Zgodovina

Leta 1900 je v Ljubljani začela delovati Mestna posredovalnica za delo, kar predstavlja začetek javne službe za zaposlovanje na območju Slovenije. Skozi čas se je delovanje posredovalnice širilo – ustanovili so podružnice, spreminjalo se je ime in ustanove, pod katerimi se je razvijala dejavnost posredovanja zaposlitev.

Do večje spremembe je prišlo leta 1960, ko je nov zakon o zaposlovanju predal opravljanje te službe Zavodom za zaposlovanje delavcev, ki so bili ustanovljeni za eno ali več občin.
Leta 1990 je Ustavni zakon za izvedbo temeljne ustavne listine o samostojnosti in neodvisnosti Republike Slovenije bistveno spremenil organizacijo tega področja. Takrat je Republiški zavod za zaposlovanje postal organ v sestavi Republiškega komiteja za delo. Dve leti kasneje pa je Republiški zavod za zaposlovanje deloval kot organ v sestavi Ministrstva za delo, od maja 1992 naprej pa kot samostojni javni zavod s statusom pravne osebe.
Sprememba Zakona o zaposlovanju in zavarovanju za primer brezposelnosti leta 1998 je prinesla preimenovanje v Zavod Republike Slovenije za zaposlovanje, njegove Območne enote pa v Območne službe.

WiTopia PersonalVPN review
Paul Renner December 4, 2020
WiTopia PersonalVPN review: PersonalVPN is small; however, a capable VPN service of the American security company WiTopia. By signing up, you get access to a decade long network spread over 42 countries. As usual, most are in Europe and North America; however, PersonalVPN has other locations in Asia, Oceania, Israel, Brazil, Egypt, South Africa, and more (the full list can be found on the network page).
Elsewhere, a secure DNS service hides your Internet activities, stealthy routes can help you avoid VPN blocking, there is support for up to 8 simultaneous connections to the top plans, and live chat is available 24/7 if you get into trouble.
WiTopia PersonalVPN review: Privacy and logging
The PersonalVPN website does not have much to say about logging but still manages to cover the basics. In one or two sentences, a FAQ document explains that there is no logging of a user's Internet activities, browsing, content, websites, DNS, or metadata, and as a result, 'there are no logs that would allow a person or entity to match an IP address and a timestamp to a user of our VPN service.'
While this is clear and obvious, a potential customer cannot know whether PersonalVPN delivers on these no-logging promises. Competitors such as NordVPN, TunnelBear, and ExpressVPN have conducted public audits to verify their private information. While this is by no means essential, it does give users greater assurance that their data is being handled properly.
WiTopia has other privacy loops, including the encrypted DNS and stealth modes. Perhaps best of all, the ultra-configurable OpenVPN provides a 4096-bit certificate per user and allows experts to choose their favorite ports and numbers and choose to make UDP or TCP connections.
WiTopia PersonalVPN review: Performance
PersonalVPN doesn't make much noise about its unblocking ability, and our tests suggested why: it did give us access to US Netflix but had no luck with BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney+.
The news improved as we continued downloading speeds. In our tests, UK-UK connections averaged around 67-68Mbps on a 75Mbps fiber broadband line. There was little change in Europe, and even long-distance travel such as UK-Australia reached a creditable 12-25Mbps.
Our privacy checks also went well: the service gave us a new IP address each time at the promised location, and there were no DNS or WebRTC leaks. If you're not so lucky, you may be able to access PersonalVPN's 24/7 live chat support, so that's the last thing we tested.
The service started positive, with the chat system queuing our number 1 and a friendly agent responding within about a minute. We posted a problematic question about connection issues, but the agent handled it well, listened, understood what we were saying, asked sensible questions, and offered quality advice. If you're tired of talking to outsourced VPN support teams and you realize you know a lot more about the technology than they do, then PersonalVPN's professional agents should make a refreshing change.
WiTopia PersonalVPN review: Pricing and plans
PersonalVPN's Basic plan only gives you the core of VPN: access to all network locations, but only native protocols (IVEv2, L2TP/IPsec, PPTP), and no OpenVPN support. Nothing is surprising about it, but the price is equal to $5.99 billed per month, $4.17 on the annual plan, which drops to $3.06 over three years.
The Pro plan adds OpenVPN support, allowing you to use the service with more customers and devices, and throws in a sneaky mode. There is no monthly plan, but prices are still reasonable, ranging from $6.67 per month on the 6-month plan, $5.83 over one year, and $4.44 over three years.
Choosing the top-of-the-range Premier plan gives you support for up to 8 concurrent connections and adds additional VPN router setup tools. It looks expensive, though, at $10 a month on the six-month plan, $8.33 over a year, falling to $7.09 over two years, or $5.83 over three years.
Viewing the up-front payments helps to put this into perspective. PersonalVPN expects you to pay $99.99 for one year's service; Private Internet Access charges $39.95 for its annual plan; pay Surfshark $47.75, and you are covered for a full two years.
There is no free trial period and no refund available for the monthly plan. However, everything else includes an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee, giving you plenty of time to see how the service works for you.
Despite the improvements that have been made, WiTopia is still not feature-rich enough or fast enough for us to put it high on our list. Suppose it adds some extra bells and whistles like split tunneling and improves its speeds a little. In that case, we can easily see that WiTopia is becoming a real contender in the VPN market, but until then, it's doomed to become mediocre. That's it for our WiTopia PersonalVPN review.
PersonalVPN is not the cheapest VPN available, but we can see why - the company invests its money in fast networking and professional support. It also needs to improve its Windows client, but in general, if service quality is at the top of your priority list, PersonalVPN is worth a try.
Excellent speeds
Unblocks Netflix
Quality 24x7x365 live chat support
Good-looking and easy-to-use apps
Doesn't unblock iPlayer, Amazon, Disney+
Windows kill switch issues
No OpenVPN support on starter plans
Some plans look expensive
Expert Rating 7.5

The idea for this project began to form during my time in Eastern Ukraine from 2003-2005. In many cases I discovered that Ukrainians' way of doing things was better than what I had known before. "Better" is always a word needing qualification, and the qualifier differs in each case. Take Ukrainian bread: It's better than the pre-sliced bread from grocery stores I was used to on dimensions of taste, nutrition, and texture; on the other hand, it was worse on dimensions of shelf life, tidiness (crumbs would fly upon slicing), and even PPP cost.
The insight for me was that societies have comparative strengths and weaknesses developed over time in response to conditions on the ground. This goes far beyond food, which after all is largely a matter of taste and habit, and into the ways in which societies organize themselves economically in general.
Each of these innovations eventually created a robust market in the United States by targeting consumers that had been over-served by incumbent technologies. Relative to the 'jobs to be done' of these consumers, the product characteristics of physical smallness, efficiency, and low cost were all attractive. Importantly, however, these products were not created in the United States: They were originally of, by, and for the Japanese market, where conditions on the ground differed markedly from those in the United States. Products initially created for obvious markets in Japan would eventually create much larger, though initially less obvious, markets in the United States. This happened dramatically and repeatedly from the 1950s through the 1980s.
Many commentators on the healthcare industry in the United States have called for various avenues of disruption to the industry, which would broaden access, lower costs, and improve outcomes. Though the barriers to disrupting healthcare in the U.S. are many, I believe adopting new, disruptive models of delivery inspired directly by successful innovations from the highly constrained markets of the world is one route that will greatly help. Globalhealth.care, then, is a research project hoping to aid the transfer of these innovations, and thus aid the continuing betterment of the U.S. healthcare system.


IBM has launched the DB2 9 data server--code named "Viper." DB2 9 was designed to enable clients to improve their ability to manage all types of information, such as documents, audio and video files, images, web pages, and digitally signed XML transactions. IBM's new data server provides simultaneous information flow of XML and relational data, regardless of format, platform, or location. DB2 9 includes a trio of advancements, including patented "pureXML" technology, "Venom" storage compression, and enhanced autonomic data management capabilities. The new version of DB2 also enables access to data stored on conventional Oracle and MySQL databases--a feature unavailable from those vendors.
DB2 9 features enhancements, including: pureXML technology, which allows clients to manage both conventional relational data and pure XML data without requiring the XML data to be reformatted or placed into a large object within the database; Venom storage compression, which allows database administrators (DBAs) to utilize row compression for compressing data objects; Autonomic storage management, designed to help clients by automating storage management tasks, which currently require manual and incremental changes by administrators; Security enhancements, where DB2 9 offers Label Based Access Control (LBAC), a data access capability that provides a flexible means of defining security hierarchies and classification levels; Disaster recovery improvements, with the ability to restart interrupted recovery operations; Advanced data partitioning, DB2 9 supports the three common methods of partitioning: range partitioning, multi-dimensional clustering, and hashing, This capability enables organizations to arrange and order their information in the way that suits their individual business requirements; and Automatic memory management, this memory management capability works for small workloads and adapts to complex multi-instance installations. DB2 9 will begin shipping worldwide on July 28, with pricing starting at $4,874 per processor or $165 per user (minimum of 5 users) for DB2 9 Express.


The Celts is a remarkable achievement, not least because the Celts, in the belief that knowledge was a spiritual possession, left virtually no written records.
Using archaeological evidence and descriptions from classical sources, Chadwick reveals the Celts to be a people feared and admired in equal measure, who occupied vast swathes of Europe for over a thousand years from the 8th century BC.
The Celts history is one of resilience and unlikely survival, as first the Romans - for whom they were both formidable opponents and, later, invaluable allies - and then the Anglo-Saxons, descended on the lands the Celts had made their home. By shedding light on the pagan and Christian religions, the mythology, institutions and artistic heritage of the Celts, Chadwick crafts an intimate portrait of early life across Europe and the British Isles.
First published in 1971, The Celts has proved to be a huge influence over a generation of academics and anyone interested in the Celts.
"Little is known in detail of pre-Christian sanctuaries in Ireland, although ritual centres undoubtedly existed. Owing to the conservation of oral tradition in Ireland, however, a rich corpus of mythology survived to be written down in the early Christian period. The remarkable affection of the Celts in Ireland for their pre-Christian past allowed them, without compromising their newly won faith, to preserve something of their pagan tradition. Some of the individuals who figure in the myths were undoubtedly gods, although Christian ethics did not permit them to be represented as such. It is possible to establish correlations between certain details relating to places and things, and even aspects of behaviour, as recounted in the literature, and archaeological material, particularly that of the continental and insular Celts of the La Tène period [in modern Switzerland]. A close study of these correlations and their interpretation is difficult and, if uncritical, may be misleading. Much remains to be done, but such a study is essential in any attempt to understand the beliefs of the pre-Christian Celts.

Widespread condemnation after government websites in Ukraine are shut down by 'massive' cyber hack
NATO and the European Union led strong condemnation after Government websites of various Ukrainian ministries were hacked on Thursday evening (13 January). The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported this on Friday. According to Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Oleg Nikolenko, it is too soon to draw conclusions about who could have been behind the attacks. However it is widely suspected that Russia was behind the attacks.

Facebook CTO Bret Taylor's Biggest Mistake? Buying Servers
alex williams / 10 Feb 2011 / Web
Facebook CTO Bret Taylor says buying servers was a mistake. A very big mistake. At the time, he was chief executive at FriendFeed, which eventually was sold to Facebook for the tidy sum of a reported $50 million. But these were the early days. He and his team needed to decide between buying servers or using Amazon Web Services. They bought the servers.
In an interview with the BBC, Taylor said that it became work in itself to keep the servers optimized and working:
I think that was a big mistake in retrospect. The reason for that is despite the fact it cost much less in terms of dollars spent to purchase our own, it meant we had to maintain them ourselves, and there were times where I'd have to wake up in the middle of the night and drive down to a data centre to fix a problem.
Friendfeed is still around, now under Facebook's control. Funny, when you think about it, Facebook is now building data centers of its own. It is buying a lot of servers. At least, though, Taylor now has a team of dozens who keep the platform running so he is not making any more lonely trips in the early morning hours to a humming room full of servers.
The stack Facebook develops will determine if it can meet the coming great data challenges of this new time. Data is scaling across networks and through connected tablets and smartphones. How platforms update under such circumstances is not lost on Taylor. He says as much in the interview.

CranioSacral Therapy is a gently non invasive hands on treatment that involves treating the whole body of the horse with specific focus on the cranium/ head of the horse and the hind end or sacrum. CranioSacral originated from Osteopathy. It is one of the only therapies that involves treatment of the 26 individual bones of the skull with the whole body which brings balance to the musculoskeletal balance throughout the whole horse.
In 1999 Maureen adapted her human studies and created Equine CranioSacral Workshops, teaching the first workshop and pioneering a new field of study.
What inspired you to create this unique collection?
Treating horses with CranioSacral and teaching for 19 years, the beauty of horse is deeper than what we see to the outside, The bones of the skull are an intricate, delicate and strong architectural structure. To be able to present it in an artful way, beyond just the anatomy of the horse, people would have a different appreciation for this intricate structure and the horse. Also, art allows the person viewing an image to see beyond what they see they think the image is!
Will you be exhibiting the Collection?
Yes!!! The collection will be available at several exhibitions throughout the UK in 2017 and 2018. We are excited for our first public launch at Olympia Horse Show in London December 2017! We.look forward to seeing you there!!!
No! I worked with a dear friend of mine, who is a very talented Documentary Photographer in the UK, Giles Penfound. With his gifted photographic ability it brought the skulls and images to life!! Check him out at Pictures on a Page on Facebook!
Why did you call the project "A Cranial Perspective From a Horse's View?"
I named the project "A Cranial Perspective From a Horse's View" as it is just that... A new way of seeing the skull and bones in the beauty they have from the inside out. I hope it brings a new perspective of the horse to those that view the images!
More information about the people behind the project coming soon!!


BMI songwriter Larry Henley was recently presented a Million-Air Certificate for "Wind Beneath My Wings," which has received over six million broadcast performances. Co-written with Jeff Silbar, the song has been recorded by dozens of artists including Patti LaBelle, Bette Midler and Gary Morris. Henley's list of writing credits also includes the BMI Award winners "Is It Still Over" (Randy Travis) and "Lizzie and The Rain Man" (Tanya Tucker). Based on an average length of three minutes, six million performances is the equivalent of 300,000 hours, or 34 years, of continuous airplay.

Methane Rules Are Good for the Energy Industry
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Everywhere you look, it seems there's another ad trying to persuade people that natural gas is the key to a clean energy future. The American Petroleum Institute (API) is running a seven-figure campaign touting its climate benefits, despite the fact that natural gas is a fossil fuel with a significant carbon footprint.The industry conducts misleading campaigns like this one because pressure to reduce greenhouse emissions is building. People are coming to realize that we need a 100% clean economy, and they increasingly want pollution-free energy.To be sure, gas can be lower-emitting than other fossil fuels: For example, gas releases about half as much carbon dioxide as coal during combustion. But natural gas is made of the potent greenhouse gas methane, and methane leaks are far too common across the industry. The result is emissions that can be staggeringly large, threatening to undermine whatever near-term climate advantages gas offered in the first place.And even as the industry promotes natural gas as an eco-friendly alternative to coal, it's fighting rules to curb those harmful leaks. Groups like the API are championing the Trump administration's plans to abolish EPA regulations on methane emissions across the oil and gas supply chain, and to remove all federal air pollution rules for pipeline and storage facilities. Together, that could result in 5 million metric tons of methane entering the atmosphere each year — equivalent to the emissions from 109 coal plants. So much for that clean energy future.Fortunately, not everybody wants to roll back the environmental clock. Leading producers like Shell, BP, Equinor, Pioneer and Jonah Energy have indicated opposition to Trump's proposal, with some even calling for stronger federal regulation. Leading gas customers — more than a dozen electric and gas utilities, including Calpine and Exelon — support the standards, too.But the vast majority of American oil and gas companies, collectively responsible for nearly 90% of total U.S. production, have stayed conspicuously quiet in the face of a rollback that will make their product dirtier.Consider the implications for climate change. Methane from human activities is responsible for more than a quarter of the global warming we're experiencing today, and the oil and gas industry is responsible for a quarter of that. Each pound of methane released has more than 80 times the warming power of the same amount of carbon dioxide the first 20 years after it is released.That means every company with an interest in natural gas — producers, users, distributors — has a vital stake in reducing methane emissions and supporting the policies necessary to do the job. This includes the electric utilities banking on gas to meet their own climate targets, along with investors in each of these areas.Worldwide, oil and gas companies release an estimated 79 million metric tons of methane each year. A five-year series of studies organized by EDF recently concluded that emissions from the U.S. oil and gas sector were a full 60% higher than EPA estimates. And much of that research predates the massive production boom in the Permian Basin, where research suggests the amount of methane escaping has tripled in just the past two years.Some operators are setting targets and implementing straightforward measures like replacing leaky valves and inspecting more regularly for leaks. But in a fragmented industry with thousands of companies, regulations are essential to raise the bar for everyone.The best science tells us that to have a fighting chance at climate stability, the U.S., European Union and other advanced economies need to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century, with the rest of the world following soon after. While there are different scenarios for achieving that goal, there's no doubt industry's methane pollution must be virtually eliminated.And there's no doubt it can be done.The International Energy Agency estimates that oil and gas methane emissions can be cut by 75% using technologies available today, and that two-thirds of that can be achieved at no net cost. And according to the IEA, the environmental upside is staggering: Those no-cost reductions alone would have the same climate benefit as immediately shutting all the coal-fired power plants in China.That's one reason why investors managing more than $5.5 trillion across both sides of the Atlantic have opposed the rollback, and have called on the industry to speak up in support of the U.S. methane rules. A growing number of leading oil and gas firms have acknowledged that methane is a major challenge, but also an important opportunity to demonstrate real, measurable climate progress.The private sector has a critical role to play in opposing rollbacks in the U.S., and supporting new policy in the EU, which has a unique opportunity to leverage its role as a major gas buyer. If oil and gas companies really want to be part of a cleaner global energy future, it's time for them to step up and support strong methane rules.To contact the author of this story: Fred Krupp at fkrupp@edf.orgTo contact the editor responsible for this story: Tracy Walsh at twalsh67@bloomberg.netThis column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Bloomberg LP and its owners.Fred Krupp is the president of Environmental Defense Fund and has guided EDF for three decades.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com/opinionSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Discount iPhone X Wholesale price from China wholesaler
by irelia · July 27, 2018
Update: The iPhone X has been out more than six months now and it still stands up against many of the handsets that have been released since – namely the Galaxy S9 and Huawei P20/Huawei P20 Pro. A series of software updates have added more Animoji (one of the key reasons to get the iPhone X in our honest option) and elevated the hardware to a high benchmark.
However, its been dogged by reports of so-called "weak" sales and slashed production targets, meaning attention has very much turned towards what's coming next. If the rumours are to be believed, we could see an iPhone XL or iPhone X Plus, the iPhone 11 (or iPhone XI), or Apple could even go back a step and launch the iPhone 9 and iPhone 9 Plus at its September event. The iPhone X Plus is said to measure 6.5 inches with a 1,242 x 2,688-pixel resolution, is codenamed D33.
If you're looking to upgrade in the next couple of months, it might be worth holding out for Apple's next model. What's more, Apple could drop the price of the iPhone X as a result of any new launches. Or, if you're looking to upgrade sooner, read on to see our iPhone X review.
iPhone X review
The iPhone X – pronounced iPhone "Ten" – is the expensive flagship handset Apple developed to mark the tenth anniversary of the original iPhone and it's startlingly similar to the Samsung Galaxy S8.
Yet labeling the iPhone X as little more than a look at what Samsung is doing in the smartphone space is a little unfair. Apple may not have invented the technologies it lays claim to, but it has been instrumental in bringing many to the mainstream.
Of course, Apple hasn't always been at the forefront of tech – it added NFC long after Android phones and is jumping on the AR bandwagon more than a year since Pokémon GO's peak – but it has the uncanny knack of waiting until consumers are ready to embrace these changes, rather than getting ahead of them. And this is exactly what it's done with the iPhone X.
As you'll read below, the iPhone X is the best iPhone ever made, but there is a catch. We're reluctant to recommend anyone spend £1,000 on a phone and our list of flaws will reveal why. In a similar vein, Consumer Reportsrecently published its full breakdown of its iPhone X tests and it's a mixed bag of results. Firstly, the iPhone X did not beat its predecessor, the iPhone 8, during the rigorous review process. The iPhone X's battery life and strength were called into question and its price was a major sticking point for the company.
In the initial drop test, the iPhone X performed "just fine", and it surived four falls onto a concrete surface from a height of 5 feet. However, using a tumbling machine, which includes a rotating chamber that repeatedly drops a phone from a height of about 2.5 feet, the phone fared less well. After 100 tumbles, the glass on the rear of the phone significantly cracked. The screens stopped working properly after 50 drops.
However, Consumer Reports did praise the iPhone X's fantastic display (which we're in agreement with), and its camera is top notch. Despite its criticisms, the iPhone X did make the list of the top 10 smartphones on the market – so it's not all bad.

iPhone X review: Design
Apple deliberately saved its high-end features for the iPhone X and it's unlike anything it's released before.
It has the largest screen of any iPhone, at 5.8in and it stretches from edge to edge like those seen on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8. This screen is Apple's first foray into OLED displays, too, and to fit the larger screen onto the device the home button has been ditched. Instead, there's a 'notch' that houses the phone's Face ID camera (more on which later). You'd imagine this might make the handset feel large, but by maximising screen size without increasing the size of the handset, the iPhone X feels smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus. In fact, it's closer in design and feel to the original iPhone than any of its recent predecessors.
The iPhone X is available in white with a chrome silver trim, and black, with a shiny dark grey trim, and is reminiscent of the iPhone 3GS in look if not build quality. This is a bold move away from its range of previous colours. There's no gold or rose gold option anymore and neither model quite gives the phone the same stand out quality. iPhones are used (and have been sold as) statement handsets and they're instantly recognisable; with its screen switched off, the the iPhone X looks very much like A N Other Android phone.
Made predominantly from glass reinforced with steel, a design move enforced by the inclusion of Qi wireless charging, the handset has a habit of picking up fingerprints ridiculously easily. This glass panelling doesn't feel as cold as the metal handsets of yore, though, and there's something reassuring about how its warmth adds to how attached you feel to it, even after a couple of minutes of use.
Aside from the lack of home button, most other design features remain. The power and volume buttons are where you'd expect, preserving a modicum of familiarity. The iPhone X has IP67 dust and waterproofing and there's still no 3.5mm headphone jack, sadly. To compensate for the lack of home button, Siri and Apple Pay features have moved to the side button, which also needs to be clicked when installing apps. You also now take a screenshot on the iPhone X by holding the right-hand button and volume up together, which feels very "Androidy". The camera bump is fitted vertically rather than horizontally on the rear (to make room for the Face ID sensors) and this makes the phone noticeably wobble when placed on a flat surface.
All in all, the handset doesn't have the pizazz or wow factor I was expecting but its specifications are impressive and they have understated, more subtle power which signifies something a little different for Apple.
iPhone X review: Face ID
The unsightly notch mentioned before, which encroaches from the top edge of the screen, replaces the Touch ID home button and it brings with it a new form of biometric authentication: Face ID.
Powered by Apple's so-called TrueDepth camera system, this includes a number of sensors designed to recognise a person's face, including a dot projector, infrared camera and flood illuminator (a fancy name for what is effectively a flash), all of which work together to scan your face when you look at it for the purposes of unlocking the phone and authenticating Apple Pay transactions.
I was cynical at first but Face ID is incredibly slick and swiping up from the bottom of the screen as the phone unlocks soon becomes second nature. Setting up Face ID is far simpler than adding a fingerprint too, you simply roll your face in a circle, and it's amazing just how smoothly all those sensors work with such little interaction.
Face ID works effortlessly with glasses and without, and even performs in dim or dark conditions. By comparison, Samsung's iris recognition tech doesn't work at all if you're wearing glasses. Although we've had more failures with Face ID in the dark than at any other time, we've had only a small handful of failures in the two days we've been using it.
Moreover, Apple has build in a certain degree of protection against accidental unlocking – a system Apple calls Attention-Aware, which checks that you're awake and alert before unlocking the phone. Of course, the standout feature of this tech is the ability to create Animojis, which use the Face ID camera to transform your facial expressions into a singing poop or unicorn. Completely pointless but fantastic fun and a sign that Apple doesn't always take itself too seriously.
One frustration with Face ID is that it's not as easy to open the device when it's on a table as it is with Touch ID and using it to pay for stuff via a contactless card readers (on the London Underground, for instance), now involves having to double tap the side button and look at the phone before placing it on the terminal.
There's another knock-on effect from the loss of the home button, too. One of these is that the Control Centre is now accessed by swiping down from the tiny space to the right of the notch instead of the more straightforward swipe from the bottom of the screen.
I'm also not too keen on the new action for bringing up the iPhone's notifications – a swipe from the very top of the screen, just below the notch – which, to me, feels fiddly. This, again, feels very Androidy.
Getting to the recent apps view is a little more intuitive. You drag your thumb up from the bottom of the screen and hold it there for a short while. However, it's no longer possible to simply swipe your apps away; instead you have to press and hold and then click the red 'delete' icon. A small yet significant annoyance.
iPhone X review: Camera
Apple has consistently made great cameras. They may not always be the best in the market (the Google Pixel 2 currently takes that crown) but the iPhone X camera, like the iPhone 8 Plus, captures photos reliably and shoots detail-packed, steady 4K video.
On its rear, the iPhone X has two 12MP rear cameras, both equipped with OIS (optical image stabilisation) and phase detect autofocus. One is a wide angle f/1.8 camera, the other a 2x telephoto "zoom". The latter offers slightly brighter aperture at f/2.4 than the iPhone 8 Plus' telephoto camera, but otherwise, it's the same setup.
That means performance across the board is pretty similar with excellent results in both good and bad light. It may not reach Pixel heights but the iPhone X's camera is right up there with other rivals, namely the Huawei Mate 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
There is one oddity, though, and that is while the brighter aperture of the zoom lens ought to translate into less noisy images in low light, what seems to happen is that, when the light dips, the software simply switches to the wide angle camera and crops the image. That's disappointing, and it impacts on image quality.
Still, that's a small complaint, and for the most part the camera works brilliantly. Portrait mode works as nicely as ever and, for the first time, this mode is available using the front-facing 7MP camera; a way to turn your selfies into professional-looking snaps at the touch of a button. It's not as good as the rear camera at producing flattering photos but it's certainly a positive addition.
iPhone X review: Display quality and performance
Early third-party benchmark tests of the iPhone X have been unanimously positive. In fact, Displaymate, which runs exhaustive tests on phone displays, says the iPhone X has the best display it has ever tested.
Our own tests echo Displaymate's findings. The iPhone X's 2,046 x 1,125 OLED screen is sharp, it's incredibly colour accurate and it's bright, too. In fact, we'd say the OLED screen is near perfect. Plus, there are no problems with viewing angles and odd-looking colours (Google Pixel 2 XL, we're looking at you).
As for speed and responsiveness, well that's unimpeachable as well. The iPhone X uses the new Apple A11 Bionic chip to power it along and this, coupled with 3GB of RAM, produces very similar benchmark results to the iPhone 8 Plus. Basically, alongside its more humdrum siblings, the iPhone X is the fastest phone on the market.
More important than all-out speed is battery life and although we've only had the phone a few days, it is possible to draw some early conclusions on this. The first is that it doesn't last very long during video playback. In our battery benchmark, which involves playing a video on loop in flight mode until the battery dies, the X lasted a mere 9hrs 22mins, which is a disappointing result, certainly when compared with Android rivals. The iPhone 8 Plus with its larger battery lasted far longer at 13hrs 54mins.
That's not to say the phone won't last you a day or even more in real-world use – we'll add our thoughts on this when we've had the chance to use it for longer – but it's safe to say that it won't last as long as the iPhone 8 Plus.
iPhone X review: Sound quality
The speakers on the iPhone X continue Apple's trend of high-quality audio tech in its phones and iPads. They're louder than previous models and less tinny, meaning music from the phone is more comfortable to listen to without headphones. There's still no headphone jack, and there's still no official hi-res support within iTunes though, even if Apple claims it supports FLAC on its website through the My Files app.
Bass on the speakers is detailed and treble is rich and the iPhone X plays song with various instruments and levels better than any other smartphone we've used. There have been reports of some users experiencing a crackling and squeaky sound on the iPhone X and Apple is said to be looking into the issues.
iPhone X review: Verdict
The iPhone X doesn't feel like an iPhone at all, and that's not a criticism. It feels luxurious, sturdy and expensive – which, at £999, it is – with some subtle Android-style features that close the gap between the two ever so slightly.
I personally love the Samsung S8 Edge but I wouldn't buy it purely because of the software. I'm an iOS fangirl; I find it easier to use and less cluttered than Android plus, for better or worse, I'm thoroughly entrenched in Apple's ecosystem. These little changes to the iPhone X introduce the parts of Android I like without removing what I like about iOS reducing the temptation to make the jump.
Some of the physical design changes that move it closer to Samsung, for example, don't excite me as much. After just two days I was feeling nostalgic for my iPhone 8 Plus with its familiar white front and larger keyboard.
That said, there are enough innovations and differences here to make a buyer seriously consider upgrading from the iPhone 7, or there would be if it weren't for that sky high price; because it's the sheer cost of the thing that puts me off.
Tim Cook recently said that this high price was justified given just how much tech is inside the device (a claim that doesn't punch quite as hard when reports suggest the phone itself costs £280 to build, even if that is the highest manufacturing costs of any iPhone) but it's still hard to stomach. In short, while the performance, display and the camera combine to make this Apple's best ever phone, it is isn't significantly better than its rivals to warrant the huge jump in price.

I am very late with this, but I still wanted to write a few words about Akademy 2015.
First of all: It was an awesome conference! Meeting all the great people involved with KDE and seeing who I am working with (as in: face to face, not via email) was awesome. We had some very interesting discussions on a wide variety of topics, and also enjoyed quite some beer together. Particularly important to me was of course talking to Daniel Vrátil who is working on XdgApp, and Aleix Pol of Muon Discover fame.
Also meeting with the other Kubuntu members was awesome – I haven't seen some of them for about 3 years, and also met many cool people for the first time.
We also managed to discuss some new technical stuff, like AppStream for Kubuntu, and plenty of other things that I'll write about in a separate blog post.
Generally, I got so many new impressions from this year's Akademy, that I could write a 10-pages long blogpost about it while still having to leave out things.
Kudos to the organizers of this Akademy, you did a fantastic job! I also want to thank the Ubuntu community for funding my trip, and the Kubuntu community for pushing me a little to attend :-).
KDE is a great community with people driving the development of Free Software forward. The diversity of people, projects and ideas in KDE is a pleasure, and I am very happy to be part of this community.

NOTE: Due to the current high interest in Mrs. Delany, the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum has taken the decision to limit most visitors wishing to see her works to one box per visit (usually about 20 works). This is because they are extremely fragile, and are beginning to be damaged by visitors not lifting each work clear of the one underneath and scoring the surface with the mount corners. Please note that two examples of her work are always on display in the Enlightenment Gallery (Room 1; in the wall cases near case 1). Researchers working on a project who need to see more than one box should contact the student room in advance of their visit by emailing the British Museum's Department of Prints and Drawings.

Thanks

A: Microsoft.mshtml.dll from PIA folder is not signed.
If you have signed project, you must take version from "Primary Interop Assemblies" folder.
To do that:
1. Remove reference to Microsoft.mshtml (if you have one in your project)
2. Click "Add Reference" and than DO NOT select "Extensions" but "Browse" and point to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies" (for .64 bit Machines) - that version is signed.
3. Edit properties (select microsoft.mshtml reference and press F4) in order to set:
Embed Interop Types=false
Copy Local=true

4. Rebuild your project

A: Verify that the 'Microsoft.mshtml.dll' file, distributed with the program is the PIA file and not an Office file. Some sites claims that the Office files are "delay signed" and the PIA file (installed with the VS installation) is a signed copy. on my computer I have 3 different versions of 'Microsoft.mshtml.dll' file, (same file-size, but different content):

*

*"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office11\Microsoft.mshtml.dll"

*"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office12\Microsoft.mshtml.dll"

*"c:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies\Microsoft.mshtml.dll"
Remove "Microsoft.mshtml.dll" reference from the project.
Use "Add Reference", ".Net" tab, select the PIA file, use "copy loacal" option.
(It worked for me . . .)
Atara

A: The first step to tracking down this issue is to determine if it's really Mcirosoft.mshtml.dll or one of it's dependencies.  The best way to do this is to use fuslogvw to track the assembly load failure. It will provide detailed information about which assembly is failing.

*

*http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e74a18c4(VS.71).aspx
Once you deterimen which assembly is failing, please post back with the results.
EDIT
That warning message suggests that the operation eventually succeeded.  It doesn't appear to have the error in it.

A: I had this same problem too but my issue was using TFS Build 2008.
The hintpath was relative and had to be changed to the exact path.
Otherwise during the build it kept picking up the Office mshtml.dll
<HintPath>..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies\Microsoft.mshtml.dll</HintPath>
<HintPath>C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies\Microsoft.mshtml.dll</HintPath>

A: After days of trying to find answers and trying different solutions, i ended up just doing a search at the root of my project (in windows explorer) for 'Microsoft.mshtml' and deleting it.

Sugar Futures---Sugar Futures in the March contract settled last Friday in New York at 16.60 a pound while currently trading at 12.84 up about 24 points for the trading week still experiencing very low volatility.
Sugar prices are trading above their 20 and 100 day moving average as the trend is slightly higher as I've been recommending a bullish position from around the 12.57 level and if you took the trade keep the stop at 11.69 as an exit strategy, however in next week's trade that will be raised therefor the monetary risk will be lowered.
The next major level resistance is at the January 16th high of 13.27 and if that is broken I think there is the possibility prices could touch the October 24th high of 14.24 as I still think there's room to run to the upside.
Sugar prices have been riding the coattails of crude oil which has had a significant rally in 2019 as sugar is used as an ethanol product. Fundamentally speaking the world is still awash in sugar as India actually will become the number one producer of sugar in the world taking over Brazil, but technically speaking the market looks like it still wants to move higher so stay long and continue to place the proper stop loss.

Liturgy Needs Tradition and Progress, Says Pope
Notes Fruits as Well as Errors in 50 Years of Reform
May 06, 2011 00:00ZENIT StaffSpirituality
VATICAN CITY, MAY 6, 2011 (Zenit.org).- The liturgy lives from a constant relationship between tradition and progress, according to Benedict XVI.
The Pope made this observation today when he addressed participants in the 9th International Congress on the Liturgy sponsored by the Pontifical Liturgical Institute of Rome's St. Anselm Pontifical Athenaeum.
The congress, titled "The Pontifical Institute: Between Memory and Prophecy," was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the institute's foundation by Pope John XXIII.
The Holy Father drew from this title to consider "memory" and "prophecy."
"In regard to memory, we must note the abundant fruits elicited by the Holy Spirit in half a century of history, and for this we must thank the Giver of all good, despite the misunderstandings and errors in the concrete realization of the reform," he said.
"With the term 'prophecy,'" the Pontiff continued, "our gaze opens to new horizons."
He said that the "liturgy of the Church goes beyond the 'conciliar reform.'" This reform, Benedict XVI clarified, "was not primarily to change the rites and gestures, but rather to renew mentalities and to put at the center of Christian life and ministry the celebration of the paschal mystery of Christ. Unfortunately, perhaps, also for us pastors and experts, the liturgy was taken more as an object to be reformed rather than a subject capable of renewing Christian life."
The liturgy lives from a "correct and constant relationship between healthy 'traditio' and legitimate 'progressio,'" he added.
"Not infrequently tradition and progress are clumsily opposed," the Pope stated. "In reality, the two concepts are integrated: tradition is a living reality, which because of this includes in itself the principle of development, of progress."

Crusty metal six-piece Ilsa call out cruelty and corruption through the story of an 80s murderer
By Jamie Ludwig @unlistenmusic

ilsa.bandcamp.com
Even if you buy into the idea that musicians should stay out of politics, how do you overlook the politics baked into everything around you? Take the COVID-19 pandemic: What's more destructive, the virus or the leaders who don't even try to get it under control? Preyer, the new album from D.C. six-piece Ilsa, was born in lockdown, and they use it to take the piss out of the corruption, inhumanity, and lust for power that helped drive society to this particular brink. With a caustic blend of death metal, doom, sludge, and crust punk, Ilsa reframe the story of Sean Sellers, the only person the U.S. has put to death for crimes committed under age 17 since reinstating the death penalty in 1976, as an indictment of what they see as a toxic Christian nationalist state; at his trial in 1986, he claimed he'd been an active satanist and possessed by a demon when he shot and killed his mother and stepfather (though by then he'd converted to Christianity in jail). Ilsa set the scene with opener "Epigraph," which accompanies slowly building doom metal with testimony from Sellers about the night in 1985 when he murdered a convenience store clerk. Sellers appealed for clemency, citing his conversion and a diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder, but he was executed in 1999. Sellers's crimes were unquestionably heinous, but it's essential to question a system that justifies applying the death penalty to a teenager who may have had a severe mental health disorder. We have to look at those who benefit from such a system and why—elected officials, for example, who campaign on religious principles, only to vote against funding for public health and social services and accept donations from for-profit prisons. (As vocalist Orian sings on the anti-Christofascist groover "Shibboleth": "Faith's distortion is noxious / Contrary to liberty.") In that sense, Ilsa speak heavy truths to power just as successfully as they lay down colossally heavy riffs. v

Algonquin Quest 2-Book Bundle
By Rick Revelle
Painting a vivid picture of the original peoples of North America, long before European colonization changed the face of the continent, the Algonquin Quest novels show the traditions, the legends and the intrigue that shaped the First Nations. For Mahingan and his family, caught in the middle of a defining conflict with the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), warfare is a part of life, but so are the natural world and the rich web of culture he shares with allies like the Omàmiwinini (Algonquin), the Ouendat (Huron), and the Nippissing.
I Am Algonquin
This novel follows the story of a warrior named Mahingan and his family as they live the traditional Algonquin way of life long before Europeans arrived in North America. Hunting and warfare are daily concerns, and signs point to a defining conflict between Mahingan's nation and its enemies.
Algonquin Spring
Six years ago, Mahingan's wife was taken from him by the Haudenosaunee at the Battle of the Falls. Now, after learning that she is still alive and captive, he and his remaining family struggle to survive and rescue her. But events 2,000 kilometres away, and a mysterious Mi'kmaq legend, are conspiring in ways that could snatch away Mahingan's hopes.

Study: 90 percent chance Earth warms by more than 2 degrees
"Overall, the goals expressed in the Paris Agreement are ambitious but realistic," researcher Adrian Raftery said. "The bad news is they are unlikely to be enough."

July 31 (UPI) -- New research suggests the chance of limiting global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius is highly unlikely. According to the latest analysis, there is a 90 percent chance Earth will warm by 2.0 to 4.9 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has previously offered warming projections based on different scenarios related to the global effort to curb carbon emissions. The panel set a goal of curbing global warming to 2 degrees. Scientists warn warming above such a threshold is likely to trigger catastrophic sea level rise, as well as extreme droughts, heat waves and weather.
Speculating about the consequences of various policy scenarios may be a good way to communicate what's at stake in the fight to curb global warming, but it's not ideal for scientific modeling.
"The IPCC was clear that these scenarios were not forecasts," Adrian Raftery, a professor of statistics and sociology at the University of Washington, said in a news release. "The big problem with scenarios is that you don't know how likely they are, and whether they span the full range of possibilities or are just a few examples. Scientifically, this type of storytelling approach was not fully satisfying."
Raftery and his colleagues developed a model based not on scenarios, but on measurable inputs. The researchers analyzed the trajectory and impact on global warming of three factors: total world population, GDP per person and carbon intensity, or carbon emitted per dollar of economic activity.
To postulate forward, scientists analyzed the three inputs' effect on global warming over the last 50 years. Their analysis -- published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change -- suggests there is only a 5 percent chance Earth warms by less than 2 degrees.
Researchers found carbon intensity was the most important factor in predicting future warming. As technologies improve and governments curb emissions, carbon intensity has been dropping in many advanced economies over the past few decades. But at the current rate, carbon intensity is unlikely to fall fast enough to prevent significant warming.
RELATED New carbon-capturing membranes may reduce greenhouse gas emissions
"Overall, the goals expressed in the Paris Agreement are ambitious but realistic," Raftery said. "The bad news is they are unlikely to be enough to achieve the target of keeping warming at or below 1.5 degrees."
