Maybe it is correct, but it looks weird. In official docs is it possible to see between left Go! button and input.
I assume you meant "Weird" rather than "Wired"?
Of course, soory. Win 8.1 latest Chrome (36).
The vertical line has 2px width, just one pixel is I thing better.
I should be the Sauce mistake. The reality is, that there is not hidden one of the borders. This situation makes visible both of them. So it looks like 2 pixes border.
Chrome 36 Mac. No double line. Check to see if your zoom level is 100%.
Chrome v37.0.2062.44 beta on OS X 10.9.4, zoom level 100% using latest master: double border.
The reality is, that there is not hidden one of the borders. This situation makes visible both of them.
The double border continues to exist in 38.0.2103.0 canary (64-bit), as well. Same version of OSX, as @hnrch02.
Setting .input-group-btn:first-child>.btn, .input-group-btn:first-child>.btn-group's margin-right to -2px seems to resolve it without immediately apparent side-effects, but boy is it weird. The margin-left on the other group is also set to -1px and appears fine.
The problem doesn't occur in Safari 7.0.5 or Firefox 31 though, so changing margin-right wouldn't work.
Looks like it. Can't reproduce in Opera 23.0.1522.60. What's strange though is that not everybody is able to reproduce this.
@hnrch02 It does work but it's obviously a hack. You'll gain a pixel on the input, while appearing to lose one on the button. Try it out. Still only displays the single pixel border.
Here it is in the extreme on FF 31 with a -10px margin.
@zacechola Sorry, I wasn't implying that using -2px wouldn't fix the problem. I was trying to say that it's not really an acceptable solution.
Understandable, @hnrch02. I wasn't suggesting it as a great fix either, merely as a curiosity that it works fine in the last-child with margin-left, but not first-child with margin-right.
Definitely a browser thing when one variation of a component behaves well, but the other doesn't. Not sure we can do much about it in v3.x.
@mdo Care to file a Chrome bug then, maestro?
Given it's changed back and forth, I'm inclined to see if this works itself out. Also, I want to revisit the structure of these in v4. The extra wrapper around buttons and addons is rather necessary given the behavior of inputs and buttons across browsers.
This is still an issue with Chrome 48.0.2564.109 m (Windows 7).
I found a work around that seems to fix it in chrome and not negatively affect other browsers.
@crazyjat Yep, that's why https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=534750 is still open.
Yes I am aware, but I wanted to convey my work around to anyone suffering with this issue.
I doubt that the Chrome issue will be fixed any time soon as this is a direct result of the fact that Chrome does not "render" table cells with fractional pixel sizes. In the case above, the width of the button is a decimal value (IE: 102.4343px) because it is an inline-block element and the width is calculated based on the width of the text and the cell width is a whole pixel size (IE: 103px;).
It might be possible to also work around this issue by turning off subpixel font rendering, but I'm not sure.

Feds continue search for Etan Patz
Police and federal agents were expected Friday to continue searching in a Lower Manhattan basement for clues in the more than 30-year disappearance of six-year-old Etan Patz, the boy who became the face of missing children in America.
Etan Patz disappeared May 25, 1979, a block from his home in the city's SoHo neighborhood. It was the first time he walked to the bus stop by himself.
Authorities said both new and old information led them to a carpenter and part-time handyman who met Etan the day before he disappeared and gave the boy a dollar.
It was interest in the carpenter that prompted authorities to bring a cadaver dog to a SoHo basement, where Etan apparently encountered the 42-year-old carpenter, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation. The dogs picked up the scent of human remains, the source said.

Sorry–forgot to answer your question. Zabar's is a gourmet food store at 80th Street and Broadway (Manhattan). Caviar, smoked fish, kitchen stuff–it's big and an escape for the world-weary. It temporarily turns normal people into hopeless foodies. A gift certificate there guarantees a good time.

'I was so exhausted I almost walked away': Nick Robinson talks about the election
BBC political editor Nick Robinson has admitted he was close to "walking away" from Downing Street before announcing David Cameron as the new Prime Minister because of exhaustion.
Speaking in an interview with BBC College of Journalism, Robinson shares some of the challenges he faced covering the election.
At the end of the five days there was just the sense of total exhaustion. I had planned really to go to bed after staying up for 24 hours on air after polling day closed and suddenly discovered I couldn't because of all the ups and downs (…)
When it finally came to Gordon Brown leaving Downing Street I remember being so cold and so tired that I actually said to Laura Kuenssberg, 'you do it' and she looked at me as if I was completely mad. I was so exhausted that I briefly thought of walking away. But it was a great story to do.
Robinson also discusses how he dealt with surprising exit polls live on air and how he wants to encourage more debate via his blog but first needs to tackle "abusive" comments.

#ge2010: Who was first-past-the-post in this year's election coverage?
It is an event producer's nightmare. You book three big speakers, and they pull out with two hours to go. Reader, that was my nightmare on Tuesday.
Five day after polls had closed and Britain was still without a government. I had the general election editors of the BBC, Sky News and the editor in chief of ITN all set to go head-to-head on 'Who won on TV?' at Westminster University for a Media Society debate. The debate looked promising until Gordon Brown decided he had to go and would be replaced by David Cameron that very night. The broadcast editors decided they had better, well, broadcast.
Fortunately, the audience was nearly as distinguished as the panel, and veteran media commentator Raymond Snoddy and Professor Ivor Gaber were recruited to join Dorothxy Byrne, head of news and current affairs at Channel Four. They were joined by the doyen of political documentary makers, Michael Cockerell, and were under the watchful eye of ex-Sky News editor Nick Pollard, who chaired the debate.
The televised leaders' debates came to dominate the election campaign and they very nearly dominated discussion on Tuesday night. Given the tight rules laid down by the politicians in advance, many claimed 'debate' was something of a misnomer. David Hill, Tony Blair's ex-spin doctor, felt anything was better than the bear pit Question Time had become in the 2005 election. The audience at Westminster felt that broadcasters ITN, Sky and the BBC had too easily rolled over and accepted the preconditions laid down for them. The BBC was largely felt to have produced the best of the three debates thanks to the magisterial presence of David Dimbleby.
There was a different opinion of Dimbleby on the BBC Election night programme though. Some felt he looked tired and over-rehearsed, and a little lost in the behemoth of a set. While admiring his stamina, at least one person remarked on his miscall of a couple of swings. Jeremy Vine and his virtual reality graphics show divided the audience as did, inevitably, the Jeremy Paxman experience.
It seems that the BBC got it mostly right, but very wrong in one case in particular, namely the 'Ship of Fools', a barge on the Thames full of celebrities being quizzed about the results. The political opinions of Bruce Forsyth and Joan Collins were both predictable and irrelevant on a night of high drama. Nobody defended the ship. Clearly a wrong move.
As to network alternatives on the night, both ITN and Sky were seen as sharper and quicker than the BBC, partly because they got to the locked-out voters story earlier. In terms of set design and presentation though, there was no match for the BBC.
Where all the networks scored was in putting the newspapers in their place. The printed press was following the agenda in this election not leading it. Nowhere was this seen better than the live interruption of our debate to show the Gordon Brown resignation statement live from Downing Street. That moment really summed up this year's election coverage – fast, exciting, and on television.

#ge2010: Digital timeline charts campaigning and media innovation online
It was always obvious that at the end of the election campaign there would be a slew of articles declaring that it had or hadn't been "the internet election". I decided back in March to start collecting examples of campaigning and media innovation around the election and putting them into a digital election timeline, so that when we got to polling day I'd have a timeline of events.
I chose to use Dipity as my tool. The free version allows you to create up to three timelines. Within a topic you give each event a title and a timestamp. Optionally you can add a description, image and link URL to each event. Dipity then builds a timeline using Flash, and the events can also be viewed as a plain chronological list, or in a 'flip-book' format. If you link to a video on YouTube, Dipity automatically embeds the video in the timeline.
To get the data to go into the timeline I relied quite heavily on Twitter. I made sure that I subscribed to the Twitter streams of the major parties, and to election Twitter streams from broadcasters like Channel 4 and the BBC.
During the day, every time I saw a link on Twitter that I thought might lead to an interesting bit of the digital campaign I marked it as a favourite. At night, I would then spend 20 minutes looking back through the day's favourites, taking screengrabs, and entering the details into Dipity. I also had help from various people within news organisation who began sending me messages about content and services they had launched.
The timeline has around 150 events in it now, and I've been continuing to update it in the aftermath of the indecisive result.
A few things stood out. From the political parties, the Conservatives #cashgordon Twitter fiasco was amusing, but worrying. It seemed that the people who look likely to be commissioning the nation's digital infrastructure in the next couple of years couldn't commission a website which got basic security right. Worse, instead of holding their hands up to a "Web security 101" SNAFU, they tried to shift the blame to "left-wing" hackers, an example of tribal politics at it's worst.
For their part, the Labour decision to turn their homepage over to a Twitterstream during the Leader's Debates was a brave, but I believe, misguided one. First time visitors would have been perplexed by it, just at a moment when the nation was focused on politics and they had a chance to introduce floating voters to key elements of the Labour manifesto.
The Liberal Democrats Labservative campaign was a favourite of mine for sheer attention to detail. Fictional leader Gorvid Camerown even had a profile on Last.fm, where he enjoyed nothing but the status quo. The campaign was clever, but whether it increased the Liberal Democrat vote is impossible to judge.
It seemed to me that as the campaign progressed, the cycle of social media reaction got faster and faster. There were plenty of spoof political posters early in the campaign, but on the eve of the poll it seemed like it took less than ten minutes for the first spoofs of The Sun's Cameron-as-Obama front page to appear. Likewise, within minutes of the Landless Peasant party candidate appearing behind Gordon Brown giving a clenched fist salute in Kirkcaldy, a Facebook fan page for Deek Jackson had been set up and attracted over 500 joiners. It has now reached 4,000.
It has been a really interesting exercise. I definitely feel that compiling the digital election timeline personally kept me much more engaged in the campaign.
Would I do the timeline differently in the future? In retrospect I may have been better off putting the events into a mini-blog service like Tumblr, and powering the Dipity version from that. As it is, the data is locked into Dipity, and can't be indexed by search or exported. I have though uploaded around 100 of the screengrabs and images I used to a Flickr set so that people can re-use them.

Charlie Beckett: 'How do you report a hung parliament?'
POLIS director Charlie Beckett looks at the challenges a hung parliament poses for journalists:
The likelihood of a hung parliament raises all sorts of interesting procedural issues for journalists – especially the BBC and other Public Service Broadcasters. How do you report impartially and proportionately and how do you avoid getting bogged down in procedural detail? And how will our partisan press respond?
Generally, governments are given the dominant position in news coverage and allowed to dictate terms and set agendas because they have the popular mandate. New governments also tend to get a honeymoon period where the media allow them to set out their stall and give them the benefit of the doubt.

#ge2010: Times experiments with news and polls tracker
As part of its election coverage the Times attempted to chart the relationship between the news agenda, represented by Times reports and articles, and the political parties' perfomances in the polls.
It looks like this:
And works like this:
Each bubble in the above graph is a news story. Its size reflects the number of comments it received on our site, and its position (on the y axis) indicates the number of recommendations the story received. (The basic idea here is that, the higher and larger the bubble, the more 'important' the news story, assuming that larger, more important stories tend to get commented on and recommended more.) Colours show to which party a story relates. The lines show (depending on the tab) either Populus polling results, or the number of seats the parties were predicted to win during the campaign based on Ladbrokes odds, which are used elsewhere on the site.

#ge2010: Election Night review – a night of TV drama starting in Northern Ireland
Broadcast journalism lecturer at Coventry University John Mair reviews last night's election coverage from the BBC from his post in the broadcaster's Northern Ireland election newsroom:
Lunchtime Friday and still no clear answer. The British people have spoken but in a divided way. The politicians are wriggling to get advantage or cling on to power (you decide). The most exciting election campaign of modern times has been followed by the most exciting night of election drama of modern times.
Nowhere was the drama greater than here in Northern Ireland where I was working on election night – the other election, often ignored by those 'across the water'. First casualty, Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson whose 31-year stint as MP for East Belfast ended in stunning defeat by a woman of the centre – Naomi Long of the Alliance Party. Robinson has had an annus horibbulis having to face television investigations announcing his wife's affair and, after that, his own land dealings came under scrutiny. Last night was his nadir. He rushed to the count at Newtonards Leisure Centre, spoke briefly to the local media and was then ushered out. Now he has gone to ground to lick his wounds and fend off predators.
The Robinson moment was magic telly: milked by the local outputs, but less so by the networks. They wanted more of Lady Sylvia Hermon, who defected from the Unionists when they joined with the UK Conservatives. The Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) were seen off in what should have been their heartland North Antrim by Ian Paisley Jnr – brands are as important in politics as anywhere else. He and father – who preceded him in the seat for 40 years – showed their contempt for the TUV by singing the national anthem before his victory speech. Worse for 'moderate' Unionism, Sir Reg Empey lost out in South Antrim to the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). The planned Tory beachhead in Northern Ireland became a washout. It was a media confection.
The BBC Northern Ireland Election programme ran for seven-plus hours using all the 18 counts at eight locations as their prime material. Down-the-line interviews galore at the outside broadcasts based on deep local knowledge. The local commercial station – Ulster Television – did not even make it to the starting line. No election news between 10:30pm and 09.30am. That did not go unnoted by fellow hacks.
The BBC's 'Dimbleby programme' had a magnificent set on its side and some pretty special Jeremy Vine virtual reality graphics too – my favourites being the Downing Street staircase or the House of Commons with real faces smiling and nodding. Modern Television journalism is about entertainment and keeping it simple. Nowhere more so than in the use of electronic graphics. All of that plus live reporting from many of the big beasts of telly journalism. It's fascinating to see how many of them still used the basic journalistic skills, like Kirsty Wark doorstepping/walking besides and interviewing Nick Clegg on the hoof on the way to his count.
It's difficult from inside my bubble to know how the drama played out in the nations. It certainly kept us rapt in this television control room. You could not have written the script. But the 2010 General Election story has not yet reached its final chapter. Plenty more drama to come…

#ge2010: How to follow election day online
As live events go, election night has to be one of the biggest opportunities for journalists and news organisations to get tweeting, liveblogging, mapping and more. Here's our guide to the best online coverage of election day and plans for tonight's results, as we look at what journalists' can learn for future live events and how readers (and voters) are being kept informed:
Produced in associated with Channel 4 and the New Statesman, Guardian.co.uk's election coverage features a map plotting voter turnout. It's reliant on people tweeting when they've voted with the first half of their postcode and the #ukvote hashtag, but gives a good real-time picture of where the votes are coming in from.
The goal of the experiment is to inspire more people to vote and to help get a sense of turnout during the course of the day and across the country. Channel 4 News is also trying to gauge turnout using a poll as part of its election day liveblog, which dominates its homepage today.
The Guardian has also changed the layout of its homepage to incorporate more election coverage – particularly like the way it highlights the latest updates from its election day liveblog as part of the top stories box.
Ahead of tonight's results the Telegraph has a handy guide to when constituencies will be declaring and which party is targeting which seats.
The BBC has its live page up and ready for tonight and is promising to use all its multimedia resources to boost its online coverage, with a liveblog of the results for those following online and on mobile and streams of the best radio and TV footage from the BBC via the website. Particularly nice is the slideshow of how to vote – the practicalities not which party to vote for and the option to download an election night party pack.
As part of extensive election night coverage online, Sky News has a handy, hour-by-hour guide of what happens on election day and has Facebook chat around the election added to its liveblog, so users can post status updates from the Sky site.
The Financial Times is hosting an election special on its Westminster blog for election day; while the Times' group blog Election '10 is worth a mention for today's blow-by-blow coverage and its offering of analysis, news and commentary throughout the election campaigns, balancing live and need-to-know with deeper commentary.
The Liverpool Daily Post has an excellent election section and its election map that will show the results for its local seats as they come in is a great feature. This set-up is being used by other Trinity Mirror titles too, including the Birmingham Post and Mail titles, which have also adopted the group blog Party Central for local politicians set up by the Liverpool Post & Echo:
The hyperlocal election:
We've written about the opportunities for hyperlocal, independent news sites in covering the general election and its seems tonight will be no exception. Expect liveblogs – Sunderland blog SR2 Blog is hoping to be one of the first sites to report a results, while Blog Preston has recruited student bloggers for the task; and live tweeting – new site for Manchester Inside the M60 will be tweeting the results live and posting them to the site as soon as they come in. Let us know if you're planning something special for tonight or trying out some live reporting for the first time in the comments below.
Non-news sites:
Tweetminster gives an unrivalled view of tweeting going on during election day, filtering tweets from politicians and prospective parliamentary candidates, as well as mapping voter turnout by tweet and trending topics.
Facebook has set up a live vote count showing how many Facebook users have said they've voted, as well as pulling in news updates from external sites and polling users on its Democracy UK page.
And finally, if just for fun, a picture of how tweeters are aligned by party from @jaygooby.
If you're a journalist, blogger or just an interested party let us know how you're reporting and following election night as it happens.

#ge2010: Inside the biggest night in broadcasting
It's quiet now. You can hear a pin drop. In twelve hours' time it will be organised chaos. I am at the BBC TV 'hub' in Belfast getting ready for the biggest night not just of politicians' lives but broadcasters' too. Tonight is general election result night and we'll be live on BBC One and Two for hours on end bringing predictions, results and analysis to British people and many further afield.
In my bit of the hub, I handle all the material going 'across the water' from here to the David Dimbleby programme in Television Centre London. BBC Northern Ireland is at all of the eighteen counts at eight counting centres throughout the province, bringing breaking results, analysis, and interviews with the movers and shakers. I will be constantly offering material to the central hub in London, which they will accept, reject or just plain ignore. At busy periods they could probably fill four TV channels with election results coming in.
This is the BBC at its journalistic and technical best. Hundreds of hacks working on getting the results, processing them and analysing the team in London. Nothing can go wrong on the night. Little is left to chance. Rehearsals have been taking place for the better part of the last week. All systems tested, none found wanting-so far. From my desk I can talk to sixteen different locations/units to see what's happening.
In front of me will be sitting the BBC Northern Ireland hub producer. They're going out live too from 10.00pm until the last result here, probably around six hours later. We'll share their fruits with the rest of the nations when we can. To my left will be the RTE hub producer from Southern Ireland. They're going big on this election with a Belfast and a London Studio and a big outside broadcast to boot.
This is my eighth British general election with the BBC and it still gets the adrenalin going after 30 years.
After it's over – tomorrow afternoon by best reckoning – it is time for the post mortem and the analysis of what went right what went wrong. To that end, I'll be producing an event for the Media Society next Tuesday at the University of Westminster entitled Who Won the TV Election? (more details at www.themediasociety.com or below).
Enjoy tonight's coverage on TV, and come along next tuesday to praise or blame the great men and women who put on this quinquennial spectacle. Rocket science it may not be, but at times it isn't far off.

Let's start with an annoying truth: you do not want to learn about the importance of backing up your hard drive the hard way. Losing a hard drive is gut wrenching when you don't have a backup. Here's why you should back up your hard drive every day.
Hard drives fail. That's just what happens. Computers are expensive things with lots of moving components and we expect them to stop working one day. It may not happen for years, but it will eventually happen. Of course, your hard drive may fail much sooner than you like too. Regular wear and tear will ruin a hard drive, but so will power surges, spilled fluids, and toddlers.
If your hard drive fails, you don't have a back up, and you really need data recovered, you can pay to make this happen. It will run hundreds of dollars and there's no guarantee of success.
Here's a little girl who accidentally deleted a picture sent by her uncle. She's pretty distraught, learning what 'deleted' really means. (Note: her parents gave her a hug and her uncle Dave sent a new picture; that made it all better) Now multiply that feeling by however many precious pictures you have on your hard drive. Is this stuff you really want to risk losing?
Maybe you do your taxes on your computer. Or your budget. Maybe you have a small business and you keep your records on your computer. Maybe you scan your medical records. Or you keep your family's calendar digitally.
Our point is: you may have records on your computer that are both important and irreplaceable. In the case of your taxes or business records, it may even be a legal requirement that you maintain records for a number of years.
It happens. You accidentally deleted that file you actually really need. Or you made a bunch of changes to your calendar but now you need to double-check the original date of a very important appointment. Or your nine-year-old swears up and down that they had their book report written on Thursday but it can't be found anywhere today.
So what to do? Well, if you backup every day with a program like Time Machine, Genie Timeline, or Crashplan, you'll have a record of files you can go back at look at. They're pretty easy to use; it's usually just a matter of plugging in a hard drive at the end of the day or just clicking button.
How Much Time Do You Want to Spend Fixing Your Problem?
Tech problems are a pain to solve. They can be expensive, time consuming, and stressful. But when you have a backup, solving the problem becomes less stressful, less time consuming, and less expensive. Sure, you'll have to replace your device that failed, but at least you won't have to replace your data—if that's even possible.
There's no excuse not to back up your data regularly. You can back up to an external hard drive, the cloud, or both. In fact, we've written a whole guide on the smart way to back up, so here's a good place to start.


Back on the market! Buyers loan fell through, their loss, your gain! Beautiful cul-de-sac home with 4 BR, 2.5 bath and loft. Excellent floor plan and condition. This is the open kitchen you have been looking for with the large island, granite counter tops, tile backsplash & SS appliances. Hardwoods on the main level, upgraded carpet and lighting. Dining room with tray ceiling. Master bath with upgraded vanity, tiled shower and floor. Nice to have mud room. Patio overlooks great backyard. Immaculate!

Q: TCP Listener in tray application, cannot run for multiple users on same machine I'll open with this: I know you can only have one TcpListener listening to any given port, I'm trying to find a way to work around this limitation.
I am attempting to build an application that supports another application on the same machine. The other application, which I have no control over, sends out a signal on a TCP Port when it opens or closes a study.
In order to accept this TCP signal, I built a Windows Tray Application that listens to that port, accepts the signal, and then processes the data that was transmitted to it. The code block that manages this Listener looks like this...
    private TcpListener _tcpListener;
    private Thread _listenerThread;

    #region TCP Connection

    public void StartListener()
    {
        if (_listenerThread != null)
            StopListener();

        _listenerThread = new Thread(RunListener);
        _listenerThread.Start();
    }

    private void RunListener()
    {
        _tcpListener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, this.TcpListenerPort);
        _tcpListener.Start();
        while (true)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Listening for connections on port {0}", this.TcpListenerPort));

            try
            {
                TcpClient client = _tcpListener.AcceptTcpClient();

                ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(ProcessClient, client);
            }
            catch (SocketException ex)
            {
                // This occurs when we close the parent thread that runs the TcpListener because
                // the TcpListener call to AcceptTcpClient is a blocking call.
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Exception trying to AcceptTcpClient: {0}", ex.Message));
            }
        }
    }

    private void StopListener()
    {
        if (_tcpListener != null)
            _tcpListener.Stop();

        if (_listenerThread != null)
            _listenerThread.Abort();
    }

As you can see, this is pretty simple and straight-forward. I spool up a thread to hold the Listener, then wait for a signal to come through, then do something with the data that it sent me. And all of this is working just fine.
The problem comes from this: This tray application is set up to run when a user logs in to the machine. However, due to the 'One listener per port' rule of the TCP Listener, if more than one user logs on to the machine at once (either via VPN or through 'switching' rather than logging off), then a second instance of this application attempts to start. And promptly crashes because it attempts to listen to a port that is already being listened to.
I cannot change the way information is sent to me by the other program, and I cannot force Windows Users to properly log off before switching to a new user. I cannot relocate any of these pieces to a different machine, either. However, this tray-app needs to be available to each and every user.
I have quite run out of ideas for how to resolve this, and any input would be extremely helpful.
Specifically, I'm trying to locate a method to hijack an existing thread hosting a TcpListener, co-opting it for use by more than one Windows Account at a time on the same machine. Granted, I will certainly not turn down a better idea than the one I have, either.
EDIT: I have considered running it as a Service, but one of the outcomes of data being received by the Listener is that the Tray Application launches a web browser, and it has a user interface for configuring its settings.

A: I cannot make comments yet, due to my rep, so this answer isn't really an answer, but you have a problem with your design.  So you have 4 users logged into this machine, thus 4 instances of the UI for user settings and such.  When any/all of the 4 UI apps receive the communication from the sending app, which if any are supposed to respond to it?
Is it all 4?  If it is all 4, then the suggestion to use a Service to "Listen" is correct, 1 service listens to 1 port.  When it gets something, it can then communicate with the UI applications. Have them Talk to the Service on starting and setup their own listening Port, so that the Service can keep track of who is still listening and command that app to open the web page, thus all 4 actively listening UI apps would open the web page.
If it is only 1 of the UI's should be responding, then you need to identify the rule to pick which one, then I would still think the Service would be the right way to go, and the Service could determine which of the 4 based on the rules defined, should get the command to open the webpage.
In the end, I still wouldn't do that, opening applications on users without their involvement can end in bad data, i.e. they are typing away on the keyboard and not even looking at the monitor and all of a sudden realize they have been typing into the wrong form for the last 4 enter presses, thinking they were typing an email.  You sure Task-bar notifications isn't a better idea?  You could make them as Intrusive as you wanted.

A: This is contrary to the idea of ports.  The best that you could hope for is that all of the copies of the program receive and process the data in parallel.
Perhaps a better direction would be to have the tray app relinquish the port when the session becomes locked? See How to detect Windows is locked?

These are the only ten countries in the world that are Covid-free
September 8th 2020 World
Having closed their borders early on, Palau and Micronesia are among just ten countries that have remained Covid-free throughout the pandemic. Rose Dykins reports
Apart from Antarctica, which is the only continent on Earth to have no cases of Covid-19, there are just ten Covid-free countries in the United Nations with zero confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus.
This excludes North Korea and Turkmenistan. Health experts believe the governments of these nations – both known for censorship – are not revealing the true sale of their infection rates.
The ten Covid-free countries – each of them located located in the Pacific Ocean region – are:
• Palau
• Micronesia
• Marshall Islands
• Nauru
• Kribati
• Soloman Islands
• Tuvalu
• Samoa
• Vanuatu
• Tonga
Each of these are island nations that took early measures to protect and isolate themselves at the start of the pandemic. They all closed their borders comparatively early, and kept them closed.
The virus would be particularly devastating for island nations, which is why the majority have taken stringent measures to either cut off international travel, or enforce mandatory Covid-19 testing.
While the ten Covid-free nations have succeeded in avoiding the virus, they have still been economically impacted by the pandemic.
In Palau, for example, tourism accounts for 40 per cent of national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which measures economic performance. The 500-island archipelago closed its borders March, along with most of its hotels and restaurants.
On September 1, "essential air travel" to the island was set to resume. There are also rumours that the nation will create an air corridor with Taiwan – a 3.5-hour flight away, which has also successfully controlled the spread of the virus – in a bid to revive tourism.
Meanwhile, the Marshall Islands expects to lost 700 jobs in tourism due to Covid-19 (out of a population of 59,000). But Covid-19 has also hit the country's fishing industry hard. Exports – including sashimi tuna and aquarium fish – have fallen by 50 per cent during the pandemic due to restrictions placed on foreign ships.
Over in Vanuatu, the country is yet to feel the full effects of border closures due to Covid-19. Experts suggest this is because 80 per cent of the population live outside of cities and towns, and a large portion are self-sufficient, independent farmers who grow their own food and rely on a local economy.
As a result, people largely feel reluctant to reopen borders yet, and run the risk of opening up the nation to Covid-19. Still, 35 per cent of the country's GDP is reliant on tourism.
Looking to the future, travel bubbles are likely to be the first steps towards reopening the borders of these Pacific Ocean island nations.
Australia and New Zealand are the biggest tourism markets for the region, but it remains likely that the two nations will initially "bubble up" with each other first. And this planned Trans-Tasman bubble is has now been postponed following new outbreaks in both countries – a reminder of how quickly plans can shift in response to the virus.
Once nations are able to remain free from community transmission, travel bubbles will become more of an imminent possibility.

from Barron's and Randall Forsyth, Is It Time to Return to Active Stock-Picking?
What's needed, say some outspoken active investors, is a return to old-fashioned Houseman–Smith Barney securities selection, rather than the tide of passive investing washing over the financial markets. "Passive investing is in danger of devouring capitalism," Paul Singer wrote in the second-quarter letter to his Elliott Management hedge fund investors.
That recalls last year's rather histrionic paper from Bernstein, "Why Passive Investing Is Worse Than Marxism." The gist of both attacks on index funds is that, without active investors diligently working to allocate capital and to hold managements accountable, our economic system would be in peril.
"What may have been a clever idea in its infancy has grown into a blob that is destructive to the growth-creating and consensus-building prospects of free market capitalism," Singer is quoted by Bloomberg News as having written.
Everybody cannot be passive. It is not self fulfilling, it is self defeating.

Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, is the first YouTuber to have surpassed 10 billion views on his YouTube channel cementing his place in history. His success has been described in the past as "baffling" but one thing is certain. PewDiePie's success is not down to luck.
PewDiePie's idea of making YouTube videos was nothing original, there were people doing it when he launched his channel in 2010. What was unique though was the area he chose to focus on-video games. PewDiePie wasn't sure how he could make money out of it, the only thing he knew for certain was that he liked playing games and liked making videos. What set him apart from others was that he approached YouTube like a true entrepreneur. There were certain things he implemented from the beginning that helped achieve his huge level of success. PewDiePie dropped out of college to focus on making videos on YouTube (focused solely on YouTube) and worked at a hot dog stand to support himself. Instead of just focusing on gaming, he carved out a niche,horror, and the early games he played were horror titles. He monitored fan reaction and noticed he got more subscribers when his reactions were more exaggerated so became even more energetic in his videos. By engaging with the followers, he built a tight community which became known as "bros army" and he referred to them as "bros". PewDiePie appreciated each and every subscriber and thanked them all when he reached his first 100 subscribers. His approach to YouTube was consistent. He posted almost daily and started and ended the videos the same way. That consistency was also evident in the games he played. PewDiePie turned down many endorsement deals so he could play games he actually wanted to play and genuinely liked. That authenticity led to his followers remaining loyal.

There is this thing called due process, where someone accused of something has a right to defend himself, except liberals don't like it very much. They sometimes play lip service to it, but only when it has to do with covering for the criminals they consider victims of society. You Normals are "society," by the way. But regardless, when it is politically useful to let super-convenient accusers trash people from a distance by feeding talking points to eager media allies, forget due process. Allowing someone to effectively challenge fake charges gets in the way of the liberal elite's ability to slander good people for cheap political gain with fake charges. We can't have that.
The sliming of Brett Kavanaugh by a Bernie donor is disgusting and disgraceful, and if Democrats had any shred of decency they would hang their heads in shame and spend the next two months ahead of the midterms doing penance to atone for their scummy act of cheap political theater. But they don't, so they won't.
That's why I hope that after he is confirmed, Justice Kavanaugh remembers and spends the next 35 years making the liberals sorry they ever pulled these skeevy shenanigans.
Let's review. As I write this, a liberal who doesn't have the moral courage to subject herself to cross-examination is presuming to besmirch the integrity of someone who has never had his integrity questioned in any serious way. Well, it has been besmirched in an unserious way, by T-Bone's buddy Spartacus as well as by that idiot Kamala Harris, but they didn't lay a finger on him because the dumbnamic duo's allegations were such transparent baloney.
But now we need to pause the confirmation so we can further investigate her inconsistent claim (Was it four dudes? Two?) that an ancient relic/senator sat on for three months? Or something. Sounds legit. Whatev.
Victim status, whether based upon truth or lies – because people do lie, and all the time – does not give you any special privileges or special rights. Instead, it gives you duties and obligations, whether that is cosmically fair or not. See, if you propose to inflict damage upon someone, even if justifiable, you bear the burden of proof. You have to prove it; the accused doesn't have to disprove your amorphous innuendos. You have the duty to back up your claims, in public, and subject yourself to the greatest engine for the ascertainment of truth humanity has yet invented, cross-examination by a zealous advocate for the accused who is doing his best to show that you can't be trusted.
Take the stand and the heat, or shut up.
Is it hard? Yeah? Is it tough on real victims? It sure is. Is it unfair? Maybe, but the only people who think life can ever be fair are little kids and socialists, and only fools design their society around the insights of either bunch.
Maybe some tough cross-examination of Asia Argento back when she was a #MeToo heroine might have prevented the activists from going all in on someone who now seems to belong squarely in the abuser column. People who tell you that "You have to believe the victim!" are afraid you'll spoil their lynching if you discover the alleged victim is lying. When people refuse to allow the one thing that centuries of experience has shown to be the best way to discover the truth, due process including the cross-examination of the accuser, then it's reasonable to assume that they are not interested in the truth.
Is she hiding from examination because she's afraid that people will challenge her claims and maybe find exculpatory evidence? This mystery woman appears to admit to mental health issues, which allegedly stem from this ambiguous, third of a century-old alleged encounter, but who knows? We don't know, but if you really wanted to know the truth, wouldn't you want to?
Her claims must be challenged if we intend to keep pretending we are seeking justice. Let's be clear. It is a good thing, a necessary thing, a critical thing, to allow a tough advocate for the accused to forcefully challenge anyone making a devastating accusation against someone else by forcing them to prove their claim. No one has the right to expect people to go easy on them when they are saying something that can have such a dramatic effect on another person's reputation and life. It's not pleasant, but it is absolutely necessary if we are going to figure out the truth.
I know. I do it for a living as a trial lawyer. I intentionally, and on purpose, ask hard questions of people claiming to be victims of various wrongs that are designed to elicit a response that demonstrates to my juries that the person on the stand is not telling the truth. And the other side gets to do the same of the people I represent. That's a good thing.
It all seems so convenient that California's doddering, crusty senator (remarkably, DiFi is the least stupid of California's two senators, and she's astonishingly stupid) decided to announce this claim in such a manner that Kavanaugh has no way to defend himself. Maybe the red Chinese spy Feinstein had on staff for 20 years gave her some pointers.
As my upcoming book Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracyexplains, we are in a conflict between an elite that is threatened by the outraged mass of normal Americans who elected Donald Trump in response to the elite's long track record failure. The elite's push-back demonstrates that Normals have accurately assessed that the rules the elite points to are only meant to apply to the Normals. The elite may talk a good game about the rules and norms and stuff, but it does not consider itself bound by them. So, this kind of accusation is fine. Innuendo is fine. Slander is fine.
They have to preserve their power and position, you know. And that imperative transcends your bourgeoise morality.
Keith Ellison, Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy were all unavailable for comment.
But do you think Normals are just going to stand there and accept that the rules are applied only to them, while the very people charged with preserving and enforcing those rules blithely ignore them? Do they really think that a double standard society is possible and stable over the long term? It's not – check out my novels about what happens to America at the bottom of that slippery slope.
Luckily, the Republicans are getting woke to the okey-done, and recognize this as a Hail Satan play by Democrats who realize that the Brett Kavanaugh Express is rolling toward the confirmation station. Heck, even some of the Fredocon sissies are upset by their liberal elite pals and are taking the side of Normals for once, so you know it's undeniably outrageous.
Brett Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed. And when he is a justice on the Supreme Court, I hope he remembers what these people did to him. I hope he gives them the same kind of lesson in the power of payback that Clarence Thomas has delivered for nearly three decades. As Militant Normals observes, pain is a great teacher, and the elite needs to learn.

El Fundación Cesarger Futbol Club Fue un equipo de fútbol venezolano, establecido en la ciudad de Cumaná, Estado Sucre, en la región oriental de Venezuela. El Expreso de Sucre como se le apodaba, jugaba sus partidos como local en el Polideportivo Félix Velásquez, de la capital sucrense, cuya capacidad es de 15.000 personas.

Historia

El equipo fue fundado el 28 de octubre de 1996, cuando 5 amigos futbolistas (César Moreno, César Ñañez, Geroncio Benítez, Argenis Machado y Ramón González) se reunieron en un pequeño estadio del barrio La Trinidad, en el Municipio Sucre, allí mismo en Cumaná. En esa reunión, discutieron la creación de un ente que planificara, ejecutara y coordinara las actividades futbolísticas de la pequeña barriada cumanesa, tomando en cuenta la amistad y el compañerismo desde el punto de vista deportivo, el grupo elige el nombre "Fundación Amigos del Deporte", tras seguir debatiendo, se le suman las letras de los nombres de los 5 fundadadores, y así se obtiene las siglas "Cesarger", que son agregadas al nombre mencionado anteriormente.

Participación en los Torneos Profesionales de FVF

Tras participar en varias ocasiones en las categorías infantiles y juveniles, el cuadro sucrense comienza su transitar en los torneos profesionales de la FVF en el año 2007, en la Tercera División Venezolana 2007/08 que comenzó con el Torneo Apertura 2007, donde el equipo logra la segunda posición del Grupo Oriental, consiguiendo 22 unidades y sumando 6 victorias a lo largo del semestre. Para el Clausura 2008, alcanza el liderato de su grupo, tras sumar 26 puntos, superando por una unidad a Minasoro FC de El Callao, lo que le permitió disputar las instancias finales del torneo. La Academia San José del estado Aragua fue su rival en la semifinal del torneo, una eliminatoria muy pareja donde ambos partidos (ida y vuelta) terminaron empatados a 1 gol por lado, decidiéndose todo en la tanda de penaltis, donde el cuadro sucrense obtuvo la victoria 4-5 en el Estadio Giuseppe Antonelli de Maracay, Estado Aragua. En la final del torneo, se enfrentó a Guaros FC "B", tras empatar ambos partidos, el equipo cumanés logra ser el campeón de la temporada, y con esto, logra el ascenso a la Segunda División B de Venezuela para la siguiente temporada.

Tras el campeonato logrado en la temporada anterior, compite en la Segunda División B Venezolana 2008/09, tomando nuevamente parte en el Grupo Centro-Oriental. En el Apertura 2008 logra un total de 9 victorias en 14 compromisos y anota un total de 24 goles durante el semestre, para terminar en la segunda casilla, sumando 28 puntos, a solo 4 puntos de Minasoro FC, quien a la postre sería derrotado por el Unión Atlético San Antonio (líder del Grupo Centro-Occidental) en la final del torneo. Para el Clausura 2009, el equipo logra un excelente rendimiento futbolístico, solo obtiene una derrota a lo largo del semestre y una muy buena diferencia de goles (+23), para culminar el torneo como líder de grupo con 35 unidades, lo que le condujo a disputar la final del torneo. En aquella final del Clausura 2009, el rival sería el Unión Atlético San Antonio, al que derrotó con marcador de 1-2 para así coronarse campeón del torneo, lo que le permitió jugar la final de la división, en la cual cayó derrotado el equipo sucrense con un marcador global de 4 goles a 3 ante el cuadro de San Antonio del Táchira. Tras ser líder de la tabla acumulada de la temporada en el Grupo Centro-Oriental, el Expreso de Sucre logra el ascenso a la Segunda División de Venezuela para la siguiente zafra.

El Ascenso a la División de Plata

Comenzó la Segunda División Venezolana 2009/10 con el Apertura 2009, donde el equipo del estado sucre logró solamente 3 victorias en 16 partidos, para sumar un total de 13 puntos, culminando el semestre en la casilla número 12 de la tabla de posiciones. En el Clausura 2010, el rendimiento del equipo mejoró levemente, logrando el décimo lugar, sumando 18 puntos derivados de 5 triunfos, 3 empates y 7 derrotas. Culminó esa temporada siendo decimocuarto de la tabla acumulada, permaneciendo así una temporada más en la categoría.

La temporada Segunda División Venezolana 2010/11 comenzó con el Apertura 2010, donde la escuadra oriental apenas logró 4 victorias en 18 compromisos, culminando en la séptima posición del Grupo Centro-Oriental con 19 puntos. Para el Clausura 2011 nuevamente mejoró levemente su rendimiento, terminando el semestre en la quinta colocación con 24 unidades, producto de 6 triunfos, 6 empates y 6 derrotas. tras los resultados obtenidos en ambos torneos, logra su permanencia en la segunda categoría una temporada más.

La tercera temporada del cuadro sucrense en la Segunda División Segunda División Venezolana 2011/12 arrancó con el Torneo Apertura 2011, donde nuevamente el rendimiento futbolístico del equipo fue de resultados modestos, termina el torneo siendo el sexto lugar del Grupo Oriental, con 12 puntos producto de 2 victorias, 6 empates y 5 derrotas, con esto y tras el cambio de formato para esta temporada, pasa a jugar el Torneo de Permanencia 2012 con equipos de la Segunda División B de Venezuela, torneo con el cual se suprimía la Segunda División B, para dejar solo una Segunda División, un torneo donde solo 10 equipos tendrían la oportunidad de permanecer o lograr la promoción a la Segunda División, el resto pasaría a la Tercera División de Venezuela para la temporada siguiente. En el Torneo de Permanencia 2012 el equipo mejora ostensiblemente su rendimiento, siendo el cuarto clasificado del Grupo Oriental, con 20 unidades apenas a 3 puntos de alcanzar la permanencia en la Segunda División, consumándose el regreso a la Tercera División de Venezuela para la siguiente temporada.

De Regreso a Tercera División

Mucho tiempo transcurrió desde aquel debut glorioso, para que el equipo sucrense regresara a la Tercera División. La Tercera División Venezolana 2012/13 comenzó con el Apertura 2012, donde el equipo tomó parte del Grupo Oriental II. Fue amplio dominador del grupo, líder invicto con 26 unidades, logrando clasificarse al Torneo de Promoción y Permanencia 2013, en búsqueda de regresar a la Segunda División, objetivo esquivo la temporada anterior. Comenzó tarde su preparación para el segundo torneo de la temporada debido a las dificultades económicas que atravesó al inicio del año 2013, afortunadamente el cuadro cumanés logró competir a pesar de las adversidades. En el Torneo de Promoción y Permanencia 2013, toma parte del Grupo Oriental con rivales como Estudiantes de Caroní FC, Arroceros de Calabozo FC, Angostura FC entre otros; suma un total de 16 puntos, producto de 4 triunfos, 4 empates y 6 derrotas, en un semestre donde el rendimiento futbolístico cayó abruptamente hacia el final del torneo y donde el aspecto económico también tuvo su incidencia negativa, a tal punto de no competir en el Torneo de Tercera División de la temporada siguiente.

Organizations continue to migrate data—one of their key assets—to the cloud for a variety of reasons: optimizing capacity, providing 24/7, 365-day access to data, backing up essential information, and improving collaboration between users. While such increased reliance on the cloud speaks to the multiple benefits the cloud provides, it also is forcing organizations to confront the various risks cloud computing poses. This article summarizes three practical considerations for any organization looking to reduce risk in cloud computing.
1: The types of security both the organization and cloud provider offer for data inbound to the cloud, at rest in the cloud, and outbound to users.
Inbound to the cloud: Encrypted or secured data passage to the cloud always reduces the risk of third-parties being able to intercept the data. This is particularly important for data likely to be used by bad actors for nefarious purposes. Payment Card Information (PCI), Protected Health Insurance (PHI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Non-card Financial, and Confidential are among the most desirable kinds of data to bad actors.
At rest in the cloud: Reviewing the fine print in each cloud agreement regarding the type of security provided by the cloud owner when data is at rest goes a long way to enhancing an organization's overall cyber posture. Most fee-free cloud storage agreements provide little of any data protection, so an organization needs to perform its due diligence on the type of protection provided by the cloud provider in each cloud agreement.
For instance, depending on the type of data and the location where it will be stored, the level of data security would need to comply with a specific minimum level as required by state, federal, and international laws. The organization should know what level of security their data must have to be compliant with any applicable laws.
Outbound data to users: An organization's data protection efforts come to naught if data leaving the cloud destined for users do not receive appropriate protection. As part of the organization's practices for managing third parties (e.g., vendors, reporting agencies, regulators, joint venture partners, franchisees, etc.), users of data should be constantly reviewed for sound data security practices, such as Service Organization Controls (SOC 1 & 2). Also, the organization needs to stay on top of its access, security, and change management protocols and controls and constantly educate employees and third parties about the importance of sharing each type of data through the appropriate medium.
2: An organization should be aware of the type(s) of data in its data value chain most susceptible to loss from cloud usage.
Data containing PCI appears to be the data most desired by bad actors. According to Verizon's 2016 Data Breach Report, 27 percent of 53, 100 PCI records (using the median value of records for each type of data observed) experienced breach incidents compared to 11 percent of 1,000 PHI records; 48 percent of 761 PII records; and five percent of 55 Non-card Financial records. Because PCI data is most desired, its movement in and out of the cloud should be afforded a higher level of protection, e.g., encryption, as part of any organization's overall data security management.
3: Organizations should enforce security, change, and access management protocols and controls in real time to reduce risk in cloud computing.
Bad actors are constantly exploring potential weak links to find easy ways to penetrate an organization's data value chain. The cloud should not be considered a shield nor does it by default make data more secure. Data on its way to the cloud, at rest in the cloud, and leaving the cloud should continue to be managed by the organization's appropriate security, change, and access management protocols and controls in real time. To assist organizations in performing real-time management, a variety of security firms provide year-round, 24/7 enforcement of security, change, and access management protocols and controls.
Cloud computing has become a staple of many organizations' operations and several factors suggest both volume and demand will increase. First, the amount of data that organizations must analyze to make sound business decisions continues to grow and therefore organizations need to optimize capacity both to store and analyze data. Second, the ongoing maturation of the service sector in the U.S. economy means, businesses need 24/7 access to data to remain competitive. Third, as bad actors become more and more sophisticated, organizations need to stay extra vigilant not only in protecting data but in having an avenue to recover data and to remediate in the event of corrupted data. Data backup is an excellent fallback position to deploy in the event of corrupted data. Finally, the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of business continues to push organizations to collaborate more with each other and the cloud provides a great avenue for this collaboration.
The optimal approach to managing risk in cloud computing is for an organization to clearly understand the security afforded in its entire data value chain, the types of data that are most susceptible to loss or misuse, and for the organization to continue to enforce security, change, and access management protocols and controls in real time. Only when these steps are taken an organization can feel that it has a robust front for managing and protecting one of its most critical assets.


Pain is rarely "all in your head."
Often all conditions related to the pain need to be treated concurrently in order for the patient to get any relief.Thoughts and emotions related to chronic pain also can both aggravate and alleviate the pain. For example, depression, which is a serious disease, can worsen the pain. Sleep problems, again caused by the pain, can also make the pain worse. And increased pain usually leads to increased sleep problems .
Often, chronic pain is caused by nerves that continue to send pain signals to the brain. When dealing with chronic pain, one of the most frustrating things is that there is nothing to "fix." It just exists in your body.
