Das Beste: Brunel is a very good university I think its just underrated.
Das Beste: It's the best university you can attend for it has a great campus, community, teaching style and much more.
Das Beste: I chose to study at Skoltech because it allowed me to receive a world-class education, while also experiencing life in a foreign country. As a foreigner, Skoltech offered me this unique opportunity. Nowhere else could I live out my dream of living abroad in a cosmopolitan city like Moscow while studying at a top university. I enjoyed Skoltech because of the opportunities to work closely with my peers. Skoltech encourages collaboration and team projects, and as a student, you will often be working with students with different scientific interests than you. I know that exposure to their ideas left me not only a specialist in my particular field of study upon graduation, but also well-versed in the important issues in science today. I also enjoyed working on real-world problems. Skoltech teaches its students to make an impact, and this means that you learn how to create something that people can use. Although problem sets are a part of the curriculum, you will more often than not find yourself developing a physical prototype or coding an app.

The Canadian Vaping Association will challenge any vape regulation that prevents access to harm reduction
Beamsville, ON, Jan. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The past year has been challenging for the vape industry, with the federal government and many provincial governments creating additional policy to regulate the industry. The Canadian Vaping Association (CVA) has been a consistent advocate for strong youth protection measures that balance youth prevention with adult access to harm reduction products. Provinces such as Ontario and British Columbia have taken adult harm reduction into consideration and implemented equitable policy. Yet, provinces such as Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have failed to follow the science and instead have jeopardized the health of thousands of smokers. The Canadian Constitution Foundation found that banning flavoured vape products or restricting nicotine content "may violate s. 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which safeguards the right to life, liberty and the security of the person, because the nicotine ceiling and flavour restriction may potentially make vaping products a less attractive or effective quit-aid for smokers." "While the CVA has a history of advocating for reasonable measures to protect youth, policy that violates the right to integrity and personal security as well as freedom of expression will be challenged through the proper legal channels. Science supports vaping as harm reduction and draconian measures have previously been found to be unconstitutional by the Superior Court, which heard the industry's arguments against Bill 44. Our preference will always be to work with regulators to implement effective policy, however where regulators choose to ignore the data, the industry will challenge policy that is detrimental to public health," said Darryl Tempest, Executive Director of the CVA. The CVA will continue to provide regulators with the science, which is clear, flavours are the driver for adoption and the key to cessation success. Canadian's have a constitutional right to access harm reduction products and reduce the health risks presented by traditional tobacco. Judge Dumais who heard the industry's case against Bill 44 wrote that while the provisions take into account the well being of non-smokers, it seemed to forget the rest of the population, including smokers trying to quit. Despite, the Canadian Constitution Foundation cautioning governments that action such as flavour bans may violate the rights of Canadians, Nova Scotia proceeded to implement both excessive taxation and a full ban on flavours. As a result, vape shop owner Bill McEachern has launched a constitutional challenge, that will be heard on January 25th. The CVA has given McEachern our full support and will continue to support all challenges to harmful legislation. As a society, we often wrongfully look at addiction as the result of one's own actions. By viewing nicotine addiction as a choice, smokers are dehumanized and left behind by poor policy. Governments must acknowledge that in Canada all citizens are equal under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Vaping policy must respect the rights of all citizens as the lives of adult smokers quite literally depend on it.

If you have one of my original DIY microgreens seed tin sets, you can refill your reusable seed tins using these seed packets! Those lightproof, airtight tins from your original kit are ideal for seed storage.
Or, if you happen to prefer "just the seeds" with less packaging and postage - this organic seed set is a great way to jump-start a whole garden of microgreens, indoors year-round, or outdoors in the summertime.
Home-grown microgreens are a healthy gourmet treat for beginning or experienced gardeners, or a fun DIY project set for kids.
This set contains 6 different varieties of certified organic microgreens seeds, packaged in simple, earth-friendly glassine packets, along with super-easy, detailed growing instructions.
I use the same brown kraft paper labels to seal these packets as those on the tins in my original kit. So, if you change out seed varieties, you can peel 'n replace your original tin labels!
You'll receive the same half-ounce / 8mL of seeds in each packet as in my Garden in a Box tin set: enough to successfully raise 2 to 3 generous crops of each type in a teacup or pocket garden, or to seed a more widely-spaced outdoor area, approximately 4 feet x 4 feet for each seed.
These are USDA-certified organic seeds produced specifically for microgreen growing - meaning, they are not treated with fungicides or fertilizers as conventional garden seeds often are.
Just choose "Custom Assortment" from the pull-down list above, then let me know which 6 seed types you'd like in Notes to Seller, and I'll be happy to customize your kit.
Amazing seller! The seeds arrived in cute packages with thorough directions. They were a gift for a work secret Santa and I was worried they wouldn't arrive on time -- Maggie shipped them promptly and they came in 3 days!
Shipped and arrived quickly! Exactly what I was looking for and the packaging was simple and economical while still being cute. I plan to purchase from this shop again!

140th Battle of the Blues – Batting Records
During its proud 140 years, the Royal-Thomian encounter has witnessed great batsmen who charmed the spectators, setting various records with their willows. So far, 56 centuries have been recorded in the history of the encounter with 29 coming from the Thomian camp while 27 have come from Royal.
The first century in the series came in the 38th encounter in 1917, when Thomian batsman B.T. Janz scored 103 runs. Eight years later, the Royalists achieved their first, when Neil Joseph scored 113 runs in 1925. It was regarded as the fastest century back then, since it came in just 60 minutes of play. In the following year, he scored his second century, becoming the first player to score consecutive centuries at the Royal-Thomian.
In 1930, D.B. Gunasekara made 148 for Royal and F.C. de Saram scored 140 in the following year. The year 1931 also saw Thomian, N.A. de S. Wijesekera scoring 105. It was the first century from the Thomian camp since B.T. Janz in 1917.
In 1936, Thomian Norman Siebel's unbeaten 151 was the first to break the 150-run barrier, a record which stood for 20 years, before R.J. Reid made an unbeaten 158 for S. Thomas' in 1956. Royalist, Jagath Fernando's mauling 160 in 1971 was soon to be broken in the following year by Thomian skipper Duleep Mendis who steamrolled the opposition with 184 runs in 1972, a score which still remains as the series record for a two day encounter. Mendis also scored a century in 1971. Sumithra Warnakulasuriya's marathon 197, in 1980, on debut remains as the highest individual score, unbroken for the past 38 years.
The year 1983 saw an unbeaten 145 by Rochana Jayawardene which eventually led to a well-deserved Royal victory. It also marked the end of a series of stalemates since 1969. He also dominated the 104th Royal-Thomian by securing a match bag of 9 wickets for 73, producing arguably, the best all-round performance at a Royal-Thomian encounter. In 1987, Anura Bulankulame scored a scintillating century by attacking from the first ball he faced. In the following year he led the Thomian team to victory after 24 years. His brother Dhammika Bulankulame also scored a ton in 1984.
In 1989, at the age of 16 years, Nigel Fernando became the youngest to captain Royal College. Later in 1991, as a fifth year coloursman, he scored an elegant 128 runs which eventually led to a victory under the captaincy of Rohan Iriyagolle. In the same year, Nigel Fernando led the Sri Lanka U 19 side.
The encounter in the year 1992 will be remembered for the valiant match saving innings of 144 by Gamini Perera, which prevented a definite Thomian victory. Duleep Mendis's nephew Manoj Mendis scored consecutive centuries in 1992 and 1993 while Anushka Polonowita (165) and Yasas Dharmaratne (124) set up two centuries in 1996, the only instance of both captain and deputy scoring centuries. The year 1997 too witnessed 2 centuries in the same encounter when Thomians Bhathiya Karunaratne (116) and skipper Nilanka Peiris (108) scored tons which eventually led them to victory. In the following year (1998), Nilanka Peiris was agonizingly dismissed for 99, for what would've been consecutive centuries at the big match. He was also the first ever batsman to depart at 99. The 20th century saw its last century scored by Thomian Meshad Peiris (103) in 1999 while Dhanushka Perera (116), the Royal opener set up the first ton in the new millennium.
Hardly anyone can forget Royal skipper Ganganath Ratnayake's unbeaten 111 in 2003 and Dhanushka Edussuriya's valiant 136 in the 125th encounter. The thriller in 2006 saw both openers Malinga Maligaspe (140) and Sukitha Senaratne (104) scoring centuries for Royal, the only instance in the series.
A win for S. Thomas' in 2005 came with Ashan Peiris's majestic 125. He repeated the same feat in 2007 when he, along with Nizam Mazahir pummeled the Royal bowlers. Peiris slammed 161 while Mazahir's destruction resulted in 162 runs. Both centuries by Peiris in 2005 and 2007 resulted in Thomian victories, inflicting innings defeats to the Royalists.
Following the 2007 win, Ashan Peiris set a few unique records in Royal-Thomian history. He remains one of the rare cricketers to experience a win (2005, 2007), a loss (2006) and a draw (2004) during his career, to appear in a landmark encounter (125th in 2004), captain his side (2007), score a century both as a player (2005) and a captain (2007) and become a big match winning captain (2007).
In 2008, during the first innings, when Royal were reeling at 67 for 5, Charith Fernando scored a brilliant 137 to take Royal over the 300-run mark. Kusal Perera's classy innings of 142 in 2009 was eclipsed by F. Saleem's 165 which saved the Thomians from a definite loss. Saleem's innings took a gruelling 9 hours, the longest innings by a schoolboy cricketer.
The crowd present in 2010 witnessed Ramith Rambukwella ramming the Thomians with a colossal 165 off just 148 balls. His innings included 21 fours and 5 gigantic sixes. He, along with Bhanuka Rajapaksa scored 22 runs off Lalindra Peiris's over, the most runs in an over by Royalists in the series.
Heshan Kumarasiri's composed 127 in 2012 was a treat to watch in a highly intense encounter. During the course, the bloke also reached 1000 runs for the season. In the same year, Thomian all-rounder Chamodh Pathirana missed out on a well-deserved century when he was dismissed for 99. It was a heart-warming moment when a packed crowd at SSC witnessed the Royal wicketkeeper Milan Abeysekera consoling Pathirana just after his dismissal, revealing the comradeship of the two prestigious institutions. Wicketkeeper, Sanesh De Mel's unbeaten 110 in 2014 was the first from the Thomian camp since 2009.
The riveting encounter in 2016 saw a dauntless ton by Thomian opener Rashmika Opatha which came in a mere session on Day 1. He became the first batsman after Jagath Fernando to score a century before lunch. His 124-run knock came in 131 balls with 16 fours and 4 maximums. The stirring finale later saw 16-year old debutant Pasindu Sooriyabandara scoring a remarkable ton under pressure, not only to save the Royalists, but to lay a foundation for a stunning turnaround in the end. His 123 off 309 deliveries broke the record for the youngest centurion at a Royal-Thomian.
Jagath Pattiarachchi (100* in 1974), Sumithra Warnakulasuriya (197 in 1980) and Pasindu Sooriyabandara (123 in 2016) remain the only Royalists to score centuries on debut while D. Ponniah (100* in 1967) and Manoj Mendis (124 in 1992) achieved the feat in Thomian colours.
The distinction for the highest opening partnership goes to Sukitha Senaratne and Malinga Maligaspe who added 218 runs to the Royal first innings score in 2006. The highest partnership for any wicket goes to Anushka Polonowita and Yasas Dharmaratne, the pair which went on to add 254 runs for the 3rd wicket in 1996.
The rare occasion of scoring more than one century during their Royal-Thomian careers is shared by Royalist Neil Joseph (1925 & 1926) and Thomians Duleep Mendis (1971 & 1972), Manoj Mendis (1992 & 1993) and Ashan Pieris (2005 & 2007).
Only 3 Thomians and 2 Royalists have achieved a rare batting double (a century and a fifty) in the same game. Willie Jayetileke (62 & 110*) in 1937, Dhammika Bulankulame (108 & 72) in 1984 and Jeewan Mendis (111 & 54) in 2001 have done it for the Thomians while Malinda Thotuwilage (95 & 108) and Ganganath Ratnayake (75 & 111*) achieved the same feat for the Royalists in 2001 and 2003 respectively.
The 2006 encounter resulted in the highest match aggregate where a mammoth total of 1149 runs were scored by both sides. S. Thomas' two innings comprised of 278/8 dec & 295 while Royal made the highest team total in the series 432/7 which was followed by a dramatic run chase of 144/3.
If someone wonders as to who has the highest individual aggregate at the Royal-Thomian, that title goes to the 1998 Thomian skipper Upeka Fernando, who made 394 runs during his career span from 1995 to 1998. For Royal, it has been two batsmen, Sumithra Warnakulasuriya (1980-82) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa (2007-11). Both have scored 386 runs in their careers. Contrary to Warnakulasuriya, Bhanuka Rajapaksa has also taken 14 wickets for 306 runs, establishing himself as one of the most successful players at the Royal-Thomian.
Propelling a willow at a Royal-Thomian is by no means easy. It is a laborious endeavor, requiring temperament, firepower and character until you reach the eventual milestone during three taxing days of play. These batsmen, along with many others have decorated the Royal-Thomian encounter with the willow in their hand, sealing unforgettable memories in the minds of Royalists and Thomians, both young and old.

Love letters by Airside
(Image credit: Malika Favre)
By Rosa Bertoli
When Wallpaper* embarked on July's Sex issue they knew things might get graphic, so it made sense to have a word with some of London's finest designers in that field. Airside (opens in new tab) was the first point of call. The creative studio, with a client list running from Apple to Orange, via Vitsoe and Virgin, is celebrating its tenth anniversary.
See some of Airside's sketches while making the font, as well as some previous work (opens in new tab)
Designer and illustrator Malika Favre, who had already been perfecting her own 'Alphabunnies' font (shown in the gallery above) for Airside made of cavorting buny girls, agreed to sort the magazine out with their own pin-ups. The full font of uniformly leggy ladies contorting themselves into alphabetic shapes can be seen in the magazine, while to see the ladies actually move into their positions of each letter from the Wallpaper* logo, only to slink off again, check out wallpaper.com 's home page.
Favre, creator of the bunny girl font and all round fan of the female form, speaks to us about where she found inspiration for the font and how, since she was a girl, she's had bunnies on her mind.
How long have you been working with Airside?
I joined Airside two years ago I was the only girl designer in the middle of a lovely big boy's designer club!
How did you come up with the idea for the Alphabunnies?
As I grew up I kept on drawing sexy sassy girls, but by the time I went to art school in Paris this part of my work came to a halt, as it didn't seem noble enough. By the time I came to work for Airside I had fallen back into my old habit of drawing sexy girls. I first came up with a pair of cat-lady lesbians influenced by Egyptian mythology, but then I was drawing some bunny-ladies when Guy (Airside's Interaction Designer) noticed that some of them really looked like letters. So I started working them into letter-shaped sexual positions and a couple of weeks later the Alphabunny alphabet was complete.
What is your favourite letter of the font?
My favorite letter from the Alphabunnies is definitely the G – that was the point from which I explored other ways to design the rest of the letters.
Did you have bunny girl aspirations during your formative years?
Not so much bunny girl aspiritations, but it did all start when I was a kid. Everyday I would draw princesses and pretty girls. There were no boys in my sketchbooks: hips and curves were much more dramatic and fun.
Are there any plans for a more masculine font? Perhaps some bunny boys?
I still haven't gotten around to drawing men yet, but who knows what's up next...

Therapy Team
Dr Ruth Glynne-Owen, EdD
Founder & Volunteer Chief Executive
EdD; MA Autism and Education; PGCE Primary (Early Years); Dip Montessori; BA (hons)
Ruth is a qualified primary teacher (early years) and Montessori Teacher with an MA in Autism and a Doctorate in Education. She is currently one of the leading experts in autism and early intervention approaches in UK. She works as both a consultant and adviser to a number of families, nurseries and schools across the UK and Europe and has over 20 years teaching experience in mainstream and specialist provisions.
After graduating from Stirling University, Ruth undertook a Diploma in Montessori teaching in Dublin, Ireland where she worked with children aged between 9 months and 3 years. She then moved into classroom teaching as a temporary teacher in both city centre and rural schools across Dublin and Kildare, moving back to the UK where she completed a PGCE in Primary Teaching (Early Years) at UNN. After some time working in a wonderful mainstream primary school in London, Ruth returned to the North East where she taught in an Autism specific provision as class teacher and music and drama specialist. In 2006 she completed her MA in Autism and Education under the guidance of Dr. Lynne Moxon, and in 2007 started her own Autism consultancy service working with families and children across the UK and Europe.
This independent service focuses on providing individualised, early educational intervention programmes for children aged 6 months to 5 years and training to parents, professionals and local authorities. To our knowledge, Ruth is at present the only UK based practitioner who is both working toward Level 5 certification in PRT and who has undertaken advanced training in the newly researched Early Start Denver Model and , under the direction of Dr. Sally Rogers. Ruth also has experience and training in the DIR/ Floortime approach, working closely with several DIR colleagues in Boston, MA.
She completed her Doctorate in Education at Edinburgh University and wrote her thesis on the differences in parental experiences of early intervention between Massachusetts and Central Scotland.
Having observed the struggles of countless families attempt to access quality, intensive and evidence based early intervention services for their pre school child, Ruth set up Blue Sky Autism Project (formerly Speur Ghlan) in 2010 as a volunteer CEO, and hopes that the service will meet the needs of a wide range of families, alongside raising UK wide awareness of the importance of early identification and the true value of early intervention for both the child and the family.

World's Only Full-Scale Oil Spill Test Tank Springs a Leak
Christopher Berkey/zumapress.com
There's just one facility in the world where scientists and emergency responders can run full-scale oil spill response tests and research. It's housed at US Naval Weapons Station Earle in Leonardo, New Jersey. But when Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) tried to arrange a visit to the facility earlier this week, he learned that the facility is presently inoperable. Why? The tank researchers use to simulate spills has sprung a leak.
The Oil and Hazardous Materials Simulated Environmental Test Tank (OHMSETT) is owned by the Minerals Management Service (recently renamed the "Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement"). The wave pool there, which is used to test oil spill response technologies and techniques, was closed last month "because of multiple leaks" and is expected to remain out of commission until sometime in July.
Menendez, a major opponent of offshore drilling, says the situation demonstrates just how unprepared the federal government is to handle an oil disaster like the one in the Gulf. "I believe that the fact that this facility is inoperable during the nation's largest oil spill is indicative of a complacency and lack of investment in oil spill response technologies," he wrote in a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Monday. "The industry and even the government has substantially invested in new technologies to drill in deeper water and deeper into the Earth, but little has been invested in safety or oil spill response and clean-up."
The Department of Interior issued this response today, arguing that maintenance on the tank was planned and that the Coast Guard doesn't need to use the facility right now because they are "too busy with the response" in the Gulf. Here's the full statement:
OHMSETT is currently closed to testing because of planned maintenance. Prior to the closure, BOE consulted with the USCG to see if they needed the tank after the Deepwater Horizon incident and they said that they were too busy with the response. No testing was delayed or postponed due to the planned closure. The tests normally conducted at the facility are scheduled months in advance and are more oriented to advancing research and development than to addressing current issues.
If the research is promising, it can and often is developed into procedures or equipment used to deal with real-world events. We also have the ability to bring the facility back on line in several days if the tank is needed for testing to help the spill response effort.
Even though it was inoperable at the time, Sharon Buffington, chief of the engineering and research branch of MMS, touted the tank as "a vital component" of MMS' oil spill research in testimony to a House panel on June 9. "It is the only facility in the world that allows for full-scale oil spill response testing, training, and research conducted with a variety of oils in a marine environment under controlled conditions," Buffington told a House panel. Now-dismissed MMS head Liz Birnbaum also talked up it at a hearing last month as integral to "ensure that the best and safest technologies are used in offshore oil and gas operations." Neither Birnbaum or Buffington mentioned that the facilty was offline.
Menendez, who is sponsoring an MMS reform bill in the Senate, says this is yet another example of why the divsion needs an overhaul.
"The need for the MMS reform could not be clearer when the agency charged with preventing Big Oil from spilling into our waters cannot keep water in its own testing tanks," Menendez tells Mother Jones.
Seems like the hole in the bottom of the Gulf isn't the only one we should be worrying about.

Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure that creates shapelier, larger breasts using silicone or saline implants, or a fat transfer.
Breast asymmetry correction is a cosmetic surgery that helps to even out the size differences of the breasts if one is larger than the other.
Breast augmentation with a lift corrects a sagging breast by tightening the skin and lifting the breast while using implants to add volume and size.
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is the tightening and lifting of a breast that is sagging due to age, pregnancy, gravity, or weight loss.
Breast reconstruction is performed after a breast removal (mastectomy) and aims to restore the shape of the breast to a normal appearance and size.
Breast reduction surgery is a procedure offered by Dr. Fernau that reshapes the breast to a smaller size and more proportionate shape.


"Top Cats" -- a team of apprentices from PA Consulting Group -- have won this year's Home Automation Challenge with their ingenious design for an "Automated Pet Station" which ensures pets have food and drink when their owners are away.
The "Haven" team from Aston Martin received the Judges' Highly Commended Award for their Smart parcel Delivery Box – "Never miss another delivery". The device provides secure access to couriers to leave a parcel via a safe delivery box.
The prototype products were judged at the finals held at the Manufacturing Technology Centre at Coventry. The event was attended by the Lord Mayor of Coventry John Blundell and his wife.
"The Home Automation Challenge presented us with an exceptional group of young engineers who designed innovative home technologies that combined digital and mechanical engineering skills. Our future engineers are an inspiration," said Dr Jenifer Baxter, a judge at the Challenge and the Head of Engineering at the Institution.
The aim of the Challenge is for apprentices to design and manufacture a product to automate a task in the home or garden. This year, the apprentices were also asked to submit a business case for the mass production and sale of their device.
"Taking part was a fantastic opportunity to show off the skills that we are developing as apprentices and then to be able to apply them to specific situations. To win was an enormous privilege, especially with the level of competition this year," said Callum Franks from the PA Consulting Group team.
"Top Cats" also received the Peer Review Award for their Automated Pet Station.

Silver Partner Status in Colorado's Environmental Leadership Program
LivWell Enlightened Health Achieves Silver Partner Status in Colorado's Environmental Leadership Program
The designation, awarded by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, signifies LivWell's commitment to environmental stewardship.
DENVER, COLORADO (October 7, 2020) — LivWell Enlightened Health, a multi-state cannabis cultivation and retail leader, recently became the first marijuana business to be named a Silver Partner in the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment's Environmental Leadership Program (ELP). The ELP requires its Colorado business members to implement ongoing sustainability practices and initiatives beyond governmental, statutory, or regulatory requirements.
A business must have a proven track record of adhering to environmental best practices to qualify for membership in the ELP in conjunction with a commitment to yearly reporting on sustainability efforts moving forward. In addition, a company that achieves admission into the program must show that it has not experienced any compliance or legal issues related to sustainability. (Click here for specific program details and benchmarks.)
"As an organization, LivWell has always been focused on sustainability and the impact we make on our environment," said John Lord, CEO at LivWell Enlightened Health. "This designation takes that commitment a step further. The ELP not only holds us accountable for making continuous strides in our sustainability efforts, but also enables us to connect with other businesses and state leaders who value sustainability the way that we do."
Among LivWell's successful sustainability efforts include saving 50,000-kilowatt hours of energy by retrofitting standard lighting with LED bulbs and improving cultivation practices to reduce pesticide use by over 99%.
LivWell will continue its commitment to sustainability, working toward achieving Gold Partner status. To meet the requirements of this status, a business must have implemented a fully-functional Environmental Management System (EMS), in which a business has a set procedure for adhering to environmental protocols. Silver Partners, like LivWell, must demonstrate a plan for implementation of an EMS by the end of year one, and they have up to three years to implement an EMS, at which point the business can apply to become a Gold Partner. LivWell expects to achieve Gold Partner status by the end of 2021.

Q: Cypress throwing SecurityError I am currently running with Chrome 74 and trying to use Cypress to test a style-guide in my app. When I load up Cypress it throws this error:

SecurityError: Blocked a frame with origin "http://localhost:3000"
from accessing a cross-origin frame.

Please let me know if there is a solution to this!
I had tried to follow along with this:
https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/1951
But nothing has changed/worked for me. :(
My code is shown below: cypress/plugins/index.js
module.exports = (on, config) => {
    on('before:browser:launch', (browser = {}, args) => {
        // browser will look something like this
        // {
        //   name: 'chrome',
        //   displayName: 'Chrome',
        //   version: '63.0.3239.108',
        //   path: '/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome',
        //   majorVersion: '63'
        // }

        if (browser.name === 'chrome') {
            args.push('--disable-site-isolation-trials');

            return args
        }

        if (browser.name === 'electron') {
            args['fullscreen'] = true

            // whatever you return here becomes the new args
            return args
        }
    })
}

in my cypress/support/index.js
This will load the site before every test I run to save myself from having to write cy.visit in every test.
beforeEach(() =>{
    cy.visit('http://localhost:3000/style-guide')
})

A: You can disable security to overcome this issue.

*

*Go to cypress.config.js file.

*Add this line: chromeWebSecurity: false and save. For example:

const { defineConfig } = require('cypress')

module.exports = defineConfig({
  ...,
  chromeWebSecurity: false // add this line
})

*Run the test again.

A: I had the very same issue yesterday and the answer from @jsjoeio in the cypress issue #1951 you've referenced in your question actually helped me.
So basically only thing I've done was to modify my cypress.json and add following value:
{
  "chromeWebSecurity": false
}

A: I had exactly the same problem, I advise you to do as DurkoMatko recommends. Documentation chromeWebSecurity
But I encountered another problem with a link pointing to localhost in an iframe.
If you want to use a link in an iframe I recommend this :

cy.get('iframe').then((iframe) => {
  const body = iframe.contents().find('body');
  cy.wrap(body).find('a').click();
});

A: I have also faced this issue. My application was using service workers. Disabling service workers while visiting a page solved the issue.
cy.visit('index.html', {
  onBeforeLoad (win) {
    delete win.navigator.__proto__.serviceWorker
  }
})

Ref: https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/cypress-tips-and-tricks/#disable-serviceworker

A: So, at least for me, my further problem was an internal one with tokens, logins, etc. BUT!
the code I posted for how the index in the plugin folder is correct to bypass the chrome issue. That is how you want to fix it!

A: *

*Goto your cypress.json file.

*Set chrome web security as false
{
    "chromeWebSecurity": false
}

A:
To get around these restrictions, Cypress implements some strategies involving JavaScript code, the browser's internal APIs, and network proxying to play by the rules of same-origin policy.

*

*Acess your project

*In file 'cypress.json' insert

{
  "chromeWebSecurity": false
}

Cecilia Alvarez (born April 15, 1950) is an American Chicana artist known for her oil paintings and murals depicting themes of feminism, poverty, and environmental degradation in the United States and Latin America. Alvarez's painting Las Cuatas Diego has been featured in books and exhibitions around the world. Alvarez has also illustrated the bilingual children's book Antonio's Card authored by Rigoberto González. Her work is collected by the Mexican Fine Arts Museum, the Seattle Art Museum and by the Kaiser Foundation.

Biography

Alvarez was born in National City, California, to a Cuban father and a Mexican mother. She was raised by both of her parents in San Diego, California and Tijuana, Mexico. Her art draws inspiration from her diverse upbringing within a variety of cultural and political settings.

Alvarez is a self-taught artist. Alvarez started studying at San Diego State University, however, she did not complete her education because she felt that it wasn't necessary. She had been told by faculty that because she was a Mexican-American woman, her work would never be considered "fine art." Alvarez began to help her family financially at the age of twenty-three, after leaving college.

In 1975 Alvarez moved to Washington state where she has created the majority of her artwork.

From 1978 to 1981, she attended Eastern Washington University.

She currently resides and works in Seattle, Washington with her husband and two children.

Art

Alvarez is primarily a painter, but she has worked on large public artwork and on helping youth to create murals to raise cultural awareness. Alvarez uses personal imagery in her art in order to critique issues that are politically and culturally important to her. She has stated that she hopes to "create discourse through her art, on issues of entitlement, poverty and who is expendable in our collective." Alvarez attempts to redefine the cultural values assigned to women and the concept of family using her art. Her duality as a woman and Chicana define her art as she states, "how we fit into the universe, telling jokes, music, laying tile, whatever it was that evolved that whole ability to think of our humanity." The recurring use of female images in her work relates to the artists close relationship wither her mother and her aunt, both of whom bestowed upon her the values of family and human connection.

Through her art, she hopes to spark dialogue on the societal importance placed on notions like beauty and power. In 1991, Alvarez gifted a color print of her painting "Las Cuatas Diego" to The Mexican Museum's permanent collection located in San Francisco.

In 1994, Alvarez was commissioned by the Washington State Arts Commission for a large public art project where she designed and created art and architectural elements in the Student Activities Center at Seattle Central College. She worked closely with the building's architects. These elements are etched windows, sandblasted concrete patterns, ceramic tiles, and exterior cladding. She noted, "The intent of these patterns was not only to pay homage to the cultures represented, but to attempt to infuse the structures and the site with a sense of belonging and intimacy."

She created the illustrations for the children's book Antonio's Card written by Rigoberto Gonzalez published in 2005.

 La Tierra Santa, 1983

Hands of Honour create employment for marginalized men who find themselves at soup kitchens in Cape Town.
We make furniture from unwanted goods, which we get from companies who donate their obsolete stock rather than send to landfill.
While longitudinal studies show that children who are exposed to early learning do well at school and later on in life, sadly in SA 60% of children under 4 are not exposed to any form early learning programs at all. Hands of Honour have collaborated with an early expert to create the Angel Classroom on Wheels.
There are eight activity boards affixed to the rear that support the main pillars of Early Learning. The unit easily manages to keep a whole classroom engrossed in an educational activity at any given time, see the concentration on the children's faces and as they play they learn a whole range of skills including FINE MOTOR SKILLS, literacy, numeracy, life skills, MOVEMENT and BALANCE, shapes, sorting and matching by colour and shades of colour, motor control and co-ordination through threading small pieces, SPATIAL and SEQUENTIAL skills, hand-eye co-ordination , concentration, thinking skills, perseverance and creativity.
So far, we have distributed 55 units to 66 desperately poor Edu -Cares and children's centres. We hope to reach 100 centres by the end of the year.


The Doberman Pinscher was originally developed around 1890 by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, a German tax collector who created elaborate crosses of different dogs. His intent was to develop a breed that would be aggressive enough to protect him as he made his rounds in dangerous neighborhoods and whose appearance alone would be intimidating.
Doberman Pinschers are part of American Kennel Club's Working Group. The AKC describes them as "elegant in appearance, of proud and alert carriage, reflecting great nobility and temperament." The Doberman is compactly built, muscular, powerful and square proportioned. Its coat is short, smooth and hard, showing off the exceptionally clean-cut lines of this athletic breed that comes in black and tan, blue and tan, or red and tan. Weight varies between male and female. Generally, they weigh around 60 to 75 pounds and stand 24 to 28 inches tall.
Doberman Pinschers are extremely intelligent and fast-learners, making them well-suited for police, military and guard work. They have been used for hunting and tracking criminals as well as search and rescue, therapy, and guide dogs for the blind.
They are steadfast and loyal companions, and true friends to the people they love. Dobermans are not attack dogs. Their method of protection is to keep intruders at bay, pinning them to a wall or corner until backup arrives. Despite their reputation for viciousness, most Pinschers are big softies at heart that love the companionship of people.
The Doberman should be trained with consistency and strong leadership in a firm, but gentle manner. They are extremely sensitive and will shut down if treated harshly. Once leadership is established, most Dobies take well to advanced dog training. Their desire to work alongside people, ability to take direction well and menacing figure make them excellent police dogs.


Cocoa flavor is a kind of brown flavor. Here brown flavour generally refers to essence with brown color. It contains coffee flavour, cocoa flavor, chocolate flavoring, vanilla flavour, etc.
Chocolate flavor is a kind of brown flavoring with brown color. Here brown flavoring mainly includes chocolate flavoring, coffee flavour, cocoa flavor, vanilla flavor, etc.
Coffee is a brewed beverage with a bitter taste.
Coffee possesses a strong and pleasant burnt bitter and sweet sour fragrance. The overall flavor of coffee comes from three parts: the characteristic aroma and the bitter taste generated from browning products during cacao bean baking, plus the proper sour flavor from organic acids. The cacao thus produced does not have much fragrance. The complicated characteristic aroma, which smells of cacao bean, baking, milk and a bit sourness, can only generates during baking after fermentation.
Chocolate is a kind of candy made of cacao butter extracted from cacao, milk, cream and sugar. Therefore, chocolate flavour is mainly featured by the cacao flavour and bitter taste, with the addition of milk flavour, baking flavour, vanilla and caramel flavour.
From this we can see that the fragrance of these types of substance is quite complicated, as a result, it is not easy to imitate the real fragrance of the natural products. Basing its products on natural extracts, Shihao Food Flavour Company takes into many kinds of flavorings to make coffee flavour (coffee essence), cocoa flavour (cocoa essence), and chocolate flavour (chocolate essence). They boast a real fragrance, and they are suitable for ice-cream, pastry, beverage, candies, adding an attractive fragrance to a variety of foods.
Shanghai Shihao Flavor & Fragrance Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer and supplier of brown flavours in China. We possess 15 years' experience of brown flavour production, selling, and service and 6 years' export experience. We produce coffee flavour (coffee essence), cocoa flavour (cocoa essence), chocolate flavour (chocolate essence), and vanilla bean (vanilla) flavour and so on. We can also research and develop new coffee flavour, cocoa flavour, chocolate flavour, and vanilla bean (vanilla) flavour according to the clients' specific requirements, copy samples and conduct tests of food flavour addition. We have already obtained SGS ISO9001 and ISO22000 certification, and also LPPOM-MUI Halal certification. Our flavours have already been exported to many Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Singapore, and so forth. Additionally, we are keeping close contact with customers in Argentina, Peru, Chili, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and many other countries. If you need other types of essence, you can check the necessary information on our website and inform us of your specific requirements.

Grow up, get a grip, or get out of the way! Part two
By Madeline Crabb
In just six weeks, America will officially have a new president – Donald J. Trump. It has now been over a month since the election, but the sore losers of the Lunatic Left are still trying to win the election. Newsflash: It is time to grow up, get a grip, or get out of the way!
In the past few weeks we have seen the failed Green Party presidential candidate, Jill Stein, file for recounts in three states of the fifty she didn't win. It's only logical to ask why she is allowed to contest the results in these or any state? In fact, in the three states for which she's "contesting" the results – Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania – she only won one percent of the votes.
It's also logical to wonder from where she's getting the donations to supposedly pay for the recount. Forbes.com reports the donations currently total $9.5 million. By all media accounts, she only raised about $3.5 million for her initial presidential campaign. It appears sore loser Jill has some serious donors giving her money, but is it for her, or the other loser, Hillary Rodham Clinton?
It has been reported that HRC had as much as $2 billion to spend on campaigning for president. Throwing a few million towards Stein's recount is a pittance. Yes, even while HRC gave a concession speech declaring Donald Trump was indeed the winner of the presidential race, most of the Democratic Party mouthpieces are saying that she actually won the election because of the popular vote. HRC could actually win the election with the three "contested" states. Obviously, this isn't going to happen. Reality check for any private citizens who donated to the Stein/Clinton recount (call it what it is): You've been duped. It's all a scam to raise some spending money. Stein's laughing all the way to the bank, unless the states demand reimbursement for all the work she created for them.
Could it be that Stein and Clinton are in collusion to throw America into a constitutional crisis? The Constitution requires that all states' votes be certified by December 13. (Six days before the meeting of Electors.)
Of course, there is also a fight to get the Electoral College to do a massive switch in electing HRC. There are individual electors who are "holier than thou" that have declared they cannot and will not vote for Donald Trump, even though he won their states. All states have their own guidelines for these electors, and it is somewhat worrisome that some states allow electors to vote for whomever they choose. But will it make a difference? If all else fails, the matter is decided in the House of Representatives. Aside from mass insanity overwhelming the House, Donald Trump would still be declared president. If our representatives decided otherwise, I truly believe there would be a second Civil War.
What is most troublesome about any Elector "revolt" is the lack of respect for the process, and the rebellion against the will of the people. Yes, HRC may have won the actual popular vote. So what?! We do not live in a pure democracy where the majority wins. Our Founding Fathers called such a system mob rule. In this election, Americans overwhelmingly rejected HRC and most of the Democratic Party's candidates. Big time!
The Associated Press reports that nationwide, Donald Trump won 2,626 counties compared to HRC's 487. The electoral map below further illustrates the victory:
(http://metrocosm.com)
To the individual electors, We the People ask you to honor our choice.
Sadly there is also backlash from the political Establishment, the career politicians who are apoplectic over the GOP mandate. Perhaps they should look at the map and recognize the enormity of that mandate. And yet, there are those who are hell-bent on disrupting and perhaps even stopping President-elect Trump's cabinet nominations. Fortunately, one major disruptor has retired – Harry Reid. (Good riddance.) But in his place we have yet another leftist fanatic who believes he can steamroll over everyone else – New York's Chuck Schumer. Seemingly he and the rest of the Democratic Party forget that elections indeed have consequences. And apparently they still don't understand how serious We the People are about taking back our government.
Trump is doing exactly what he told us he would do. Of course, this has many elitist liberals protesting. Establishment hubris is demonstrated by people like New York mayor, Bill de Blasio, and Chicago mayor, Rahm Emanuel, who actually dictate to DJT what and how things will be done in their kingdoms, despite our national laws. Let's see...mayor trumps president?! That's some organizational chart! Any guesses about who wins in the end?
Much of the political Establishment still holds out hope that everything will proceed as usual – where there is no difference between the parties, or where the Republicans simply bow to the will of the Democrats, even if the former has the majority. And in our major cities, Democrat mayors such as those just mentioned believe they are above the law.
Overall, most of our major cities are lost, and will probably never elect Republican leaders. But We the People are not afraid to replace our governors, or even our Republican congressmen and senators if they don't grow a collective spine and represent us.
We have lived eight years under so-called leadership of the most anti-American, anti-Christian president in our history. He has played a huge role in dividing America, and caused other immense damage our nation, much of which may be irreversible. He has pitted blacks against whites, rich against poor...He has demonized Christians and everything we believe in...He has put the needs of foreigners over the needs of American citizens...He has jeopardized our sovereignty by allowing an invasion via our southern border...He has endangered our safety by allowing the influx of non-assimilating, sharia-following Middle Eastern refugees. Our reputation worldwide is laughable.
Last month, We the People drew a line in the sand. Unlike Obama, we are serious about our line. This government is our government. We are forced to give far too much of our hard-earned money to a government that has done nothing but want money and power. We elect people to represent us who in turn use their power to buy votes from select constituencies to gain more money and power for themselves. Oh, and let's not forget that We the People also pay for the salaries, benefits, and retirement of all these people who take our money to give to others to stay in office. It's a never-ending cycle that has to end! We have had it!
Note to the Democratic Establishment: There's a new sheriff in town! The map shown above should illustrate how serious we are about our new leadership. Therefore, we ask that you realize you are no longer in control. We the People want sanity, reason, and constraint to once again prevail in our nation. Leftist lunatics may be able to destroy most of our major cities, but at least for the next four years, we will not allow it in our nation at large!
Nationally, the GOP controls the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Presidency. The election is over. The Electoral College meets in less than two weeks to certify the will of the people. Don't we all need to gather behind the new leadership and heal our nation? Don't we all want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem? So whine if you must, but it really is time to grow up, get a grip, or get out of the way! To anyone willing to hear....

Watch: Jacob Blake speaks out for first time since Kenosha shooting
In a video posted on Twitter by his family's lawyer Ben Crump, Mr Blake said from his hospital bed: "Twenty-four hours, every 24 hours it's pain, nothing but pain."
by Henry Goodwin
In this photo from Kenosha County Court video, Jacob Blake answers questions during a hearing Friday, Sept. 4. 2020 in Kenosha, Wis. Blake, who appeared remotely, waived his right to a preliminary hearing -- and then pleaded not guilty to three charges that were filed against him back in July. (Kenosha County Court via AP)
Jacob Blake has spoken publicly for the first time since a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, shot him seven times in the back. The 29-year-old said he is in constant pain from the shooting, which doctors fear will leave him paralysed from the waist down.
In a video posted on Twitter by his family's lawyer Ben Crump, Mr Blake said from his hospital bed: "Twenty-four hours, every 24 hours it's pain, nothing but pain.
"It hurts to breathe, it hurts to sleep, it hurts to move from side to side, it hurts to eat." Mr Blake, a father of six, also said he has staples in his back and stomach.
"Your life, and not only just your life, your legs, something you need to move around and forward in life, can be taken from you like this," Mr Blake said, snapping his fingers.
He added: "Stick together, make some money, make everything easier for our people out there, man, because there's so much time that's been wasted."
Mr Blake, who is black, was shot in the back by a white police officer on August 23 after walking away from the officer and two others who were trying to arrest him.
The officer, Rusten Sheskey, opened fire after Blake opened his own SUV's driver-side door and leaned into the vehicle.

The shooting was captured on video and posted online, sparking several nights of protests and unrest in Kenosha, a city of about 100,000 between Milwaukee and Chicago.
Mr Sheskey and the other officers who were at the scene were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
None of them have been charged.
#JacobBlake released this powerful video message from his hospital bed today, reminding everyone just how precious life is. #JusticeForJacobBlake pic.twitter.com/87CYlgPDBj
— Ben Crump (@AttorneyCrump) September 6, 2020
Mr Blake, who had an outstanding arrest warrant when he was shot, pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges accusing him of sexually assaulting a woman in May and waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
He appeared remotely via video conference from his Milwaukee hospital bed, wearing a shirt and tie. Mr Blake spoke only to respond to the judge's questions.
The state Justice Department has said a knife was recovered from Mr Blake's vehicle, but it has not said whether he was holding it when officers tried to arrest him.
The man who made the widely seen mobile phone video of the shooting, 22-year-old Raysean White, said he saw Mr Blake scuffling with three officers and heard them yell, "Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" before gunfire erupted.
He said he did not see a knife in Mr Blake's hands. The Kenosha police union said Mr Blake had the knife and refused orders to drop it.
Mr Blake fought with police, including putting one officer in a headlock, the union said. Police twice used a Taser, which did not stop Mr Blake.

I have previously set up a small forum for the sharing and discussion of skin-care knowledge. Initially, I choose the Deluxe plan of Godaddy. It is fine for the first 6 moths. However, as my forum continues grow with more visitors, it seems that the Deluxe is not enough. Now, I have around 50K threads and at least 800 daily visitors. So, my question is, should I upgrade my GoDaddy account or go for another hosting company? I have checked this forum and the hosting review site of https://linkedhosts.com/, and have found that BlueHost and InMotion are better? So, which one should I choose?
Personally I use Hawkhost, they have plans starting from only $3.95 a month, you get loads of space, access to C -Panel etc.
I've also found they respond very quickly if I have a problem or a question, I don't think you could do better.
