AP College Football Poll: Alabama Closes the Gap with No 1 FSU
With the Seminoles needing a desperate drive to win on Saturday, it's not surprising that Alabama closes the gap with No 1 FSU in the latest AP College Football poll. The AP College poll's top four teams didn't change, but the Alabama Crimson Tide gained a few more first-place votes, as did the Oregon Ducks football team.
Florida State remained No. 1 after beating Boston College 20-17 on Saturday. However, the victory was once again in question at the half, and in fact the Seminoles needed a last-minute field goal to win.
FSU has succeeded with that formula all season, leading to an 11-0 record and the status as the only major undefeated team in college football. However, the AP college football pollsters appear to have taken note of their come-from-behind wins, awarding Alabama and Oregon a few extra first-place nods.
FSU, Alabama, Oregon and Mississippi State are the top four teams once again.
Florida State received six fewer first-place votes compared to last, with the Alabama Crimson Tide football team earning five five of them. The Oregon Ducks picked-up the other first-place vote that had previously gone to FSU, earning them two total.
Baylor and TCU switched places in the latest AP college football poll, with Baylor ranking fifth and TCU ranking sixth. The Ohio State Buckeyes came in at No. 7, with Georgia, UCLA and Michigan State rounding out the top 10.
It's highly unlikely though not impossible that these top four teams will end the season ranked the same way. FSU and Oregon both have tough games ahead, and while Alabama and Mississippi State aren't facing the same challenge they do have losable games.
With the top four teams in the latest AP college football poll remaining the same this week, it will be interesting to see what the College Football Playoff Committee rules Tuesday night. That's when we'll see the latest playoff ranking.

Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Coat the veal in flour, shaking off the excess. Cook the veal 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden on the outside and pink in the middle. Remove from the pan and set aside. And the lemon, capers, stock and parsley to the pan; bring to a boil. Return the veal to the pan and simmer, turning once, in the lemony liquid 2 to 3 minutes. Divide veal and brothy sauce among plates and serve.
Try the veal with steamed broccolini, broccoli, asparagus, green beans or spinach, drizzled and flavoured with, if desired, hot garlic butter. Boiled new potatoes, steamed rice, buttered egg noodles or your favourite pasta are starches that would go great with the veal.

Q: Adaptive Positioning Based on iOS Device I made an iPhone game a few months ago, and am now trying to port it as a universal app to both the iPad and iPhone 5 with Cocos2D. I was wondering if there was a simple-ish way to determine where an object should be placed based on the device running the game.
I could use if statements to figure out which device the game is running on, so when I get the correct sized images for the device I could have separate positions for each object, but it seems like there would be a maths formula which would allow me to use a lot less code. Obviously something like a full screen background is very simple, because it just needs to be centred with:
[background setPosition:CGPointMake(screenSize.width/2,screenSize.height/2)];

I haven't a clue how to adapt a button that would be X = 144 & Y = 330 on the old 3.5inch, 640 by 960 resolution iPhone to an iPad or iPhone 5 resolution.
I'm willing to use a more recent version of iOS if it will make my life easier, but because I'm not using any of Apple's objects I don't know if that is possible.
Maybe this isn't even possible because the button will be different sizes for the iPhone and iPad version, but I thought I would ask.

A: yeah, i am usually facing the same problem,
but if it is just a static objects placement
i would have relative coordinates instead of absolute for every object
and then use screen sizes to place them correctly
so you might want to use a function like:
-(CGPoint) relativeToScreen:(CGPoint) p {
    return ccp(screenSize.width * p.x, screenSize.height * p.y)
}

where 0.0 <= p.x =< 1.0 and the same for p.y
and don't forget about your anchorPoint, because the node position is based on it as well
and i hope you have discovered that cocos2d already does image choosing instead of you,
you just have to set right suffixes for your images: -hd, -ipad, -ipadhd

A: For iphone5 resolution, I position hud buttons relative to the screen dimensions. Very similar to what you are doing for the background. So for example, a pause button I want in the top left I would position like this:
[pauseButton setPosition:CGPointMake(0.0f + 30.0f, screenSize.height - 50.0f)];

For ipad it gets really tricky. The lazy way which I have implemented is to play around with the content scale factor and zoom everything up and have "dead" borders to compensate for the ipad's screen ratio. Not the best, but at least you can re-use all the same assets for the ipad.

We have not been using a microwave for the past 13 years now. When we started learning about health and nutrition, I learned how the microwave decays and changes the molecular structure of the food by the process of radiation, so we chose to not use it anymore and got rid of our microwave.
My husband, who took a lot longer to jump on the health band wagon, didn't mind that I didn't want to use the microwave any more because he did not like the taste of the food after it had been microwaved.
We use a toaster oven or a pan on the stove for reheating food and I take food out of the freezer in advance to let it thaw or put it in water for a while. It doesn't take that much longer. It was not difficult to stop using the microwave.
Some of you might disagree, but you could do some research for yourself. Below is some information and there are some links to some articles on microwave ovens.


Almost every business has a conference room. Whether you are using your conference room to show products to your customers, video conference with a satellite office, hold a company meeting or receive visits from sales people, your conference room must serve many purposes. With each purpose, there are changing demands on these rooms. No one wants to spend large amounts of money on a conference room, because let's face it: the average conference room is probably used about four hours a week. But during those four hours, it's important that the design of the room does not hinder your agenda.
Screen: Do you need a screen to project things? If so, what size? Screen size is largely dependent upon the room size and what you are going to be displaying on the screen. If the room is large, or if you'll be working with lots of spreadsheets and documents with small print, then consider a projector and screen instead of a large TV. If you are primarily using it for video and presentations, then a large TV will suffice.
Screen placement: You will want to make sure the screen is high enough so that everyone in the room can see the full screen. You also want to make sure it's not too high, as this can cause neck fatigue, leading to people losing interest in the content of your message.
Connectivity: How are you going to connect devices to your TV or projector? TVs and projectors now have multiple wireless connectivity options, some of which are built-in. There are also add-on devices to TVs, such as AppleTV and Microsoft's Wireless Display Adaptor. These two options allow almost any tablet or laptop purchased in the last two years to wirelessly connect with ease.
Confidentiality: Are you going to be using the room to discuss confidential information? You might want to consider a white noise system. This system puts out a soft static sound in the room, keeping people outside from overhearing your conversation.
Sound quality: What kind of sound quality will you need? You can do anything from a couple of computer speakers to a full-blown 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound system. It depends on your use.
Drawing board: Do you need a dry erase board? Use it to draw out upcoming plans, troubleshoot processes or do some plain old brainstorming.
Simple-to-use remote: A smart remote can make all the difference in simplifying your setup. You can program a smart remote to auto-change inputs based on the options you select. For instance, if you have an iPad, you can have a Mac button on the remote to automatically switch to the AppleTV input and turn on the AppleTV. You can set up multiple buttons based on your needs. This takes the guesswork out of which input the TV needs to be on (for any technologically challenged people).
Lighting: If you are going to be using a projector, you will want to make sure your projector is bright enough so people can see without having to dim the lights. Dimming the lights can make some people uncomfortable. Also, you will want to make sure that light sources will not interfere with line of sight in any parts of the room.
Other accessories to consider: Conference room phone, webcam, dedicated computer and many more.
The main thing to keep in mind is that you need to make sure any technology you use in your conference room is simple, yet effective. Make sure your employees are familiar and comfortable with the setup; this will put them at ease when presenting. Making the customer feel comfortable in your conference room environment will allow them to give you their full attention, and it will help you to be more successful. A well-planned and well-executed conference room setup can go a long way in helping you be more productive and profitable.


This woman, Edna Cintron is standing in the hole in the North Tower of the World Trade Center where the plane crashed into the building.
How can Enda be alive? The US government claims that not long after this photo was taken the raging inferno that followed the plane crash caused the building to weaken and collapse. When this photo was taken the fire was no longer intense and the temperature was definitely not high enough to harm a person, let alone to cause significant damage to the high grade structural steel the building was constructed with.

Hope is an illusion. If you want to create something you have to actively work at it and not hope that somebody else, or somehow, some miracle is going to happen and people will come to come to their senses or whatever. We either will create a world of peace or we won't. But it's our choice.
Just in my lifetime, I've watched the American people for the first time in history stop a war in progress. I've watched the civil rights movement go from when I was a child when segregation was the law. I have watched the American people stop the production of 112 nuclear power plants.
None of these were started by huge organizations, by super heroes or heroines. Each and every one of those was started by one, two or a handful of people who said no.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that the mainstream media can no longer be relied upon to provide fair and reasonable coverage of world events.
We hope the information in the various sites below will provide you with a good balance of alternative opinions that will allow you to form a more accurate picture of the current state of the world.
9/11 Citizens Watch is a new citizen-led oversight process established to monitor and constructively engage the Government-sanctioned National Commission on the Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.
Amazing site. The seven laws of science prove there was controlled demolition at the WTC. Internet webcasting pioneer Richard A Siegel, of OnlineTV fame, captured both of the World Trade Towers collapsing and a lot more. See the raw footage and listen to Rick's eyewitness testimony of the daring helicopter rescue on the roof of the south tower, WTC2, only moments before it collapsed into "a pile of dust." For the first time, see and hear the massive explosions at the base of the towers causing clouds of dust to rise up from street level before each tower fell. Prepare yourself for the shocking reality of raw digital video that was removed from the internet when all the OnlineTV computers were seized. Despite legal attempts to recover them, they remain locked away to this day... Stand in the shoes of a 9-11 Eyewitness. Believe your own eyes and ears. Reach your own conclusion. Develop your own opinion. Act upon your conscience. The internet version of the DVD can be downloaded from the Question 911site.

Here we are again, the time of year most of us wait for…those hot, hazy days of summer. While summer brings us so much joy, it also comes with one of the most controversial topics….Sunscreen.
The incidence of skin cancer, and sun related skin damage is very real and also very preventable. It is important to understand what to look for as it will become apparent that all sunscreens are not created equal. In this article, I hope to clear up some of the confusion around sunscreen and give you tools to help protect you and your family.
SPF is a measure of a sunscreen's ability to prevent UVB from damaging the skin.
As a general rule, if it takes you 20minutes for your unprotected skin to turn pink, then you take 20min and times by SPF 15, which gives you about 5 hours of protection.
SPF 15 blocks approximately 93 percent of all incoming UVB rays.
SPF 50 blocks 98 percent.
It is important that you use at least SPF 15, and preferably SPF 30. Many sunscreens are now coming out with SPF 55-100 however most of these block just 1-2% more sunburn (UVB) radiation than an SPF 30 sunscreen and aren't required to block UVA. Compared to an SPF 30 sunscreen, they also require 2-3 times more active ingredients, many of which absorb into the body.
Many all-day moisturizers advertise SPF protection, but 1 in 5 offer little protection from harmful UVA rays. A surprising new government report attributes an increasing incidence of malignant melanoma among people who work indoors from UVA rays shining through windows onto unprotected skin (Godar 2009).
UVB is the chief culprit behind sunburn. UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply and are associated with wrinkling, leathering, sagging, and other effects of photo aging. They also exacerbate the carcinogenic effects of UVB rays, and a growing number of studies are showing that they are being seen as a cause of skin cancer on their own.
Most sunscreens protect from UVB sunburn radiation, and far fewer brands protect against UVA rays. Currently, there are no FDA regulations for UVA protection in suncreens. The good news is that in the last couple of years, the number of manufacturers adding UVA protection to their sunscreen has increased.
It is important to make sure that in addition to a higher SPF (which will protect from UVB radiation) that your sunscreen is also protecting you from these harmful UVA rays.
Most active ingredients in sunscreen work by absorbing the suns energy, breaking it apart and releasing that energy to react with other chemicals in the sunscreen or kicking off free radicals. Some active ingredients are more stable than others, but nearly all break down to some extent in the sun. In fact, it has been shown that many ingredients break down in the sun in a matter of minutes or hours causing UV radiation to be exposed to skin. Many products on the market contain ingredients that may be unstable alone, or in combination with other ingredients in the product.
Instead of absorbing the suns energy, the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide actually reflect or scatter the sunlight making it a more stable choice. Because they are white earth minerals, the sunscreens tend to be more opaque and white in appearance instead of clear. Little to no amounts of zinc or titanium dioxide are absorbed into the skin making them safer choices than some of the other UVA filters.
Environmental Working Group "found that consumers using sunscreens without zinc and titanium would be exposed to an average of 20% more UVA radiation — with increased risks for UVA-induced skin damage, premature aging, wrinkling, and UV-induced immune system damage — than consumers using zinc- and titanium-based products. Sunscreens without zinc or titanium contain an average of 4 times as many high hazard ingredients known or strongly suspected to cause cancer or birth defects, to disrupt human reproduction or damage the growing brain of a child. They also contain more toxins on average in every major category of health harm considered: cancer (10% more), birth defects and reproductive harm (40% more), neurotoxins (20% more), endocrine system disruptors (70% more), and chemicals that can damage the immune system (70% more)" (EWG 2007).
Sunscreen is known to contain active metabolites that are readily absorbed by the body and are known to cause many toxic side effects in the system.
Oxybenzone – This is now the most common active ingredient in sunscreen since PABA was discontinued.
disruption of thyroid hormone and brain signaling.
Paba ester/octyl dimethyl paba – A derivative of the once popular PABA.
allergic reactions in some people.
After much research on this, I believe that Badger Sunscreen is the best and meets all of these requirements. Because of the zinc and titanium dioxide which are natural inert white compounds, this sunscreen tends to go on very thick and often white. While badger still does this, I find it goes on better than most.
Even many of the natural sunscreens on the market contain these toxic active ingredients, which is why for your convenience we are selling Badger in our clinic this summer.

UPDATE: In final nationals released Wednesday afternoon by Nielsen, the premieres of all three shows were adjusted up a tenth in 18-49: "The Muppets" (2.9/11 in 18-49, 9.01 million viewers overall), "Scream Queens" (1.7/6 in 18-49, 4.04 million viewers overall) and "Limitless" (1.9/6 in 18-49, 9.86 million viewers overall). NBC's "The Voice" (3.5/12 in 18-49, 12.35 million viewers overall) and CBS' "NCIS" (2.5/9 in 18-49, 18.19 million viewers overall) also were adjusted up, while NBC's "Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris" edged down (2.1/7 in 18-49, 5.91 million viewers overall).
The jam-packed first Tuesday of the television season featured some of the fall's most-anticipated premieres, with ABC's "The Muppets" opening impressively and standing as the night's top new show in key demos, and CBS' "Limitless" looking good too by building on its lead-in in young adults. Fox's "Scream Queens," on the other hand, opened to unspectacular numbers on what has been a challenging night of late for the network.
NBC won Tuesday night in demos behind another two-hour installment of "The Voice" and an improved second week for new variety show "Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris." CBS rolled in total viewers, with "NCIS" leading the way as usual as it kicked off its 13th season.
Looking at the early numbers, "The Muppets" — despite airing in a tough timeslot opposite both "The Voice" and "NCIS" — averaged a 2.8 rating/10 share in adults 18-49 and 8.9 million viewers overall to become the No. 2-rated new series of the fall in the demo (behind NBC's "Blindspot"). It was up sharply from last year's Tuesday comedy bow in the timeslot (a 1.3 in 18-49 and 4.2 million total viewers for "Selfie" in the second week of the television season).
"Muppets" fared well across all age groups, earning an 8 share in adults 18-34, a 9 share in teens 12-17 and 10 shares in both adults 18-49 and 25-54. Its young-adult audience was roughly 55% female. And it earned especially high scores in top-10 markets Philadelphia (5.9/17), Chicago (4.9/21) and Boston (4.3/15).
At CBS, "Limitless" averaged a 1.8 rating/6 share in adults 18-49 and 9.8 million viewers overall in the 10 o'clock hour, finishing second in demos (to NBC's "Best Time Ever") and edging out ABC's special "Dancing With the Stars" in total viewers. The drama based on the Bradley Cooper feature film was able to bring younger viewers to CBS, building on its "NCIS: New Orleans" lead-in by 7% in 18-49 (1.8 vs. 1.7) and by 25% in 18-34 (1.0 vs. 0.8).
The 1.8 rating in 18-49 (which is close to rounding up to a 1.9) for "Limitless" matches the regular-series timeslot high of last season for CBS, set by the season premiere of "Person of Interest." And in a good sign, especially for a 10 p.m. newbie, "Limitless" maintained its demo rating from its first half-hour to its second. The show will face tougher competition in the coming weeks though, with NBC airing "The Voice" in the hour starting next week before drama "Chicago Fire" comes aboard next month.
Elsewhere, NBC's two-hour "The Voice" (3.4/11 in 18-49, 12.1 million viewers overall) was the top Tuesday series in demos, though it was down 0.7 from last year's opener on the night; it edged past "The Muppets" for the 18-49 lead at 8 o'clock and then opened up bigger advantages over its final three half-hours. It was followed by "Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris" (2.2/7 in 18-49, 6.2 million viewers overall), which rose 0.3 or 0.4 week to week (depending on if it's revised down again in the nationals) to win the 10 o'clock hour in 18-49 and 25-54 (2.7/8). The variety show moves to its regular 8 p.m. timeslot next week.
At CBS, "NCIS" (2.4/8 in 18-49, 17.7 million viewers overall) was second in demos and a dominant No. 1 in total viewers for the 8 o'clock hour, down 0.5 from last season's premiere but ahead of its final nine episodes from last season. It was followed by the second-season premiere of "NCIS: New Orleans" (1.7/5 in 18-49, 12.5 million viewers overall), which was down a steeper 0.8 from last year's bow and only a tick above its series low.
CW aired repeats of "The Flash," which is back with new episodes on Oct. 6.


On December 3 of 2009 Tbilisi Municipality has announced two tenders for regulation of the problems connected with homeless animals. Tender requirements were published on the web-site of Tbilisi Municipality. The first tender is "On State Purchase of the Service Connected with Humane Capture and Isolation and Veterinary Supervision of Homeless Animals (dogs, cats) in Tbilisi". The deadline for submission of bids was December 23 of 2009. According to verbal information there were no bids presented by anybody. GSPSA has not yet obtained any official information, but according to all the available sources, there were no veterinary clinics who expressed their wish for participation in the tender. GSPSA has refrained itself from the participation in the tender due to the absence of legislative basis and currently existing situation, which does not meet their requirements. One thing is quite clear: 2.5 year long program of Ltd "Debut" for extermination of animals has come to end. Now none of the company dares to repeat this cruelty. The Mayor's office itself has underlined the need for "humane" actions and this is the proof that the situation has changed for better. GSPSA hopes and is sure that beginning from 2010 there shall not be even one precedent of cruel treatment of animals from the Mayor's office as well as from the contractor-company.
There is another tender announced by the Mayor's office on the same date – December 3 of 2009: "Tender on the State Purchase of Construction Works for the Shelter of Homeless Animals in Tbilisi". The deadline for bids was December 23 of 2009. GSPSA has no information about the participant companies as well as the winner of the tender. It is a pity that the Municipality has not carried out consultations with non-governmental organizations concerning the shelter and its future Regulations. Despite this announcement of tender itself is to be considered a step forward, which we hope shall contribute to setting up of temporary shelter for homeless animals and provide them with the necessary veterinary service. It is also very important to work out relevant Regulations for the municipal shelter in order to avoid turning it into a place for assassination of animals. GSPSA hopes that the city municipality services and non-governmental organizations engaged in animal protection shall cooperate on the issues of animal population management and form human attitude towards animals as well as resolve many important problems. Such good intentions of mutual cooperation were once more stressed out on December 25 of 2009 at the Conference held by GSPSA.

Daiana Menezes: Beautiful, Hot, And A Fighter
Daiana Menezes. Ah, she possesses hotness that can harden the softest member. Oh, this babe truly has got it. The gorgeous face plus the Victoria's Secret Angel-like body. No really, that's not an exaggeration. Here, have a look.
But what makes her extra-sexy is not a part of her physical attributes. You see, this woman is a fighter. She has gone through a difficult time but came out on top (hee hee, on top). No, really…
Who is Daiana Menezes?
Daiana is a Brazilian actress, model, and television host who is best known for heading several different programs in the Philippines. She is best recognized for hosting Eat Bulaga!, Umagang Kay Ganda, and Paparazzi.

Daiana worked with her father in their growing shoe business, which led her to take a Fashion Design business course. She later graduated from the New York Film Academy. Before she came to the Philippines, she was already doing several commercials in the international scene. She then became a TV personality in GMA 7 and TV5 networks who gave her the chance to show her acting prowess and hosting talents.

Sinn Féin spokesperson for Transport Imelda Munster TD has today lambasted Minister for Transport Shane Ross TD after he disclosed at a meeting of the Oireachtas Transport Committee that the spending deficit in road maintenance has increased by 50% since he took office.
"When Minister Ross took office, there was a deficit in spending on the maintenance of local and regional roads to the tune of €3 billion.
"This was due to a decade of neglect when the previous Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael governments chose to bail out banks, rather than invest in services and infrastructure.
"However, the government is blue in the face trying to convince us that the economy is in recovery.
"If the economy is booming, why is the deficit at €4.5 billion after two years of this government being in power? That is an increase of 50%.
"Fianna Fáil also have to take responsibility for supporting successive budgets that have led to the crumbling of infrastructure right across the state.
"It is clear that Minister Ross is out of his depth. He has known about this issue for two years and has done precious little to address it.

Q: Design for multi-tenant app using SOA, UoW, Repository, DataContext & multiple databases Let me start by apologizing for the length of this post but I wanted to provide as much detail as possible to increase the chance of an answer.  Thanks in advance.
I'm adding new features to an existing application that integrates data from several databases. In short, it allows clients and/or their accountants to access and update financial information about their locations. The application has 3 tiers with a web client (I'm looking to replace this will a Silverlight client very soon), a service layer running on an app server and the database tier.
When I took ownership, the application, despite having 3-tiers, was very simplistic. It is using ADO.NET for everything and the web service is simply a pass-through for dynamic (string) SQL queries on one of the databases. My first task was to "clean-up" the existing code.  There was nothing object-oriented about the app and everything was flat.  I've begun refactoring the application to leverage LINQ-to-SQL, implemented the Repository pattern to make the business logic testable (not to mention more maintainable as we evolve the data access technology from ADO.NET to L2S and, hopefully, on to Entity Framework) and reworked the code to actually use the features of .NET.
For the most part, the web app is a piece of cake as every page is a simple query on a table or view in the database (via the web service).  On the app server side, I ended up with a DataContext for each database and a Repository for each entity (or Aggregate Root using DDD terms).  I use constructor injection (Castle Windsor) to set the proper repository instance for my service class and likewise for the DataContext used by the repository.
This is all well and good except now I have to add edit capability into the application that requires logic spanning 4 databases and I'm at a loss for the right approach. It is critical that the flow and architecture of the app is consistent and maintainable by junior-grade developers. (Aside from me, the team is basically VB6 devs who think they are programming .NET because they are using VS and the BCL – they know very little about patterns, practices, unit testing, mocking, etc, etc, etc) 
Let me walk through what is needed to make the edit view work:

When the page is first loaded, I generate a list of "editable" fiscal periods.

This list is based on a set of rules contained in a SQL Server database (call it the "Metadata" db). Each row in the table identifies the fiscal period by name along with the timeframe it may be edited.
These rules are used to query a table in the DB2 financial database that maps the period name and year to the actual dates.  This query will return all entries with an end date in the past and a close date (end date plus edit length from above) after today.
The page will default the selected period to the most recent.  When a period is selected, I fire another request to populate a list of locations that the current user may edit during the selected period.

First I have to interrogate the user's security information from the "Security" database and determine if they are in the Accountants role.  If so, then I have to query the Metadata database to retrieve a list of clients for the current user. If not, then I use the clientID of the current user.
Next I query the DB2 financial database to obtain the list of locations, filtering based on the selected period and list of clientIDs that the user may access.  I also filter based on the status so I only return locations that were active during that period.
As with the period, the page will default the selected location to the first one in the list.  When the location is selected, I make another request for the actual financial data for that location during the selected period.

This request is made to the "Staging" database and is pretty straight-forward.
All of this repeats if the user selects a different period or location.
So, let's take #2 and walk through how I should be implementing this in my service application using the Unit Of Work and Repository patterns and…  Oh, one problem – there is no LINQ-to-DB2 and the company won't make the jump to EF yet so I am left with using ADO.NET when working with that database.  But don't let that hold you up as I'd like a solution that is as data access tech-agnostic as possible because they could change their minds any day.  In fact, they could shift paradigms and go to NHibernate for all I know at this point.  I'm more concerned with getting from the service façade to the DataContext and not so much about how the DataContext (or ObjectContext) is implemented.
Can you walk me through the implementation of calling my web service method with the current user's credentials and selected fiscal period, performing the steps outlined in #2 above and returning the appropriate list of locations?
Whew… That was a lot to take in.  I appreciate the help sorting it out.


Having a talk with locals is the right way to learn something new about the city that is not written in the guidebook. To go for a walk with him means to look the city inside out.
Trust your acquaintance with Dubrovnik to the local guide, he will tell and show you the history of the city in the most fascinating way, filling it with fruity stories, and will certainly give you a couple of tips, where to go for a lunch and to buy souvenirs. Nothing superfluous - only two hours of useful information.
During the tour you will pass along the fortifications that defended Dubrovnik in war-time, the Old City. You will learn how political intrigues and military actions influenced the architecture of the city. Meeting time is up to you.


Happy customers. Not such a complex business plan. Hard to achieve.
Apple reached a market value of one trillion dollars this week.
Apple CEO Tim Cook sent a memo to Apple staff after the trillion dollar valuation was hit. He said the company should be proud of the achievement, but said it "was not the most important measure of our success". "Financial returns are simply the result of Apple's innovation, putting our products and customers first, and always staying true to our values," he wrote.
It's also about giving people what they want.
98%: 2018 customer satisfaction with iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus(97% according to a second survey).
When it comes to iOS, 95 percent of customers run a version that's no more than two-years old.
At 93 points, Apple leads in Laptop magazine's regular 2018 annual survey of U.S. tech support for computer companies.
Apple (83) has the highest customer satisfaction rating across all the companies in the Personal Computers category, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index.
It's also higher in the cellular telephone category and iTunes (77) is just one point short of equal first in the ASCI's video streaming services category, which is led by Netflix, Sony and Twitch/Amazon with 78 points each. Don't worry — Apple's working on that.
Around 64% of iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple Watches ever sold remain in active use, they just keep working.
It's customer satisfaction scores like these that Apple's business is built on. It's customer satisfaction scores like these that made it rich, and its scores like these that mean customers (and their friends) keep coming back for more.
The company has made billions keeping people happy.

VT RADIO discusses Endless Wars with SGT Dan McKnight from Bring Our Troops Home
Host Johnny Punish welcomes Dan McKnight of Bring Our Troops Home to discuss Endless Wars and American Foreign Policy moving forward.
Johnny Punish, GM
On Monday, I interviewed SGT Dan McKnight from Bring Our Troops Home. Together, we discussed America's Endless Wars, Ukraine, Russia, and The Middle East, and how our U.S. Government needs to follow the U.S. Constitution when declaring war.
Dan is extremely articulate and an outstanding spokesperson for ending America's Endless Wars. Check him out in our 22-minute talk about American Foreign Policy moving forward.
Sgt. Dan McKnight is a thirteen-year veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, including service in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, U.S. Army, and Idaho Army National Guard. He deployed for an eighteen-month combat tour in Afghanistan from 2005 to 2007.

Bring Our Troops Home is a veterans advocacy organization founded in February 2019 by Dan and other veterans of the Global War on Terror. It speaks on behalf of the majority of veterans who believe we must end our wars in the Middle East. You can see polling on their website for numbers – https://bringourtroopshome.us/polls.
The cornerstone project of Bring Our Troops Home is the "DefendTheGuard" movement. Defend the Guard is state-based legislation that would prohibit the deployment of National Guard units into active combat without a formal declaration of war by Congress, as required by Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
The National Guard forms the backbone of the U.S. military. Over 45% of the troops deployed and 18% of the casualties incurred by the Global War on Terror were Guardsmen.
Passage of this bill in multiple state legislatures would force the federal government to follow what is already federal law, and either ends our foreign policy of multiple endless wars and foreign occupations or make Congress fully accountable for their decisions.
Defend the Guard has been formally introduced as a bill in 20 states as of 2022, and we have commitments from potential sponsors in a dozen others. We are working on a fifty-state strategy for the 2023 legislative session, and states we're particularly excited about include Arizona, Kentucky, Wyoming, and Idaho.
As a non-profit, they educate fellow citizens and encourage lawmakers related to their preferred legislation. They are non-partisan and do not offer endorsements for political office.

VT Radio is on RUMBLE. Here's the link
https://rumble.com/user/vtradio
BTW, we can't stand YouTube! Google is stealing from 90% of the content creators, making money off that content and paying out zero. They are global thieves The challenge is the consumer has no clue and continues to visit them. And in our case, the rumble code DOES NOT fit into video area, not yet. So we use that dastardly YouTube. But we're working on it. We will get rid of them, one way or another.


Daz is the name of a popular laundry detergent on the market in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is manufactured by Procter & Gamble and is lower priced than P&G's main brand, Ariel. Aggressively marketed, it is associated in popular culture with the "Daz Doorstep Challenge" series of commercials, which saw various 'hosts' including Danny Baker, Shane Richie and Michael Barrymore surprising house occupiers at the door and asking them to put Daz to the test against a rival detergent. The advert was famously spoofed by Dom Joly in the British sketch series Trigger Happy TV where Dom would knock on doors presenting the 'zap mega' challenge. He then ran from the scene with the crew in tow, arms akimbo, legs flailing while the occupier went to retrieve a white garment. The occupier then returned to the door looking bemused. The advert was also spoofed in a John Smith's advertising campaign featuring Peter Kay. Recent TV commercials are set in an obviously fictitious "Cleaner Close"soap opera.

CHRONOLOGY (Petrie Museum) [University College London]
Some 60000 years ago the Nile River began its yearly inundation of the land along its banks leaving behind rich alluvial soil. Areas close to the floodplain became attractive as a source of food and water. In time climatic changes, including periods of aridity, further served to confine human habitation to the Nile Valley although this was not always true. From the Chalcolithic period (the Copper Age : beginning about 4000 BC) into the early part of the Old Kingdom people apparently used an extended part of the land. In the 7th millennium BC Egypt was environmentally hospitable and evidence of settlements from that time has been found in the low desert areas of southern or Upper Egypt; remains of similar occupation have been discovered at Nubian sites in modern Sudan ...
Enough pottery has been found in Upper Egyptian tombs from the 4th millennium BC (in the Pre-Dynastic period) to establish a relative dating sequence. The Pre-Dynastic Period which ends with the unification of Egypt under one king is generally subdivided into three parts, each of which refers to the site at which its archaeological materials were found: Badarian, Amratian (Naqada I) and Gerzean (Naqada II and III). Northern sites (from about 5500 BC) have yielded datable archaeological material of apparent cultural continuity but no long-term sequences such as those found in the south ...

Zensur in Hongkong, die sich auf die Unterdrückung des Sprechens oder anderer öffentlicher Kommunikation bezieht, wirft Fragen in Bezug auf die Redefreiheit auf. Nach dem Gesetz besteht die Zensur in der Regel gegen die Verteilung bestimmter Materialien, vor allem Kinderpornografie, obszöne Bilder und Berichte über Gerichtsverfahren, die zu unfairen Gerichtsverurteilungen führten.

Vor der Übertragung der Souveränität Hongkongs an China im Jahr 1997 rühmte sich Hongkong, die größte Pressefreiheit in Asien zu haben. Seit der Übergabe ans Festlandchina, wurde Hongkong unter der Ein-Land-zwei-Systeme-Politik relativ rechtliche, wirtschaftliche und politische Autonomie gewährt. Im Gegensatz zum restlichen China, wo die Kontrolle über Medien allgegenwärtig ist, sind Hongkongs Redefreiheit, Pressefreiheit und Veröffentlichungen gemäß Artikel 27 des Hongkonger Grundgesetzes sowie des Artikels 16 der Hongkonger Freiheitsurkunde geschützt.

Beobachter haben jedoch einen Trend zunehmender Bedrohungen der Pressefreiheit in Hongkong festgestellt, unter anderem körperliche Angriffe gegen Journalisten, gezielte Angriffe gegen die liberalen Medien und deren Besitzer, Entzug von Werbeeinnahmen und die Ernennung von konformen Pro-Peking-Chefredakteuren. Der Rückgang von Hongkongs Rangliste auf dem Pressefreiheitsverzeichnis, das jährlich Reporter ohne Grenzen veröffentlicht, war schwindelerregend gewesen: Es stand 2015 auf dem 70. Platz, hatte somit im Vergleich zu 2014 neun Plätze verloren; im Jahr 2002 stand es noch auf dem 18. Platz.

Zensur nach der Übergabe

Obwohl Garantien für freie Reden gegeben wurden, zeigten öffentliche Umfragen 1997, dass Journalisten immer mehr Angst vor der Selbstzensur von Schriften hatten, die der Zentralregierung gegenüber kritisch waren. Dennoch deuteten Journalisten bei einer Umfrage des Hongkonger Journalistenverbandes an, dass sie überwiegend nicht zögerten, Kritik an China zu veröffentlichen, und direkter Druck durch die chinesische Regierung, Nachrichten zu verändern, eigentlich sehr selten gewesen seien. Seit der Übergabe nutzten Hongkonger Zeitungen (vor allem englischsprachige Medien) ihre selbsterklärte redaktionelle Unabhängigkeit gegenüber internationalem Publikum als Marketinginstrument.

1998 gab es eine Kontroverse über Äußerungen, die der Magazinverleger Xu Simin machte. Xu behauptete, dass der von der Regierung finanzierte Sender Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) gegenüber Festlandchina voreingenommen sei. Obwohl pro-RTHK-Kommentatoren Xus Kommentare als von Peking kommend ansahen, distanzierten sich Vertreter der Zentralregierung von seinen Kommentaren. 2001 äußerte der Hongkonger Journalistenverband Bedenken, dass die von der der Regierung und Tung Chee-hwa verwendete "schrille Rhetorik [in der sie Falun Gong verleumdeten] eine offene Debatte heraufbeschwören würde, da diese zur Selbstzensur ermutigte".

Hongkongs Rangfolge auf dem Pressefreiheitsverzeichnis, das jährlich von Reportern ohne Grenzen veröffentlicht wird, befand sich 2002 auf dem 18. Platz. Seitdem wiesen eine Reihe Faktoren, vor allem die Selbstzensur und Vorfälle, die die Medien beeinflussten, auf eine zunehmende Erosion der Fähigkeit von Journalisten hin, über Nachrichten in objektiver Weise zu berichten. Im Jahr 2011 sprach die Vorsitzende des Hongkonger Journalistenverbandes Mak Yin-ting () aufgrund wachsender Geschäftsbeziehungen zwischen Peking und Medienbesitzern in Hongkong über Selbstzensur. Mak äußerte, dass "nun sind mehr als die Hälfte der Medienchefs in Hongkong beziehungsweise im Medien-Management Tätigen von der kommunistischen Regierung absorbiert worden … Diese könnten vielleicht erwägen, ob die Berichterstattung einiger Themen die Beziehungen zwischen ihren Chefs und der Regierung beeinflussen oder diesen schaden würden". In diesem Jahr fiel Hongkongs Rangordnung auf dem Pressefreiheitsindex um zwanzig Plätze auf Platz 54. In einem Bericht, der neben dem Inhaltsverzeichnis veröffentlicht wurde, wurde festgestellt, dass "Verhaftungen, Attacken und Schikanen die Arbeitsbedingungen für Journalisten [in Hongkong] verschlechtert hatten, und zwar in einem Ausmaß, das bisher noch nicht gesehen worden war; ein Zeichen einer beunruhigenden Veränderung in der Regierungspolitik". Hongkongs Ranking im Verzeichnis, das im Jahr 2014 auf dem 61. Platz stand, verlor nach dem Bericht im Jahr 2015 neun weitere Plätze. Als Faktor wurde "Fehlverhalten der Polizei" genannt. Die Journalisten hatten sich beschwert, dass sie bei sensiblen Nachrichten, die der Regierung gegenüber kritisch waren, unter getarntem Druck gestanden hätten, die Beiträge zu ändern beziehungsweise zu mildern. Das P.E.N.-Zentrum glaubt, dass über die Kontroverse um die Geschäfte, die Leung Chun-ying (auch CY Leung) mit der United Group Limited machte, in einigen Medien besonders lückenhaft berichtet worden war. Es wurde verzeichnet, dass zunehmende Gewalt gegen Journalisten stattfand; die Polizei war in einige dieser Tätlichkeiten verwickelt. Der Hongkonger Journalistenverband stellte fest, dass mindestens 28 Angriffe gegen Journalisten stattfanden, die über die Regenschirm-Revolution berichtet hatten. Laut dem PEN American Center, der Internationalen Vereinigung von Journalisten, hatten alles in allem die Vorkommnisse der Zensur, der politische Druck zur Selbstzensur und die Einschüchterungen zugenommen.

Während der zweieinhalb Monate langen Proteste im Jahr 2014 und der lückenhaften Berichterstattung der traditionellen Medien über Ereignisse und Ansichten, wandten sich junge Menschen den Sozialen Medien zu, um an Nachrichten zu gelangen. The Guardian beschrieb die Proteste als "die am besten dokumentierte soziale Bewegung der Geschichte, die sogar in ihren ruhigeren Momenten einen Strudel von Statusmeldungen, Beiträgen und Vorlieben erzeugt". Die Menschen legten größeres Vertrauen in alternative Medien; einige davon wurden erst während der Proteste ins Leben gerufen. Die erloschenen House News wurden neu organisiert und als The House News Bloggers wieder aufleben gelassen. Im Dezember 2014 wurde das Nachfolgemedium Stand News gegründet. Im Dezember 2021 wurde das Büro von Stand News von staatlichen Sicherheitskräften durchsucht und im Zusammenhang damit mehrere Personen verhaftet, darunter aktuelle und frühere Mitarbeiter wie der amtierende Chefredakteur Patrick Lam, die ehemalige Legislativratsabgeordnete Margaret Ng und die Popsängerin Denise Ho.

Bemerkenswerte Beispiele

Zeitung South China Morning Post

Als Robert Kuok im Jahr 1993 die Zeitung South China Morning Post erwarb, wurden Befürchtungen über die rasch aufeinanderfolgenden erzwungenen Abreisen von Mitarbeitern und Mitwirkenden laut, die China beziehungsweise ihrer Anhängern in Hongkong kritisch gegenüberstanden. Vor der Übergabe wurden der beliebte Karikaturist Larry Feign und der Humorkolumnist Nury Vittachi entlassen. Seit 1997 schieden zahlreiche China-Redaktionsmitarbeiter aus, wie Danny Gittings, Redakteur für die 2000-01 Redaktionsseiten, und Peking-Korrespondent Jasper Becker. Willy Lam, Redakteur der Chinaseiten, ging, nachdem seine Berichterstattung von Robert Kuok öffentlich kritisiert worden war. Gittings beschwerte sich, dass er "immer wieder unter Druck geriet, um seine Berichterstattung über politisch sensible Themen abzuschwächen". Chefredakteur Wang Xiangwei wurde für seine Entscheidung kritisiert, den Zeitungsbericht über den Tod von Li Wangyang am 7. Juni 2012 zu kürzen. Wang hatte statt eines kompletten Artikels über die ganze Geschichte zu veröffentlichen, nur ein einem zwei Abschnitte langen Beitrag darüber berichtet. Andere Medien berichteten in großem Umfang über Lis Tod.

Ein leitender Mitarbeiter, der versucht hatte, Wangs Entscheidung zu verstehen, veröffentlichte den sich daraus ergebenden E-Mail-Austausch, der darauf hinwies, dass er von Wang eine strenge Zurückweisung erhalten hatte. Wang ist im Festland geboren und Mitglied des Provinzkomitees der politischen Konsultativkonferenz des chinesischen Volkes in Jilin. Die Zeitung intensivierte seitdem die Berichterstattung über den Tod und dessen Folgen als wichtige Nachrichten. Reporter Paul Mooney, dessen Vertrag mit der South China Morning Post im Mai 2012 nicht erneuert wurde, sagte, dass die Geschichte des Li Wangyang kein Einzelfall gewesen sei.

Zeitung Apple Daily

Die 1995 von Jimmy Lai gegründete liberale Zeitung Apple Daily stand unter beständigem Druck. 1997 wurde Reportern die Erlaubnis verweigert, über einen Hongkonger Empfang, den das chinesische Außenministerium organisiert hatte, zu berichten, weil sie bereits mehrere Male China kritisiert hatten. Apple Daily wurde Werbeboykotts ausgesetzt, ihre Reporter überfallen, ihr Besitzer angegriffen und ihre Räumlichkeiten mit Feuer bombardiert. Da Apple Daily die Regenschirm-Revolution unterstützte, stand sie unter beispiellosen Cyber-Angriffen. Zeitungsexemplare wurden von maskierten Schergen zerstört. Nach einer Blockade war ihre Logistik fast eine Woche lang lahmgelegt.

Am frühen Morgen des 17. Juni 2021 haben die Sicherheitsbehörden Hongkongs den Chefredakteur Ryan Law und vier weitere Direktoren der Apple Daily bei Razzien festgenommen. An der Aktion sollen Hunderte von Beamten beteiligt gewesen sein. Den Festgenommenen wurde vorgeworfen, bei der Veröffentlichung von Dutzenden von Artikeln Teil einer Verschwörung mit ausländischen Kräften zu sein. Der Sicherheitschef der Stadt, John Lee, beschuldigte die Festgenommenen, "journalistische Arbeit als Instrument zur Gefährdung der nationalen Sicherheit" (eigene Übersetzung) zu leisten und veröffentlichte eine abschreckend gemeinte Warnung an die Bewohner der Stadt und andere Medien.

Fernsehsender TVB

Seit 2009 zog die Fernsehstation TVB in Internetforen Kritik auf sich, durch die offensichtliche Pro-Konformismus-Voreingenommenheit in ihrer Berichterstattung. In diesem Jahr hatte ihre Nachrichtenabteilung den Bericht zum 20. Jahrestag des Tian'anmen-Massakers vom 4. Juni 1989 niedrig eingestuft. Die Berichterstattung wurde von vielen Internet-Forenbenutzern als Akt angesehen, um die Gunst der Zentralregierung zu gewinnen. TVB wurde mit dem staatlich kontrollierten Fernsehsender China Central Television verglichen und erhielt deshalb den Portmanteau-Begriff "CCTVB". Während der Proteste im Jahr 2014, übertrug TVB Filmmaterial, in dem am 15. Oktober sieben Polizisten einen Demonstranten schlugen, was bereits während der Sendung zu erheblichen internen Konflikten führte. Der Soundtrack der Sendung am Morgen, der die "Schläge und Tritte" erwähnte, wurde neu aufgenommen, und lautete nun, dass Beamte "verdächtigt würden, exzessive Gewalt angewendet zu haben". Keith Yuen (), Direktor des TVBs, hinterfragte, welche Gründe dazu geführt hatten, dass in dem Filmmaterial gesagt wurde: "Beamte zerrten ihn in eine dunkle Ecke und schlugen und traten auf ihn ein." Der stellvertretende Vorgesetzte des Nachrichtenerfassungsteams, der für das Filmmaterial verantwortlich war, wurde sofort zum Chefrechercheur degradiert, eine Stelle mit nur einem Teilzeituntergebenen. Viele Journalisten äußerten ihre Unzufriedenheit, wie mit der Übertragung umgegangen worden war, und rund 80 TVB-Mitarbeiter aus allen Abteilungen, die Einwände gegen die Handhabung hatten, schickten eine Petition an die Geschäftsführung. Nachdem mehrere Reporter von Aktivisten angegriffen wurden, die an einer Pro-Peking-Kundgebung teilnahmen, unterschrieben über 340 Mitarbeiter des Senders eine Petition, in der sie diese Gewalt verurteilten. Ein Produktionsdirektor der Nicht-Drama-Abteilung bestellte alle Bittsteller zu einem Treffen mit ihren Vorgesetzten. Dort wurde den Mitarbeitern gesagt, sie sollen ihre Unterschriften entfernen, sonst würden sie ihre Jahresendprämien aufs Spiel setzen. Im März 2015 wurde Luk Hon-tak (), der ehemalige Generaldirektor der DAB-Partei, Chefredakteur der TVB-Nachrichten und war verantwortlich für politische Themen. Im gleichen Jahr wurde das Video "Verdacht der Polizeibrutalität gegen Demonstranten der Bewegung Occupy Central" beim 55. Monte-Carlo-TV-Festival als die Besten Fernsehnachrichten gekürt und für den "umfassenden, objektiven und professionellen" Bericht gelobt. Das Video gewann auch einen Preis bei den Edward E. Murrow Awards in der Kategorie für Harte Nachrichten.

CLO-Störung bei der Wahl des Geschäftsführers 2012

Während der Geschäftsführerwahlen im Jahr 2012 benutzte die Pro-Peking-Zeitung Ta Kung Pao am 24. März 2012 eine ganze Titelseite, um die ehemalige im Untergrund lebende Kommunistin Florence Leung anzugreifen, die in ihrem Buch veröffentlichte, dass CY Leung 1985 nur deshalb Generalsekretär des Hongkonger Ausschusses zur Beratung des Grundgesetzes wurde, weil er ein im Untergrund lebendes Mitglied der Kommunistischen Partei sei. Die lokale Presse berichtete begierig über Bemühungen des Verbindungsbüros der Zentralregierung, Unterstützung hinter CY Leung zu sammeln, doch erzeugten die genannten Berichte Unbehagen bei den Beamten. Albert Ho übermittelte erhaltene Beschwerden über Versuche des Verbindungsbüros, Redakteure und Medienchefs einzuschüchtern. Medien berichteten umfassend, dass Richard Li Anrufe von CLO-Propagandachef Hao Tiechuan () erhalten hatte, der über die Berichterstattung seiner Hongkonger Wirtschaftszeitung Hong Kong Economic Journal unzufrieden war. Nachdem die Hongkonger Journalistenvereinigung davon hörte, dass sich das Verbindungsbüro der Zentralregierung über die Berichterstattung der Hongkonger Wirtschaftszeitung beschwert hatte, verurteilte sie die "offene Verletzung" des "ein Land, zwei Systeme"-Prinzips. Die Internationale Journalisten-Föderation (IFJ) bestätigte diese Vorwürfe und äußerte sich besorgt. Johnny Lau schrieb sowohl gegen Henry Tang als auch CY Leung während der Wahlen für den Geschäftsführer der Zeitung Sing Pao Daily News eine Kritik, in der er meinte, dass weder Tang noch Leung der Unterstützung oder Sympathie würdig seien. Laus Kritik wurde anschließend dahingehend verändert, um Leung zu unterstützen. Ngai Kai-Kwong, Chefredakteur der Zeitschrift, der sowohl Zensur als auch Druck von Seiten des Verbindungsbüros leugnete, tadelte stattdessen die "Sorglosigkeit" bei der Bearbeitung.

Commercial Radio Hong Kong

Ende 2013, als Auftakt der Erneuerung ihrer Sendelizenz, ersetzte der Rundfunkwerbesender Commercial Radio Hong Kong Lee Wai-ling (), die freimütige Kritikerin von CY Leung, die eine einflussreiche Primetime Gesprächsrunde veranstaltet hatte. Lee Wai-ling, schon lange vom Pro-Establishment-Lager wegen ihrer lautstarken Kritik an der Regierung verachtet, wurde schlagartig zu einer weniger prominenten Abendshow abgeschoben. Lee wurde von Stephen Chan Chi-wan, dem Geschäftsführer des Senders, ersetzt, der jede politische Motivationen bestritt. Allerdings sagte ein ehemaliger Medienmanager, dass es "ein offenes Geheimnis" sei, dass Medienbetreiber sich zum Zeitpunkt der Lizenzverlängerung unter erheblichem politischen Druck befinden, und einige offensprechende Programmgastgeber, die die Regierung nicht mag, gezwungen werden zu gehen. Am 12. Februar 2014 verkündete der Commercial Radio Hong Kong, die sofortige Beendigung von Lees Arbeitsvertrag und weigerte sich, irgendwelche Kommentare zur Angelegenheit bekanntzugeben.

Zeitung Ming Pao

Im Januar 2014 wurde Kevin Lau (), Chefredakteur der liberalen Zeitung Ming Pao, abrupt von Chong Tien Siong (), einem unerfahrenen in Singapur ansässigen malaysischen Journalisten ersetzt, der laut The Economist als Pro-Establishment angesehen wird. Als Ergebnis der Entlassung von Lau nahmen Tausende Menschen an einer Protestkundgebung teil. Lau, der für seine strenge Berichterstattung über China bekannt war, wurde am 26. Februar von einer Person, die auf dem Soziussitz eines Motorrades mitfuhr, brutal niedergestochen. Während die Polizei vermutete, dass der Angriff von der Wo-Shing-Wo-Triade durchgeführt worden war, wurde weitgehendst davon ausgegangen, dass es Vergeltungsmaßnahmen waren, aufgrund seines investigativen Beitrags zum Bericht des International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), der über das Offshore-Vermögen chinesischer Führungskräfte berichtete. Darunter befanden sich Angehörige des Generalsekretärs der Kommunistischen Partei Xi Jinping sowie der ehemalige Premier Wen Jiabao und mehrere Mitglieder des Nationalen Volkskongresses. Ming Pao wurde unter Druck gesetzt, die Wichtigkeit eines Berichts über das Tian'anmen-Massakers vom 4. Juni 1989 zurückzustufen.

Angriff auf die Universität in Hongkong

Die Universität Hongkong war durch CY Leung unter Beschuss, der anlässlich seiner politischen Ansprache im Jahr 2015 die Gelegenheit nutzte, um das studentische Gewerkschaftsmagazin Undergrad heftig zu kritisieren. Die Kritik bezog sich auf die Veröffentlichung eines Aufsatzes, in dem Leung selbst geäußert hatte, dass "Hongkong … einen Weg zum Selbstvertrauen und zur Selbstbestimmung finden" sollte. Leung beanstandete dies nun mit der Begründung, dass "die Aussagen, die Bemerkungen, nicht im Einklang mit unserem verfassungsrechtlichen Status sind". Darüber hinaus griff er auch das Buch Hongkong Nationalismus an. Während er leugnete, dass er die Redefreiheit angreifen würde, deutete Leung gleichzeitig an, dass es keine solchen Diskussionen über "entscheidende Verfassungsfragen" geben sollte. Nach dem Angriff durch Leung nahmen drei große Buchhandelsketten unter Pro-Peking-Sino-United-Publishing den Titel aus ihrem Verzeichnis. Wen Wei Po verwendete die Inhalte eines durchgesickerten Berichts der Kommission zur Gewährung von Universitätszuschüssen, um die Kandidatur von Johannes Chan (), einem prominenten Mitglied der Pro-Demokratie-Bewegung, zum Pro-Vizekanzler der Universität zu unterminieren. Laut einem Artikel in der Ming Pao von Kevin Lau haben "Parteien, die eng mit der Regierung verbunden sind," hinter den Kulissen Druck auf Ausschussmitglieder ausgeübt, um Chans Ernennung zu blockieren. Des Weiteren wurde gesagt, dass der Finger dabei direkt auf das Büro des Geschäftsführers gerichtet war.

Radio Television Hongkong (RTHK)

Chan Ka-ming und Shiu Ka-chun, zwei Moderatoren von Radio Television Hong Kong, die sich in der Regenschirm-Revolution hervortaten, wurden entlassen. Der Sender bestritt politische Motive.

Anderer politischer Druck

Bei einer Ballettpremiere im November 2014 berichteten lokale Medien, dass eine Szene, die Bilder aus der Kulturrevolution enthielt, geschnitten worden war; die Produktionsfirma schob es auf einen "technischen Fehler".

Um seine Beteiligung an dem Hongkonger Marathon 2015 zu veröffentlichen, hatte Puma ein Faksimile-Bild der Erkennungsmarke eines Läufers mit der Nummer "D7689" auf seiner Facebook-Seite veröffentlicht. Ein Unterstützer der "liebevollen-Hongkong-Bewegung" erhob Einwände gegen die Nummer und schrieb dem globalen Firmenchef von Puma, es sei dem Geschäftsführer CY Leung gegenüber respektlos, und drohte einen Massenboykott der Sportbekleidung des Unternehmens zu initiieren. Der Beschwerdeführer erklärte, dass "689" der Code des gegenwärtigen Geschäftsführers für die Verwaltungsregion Hongkong der Volksrepublik China sei, der von den Menschen Hongkongs gut verstanden werden würde. Und D7 hätte die ähnliche Phonetik im Chinesischen wie das amerikanische "F…"-Wort. Puma erklärte seine politische Neutralität und zog die "beleidigende" Veröffentlichung zurück. Die Beschwerde verspottend, durchsuchten Bürger Hongkongs die Stadt und fanden viele Beispiele harmloser Vorkommnisse der sogenannten respektlosen Nummer. Mitarbeiter der MTR (Mass Transit Railway – Hongkonger U-Bahn) wurden gewarnt, nachdem an einem Wagen die Kennzeichnung "D689" gefunden wurde, die sie auf ihrer nicht offiziellen U-Bahn-Service-Update-Seite auf Facebook veröffentlicht hatten.

Beschlagnahmungen bei der Demokratischen Partei

Der Zoll des Festlandes hatte eine neue Toilettenpapierlieferung für die Demokratische Partei ohne Angabe der Gründe beschlagnahmt. Verschiedene Arten Papiertaschentücher, einschließlich 7600 Toilettenrollen und 20.000 Pakete Papiertücher, auf denen sich ein Aufdruck befand, der Ähnlichkeit mit CY Leung hatte, und die auf einem Neujahrsmarkt verkauft werden sollten, wurden in Shenzhen beschlagnahmt. Solche Waren waren im Jahr zuvor Verkaufsschlager auf dem Neujahrsmarkt gewesen.

Verlag Up Publications – umstrittene Rücksendungen

Im März 2015 beschwerte sich Up Publications, ein kleiner unabhängiger Verlag, dass er plötzlich und unerwartet mit einer großen und unerklärlichen Anzahl Rücksendungen konfrontiert war, die aus den drei wichtigsten Tochtergesellschaften des Pro-Peking-Verlags Sino United Publishing kamen. Zwanzig Titel waren von den Rücksendungen betroffen, wodurch für Up Publications ein ernsthafter finanzieller Schaden entstand. Viele der zurückgesendeten Titel enthielten keine politischen Themen. Dem Verlag wurde angeblich von einer Buchhandlungsquelle gesagt, dass sein Standpunkt bei den Protesten in Hongkong 2014 und seine Veröffentlichung von Büchern, die die Regenschirm-Bewegung unterstützten, für diese Rücksendung verantwortlich gewesen wären. Obwohl kein Grund für die Retoure angegeben worden war, handelten zwei der zurückgesendeten Bücher von der Besetzung, und waren bei unabhängigen Buchhandlungen Verkaufsschlager.

"Entführungen" beim Verlag Mighty Current

Mighty Current ist ein Verlag, der politisch sensible Bücher veröffentlicht – solche, die die Führer in Festlandchina kritisieren und ihre persönlichen Geheimnisse offenbaren – und diese in einem Buchladen namens Causeway Bay Books verkauft. Im Oktober 2015 verschwanden bei Mighty Current fast gleichzeitig vier Menschen  aus dem Verlag. Darunter befand sich Autor Gui Min-hai, der Enthüllungsbücher über Chinas Kommunistische Partei schrieb; ein weiter war Lam Wing-kee, ein einfacher Angestellter, der seinen Buchladen Causeway Bay an den Verlag verkauft hatte.

Zwei der Männer wurden zuletzt in Shenzhen gesehen, einer in Hongkong, von einem anderen wurde zuletzt aus Thailand gehört. Diese Nachricht erschütterte die lokale Verlagsbranche, und der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Hongkonger Allianz zur Unterstützung der patriotischen demokratischen Bewegung in China sagte, dass es schwer sei, "das Verschwinden der vier Personen nicht mit Pekings Unterdrückung der verbotenen Bücher in Verbindung zu bringen". Die Fahndung der Polizei wurde einen Monat lang fortgeführt.

Im Dezember 2015 verschwand ein fünftes Mitglied des Verlags auf mysteriöse Weise, und zwar der Verlagsleiter Lee Bo. Lee wurde zuletzt in den frühen Abendstunden in seinem Warenlager in Chai Wan gesehen, in dem er eine Bestellung für mehrere Bücher bearbeitete. Lee Bos Frau erhielt später einen Anruf von ihm. Der Anruf kam aus Shenzhen, und Lee sprach untypisch in Hochchinesisch (Standardchinesisch). Die Tatsache, dass er seine Rückkehrberechtigung zu Hause gelassen hatte, führte zu der Befürchtung, dass er irgendwie vom Staatssicherheitsbüro des Festlandes entführt und nach Shenzhen ausgeliefert worden war. Laut Hongkonger Allianz zur Unterstützung der patriotischen demokratischen Bewegung in China ist das jüngste Verschwinden auf die bevorstehende Veröffentlichung eines Buches über das Leben von Xi Jinping zurückzuführen, das Einzelheiten seines Intimlebens beinhalten soll.

Peking nahm zu dem Verschwinden der fünf Personen Stellung und behauptete, dass diese nicht gegen ihren Willen festgenommen oder sogar entführt worden waren. Im Gegenteil seien sie den Sicherheitsbehörden "freiwillige und voller Reue in die Arme gelaufen". So bestätigten es die Fünf auch, als sie im Februar 2016 im chinanahen TV-Sender Phoenix zu ihrer Lage interviewt wurden. Lam Wing-Kee gestand vor der Kamera gegen Chinesische Gesetze verstoßen zu haben und war bereit, dafür "bestraft zu werden". Alle fünf beteuerten, China freiwillig bei ihren Ermittlungen "assistieren" zu wollen.

Die Erklärungen der fünf Männer wurden allgemein als erzwungen betrachtet, doch fehlten konkrete Beweise für diese Vermutung. Dies änderte sich am 16. Juni 2016, als Lam Wing-kee in Hongkong eine Pressekonferenz abhielt. Lam erklärte, dass er im Oktober seine Freundin besuchen wollte und an der Grenze festgenommen und nach Ningbo verschleppt wurde und fünf Monate in Einzelhaft verbrachte. Beamten probten dann mit ihm ein falsches Geständnis, das er vor der Kamera vortragen sollte: "Sie gaben mir das Drehbuch und ich musste ihm folgen. Wenn ich davon abwich, wurde sie Szene neu gedreht." Laut Lam ließen ihn die Behörden nach Hongkong zurückreisen, da sie an seine Kooperation glaubten und ihn beauftragt hatten, "eine Festplatte mit den Kundendaten der Buchhandlung zu beschaffen". Lam berichtete auch, dass er Verleger Lee Bo getroffen habe und dieser ihm erzählt hätte, dass er auf Hongkonger Territorium verschleppt worden sei. Am Tag nach der Pressekonferenz wurde dies auf der Facebook-Seite von Lee, der sich noch in Festlandchina befinden soll, dementiert.

I can verify in my cookies tab of the devtools in the browser that the cookies have in fact not been sent over.
So either its my django code. Or my domain is completely set wrong. Or its really stinky and it's something else.
from this resource it appears I am setting the Domain attribute correctly
