When you are a webmaster or small business owner going at it alone, it's scary to think of seeing all your work wiped out by a wicked hacker.
People work hard on their websites so remember to take the time and protect it.
You can use simple basic hacking tools by implementing these into your website.
Keep platforms up to date and make sure websites or scripts you have installed are up to date.
Many of these tools are created as open source software programs and the codes are easily available.
These codes are also easily available to malicious hackers as well.
Hackers can study the codes and look for security loopholes.
These loopholes let the hacker take control of your website.
The hackers exploit known platform and script weaknesses.
Check out security plugins that prevent against hacking attempts.
If you use WordPress they offer free plugins like "Wordfence" that takes care of it all for free.
These products help address weaknesses that are present in each platform, and foil hacking attempts that could threaten your website.
Take a look at Site Lock which closes security loopholes by providing daily monitoring from malware detection to active virus scanning and more.
If you have a business that relies on your website, then Site-Lock is a good choice for you.
Sit Lock is definitely worth the investment.
Lock down your directory and file permissions because all websites boil down to a series of files and folders.
These are stored on your web hosting account.
Each of these files and folders is assigned a set of permissions that control who reads them, writes and executes these files and folders.
This can be a bit technical because, on the LINUX operating system, permission is viewable as a 3 digit code where each code is a number between 0 and 7.
The first digit means permission for the owner of the file.
The second digit gives permission for anyone else that is designated to the group that owns the file and the 3rd digit gives permission for all others.
Here is an example, take the permission code 459.
In this case, the "4" is in the first position to give the file owner the ability to read and write the file.
The "5" in the second position means that the group users can read the file.
The "9" in the third position means the internet users at large can read the file only and protects the file from unexpected manipulations.
These are just tips for website owners to use to prevent hackers from wiping out their pages or stealing important user information.
In addition, this is very important to many who use their website as a business or for promotional purposes.
Hackers are on the rise and cyber surveillance is also in place better than it was in the past.
More hackers are expected to be able to get into emails, find databases with credit card numbers and more.
If you think turning off the location helps, you're wrong. Big Brother is watching you.


Canon EOS 7D Mark II Review - We could not imagine 7D could be better!
The 7D was one of the most successful DSLRs ever. So how Canon could improve the 7D? By improving the Canon EOS 7D Mark II Review! So by improving Canon EOS 7D Mark II Price, Canon EOS 7D Mark II Specs and Canon EOS 7D Mark II Lenses!
The Mark II waits 5 years after the 7D and it appears with the same look. The appearance is still the same fiercely rugged mass of metal wrap or rubber and synthetic.
With 7D we could see that some things are difficult to improve because they are already the maximum cameras can provide. Nonetheless, Mark II came with many improved features like 1DX sealing.
The Mark II has 2 more megapixels so it goes from 18MP to 20MP. The Burst rate increases from 8 fps to 10 fps. You also have a new SD card slot and 1 million dots on LCD Screen. The VF Info Display is now Customisable.
The frames per second might be only 2 more but you really feel the difference! The Mark II works quickly and precisely. You can only compare its the Canon EOS 7D Mark II quickness to the best cameras on the market.
The burst and buffer are astounding and the autofocus is one of the best you can obtain. Nonetheless, it seems that the 7D is already enough for 7D owners. Also, the Canon EOS 7D Mark II Price is higher.
Canon EOS 7D Mark II is one of the most famous DSLR cameras all over this world. This fact is due to its affordable price and high tech features which come with a lot of original manual settings.
On the first place, the 20.2 megapixels and CMOS sensor make sure that your images will be high in precision and quality.
Furthermore, Dual DIGIC processor assures that your captured images will be stored immediately in your flash memory. Canon EOS 7D Mark II has special 6D sensor cleaning kit for your convenience.
In video mode, there are several improvements. First, the autofocusing which seems to be quite good. There is a lot to cherish about the autofocusing system. The autofocusing has 65 all cross-type points so it works pretty well. Shooting a lot of frames gets most images in good quality. However, some can lose focus.
Second, you can shoot the 60 frames per second in Full HD.
two megapixels optical sensor resolution.
1080p full HD video recording.
Both manual and autofocus mode.
65 own autofocusing cross-type points.

Q: Problem with Error:(6, 60) cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element 'schronisko' I have searched the depths of the Internet and nothing seems to work...
In XML schema I have to include some structures, but I don't know if anything I included is the source of error or not.
I tried getting rid of namespace but it didn't help, sometimes I also get:
xsi:schemaLocation' is not allowed to appear in element 'schronisko'.
I have compared my work with the ones I found or got from other people, but didn't manage to get rid of the error.

«Це ми, Господи!..» () — український радянський драматичний воєнний фільм Олександра Ітигілова на основі повісті Костянтина Воробйова «Убиті під Москвою».

Сюжет фільму
Події у фільми розгортаються взимку 1941 року, коли німці впритул підійшли до Москви. На деяких ділянках фронт був прорваний німецькими військами, а закривати прогалини кинули ополченцями та кремлівськими курсантами. Хлопці молоді і не ще не «нюхали пороху». Командування ротою призначили капітану Рюміну, а одному із чотирьох взводів — лейтенанту Ястребову. Спочатку бійці відсиджувались в окопах з наказом не відступати. Після артилерійського обстрілу з боку німців та активного наступу, курсанти опинились в оточенні. Було вирішено виходити через сусідній присілок, де базувались німці. Знищивши ворогів, молоді бійці сховались у лісі, який пізніше обстріляли з літаків. Живими вибрались лише 5 осіб, але чи лишаться і вони жити?

Well, how was your Thanksgiving? I came down with blisters in my throat on Wednesday evening, and I couldn't cancel Thanksgiving, so I powered through the day with the help of my mom, Miss 17 year old and my Swedish daughter. Afterward, I collapsed into a long nap. When I woke up I could barely stand the pain in my throat. Right now, I am taking Advil to deal, but I think I am going to need to go to the Dr. Yay for me! But enough about me let's talk about recipes!
Today, I am sharing a post that I shared at the beginning of November over on JOYful Home and Life. It is the recipe binder I recently made. I love it so much and have been getting so much use of it, that I wanted to formally share it with you as well.
For most of my adult life, I have been collecting recipes. Some of them I have written down on recipe index cards and placed in a little index recipe card binder that I received as a wedding gift back in 1992. Most of those are recipes from family members. Some of them I have clipped from magazines. If I saw something that looked good, I just ripped it out. Some of them I have printed out from different websites.
All of these recipes have been sitting in a pile, haphazardly clipped together with a binder clipped for years. When I wanted to used one of the recipes, I would go on the search. It would take several minutes to look through my pile until I found what I needed. And most of these recipes are for things that I cook often. So I had found myself avoiding making these dishes because I didn't feel like going on the search for it.
Well no more, because I finally made a binder for all of my recipes! This is something that has been on my to-do list for at least a year. I even bought the binder! I do not know why I did not do this sooner, because it feels so good to have all of my recipes organized neatly into one place, all labeled nice and neat. Now, when I need a recipe, all I have to do is open my binder, flip to the section I need, and easily find what I am looking for.
And you can do it too, in less than an hours time! Would you like to see what I did? It really was simple, and I know I am not the first person to make a recipe binder, but I thought maybe you, like me, could use some inspiration to take those recipes that are scattered about and get them organized!
These are the supplies I used for my binder.
I started out by organizing my recipes into categories. I removed all of my recipe cards from the small binder they were in. I divided everything up into these 7 categories, and I made a Table of Contents Page using clip art. I decided to have a separate section for Thanksgiving, because I host Thanksgiving dinner at my house, and I have been using the same recipes for several years. This way when it is time to start preparing for Thanksgiving dinner, everything is all in the same section and can be easily accessed.
The next thing I did was to place my recipe cards in the plastic sleeves in the categories they belonged in.
After that was finished, it was pretty much just labeling each divider, punching holes in all of the papers, and placing things in the binder category by category.
I only had 5 paper dividers, but I also had 5 top sheet protectors that I also used as dividers. These still had the little tabs on the sides, but they also had large pockets that you could slide an 8 x 10 piece of paper into. It was fine with me that everything wasn't perfectly matching. I even had room for some empty recipe cards!
On the bottom of my computer desk, in my dining room, is a shelf where I keep all of my cookbooks. And this binder has been sitting in this spot waiting to contain all of my recipes for several months now. I am so happy that I finally completed this task!
When I made the binder, I purposefully created a tab for Thanksgiving, because I make basically the same thing each year. It came in so handy this week when I hosted 10 people for dinner! I can't tell you how much I have used this binder since I made it! Searching for a recipe is no longer a dreaded chore. It is a joy to pull out my handy binder and find it is less than 10 seconds! How do you organize all of your recipes? If your way is as haphazard as mine used to be, I hope that I inspired you to make a recipe binder of your own. I will be adding to this binder for years to come. And one day, I will pass these recipes on to my own daughter.

Film Review: 'The Railway Man'
Sep Gohardani
– January 21, 2014Posted in: Film, Reviews
The true story of Eric Lomax is both a harrowing and a touching one, and seems a perfect fit to bring to the big screen as both an intense and heartwarming story. Director Jonathan Teplitzky decided to take the job on and having recruited the likes of Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman it definitely seemed promising from the start.
What the film manages to do well is contrast Lomax's older self and his younger self, ably portrayed by the reliable Jeremy Irvine, and this jarring shift between casual chat about trains and the horrible conditions that Lomax had to face as a prisoner of war of the Japanese in the Pacific is something that truly hits home the effect something like that can have on someone, ruining their lives even after all the terrible events occur. Firth's portrayal of this is in his typical style. Withdrawn, guarded, quivering and almost neurotically sheltered, it definitely fits in with his past work and is where he has found most of his success, particularly with the exemplary performance in 'The King's Speech'. While it's nothing new here, it definitely has the desired effect. His performance is complimented nicely by the aforementioned Irvine, who masters all of Firth's twitches and general mannerisms to feel like a true younger version of Firth's portrayal of the character. While Firth never interacts with Irvine, it feels like he does throughout the movie in the flashbacks, which can often be prone to disconnect since older and younger versions generally don't match up.
Kidman's performance is in the same vein as Firth's, predictable but solidly done, and she serves as a fairly engaging foil to events as Lomax's bewildered wife, determined to understand the horrors of his past. This is another aspect of the film that is well handled, since Lomax's struggles are embodied in his changing personality and actions regarding his wife, from the romanticism of how they met to the cold, irrational man spurred on by horrible memories to make snap decisions and switch off from the real world.
'The Railway Man' does many things well, and its tale is told in such a way as to make it as emotionally affecting and captivating as possible, but there's still a gimmicky feeling about aspects of it. Sam Reid and Stellan Skarsgard suffer from a massive disconnect which makes it hard to associate them as the same person through the flashback scenes and as a result some of the impact of the story is diminished, but strong performances to help to overcome this well enough. While the tone may be vastly different in different sections of the film, it only feels forced a limited number of times and generally works to enhance the horrific nature of the state of events in the second world war. It's not quite the magnum opus it maybe could have been, but 'The Railway Man' is definitely affecting, emotional and well acted, and anyone looking for a strong telling of Lomax's fascinating story should look no further than here.

Global Read Aloud is an initiative brought together by a growing number of educators to allow students around the world to connect over the same issues. The vehicle to do this is the novel 'Refugee' by Alan Gratz. The book will be read in class, together, as a shared read aloud. We will reflect upon the book and connect with others via postcards, digital communication and interactive projects. (Oct 1 - Nov 1, 2018).
Over the next month we are going to work on expanding our written work through the use of figures of speech. To start we will look at some popular songs to see how artists use figures of speech to help get a strong message across. Students will complete several activities to analyze songs, have a chance to analyze one of their favourites and then apply this to their writing on a daily basis.
Due to copyright issues I can not post the video to the general public, however, a search of YouTube for figures of speech in pop songs (or any genre) will display a list of similar collections of music.
1. Diagnostic assessment: done to help determine what level students are at so that instruction can be planned based on the current level of achievement. This can be done in Language through specific programs, like PM Benchmarks, BAS and DRA. These are purchased programs that are standardized to allow us to get a snapshot of reading comprehension. We may also ask for samples of work before any instruction has happened in order to see what skills are needed. These samples are used to target instruction to specific areas of need. Students do not receive a grade for this work.
2. Formative assessment: done during a project/assignment to help check where students are at and refine instruction or intervention. It also helps students, teachers and guardians know how progress is happening during an activity. These are the experiences where students can practice and refine their skills before final grading. Students will receive feedback on documents as they work (e.g., notes, comments, suggested edits) and they will also conference with peers and the teacher throughout the process.
3. Summative assessment: done at the conclusion of a project/assignment to assess how well they have learned the target skills. This assessment also includes suggestions for success in future activities. Students receive a final grade for their work based on provided co-created rubrics (e.g., created with students) and also Ministry of Eduction rubrics seen below.

Who is Rick Gates, the man indicted with Paul Manafort?

Rick Gates is referred to as the "right-hand man" of Paul Manafort in an indictment released Monday charging both with funneling tens of millions of dollars through foreign firms and accounts while working for pro-Russian factions in Ukraine.
Gates, 45, and Manafort, 68, are accused of conspiracy, money laundering, failing to register as foreign agents and making false statements to investigators — even while they worked for Trump's presidential campaign. Both pleaded not guilty Monday.
Gates, of Richmond, Va., met Manafort more than two decades ago while interning at Manafort's lobbying firm Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly, Business Insider reports. Manafort left shortly after Gates signed on, but the duo reunited in 2006 at Manafort's then-new firm, Davis Manafort.
In 2011, the indictment says Manafort created another firm, DMP International, and Gates became a key player in both companies.
The New York Times reports that Gates took over Eastern European deals, traveling the world to meet with potential business partners, developing deals and negotiating contracts.

More: Paul Manafort has deep ties with Russia. A timeline of who, what, when
Those trips, the Times reports, included visits to Moscow for meetings with Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, who has close ties to the Kremlin and has been linked to organized crime.
Deripaska sued Manafort and Gates in the Cayman Islands for mishandling his money. Deripaska, a Russian citizen, has offered to cooperate with Capitol Hill investigations in exchange for immunity, CNN reported.
Manafort joined the Trump campaign in March 2016 and worked with Gates in wrangling delegates ahead of the Republican National Convention. When Manafort took over management of the campaign in June of that year, Gates signed on as his deputy.
Gates drew some infamy at the GOP convention when he reportedly reviewed and approved a speech delivered by Melania Trump that drew accusations of plagiarism. Parts of the speech mirrored a speech delivered by Michelle Obama eight years earlier.
Gates survived, and when Manafort was forced off the campaign in August 2016, Gates remained. He later became a top official in organizing Trump's inauguration.
The indictment says Manafort used "hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle" without paying taxes on the income. It adds that Gates aided Manafort in obtaining the money, and that Gates used money from the accounts to pay for his mortgage, his children's tuition and interior decorating of his Virginia residence.
Gates issued a statement through his spokesman, Glenn Selig, saying he "welcomes the opportunity to confront these charges in court."

My 2 children (ages 5 and 8) thoroughly enjoyed this program about chemistry. The text book was informative and easy to understand--unlike standard school text books. The pictures were engaging drawings, that directly correlated to what was discussed about atoms, molecules or reactions.
The teachers manual helped me prepare the experiments and informed me as to what was happening along with potential answers the children may have when answering questions.
The workbooks, I got one for each child, really helped my children understand the process of science: how to make an educated guess, then write what happened and why they think it happened.
The experiments really worked and were easy to do with objects that I had around the house. Only a few extra items from the store were needed. My children loved this program and both were able to follow along. It is a 10 week program but we did it twice a week. So, we were done in about 6 weeks.
Personally, I was thrilled to learn why soap actually works! I am not going to tell you how though.
Dr. Keller, has really made sure to produce a quality product that makes sense for even the youngest child. For example, in the discussion of atoms, she explains that atoms follow rules. There is a picture of an oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. Dr. Keller has drawn the oxygen with 2 arms and each hydrogen with only 1 arm. Then, they all link arms. Oxygen can attach to 2 other atoms but hydrogen can not and that is clearly depicted in the drawing and discussed in the text. This takes, what is to many people, a difficult topic and made it easy to understand, and explain!
I am looking forward to the biology program this year.
I would have liked a reference to some books about molecules and atoms that I could read at the age level I was teaching. I doubt many of these exist, which is what makes this program so unique. These additional books are not necessary, my family just enjoys reading stories about what we are learning on all topics. The KOGS program involves the literature piece of the curriculum which we did not use, since it was not released at this level at the time I purchased this program.

Lost and found: when Shatila welcomed Nahr al-Bared
by Sabah Haider, 3 June 2010

Hundreds of Palestinian refugees were killed when Lebanon's Internal Security Forces (ISF) laid siege to the Nahr al-Bared camp in Tripoli, north Lebanon, for over 15 weeks in summer 2007. The operation was called a quest to root out militants from an organisation deemed "terrorist", Fatah al-Islam.
Nahr al-Bared was created in 1949 to accommodate thousands of refugees displaced with the creation of Israel. Nearly sixty years later, during the 2007 killings, the camp was flattened. Thousands of homes were destroyed and gutted, leaving up to 31,000 Palestinians displaced for the second time in their lives.
Some 15,000 residents of Nahr al-Bared quickly fled the camp southwards, many seeking shelter and food in the camps in Beirut. Only the ones that could find their ID cards were able to leave: those who had lost them in the rubble were caught in the crossfire. Around 700 families in all arrived in the Shatila refugee camp during the siege, and after. Shatila's residents — families already living in far too cramped conditions — opened their doors to the Nahr al-Bared refugees.
These photos were taken in Shatila in summer 2008 by young people from both Shatila and Nahr al-Bared. Visiting volunteers, "Anna" and "Samer", gave cameras to a group of 11- to 15-year-olds and encouraged them to document their relationships with each other.
Nisrine, 15, is one of the group who became photographers that summer as part of the project. Asked what she saw when she looked at these photos, she paused to reflect, and replied: "I see a life for Palestinian people. I see poor families. And I see people's sadness."
The photos were nearly lost to history: they were recently discovered gathering dust in a box at the Children's and Youth Centre in Shatila. Many of the photographers of that summer have since returned to Nahr al-Bared or migrated to other camps, and are now more than likely untraceable.
Manuel Timane, a volunteer from Sweden who mentored children at the camp, and Sabah Haider, a Canadian journalist and filmmaker who teaches filmmaking to Shatila's children, have digitised these rescued images. They hope to encourage other young Palestinian photographers, both under occupation and in the refugee diaspora, to chronicle their lives and experiences. And they want to bring these photos, so nearly lost, to a wide public through this LMD archive.

This is Hassan. In this photo he was 7. He was one of the hardest workers in the Nahr-el-Bared relief campaign we held in Shatila. He came one day and said "I want to volunteer and help." We welcomed him and gave him some duties. From morning until night he worked hard, delivering food and goods to refugees from Nahr al-Bared.

The, singular, purpose of man's life is to go to heaven when he dies.
Posted on September 22, 2015 by John Daniel Begg under Thirstingly.
Man's life on this earth is not intended to be fulgent, fulfilling or fun.
Man's life on this earth is intended to be punishment for the disobedience of his progenitors.
It is, solely, through blood, sweat, toil and tears on this earth that man has even, a China man's chance, at regaining his lost home in the Garden after mortal death.


Isn't this hand towel cute?
...so I added the green trim. How? By using my new Sharp Crochet Hook, of course!
If you're like me, you've sometimes looked at adorable blankets, towels, or gloves, and thought, "These are cute already, but I'd love to crochet a nice edging around it." Okay, maybe that's just me, but the truth is, I've definitely thought that before. Special though it may be.
Crocheting a trim on fabric isn't something that couldn't be done in the past, and you've probably already seen it on cute towel toppers or baby blankets. It's as "simple" as sewing a blanket stitch around your fabric's edges and crocheting into those stitches. Tedious, sure, but doable.
But wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to sew around your fabric first?
I don't know about you, but I stink at sewing. I have a machine that's still boxed up and my embroidery is fist-shakeable. And when it's time to sit down and crochet something, that's all I want to do: crochet. None of this "prepping" junk.
That's why I was so happy when Jessica reached out to me and asked me to try the Sharp Crochet Hook. I had seen it in passing, but hadn't been able to fully look into it.
What is this crochet hook you speak of?
Basically, it's a crochet hook that has a slightly sharper tip (not one that will stab you - no worries!) so that it can easily puncture most fabrics. So now you can by-pass the whole blanket stitch thing and dive right into crocheting. I bet you never thought it could be so EZPZ.
Overall, I had a great time working with the hook and was surprised at how quickly I finished my small project (even though I had chosen the most intricate pattern). It was so easy to just start working into the towel and adding the trim. These towels would make great gifts for the fact they're small, quick, and practical alone. Pick up some snowman or Christmas towels, white thread, and call it a handmade holiday.
Perhaps my only complaint is that it's difficult for me to crochet with thread in general, so I kept splitting it. Those of you who regularly work with thread won't have much trouble - if any at all. I'm sure that the more I use it, the better I'll become.
now's your chance to try it out for yourself!
Simply leave a comment below telling me what you'll make with the Sharp Crochet Hook if you win.
Have any of you tried the Sharp Crochet Hook before? What did you think of it? What did you make? Would you use it again?


While Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution grants only Congress the right to declare war, the United States has won and lost (or fought to a draw if it makes you feel better) many wars since Congress last declared war on Dec. 8, 1941. The Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Iraq War, the war in Afghanistan, Libya, and now Syrian attacks have all taken place without Congress declaring war.
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was a response to Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon's advancement of the Vietnam War and was supposed to reinforce Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution over Article II, Section 2, which makes the president commander-in-chief of the armed forces. It clearly hasn't, as President Donald Trump proved the night of April 6 when he launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles on a Syrian air base after it was determined the Syrian government attacked a rebel ammunition cache holding chemical weapons that killed over 100 people -- none of which were American civilians or soldiers.
When Pearl Harbor was bombed on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, war was declared by Congress the very next day. When the Twin Towers came down on 9/11, the war effectively began the very next day, but without a declaration of war from Congress. Those were attacks on US soil, though. This, however, was not in response to an attack on America, which has members of both major political parties throwing a fit, which is uncharacteristic. Most often the party not inhabiting the White House makes a fuss about the president's overreach. Both Elizabeth Warren and Rand Paul think Trump's military action in Syria violates the Constitution.
The War Powers Resolution only requires the commander-in-chief to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing a military attack, and Trump did indeed notify more than two dozen members of Congress of his plan to attack Syria the night of April 6. He did not seek their authorization to do so because it wasn't required of him thanks to the leeway offered by previous presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, all of whom launched attacks without Congress. Hell, George Bush, Sr. won the Gulf War in less than 100 hours. How can Congress expect to take back its Constitutional right to declare war if they allow presidents to bomb for 90 days when it took less than five days to win a war in 1991?
The most interesting thing about the War Powers Resolution is that it's likely unconstitutional, which would make it pretty difficult to replace it. John McCain and Tim Kaine attempted to do so in 2014. They proposed the president should consult Congress before launching a military operation that is expected to last more than a week. It never happened, and it wouldn't have any teeth today anyways. Bush, Bush, Jr. and Obama have knocked them all out. Drones helped a bit, too.
The War Powers Resolution is useless when one person can blow up the entire world in a matter of minutes without deploying a single soldier. War has become a lot like a catch in the NFL. We don't really know how to define it, but we know it when we see it. And Americans have gotten used to waging war without declaring war. The United States is in a perpetual war against terrorism, and Americans keep waking up everyday, going to work and mostly ignoring what's happening on the other side of the world. It's no different than if war isn't being waged. Americans everyday can safely assume their country is bombing somebody, and ignorantly assume those people had it coming.
I'm a big believer in the order of things. That is, the order in which information is presented matters, and that's how I perceive the US Constitution. Article I holds more weight than Article II, and Amendment I of the Bill of Rights is listed before the Second Amendment for a reason. I mean, the whole reason white folks even stumbled upon this country was in search of religious freedom. And I'm not even religious, but I value the right to a free press and free speech over the right to own a gun. In this case, I think Congress's right to declare war holds more weight than a president's right to command the armed forces, and I think the Constitution was written in that order for that reason. While a president can't declare war, he can control military operations once war is declared. I'm sure the drafters of the Constitution didn't think war would be waged prior to a declaration of war, or that bombs would be built that can blow up countries.
I also understand the importance of the president being able to command the armed forces in order to avoid an attack on Americans, and in a nuclear age when one bomb can wipe out an entire country, stopping those attacks is more important than retaliating. That is not the case here. Bush, Jr. didn't have a very good reason to bomb Iraq, but he really didn't need one. Neither does Trump with regard to Syria. Allowing Congress to decide whether to declare war might have saved the United States from entering either conflict.
I like the idea of checks and balances, but what Congress really wants is to reign in the powers of the president they've already given away. And if Congress really wanted that, they should have passed unconstitutional legislation that had some teeth the first time around, because it won't happen again. That's why I think the War Powers Resolution should be repealed and Constitutional order given precedence.

August 7 primary: live results for Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, and Washington
There's a key special election in Ohio and other races that are central to Democrats' efforts to spur a "blue wave."
By Li Zhou, Ella Nilsen, Dylan Scott, and Tara Golshan Updated Aug 8, 2018, 3:24pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: August 7 primary: live results for Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, and Washington
Zac Freeland/Vox
All eyes are on a critical special election in Ohio's 12th District as voters in five states head to the polls on Tuesday.
The Ohio race is the last planned special election ahead of the midterms this fall, and it's widely considered a key bellwether for Democratic efforts to spur a possible "blue wave." Republicans are keen to avoid a repeat of the Pennsylvania 18th special election earlier this year, when Democrat Conor Lamb pulled off a narrow upset in a district that Trump won by 20 percentage points in 2016.
Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are among the Republican leaders who have waded into the race to ensure that the GOP candidate — state Sen. Troy Balderson — and the broader party, walks away with a win on Tuesday.
Polls suggest however, that Democratic candidate Danny O'Connor has a real shot of flipping the district — which Cook Political Report considers less conservative than Pennsylvania's 18th in several ways. If Democrats win here, it's likely that energy will only further buoy their efforts to retake the House in the coming months — an outcome Republicans are eager to prevent.
Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, and Washington are holding primary races as well. Live results, powered by Decision Desk, are below.
Ohio 12th Congressional District, special election: Democrats try to break a 30-year losing streak
A Democrat has a good shot at winning in a special election Tuesday in an Ohio congressional district surrounding Columbus that hasn't elected a Democrat since the 1980s.
Danny O'Connor is running against Republican Troy Balderson to replace retiring Rep. Patrick Tiberi in Ohio's wealthiest congressional district. So far, polling has the race in a dead heat, and Trump campaigned for Balderson in the days before the special election, a sign of GOP concerns about the race.
The 12th, covering parts of suburban Columbus as well as Appalachian areas, always sends a Republican to Congress. Trump won the 12th by 9 points in 2016. Cook ranks it as R+7.
But this district is a little better educated than Ohio as a whole, which might favor Democrats, and O'Connor has positioned himself to have a fighting chance. Recent polls have found him trailing by just a point or two, and the Democratic campaign feels good about the early voting numbers they've seen.
Given the overall environment, and Democratic performances in prior special elections, election forecasters like Cook have rated the 12th special election as a toss-up.
Michigan governor primary elections: a tight race on both sides for an open governor's seat
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder is retiring with dismal approval ratings during the Flint water crisis. In a recent NBC/Marist survey of the GOP primary, Attorney General Bill Schuette (36 percent) had built a decent lead over Lt. Gov. Brian Calley (26 percent), with lots of voters undecided.
On the Democratic side, former state Senate Democratic leader Gretchen Whitmer has narrowly led in the polling. She looks like the slight favorite, while prominent progressives like Alexandria Oscaio-Cortez are trying push Abdul El-Sayed to an upset victory.
Both parties still need to get through their August primaries, but NBC/Marist polled a hypothetical general election matchup with the leading candidates and found Whitmer leading Schuette 47 percent to 38 percent. Cook Political Report thinks the governor's race is a toss-up.
Michigan Senate primary elections: Stabenow is expected to sail through
Executive and veteran John James and Sandy Pensler, an executive and Yale economics lecturer, are considered the Republican frontrunners. Polls have shown James, one of the few black Republicans in big races this year, with a slight but persistent lead.
Stabenow should be fine; polls put her up by a lot over her potential challengers. Cook puts this in the Likely Democratic camp.
Michigan Sixth Congressional District: a packed field angles to take on Rep. Fred Upton
Four Democrats are on the ballot. Matt Longjohn, a former YMCA and public health official, has raised a lot of money and might have the most compelling story, having jumped into the race after Rep. Fred Upton's vote for Obamacare repeal legislation. David Benac is a Western Michigan history professor trying to run as a grassroots candidate. Rich Eichholz is a scientist arguing for evidence-based policy. George Franklin, a former Kellogg lobbyist also raising a lot of money, rounds out the field.
The Sixth, like the First, is more of a long shot for Democrats. Cook has it as Likely Republican and rates the district as R+4. Upton is an entrenched incumbent.
But Trump's margin of victory was narrower here — 8 points — and the district has elected the more moderate Upton for decades. It seems at least conceivable that an anti-Trump wave could sweep him out of office, if Democrats successfully tie him to the president. But the wave would probably need to be significant.
Michigan Seventh Congressional District: a seasoned Democrat and a "Berniecrat" seek to topple a Republican incumbent
Gretchen Driskell was put on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Red to Blue list, meaning Washington Democrats like what they've seen from her campaign. She comes from a Navy family and has served as a mayor and now in the state legislature. She has run here before, having lost to Rep. Tim Walberg in 2016 by 15 points.
Her only competition on the ballot is Steven Friday, running as a self-identified "Berniecrat."
This is another Likely Republican district; according to Cook, it's R+7. Trump won by 17 points, and the district is very white and not particularly well educated.
But the Seventh District has swung in prior wave elections (see 2008 and 2010), and Driskell profiles as the kind of candidate Democrats think can compete in areas like the Seventh. Her 2016 loss to Walberg was actually a little narrower than Clinton's, too, if you're looking for a reason to be optimistic about her chances.
Michigan Eighth Congressional District: a former CIA officer strives to flip this toss-up district to blue
Elissa Slotkin is another name on the DCCC's Red to Blue list. She is a former CIA officer who worked on the White House National Security Council under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. She definitely has the look that Democrats like for these swing districts: a history of military and public service. Women are also cleaning up in Democratic primaries, as Vox has documented.
Her only competition is Chris Smith, a Michigan State University public policy professor running on good government and Medicare-for-all.
The Eighth is a toss-up, according to Cook, and the district is just R+4. Clinton lost to Trump by less than 7 points here in 2016. The district covers an area near Lansing, the state capital, and its constituents are a little better educated — all ingredients that could give Democrats an edge.
Michigan 11th Congressional District: a competitive primary for both sides of the aisle
Rep. David Trott is retiring, so it's an open seat. The GOP primary is very competitive, with a lot of credible candidates. Among them are former US Rep. Kerry Bentivolio and several state lawmakers: Sen. Mike Kowall, Rep. Klint Kesto, and former Rep. Rocky Raczkowski. Self-funding business executive Lena Epstein rounds out the field for Republicans.
It's also a wide-open field for the Democrats. Suneel Gupta, brother of doctor and CNN personality Sanjay Gupta, has the most money. Former Obama auto rescue official Haley Stevens has some union support and Hillary Clinton's endorsement. Fayrouz Saad is angling to be the first Muslim woman elected to Congress, and she received the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsement. Current Michigan Rep. Tim Greimel is also on the ballot.
The 11th looks like a toss-up. Trump beat Clinton by just 4 points here, and the district profiles as R+4. It's pretty diverse and very well educated.
Having no incumbent could be an advantage for Democrats, but it's hard to know exactly how the race will look until we see who wins the primaries on Tuesday. But the 11th should be a focus for both parties in the battle for the House.
Michigan 13th Congressional District, special election: Conyers's great-nephew is among those vying for his old seat
Rep. John Conyers retired after sexual harassment allegations. His successor will be picked in this Democratic primary, barring something unforeseen.
His great-nephew, state Sen. Ian Conyers, is running. So is Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. She is the subject of a strong campaign to elect an African-American woman for this city district.
Westland Mayor Bill Wild and left-wing former state Rep. Rashida Tlaib make up the rest of the field, with Talib raising a lot of money and both running progressive platforms. Because of a Michigan election law quirk, there will be in November both a special election to fill the last few months of Conyers's term, then a regular election for the term starting in 2019.
Whoever wins the primary will be the next representative for this 57 percent black district.
Missouri Senate: Sen. Claire McCaskill goes up against Republican upstart Josh Hawley
Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley is the favorite in a massive field of 11 Republican primary candidates. The state's Republican Party effectively granted Hawley the nomination when it gave the Republican National Committee the go-ahead to spend money backing Hawley's campaign before he had even won the primary.
If Hawley prevails, he will likely face two-term Sen. Claire McCaskill, one of the Senate's most vulnerable Democrats but with an independent streak. McCaskill has some competition in the Democratic primary, but her real focus is on Hawley. You can read more in Vox's explainer.
McCaskill has faced Republican challenges in 2006 and 2012 — and prevailed each time. But 2018 is expected to be close in the general election, with polls vacillating between the two candidates.
Missouri's Second Congressional District: Rep. Ann Wagner could face a serious Democratic challenger
Five Democrats are competing on Tuesday to see who will challenge Republican Rep. Ann Wagner, in office since 2013. Wagner also has a primary challenge from a relatively unknown candidate named Noga Sachs, but in all likelihood, Wagner will win.
Out of the crowded field of Democrats, the frontrunners appear to be attorney Cort VanOstran and Army veteran Mark Osmack. VanOstran has the most campaign cash, but Osmack is also fundraising and has endorsements from VoteVets and politicians including Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (both veterans). Osmack is positioning himself as the progressive choice, running on a platform that includes Medicare-for-all, while VanOstran supports shoring up the Affordable Care Act.
Cook rates the district R+8, but if Democrats can field the right candidate and the blue wave ends up materializing, this conservative Missouri district has a chance of becoming blue.
Missouri ballot question on union dues and right-to-work law
In addition to key races, Missouri voters across the state will vote on Proposition A, a ballot question that will decide whether to keep or scrap the state's current right-to-work law.
Right-to-work laws allow workers to be in a bargaining unit without having to pay dues to the union; it's a conservative initiative that many GOP-controlled state legislatures have passed in recent years. Organized labor groups say the laws are tantamount to union-busting and are just another way to weaken unions.
The Missouri legislature passed a right-to-work bill last year, and it was signed into law by former Gov. Eric Greitens, but labor groups stopped it from going into effect with a petition to put the measure on the ballot and let the voters decide.
Voting in favor of Proposition A would keep right-to-work in the state; voting against it would repeal the measure. If voters reject the measure, it would be a major victory for unions.
Kansas governor: one of Trump's biggest allies hopes to walk away with a win
Current Gov. Jeff Colyer and Secretary of State Kris Kobach are leading the pack of Republicans for governor. Jim Barnett and Ken Selzer are also part of a larger group that will be on the ballot.
Colyer — who took over the governor's position after Sam Brownback became ambassador at large for international religious freedom earlier this year — has painted himself as the more low-key alternative to Kobach, whose close ties to Trump and broader controversy precede him. Kobach has long been known for touting hardline anti-illegal immigration policies and is among those most associated with the president's theories on voter fraud, having led Trump's election commission.
Several Democrats are competing for their party's nomination. Former Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer, state Sen. Laura Kelly, and former state Secretary of Agriculture Josh Svaty are among the contenders.
Kelly is seen as the leading candidate given her strong fundraising numbers, though she's recently been snared in a controversy over a vote supporting voter ID laws. Kelly was recruited to the race by former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
Cook Political Report rates the race as Likely Republican.
Kansas's Second Congressional District: a rare open seat that Democrats are hoping to flip
There are a lot of Republicans competing in this district, including state Sens. Steve Fitzgerald, Dennis Pyle, and Caryn Tyson, state Rep. Kevin Jones, and former state Rep. Doug Mays. Rounding out the list are Basehor City Council member Vernon Fields and Army vet Steve Watkins. Throughout the primary election, there's been no clear frontrunner in the bunch.
Whoever wins will face off against former state Rep. Paul Davis, who unsuccessfully ran for governor against former Republican Gov. Sam Brownback in 2014.
Cook Political Report rates this district R+10, but if Democrats are hoping to flip a House seat in conservative Kansas, this may be their best shot. Davis has already far outraised all of the Republican candidates, has the backing of the DCCC, and is saving all of his money for his general election competitor.
Kansas's Third Congressional District: can a Bernie-style progressive win in the conservative Plains?
There are seven Democrats running in this primary, but four names stand out: mixed martial arts fighter Sharice Davids, former Bernie Sanders staffer Brent Welder, teacher Tom Niermann, and business leader Sylvia Williams.
The winner will compete against incumbent Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder, in office since 2011 (Yoder isn't facing a primary challenger).
Welder, in particular, is looking to test the theory of whether a Sanders-style progressive can win a primary in a conservative state. Cook rates the district R+4, and it also went for Clinton in 2016, so there's a definite chance it could flip this year.
Washington's Third Congressional District: could this heavily Republican district swing left?
Washington state has a top-two primary system, which means Democratic and Republican candidates are on the primary ballot together. The top two vote-getters will face off in the November general election.
This historically conservative district is among those that Democrats are trying to flip this cycle, although incumbent Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler has swept her reelection races by double digits in the past. Washington State University professor Carolyn Long has garnered the backing of national groups like Emily's List and is seen as the Democratic frontrunner.
While the district went for Trump by 8 points, Cook Political Report downgraded the district from Solid Republican to Likely Republican this past spring, suggesting that Democrats might have more of a fighting chance. Earlier this year, Long released an internal poll that indicated she is within 5 percentage points of Beutler.
Washington's Fifth Congressional District: a Republican giant faces down the rumbling of a blue wave
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a Republican leader in the House, is facing one of the toughest reelection fights of her career.
While it's uncommon for Republican leaders like McMorris Rodgers to lose their bids for reelection, it's not without precedent. Democrats think momentum could be on their side: Trump captured a little more than 52 percent of the vote in the district in 2016, and constituents have hammered McMorris Rodgers for hewing too close to the president.
The Cook Political Report has shifted its rating on the eastern Washington district from Likely Republican to Lean Republican, though polls suggest that McMorris Rodgers maintains a slim lead over challenger Lisa Brown, a former state Senate majority leader.
Washington's Eighth Congressional District: a slew of Democrats attempt to retake the district
Democrats see incumbent Rep. Dave Reichert's retirement as a potential opportunity to capture the district, which Cook rates as a toss-up.
The district is also one of more than 20 held by Republicans that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. Interestingly, it's backed Democratic presidential candidates for numerous races in the past, while favoring Republicans for the House seat.
An expansive field of candidates including pediatrician Kim Schrier, former prosecutor Jason Rittereiser, and doctor Shannon Hader has emerged, each lining up for the chance to turn the district blue. The Republican frontrunner is former state Sen. Dino Rossi, who's previously mounted failed bids for a Senate seat and the governorship.

Nando's to trial feeding chickens algae and insects in eco push
July 26, 2020 Gary Scott	0 Comments finance, financial, latest finance, news
Nando's, the UK-based restaurant chain, plans to trial feeding chickens algae and insects as part of efforts to sharply reduce its carbon emissions over the next decade.
The casual dining brand, which operates 930 outlets worldwide, will look at alternative sources of chicken feed to reduce its reliance on soy, which is the second biggest contributor to global deforestation after the beef industry.
The plan is part of a range of measures Nando's will announce on Monday to cut direct carbon emissions from the business to zero and halve the carbon footprint of the average meal in its restaurants by 2030.
"We are launching ambitious new commitments which will set a strong example for what our industry can do to make a genuine difference," said Colin Hill, chief executive of Nando's UK and Ireland.
He added that Nando's would be the first in the restaurant sector to combine improvements in environmental sustainability with animal welfare — something which is typically difficult to achieve as higher welfare animals live longer and therefore consume more feed, increasing their overall carbon footprint.
The push comes as companies and investors increasingly focus efforts and funding on more sustainable practices, despite the economic fallout from the pandemic. The chicken industry has been a particular focus from environmental campaigners because of the intensive nature of its farming practices.
"It's a highly concentrated, highly industrialised industry. I wouldn't say it's the central focus of the market but we are progressively seeing a greater market involvement in the sustainability agenda," said Clive Black, an analyst at Shore Capital.
Greenpeace, which last year released a report titled "Winging It: How the UK's chicken habit is fuelling the climate and nature emergency", is calling for businesses to halve the amount of meat they sell by 2025.
About 78m chickens were slaughtered last month in the UK, according to government statistics, a decline of 2.1 per cent on the same period last year as increasing numbers of consumers turn to meat alternatives.
Last week, the fast-food chain KFC announced it was working in collaboration with a Russian laboratory on the first 3D printed chicken nugget.
Other ways Nando's is looking at reducing the carbon impact of chicken feed include changing to a more sustainable method of wheat production, known as agro-ecological growing, and sourcing more sustainable soy.
It is also planning to increase its range of vegan options, use slower growing — and therefore healthier — chickens and source all of its gas from renewable sources by 2022.
Nando's said that menu prices would not increase as a result of the changes, nor would it switch any of its suppliers. According to its most recent set of accounts, the company made £42m operating profit on sales of £1bn in the year to the end of February 2019.
Mr Black said that Nando's commitments were laudable but risky: "Sustainability means less intensity and that tends to mean a higher cost base in a very competitive food and beverage industry, particularly one that has had its legs taken away by coronavirus."
