Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein synthesized in the endothelium. In the circulation, Protein S exists in two forms: a free form and a complex form bound to complement protein C4b. In humans, protein S is encoded by the PROS1 gene.[1][2]
2 Pathology
3 Interactions
The best characterized function of Protein S is its role in the anti coagulation pathway, where it functions as a cofactor to Protein C in the inactivation of Factors Va and VIIIa. Only the free form has cofactor activity.[3]
Protein S can bind to negatively charged phospholipids via the carboxylated GLA domain. This property allows Protein S to function in the removal of cells which are undergoing apoptosis. Apoptosis is a form of cell death that is used by the body to remove unwanted or damaged cells from tissues. Cells which are apoptotic (ie. in the process of apoptosis) no longer actively manage the distribution of phospholipids in their outer membrane and hence begin to display negatively charged phospholipids, such as phosphatidyl serine, on the cell surface. In healthy cells, an ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)-dependent enzyme removes these from the outer leaflet of the cell membrane. These negatively charged phospholipids are recognized by phagocytes such as macrophages. Protein S can bind to the negatively charged phospholipids and function as a bridging molecule between the apoptotic cell and the phagocyte. The bridging property of Protein S enhances the phagocytosis of the apoptotic cell, allowing it to be removed 'cleanly' without any symptoms of tissue damage such as inflammation occurring.
Mutations in the PROS1 gene can lead to Protein S deficiency which is a rare blood disorder which can lead to an increased risk of thrombosis.[4][5]
Protein S has been shown to interact with Factor V.[6][7]

If you buy properties to rent them, you can become rich, as these types of real estate holding increase your cash flow. The idea is to make sure that the cash flow is positive. Therefore, you need to make sure that after you pay the mortgage and related expenses, you receive a profit. Some people may use their primary residence for this purpose. For example, they may rent out an additional space or bedroom in their home to produce rental income. A real estate agent can help you by explaining the alternatives.
If you choose the right home in the right location, it may appreciate over time. This is a smart move if you want to make sure that you have enough money for retirement. By choosing an up-and-coming neighbourhood in which to live, your house will be worth more when you are ready to retire. Indeed, location is important if you want to make the most of your money and become wealthy.
Leverage is another advantage that comes with owning a property. When you regularly pay down your mortgage, you give yourself the chance to use your home's equity. You can use this approach by owning several properties, as well. Whether you are using your own house or using multiple buildings for this purpose, you have the ability to cash out and make money at any time.
If you rent properties, you will experience a few more tax benefit than if you merely own your home. For example, if you are a landlord, you can take deductions in interest, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation. You can also deduct business write-offs. If you sell any of your properties, you can reinvest the sale proceeds into a new piece of real estate. Doing so will defer the capital gains tax. Therefore, when you buy real estate, or if you want to build a portfolio, you need to consult with a tax consultant, as well. For more information, Chestnut Park offers additional resources on their website.
You can also benefit by owning real estate from improvements. In fact, the cost of the improvements is often offset by how the property increases in value. The best improvements to make are in the kitchen and bathroom. These are the two areas that are used the most often by homeowners. Therefore, you are more likely to experience an increase in your property's value – one that will help negate the cost of the improvement.
You just need to plan wisely in this respect. For example, adding a swimming pool may not increase your property's value because it increases liability. In addition, not all homeowners swim. Therefore, this type of improvement may prove to be counterproductive.


Below are some quick images of how I used a peltier device from a 12V beverage cooler ($25) and a metal coffee canister ($5) along with a styrofoam cooler ($3) to build a peltier cooling system for my modified Canon XSi (450D).
In the above image the peltier cooled Canon XSi (on left) is in the focuser of an Astro-Tech 127mm triplet refractor. On the right is a Meade DSI Pro imager in the focuser of an Orion ED80 used for autoguiding.
UPDATE: Testing of the camera cooler gave a temperature drop that I was not satisfied with, so I built another version of the cooler. Click Here for details of Version II of the camera cooler.

Here is where you can order extra items for your timers: from software to upgrades, cables and testing older units.
Make sure you have everything you need for your race!
This a cable you can use to connect the timer to your computer. It's a DB9 male to DB9 female serial port cable. This cable is 3 meters long (9.84 feet). The length of this cable can NOT be changed.
This cable can be used with any of our timers, including the TURBO.
Our custom black carrying case holds all your timer equipment for the Turbo Lite Timer and for the original DTX000 product line. You can put the timer, sensors, cables, cable ties, manual, and AC adapter into this case. The top level holds the timer. The top piece of foam lifts out and underneath is the lower level. The lower level holds all of your sensors, cable wraps, computer cable, etc.
This is an additional bridge module for the TURBO Finish Line Timer. Use this to add up to two extra lanes to an existing finish line system or to have a spare bridge module on hand.
Note, if you are adding more lanes to your system, you will also need extra IR Emitters for your new two lanes, one extra lane module (the numbers that light up) per each new lane and bridge support brackets to support this extra bridge. All of these are found in the Turbo Catalog and in the Options Catalog section of our webpage.
Spare IR Emitters for the TURBO Timer product. Choose cable length of 12" or 24".
This is a pair of bridge support brackets that help stabilize the bridge over the finish line. You must select the correct size (3.25", 3.5", 3.75", 4.0") of your track/finish line as well as the number of lanes you need these supports for. (3-4, 5-6, 7-8 lanes). Current products are shipped with these already. Those who have older units may need to purchase these for upgrading their product's stability.
This is an extra switch for your starting lever and an extra cable that will run from the switch to the timer. The cable's standard length is 40 feet. This switch is used with any of our timers in the DTX000 Product line and also is used to start the TURBO.
If you require the cable to have a different length, you must order the $4.00 charge for each cable length you need to be different than the standard length. You may order these changes in the same section of our catalog, under Optional Items, "Change the length of a cable".
You may request to change the length of the cables for either the start switch cable and for each lane's finish sensor cable. The standard lengths are: 40 feet for the start switch and 10 feet for each lane's stop sensor. You need to order 1 $4.00 charge for each cable you wish to have modified. After entering the quantity needed changing, you must enter the exact length you need for each cable in the comments section of this item--to the right on this page. Note: the length of the Computer Interface Cable can NOT be changed. If you require a different length for this cable, you should try to order it from your local computer store.
Order one each for lanes 4 through 8 if your track has more than 3 lanes. Or if you would like to have some extra sensors as spares. The cable length is 10 feet. This length can be altered if needed, but you must purchase the additional $4.00 charge per each cable you need altered. These charges are also listed in this section under Optional Items. These stop sensors are used only with the DTX000 Product line and are not needed with the TURBO.
This kit allows you to upgrade a DT1000 (purchased after Sept 1, 1999) to a DT2000. This will give you the ability to now time 2 lanes. It includes the DT2000 chip, removal tool, labels, manual, and installation instructions.
This kit allows you to upgrade a DT1000 (purchased after Sept 1, 1999) to a DT8000. This will give you the ability to time from 1 to 8 lanes. It includes the DT8000 chip, removal tool, labels, manual, and installation instructions.
This kit allows you to upgrade a DT2000 to a DT8000. This will give you the ability to time from 1 to 8 lanes. It includes the DT8000 chip, removal tool, labels, manual, and installation instructions.
You must specify the lane spacing of your track (measure from the center of lane 1 to the center of lane 2 and go across the track) and how many lanes you are upgrading to.
The 2L upgrade kit will contain: 1 bridge module, 2 lane modules, and 2 12" IR emitters, plus one set of bridge support brackets, U brackets and a 3V Distribution Board.
You must specify the lane spacing of your track (measure from the center of lane 1 to the center of lane 2 and go across the track).
The 3L upgrade kit will contain: 2 bridge modules, 3 lane modules, and 3 12" IR emitters, plus one set of bridge support brackets, U brackets and a 3V Distribution Board.
The 4L upgrade kit will contain: 2 bridge modules, 4 lane modules, 3 12" IR emitters and 1 24" IR emitter, plus one set of bridge support brackets, U brackets and a 3V Distribution Board.
The 5L upgrade kit will contain: 3 bridge modules, 5 lane modules, 3 12" IR emitters and 2 24" IR emitter, plus one set of bridge support brackets, U brackets and a 3V Distribution Board.
The 6L upgrade kit will contain: 3 bridge modules, 6 lane modules, 3 12" IR emitters and 3 24" IR emitter, plus one set of bridge support brackets, U brackets and a 3V Distribution Board.

On a DVD player or a VCR with a timer/clock display set the movie at 15:50. Right around this time Marv (Mickey Rourke) is in a police car. After taking care of the first cop you'll see a backview camera shot of the car, where the car stops. The passenger door then opens and the second cop is thrown out. As the second cop is thrown you'll hear the scream of the Wilhelm.
For those unfamiliar with the Wilhelm, it is almost a ritual among sound editors to slip that sound track into almost any movie. The scream is of a man, but it sounds a little goofy. The sound track is at least 60 years old and I can vouch that it occurs in movies such as Star Wars Episode IV, Indiana Jones I, Hellboy, and Lord of the Rings (Two Towers and Return of the King). I know there are others who can identify more instances of this but have fun trying to find them on your own.


This is a powerful play that tackles issues of politics and religion not through patronization, but through masterful writing and storytelling. It's a story about a woman, her loved ones, and personal tragedy—sadly in stark contrast to the crass and vicious public manner in which the topic of abortion is usually discussed. At times it's brutal to watch, and there was a lump in my throat throughout (despite ever-present bumpin' tunes from the neighboring NY Ave Beach Bar). Heffron builds the plot expertly, and keeps the script moving with poignant and humorous visits from 12th Century Catholic Saint Thomas Aquinas (John C.

I loved this cover and many of my friends are fans of this author so I decided to give it ago. This is the second book in this series but you can read it as a standalone because the author fills you in but I'd still like to go back and read the first one.
Leesa was extremely likable and I connected with her. Cole was pretty perfect. Even his 'baggage' wasn't that bad and they were pretty perfect together. Poor Leesa on the other hand had a lot to deal with.
The author's writing style is fantastic but parts were a little on the slow side for me but it got better.
This was a sweet story about finding grounding after something devastating. It was a good read and I'm going to read the books I've already picked up from this author and the first in this series.
Peaceful Harbor looks like it would be a nice place to visit.
I bought this book to facilitate my review. No compensation was received.
Sounds perfect doesn't it 'Peaceful Harbor' what a place to live in!


Atlantic articles from the 19th and 20th centuries reflect France's ongoing struggle with authority.
On July 14th, France commemorates its first step towards overthrowing its last monarchy. Yet the glorious days of the 1789 Revolution did not suffice to establish a lasting republic. A review of The Atlantic's archives reveals that the siege of the Bastille was only the first in a series of clashes between the French people's revolutionary spirit and their leaders' monarchical ambitions.
By the time The Atlantic's first issue was printed in 1857, France had gone through two republics, a directory, a consulate, three kings and an emperor, and it was settling in a period of relative stability under its second emperor. Napoleon III's coup d'état in 1851 put an end to the short-lived Second Republic, thwarting hopes that the 1848 revolution—in which the French deposed their last king, Louis Philippe—would usher in a stable democracy.
In 1870, France's humiliating defeat to Prussia led to the collapse of Napoleon's rule and the establishment of the Third Republic. But this new regime got off to a rocky start. In March 1871, citizen militias joined forces with soldiers to form the short-lived Paris Commune, an anarchist government that was defeated in bloody massacres after only two months.
We need not recall how the Bourbon princes trampled under foot till 1789 the growing spirit of democracy among their subjects; or how under Louis Philippe the bourgeoisie quietly absorbed all the powers and all the honors of the state; or how the Bonapartes flattered the people with plebiscites which bore false witness. The essential fact is that not one of those dynasties has made a sincere and intelligent effort to deal with democracy as something which can be fostered and utilized, but cannot be exterminated. Each has sought by its own method do destroy the indestructible.
The bourgeoisie, the great middle class, the scholars and writers of the Academy have stood by with folded arms, sneering at the patient awkwardness of the republican workmen, and waiting for the day when the slender edifice should tumble to the ground. They hate the republic cordially and openly. Their hopes all centre in a government of 'gentlemen,' and they have no patient with the vulgar theory.
There is indeed something in Blum's personality which is—I will not say un-French—but unusual in a political leader; and that is a capacity for intellectual sincerity blended with a quasi-feminine sensitiveness, an idealism the doors of which are always left open to enable him to seek an escape from the harsh contradictions of reality and soar above then, a general attitude of optimism and faith in the future of humanity.
The Dreyfus Affair was understood by them as a sequence of the French Revolution, in the sense that once more established privileges—and of the most sacred kind—had to be attacked in the name of justice. And for the same reason it can be regarded now as a preface to the bloodless victory of the Popular Front in 1936. The three episodes repeat the same pattern: the periodical storming of the Bastille, which although it was materially razed in 1789, still stands as the symbol of an eternal conflict between the struggle for more power, in the name of more equality, and the defense of acquired power, in the name of prudence and the sacredness of tradition.
Even as de Sales celebrated the Popular Front's progressive reforms, comparing them to the American New Deal, dark clouds were gathering across the German frontier. Within months of the launch of the Second World War, Adolf Hitler's armies defeated France and the Third Republic collapsed. The Popular Front's dreams of justice evaporated as France sank into the nightmare of collaborationist Vichy rule.
After the war, France attempted to return to political normalcy. But just as the Third Republic had been doomed by its failure to prepare for the Nazi threat, the Fourth Republic was fatally weakened by the Algerian War. Irreconcilable differences over Algeria's demands for independence destabilized successive governments. In the spring of 1958, the political situation became chaotic and the French army pressured Parliament to give the power to General Charles de Gaulle.
In a report on his behavior which has been preserved at the Ecole de Guerre de Paris, one of de Gaulle's instructors noted: "Looks like a King in exile." The author of this caustic comment could not have guessed that in less than a dozen years this haughty major would pick up the tattered mantle of French sovereignty and wrap himself in it as proudly and intransigently as any Bourbon proclaiming the divine right of kings. Nor could he foresee that once this mystic investiture had been accomplished, no power on earth could persuade him to relinquish it.
Not since the days of the Paris Commune in 1871 had the country witnessed such an uprising of students and labor, dominating the streets and the factories. Some spontaneous emotional chemistry achieved overnight what no trade union movement could have done: a strike of more than 10 million workers, tying up almost every factory of any size throughout the whole country.
The problems which the crisis exposed and which the government now faces are problems which it should have been facing five years ago—the education explosion, need for decentralization of France's Napoleonic administrative structure, concerted regional development, better population distribution, industrial expansion and productivity, the eternal farm problem, better distribution of the national budget, more refrigerators, and fewer nuclear bombs. The problems have been here all along, but Gaullism by its nature seems to reinforce conservatism and traditionalism.
De Gaulle abruptly resigned a few months after Cook's article was published, but the governmental apparatus he had put in place survived. De Gaulle was gone, but Gaullism remained. By 1978, however, polls indicated that the country was heading towards the first political change-over of the Fifth Republic.
In "At Last, the Demise of Gaullism" (February 1978), Patricia H. Painton depicted the political landscape on the eve of suspenseful congressional elections. She explained that the deteriorating economic conditions—the 1979 oil crisis, rising unemployment, and an untamed inflation rate—had helped to boost the Socialist Party and its leader, François Mitterrand, into a winning position.
Among the industrialized democracies, France is the only country in which a defeat of the ruling majority could produce not the accession to power of a loyal opposition but profound changes in French institutions and the balance of economic and social power.
The Right narrowly won the 1978 congressional elections, but this victory only delayed the inevitable. Mitterrand prevailed in the 1981 presidential election and immediately launched a series of major reforms: he abolished the death penalty, freed the media, increased the minimum wage and shortened the workweek. His victory seemed to signify that the French republic had matured at least—that years of heavy-handed governance would finally give way to full-blown democracy.
That the change happened so fast—well within two decades—and on so vast a scale explains better than any reading of the constitution how incorrigibly imperial are the powers of a French leader. Without the tiring distraction of debate in Parliament, a good $6 billion of taxpayers' money was spent at the President's personal behest on the renewal of Paris: a splendid revamping of the Louvre, a monumental national library in the east, a celestial arch in the west, an opera house in Bastille and enough striking novelties in between to shake up every tourist's yellowing fantasies of the city.
A French President can impose almost anything on the French if he wraps it up as essential to the nation's gloire. The French display more concern than most for liberty, and a little less than most for democracy. All the best for us tourists. If other rich nations conducted themselves less democratically, they might have capital cities to compare to Paris.
Yet this selection of Atlantic articles challenges Lawday's assertion. In fact, over the past two centuries, the French people have continually rejected unpopular reforms and kept authoritarian governments in check. The rise and fall of the Paris Commune, the May 1968 protests, the Socialist victories of 1936 and 1981, and large-scale protests against Jacques Chirac's government as recently as 2006—all of these point to the people's determination to keep the spirit of 1789 alive.

The Pillars of Hercules (, , , ) was the phrase that was applied in Antiquity to the promontories that flank the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The northern Pillar, Calpe Mons, is the Rock of Gibraltar. A corresponding North African peak not being predominant, the identity of the southern Pillar, Abila Mons, has been disputed throughout history, with the two most likely candidates being Monte Hacho in Ceuta and Jebel Musa in Morocco.

History
According to Greek mythology adopted by the Etruscans and Romans, when Hercules had to perform twelve labours, one of them (the tenth) was to fetch the Cattle of Geryon of the far West and bring them to Eurystheus; this marked the westward extent of his travels. A lost passage of Pindar quoted by Strabo was the earliest traceable reference in this context: "the pillars which Pindar calls the 'gates of Gades' when he asserts that they are the farthermost limits reached by Heracles". Since there has been a one-to-one association between Heracles and Melqart since Herodotus, the "Pillars of Melqart" in the temple near Gades/Gádeira (modern Cádiz) have sometimes been considered to be the true Pillars of Hercules.

Plato placed the fictional island of Atlantis beyond the "Pillars of Hercules". Renaissance tradition says the pillars bore the warning Ne plus ultra (also Non plus ultra, "nothing further beyond"), serving as a warning to sailors and navigators to go no further.

According to some Roman sources, while on his way to the garden of the Hesperides on the island of Erytheia, Hercules had to cross the mountain that was once Atlas. Instead of climbing the great mountain, Hercules used his superhuman strength to smash through it. By doing so, he connected the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and formed the Strait of Gibraltar. One part of the split mountain is Gibraltar and the other is either Monte Hacho or Jebel Musa. These two mountains taken together have since then been known as the Pillars of Hercules, though other natural features have been associated with the name.

Diodorus Siculus, however, held that, instead of smashing through an isthmus to create the Straits of Gibraltar, Hercules "narrowed" an already existing strait to prevent monsters from the Atlantic Ocean from entering the Mediterranean Sea.

In some versions, Heracles instead built the two to hold the sky away from the earth, liberating Atlas from his damnation.

Phoenician connection
Beyond Gades, several important Mauretanian colonies (in modern-day Morocco) were founded by the Phoenicians as the Phoenician merchant fleet pushed through the Pillars of Hercules and began constructing a series of bases along the Atlantic coast starting with Lixus in the north, then Chellah and finally Mogador.

Near the eastern shore of the island of Gades/Gadeira (modern Cádiz, just beyond the strait) Strabo describes the westernmost temple of Tyrian Heracles, the god with whom Greeks associated the Phoenician and Punic Melqart, by interpretatio graeca. Strabo notes that the two bronze pillars within the temple, each eight cubits high, were widely proclaimed to be the true Pillars of Hercules by many who had visited the place and had sacrificed to Heracles there. But Strabo believes the account to be fraudulent, in part noting that the inscriptions on those pillars mentioned nothing about Heracles, speaking only of the expenses incurred by the Phoenicians in their making.  The columns of the Melqart temple at Tyre were also of religious significance.

The Pillars in Syriac geography
Syriac scholars were aware of the Pillars through their efforts to translate Greek scientific works into their language as well as into Arabic. The Syriac compendium of knowledge known as Ktaba d'ellat koll 'ellan (The Cause of All Causes) is unusual in asserting that there were three, not two, columns.

In art

Dante's Inferno
In Inferno XXVI Dante Alighieri mentions Ulysses in the pit of the Fraudulent Counsellors and his voyage past the Pillars of Hercules. Ulysses justifies endangering his sailors by the fact that his goal is to gain knowledge of the unknown. After five months of navigation in the ocean, Ulysses sights the mountain of Purgatory but encounters a whirlwind from it that sinks his ship and all on it for their daring to approach Purgatory while alive, by their strength and wits alone.

Sir Francis Bacon's Novum Organum

The Pillars appear prominently on the engraved title page of Sir Francis Bacon's Instauratio Magna ("Great Renewal"), 1620, an unfinished work of which the second part was his influential Novum Organum. The motto along the base says Multi pertransibunt et augebitur scientia ("Many will pass through and knowledge will be the greater").  The image was based on the use of the pillars in Spanish and Habsburg propaganda.

In architecture
On the Spanish coast at Los Barrios are Torres de Hercules which are twin towers that were inspired by the Pillars of Hercules. These towers were the tallest in Andalusia until Cajasol Tower was completed in Seville in 2015.

In the southern wall of the National Autonomous University of Mexico's Central Library, the mural Historical Representation of Culture, created by the artist Juan O'Gorman, portrays a depiction of the Pillars of Hercules as an allusion to the colonial past of Mexico and the house of Charles V.

Coat of arms of Spain

The Pillars appear as supporters of the coat of arms of Spain, originating in the impresa of Spain's sixteenth century king Charles I, who was also the Holy Roman Emperor as Charles V. It was an idea of the Italian humanist Luigi Marliano. It bears the motto Plus Ultra, Latin for further beyond, implying that the pillars were a gateway. This was modified from the phrase Nec plus ultra, Nothing more beyond after the discovery of the Americas, which laid to rest the idea of the Pillars of Hercules as the westernmost extremity of the inhabitable world which had prevailed since Antiquity.

Peter Brotzmann/Haazz & Company
Peter Brotzmann
Fuck De Boere
Haazz & Company
Unlawful Noise
Atavistic
Atavistic's Unheard Music Series continues with two classic pieces of European free improvisation. There's a few players shared on the pair (Peter Brotzmann and Han Bennink), but more importantly, they both have that visceral urgency which characterized Euro free-improv in late sixties through the '70s.
Fuck De Boere consists of two pieces. The first is a recently unearthed recording of the classic "Machine Gun." This piece, from 1968, is one of the foundational pieces of European improv, and this recording is better than the one on FMP. The line-up is almost the same (William Breuker, Peter Brotzmann, and Evan Parker on saxophones, Fred Van Hove on piano, Peter Kowald and Buschi Niebergall on basses, and Han Bennink and Sven-Ake Johansson on drums), save the addition of Gerd Dudek on sax. It's as roaring, climactic, and thrilling as you remember it being. Dudek makes the horn section even more powerful, with the drums, basses, and piano competing even harder to be heard. Evan Parker is suitably brilliant, and it was his playing on the original "Machine Gun" that really helped to cultivate my love of improvised music. This recording of "Machine Gun" is worth the price of admission.
The title piece is no chopped liver, however. It's dedicated to South African bassist Johnny Dyani, the subject of the personal liner notes by Brotzmann. This session, from 1970, sports four trombonists (Paul Rutherford, Malcolm Griffiths, William de Manen, and Buschi Niebergall). They slightly outnumber William Breuker, Peter Brotzmann, and Evan Parker on saxophones. Fred Van Hove plays organ (!) on the piece, and Derek Bailey is about as wild as I've ever heard him on guitar. Han Bennink rounds the ensemble out on drums. The session is amazing, with a lot of variations in dynamics and plenty of space for smaller groupings of players within the pieces. Bailey's playing is amazing; about 25 minutes into the piece, there's a hellraising duet guitar and overdriven duet between Bailey and Van Hove. Overall, it's a crucial piece of music, and some of the most viscerally alive music that I've heard.
Kees Hazevoet is the leader of the two sessions that comprise Unlawful Noise (which is a pretty a propos title). He was a strong influence in the Dutch free music underground, which he left before the likes of William Breuker, Misha Mengelberg, and Han Bennink really brought it to the prominence charted in Kevin Whitehead's New Dutch Swing.
The release of Unlawful Noise with that of Fuck De Boere is very appropriate. Johnny Dyani, the dedicatee of Fuck De Boere plays bass here, while Brotzmann and Han Bennink also play here. It's not fair to put Unlawful Noise in comparison up to Fuck De Boere though. The band that played "Machine Gun" had been perfecting that piece for a while, while this band — which also includes Peter Bennink on tenor sax and clarinets, Kees Hazevolet on piano and B-flat clarinet, and South African Louis Moholo on drums — seems to be a more ad hoc grouping. They don't have the sense of dynamics; everything is very, very dense and the musicians don't have a much chance to solo in any shape. All of the playing also really strong, but Hazevolet's piano interacts beautifully with Brotzmann's tenor on the title track. The bagpipes are also very unexpected. The two tracks (which span over 50 minutes) provide an insight into the more unknown roots of Dutch free jazz, and a wild, rollicking ride. Decidedly recommended.

Q: How to add message to a field in a form I have the following snippet code and I would like to a message to the field which the FIELD Variable is holding. Here I'm adding a red colored border to the field:
(field.style.borderColor = 'red';)
and now I would like to add a message to it right after setting the red border.
How do I do that ?
    // Show erroroneous fields in red
    var formFields = thisForm.find('input,textarea,select');
    var numberOfElements = formFields.length;

    for (var fieldIndex = 0; fieldIndex < numberOfElements; fieldIndex++) {

      var field = formFields[fieldIndex];
      field.style.borderColor = '';

      for (var key in jqXHR.responseJSON) {
        //if (jqXHR.responseJSON.hasOwnProperty(key) && field.id.includes(key)) {
        if (field.id.endsWith(key) || field.id.endsWith(key + '_id')) {
          //console.log(key + " = " + jqXHR.responseJSON[key]);
          field.style.borderColor = 'red';
        }
      }
    }

Thank you in advance for any response.
DANI

A: Ok, I have managed to resolve it:
    // Show erroroneous fields in red
    var formFields = thisForm.find('input,textarea,select');
    var numberOfElements = formFields.length;

    for (var fieldIndex = 0; fieldIndex < numberOfElements; fieldIndex++) {

      var field = formFields[fieldIndex];
      field.style.borderColor = '';

      for (var key in jqXHR.responseJSON) {
        //if (jqXHR.responseJSON.hasOwnProperty(key) && field.id.includes(key)) {
        if (field.id.endsWith(key) || field.id.endsWith(key + '_id')) {
          //console.log(key + " = " + jqXHR.responseJSON[key]);
          field.style.borderColor = 'red';
          var currentElement = formFields[fieldIndex];
          $( "
"+jqXHR.responseJSON[key].valueOf()+"
" ).insertAfter( currentElement );
        }
      }
    }

The Main Room will be the center of attention with a sprawling dance floor, two bars and an elevated DJ booth. State-of-the-art sound and lighting blanket every room of Gallery, where renowned DJs will spin a mix of house, mash-ups, hip-hop and top 40 -- an eclectic blend that will keep the crowds partying late into the night.
Gorgeous go-go dancers styled in voyeuristic fashions will perform nightly, while stunning acrobats will perform from netted platforms, dangling from the nightclub's ceiling. Candlelit glass fireplaces will be scattered throughout the venue, creating a sexy, sensual and mysterious glow in all the rooms.

As per the latest Anarock research, the first quarter of 2022 saw housing sales of at least 99,550 units across the top seven cities, of which the share of NRI purchases was up to 15 percent.
The research also showed that an overwhelming majority of non-resident Indians (NRIs), as high as 82 percent, now prefer to buy premium to luxury residential properties in their home country, a major change from the past when Gulf-based expat Indians mainly preferred low-priced houses in the affordable category.

There is always need for financial assistance that can help to sustain yourself through the week, month and also year. When you are in such a financial crisis, you can always get in touch with a bad credit installment loan provider, and they can assist you. The old-style lenders can be hesitant to provide you with a loan when it can be proven that you have a bad credit history. This is a very bad situation in which you can find yourself in, and you always look for ways in which you can solve that temporarily. When you are in a financial crisis, and at the same time you have a bad credit history, you might not know which is the best option that you will need to take. The process that is involved in getting a standard payday loan is not hard.
You will hence get some money right away and that is what you can use to get food to help you to the next day. You will feel a sense of reprieve when you can manage to pay for things such as food bills. You should not worry when you have a poor credit since you can still get a loan through payday loan. However, when you are considering these payday loans, you should not use them for a long time. Another category which belongs to the short-term loans industry is the installment loans. You will get a loan which is flexible and provides you with more power through using the installment loans. The installment loans are usually bigger, and it is because of such that you can buy what you want.
Some of the things that you can use to do with installment loans include buying textbooks, starting up a business, buying a laptop and also renting an apartment. There are many things that you can do with your installment loan, and the things that you do can make a difference. The relevant credit agencies will be aware of the payments that you make towards your installment loan. The issue of being with a poor credit history will be rubbed off when you made each payment, and the transaction was reported to the various credit agencies.
For those individuals that have a poor credit history, they might find it hard to secure another loan, and they badly need a loan, and this situation can always be solved when you get in touch with online financial services. These services have an online marketplace and this is where you can select the type of lender that you want to work with. Online financial services are available for you when you have an electronic device which has internet access. When you get a lender of your choice, you can then go ahead and apply for their loan online.

A flaperon (a portmanteau of flap and aileron) on an aircraft's wing is a type of control surface that combines the functions of both flaps and ailerons.  Some smaller kitplanes have flaperons for reasons of simplicity of manufacture, while some large commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 747, 767, 777, and 787 may have a flaperon between the flaps and aileron. The 787 has a configuration known as a SpoileFlaperon that combines the action of spoilers, flaps and ailerons into one control surface.

Operation
In addition to controlling the roll or bank of an aircraft, as do conventional ailerons, both flaperons can be lowered together to reduce stall speed, similarly to a set of flaps.

On a plane with flaperons, the pilot still has the standard separate controls for ailerons and flaps, but the flap control also varies the flaperon's range of movement. A mechanical device called a "mixer" is used to combine the pilot's input into the flaperons. While the use of flaperons rather than ailerons and flaps might seem to be a simplification, some complexity remains through the intricacies of the mixer.

Some aircraft, such as the Denney Kitfox, suspend the flaperons below the wing (rather in the manner of slotted flaps) to provide undisturbed airflow at high angles of attack or low airspeeds.  When the flaperon surface is hinged below the trailing edge of a wing, they are sometimes named "Junker Flaperons", from the doppelflügel (lit., "double wing") type of trailing edge surfaces used on a number of Junkers aircraft of the 1930s, such as the Junkers Ju 52 airliner, and the iconic Junkers Ju 87 Stuka  World War II dive bomber.

Research
Current research seeks to coordinate the functions of aircraft flight control surfaces (ailerons, elevators, elevons, flaps, and flaperons) so as to reduce weight, cost, drag, inertia, and thereby achieve improved control response, reduced complexity, and reduced radar visibility for stealth purposes. Beneficiaries of such research might include drones (UAVs) and the latest fighter aircraft.

These research approaches include flexible wings and fluidics:

Flexible wings
In flexible wings, much or all of a wing surface can change shape in flight to deflect air flow. The X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing is a NASA effort. The Adaptive Compliant Wing is a military and commercial effort.  This may be seen as a return to the wing warping used and patented by the Wright brothers.

Fluidics
In fluidics, forces in vehicles occur via circulation control, in which larger, more complex mechanical parts are replaced by smaller simpler fluidic systems (slots which emit air flows), where larger forces in fluids are diverted by smaller jets or flows of fluid intermittently, to change the direction of vehicles. In this use, fluidics promises lower mass, costs (up to 50% less), and very low inertia and response times, as well as simplicity.

Hi everyone and welcome to my pets 4 dummies website. My name is Virginia Buffett and I am the administrator here at Pets 4 dummies. I have been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. Now that I am semi-retired, I have decided to put that passion into a fun and informative platform here at pets4dummies.com.
As a child, I grew up in a low-income, large family. I was number six out of seven children. Since my parents were separated, I spent winters in a small town with my mother and summers on a farm with my father. There were many pets and farm animals that I loved and learned from over the years. I've had a plethora of small animals; several birds (including chickens) and even pot-bellied pigs as beloved pets. I developed very strong bonds with each beloved pet that has ever owned me! Those bonds have enriched my life and made me a better person. I have also learned many things from these beloved friends along the way.
Now it is time to pass some of those things along to YOU!
I love to learn new things and I love to share what I have learned. What better place to do that than right here? Having so many siblings and scarce money growing up, I learned many ways to keep my pets happy and healthy without spending unnecessary (and usually unavailable) cash. Even as I grew into adulthood, I was always looking for neat new ideas to keep my best buddies happy, safe, and healthy. At Pets 4 dummies, I am excited to pass some of those tips and hints on to you.
It is my goal here at Pets 4 Dummies to continue to educate myself about all types of pets and back yard animals, then pass This incites and tips on to you. I will be researching products and websites that can be of use to new and "seasoned" owners of various pets. I know that you love your new buddy, and want what is best for him/her or them. It is my goal to help you in that endeavor.
I look forward to reading more of your posts and articles!
They will be coming soon! I am still building this site.

A number of years ago I was retained to provide marketing communications services for a San Diego-based dating site. Good concept, decent funding from private sources, number of stories generated across various media genres. Ultimately, however, it wasn't enough. Competition was too fierce; site just wasn't attracting enough eyeballs and the venture folded.
Fast forward to 2015. Buddy of mine asked if I knew of any good dating sites as he was, to quote him, 'back in the game.' Told him I hadn't been following the space for awhile but was curious to see how the industry had evolved.
The dating industry has become huge - $2.2 billion in 2014 according to market research firm IBISWorld; $2.7 billion by 2019. And Pew Research says that of Americans in a committed relationship that have used an online dating site, one in three met online.
Decided to have a little fun so did a bit of research/searching for oddball, offbeat and in some cases, truly weird dating sites. All seem to be flourishing; many have attracted advertising. In short, your future significant other may just be a few clicks away, no matter your fetishes.
Vampersonals – Still searching for that special undead darling? For those with enlarged incisors, this site's especially for you. Vampersonals boasts "whether you want to meet others like you for simple recreation and a drink, or find that special someone to shine within the dark for you, come check us out! We don't bite…too hard." Reckon that drink's probably red-hued.
Women Behind Bars– This started out as a pen pal site but has grown considerably since then. Looking for that special woman doing 5 to 20 but really don't want to commit to a long-term relationship? This one's for you then.
And advertisers apparently like the site's traffic. According to Todd Muffoletto, who founded the site, Women Behind Bars offers a banner rotation ad program; he says the site has also been the subject of 11 TV and 197 radio interviews and numerous print/web based articles.
Kingsnake After Dark – OK, this one admittedly creeps me out a bit. Billed as a 'herp-centric dating site' for snake lovers, Kingsnake After Dark is attracting advertisers, albeit most of them, not surprisingly, are reptilian-centric. The home page has an ad running alongside the site's main logo for Rodentpro.com®, which offers low prices for mice, rats, rabbits, chicks, and quail – everything you need to keep that seven-foot boa constrictor that lives under your bed well-fed and content.
SaladMatch.com – If you're a steak and potatoes kinda guy or girl, this site's probably not for you. But there are obviously a lot of arugula-lovers out there. The Facebook page has more than 11,000 Likes; Twitter followers are approaching 4,000. The site was launched by Just Salad, a New York City chain of salad restaurants/cafes. You can find your salad 'soul mate' by listing your favorite salad ingredients.
Whatever tickles your fancy, the online data industry's convinced there's someone out there waiting for you.


Peel police are appealing to the public for help in locating a man suspected of mischief after allegedly starting a small fire in his basement apartment in Mississauga.

This is my first 'big' Ludum Dare I do enter. I already entered 3 game making contests before (2 Mini-LD's) and won 2 of them (not both Mini-LD's). I'm planning on creating a working plan this time to make it less chaotic.
Already had several all nighters this week which I class as TRAINING!!!


You are here: Home / MONEY AND BUSINESS / Make More Money + Profit / This Is How You LIMIT Money!
I'm sat here in this beautiful hotel in Sydney, having an unbelievable amount of fun creating content. I know, what! BORE OFF! How can you be sat in a beautiful luxury hotel in one of the most amazing cities in the world, having fun… creating content!?
Well. Apart from the fact my content gets me to this amazing hotel 😉 it's also something I LOVE doing simply because for me writing is something I feel lost without.
And today is one of those days when everything is just FLOWY and really I can't create enough!
I've even done VIDEO! Complete with ridiculously curly hair (seriously if you missed out on that story over on fb, then you missed out, maybe)! AND got back to podcasting!
I kinda felt a bit, well, guilty.
And not only that I felt a bit, well… lost.
The thing is in my life I'd set up these weird kind of personal governance systems by which to know myself – yes I KNOW that makes no sense whatsoever and definitely not grammatically, but wait.
I had referred to myself in various ways.
Even writer, coach, photographer, creative, mother, wife, christian, vegetarian, waldorf homeschooler, nomad, female, art lover, hypnobirther, PTSD hero, speaker, and so on!
So many ways in which to understand myself! So many ways we can describe ourselves.
Ways in which I have LOVED describing as myself and relating to. Seeing myself as if in a mirror.
I started this weird thought train and here's a glimpse into the weirdness of my brain, by wondering HOW energy 'decided' to be male or female in the first place, and from there realised – of course then! Logically it can ONLY be this way, that before energy becomes male or female, it must be… just energy!
TRUE ABUNDANCE IS WITHOUT DEFINITION!
AND – therefore, true, full abundance can only be reached when we exist OUTSIDE OF definition!
THEY HAVE TO ALL BECOME ENTIRELY REDUNDANT IN ORDER TO GAIN TRUE EXPANSION OF WHAT YOU WANT.
Had I stayed as a photographer and not written a book and called myself an author, I would have always been 'just another photographer'. However, I escaped that single definition when I wrote the book, and as a result began to receive more expansion.
This expansion led to increase in income, clients, recognition, and joy as well as new channels for creativity – all because I chose to reject a single label and see myself as limitless!
Of course at the time I didn't think that – I was just writing a book!
But we are actually LIMITING our own EXPANSION as a result!
Of course, labels are useful, to a point. Maybe they help others understand what we 'do', like for example I think being able to be labeled a neurosurgeon is pretty useful! Wouldn't want to mess up those labels at the hospital!
That labels can actually trigger restriction instead.
Whether that was through my birth, or the way I answered questions in an online test, or my uni results, or the work that I do!
We are actually giving away our power and potential for greater abundance.
Is that actually where we have been taught to seek the label!
But to step into that metaphysical world where everything IS seamless and overflowing and easy!? That combination of mind + energy + magic + creatrix power!?
And tell yourself you are revitalised now, your energy is endless, and you are DONE with the tiredness. That's it, no more, only energy from here on.
I did this on the plane to Sydney, sat next to both the girls they were absorbed in their little sparkle magazines for a whole five minutes and I remember just feeling WIPED! Business is flying but even that brings growth challenges to overcome, I'd been up since 4am, and the adrenalin and anxiety I always get before traveling was running riot – I was WIPED!
And I couldn't literally believe the shift!! Sat on a plane and for the first time EVER, I think, I stayed awake on an entire plane journey! Note – I've never done this before.
Really IS keeping us locked in to that place because to move outside of it?
And you know 😉 we humans aren't that great at change on the whole!
Well. It's not really a question of 'how' so much. Not like you can change the stars you were born under, and besides, I love the beauty of night skies!
Of DECIDING, that those labels are simply no more than a way for the world to attempt to describe the full and abundant being that is you.
The question is more about belief, actually.
Can you begin to believe that there just might be a whole world of abundance RIGHT there waiting for you!?
Like you stepping into energy from exhaustion simply because you expect and demand nothing less?!
How can I be available for more abundance today?
How can I open into abundance today?
How can I receive more today?
Is simply code for love.
Because in the bible… it says something along the lines of… by this people will come to know you as my followers, if you show love for each other.
That are right there waiting for you.

An executive who has been helping steer Google's efforts to build self-driving cars is leaving the project after more than seven years on the job.
Google lured Urmson away from Carnegie-Mellon University in 2009 to direct the once-secret effort to build a fleet of cars that can navigate the roads on their own.
Last year, Google moved the lab developing the autonomous cars into a new company called Alphabet Inc., which hired auto industry executive John Krafcik to oversee the project.
Google's fleet of 58 self-driving cars has driven more than 1.8 million miles during test runs on public roads.

Uncertain Shield: The U.S. Intelligence System in the Throes of Reform
by Richard A. Posner
Ever since the publication in 2004 of the 9/11 Commission Report, the U.S. intelligence community has been in the throes of a convulsive movement for reform. In Preventing Surprise Attacks (2005), Richard A. Posner carried the story of the reform movement up to the enactment of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, which produced a defective plan for reorganizing the intelligence system, partly as result of the failure of the 9/11 Commission and Congress to bring historical, comparative, and scholarly perspectives to bear issues. At that time, however, the new structure had not yet been built. Posner's new book brings the story up to date. He argues that the decisions about structure that the Administration has made in implementation of the Act are creating too top-heavy, too centralized, an intelligence system. The book
exposes fallacies in criticisms of the performance of the U.S. intelligence services;
analyzes structures and priorities for directing and coordinating U.S. intelligence in the era of global terrorism;
presents new evidence for the need to create a domestic intelligence agency separate from the FBI, and a detailed blueprint for such an agency;
incorporates a wealth of material based on developments since the first book, including the report of the presidential commission on weapons of mass destruction and the botched response to Hurricane Katrina;
exposes the inadequacy of the national security computer networks;
critically examines Congress's performance in the intelligence field, and raises constitutional issues concerning the respective powers of Congress and the President;
emphasizes the importance of reforms that do not require questionable organizational changes.

The YouTube maths-teaching star shares how he didn't actually like his own school days, and the "surreal" award he won last year.
He's known as Australia's favourite maths teacher. He's a YouTube star for his maths lessons.
He was recognised as Australia's Local Hero in last year's Australian of the Year Awards for making maths more accessible and, perhaps, even cool.
So, it's a surprise to learn that Sydney-born Eddie Woo didn't actually enjoy school when he was young.
"I was one of the only Asian kids at my primary school, and children can be brutal sometimes. I don't think it was necessarily their fault, but I looked different and was a very bookish kind of child," he said.
For a man so synonymous with mathematics, it's also a surprise to learn maths wasn't his favourite subject at school.
He was planning to teach English or history once he'd finished his teaching degree, until a professor pointed out maths teachers were in short supply.
"The shortage of maths teachers still exists today because most people who are any good at the subject become engineers and actuaries, people who make real money, so there is always this struggle to find enough people to teach maths," Woo said.
He balances being head mathematics teacher at Sydney's Cherrybrook Technology High School with a role in the NSW Department of Education.
"It's a bit of a flowery title but I'm the leader of mathematics growth," he said.
But his reach extends much further, thanks to his massively popular YouTube channel, Wootube. He originally posted his first video of one of his lessons in 2012 to help a student who had been missing school because of cancer treatment.
"But, 20 million views later, it has become this amazing thing which people from around the world watch and learn from," said Woo, who lives with wife Michelle and their three young children in Sydney.
But, ultimately, nothing is more important to the 33-year-old than teaching the subject he's so passionate about.
"I've been asked a lot of times why I don't leave the classroom because I could have a broader impact (elsewhere) but I love working with kids," he said.
Eddie Woo's reach is extensive thanks to his YouTube channel, Wootube.
Saturdays involve lots of time with the family. My two boys play soccer and I'm the assistant coach of their team so, during the soccer season, Saturday mornings are taken up with that.
I'm terrible because I have a really big sweet tooth so I'll always gravitate towards anything with sugar in it. Luckily, I am blessed to have a naturally slender figure. But I do try to keep myself under a little bit of control, so maybe something simple like a muesli bar.
My children all have allergies — especially my middle son who is the most severe. As a consequence, we are quite restricted in the food they can eat. But I've discovered a way of cooking a roast pork belly with crispy crackling on top that is suitable for all of them.
A copy of a book called Hello World: How to be Human in the Age of the Machine by British mathematician Hannah Fry. I'm a very curious person and I'm really enjoying what I'm learning from it.
I've visited all kinds of places in Australia as part of my role as the Local Hero in the Australian of the Year Awards, and I've been lucky enough to travel to Africa and Dubai on some education-related things, but I think Sydney is the most beautiful city in Australia. There is a part of me that would love to live in Europe because I think I work better in a cooler climate but it's hard to go past Sydney.
It really depends on my mood but if I wanted to relax, I love the music of (Australian guitarist and singer/songwriter) Tommy Emmanuel. My other go-to is Coldplay. I'm a diehard fan so can listen to their music endlessly, which drives my wife crazy.
It's all about my wife and my kids. I grew up with only my immediate family here, and my mum passed away when I was 18, so a family for me is a really amazing, precious thing. Family is what drives me and is the most fundamental thing about me, far more than being a teacher, although I really love that.
I'm a really tidy person. I'm a fan of Marie Kondo's KonMari method of decluttering and organising and keeping everything nice and neat. I'm very much an 'everything has its place' kind of person. It's a bit harder with the kids' toys but we try our best. I went to Bunnings to buy some tool boxes with compartments so we could sort their Lego by shape and colour.
This is a photo of my mum, Angela. I was in my first year of uni when she passed away, which has shaped me as a human being in a really profound and deep way. It's also affected the way I look at kids. When I see one who is acting out or something like that, the first thing I think of is: what's going on in their home life? Because I know what happened in mine. My mum had lung cancer when I was in years 10, 11 and 12 and she didn't want anyone to know because she was quite private. So, people just saw me as someone who wasn't at school very much or as someone who fell asleep in class (but that was) because I had been up with her in the middle of the night, making sure she had her oxygen. The saddest thing is that I can't hear her voice in my head anymore because we didn't have any recordings of her, so this image is what sticks in my head.
Woo's mother, Angela, whose passing shaped Woo in a "profound and deep way".
These two little elephants were given to me as a gift from a set of schools in Uganda that are funded by an Australian organisation called the School for Life Foundation. I spent five days there in July, working with the kids and the teachers. To be able to contribute just a tiny amount of my time to help them enjoy mathematics, and also to equip and strengthen their teachers to do their work, was a life-changing experience for me. It really gave me an appreciation for what we enjoy in Australia with public education. In Uganda, particularly in those rural areas, if there is no school nearby, you just don't get to go to school. I really hope to continue working with (the foundation) in the years to come.
The gift from schools in Uganda.
I made this photo album when I was in years 11 and 12 and it's a bit of a tradition of mine to roll it out every year to show my students. I tell them that when I was at school there wasn't Facebook. Instead, we had actual books with photos in them. I love photography. In fact, I would have loved to have become a photojournalist in another life. I poured hundreds of hours into taking the photos and then recording the stories behind them. I did do another one throughout my university years but, during my third year, a friend asked to borrow it, and then subsequently left it on a train and I lost it. It sort of broke my heart and is still a bit of a raw nerve, which is why I don't do them anymore.
The album is full of photos and the stories behind them.
I've been a committed Christian since the age of seven. When I buy a bible, I always get one with a large margin so I can write notes about a particular passage: what does it mean or what is its relevance to my life? Being a Christian is a fundamental part of my identity. A big part of why I love teaching, for example, is because it is a serving profession. I love teaching in a public school because I get to give the gift of learning to the students I teach and I give that for free.
The large margin allows for Woo to add notes.
I played the piano when I was young and absolutely hated it. I was forced to sit through two hours of lessons a week and I never found any joy in it. When I was in high school, because there was no Facebook or YouTube or whatever, you had to be a lot more creative when you wanted to procrastinate. So I picked up a guitar and it became one of my favourite hobbies. I love listening to a song and working out how it is played. I know how to play every Coldplay song on my guitar. For me, discovering my love of music is very parallel to my joy of discovering mathematics in that it was something that I hated early in life and then got to appreciate later and I feel my life is richer for it.
Playing the guitar became a favourite hobby.
Being named Australia's Local Hero was completely surreal. Even though I was born in Australia, and have lived here ever since, it took me a long time to call myself Australian. I would say I was Asian and had Australian friends. So, to realise I am as Australian as the next person and have something important and valuable to give to Australian society (was a big deal). I didn't even think I had a shot at winning at state level, so to be there sitting at Parliament House and to hear my name read out (by then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull) really felt like a dream.
Dream maker: the award for Australia's Local Hero.


Tomorrow Apple is holding its big media event to debut the new iPhone, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. Unfortunately, the details of these products were leaked. According to John Gruber, a disgruntled Apple employee obtained the URLs to the device "golden master" firmware and sent the URL list to 9to5Mac and MacRumors. This leak isn't going to hurt Apple's bottom line. It's stock price was up 1.81% today. However, the leak knocks the anticipation and surprise out of the presentation. These events have long been an important part of Apple's marketing strategy.
So what went wrong? Quite simply, Apple relied on security through obscurity to protect this firmware. In short, someone at Apple thought that a very long, unguessable URL would prevent the software from leaking. As any information security practitioner knows, security through obscurity doesn't provide any security at all. It's the equivalent of saving your financial documents in a cookie recipe folder, hoping that no one will find them. Or putting your house key in a potted plant next to the front door. Hiding something doesn't make it secure. I doubt that Apple's security engineers had anything to do with this mishap. Apple has world-class security talent. I'm guessing that a step in the software release process was bypassed or perhaps the process didn't receive the scrutiny that it should have.
This error will never happen again at Apple. The lesson has been learned. For most companies, top-secret intellectual property is never going to be placed on an internet-facing server. It's going to be put in a protected network segment (or even air-gapped), leveraging strong access control, audit logs, data loss protection, and encryption.
Here's hoping for an entertaining show tomorrow, despite the leaks!

First Home Fund extension 'will boost confidence'

Home builders have expressed relief at today's Scottish Government announcement that its highly successful First Home Fund is to be extended for a further year.
The scheme was introduced as a pilot to help buyers purchase their first home from either the new or secondhand market, providing up to £25,000 as an equity loan.
Buyers must contribute a minimum deposit of 5 per cent of the purchase price and take out a minimum 25 per cent mortgage on the purchase price.
It had been due to end in March 2021 but has proved incredibly popular, particularly following the reopening of the housing market on 29 June and the pent-up demand that had arisen. The scheme also helps to mitigate the impact created by reduced availability of higher loan to value mortgages at present.
With the scheme for the present financial year already almost fully subscribed, the move echoes a call from trade body Homes for Scotland (HFS) which had highlighted the impact of the lockdown and new social distancing measures on developments, slowing down the rate of new home completions.
In some instances, this has meant builders have been unable to commit to delivering homes within the scheme's original timeframes, resulting in some customers being unable to make use of the fund.
HFS chief executive Nicola Barclay said: "This has been a crucial decision on the part of the Scottish Government in the context of the present pandemic, and one that is warmly welcomed by the industry.
The has been pent-up demand for new homes
"As well as recognising the continuing demand from Scots to own their own home, extending the First Home Fund will provide more confidence for consumers and more investment certainty for businesses, the benefits of which will ripple through the wider housing sector and economy.
Ms Barclay noted the First Minister's recent clear message that Scotland's response to the Covid-19 emergency should accelerate the achievement of the Scottish Government's ambitions, rather than put on the brake.
Drawing comparisons with the separate Scottish Government consultation on changes to the planning system, which HFS is responding to today, she added: "If purchasers are to benefit from financial stimulus measures such as the First Home Fund, then we must ensure that all areas of government policy are aligned and pulling in the same direction to facilitate the delivery of more homes.
"That can-do attitude is equally important in the planning system. So it is very frustrating that, on the same day we have such a positive announcement on the First Home Fund, we are also having to respond to a Scottish Government planning consultation that directly threatens the home building industry's ability to resolve the shortfall in housing supply that has arisen during lockdown.
"The proposals in the "Scottish Planning Policy and Housing" consultation – which include deleting the presumption in favour of sustainable development – give Scotland's planning authorities the wrong message when they should instead be encouraged to work with home builders to facilitate an increase in the supply of much-needed homes across all tenures."
