For many starting a new business venture is daunting. You build your start-up's infrastructure piece by piece as you need it. Obstacles such as capital investment sometimes are a necessary evil. When it has come to ICT systems as are required, the capital investment in them is painful when you're operating on a shoe-string.
Right now, times are challenging. Sure, it's times like these they say that "it's never cheaper to start a business." Yeah, tell that to the bank statements you're keeping an eye on vigilantly while you're learning to walk, and where everything seems to be 'outgoing' with nothing incoming.
You've heard the countless ads on radio about "cloud computing" saving you money. You're sceptical because you know that what sounds too good to be true, most often than not usually is. Also, you're not a 'techie person'. You don't have time to be trying to get to grips with processors, RAM, CPU cycles, storage systems. Nor are you abound with resources to take on someone who is. You just want something 'that works'.

Multiple Militia Members Arrested in Oregon Standoff, Charged with Domestic Terrorism
According to a report from United Media Publishing multiple Militia members have been arrested in the Oregon Standoff.
Video Below: Greg Walden addresses U.S. House on situation in Harney County, OR, federal overreach in the West
by Kenneth Curtis
Burns, OR–The standoff in Oregon reached new heights this afternoon as armed federal agents began arresting militia members leaving the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters.
In total, 11 protesters taking part in the standoff are reportedly in custody and being held without bail on domestic terrorism charges, resisting arrest, creating a public nuisance, and trespassing. County and city officials in the area have not yet released a statement on the arrests or the names of those arrested. Early reports indicate that protesters were verbally and physically abused prior to being arrested. Communications have been difficult and local media outlets are scrambling for more details.
Federal agent Dan Stevens, a 14-year veteran of the force, spoke with UMP by phone and had this to say: "Under direct orders from the FBI and the DOJ, on behalf of the BLM, we have infiltrated the cabin with armed undercover agents. The agents are collecting intel and coordinating that information with drones that are also overseeing the disturbance."
"In addition," Stevens continued, "we have positively identified approximately 90% of the militants and are running background checks for previous violations, warrants, etc. License plate numbers of agitators are being collected and entered into the national database as well. Our agents are following members leaving the compound and arresting them offsite as to not create a disturbance that could result in bloodshed. These right-wing extremists pose a serious threat to the safety of the operation and we have orders to make arrests and confiscate firearms."

The advent of Space Station Freedom (SSF) will provide a permanent laboratory in space with unparalleled opportunities to perform basic and applied scientific, technological, and commercial research. SSF will have substantially more pressurized volume, greater utilities such as power, cooling and data management, and more prolonged exposure to the space environment than any previous or existing space platform. SSF will accommodate payload hardware both within pressurized laboratory modules and on external structures. Utilization of payload accommodations will begin early in the deployment of SSF elements and will be enhanced by a regular series of Utilization Flights. To ensure that a high quality microgravity environment for payload operations is available, a Vibroacoustic Control Plan has been implemented. To further enhance research capabilities, the SSF Program has recently implemented the EXPRESS Payload Project which is designed to Expedite the Processing of Experiments to Space Station. The SSF Program has also begun formal Payload Integration Agreement development for the Centrifuge Facility and the Space Station Furnace Facility, two of the premier facility class research projects.

Q: Dealing with redirect uri's when building native apps with javascript I have a question. I know facebook accommodates for it, but if I am creating an app using javascript and want to use an api, whats the best way to deal with the redirect_uri?
I thought of using an iframe, passing the data back into the parent and then closing the iframe but I'm having problems with that. Obviously the whole cross domain is a thing that'll probably render this useless but even before that when I run it as a normal site (with the iframe on the same domain) I get this odd occurance when using the instagram api. (I'm presuming its generic)

*

*if I'm logged in to instagram online it runs and gets the data but doesn't seem to send the data to the parent

*if I'm not logged in it won't do anything, the php redirect to the instagram login page doesn't go there at all.
I'm far more interested in a possible solution without using iframes though.
Thoughts?

Step 1: To make the caramel filling: Melt the sugar and salt over medium high heat in a large pot. Whisk the sugar as it melts and cook until it becomes a deep amber color.
Step 2: Add the butter and stir it in until melted.
Step 3: Carefully, pour in the heavy cream (it will sputter and foam, so step back a bit), whisk until you get a smooth sauce. You may have some lumps but keep stirring until they have melted. Remove from heat and let cool. You should have close to 2 cups. You will need 1 cup of caramel for your batter. Use the remaining caramel to make your buttercream frosting.
Step 4: To make the cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line at least 12 muffin tins with papers.
Step 5: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla until lightly combined.
Step 6: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix on low speed using the flat beater for 30 seconds.
Step 7: Add the butter and 1 cup of the cooled caramel. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened. Raise the speed to medium and beat for 1-1/2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 8: Starting on low speed, gradually add the egg mixture in two parts, beating on medium speed for 30 seconds after each addition to incorporate the ingredients and strengthen the structure.
Step 9: Divide the batter evenly among lined cups, filling each about halfway full. Bake for about 20- 25 minutes (the tops should spring back from a gentle touch.) When done, transfer tins to wire racks to cool 10 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely.
Step 10: Pipe salted caramel buttercream frosting on cupcakes.

Q: CSS positioning for jquery plugin element The layout in question is here: http://www.davedaranjo.com/media.html
This is probably an issue in standard positioning with css, but I've tried every positioning combination I can think of to achieve this:
http://i.imgur.com/y1qRU.jpg
Every time I try to move the player anywhere on the page, it positions itself at the bottom, even below the footer image. I've even tried putting the content in a table with the links and video in the left td and the player in the right, but the player won't even sit in the table. I've also tried a number of positioning tags in the css file and at best, it will move if I give it a fixed position, but because the rest of the layout isn't fixed (and isn't on the rest of the site), that's not a viable solution.
I realize this is probably something fundamental that I'm missing here, but any suggestions would be extremely helpful. There's a lot of positioning in the css from the plugins download files and I can't seem to decipher them all.
Thank you!

A: you have to put your javascript at the place you want it in the page.
I think you can position it like this.

This puts the text and images you want to the left in a box and the player in another box.
You now have to position the boxes to floating boxes so they can be next to eachother in css:
#left {
    float: left;
}

#right {
    float: right;
}

That should do it!

A: I checked your source code and you still use the align HTML attribute. That attribute is deprecated. It does not work in HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 and it won't work in HTML 5 either.
Instead use CSS rules to do your alignment. Use text-align, padding, margin, float, clear and positioning rules to get your HTML elements to appear where you want them to on the page.

It's one day closer to the weekend - yipee! It's also the start of a new monthly challenge over at Whimsie Doodles and the theme this month is 'Love is in the air'. Obviously I just had to make a valentine's card!! For my DT card today I used Cloud 9. This cute little guy is the face of WD Angel Policy information, but he is always hiding in the bottom corner of the blog. He was crying out to me for some attention so today he has centre stage!
I love the falling hearts stencil by Simon Says so I just had to use it as my background. This time I embossed onto light blue vellum and then mounted onto AC cardstock. The clouds were cut from plain vellum and white card using memory box puffy clouds dies. The speech bubble is a die from Simon says stamp. The sentiments are from a very versatile set from Clearly Besotted Stamps - soo many useful everyday sentiments, I love it.
Remember to pop over to the Whimsie Doodles Blog to check out the fabulous makes by the DT team and to enter your 'Love' makes into the challenge. There are digi's to be won and a chance to be a guest designer for a month.
Thanks for looking and hope to see you again soon.

Many OnePlus One owners still love their phone and have no need to upgrade outside of having a relatively current version of Android for security and stability. OnePlus has released a handful of new models since the original One release, and updates, although pretty delayed, were still coming to get the official shipping OS up to snuff. Sure, OnePlus and Cyanogen parted ways in 2015 and OnePlus developed OxygenOS as the mainstay OS for all their US phones.
This uneasy but stable situation all changed when Cyanogen announced they were shutting=down in December 2016. I snagged the last build and posted it for download on this post.
You need to know what you are doing with adb, flashing recovery, etc. If you work this and don't know what you are doing, you will kill your phone.
Android Pay and other services that rely on SafetyNet will not work on the unsigned build.
You'll get Android 7.1.1 and it is actually quite stable, but it still is a nightly build.


First off, make sure you have a new entity defined. Call it Project, and make sure Connections is checked on the entity definition.
Also check the Project entity along with the Contact.
Save and Publish your solution.
Observe that the new Connection Roles we have created are now available to be selected.
Now, when you go back to your project, in the newly added grid you can see the Contacts we have associated to the Project, along with the defined Roles.
Simple to customize, no-code solution. Visual impact to users who now can quickly see all stakeholders related to a particular Project.


NEW DELHI (AFP) - Two Indian athletes could be forced to pull out of next month's Sochi Olympics because promised state funds for kit and equipment have not been released, India's Winter Games chief said on Tuesday.
Winter Games Federation of India (WGFI) president Surendra Singh Patwal said time was running out for two of India's three competitors who each need about US$7,500 (S$9,500) to take part in the Olympics.
"We are still awaiting funds from the government because we do not have money to buy expensive clothing and equipment," he told AFP.
"Each equipment has to meet Olympic specifications. We do not get them in India, they have to come from abroad. Unless the funds come, we can't even place orders for clothing and equipment.
"Besides, our athletes need time to train with the new equipment and there is hardly any time left. We were due to be in Sochi by Feb 4," he added, with the Games running from Feb 7 to 23.
"We do not get sponsors. So unless the government gives us funds, we may have to withdraw at least two of the three qualifiers."
Funding is the latest blow for the athletes who were earlier this month deprived of competing under the national flag in Sochi.
WGFI secretary Roshan Lal Thakur told AFP that luger Shiva Keshavan, preparing for his fifth Winter Olympics, was safe since he has raised money through sponsors for his equipment.
But the fate of the two other qualifiers, alpine skier Himanshu Thakur and cross-country skier Nadeem Iqbal, rested on getting the money in time.
"We have been told the matter is being processed," said Thakur. "I just hope they do it fast."
Sports ministry officials were not immediately available for comment.
Last week, the athletes lost all hope of competing under the flag in Sochi after the suspended Indian Olympic Association (IOA) insisted on holding elections only two days after the Games open.
The IOA last month bowed to pressure from the International Olympic Committee to keep tainted officials out of key posts - the reason India's membership was frozen in December 2012.
But IOA officials rejected a request from the sports ministry to hold fresh elections earlier, possibly at the end of January, so that the athletes could compete under the national flag.
The IOC has allowed Indian qualifiers to participate at Sochi as "independent athletes under the Olympic flag".


Lung cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. This growth may lead to metastasis, which is the invasion of adjacent tissue and infiltration beyond the lungs. The vast majority of primary lung cancers are carcinomas of the lung, derived from epithelial cells. Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and the second most common in women (after breast cancer), is responsible for 1.3 million deaths worldwide annually. The most common symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing (including coughing up blood), and weight loss.
The main types of lung cancer are small cell lung carcinoma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. This distinction is important, because the treatment varies; non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is sometimes treated with surgery, while small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) usually responds better to chemotherapy and radiation. The most common cause of lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke. The occurrence of lung cancer in nonsmokers, who account for as many as 15% of cases , is often attributed to a combination of genetic factors, radon gas, asbestos, and air pollution, including secondhand smoke.


Trying to Score 90+ on PageSpeed is a process that consumes a lot of developer patience and energy.
Plenty of theories exist on the internet on how to do this but the effectiveness and longevity of many are questionable.
At Leader Internet, we invest heavily in researching and testing future proof Web Performance techniques because our research has shown that PageSpeed Matters for user experience, search rankings and ultimately revenue. This puts us in a good place to offer actionable advice that works.
This guide will explain the most important problems to solve that will allow your site to score 90+ on PageSpeed. You will acquire all the benefits that come with it, without jeopardizing the long term health of your domain.
The first and easiest win you will have when trying to Score 90 or above on PageSpeed is compressing the images on the site.
Graphics contain a huge amount of unused data that is not needed to render a reasonable quality version of the image. Using a service like Kraken.io strips out all of this wasted information without any loss of quality or sharpness. They have a free Web Interface where you simply drag and drop your images and then download the compressed version underneath.
The Web Interface will solve your current image problems but websites are constantly receiving new content so you should automate the process of compressing images that are added in the future without having to manually upload them to Kraken. There are a variety of Kraken plugins for the major CMS's and if your platform is not listed, integrating with their API is simple. It has excellent documentation, lots of code snippets for every language and works perfectly.
If you focus on one thing, make that image compression.
Second on the list is GZIP compression.
This instructs your server to compress assets as they leave so the data in transit is smaller and the browser on the other end can download them quicker. The best thing about GZIP is that is simple to turn on and requires no code changes on the site.
Once this is done you should set further configuration options to make sure that the correct resources are compressed and an appropriate level is used to avoid problems. You also need to prevent the compression of anything that has already been compressed and unlikely to benefit from further processing.
We have a detailed guide on Enabling Compression with Laravel Forge that explains all of these considerations so you can follow that if your server is Nginx and take another step towards a 90+ Score On PageSpeed.
Users with Apache servers will not be able to lift these exact code snippets but the same principles apply.
A further change can be made on the server level to Score 90 With PageSpeed by Leveraging Browser Caching.
This is where your server tells browsers to cache certain files on the client side for a specified duration.
For example, there is no point in browsers downloading a fresh version of the CSS every time they load a new page as most sites only update their CSS monthly at most.
Instead, if the browser caches the CSS for one week, it reduces the data that is downloaded from your server and the amount consumed by their browser. After 7 days the browser will see that its version of CSS has expired so it will fetch a new copy during the next request. If you have pushed updated CSS in the meantime, the user will receive it and if not, the previous version will be downloaded again.
This is also important if your traffic is mobile as you don't want to consume needless chunks of the user's monthly data limit.
If this process is new to you, we recommend you follow our step by step guide on how to Leverage Browser Caching at the server level.
Therefore, we purposely left this technique until the end because it requires code changes and planning to execute cleanly.
None the less, these techniques are just patches to an old problem that HTTP requests are time and resource intensive. The solution, therefore, is to reduce the number of requests a browser needs to make to fetch and render a webpage.
Usually, Scoring 90+ in PageSpeed is a feat that only skilled performance aware developers can achieve but with this guide, you have the tools, code snippets and step by step instructions to do it yourself.
Try it for yourself and let us know in the comments below if your site Scores 90+ on PageSpeed.

Back in 2010 InformationWeek conducted a survey which revealed that 44% of business IT professionals had never heard of NoSQL, the database technology powering social games like FarmVille and Draw Something. Since then NoSQL has steadily gained traction, and today it's a frequent topic of conversation in technology circles. Last May 10gen, NoSQL pioneer and developer of MongoDB secured $42M in series E funding. In June Cloudant launched a NoSQL data layer service for Windows Azure, and Amazon contributed a NoSQL data service called DynamoDB to the mix. All this activity has database laymen everywhere wondering—what is NoSQL?
Put simply, NoSQL (also known as "not only SQL") is a broad term used to describe any database that varies from the relational database model—the traditional approach to database management where data items are stored in tables. The tabular nature of relational databases favors predictable, structured data elements. What many businesses have learned in recent years—particularly those that operate cloud-based, mobile, or social products—is that the data being created in these environments is unstructured and requires a more dynamic approach to database management than what the relational model can reliably handle.
This is where NoSQL comes in. Let's say you've created a social game with Facebook integration and mobile capability. You start out with a modest base of 1,000 users, but the application goes viral and before you know it you have hundreds of thousands—even millions—of users accessing your game, generating massive quantities of data in the cloud, from a variety of sources. And it all happened insanely quickly.
If you're running your operation on a relational database your primary concerns are performance issues, outages, and the inability to scale the system fast enough to keep up with booming growth. It's a critical time for your company, because this viral event needs to maintain momentum to put you on the map.
NoSQL is designed to address these exact issues, and in fact the scenario described above is one that NoSQL player Couchbase successfully helped its client OMGPOP navigate after the release of Draw Something in March 2012. Within five weeks of launching, Draw Something had been downloaded 20 million times, and by the 50-day mark had reached 50 million downloads. During this rapid expansion Couchbase provided the foundation for managing the incoming data, offering scalability and performance 24/7.
If you do some digging you'll find that almost every Internet company that has significant data storage requirements is employing NoSQL in some capacity. But this is not to say that NoSQL is trying to replace relational databases. It's just that the current trends in technology today—big data, big users, and cloud computing—are better addressed by NoSQL.
MongoDB: Document-oriented database system developed by 10gen. Used by Craigslist, Foursquare, and MTV Networks, among others.
CouchDB: Open source database. Data is stored in individual documents rather than tables. Designed to be easy to use, and geared toward the Web. Its founder now works with NoSQL company Couchbase.
Apache Cassandra: Open source distributed database management system, initially created by Facebook to power the company's Inbox Search feature. Currently being used by Netflix, Twitter, Reddit, Constant Contact, and others.
DynamoDB: A managed NoSQL service provided by Amazon.com and released in early 2012.
Riak: NoSQL database developed by Basho Technologies, currently in use by Comcast, Mozilla, AOL, Yammer, Ask.com, and others.
Neo4j: An open source graph database developed by Neo Technology, initially released in 2007 and offered in both community and commercial editions.
If you'd like to explore the world of NoSQL more deeply, a good place to start is at NoSLQ-database.org. The site has a comprehensive list of NoSQL databases, a calendar of NoSQL events, forums, NoSQL news, and plenty more for the NoSQL enthusiast.

A stream of personal wealth is defining, and dividing, the Democratic race for Kennedy seat
By Matt Stout Globe Staff,Updated August 15, 2020, 5:44 p.m.
Clockwise, from left: Becky Grossman, Jake Auchincloss, Alan Khazei, Dave Cavell, Ihssane Leckey, Christopher Zannetos, Natalia Linos, Ben Sigel, and Jesse Mermell.Pat Greenhouse
It's a pitch in one form or another that most of the Democrats vying for the Fourth Congressional District nomination have made: Politicians must address the economic inequality dividing the region. People are hungry for better jobs. Money plays too big a role in politics.
But as the race barrels toward the Sept. 1 primary, the personal wealth of many of the candidates and their families is playing an increasingly outsized part in the race, funding a surge of television advertising and the Democrats' newfound exposure to voters.
That wave of money could have a major hand in deciding who ultimately is the party's nominee to succeed Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III — even as it underlines the economic differences between the candidates, the wealthy Boston suburbs from which they hail, and voters in the southern blue-collar communities they're trying to woo.
"It's a really interesting dichotomy," said Peter Ubertaccio, a political scientist at Stonehill College in Easton, which is wedged in the center of the serpentine district. "These are fairly progressive candidates. They line up well with the progressive side of the Democratic Party by and large.
"On a meta level, it's an issue," he said. "There's such a symbolic divide in this district."
Four candidates have given their campaigns six-figure sums, including Ihssane Leckey, who has committed at least $800,000, and Becky Walker Grossman, who loaned her campaign $430,000. All told, six of the nine on the ballot have reported giving or loaning their campaigns personal funds — collectively, at least $1.75 million so far.
Many can afford to. Five have disclosed a net worth north of $1 million between them and their spouses, wealth that, for one, includes a family home on Martha's Vineyard and another, her husband's seven-figure stake in a family company.
Jake Auchincloss, a Newton city councilor who has distant family ties to the Kennedys, has sunk $150,000 of his own money into his campaign, with the potential to commit $100,000 more, his campaign said. And his parents have committed tens of thousands of dollars to a super PAC that has so far spent more than $420,000 boosting his candidacy.
The wealth of a candidate, and how it factors into a campaign, is not an issue confined to the Fourth District, but part of a long-held trend in national politics, where big self-funding has produced mixed results. But it can resonate more in races dominated by progressive, populist themes of increasing taxes on the rich and tackling the country's widening wealth gap.
The current representative of the Fourth District is himself from one of the most famous, wealthy families in American politics. And the very makeup of the field to succeed Kennedy has accentuated its geographic and economic divide.
All nine candidates on the ballot hail from Brookline, Newton, or Wellesley. Those three wealthy communities anchor the northern reaches of a district that includes Taunton and Fall River, communities to the south where median household incomes are one-third or one-fifth the size of those Boston suburbs.
The candidates have repeatedly sought to make inroads in the district's southern end, touting local endorsements and their intentions to lift up economically depressed and middle-class neighborhoods. But for activists and observers, it has done little to fill the void of actually having a candidate from that area.
"Wouldn't it be great to get somebody out of Fall River running?" mused John Quinn, chairman of the Wrentham Democratic Town Committee, which has met or spoken with all of the candidates but as a group hasn't endorsed one.
"We pressed them on, what could you do to improve on economic development in the parts of the district that have been struggling really since the 1950s and 1960s since factories started to close down?" Quinn said. "Everybody had an answer. But I can't with all honesty say it's part of their elevator pitch."
The campaign, long plodding in the political background, has intensified into a bare-knuckled Democratic fight.
Candidates have ratcheted up their criticisms, with several targeting Auchincloss, a one-time Republican endorsed by the Globe's editorial board. Dave Cavell, a Brookline Democrat, said Thursday that he was suspending his campaign to back another progressive candidate, Jesse Mermell, with the intention of blocking Auchincloss.
Outside groups, too, have begun to swarm the race. The National Association of Realtors reported spending about $8,200 backing Grossman, a Newton city councilor. Women Vote! — a super PAC associated with EMILY'S List, the powerful political group that supports women running for office who back abortion rights — has spent $422,000 on mailers and digital ads attacking Auchincloss and Alan Khazei, a Brookline Democrat and cofounder of City Year, as candidates who "don't stand up for women's reproductive freedom. Both candidates say the charge is unwarranted and false.
Two super PACS, including one with support from unions SEIU and the Massachusetts Teachers Association, have emerged to back Mermell, and another, dubbed Unite to Win, is backing Khazei, though it's yet to report any spending. And then there is the super PAC backing Auchincloss, seeded with at least $37,000 from his father, mother, and stepfather.

Still, the candidates' own money has been a driving factor in propping up their campaigns at a time when the coronavirus has undercut typical political fund-raising.
Christopher Zannetos, a former tech entrepreneur, has reported giving his campaign at least $306,000 to help fund his relatively late entry into the race. Natalia Linos, a social epidemiologist from Brookline who joined the campaign in the spring, has put $35,000 into the race. Cavell, before dropping out, had loaned his campaign nearly $29,000.
Several of the candidates said they've sworn off certain donations, including those from corporate PACs or particular types of lobbyists, a point they've emphasized amid their self-funding. Others — Mermell, a former Brookline selectwoman; Ben Sigel, a Brookline attorney; and Khazei, one of the field's top fund-raisers — haven't reported committing any of their own money.
The influx of personal funds comes as the candidates pitch why they are the best to understand people's economic pain. Leckey, a self-described Democratic socialist, emphasized her back story as a Moroccan immigrant who came to the United States at age 20, mopped floors at restaurants and baby-sat, and put herself through community college. She later attended Boston University and worked as a Wall Street regulator.
"I understand what the working class in our district goes through, because I've been there," said Leckey, who reported at least $1.2 million in assets with her husband, Sean, an energy trader. Her campaign said she has committed more than the $800,000 she has officially disclosed to date, but declined to say how much.
"Yes, I do live in Brookline. Yes, I've been able to afford that in the recent years," she said at a recent forum. "Before that, I could not afford to send my kid to a good school. And that is the suffering of so many people across this district."
Grossman, of Newton, reported at least $3.6 million in assets between her and her husband, Ben, the son of former Democratic National Committee chairman Steven Grossman, and copresident of the family's printing business. She's framed the ability to fund her campaign as evidence of her commitment to the race.
"I believe so strongly in this fight that I'm putting my money where my mouth is," she said in a statement.
Zannetos, who's reported at least $4 million in assets, said he's been "very fortunate to not have to jump over so many hurdles that other people have had to." But he pointed to a nonprofit he launched that connects tech companies and students interested in STEM, saying it's helped him "learn of the obstacles" others face.
"I recognize that if you look at the race and you see all of the candidates coming from the wealthy suburbs of Boston, that is a reality, that can be a theme," the Democrat from Wellesley said. "I'm trying to focus on how we get more jobs to people, better jobs to people."
Auchincloss has disclosed at least $1.9 million in assets between him and his wife, Michelle, and owns a family home in Chilmark. But it's his relatives' contributions to the super PAC that have helped push his family's wealth and connections into focus.
He's a distant stepcousin to Caroline Kennedy and the late John F. Kennedy Jr.; Hugh D. Auchincloss, his grandfather's first cousin once removed, was the stepfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Alice del lago is in front of a private lake which was a quarry for extraction of clay in the Montalbano area.
It is in a good position you easily achieve from the highway exit of Pistoia (it is 4 kms far from the gate of Pistoia).
Lucca (20 kms far), Firenze (30 km far) and other interesting Tuscan cities such as Vinci (14 km far), Montecatini Terme (10 km far) and Pescia are easily achievable in a short time.
600 meters far form the country house there is a sport area with a tennis court, a basketball field, a football pitch.
Five kilometres far from Alice del Lago there is a riding school and far from 10 kilometres a golf course.

Q: Excel date format changes with different regional settings (2020-08-01 to 2020.08.01) I searched most of the posts, but there is no solution to my problem.
This is what I tried using Excel 365 with English Windows Machine:

And this is what I get when I open the file with Excel 365 on a German Windows Machine:

I thought removing the * from a formatting forces that format, no matter which region you open it in?
As you can see I tried other things too, but none works.
Any idea?

A: You can use Custom formatting to format the date however you like.

*

*Select the data you want to format

*Go to Home ➡ Number ➡ More Number Formats...:

*Go to the Custom category and type in the desired format in the Type: field:

If I for example type dd-mm-yyyy I get to see 01-08-2020. Other examples are shown below:

I believe the custom format survives locale formatting, but I don't have a machine with a different locale to test and am to lazy to switch on this machine.

A: The only way I found now is to format that specific cells as text and then reenter the dates eg 2020-08-01. This works so far, but you need to work with =TEXT(,) formula with the right formatting eg =TEXT(, "yyyy-mm-dd"), when you want to refer to that cell.

Hackers Destroy Fur Affinity Art Gallery Website
Hackers target Fur Affinity art gallery website delete everything — Thanks to the backup the site is up and running once again!
A well-known and widely followed online hub of furries community called Fur Affinity disappeared from the web. The furries community is a group of people having a keen interest in anthropomorphic animal characters like foxes and wolves. The hackers wiped off all sorts of content including art submissions and user profiles from Fur Affinity website, which actually is an online gallery that allows users to upload music, art, and written content.
It is quite possible that they also stole email addresses and hashed passwords. The website's self-proclaimed Director of Operations, who uses the nickname Chase, stated in an announcement on the site's discussion forum that "the attackers access to personal user data, such as encrypted passwords and email addresses."
This announcement was made on Friday while by Saturday morning, a user having the profile name Fender clarified that the passwords have already been reset. Fender also revealed that the site has been facing issues since early on in May as researchers identified some technical flaws and vulnerabilities in the ImageMagick library. Attackers were able to exploit this weakness and run arbitrary code to hack the website by downloading the site's source code prior to patching of the website by the admins.
If you are having trouble or are unable to use the Password Recovery Tool please email accounts@furaffinity.net.
— Fur Affinity BLM 🏳⚧ (@furaffinity) May 22, 2016
According to MotherBoard, after exactly a week, the site's administrator, who uses the name Dragoneer, heard that users at an anonymous convention were selling the site's source code on USB sticks and the same day their site was hacked again. In this next phase of attacks, the site's content was deleted by the attackers. However, the site's security team prevented key data like notes and journals from being deleted.
Dragoneer explained on the site's forum last week that the team was busy investigating the selling of their website's source code "somebody launched a second attack against the site using information gleaned from the source code."
"At this time, we do not know who executed the attacks on this site. An analysis of the attack vector used suggests these individual(s) were experienced attackers and not casual bystanders," states Fender.
Using a backup, the team was able to restore Fur Affinity on 11th may and therefore, the damage isn't too much.
Here is a series of tweets from Fur Affinity official Twitter handle about the breach:
We have received thousands of emails requesting help with accounts and staff are actively responding. We will assist you as soon as we can.
Even if you already reset your password /everyone/ will be forced to reset once site is out of read only mode.
If you changed your password since the site went live on the 18th that information is safe.

Anna Pla Quintana (Banyoles, 1978) studied Chemistry at the University of Girona (1996 – 2000) and she carried out her PhD studies in the Department of Chemistry at the same university under the supervision of Dr. Anna Roglans. During her doctoral studies, she performed a three-month research-stay at the Queen's University of Kingston (Canada) under the supervision of Prof. Victor Snieckus.
In October 2005 Anna joined the group of Prof. Jean-Pierre Majoral at the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (Toulouse, France) as a postdoctoral researcher within the Fundación Ramon Areces Fellowship program. In October 2007 she returned to the University of Girona in the group of Prof. Anna Roglans as a lecturer and got a permanent position in 2009.
Anna currently leads a research team at IQCC working on the development of transition-metal catalyzed cycloaddition and cyclization reactions, with a special emphasis on the mechanistic studies with the developed procedures.
The construction and synthesis of molecular architectures with a high level of complexity and high added value starting from simple products is an important challenge in organic chemistry. Transition-metal catalyzed cyclizations are highly efficient and atom-economical processes that make it possible to access a wide range of carbo- and heterocyclic compounds. Our contribution to this field is based on the study of rhodium-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloadditions with special emphasis on involving unsaturations, which permit the enantioselective generation of cycloadducts with asymmetric quaternary carbons. Furthermore, we are exploring the use of this methodology for the functionalization of molecular materials for biological, optical and electronic devices. Our aim is also to improve these catalytic processes through a synergy of experimental work and theoretical calculations taking advantage of our membership of the IQCC and our collaboration with Prof. Miquel Solà. We also undertake experimental mechanistic studies intercepting reactive intermediates by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS).
The use of alkenes and allenes as highly versatile substrates in cyclizations to create chiral polycyclic compounds
The involvement of alkenes and allenes in transition-metal calalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions has the advantage of allowing for the eventual introduction of stereogenic centres in the newly formed six-membered ring and of affording complex polycyclic scaffolds. Our work is focused on the use of properly substituted alkenes, which are more reluctant to react than alkynes, that allow the synthesis of chiral cyclohexadienes and their further functionalization by Diels-Alder reaction. We are also investigating the use of allenes, unsaturated substrates that are more reactive than alkenes and that deliver cycloadducts with an exocyclic double bond that can subsequently be manipulated. One of the main aims in our research is to control the chemoselectivity and regioselectivity of these processes by determining the factors that govern them both experimentally and theoretically.
The functionalisation of fullerenes by cycloaddition reactions to provide a variety of potential molecular materials for biological, optical and electronic devices
Fullerenes are a class of molecule made up of carbon atoms with an unusual hybridization (sp2,3) exhibiting a chemical reactivity similar to that of electron-deficient olefins. [60]Fullerene, in particular, has received considerable attention due to its interesting spherical structures and unique physical and chemical properties. The functionalization of [60]fullerene with different functional groups provides a variety of potential molecular materials for biological, optical, and electronic devices. Our work is focused on exploring the versatility of rhodium complexes in the cycloaddition of pi-unsaturations to C60 as a tool to functionalize these molecules in a straightforward manner.
Mechanistic studies of transition-metal catalyzed reactions through electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)
In order to effectively control and improve the catalytic reactions, it is necessary to understand the mechanistic details of the process. One of the difficulties faced in these investigations is that the low concentrations and transient nature of most of the intermediates involved make their identification difficult. Therefore, techniques that allow the direct monitoring of these reactive intermediates are of great interest. One of our research lines is to use electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and subsequent MS/MS analysis to obtain detailed data by trapping and identifying short-lived intermediates in transition-metal catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions. In addition to observing the molecular mass of ions for many reactive intermediates, this technique reveals structural information through characteristic fragmentation patterns by collision-induced dissociation. All these data help us to more fully understand the course of cycloadditions and allow us to improve these reactions.
Methodological studies of cyclizations through rhodium carbenoid intermediates generated from tosylhydrazones
The vast majority of syntheses rely on step-by-step transformations. This is an inefficient, time-consuming strategy that would be greatly improved by the implementation of effective cascade processes. Of the many intermediates that can initiate or participate in cascade processes, metal-carbenoids are an excellent option due to their versatility and high reactivity. Rhodium(II) dimers have emerged as the most versatile class of complexes for single-step carbenoid mediated reactions. The transition-metal carbenoids that are required for these reactions are mostly prepared from nitrogen extrusion of diazo compounds that have non-negligible security and toxicity risks. Furthermore, the methodology is limited just to carbenoids with certain electronic properties. This research line is aimed at preparing rhodium carbenoids making use of rhodium(I) complexes to decompose arylsulfonylhydrazones, a carbenoid source that is much safer and easier to handle and which is amenable to all types of carbenoids. Rhodium(I) complexes with atropoisomeric ligands are chosen to exploit their versatility and stereoselectivity in cycloaddition reactions, nucleophilic substitutions and rearrangements. This combination is selected to trigger cascade reactions that allow the straightforward enantioselective synthesis of (poly)cyclic compounds from readily available linear starting materials.

Dirty clouds change rainfall
Scientists find a link between air pollution and extremes in rainfall
What goes up into the air can have a big impact on what comes down.
In a new study showing how large weather systems are closely linked, scientists report that tiny airborne particles affect how much rain falls over a region. Some of these particles, called aerosols, occur naturally and include dirt and dust. Other aerosols come from human activities and represent air pollution. Once these particles get swept up into a cloud, they start to make changes.
The scientists found a link between large amounts of aerosols and extreme weather: The clouds in dry regions may hold their water longer, contributing to droughts. Clouds drifting over moist areas may lose their water more quickly, leading to severe rains. Both situations may pose severe problems for farmers.
"Haze, storms, drought and flood: We found very strong evidence that they are well connected," Zhanqing Li, an atmospheric scientist, told an audience of scientists at a recent meeting in Washington, D.C. Li, from the University of Maryland in College Park, worked on the new study connecting the dots between pollution and rainfall.
The scientists wanted to know how aerosols in the air affect cloud development over many years. To find out, they studied 10 years' worth of data from the clouds that soared over measuring devices in central Oklahoma. They learned that rainfall depended on the amount of aerosols in the clouds, as well as the type of cloud and amount of moisture.
If you're near a window, look up at a cloud and really look at it. If you look up again in a few minutes, you'll see that the cloud has changed shape and probably moved. Clouds contain cloud droplets, tiny quantities of water too small to overcome the wind and fall to the ground. Clouds also contain water molecules that condense, or concentrate, on aerosols, forming drops of water. When drops get heavy enough, they fall as rain.
But imagine what would happen with too many aerosols: The water molecules would condense, but not enough on any individual aerosol to make it heavy enough to cause rain. That's what Li and his colleagues observed. In low clouds containing tiny droplets of water that aren't heavy enough to fall, too many aerosols kept the moisture from raining out.
The scientists discovered the opposite behavior in tall clouds with liquid water in lower areas and ice higher up. Water molecules were swept up to the top, where they froze. Frozen cloud vapors are especially effective at collecting and condensing. So they easily became too heavy to stay in the air and fell out as heavy rains. In addition, the researchers found that aerosol pollution can cause clouds to grow twice as high as they would in clean air.
The study suggests that aerosols make extreme weather even more extreme.
Climate scientist Daniel Rosenfeld told Science News that an abundance of aerosols in clouds can double the chance of heavy rain. Rosenfeld, who studies the science of clouds and rain at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, also worked on the new study.
Other researchers, like atmospheric scientist Renyi Zhang at Texas A&M University in College Station, say Li's study is an important landmark in understanding the relationships among large weather systems. "This is the first study to clearly establish the link between aerosols, precipitation and climate," Zhang said.

Great Aussie frog census about to begin

Fri, 12 November 2021 12:35AM
Camera IconThe FrogID project makes the most of fact that different frog species have unique calls. Credit: AAP
In a remote cluster of islands, off the tip of East Arnhem Land, Gurrumul's Toadlet is presumed to be croaking away with its unique "squelching" call. The problem is no one's ever recorded it.
But that could change sometime this week when armies of citizen scientists get to work on a census like no other.
Friday marks the start of the fourth annual FrogID Week when nature lovers are encouraged to creep around their yards, local parks, and other green spaces listening for and recording the dulcet tones of Aussie frogs on a special app.
The initiative has been an extraordinary success in its short life, producing a "game changing" data set used by scientists across the nation, says Jodi Rowley, the curator of amphibian and reptile conservation biology at the Australian Museum.
"In four years, we've almost doubled the number of frog records previously in Australia, that were collected over more than 200 years," Dr Rowley says.
"FrogID has helped document range extensions in threatened species, it's helped discover populations of frogs that haven't been seen or heard of, or we didn't know were still around in certain places.
"And because frogs are such great indicators of environmental health, because they are so sensitive ... we're also getting an indication of the health of environments across Australia."
The FrogID project makes the most of fact that different frog species have unique calls.
By collating audio recordings captured with the app they can work out what's living where, and how that's changing over time, without having to bother the frogs.
That's particularly important right now, as Dr Rowley and others try to work out what's behind a mass mortality event that's so far affected 35 frog species across the country.
It's not clear yet what is going on but there's certainly a big problem. On a single day earlier this year, Dr Rowley received 280 emails from concerned people documenting the death of frogs in their areas.
People have dutifully stored them in zip-lock bags in their freezers and Dr Rowley's team are now gathering them for testing.
Early results indicate the amphibian chytrid fungus, which attacks the skin of frogs, is involved, but other factors, such as a new disease, or toxicity from things like fire retardants and mouse might also be involved.
As researchers try to get to the bottom of the mystery Dr Rowley says the die-off event makes this year's push to capture as many frog songs as possible even more important.
"It's like a joke, drought, bushfires, this, the frogs are coping it."
Who knows someone might even bag the very first recording of the long, squelchy call of Gurrumul's Toadlet - a newly discovered frog species named after the late musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu.
It lives in the remote Wessel Islands archipelago, an hour and 20 minutes east of Darwin, by air. It's only been spotted by a scientist once.
"Scientists, at least, don't know what it sounds like. We suspect it has a call similar to some related species," Dr Rowley says.
"But there are people there that might be able to make a significant scientific discovery and help us better understand this poorly known frog."

She then went on to run a childcare center for the YMCA, tutor students at her synagogue in tefillot (prayers, usually sung) and trope (the Torah's musical notation system), and student-taught 9th, 11th, and 12th grade English during her California State Teacher Credential Program. Finally, for the past seven years, Lindsay has been teaching high-quality, developmentally appropriate music classes to children and their families throughout the Bay Area. She looks forward to meeting YOU and your little one soon!
Testimonials
"I want to let you know how much Roxy and Grandma Carolyn are enjoying and benefiting from Kindermusik. I can see Roxy developing in many exciting ways. She LOVES the CD and the book. In fact, she demands to read The Rhythm of My Day about 15 times a day. She sways, twirls, bounces, and claps regularly to music, and a new development is that she sings notes and waits for us to mimic her, instead of us singing first and her matching our pitch. She's taking the lead! I worked on minor thirds with her last week and will dance with her to syncopated rhythms this week. This has also been a bonding experience for Roxy and Grandma. Thanks for the class and the emails!" - Village parent (Walnut Creek)
"Miss Lindsay is truly wonderful!! She loves each and every child/baby and delights in seeing them interact with music." - Village parent
"Miss Lindsay was the best part of the class! She engages the children and makes it so fun for the kids and parents." - Our Time parent
"Miss Lindsay is more than a music teacher...She is an important part of the lives of the children she teaches. She brings such a passion to teaching - the kids feel it and light up around her." - Imagine That! parent (San Ramon)
"Miss Lindsay sounds like a Disney Princess!" - Young Child parent (Martinez)

Children In the Library
The Library is a public place open to the community for the purposes of research, study, communication, and leisure-time reading. Parents and caregivers of children should be aware that although the staff will do their best to protect children, the library is not necessarily a safe place for young children to be left unattended.
Restricting Material
The Library staff will suggest age or reading level appropriate material if asked. The staff will not, however, restrict a child's reading. Therefore parental guidance is vital.
Disruptive Children
Children who come to the Library on their own and are disruptive will be asked to leave. Disruptive children who are accompanied by parents or caregivers will be escorted to these persons who will be asked to monitor their child's behavior. Children who are dropped off at the Library, left unattended, and are disruptive will be permitted to use the Library phone to call to be picked up. If no one they know is available to pick them up, the police will take custody of them and make arrangements for them.
Library staff will not take children home nor will staff wait for any length of time with a child for a ride to come at closing time. Staff will wait only long enough for the police to take custody of any children still at the Library at closing time.

Gluten Free Glorious Bread Recipe! It is so yummy!
We have dropped bread for several years and I get a real craving, not to mention a challenge for Friday evenings! Generally, we make the GAPS flat bread with zucchini, egg, and peanut butter. This is a tasty bread, but for our special Friday evening meal it does not "feel" like bread.
A year and a half ago, I bought a long-awaited bread maker. [easyazon_link asin="B0067MQM48" locale="US" new_window="default" nofollow="default" tag="fostering-20" add_to_cart="default" cloaking="default" localization="default" popups="default"]Zojirushi Bread maker[/easyazon_link] Then my son's eczema returned! I was so bummed that the box and the bread maker that I have wanted for quite a while, went up into the closet!
One day, I just happened to look at the box. It was so missed that I decided to make some bread for the rest of us. When I opened the box and looked at the manual, there was a whole two pages filled with variations on a basic gluten free bread recipe. Imagine my joy! I made the bread with very little expectation. Thinking it would be the usual dense but tasty bread.
To my surprise, this gluten free bread recipe is amazing! It is fluffy, light, delicious, and pretty. All the components we desire for Friday night.
Put the ingredients in the bread maker in the order above. Make a little well for the yeast and pour it in. Turn on the bread maker. I chose medium crust, but let it sit for 30 minutes in the warmer to ensure the tapioca is not gooey. [smile] Then you select the Gluten free option!
The easiest and best bread ever! So good that my children did not want me to share this with you (which I can't figure that out!). I told them I would still make it for them and maybe other people would get this and then when we visit, they would have this yummy gluten free bread recipe there too! That seems to make it OK to share with you!
Keep Fostering Nutrition with us!
Pam, I am not sure because I haven't tried yet. We are just excited to have fluffy "bread". On other recipes I have used the following as substitutes per egg: 1/3 applesauce, 1/3 c coconut oil, 1/2 mashed banana. These might work, let us know and others may benefit. Thanks for stopping in.
