comes to original Amazon shows. But this show arrives at a unique moment for the streaming giant. Last month, there was a huge executive flush, with president Roy Price, head of scripted Joe Lewis, and head of unscripted Conrad Riggs all ousted from their positions.
Roy Price left the company after a producer made sexual harassment allegations against him, with the incident said to have happened during production on Amazon's hit series The Man in the High Castle. The others left just a week later.
Bezos has set a new programming mandate at Amazon, with Lord of the Rings falling in line with what he is proposing. Amazon Studios wants to shift away from 'niche, naturalistic series' such as Transparent and Mozart in the Jungle, as Variety puts it. They are now focused on shows with broad international appeal. Z: The Beginning of Everything and The Last Tycoon were both canceled under this new regime.
Warner Bros. and the Tolkien estate settled a huge lawsuit in July that had been dragging on since 2012. The pair were fighting over the use of Lord of the Rings characters in online slot machines and other games. They now appear to be working together again to further the Rings franchise.
With the show in early development, it hasn't been decided how soon this show will go into production. It will be a huge undertaking, and may not arrive on Amazon until 2020, which seems far away but is only three years. It is unclear if Amazon plans on remaking Peter Jackson's trilogy as a TV show or if there is a different angle that the studio is taking with the material. At this time, none of the original cast is said to be returning.

GOP lawmaker Amy Loudenbeck launches secretary of state campaign, calls for office to take control of elections
Wisconsin secretary of state has few responsibilities under constitution
By Laurel White
Wednesday, December 1, 2021, 10:00am
A GOP state lawmaker launched her campaign for secretary of state Wednesday, angling to unseat longtime Democratic incumbent Doug La Follette in 2022 and redefine the office's responsibilities — including taking over some control of election administration in Wisconsin.
Rep. Amy Loudenbeck, R-Clinton, announced her campaign at an event Thursday morning in Janesville. A member of the Legislature's powerful state budget committee, Loudenbeck was first elected to the state Assembly in 2010.
Unlike many other states, the Wisconsin secretary of state has few official responsibilities under the state constitution. The office is tasked with some elements of general state record keeping, as well as serving on the state's Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, which oversees some state investment funds, aid, loans and land holdings.
In an interview with WPR, Loudenbeck said the secretary of state's office should do more.
"No one likes to see someone that collects a state paycheck and isn't actually doing anything that adds value to the state of Wisconsin," she said.
Loudenbeck said she will campaign on adding responsibilities to the office, including taking over some control of state election administration, as is the case for secretaries of state in several other states. She said the change could include the secretary of state "participating in some of the duties the (Wisconsin Elections Commission) conducts, or even just serving on the commission." The bipartisan commission of appointed members has taken sharp criticism from GOP state lawmakers in recent weeks following a nonpartisan audit of the 2020 election. Some elected clerks who oversee elections have also been criticized over their handling of the 2020 presidential election.
"I think there's a lot of frustration from the public that there is no one directly accountable to the voters that is involved in the administration of elections," she said.
Loudenbeck said if there is an opportunity for the secretary of state "to serve as a check" on the elections commission, it should be explored.
"I think those are good conversations to have, but they're not going to happen with Doug La Follette in that office," she said.
La Follette, 81, has been serving as secretary of state continuously since 1983. Prior to that, he served a term in the office from 1975-79. He has maintained the seat for decades despite several challenges from Republicans and Democratic primary opponents alike. He won reelection in 2018 with 53 percent of the vote. He has not yet filed for reelection.
Aside from Loudenbeck, four others have filed to run for the office in 2022. Those include GOP candidate Jay Schroeder, whose bid for the seat won 47 percent of the vote in 2018. In his campaign announcement earlier this month, Schroeder also advocated for the office to take over control of elections in Wisconsin. The other candidates are Republican Dmitry Becker, Republican Daniel Schmidtka and Libertarian Neil Harmon.
Loudenbeck said previous attempts to unseat La Follette haven't been successful because the message of reforming the office "hasn't gotten through" in previous elections.
"In Republican years, in Democrat years, it's just been sort of this below-the-radar race, and I want to raise the profile of this office in this election cycle and moving forward," she said.
The partisan primary for the race will be held in August.

In 'The Homesman,' Wind Is The Sound Of Insanity Two composers became instrument builders to score the film, set in the pioneer days of the American West. "We both knew what the movie sounded like. We just had to find it," Tommy Lee Jones says.

"I want it to be folksy, but surrounded by madness," director Tommy Lee Jones told The Homesman's composers.
The new film The Homesman is set in the pioneer days of the American West. It was directed by Tommy Lee Jones, who called on his regular composers, Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders, for the music. But instead of writing a traditional score for symphony orchestra, they became inventors and instrument builders to capture the story's desperate mood. Jones has a simple way of describing his approach to scoring a film: "The process is to derive music from what the lens is looking at," he says.
Jones met with the composers more than a year ago to start thinking about a score that would help tell the story of three pioneer women who lose their minds in the bleak and unforgiving Nebraska territory.
"We certainly didn't want 'crazy' music, the kind of music you hear when the giant ants appear after the flying saucer crashes," Jones says. "We didn't want effects music. We wanted to do something original, and that was reflective of the country and the way the country sounds. We both knew what the movie sounded like. We just had to find it."
Jones usually gives direction in broad strokes, saying something like, "I want it to be folksy, but surrounded by madness."
"You know, when you get a comment like that, you can really run with it," Buck Sanders says. "And he'll let you know very quickly if it's not what he's thinking. And so it was really a dream gig — just to be able to work with a director like that, who would give you artistic freedom."
Sanders and Marco Beltrami first took inspiration from the music of the nature so prevalent in the film's setting.
"You know, wind was a factor for a lot of these women, and just everybody in general there," Beltrami says. "The wind would even make people go crazy, besides the disease and all the hardships. And so we were thinking, 'How can we channel that?' And one of Buck's first instincts was to begin examining Aeolian harps, which — you know, they're basically just strings attached to some surface, wooden surface often, and they resonate with the wind, and you can tune them. And Tommy came up here — actually on a very windy day — and was blown away by how... I think he said basically we just suck the music right out of the air. [Laughs.] Which is sort of true."
Beltrami's Malibu studio sits up high in the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean. There, he and Sanders have dreamed up the music for World War Z, 3:10 To Yuma and two other films directed by Jones. Sanders was largely responsible for building the wind harp, which looks like power lines growing out of the back of a weathered old piano.
"So this is the Aeolian wind piano," Sanders says. "It's an old upright that our piano tuner found, like in a basement, that he was willing to donate. We put it on top of a 10-foot-tall metal storage unit. He just put it, like, in a tractor scoop and dumped it up here. And then they strapped it down, and then we have eight piano wires coming perpendicularly out of the piano soundboard, and running 175 feet up the hill to two large metal water-storage tanks to catch the winds."
When they tethered the wires to those tanks, they stumbled onto one of the score's signature sounds.
"You could put your ear up to the water tank, and you can hear stuff's going on in there, and certain frequencies resonate really strongly," Sanders says. "I wasn't too sure what it would get. You know, it was just an experiment, and a fun day on the job. [Laughs.] But it ended up being a beautiful, crystalline-type sound."
It's a sound meant to evoke the characters' unsteady grasp on sanity.
The two composers did use more traditional instruments to capture the film's environment. They recorded a small string ensemble, but they recorded it outdoors.
"It's a very austere environment, this environment of the settlers coming to the plains in the mid-19th century," Beltrami says. "And we're so used to recording scores in warm rooms that have a lot of reverberation, and that are built beautifully and make everything sound great. But it wasn't really the environment of the setting."
In one scene, the woman who volunteers to transport the women back east, played by Hilary Swank, gets lost and ends up nearly losing her own mind.
"She's going around in circles," Beltrami says. "And we thought, this shouldn't have any of the warmth that you would normally have in a room recording the sound. If there's any way it can just dissipate into the air, it would be great."
This may seem like a lot of trouble to go through in an era when the click of a key can do so much to imitate or manipulate music.
"The wonderful thing about this score was just the amount of tactile experience we had, you know, building stuff and working outside," Sanders says. "Because film scoring has become very sort of computer-centric, and a lot of shows have to use samples to get the mockups done. But I think really having that, what really is a physical experience, of building instruments and recording outside — it creates a strong connection with the music that does inspire you, and you know it's yours.
"You have to keep the nature of fun in it," Beltrami says. "If it's just a question of punching keys into a computer, that gets old. This has to remain fun and inspiring in order to come up with new things. And I think we're just continuing along a time-honored tradition of exploration here."
Beltrami says one of the best things about working with Tommy Lee Jones is the leeway he allows the composers.
"Creative freedom, and the opportunity for originality, is about all we had to offer Marco," Jones says. "It's not something he gets every day, and that's really the basis of our working relationship."


On December 13th, 2012, some of Chicago's trendiest industry folk, socialites, business elites, and insiders came together to join Le Prestige du Monde to raise funds for the American Heart Association at Y Bar Chicago. "La Joie de Vivre" - PdM's holiday benefit - included very special appearances by notable socialites, including Miss Illinois US 2012 Nancy To, Global Fashionista Ogilvie, Miss Chicago 2012 Marisa Buchheit, the Polish American Association's Special Events Associate Director Barbara Sobecka, and many other notable society insiders.
With Sum Lau, Jerry Rodriguez, Omar Vazquez, and Xavier LeBlanc as the official film and photography team, the event's developments commenced on point - ready to be captured to its fullest. MUA Angelo Romero used his abilities to turn already gorgeous young women into captivating femmes.
The evening began with the highly-anticipated cocktail reception from 7pm-8pm with sponsored alcoholic delights by EC Charro Tequila, Indio Beer, and Aged 2 Perfection decadent wines. Guests had the opportunity to sample a wide-range of fusion tequila cocktails and succulent wine while indulging in savory delights from Chipotle Mexican Grill.
Throughout the evening, guests representing many of Chicago's top designer brands, labels, and modeling agencies mingled while tickets for PdM's luxury raffle were sold by the official evening couple - Paula and Pete. Prizes for the luxury raffle included exclusive treatments by Savon Spa, premium wine from Aged 2 Perfection, a pair of certified authentic boxing gloves signed by Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez (valued at $600), a 4-hour photoshoot - including loft usage and wardrobe changes - with MoHall Loft, one on one photography sessions with the talented Anthony Phong Tran of Third Party Photography, a hand-crafted, Swarovski crystal bracelet (valued at $350) by Tina la Diamantina, pizza and beer soiree from D'Agostino's Pizza, a couture women's evening gown by J.LF designs, special organic tea goodies from Bello Tea, and a $100 gift certificate to Y Bar, among other exquisite goods.
The magic of the evening unfolded - with guests enjoying the presence of old friends while excitingly making new ones - as house goddess CZBoogie created an ambiance of nouveau chic with her dynamic sounds.
Guests had the opportunity to enjoy a cocktail - or 3 - while viewing some of the latest designs by La Chambre d'Anit and J.LF modeled by gorgeous national and international models. The dresses, which one admirer considered "daring with a touch of grace", are made by local designers to fit the modern and style-conscious Chicago woman.
Y Bar Chicago, which is located in Chicago's trendy River North district, combines elegance with style. Attendees ensured that they wore their very best to raise funds for a good cause while admiring the decor (and the beautiful ladies gracing the event).
Petite mignon swag bags - which included decadent vegan desserts by Chef Lucia and goodies from Bello Tea and Kahlo Salon - were given to guests as raffle winners were announced. Models handed out the goodies while thanking guests for their support and generosity.
"La Joie de Vivre", which was showcased by Scene Chicago and Extra Newspaper among several other media outlets, has been called one of the "most fun and vibrant benefits suited well for the (holiday) season".
As the evening came to an end, guests kept the room filled with laughter, smiles, and plenty of joie de vivre that came from the heart - or from a few glasses of premium tequila.
Le Prestige du Monde would like to thank Y Bar Chicago and all liquor, food, luxury raffle, and individual sponsors for making "La Joie de Vivre" a possibility. A very special merci beaucoup goes to the amazing crowd who came out to support a night of culinary and fashion plaisanterie while raising funds for the American Heart Association of Chicago.
Stay tuned for our series of très attendu events coming in 2013.
Until then, à bientôt, chérie.

Q: PowerBi - Set Axis Maximum as a measure I want to be able to set the maximum on my Y axis for a visual based on a calculated measure.
For example, if i have a measure which is max number of steps covered for a group, and i want this to be the maximum on y scale so it remains dynamic to changes.
Is this possible?

A: With the power bi visuals it is not possible to directly use a measure on the axis.
There are a number of workarounds using a calculated column and IF statements to create a column that can be use. SO answer and Power BI Community
One other alternative would be to use a R visual, they are able to take a measure and apply it to an axis

"I'm now in my second full time job since graduating, and this job is more in line with the degree I studied. My first job at Gandys Flip Flops taught me the basic skills required to be able to survive in the working world; with it being a start up at the time I joined, I took on a lot of jobs to gain the experience I would need to move onto something bigger and better. Having left my old position, I now work for a globally recognised luxury online fashion retailer, Net-A-Porter. By studying and working full time for two years during my first position, it has all paid off for me as I was able to work for an incredible brand.
My advice to anyone wanting to get into the same line of work as me would be to make sure you have a backbone; the working world isn't an easy place to be in, so being able to stand on your own two feet is invaluable.

On Friday my local network from TimeWarnerCable went down. Undaunted by the fact that I was in the middle of a conference call and a Go To Meeting host, I popped open my iPhone and connected to the Wifi hotspot. AND reconnected the call by joining both other callers through my phone.
And something in that process, either the tethering or the threeway calling through the same phone, brought my web experience to a painful and slow death. For a short period of time I could keep up with the conversation my friends were having, using Facebook to follow along. (See the caller had switched the conference to webex, but the invite was lodged in my spam folder in Outlook.
So I had no visual and was forced to imagine what this Facebook sales rep was telling me, because the web became unusable. WHAT?
Just a second. My LTE iPhone 5 has killer stats. I should be flying through this operation with no problems. But the web became dead to me. And unfortunately I couldn't just reboot the phone and the computer because the call was routing through my iPhone. I was skewered and SOL.
So in theory the web via tethered LTE should be lightening fast. Faster than my terrestrial-based cable line even. But in practice, perhaps because the phonecall was taking technical priority, my LTE became NOT.
How much of this technology becomes a tether to us, as in a leash rather than wings? How many clients expect our response in minutes not hours? I recall a conversation I had with a client a few years ago.
BOOM. The expectations had been set before my tenure, that emails would be answered within minutes or at most hours. AND that included when the email came in at 8pm at night.
INBOX ZERO had become INBOX NOW.
And if I allowed that behavior or expectation to run my life, I guess I would have agreed to answer messages at all hours. But I didn't.
For the most part, technology is our friend. But on occasion we have to fight the tether, kill the twitch response to answer at all times of the night. Technology is a tool we use, but should not be a tool used to control us. I did check that client's in-bound messages a bit more frequently, but I refused to agree to some 1 hour SLA on responding to emails.
We need to the web to conduct business. Today it's my presentation tool, my phone, and my rolodex.
We also need to shut the damn thing off and walk away from the net and the client and the response to input. I don't subscribe to DAY WITHOUT TECH strategies, I'd get too far behind on my own creative projects, but I do suggest you get a handle on your tech before the tech has you by the throat, before the tether has become a chain.


Tours. This tour led me all around the city and highlighted the famous filming locations from movies and television shows. We started in a classic New York spot: Ellen's Stardust Diner. Among the mist and the clouds, I stood under the brightly lit sign and waited for my tour guide to arrive.
Roseanne, a spirited and funny professional actress, greeted our group. Along with Luis, our bus driver, we were quickly on the road to see the famous film sights of NYC. Roseanne is extremely knowledgeable about all movie trivia and facts of NYC, she used her talent and humor to make the tour even more entertaining.
A never-ending, always crowded, tourist trap, every New Yorker knows to avoid when possible. However, it is a very popular spot for film. This was the first of many times Roseanne proved just how knowledgeable she is. It has been the setting of countless movies, but did you know the only movie where they completely shut down Times Square was Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise? Since it caused so many traffic issues, the city no longer allows Time Square to be closed for filming. So, when they filmed Birdman (Michael Keaton, Emma Stone) they had to utilize the people already there as extras!
One of my favorite childhood spots and the setting of some of my favorite movies like Eloise at the Plaza, Bride Wars, and Home Alone 2. Also, the Pulitzer fountain was inspiration for the fountain in the opening credits of Friends!
Catch Liz Lemon (30 Rock) getting hot dog or try to spot a celebrity host from SNL, Rockefeller Plaza is where you can find the giant Christmas Tree, ice skating rink and your favorite morning talk shows.
A beautiful spot on 5th Ave, surrounded by Bryant Park, where everyone took shelter in The Day After Tomorrow and where Jerry Seinfeld from Seinfeld had an overdue book from 1971!
Also known as NYU's unofficial campus, Roseanne told us how while leading a tour last summer, she saw Ghostbusters 3 filming (and then even made it into the trailer!). Also a notable spot was Will Smith's townhouse in I Am Legend on Washington Square North.
The location of some of the most sought after real estate on the island (residents include Taylor Swift, Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyonce and Jay-Z) it also is the home to Hook and Ladder 8, the firehouse from the original Ghost Busters.
One of my favorites of the whole tour, it was exciting to see the exterior of the apartment where we all wished we lived, and even better, the exterior of Ugly Naked Guy's apartment that is across the street!
NO SOUP FOR YOU! Based on this real life spot, Seinfeld's Soup Nazi is infamous for his crazy rules and precise ordering strategy.
So, if you're like me, a movie connoisseur, Netflix binger, and someone who watched all 10 seasons of Friends in under 3 months, then this tour is definitely for you.
A big thanks to my amazing tour guide Roseanne and our bus driver Luis, who made this tour such a fun experience!


Corporate executives struggle to harness the power of social technologies. Twitter, Facebook, blogs, YouTube are where customers discuss products and companies, write their own news, and find their own deals but how do you integrate these activities into your broader marketing efforts? It's an unstoppable groundswell that affects every industry -- yet it's still utterly foreign to most companies running things now.
When consumers you've never met are rating your company's products in public forums with which you have no experience or influence, your company is vulnerable. In Groundswell, Josh Bernoff and Charlene Li explain how to turn this threat into an opportunity.
Groundswell is required reading for executives seeking to protect and strengthen their company's public image.

Factors To Consider When Hiring an Auto Accident Attorney Every driver is aware of the risks they are exposed when driving their automobiles on public roads on a day to day basis. Our local TV channels are littered with promotions that urge drivers to seek the services of an auto accident attorney whenever they get injuries as a result of motor vehicle collisions. Reading through this piece will enlighten motorists on the importance of approaching these legal experts. The lawyers will provide legal representation to individuals who claim to have suffered injuries due to the negligence or wrongdoing or other automobile drivers. The main agenda here is to ensure that the complainant receives adequate compensation due to dangerous driving by other road users. If you happen to be the driver at fault, the accident attorneys can negotiate for a reduction of the sentence to be read out by the judge in court. it is advisable that you be aware of what applies when seeking professional assistance from your lawyer. In general, the severity of your injury is dependent on three factors, the form of harm involved, how much time is needed to recover and the cost of covering medical bills. It is necessary to consider the above premises before you make the decision of going for legal expert. Long term or permanent disability is a serious factor since it locks out the victim from many life opportunities such as employment and the possibility of starting a family. It is common to have doctors get in touch with your representative to substantiate your claims of severe body harm as a result of the accident. There are situations where your insurance company may renege on their obligation to pay a reasonable compensation; it is advisable to seek counsel from an attorney. An outright refusal by the insurance company to pay car accident settlements occurs when they claim that the complainant has no sufficient evidence to prove the defendant's fault in the crash. Your choice of attorney should be guided by a few principles. It is important that you hire a representative who possesses the requisite qualifications and is knowledgeable in the areas of client compensation. Single out lawyers who have a specific interest in personal injury cases; this ensures that the expert you are dealing has experience in dealing with cases similar to yours. The final aspect to consider is the individual's reputation; a directory search will provide the names of most successful attorneys in your region. What other people say about the lawyer should be taken seriously before you commit. Study: My Understanding of Experts What Has Changed Recently With Services?
It is necessary to put some factors into consideration before you buy your new home. You have to scrutinize the house. When you are examining the house, you are determining the condition of the whole building. If you want to know how important your future home is, you should ensure house inspection. Most people think that inspection of buildings is a waste of money, but home inspection is worth the value of your money.
Building control helps in saving your money. By checking your home, you might change the decision of buying that home and look for a better option. The major factor that can encourage you to look for a better option is the defects in the house. In the course of your stay, you might recognize some hidden defects that might require massive innovation expenditure.

Sara Canaday
Career Development > Leadership
A rare blend of analytical entrepreneur and perceptive warmth, Sara Canaday has a unique gift for helping high-potential professionals to achieve their best. Sara began her journey working full-time while she earned an MBA. As she climbed the ladder of corporate America, she repeatedly observed a surprising phenomenon: the most successful people weren't necessarily the ones with the highest IQ or best job skills. She recognized instead that career advancement was much more closely linked with how people applied their knowledge and talents -- their capacity to collaborate, communicate, and influence others. Because of this revelation early on, Sara developed an uncanny ability to pinpoint the pivotal attributes that could make or break a career, and she was able to convey that information in a compassionately candid way. Colleagues, subordinates, and superiors alike frequently approached Sara for her advice on overcoming career hurdles and developing strategies to increase their personal market value. Despite reaching an executive position in operations with a major company, Sara realized that helping others to maximize their career potential was truly her life's work. Today, Sara is happily fulfilling that commitment as a speaker, consultant, coach, author, and owner of her rapidly growing firm, Sara Canaday & Associates. This venue has given her the opportunity to mentor and support thousands of people in diverse situations, inspiring many of them to move from insight to action with dramatic career results. Sara lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband Brandon, her daughter Taylor, and her son Cole. She proudly follows the same advice she shares with her clients: be honest with yourself, never stop finding ways to improve, and – if all else fails -- head to Starbucks for a Double Mocha Latte with extra whipped cream.

Nissan rolls out new electric crossover, aims to boost image
mp3nobs July 15, 2020
TOKYO -- Nissan unveiled an electric crossover vehicle Wednesday, the Japanese automaker's first major all-new model since getting embroiled in the scandal surrounding its former chairman, Carlos Ghosn.
At its global premiere in Yokohama, Japan, the new vehicle, "Ariya" was billed as "a new chapter for Nissan." The event was held online because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"I can tell you this is a no-compromise car," Nissan Chief Executive Makoto Uchida said, stressing the Ariya symbolizes the company turning a new leaf in its business, culture and products.
"You have to drive it to feel it," said Uchida.
The Ariya is set to go on sale in Japan by the middle of next year, and in Europe, North America and China by the end of 2021.
It will cost about 5 million yen ($46,000) and will be competing against the Tesla Model Y, which now sells for between $43,690 and $53,690 in the U.S., including incentives and other cost-savings of $6,300. In the U.S., the Ariya will qualify for a $7,500 federal tax credit.
The Ariya comes with autonomous driving, so it will park itself and brake on imminent collisions, connect to the net and offer concierge-like services. It also boasts features associated with electric cars, such as quick acceleration and a roomy interior.
The crossover blends the muscle drive of a sport-utility vehicle with the comforts of a regular car and is one category that's selling well even as the pandemic slams auto demand around the world.
Crossover vehicles have accounted for more than 40% of recent U.S. auto sales.
Koji Endo, an auto analyst at SBI Securities, said the big test still lies ahead, because buyers are looking for various features, such as driving performance, resale value and how easy the vehicle will be to recharge.
"But it's clear this is Nissan's chance to patch up its totally devastated brand image," Endo said in a telephone interview.
He believes Tesla fans tend to be so loyal the Ariya won't lure them away, but it might appeal to new buyers.
"Expectations can't be higher for Nissan. If it can't pull this one through, it's in pretty serious trouble," Endo said.
Nissan's profits have tumbled, sinking into a 671.2 billion yen, or $6.2 billion, loss for the fiscal year that ended in March, its first red ink in 11 years.
The Ariya is that one bright spot in recent Nissan news dominated by the dramatic saga of Ghosn's run-in with the law and his escape last year to Lebanon.
Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta called it "a catalyst for change" at Nissan.
More people see charging a car as everyday, like charging a mobile phone, and so range is becoming less of a concern, he told reporters.
The Ariya's driving range on a single charge will be between 430 kilometers (267 miles) and 610 kms (379 miles), depending on the type of battery and whether the model has a two-wheel or four-wheel drive.
Going electric is becoming increasingly attractive as people become increasingly worried about global warming, the environment and sustainability. Electric cars can get subsidies from various governments, including China and the U.S., the two biggest markets, as well as European nations like Norway.
Uncertainty remains over how Nissan will fare without Ghosn, who spear-headed its move into electric cars while leading the automaker for nearly two decades.
Ghosn was arrested in Tokyo in late 2018 and charged with under-reporting future compensation and breach of trust. Ghosn says he is innocent, arguing the charges were concocted to drive him out of Nissan leadership. Japanese authorities are now trying to get the U.S. to extradite two Americans suspected of helping him escape while he was out on bail.

Q: Node js url is working only on private window in React application I have an application built with reactjs with node js backend by using Create React App library.
in Nodejs-server.js I have the following code structure.

import express from 'express';
import path from 'path';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import cors from 'cors';
import visitors from './routes/visitors';
import { cronNotification } from './cron/cron.js';

let app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.json({ limit: '15mb' }))
app.use(cors())

app.use('/api/visitors', visitors)
app.use('/docs/visitorTickets', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../docs/visitorTickets')));
app.use('/images', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../assets/images')));

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../../build')));
app.get('/*', function (req, res, next) {
 res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '../../build', 'index.html'));
});

app.use((req, res) => {
 res.status(404).json({
  errors: {
   global: "Page Not Found."
  }
 })
});

let port  = 8080
app.listen(port, () => console.log('Running on port:'+port));
cronNotification();

In Visitor file I have following code

import express from 'express';
import QRCode from 'qrcode';
import pdf from 'html-pdf';

let router = express.Router();

router.get('/test', (req, res) => {
 res.json({ success: "test success page." })
});

router.get('/pdf', (req, res) => {
 let html = '
test value
';
 pdf.create(html).toStream((err, pdfStream) => {
    if (err) {
      return res.sendStatus(500)
    } else {
      res.statusCode = 200
      pdfStream.on('end', () => {
        return res.end()
      })
      pdfStream.pipe(res)
    }
  });
});

export default router;

This code working perfect with front end react app by using http://localhost:3000/test.
It gets the result via API from axios library from react action page.
In developr tool network -> result shows: success: "test success page."
Now the issues is:
When I access
http://localhost:8080/api/visitors/pdf OR
http://localhost:8080/api/visitors/test
Directly in browser, It shows blank page (directly frot end source is appearing from console)
While access it from private window, It shows the result.
It tried it with diffrent browsers and diffrent computers but issue remain the same.
I am suspecting something wrong in this code

app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../../build')));
app.get('/*', function (req, res, next) {
 res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '../../build', 'index.html'));
});

It is neglecting app.use path (app.use('/api/visitors', visitors))

Kindly help me out why this is working only in private browser?

A: After a long battle, I have fixed that issue by unregister react's registerServiceWorker

import { unregister } from './registerServiceWorker';
unregister();

A: So, why you need to res.sendFile to send an html page ? Let try to use ejs or jade view engine and then :
app.get('/*', function (req, res) {
    return res.render('../path_to_ejs_view_file');
});
Or in your case maybe call next() function can solve problem:
app.get('/*', function (req, res, next) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, '../../build', 'index.html'));
next();
});

By the way, I have an project like you. Use Nodejs for api and Reacjs for SPA here: https://github.com/dangminhtruong/havana hope it useful

Indian-origin man in FBI '10 Most Wanted' list carries $100k reward
The FBI's notice says that the accused "should be considered armed and extremely dangerous".
Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel,
New York, Nov 28 : The US' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is reminding the public of a $100,000-reward offer for information leading to the capture of Indian-origin Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel, who has been listed by the agency as one of the "10 Most Wanted" since 2017.
Patel has been on the run since 2015 when he allegedly killed his wife, Palak, with a knife inside a Dunkin Donuts coffee shop in Hanover, Maryland state.
He has been charged with murder.
Although he was put on the list in 2017 with the $100,000 reward for information leading to his capture he has not been caught and on Friday the FBI tweeted information about him and the reward to draw attention to the case and the reward offer.
The FBI is asking anyone who knows where he is to contact the agency or the nearest US consulate or embassy.
Patel, who was 24 at that time, allegedly hit his 21-year-old wife in the face with a kitchen knife and stabbed her several times in the backroom of the shop where they both worked while customers were still there, according to officials quoted by WTOP radio.
He was last known to have taken a taxi from a hotel in New Jersey to a train station in Newark in the state.
Tim Altomare, who was the police chief of Anne Arundel County at that time, told the radio: "The violence in this case was stark. It was heart-wrenching and it was a shock to our collective conscience on the police department."
WTOP reported that investigators think that Patel was still in the US in 2017 when he was put on the FBI list and according to Altomare investigators believe that someone was knowingly helping Patel or was interacting with him without knowing about his alleged crime.
The radio reported that according to Gordon Johnson, who was the special agent in charge of the FBI's Baltimore field office in 2017, Patel was put on the list because of the brutality of the crime and the likelihood that someone outside the US knows where he was.
The couple's visas expired about a month before the killing and investigators believe that Palak Patel wanted to return to India, but her husband opposed it, WTOP reported.
According to the FBI he was born in Kantrodi Ta Viramgam in Gujarat.
