Rahul Puri has stepped in as MD for Mukta Arts Ltd
Mukta Arts Ltd. has appointed its Executive Director, Rahul Puri as the new MD for the company. Subhash Ghai shall work in the power of Chairman of the media and Entertainment Company. The company has welcomed this transformation as a way to introduce constructive innovations and a positive sign of things to come.
Also in a filing to the BSE, the board of the company decided to conform with the provisions of Section 203 of the Companies Act, 2013 as per which an individual cannot be Chairman and MD of the company at the same time. Mukta Arts has taken this as a practical stride under its wings. Thus the decision was made.
The BSE-listed Mukta Arts is largely into movie production and distribution business and now have entered the movie exhibition business with Mukta A2 Cinemas.
Subhash Ghai on Rahul Puri on taking charge as Managing Director of Mukta Arts Ltd. "After working for 30 years as Managing director of Mukta Arts I feel pleased today that the responsible chair of managing director of Mukta Arts Ltd has been entrusted to Mr Rahul Puri by board of directors in our last board meeting. I share this collective decision proudly since like others, I am aware of capacity and capability of Mr Rahul Puri who has been working with Mukta Arts for years as a Director. Rahul Puri is a man of great integrity, quality and responsibility and possesses a complete knowledge of this business in terms of art, commerce and finance.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Releasing In PS5's Launch Window
Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was a showpiece game for the PlayStation 5 debut, with a dimension-hopping mechanic that demonstrates how the SSD can be used to impact the game experience. During Gamescom Opening Night Live, we got a new look at the game and learned a bit more about how Insomniac is taking advantage of the PS5's increased horsepower.
The ONL gameplay demo was an extended version of the one featured during the PS5 reveal event this past June. Early on in the demo, Ratchet inadvertently shoots Dr. Nefarious's Dimensionator, causing dimensional rifts to appear everywhere. Ratchet quickly learns how to use these rifts to his benefit; the lombax can use his new Rift Tether to grapple glowing yellow rifts and pull himself into them, reaching new platforms. You can watch the full gameplay demo below.
Following the demo, Gamescom ONL host Geoff Keighley spoke with Insomniac's Mike Daly and Marcus Smith, who shed a bit more light on the upcoming game. According to Insomniac, the PS5's horsepower allows the team to fill the game world with density and life. Players also won't experience any load screens at all during the game.
In terms of story, Insomniac says Rift Apart is an "extension" of Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, although the game also serves as a standalone adventure, so you don't need to have played any previous entries to enjoy it. That said, Insomniac teases that there will be returning characters and other nods to previous games that longtime fans will appreciate.
Just like the debut trailer, the Rift Apart gameplay demo ended with another look at a mysterious new female lombax. Insomniac didn't share any further details about her, but the studio reconfirmed that she'll be playable in the game. Rift Apart has also been used as an example of how developers are using the unique qualities of the PS5 DualSense controller. One weapon, the Enforcer, will deliver a bigger blast if you push past the resistance from the adaptive triggers.
Ratchet & Clank does not have a release date, but Insomniac confirmed that the game will arrive within PS5's launch window. Sony hasn't revealed a release date or price for the system, but that should be coming sometime soon. Given that Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is also planned to launch around the console's release date, developer Insomniac certainly looks to be keeping busy. It became a first-party PlayStation studio about a year ago after having primarily developed games for Sony already.
The company recently opened pre-registration for the next-gen console.

The summer issue of Aperture magazine considers the influence of photography on leading filmmakers, and the role of cinema in the work of artists and photographers.
Most prisons and jails across the United States do not allow prisoners to have access to cameras. At a moment when 2.2 million people are incarcerated in the US, 3.8 million people are on probation, and 870,000 former prisoners are on parole, how can images tell the story of mass incarceration when the imprisoned don't have control over their own representation? Organized with the scholar Nicole R. Fleetwood, an expert on art's relation to incarceration, the Spring issue of Aperture magazine addresses the unique role photography plays in creating a visual record of a national crisis.
The Winter edition of Aperture magazine is a landmark issue dedicated to the representation of transgender lives, communities, and histories in photography. Guest edited by Zackary Drucker, the artist, activist, and producer of the acclaimed television series Transparent, "Future Gender" considers how trans and gender-nonconforming individuals have used photography to imagine new expressions of social and personal identity, from the nineteenth century to today.
Aperture's Fall 2017 issue investigates the role of style, dress, and beauty in the formation of individual identity.

Q: Change file name to uniqid in PHP I am looking to modify my code below to accept a randomly generated unique id to replace the name using php uniqid function. I have tried a couple ways with no success.
 move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
 "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
 $ipath = "upload/";
 $ipath .= $_FILES["file"]["name"];

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Edit: I am asking where to put the uniqid function so that the file is stored with the uniqid.extension in the folder on my server.

A: move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
    "upload/" . uniqid());

or, if you want to keep the file extension:
$fileInfo = pathinfo($_FILES["file"]["name"]);

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
    "upload/" . uniqid() . '.' . $fileInfo['extension']);

\\edit: to use the $ipath variable...
$fileInfo = pathinfo($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$ipath = "upload/" . uniqid() . '.' . $fileInfo['extension'];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $ipath);

A: $newName = md5_file($ipath);

Will generate the md5 of the file content, should be pretty unique.

A: $aaa = uniqid();
$Image_New_Name = $aaa."_".basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"] );
$target_dir = "upload/".$Image_New_Name;

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    //$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"] );

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["tmp_name"], $target_dir )) {
        echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]) ." has been uploaded.";
        echo "<br/>";
    }

    $id       = $_POST['id'];
    $fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    $email    = $_POST['email'];
    $gender   = $_POST['gender'];
    $about_me = $_POST['about_me'];
    $state    = $_POST['state'];
    $country  = $_POST['country'];

    if($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"] != "") {
        $image = $_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"];
    } else {
        $image='BlankFaceGraphic.jpg';
    }

    $sql="insert into register(id,fullname,password,email,gender,about_me,state,country,image)
                        values

PENN STATE SUES TO PURCHASE FORMER PHI DELTA THETA CHAPTER HOUSE
ARGUMENT HELD IN U. OF FLORIDA CHRISTIAN FRATERNITY APPEAL
JUICYCAMPUS.COM CREATES QUESTIONS, AND HEADACHES
GENDER THEN AND GENDER NOW: WHAT HAPPENS IF
FRATERNITIES MUST NOTIFY MEMBERS AFFECTED BY COMPUTER SECURITY BREACHES
Default Judgment In Texas Set Aside
DEATH LEADS TO CHARGES AT UTAH STATE
Newsletter > January 2009 > "PENN STATE SUES TO PURCHASE FORMER PHI DELTA THETA CHAPTER HOUSE"
On November 25, 2008, Penn State sued the former Pennsylvania Theta Chapter of the Phi Delta Fraternity and its current house corporation, 240 North Burrowes Road Alumni Association, in the Court of Common Pleas of Centre County, Pennsylvania.1
As detailed in the September 2008 issue of Fraternal Law, Phi Delta Theta suspended the charter of its former chapter at Penn State in December of 2007 following a string of violations of the fraternity's Alcohol-Free Housing Policy. After first placing the undergraduate members of the former chapter on alumni status, Phi Delta Theta ultimately expelled the bulk of the students for violating terms and conditions outlined by the national organization. Six of the former members of the chapter sued Phi Delta Theta, seeking, among other things: 1) the return of Pennsylvania Theta Chapter's Charter; 2) a reversal of the individual expulsions; and 3) a declaration that Phi Delta Theta improperly adopted its Alcohol-Free Housing Policy. The trial court ruled in favor of Phi Delta Theta on all points.
The former chapter house is still being used for members of the former Phi Delta Theta Chapter, as well as for another fraternity at Penn State.
One of the reasons the plaintiffs cited for their need for an injunction against Phi Delta Theta was a clause in the 1905 deed from Penn State that transferred title to a plot of land where the former Phi Delta Theta Chapter's house still stands. Specifically, the deed provides the following:
…AND WHEREAS the lot of fround [sic] herein described is conveyed to the party of the second part for the express purpose of erecting thereon a fraternity or chapter house for the use of the members of The Pennsylvania Theta Chapter of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity at the Pennsylvania State College, AND WHEREAS a building for the purposes herein referred to is now being erected upon the said land, it is distinctly understood and agreed that the said building and the premises hereby conveyed are to be used and exclusively for the uses and purposes of the said fraternity and of the members thereof, now and at all times hereafter; and if, for any reason, the said premises should cease to be used as a chapter or fraternity house for the use, benefit and behoof of said party of the second part hereto, then and in that event the said party of the first part reserves the right to purchase the said premises at any time within five years at two-thirds of the actual cost of the building now being erected upon the lot herein conveyed, and after the period of five years, at a price which may be agreed upon by the party of the first part and the party of the second part hereto, their successors and assigns, respectively; or, in case the said parties cannot agree upon a price for the same, the same to be fixed and determined by arbitrators mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, their successors and assigns….
Penn State now argues that because the subject property is no longer a chapter of Phi Delta Theta, it "has the right to repurchase the premises at a price mutually agreed to by the parties, or in the alternative, should the parties be unable to agree on a price, to have the purchase price set by arbitrators mutually agreed to by the parties." Penn State alleged that litigation was necessary because the defendants have refused to sell the house back to the University. Penn State is asking, "that the Court direct the premises described in the Deed of 1905 be transferred to Penn State and that the Court appoint one or more arbitrators to determine the sale price for a transfer of the premises at issue or by such other method as the Court may direct."
As of press time, the Defendants have not yet filed a response or answer to the complaint. Look for updates in future issues of Fraternal Law as the case proceeds.

On February 2, the groundhog told us that spring will arrive soon. But don't fear – the sledding days are not yet over. If you are looking to maximize your snowmobiling adventures or to try the activity for the first time before the snow disappears, then this is for you.
Like any other activity, it is important to understand the risks and how to prevent injury. In this case I'm not talking about injuries from accidents, although that is still very important to take precautions to avoid. My focus is instead on the aches and pains you may experience throughout your body.
Snowmobiles have come a long way from the original 20 ton machine that was first designed for log hauling, with most modern machines weighing over 500 lbs and able to reach speeds of 110 mph (Heisler 2010). With prolonged time on the machine you are exposed to awkward positions for your upper body, long periods of sitting with a forward bent posture, and vibration stresses. Not to mention the heavy lifting, pulling, and pushing when you need to get out of a jam. Common aches and pains from riding are the low back, neck, shoulder and the occurrence of white-finger syndrome (Heisler 2010).
I'm not suggesting you quit your sport! There are certain factors that can be modified to prevent you from injury, and to keep you more comfortable.
A factor to the aches and strains is the ergonomics of a snowmobile. One of the most important parts to adjust is the steering bar (Rehn et al. 2005). Ideally it should be close enough to your body and have the grips oriented in a way so that your wrists aren't bent, your shoulders aren't hiked up and you do not have to reach so far forward. This will put you in a more comfortable posture for your upper limbs and your lower back, as well as lowering the grip force you need to use. Specific positions are to have your wrists neutral, elbows bent 60-70 degrees and if you have a seat back, for it to be tilted back 45 degrees (Heisler 2010). Grips should ideally be about 1.5" in diameter to lessen the grip strength required to steer (Heisler 2010). When looking at buying a snowmobile, also consider its seat suspension. Whole-body vibration, which will occur even on groomed trails, puts the discs in your back at risk for injury (Bovenzi and Hulshof 1999).
Avoid sitting too long in poor posture: When you sit, you lose the normal curve in your low back. This is made worse by bending forward. The posture in combination with the machine's vibration puts the discs at risk of injury. When possible, alter how you sit so that you back isn't arched so much.
Wear appropriately warm mitts: Vibration of the upper limb, along with cold exposure, can contribute to the occurrence of "white-finger syndrome" which increases the chances of frostbite. It will also affect your ability to grip properly (Heisler 2010). To minimize this risk, stay warm!
Keep strong: Think of sledding as you would another sport – one that requires strength and endurance. Keep your body fit, and flexible, during the week to prepare you for the weekend adventures.
Listen to your body: If you're getting fatigued, it's time for a break. That is when you have a greater chance of adopting poor postures, or hurting yourself with the sudden jolts and turns.
And of course, listen to your body if you're experiencing pain. Delayed onset of muscle soreness, DOMS, has been reported to last about 1-3 days after snowmobiling (Heisler 2010), but if it extends beyond that, or if you're finding you're getting weak (a loss of grip strength is commonly reported) – seek out care from a health professional.
Enjoy the rest of the sledding season, have fun, and stay injury-free!


Discussion in 'Cards: Strategy and Rulings Discussion' started by DelcattyEX, Jan 31, 2008.
I wondering if there are any from DP series that can attach :fire: energys to a pokemon, free.
attaches a fire energy fromthe discard to a benched pokemon.
Use Typhlosion for Fire Starter, which lets you get a fire energy from the discard pile and attach it directly to a bench pokemon. Its best to use it in combination with energy draw Delcatty (from EX: PK).
Typhlosion gets the energy after (If it was fire) and attaches it to bench.
There is also Blaziken from Power Keepers (Originally printed in EX: Ruby & Sapphire) which has the same exact Poke-Power as Typhlosion from Mysterious Treasures. However, Typhlosion is almost always the top pick since it has a better attack, improved weakness, and more HP.
Typhlosion is the best if you have somthing that discards. If not then you could try out Togekiss, though I'm not sure how good it is.

How Will You Spend Your Longer Summer?
This Memorial Day, the Maryland Tourism Coalition (MTC) encourages families to visit the many historic battlefields and war memorials throughout our state and to take a moment to reflect on these outstanding Americans.
Memorial Day is a time to honor the memories of all service members who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our great country. Memorial Day Weekend is also the "unofficial" start of summer. Thanks to an early end of the school year because of our mild winter for most school systems and starting school after Labor Day, Summer 2017 should be a record setting season for our many small and family-owned tourism businesses.
As previously reported in a 2013 study prepared by the Maryland Board of Revenue Estimates, starting the school year after Labor Day could result in as much as $75 million in additional direct economic activity.
These revenues are critically needed dollars for our state budget to re-invest in our priority areas and make Maryland the best state in the nation to live, work, raise a family, and of course, play.
To help kick off the summer season, MTC would like to share with you some of reasons tourism works for Maryland,
#10: Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center, Cambridge
The newest Maryland state park, the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center provides visitors with a rare opportunity to reflect on the importance of Harriet Tubman's legacy and retrace her quest for freedom. This one-of-a-kind attraction promises to bring people from around the world to rural Dorchester County. Explore beautiful natural landscapes and low-lying marshes where Tubman not only escaped from slavery, but also escorted other slaves to freedom along the network of secret routes and safe houses. Tubman returned to Maryland — risking her own freedom — multiple times, ultimately leading approximately 70 people out of bondage, according to historians. The Visitor Center and the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway are a must see attraction this summer.
#9: Maryland's Other 52 State Parks
The Harriet Tubman center and its surrounding property became Maryland's 53rd state park when it opened this spring. Maryland is blessed to have so many state protected lands available for public enjoyment – from hiking nearly 3,000 feet up in Dan's Mountain State Park in Western Maryland to paddling the river trail at sea level in Janes Island State Park on the lower Eastern Shore, our state parks definitely showcase "America in Miniature!" MTC celebrates our state parks not only for their $650 million in economic impact, but for offering world-class recreation and relaxation for visitors and locals alike for more than 100 years. Best of all, nearly every Marylander is just minutes away from a Maryland State Park.
#8: Eat and Drink Maryland Style
The largest slice of Maryland's tourism pie is a category we call Culinary Tourism. This is really just a fancy way of saying eating and drinking while traveling. And boy do we have this one covered. With the blue crab population bursting along with the number of brewery barrels produced on the rise in Maryland, our visitors will be picking and toasting all over Maryland. Eating and drinking Maryland-style is not only the top activity enjoyed by visitors who come to Maryland, us locals are also pretty fond of our food. So wherever you are in Maryland, you are never far from your favorite crab house or one of Maryland's outstanding wineries, breweries or distilleries. So go ahead and sprinkle on more Old Bay –because you won't stay thirsty for long my friends.
#7: Maryland's Historic Battlefields and War Memorials
Maryland is home to many pivotal battles of the American Revolution, Civil War and more. Take a moment to reflect on the service to our great country by the service members who fought for our freedom. Also, you can visit many war memorials in Maryland, including the World War II Memorial overlooking the United States Naval Academy and historic Downtown Annapolis at the base of the U.S, Naval Academy Scenic Severn River Bridge (MD 450).
#6: Maryland's Main Streets
From Easton to Ellicott City to St. Mary's City, our main street and their unique merchants have so much to offer aside from quaint and historic architecture. Maryland's Main Streets and downtown districts are sought-after areas by visitors who are looking for the unique qualities of an area and an authentic experience. Visitors spend more than $17 billion in small businesses every year sustaining the mom and pop shops that we Marylanders sometimes take for granted. When most everything can be bought online these days, MTC is grateful to the many Maryland small businesses that are attracting thousands of visitors to Main Streets across our state!
#5: Maryland's Heritage Areas
MTC extends a big shout out to the 13 Maryland Heritage Areas and the hundreds of individuals, businesses, non-profit organizations, and governments that continue to form partnerships and regional collaborations to preserve the best of Maryland's historic sites, towns and enduring traditions. Visitors who travel to Maryland for heritage tourism are likely to stay twice as long and spend more money.
#4 IPW – Maryland Welcomes the World
In early June, the United States Travel Association's IPW, an international travel event, will take place in the Capital Region, which creates an opportunity to sell Maryland to a global marketplace right here in our own backyard. Travel buyers from 1,000 countries and six different continents will be exploring the Capitol Region including Maryland and could book as much as $4.7 billion in travel for the United States. With the current state of travel in a precarious situation, the timing couldn't be better for the United States to welcome the world and boost this $2 trillion dollar industry in America. The Maryland Office of Tourism will be fully engaged in this event and has been working for more than two years on its plans to promote Maryland at IPW.
#3: A Longer Summer for Maryland
Thanks to years of perseverance by industry professionals and business owners, and with the support of State Senator Jim Mathias of Ocean City, Comptroller Peter Franchot, and Governor Larry Hogan, Marylanders will now have an extra two weeks or more to enjoy the many splendors of summer. Regardless of any increase in tourism revenues, you cannot put a price on the value of having more time to spend with family. So go ahead and make those travel plans for August because there'll be plenty of time now for back to school shopping.
#2: A Maryland Economic Engine
Tourism is the tenth largest private sector employer in Maryland with payroll topping $5.7 billion each year. Tourism revenue topped $17 billion in 2015 an increase of 3.5 percent from the year before generating nearly $2.3 billion in state and local tax revenues. More than 40.5 million people visited Maryland in 2015 an increase of six percent from 2014. The power of tourism is so much more than statistics and tax revenues! But don't take our word for it, explore Maryland for yourself and create and share your own Top Tourism Spots in the Old Line State.
#1: The Many Faces of Tourism
Our #1 reason to celebrate all things tourism is the many faces of tourism in our state the 143,000-person workforce that pushes our industry forward every day. You know what we're talking about: the front desk clerk that welcomed you after along plane ride or the shop owner who shared a personal story about his family-owned business. There's also the restaurant manager who worked double shifts that day, and the tour guide who brought a historic neighborhood to life. This summer, be a visitor in your own backyard. Maryland's many attractions are looking forward to seeing YOUR face.

Renting a house with other people does work for many people, but sometimes it can be a nightmare. If you do rent a house with other people, you will want to make sure that everyone's name is on the lease agreement. This protects everyone involved from any future misunderstandings. Even the best of friends can have a falling out when they live together. When renting an apartment with others, everyone has a role in the rent, utilities, apartment care and yard care if you have access to one. Signing a lease with everyone who lives in the apartment will ensure that each person is responsible for his or her share of the rent.
This does not always work out well if someone does not pay his or her share of the rent. Even though one person is not paying their share, you will still have come up with that portion of the rent yourself. The property owner still needs to receive payment. This part of the lease will protect you in any court proceedings to collect back rent yourself. If you are renting an apartment with two or more people and one moves out, you can find someone else to take their place and request a new lease agreement to be signed from the property owner.
This way everyone is still protected from any misdoings. Most property owners will do a standard check on the new person and either accept them or deny them as a potential tenant. Renting an apartment with others is one way for people to save money and be able to move out of their parent's house or some other living arrangement. If you do live with other people, you need to share the responsibilities of house cleaning, yard work and share the expenses of all bills associated with the apartment such as utilities and food. Not all people, no matter how good of friends they are can live together, therefore, you might have to make some adjustments in order for everyone to be happy. Then everyone should do well living together and sharing expenses for everything. People who rent apartment apartments with other people usually want it to be someone they know well. In some cases, you might be better off renting an apartment with other people whom you do not know. This way, if something does not work out, you do not lose friends and start problems within your current circle of friends. If you have to take someone to court to claim back rent or payment of utility bills, it will be easier if it is not a friend.
Either way, when renting an apartment with other people, you should have everything in writing and leave nothing out. This way everyone knows what he or she is responsible for their share of what and what they can and cannot do. This is done to protect all persons living in a shared apartment or house. College students have more issues than others because there are sometimes five or six people sharing a house while going to school. .

I am hearing a lot of despair lately, so I would like to share this story with you.
In the early 1990s, when I was international news editor at The Guardian Newsweekly, we hired a bookkeeper named Frances. Being a political newspaper run by the staff, our interviews were a mix of questions about competency and politics, as well as determining whether the person could really live on an annual salary of $13,000 in New York City. Frances was an old commie. She had joined the Communist Party USA during the World War Two era when it was a mass movement with hundreds of thousands of committed cadre and its influence was felt throughout society, particularly in theater, Hollywood, publishing, and all the arts.
When we asked Frances about her politics, about the crisis in the Left, about the failures of actually existing socialism, she gave the same response. Shaking a veiny fist in the air, Frances declared, "Socialism will win!" We chuckled, and we hired her. We desperately needed a bookkeeper, and she was willing to work for peanuts.
Frances would punctuate her sentences with "hoo-hahs!" picked up in New York's tenements as a kid during the Great Depression. Frances said the boys used to fancy her back in the day, so she had a method to weed out the pretenders from the contenders. She would take them to a Communist Party meeting to see if they were worthy of her interest, but usually decided if she liked them by the time they finished walking over to the CP hall. At The Guardian, she kept a large mason jar of digestible fiber on her desk that looked like wood chips that she would prescribe for every ill real or imagined. "Really cleans you out!", she would bellow in a raspy Brooklyn accent. Frances was bony, had enormous pendulous breasts, and would regularly dress and undress at her desk oblivious to coworkers in our open office.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, following the disastrous Communist Party coup against Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991, the entire cover of The Guardian was a photograph of a sewage drain with the Kremlin in the background. When Frances saw that she muttered all day, "Socialism down the drain. Hoo-hah!" To Frances, the idea that socialism was kaput made about as much sense as saying the sun wasn't going to rise tomorrow.
That's not what we were saying. We were saying the Soviet system was over. The Guardian, along with nearly all the American Left, had broken with the Soviet Union decades earlier. We saw the Soviet Union as a bastardization of what socialism can and should be, though we admired Gorbachev for bringing an end to the Cold War and trying to reform a failing system.
We supported Third World revolutions, the well-known ones, Vietnam, Cuba, Nicaragua, South Africa, and Palestine, and obscure ones from Western Sahara to East Timor. But as much as we opposed Soviet-style socialism and capitalism in equal measure, we didn't realize how the collapse of the USSR would remove the last bulwark against American-led capitalism. The end of the Soviet Union quickly led nearly all the revolutionary post-colonial states to collapse or make deals with the devil to cling to power.
Frances never gave up the faith. She also didn't work out as a bookkeeper. She was hiding the books from our business manager because they were a mess. Attempts to work out the conflict didn't go anywhere. But one day, as two of us who were part of the elected leadership tried to mediate the conflict, she piped up, "Well, if you want me to resign, I'll resign!" We were dumbfounded because we were used to threats and pleas and crying from incompetent staff. When you pay barely a thousand bucks a month, you don't get the cream of the crop.
We weren't stupid and immediately accepted her resignation. Frances was a good Communist to the end. She would sacrifice herself no questions asked because the collective struggle was all that mattered.
I've been thinking about Francis. We are in a time of profound despair. I know Francis would be keeping the faith. She lived through the long night of McCarthyism. It's hard these days to understand how devastating that was. I've heard many stories from boomers about the lives of parents ruined and destroyed. McCarthyism was a society-wide purge. Thousands lost jobs as educators, professionals, union organizers, journalists, farmers. Many saw marriages crumble, lost homes, were forced into poverty, drank themselves to an early grave, and even committed suicide.
This was a time when the planet also stood on the brink of annihilation from the threat of nuclear war. But rays of light did appear, first with the civil rights movement. Then with the student and antiwar movements, followed by Black liberation, feminism, gay liberation, the environmental movement.
The heady feeling on the Left in the late sixties and early seventies is also hard to imagine these days One editor, who was involved in the leading student organization of the time, Students for a Democratic Society, summed it up as, "We had the bastards on the run." The militarists, the CEOs, the politicians, the priests were all running scared and didn't know what to make of this rebellion sweeping across their societies and the world.
Today it feels like the bastards are winning. America is scary: the rise of a strongman in the White House who is carrying out ethnic cleansing of undesirable religious and ethnic groups, encouraging rampant misogyny and violence by his followers, and pouring fracked gasoline on a world already on the funeral pyre.
But over many years of political involvement, I developed my own faith. I'm not sure socialism will win, even though I absolutely believe it's the only hope for humanity. I know most species will not survive the next century, though fears of a total collapse misunderstand how evolution works. We can't kill all life on the planet, though we can reduce it to pests and weeds such as jellyfish, rats, cockroaches, and invasive plants.
I know. That's small comfort. But even after years of reporting on the worst of humanity. I still believe in the innate human capacity to do good. I don't believe in a sky god. Not that I have an issue with that. As a young activist I got arrested as part of the Central American solidarity movement with radical Catholics like Daniel Berrigan and Elizabeth McAlister. That gave me respect for people of spiritual faith even if it's not my cup of tea. Of course, blind faith is dangerous. It's led to some of the worst atrocities in human history.
Nor do I subscribe to the leftist belief that there is a design to history, such as what Francis believed. My faith stems from our nature as social animals. Even in a dog-eat-dog society like America, our lives are based on cooperation and sharing whether at home or work or even shopping or driving. We depend on cooperation in every facet of our lives. We just don't think of it because we have a media that highlights competition and conflict because that's how they make money, even though those moments are relatively rare in our lives.
Trump will pass soon from the stage, as horrifying as he is. How else to describe someone who has created concentration camps for children, demonizes an entire religion of more than one billion people, and decades ago paid for full-page ads calling for the lynching of innocent Black children, the Central Park 5? Though I am less sanguine about the quick passing of violent white nationalism Trump has brought into being.
I am seeing despair all around. Every day I log on to Facebook and Twitter, I see friends full of despair about the global turn towards fascism, the assaults on basic freedoms and dignity, and the deepening ecological crisis.
But keep the faith. Keep the faith in the human capacity for compassion and understanding and generosity, and we will get through this together.

The Jewish Question
History of a Marxist Debate
by Enzo Traverso
For figures ranging from Karl Marx to the luminaries of the Frankfurt School, the 'Jewish Question' — a set of problems related to emancipation and anti-Semitism, cultural assimilation and Zionism — raised significant controversies within Marxist theory. Renowned scholar Enzo Traverso carefully reconstructs this intellectual debate that runs over more than a century, discussing both its generative aspects and its blind alleys. In The Jewish Question: History of a Marxist Debate, Traverso explores the causes and the forms of the encounter that took place, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the Holocaust, between the intelligentsia of a cosmopolitan minority and the most radical ideological current of Western modernity.
This is the second edition, completely rewritten and updated, of a book already translated into many languages (originally published in French, then translated into English, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Turkish).
"This is a rich, complex, fascinating, if at times difficult, intellectual history that brings to life an old debate that is still very topical and relevant today."
–Deborah Maccoby, Jewish Voice for Labour

Q: Is there a way to tell the difference between a direct connection and network connection I want to configure a linux(ubuntu) machine such that when a direct connection is made with another PC my machine will enable a DHCP server and serve it an IP address, but if my machine is connected to a network with an existing DHCP server I want make sure my DHCP server is disabled and obtain an IP-address from the networks DHCP server.
If there are any better ways to manage the direct connection than having my own dhcp server, great.  The only thing is that I do not want to use static IP addresses or force the external computer to use a static IP addresses.
So heres the two situations:
1.
Us DHCP to serve an address to the PC
Linux box ------------- PC
2.
Obtain an address automatically from the network
Linux box ------------- network
I want to automatically do the appropriate thing depending on what my machine gets connected to.

Our newest DFS game to introduce this week is none other than, Drafters!
Founded in 2016, these Toronto, Ontario natives have changed the game by offering a new spin on DFS. Drafters is unique because they offer yearly, weekly, and daily live snake drafts.
Rather than drafting a team with players that everyone shares, they offer the chance to draft your team live against other competitors to see who finishes on top! Contests are available for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and PGA.
When joining a contest, depending on the size of the room, you will be given a certain amount of time before the room fills. This gives you the chance to change-up your queued players. You can even get a notification straight to your phone as soon as all players have joined you contest. Once the room has filled the draft is live. Players are then ordered into a snake draft format. At that point you will be taking turns picking players for that given contest until your roster is full.
The scoring is similar to other DFS games in which you get a various amount of fantasy points when your player records certain stats. You can also swap your current players for any available players before game time. Once all of the sporting events have ended for that contest, the team with the most fantasy points in your draft wins. There's no salary cap. No shared players. You draft a team that's all your own and win.
One of the newest features to Drafters is the auto player swap ability. Sometimes players are game time decisions. Sometimes the ones you draft are a late scratch. On Drafters they have a system in place to prevent this from killing you lineup. If you have a player that is switched to out or their projection is reduced to zero then they are automatically switched out with the next player on your list or the next highest projected available player. This prevents your lineup from being tainted by a last second game status decision.
You can create private games with custom settings. They even have a personalized sports news feed within their web app. You can filter the news that comes across this feed based on your interests. It will also alert you of injuries to key players. This includes the ones on your current rosters which is key for any DFS player.
Buy-ins for rooms are $0.11 all the way up to $215. Drafters offers free-roll contests from time to time and every Friday. A great bonus to players is that they give out memorabilia once in a while such as jerseys, helmets, and sports gear. You are allowed to deposit up to $100 including a 50% first time deposit bonus. You can deposit using a credit card or Paypal. To withdraw you must have $20 minimum available balance and your funds can be sent by Paypal, Check, or a money transfer via email for Canadian players. As a referral bonus, any friends that sign up, you get $5 in bonus cash and they get a 75% bonus on their first deposit.
The best way to be notified of these great contests outside of the lobby would be to follow them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube. To join Drafters click here.

Social Media Roundup: Headshots and Haircuts!
It's all about the old and the new this Social Media Roundup. Our alumni have been reminiscing about the good old days with some cute #OldHeadshotDay posts and celebrating the new beginnings with haircuts and movie sneak peeks!
Judging by this photo, it's possible that pink was favorite a color of Emma Watson's back in the day.
Staying in the Granger-Weasley family, Cherelle Skeete, who originated the role of Rose Granger-Weasley in the West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, also shared some of her old headshots.
Although not for #OldHeadshotDay, Afshan Azad (Padma Patil) posted a cute throwback to celebrate the beginnings of summer. Look at how little she is!
Warwick Davis showcased a rather distinctive haircut in his old headshot, which was taken when he was only 18 years old.
While we think Warwick looks great in this old snap, it seems that his daughter Annabelle had a rather different opinion!
On the subject of hairstyles, Evanna has chopped her locks! She showed off her new, much shorter, hairdo on Instagram.
It's alllllll gonnnneee!!! ✂??♀ And no, for those of you asking, I did not donate it to charity. I tied it in a ponytail and strung it above my bed like a Dothraki warrior. ??♀ Thank you wonderful @rhbyrne for getting it right!
Away from the world of haircuts and headshots, the Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald cast attended CinemaCon 2018 in Las Vegas. Fans were treated to new footage from the film, including a glimpse of Nicolas Flamel!
Regram from @wbpictures: From the Wizarding World to #CinemaCon2018. The cast of #FantasticBeasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has arrived!

The 39 Steps - Show of The Month
by Oliver Mitford on Friday 9 May 2014, 9:15 am	in Show of the Month
The 39 Steps strikes the perfect balance between utter farce and intelligent wit at the Criterion Theatre.
Since director Richard Baron staged The 39 Steps at Perth Theatre in 1998, the production has been on a journey as long and involved as that of the story's protagonist, Richard Hannay, when he stumbles across an international spy conspiracy in John Buchan's thriller.
The story of The 39 Steps starts back when Baron used Simon Corbie and Nobby Dimon's adaptation of John Buchan's 1915 novel of The Thirty-Nine Steps to create a small-scale production that toured to village halls. Baron had the insight to mix the styling of Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 film version with the current stage adaptation to create a spoof of the thrilling tale, filled with gags and farcical comedy, all coming from the absurdity of staging the epic journey across Britain with only four actors, a few props and the audiences imagination.
Then, in 2005, Patrick Barlow rewrote the script, keeping the scenes, staging and small-scale feel and, in June of that year, the re-adaptation premiered at the West Yorkshire Playhouse. The play then opened in London's Tricycle Theatre and, after a successful run, transferred to the Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly, where it continues to delight packed audiences night after night.
However, producers of the show had bigger plans and, on 15 January 2008, the show made its Broadway premiere at the American Airlines Theatre in New York City. The production went on to move theatres three times before eventually closing on 15 April 2010. The Broadway production received six Tony Award nominations, winning two for Best Lighting Design and Best Sound Design and also won the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience. The original London version was also recognised at the 2007 Olivier Awards.
Essentially, The 39 Steps is a send-up of traditional melodrama and a parody of the 1930s' British thriller genre, complete with starched white collars, pencil moustaches, secret agents and a very pretty leading lady.
The adventurous tale follows the square-jawed and stereotypically British hero named Richard Hannay (Ben Righton). Hannay opens the show by filling us in on the previous events from his London flat. We learn that he has got himself mixed up in a dastardly spy conspiracy in which he has been framed for a murder he did not commit and is therefore currently on the run from the law.
We then follow this dashing hero as he attempts to clear his name, traversing the length and breadth of the country, foiling a German spy, falling in love, escaping a faceless assassin and generally getting in and out of impossible situations.
The genius of the stage adaptation is that we are really watching two stories at once. The first being John Buchan's original 'ripping yarn' that still manages to keep the audience on the edges of their seats with every manic plot twist and red herring, even with the irreverent treatment. The second story is of the four actors intently trying their best to tell the tale against all the theatrical odds imaginable. These four fearless actors play more than 100 characters throughout the course of the evening, moving from interior to exterior locations through the use of all manner of theatrical techniques from shadow puppetry, mime, physical theatre, even dance.
The use of props in The 39 Steps is hilarious from the start. Old leather suitcases become a steam-train carriage, fold-out painters' ladders become the Forth Road Bridge, and a windowframe on wheels is turned into every dwelling imaginable. All of these devices are handled with complete skill by the cast, transforming the most banal of furnishings, such as a hat stand, into three Scottish farmers at a village meeting!
Ian Scott, the production's lighting designer, helps things along by defining the space with light and giving the setting the appropriate atmosphere. Likewise, Mic Pool's sound design colours each scene to match the suggested location – an owl hooting at night as they cross a misty moor or the crackle of a log fire in a remote farm cottage.
The standout aspect of the production though is the enormously talented cast of Ellie Beaven, Greg Haiste, Nick Holder and Ben Righton. The energy and commitment required to keep the play rattling along at the speed it does is quite some feat. In particular, Beaven's portrayal of Annabella Schmidt, the grotesque German spy, is pant-wettingly funny due to the ridiculously strong German accent and femme fatale seduction of the naive Hannay.
Haiste and Holder are a double act worthy of comparison to Morecambe and Wise. They both change character in the blink of an eye, to the point where you would be forgiven for thinking the cast was far larger than a mere four actors. In one gloriously funny coup de theatre, the pair plays three different characters at the same time, using only a few hats and the mastery of accents.
The 39 Steps is a unique theatrical experience and the clever balance between silly slapstick and clever farce makes for a perfectly original – no, more – a sublime night at the theatre.

The Specifications of a 1974 Ford F-600 Dump Truck
by John Willis
Among the best-selling series of automobiles in U.S. history, Ford's F series trucks were introduce in 1948. The third generation of F series began production 10 years later in 1958, which included the first F-600. Unlike the full-size pickup trucks such as the ever-popular F-100, 250 and 350s, Ford's F-600 was a more heavy-duty utility and service platform. Among other applications, the F-600 platform was used for firetrucks, flatbed trucks, fuel trucks, cattle trucks, bucket trucks, garbage trucks and dump trucks.
The F-600 has been manufactured for decades through multiple major redesigns. It can be specified in relation to its contemporary full-size pickup trucks. They shared a V8 configuration with a larger displacement and a lower-geared, close-ratio gear box. The chassis were heavier and longer. Cab sizes were larger. Dual rear tires were common.
Ford completed the manufacture of the F-600's rolling chassis and front but stopped at the frame rails in the rear of the vehicle. Aftermarket specialists would manufacture its payload, be it a fuel transport tank, bucket lift or a dump truck body, as a supplier to Ford. Ford would install the entire utility units.
Dump Truck Body
Over the years, multiple dump truck body manufacturers have supplied the F-600. On occasion, Ford also sold the "blank" F-600s to aftermarket companies who would install their own utility bed, including dump truck bodies, either commissioned for their own fleet use or for resale.

China Plans to Introduce Nationalized Christian Theology
Carrie Dedrick | Editor, ChristianHeadlines.com | Thursday, August 14, 2014
#Christianity
China has announced its plans to nationalize Christian theology, a move that is has many Christians concerned for the future.
Wang Zuoan, director of the State Administration for Religious Affairs said, "The construction of Chinese Christian theology should adapt to China's national condition and integrate with Chinese culture."
An article published in China's state-run news website said that the national theology "will encourage more believers to make contributions to the country's harmonious social progress, cultural prosperity and economic development."
Christian leaders believe that a nationalized theology would focus more on politics than religion. A Christian Solidarity Worldwide spokesman said, "The emphasis on believers' contribution to 'harmonious social progress' and the need for Christianity to 'adapt to China's national condition' echo past remarks on the role of religion in promoting social harmony and national unity.
"Although Wang did talk in more specific terms about the construction of Chinese Christian theology, it is difficult to predict what this will look like in practice. The main purpose, however, may be to remind Christians that their allegiance is to the country, and the Party, first."
China's announcement of a national Christian theology comes in the wake of a government campaign which forcibly removed crosses from churches across the country.


Seniors Say No to Pain Pill Addiction, Yes to Medical Cannabis | nextCANNABIS.com | Investing in What's Next in Cannabis.
Medical cannabis use among seniors has skyrocketed. In the 55-and-over bracket, consumption is at an all-time high. To be sure, some older people still hold on to the stigma created around the plant: In statewide surveys the age group most opposed to legalization consistently is the oldest. But more and more are coming over to the green side. With medical cannabis now legal in 24 states and D.C., four also restoring free adult choice, people are advocating for the flower with a whole new fervor.
Substituting all-natural cannabis as an alternative to toxic drugs allows patients to reduce or even entirely eliminate their use of harmful and addictive pain medications. It should be difficult to think of something wrong with that, unless you're Big Pharma or entirely devoid of compassion.
But half the state legislatures in this country still want to deprive these patients of their natural medicine. They must have access only to the toxic painkilling drugs like opioids, which make them feel bad — or worse, lead to addiction. For taking a safer medication, suffering people are demonized and harassed, many of them military veterans with PTSI, or post-traumatic stress injury.
We live in an era of rapid evolution, and the cannabis market is profoundly changing the game. Offering to the public easier methods of using cannabis products has made it an herb that can be added to many a daily routine. Because smoking it has been by far the most common method, many have never even considered any other way. But time has proven that ingesting cannabis can be incredibly beneficial.
A CBS News video titled The Rise in Marijuana Use Among Seniors is stirring the pot in a major way and bringing some interesting points to the fight for legal cannabis use across America. Sue Taylor is one of the advocates featured, and this 68-year-old spitfire makes cannabis part of her daily routine. She is health-conscious, works out regularly, and lives for the word "homemade".
There are countless benefits to incorporating cannabis into your diet. Sue uses it for pain, insomnia, and to balance her blood lipids. Of the countless reefer recipes available online, she prefers gummies, one of the most popular recipes at MagicalButter.com. You can easily create them with the Botanical Extractor, and add your own unique flavor and style to the recipe.
Cannabis-infused edibles are an ideal delivery method for those who don't want to smoke, or who just want to enjoy a delicious, medicinal treat.
Sue Taylor was once the principal of a Catholic school. She would never have considered trying cannabis if her son hadn't encouraged her to do more research. She resides in California and is able to obtain the natural herbal medication with a prescription, just like any other medicine recommended by a health professional.
The CBS News piece turns the spotlight on cannabis consumption by seniors, and how rapidly the rate is increasing. Could this be part of the solution to the nationwide epidemic of painkiller addiction? Sue delivers some serious knowledge in this interview about cannabis and how it can help older people with a variety of health issues.
The evidence of the overall health benefits of cannabis is undeniable. In particular, a decrease in the use of highly addictive pain medication among the elderly has to be one the best ones yet. Depriving patients of a safe, effective medication — driving them to the cruelly overpriced black market to escape painkillers — is hurting people who are already hurting. Again, some of them served in the armed forces. They most definitely deserve better "treatment".
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper commented on cannabis use for the older generation.
Americans 65 and older make up 14 percent of the nation's population. But they use more than 30 percent of all prescription drugs, including addictive pain pills.
Igor Grant is a well-respected professor and chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California in San Diego. He is an advocate for research and knows the benefits of cannabis in pain management.
"First of all, there is increasing evidence that cannabis is helpful in the management of certain kinds of pain," Dr. Grant said. "An interesting question is, If people are prescribed cannabis, does that have, then, an opioid-sparing effect? Because for chronic pain we do use opioids, Vicodin and drugs like this." He believes cannabis can replace the use of opioids for those who choose this form of treatment.
In a world where addiction is on the rampage, cannabis can be the cure, and its benefits are limitless. With legalization on the forefront of the nation's mind, it's only a matter of time before all citizens are granted access to the wonder plant that is literally changing lives.
SHARE this story with your friends on Facebook and show them a whole new way of life for the cannabis enthusiast!

With the founding of the band in March 2007 and a demonstration in live performance at the Takadanobaba AREA live house on June 5th of the same year, DaisyStripper began their band activities. Only about two weeks later, on June 18th they performed their very first real live show at shibuya O-WEST. Their first event called "咲乱ストリップ/ Sakuran strip" under their own patronage took place on August 23rd at Takadanobaba AREA once again, accompanied by the release of their first demo CD, which's sales were limited to the number visitors of that day.
On February 13th of 2009 their first Single+DVD「ダンデライオン/Dandalion」 was released, however, limited to four Like an Edison stores and was soon sold out. The second press of the CD was sold equally as well and was DaizyStripper's first record to reach the TOP of the ORICON indies charts.
One year from their founding their name echoed through all of Japan, as they took the chance to perform at AJINOMOTO Stadium for hide's memorial event [hide memorial summit]. Although only playing three songs, they certainly reached the hearts of the well 30,000 people, who attended the event. From both Japanese and Overseas Fans they have been well recognized and praised.
In June of the same year, DaisyStripper gave their first one man show at shibuya BOXX, also conducted as their 1st Anniversary event! Fans were overflowing the venue to the extent the doors did not close anymore and more than 40 journalists showed their interest in this live! Even among people outside the Visual-kei scene it became highly popular!
Also, on June 11th their 2CD-BOX-Set (2nd、3rd Single)[CROSS] had been released, still limited to a hand full Visual-kei oriented shops. Nonetheless, this release, too, made it into the ORICON indies charts and ranked 2nd all over.
During the summer of that year DaizyStripper also made their first appearance overseas at OTAKON in Baltimore, USA. With their experience gained from outside their own country and the development it induced, they were able to leap even more into the V-ROCK world.
With their one-man live at Higashi Meihan, they could put another big success to their record, just like the following release of their 4th single [TRUTH] on October 15th – it ranked No.1 within the ORICON indies charts once again. Due to popular demand, a second press of [CROSS] and the song [TRUTH] were released for sale nationwide on December 10th.
With the success of their one-man show in Shibuya O-WEST in March 2009, the release of their 5th single [Dearest] and its ranking within the TOP 3 of the ORICON indies charts was well expected. From July DaisyStripper went out to play a nationwide tour, which SOLD OUT completely for all eight locations! At their TOUR FINAL which was held at Ebisu Liquid Room, they were able to capture the fans once again with all the charm they had gained with their development.
Their first Mini Album was sure to follow on November 4th being titled [THE BEAUTY]. All six songs on the album certainly proved to be of high quality and originality, which was certainly pursued by the band, with their hard work being rewarded with ranking 2nd within the ORICON indies charts.
On December 13th in 2009, the band had been standing on the one stage of AKASAKA BLITZ. It was the first time for them to play in front of such a large crowd adding up to a total of 1200 people and the stage was set accordingly in it's presentation, to say the least. With their rapid development as a band, they are going to solidify their position gradually in 2010, to not be missed by anyone!
