Let me introduce you to my Free Antique stainless steel medical cabinet!
It was sitting by the back door of a dental office for the longest time, missing all of the glass shelves.
One day I got up the nerve to ask about it. I was told the dentist no longer needed the cabinet and whoever wanted it could have it for free.
I called on my husband to help me out. He loaded this heavy cabinet on his pick-up truck and drove it to our first home; a tiny two bedroom cottage. (We had the glass shelves custom cut at a local glass shop).
We placed it in the corner of our living room. It looked really cute there, but I longed for it to be in a kitchen. A few years later we purchased our current home and now it sits proudly in our dining area.
I store a mix of white and blue plates, cups, bowls and other things on the shelves.
Here are a few pictures...go ahead and poke around.
I love being able to see what I have through the glass.
That is awesome! And stainless steel is so in style now and has always been classic in homes. I love stacking plates the way you have, too. I enjoyed looking on each shelf. I think I need to start looking for something for my odd pieces of china. I love what you've done!
Oh i love this cabinet. What a treasure, and you have it displayed so beautifully. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me.
What a gorgeous cabinet !!! Even the legs are elegantly curved - what a find of a lifetime !
Oh my my my! What a gorgeous piece! Thanx for sharing it at THT.
Wow! I usually don't like steel cabinets, they are so cold and have not a decent shape. But this one is absolutely gorgeous! You restored and displayed it so, so nicely! It is inspirational, indeed!
this cabinet is so unique and I love that you got it for free! Awesome!! You've filled with lots of lovelies. Thanks for sharing it with SYC.
Great find Julie and you can't do better than free!
Well if that isn't the best reason ever to get over the dentists drill I don't know what is! I love your cabinet, it is absolutely stunning...Congrats on your find!
Love your cabinet. I have an antique apothecary cabinet in my master bath. It holds towels and my pretty perfume and bubble bath bottles. Your's is much bigger though and a great score!
Should you ever grow tired of your cabinet, which is beautiful, please let me know. I have all stainless, exposed wood, and brick in my home which is very industrial and would purchase it in a heartbeat!
What a great score. I love the look!
Looks like something out of RH - I'd love to have this piece in my home !
I hope you rewarded the Dentist for his kindness by offering him something in return.
Wow, that was a major score!! Good for you and it looks great in your dining room.

Apple Watch Series 3 Goes Cellular
Apple Watch fans, the rumors were spot on: the new Apple Watch Series 3 will indeed have built-in cellular capabilities for standalone Internet connectivity without an iPhone nearby. Or rather, one model will; you can still get a Series 3 that's limited to GPS connectivity when it's away from its paired iPhone.
Other hardware changes in the Series 3 include a faster dual-core processor, a barometric altimeter to measure relative elevation, and a garish red dot on the cellular model's digital crown — if you don't like it, you can cover it up with WatchDots.
Software improvements are on tap as well. The new watchOS 4, due 19 September 2017, will bring with it an improved Heart Rate app and, for those with the cellular model of the Series 3, the option to stream the full Apple Music catalog right from your wrist — with no iPhone involved.
The capabilities of watchOS 4 have been well documented for the most part (see "watchOS 4 Focuses on Fun and Fundamentals," 5 June 2017), but the new Heart Rate app is a surprise. Not only can it display your heart rate as a complication on the watch face, it can even warn you of an alarmingly high heart rate or the onset of atrial fibrillation (which we already knew it could do in theory, see "Apple Watch Can Detect Abnormal Heart Rhythms," 12 May 2017).
More About Cellular — It's no shock that Apple built cellular access into the Apple Watch Series 3 given that competing smartwatch makers have been doing so for a while now.
The details of Apple's implementation are technologically impressive, though. To start, Apple combined the Series 3's LTE and UMTS cellular radio with a display that doubles as an antenna, along with an "eSIM" that is about one-hundredth the size of a standard SIM card. Apple says that the watch can be activated over the air on its own.
For convenience, the Series 3 will use the same phone number as its iPhone companion, but it won't be free. AppleInsider reports that AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon will all be charging $10 per month for watch connectivity after a three-month trial. In all cases, the data used by the Apple Watch comes from the same bucket as its associated iPhone. AT&T notes that the Series 3 can receive iMessage messages, but not SMS text messages.
The implication of Apple's demo was that anything the Apple Watch can do via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi while connected to its iPhone, it can do while untethered via cellular: phone calls, messaging, Siri, calendar notifications, and more. Apple demoed making a live phone call to an Apple employee who was on a standup paddleboard in the middle of a large body of water — she managed to have a coherent conversation that sounded remarkably good, all without falling.
Third-Gen Hardware — The Series 3 watches boast a third-generation hardware architecture that includes that faster dual-core processor, which will allow for faster app launches and smoother graphics performance, both of which have been an issue for those with older models.
The new hardware allows for other enhancements. Siri can now speak, for instance, via a built-in speaker. And the Series 3 has an all-new W2 wireless chip to make Wi-Fi up to 85 percent speedier. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth power efficiency is 50 percent better, too. These hardware changes increase the Series 3's size only marginally, making the back crystal slightly thicker.
That new barometric altimeter looks to come in handy for a wide variety of workouts, from running and bicycling to clambering up stairways. The sensor will register elevation gained and flights climbed during physical activity.
Despite the new cellular capabilities and new hardware, Apple claims to have maintained good battery life, promising up to 18 hours with mixed telecom uses, although a 1-hour phone call may drain it entirely. We'll see how it performs in the real world, particularly in areas where cellular service is spotty, since searching for connectivity is notoriously power-draining.
The only non-obvious difference we've found between the cellular and GPS-only models is that the cellular models have 16 GB of storage, while the GPS-only models have only 8 GB.
Bands and Cases and Models, Oh My! — Although Apple has lately focused the Apple Watch on fitness rather than fashion, the company continues to tweak its look. There's a new ceramic gray finish in the $1299 Apple Watch Edition Series 3, and the stainless steel Apple Watch Hermès Series 3 ranges from $1149 to $1399.
For the rest of us, Apple has introduced a variety of new bands, and there are new colors for the Apple Watch Nike+ Series 3. It's all quite dizzying.
That said, you can buy an Apple Watch Series 3 without cellular capabilities for $329, or one that has them for $399. The Apple Watch Series 2 is gone, but the Series 1 remains in the lineup for $249. It has a slower processor, dimmer screen, and no standalone GPS capabilities. You can place an order for a new Series 3 now, and it becomes generally available on 22 September 2017.
Overall, the Apple Watch Series 3 looks to be a solid upgrade in both the cellular and non-cellular models. We can imagine someone upgrading from a Series 1 or Series 2 to the cellular Series 3, but the other Series 3 changes don't seem significant enough to warrant replacing an older Apple Watch. For new buyers, though, the Series 3 offers compelling enhancements over the Series 1, which stays in the lineup as a low-cost option.
One final interesting fact: Apple claims that the Apple Watch is now the number one watch in the world, selling more than all products from Rolex, which posted revenues of $4.7 billion in 2016. Apple Watch revenues may not match up to those of the iPhone in Apple's product mix, but it's clearly doing well enough.
Comments About Apple Watch Series 3 Goes Cellular
I will be upgrading from Series 1 to non-cellular series 3. I really want the increased brightness, and can't really envision needing a cellular connection. I guess I was expecting the Series 2 to continue as the discounted watch. But the situation as it is, Series 3 with no cellular.
Sue Boettcher
Do you know whether the non cellular watches, 3 or 1, will be able to accept/send SMS messages? If a non-cellular watch is in range of its phone, I don't see why it should be able to do everything the phone actually. The fact that AT&T said that SMS messaging would not be included makes me think that that's always an issue with the cellular watches. Am I right? This could be a dealbreaker.
Sorry, Siri mangled that one. What I meant to say is that if a phone is within reach of its watch I don't see why the watch can't do SMS. The fact that AT&T mentioned it makes me think it is only an issue with the Cellular watches.
Adam Engst
If the Apple Watch is near its companion iPhone, there's no issue with SMS text messages because the phone is doing all the work. What's not clear, based on AT&T's comment, is if a cellular-capable Series 3 that's NOT in range of its iPhone can get SMS text messages. The implication is that SMS won't work in that situation.
It's an odd situation. Since phone calls work, I'd assume that the Series 3 watch is doing standard cellular stuff. But since SMS text messages use the control channel that's part of phone calls, if they don't work, that would imply that the phone system is NOT standard, but is instead basically Voice over IP. VoIP would be consistent with SMS not working, since iMessage would work fine in that situation.

Indian hackers who claimed to be part of Anonymous.
The hackers claimed they brought down 16 websites belonging to IIPM.
The list of blocked URLs included a public notice of July 2012 issued by the University Grants Commission saying, "IIPM is not a university within the meaning of section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956".
Now question is Do you think UGC is truthful or IIPM?
Do you trust UGC or IIPM?
TOI reported that the attack on www.iipm.in left www.iipm.edu crippled as this website internally links to the content hosted on www.iipm.in. After the attack, the website was offline for nearly nine hours.
I trust no one. Neither UGC or IIPM.
Neither is above law. Neither of them can claim correct legal policies followed.

A collection of our favorite films, documentaries, & short videos all in one place—with new additions every month.
IN THE BLOOD
Up to the turn of the century, it was not a board of directors or a bureaucratic system that made the logging camp and industry successful—it was the skills, integrity, and personality of individuals. In The Blood illustrates and celebrates these individuals, their character, and history. The audience is taken into his rugged environment, into the camp, onto the haul roads, landings and yards, rivers and lakes. In The Blood creates a vivid world and brings the lumberman's 19th century reality to life.

PURCHASE THE DOCUMENTARY
In 1892, legendary Army Capt. Joseph Blocker reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief and his family back to their tribal land. Embarking on a harrowing and perilous journey from Fort Berringer, New Mexico, to the grasslands of Montana, they soon encounter a young widow whose family was killed on the plains. The travelers must now band together to survive a punishing landscape that's crawling with hostile Comanches and vicious outliers.
THE GROUND BETWEEN US
A fascinating look at the issues surrounding our public lands today. The Ground Between Us presents these public lands debates in the context of the day-to-day realities of three families who hold vastly different connections to and perspectives on public lands.

MINNESOTA BOUND: BOUNDARY WATERS MINE SPECIAL
Minnesota Bound is a television series exploring the great outdoors and activities in the "land of 10,000 lakes". In this special episode, they explore the debate surrounding a proposed copper mining operation in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
This fascinating documentary explores the almost otherworldly characteristics of mushrooms and fungi. The most mind-blowing takeaway from the film is the underground network of fungi beneath the forest floor, which trees use to communicate with one another and share resources. Through this fungal network deep in the soil, a view emerges of forests as one single living being rather than a group of disconnected individual trees.
ODE TO DESOLATION
This film shares the story of Jim Henterly, a naturalist, illustrator, and fire lookout as he contemplates the dwindling days of Fire Lookouts in North America.
When the world feels more polarized than ever, Purple Mountains examines our most significant common denominator—the outdoors. Worth a watch for anyone searching for common ground.
The fight for Public Lands in our country can feel confusing and overwhelming at times—this film brings clarity and focuses on the issues that impact us all.

Q: Exception not being caught by its catch block, then the method throws an exception of another kind I'm experiencing some strange behavior but maybe I just don't completely understand how exception-handling works. I have the following piece of code:
public String encrypt(String msg, SecretKeySpec key) throws RuntimeException {

    try {

        System.out.println("1");
        cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
        System.out.println("2");

        ...

    } catch (InvalidKeyException e) {
        System.out.println("3");
        throw new RuntimeException("invalid key");
    }

}

Upon invoking, the method throws a RuntimeException and the console output is: 1
(The cipher object is an attribute of the class the method is part of and was successfully created using Cipher.getInstance("AES", "BC"). Here is the documentation of the init method where the program fails.)

A: The symptoms tell us that init is throwing a RuntimeException. Since that isn't an InvalidKeyException, your catch handler doesn't catch it.
Remember that although init is only documented to throw InvalidKeyException, it can also throw any RuntimeException it likes. RuntimeException doesn't have to be declared (or caught); it's an unchecked exception, that's its purpose.
Although you don't have to catch them, you can catch them if you want. Normally that's not good practice (it's normally a RuntimeException for a good reason), but in limited cases catching it can be appropriate.

:loudspeaker: Let's build together by not reinventing the wheel but assembling the wheels to reinvent a new :rocket:
### :beginner: Version 1.0.0
### :feet: Installation
:small_blue_diamond: First install composer globally(if you don't have it) by running the following commands
For Ubuntu
```sh
 curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php && sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
```
For Cent OS
```sh
 curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php && chmod +x composer.phar && sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
```
:small_blue_diamond: Then install Elham by the following command(for latest stable releases)
```sh
 composer create-project chandan07cse/elham YOUR_PROJECT_NAME
```
:small_blue_diamond: But if you want Elham from its master branch, then you could certainly type it
```sh
 composer create-project chandan07cse/elham=dev-master YOUR_PROJECT_NAME
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now cd into your_project_name/public & run by the php command
```sh
 cd YOUR_PROJECT_NAME/public
 php -S localhost:8000
```
:small_blue_diamond: Note : For the rest of the project we'll run each & every command from the project directory. For that
```sh
 cd ../
```
# :package: Dependencies
:small_blue_diamond: To check the list of dependencies Elham relies, run the command
```sh
 composer info
```
# :flashlight: Visual Dependencies
- To check the visual dependencies, please go to the link [Visual Dependecies](https://www.versioneye.com/php/chandan07cse:elham/1.0.0/visual_dependencies)

# :musical_keyboard: Elham Command Alias
:small_blue_diamond: Let's run the below command to run elham command if you are in Linux
```sh
 echo "alias elham='./elham'" >> ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases
```
:small_blue_diamond: But if you are in windows machine add the executibles in your path. If you are using [Laragon](https://laragon.org) then it can be
```sh
 C:\laragon\www\project_name\vendor\bin\;C:\laragon\www\project_name\;
```

:small_blue_diamond: Now you can run elham command through out your project. To check run from the terminal if you are in linux enviornment
```sh
 elham
```
:small_blue_diamond: But if you are in windows, then
```sh
 php elham
```
# :violin: Build Controller Through CLI
:small_blue_diamond: Elham provides you the build:controller command
```sh
 elham build:controller YourController
```
:small_blue_diamond: Check it by finding it in app/Controller directory of your project.

:small_blue_diamond: By default elham generates resourceful controller. But if you want you can always make a plain controller by running
```sh
 elham build:controller YourController plain
```
# :guitar: Build Model Through CLI
:small_blue_diamond: Elham also provides you build:model command
```sh
 elham build:model YourModel
```
:small_blue_diamond: It'll create a model with necessary properties & methods based on your database table.
# :saxophone: Build Form Through CLI
:small_blue_diamond: Elham ships with build:form command
```sh
 elham build:form YourForm
```
:small_blue_diamond: A dummy blade form will be generated inside app/Views/_partials directory.

# :musical_score: Build Validator Through CLI
:small_blue_diamond: Elham also provides you build:validator command
```sh
 elham build:validator YourValidator
```
:small_blue_diamond: A validation class will be generated inside app/Validation directory.

# :microphone: Help keyword for CLI generators
:small_blue_diamond: Now if you need any help just type
```sh
 elham help build:keyword
```
:small_blue_diamond: All the commands check the existing ones as well for simplicity.

# :necktie: :dress: Elham Templating Engines
:small_blue_diamond: Elham ships with Blade and Plain view for rendering its View. But if you want you can use twig too. For that you
will need to install [TWIG](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) by the following command
```sh
 composer require twig/twig
```

# :palm_tree: :seedling: Elham Migrations & Seeding
:small_blue_diamond: As Elham used [Phinx](https://phinx.org/) for migrations & seeding, so to use phinx command just run from the terminal
```sh
 echo "alias phinx='./phinx'" >> ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now you'll be able to run phinx command. To make sure phinx running correctly, run in terminal
```sh
 phinx
```
:small_blue_diamond: You'll get the list of [Phinx](https://phinx.org/) command. To use phinx, first initialize it by the following command
```sh
 phinx init
```
:small_blue_diamond: A phinx.yml file will be generated. You need to customize it. Sample customization for development listed below
```sh
 environments:
 default_database: development
 development:
          adapter: sqlite
          host: localhost
          name: db/database.sqlite
          user: root
          pass: ''
          port: 3306
          charset: utf8
```
:small_blue_diamond: Phinx uses :camel: CamelCase for its functioning & it'll store the migrations & seeding inside db/migration & db/seeds directory respectively.
So if you wanna create a migration for Students table, just run in terminal
```sh
 phinx create Students
```
:small_blue_diamond: A new unique migration for Students will be generated inside db/migrations directory of Elham like below
```sh
 use Phinx\Migration\AbstractMigration;
 class Students extends AbstractMigration
  {
       public function change()
       {

       }
   }
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now we not gonna use the change method for the migration. Beside we'll create two methods up() & down() for our migration & rollback. So for that
we gonna code a bit something like below. Say we've our student table consisting with roll & name.
```sh
 use Phinx\Migration\AbstractMigration;
 class Students extends AbstractMigration
  {
       public function up()
       {
            $students = $this->table('students');
            $students->addColumn('name','string',['length'=>100])
                     ->addColumn('roll','string')
                     ->create();
       }
       public function down()
       {
           $this->dropTable('students');
       }

   }
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now to migrate, run from terminal
```sh
   phinx migrate
```
:small_blue_diamond: It'll affect our default db/databse.sqlite hopefully. Now to rollback, just run from terminal
```sh
 phinx rollback
```
:small_blue_diamond: To explore more about Phinx, please read the :link:[documentation](http://docs.phinx.org/en/latest/).

:small_blue_diamond: Now for seeding, we just need to create the seeder class from the cli. Say, we need to create a UserSeeder to seed some datumn into users table. To create the UserSeeder class
```sh
 phinx seed:create UserSeeder
```
:small_blue_diamond: We'll get the UserSeeder class inside db/seeds directory. Inside there, we'll get
```sh
 <?php
 use Phinx\Seed\AbstractSeed;
 class UserSeeder extends AbstractSeed
 {
    public function run()
    {

    }
 }
```
:small_blue_diamond: Actually we can seed in :v: ways.

   :one: Manual Seeding

   :two: Faker Seeding

:small_blue_diamond: For Manual Seeding we can write something like this in UserSeeder class
```sh
 <?php
 use Phinx\Seed\AbstractSeed;
 class UserSeeder extends AbstractSeed
 {
    public function run()
    {
      $data = array(
          array(
              'username'    => 'chandan07cse',
              'password' => md5('me'),
              'email' => 'freak.arian@gmail.com',
              'image' => 'public/images/chandan07cse.jpg',
              'activation_code' => md5(rand(0,1000)),
              'active' => 1
          ),
          array(
              'username'    => 'mamun10pgd',
              'password' => md5('mamun10pgd@!'),
              'email' => 'rajmamunet@gmail.com',
              'image' => 'public/images/mamun10pgd.jpg',
              'activation_code' => md5(rand(0,1000)),
              'active' => 0
          )
      );

       $this->insert('users', $data);
    }
 }
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now run from terminal
```sh
phinx seed:run
```
:small_blue_diamond: If you wanna run a specific class then run
```sh
phinx seed:run -s UserSeeder
```
:small_blue_diamond: For faker seeding, we can write something like this in UserSeeder class
```sh
<?php
use Phinx\Seed\AbstractSeed;
class UserSeeder extends AbstractSeed
{
   public function run()
   {
     $faker = Faker\Factory::create();
     $data = [];
     for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) {
         $data[] = [

             'username'      => $faker->userName,
             'password'      => md5($faker->password),
             'email'      => $faker->email,
             'image'      => $faker->image($dir = 'public/images',$width = 640, $height = 480),
             'activation_code'=> $faker->randomElement(),
             'active'      => $faker->boolean

         ];
     }

     $this->insert('users', $data);

    }
}
```

# :soccer::basketball::football::baseball::tennis: Elham Playground
:small_blue_diamond: Elham also uses [Psyshell](http://psysh.org/) for tinkering with its functionalities, so to use psysh command just run from the terminal
```sh
 echo "alias psysh='./psysh'" >> ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now if you wanna tinkering with psyshell just run in terminal
```sh
 psysh
```
:small_blue_diamond: You'll be into the Psyshell now. If you wanna start toying around then first initialize the proper environment. To init the environment, run in terminal
```sh
 $environment = new Dotenv\Dotenv(__DIR__);
 $environment->load();
```
:small_blue_diamond: To init the database with eloquent, run in terminal
```sh
 $db = new config\Database;
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now if you wanna query through Eloquent/Query Builder, create an instance of the Capsule
```sh
 $db->eloquent();
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now if you wanna play with User model, create an object of User by running in terminal
```sh
 $user = new Elham\Model\User;
```
:small_blue_diamond: To get all data from User model, just run in terminal
```sh
 $user->all()->toArray();
```
:small_blue_diamond: And if you wanna query through PDO, create an instance of the PDO
```sh
 $pdo = $db->pdo();
```
:small_blue_diamond: If you wanna insert some data into users table using pdo, do the following

```sh

  $pdo->execute([':id'=>null,':username'=>'moin07cse',':password'=>'hjkkjhkjjk',':image'=>'moin.png',':activation_code'=>'dfsf',':active'=>0]);
  $pdo->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
```

:small_blue_diamond: You can run every bit of eloquent & pdo queries along with other functionalities through [Psyshell](http://psysh.org/).

# :calling: Elham API Call
:small_blue_diamond: Elham uses [Unirest](http://unirest.io/php.html) libraries for its api calling. Its pretty easy to call an api using the Elham's api method like below
```sh
        $uri = 'http://mockbin.com/request';
        $content_type = 'application/json';
        $request_parameter = ['foo' => 'hello', 'bar' => 'world'];
        $request_type = 'post';
        $api_response = $this->api($uri,$content_type,$request_parameter,$request_type);
```
# :mag: Elham Vulnerability Scan
:small_blue_diamond: To check any vulnerable package issue in Elham, just run the following command
```sh
 elham check:vulnerability
```

# :house_with_garden: Elham Frontend Housekeeping
:small_blue_diamond: Elham uses [Gulp](http://gulpjs.com/) for basic front-end housekeeping of tasks like minifying css,js, autoprefixing of css and so on & so forth. To use gulp, first install node js by the following command
```sh
 sudo apt-get install npm
```
:small_blue_diamond: After that we need to install gulp globaly by the following command in ubuntu.
```sh
 sudo npm install -g gulp
```
:small_blue_diamond: But if you are in windows then in [Laragon](https://laragon.org) terminal type
```sh
  npm install -g gulp
```
:small_blue_diamond: As pacakge.json already ships with Elham. So you don't have to create it. To install gulp just run the following command
```sh
 sudo npm install gulp --save-dev
```
:small_blue_diamond: But if you are in windows, then run
```sh
 npm install gulp --save-dev
```
:small_blue_diamond: The way Gulp work is - Everything is split into various plugins. So each plugin does one job & one job only. And that way we can pipe the output of one function to another. So we can say - Let's autoprefix this file & then minify it & then output it some file & then finally provide some sort of notifications. All of that stuff is really easy with Gulp.

:small_blue_diamond: So if we want to use plugins, we need to install some.
Lets install, just to get started, How about minifying our css
We can do that by running into ubuntu terminal
```sh
 sudo npm install gulp-clean-css --save-dev
```
:small_blue_diamond: For windows run
```sh
 npm install gulp-clean-css --save-dev
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now if you wanna minifying the js then in ubuntu terminal
```sh
sudo npm install gulp-jsmin --save-dev
```
:small_blue_diamond: But if you are in windows then run in [Laragon](https://laragon.org) terminal
```sh
 npm install gulp-jsmin --save-dev
```
:small_blue_diamond: To use gulp, run from terminal
```sh
 gulp
```
# :strawberry: Elham Zero Second Deployment
:small_blue_diamond: Elham proudly compatibles with [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/). So you can deploy it less than a second.
For that you'll have to install node & nodejs-legacy by the following command
```sh
 sudo apt-get install node
 sudo apt install nodejs-legacy
```
:small_blue_diamond: After that we gonna install ngrok through (npm)node package manager globally
```sh
 sudo npm install ngrok -g
```
:small_blue_diamond: Now we gonna deploy our project by just running the following command
```sh
 ngrok http 8000
```
:small_blue_diamond: Make sure you are running your project through port 8000. If you are using other port, then use
 that port to ngrok

# :grapes: Elham Production Deployment
:small_blue_diamond: Don't worry it also supports any repo(Github,Gitlab,Bitbucket....) and any CI (Jenkins) and any server(Linux Distro. preferred) in deployment.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) are taking the world by storm. While there will always be controversy in any rapidly-expanding field, some advances fueled by AI/ML are undeniable. The two terms are closely linked. For our purposes, we'll consider them both to be examples of software that exhibits intelligent behavior without having to be explicitly programmed. Some estimates say that within 40 years, the majority of jobs will have some kind of AI support, if not completely replaced by intelligent software agents. In some fields – radiology, board games like chess and Go, and arguably even driving – intelligent agents already perform better than the best humans and will rapidly get better. Whether you're an AI enthusiast or sceptic, it seems clear that the time to start preparing for the future of AI is now.
Chances are that at least one of these questions has occurred to you: Is it worth my time to track advances in AI? Could any of them apply to my business? Is it cost-effective to start small and grow my AI capabilities over time? How much should I invest in AI now and in the near term? Trexin can help you devise a systematic framework to make sense of the questions and answers around AI.
One immediate benefit of Machine Learning is that it can process amounts of data too large for a single person to reasonably analyze. Closely tied with the idea of Big Data is taking advantage of the families of ML algorithms to find patterns in your own data that had been hidden. Whether your business problem or question revolves around regression problems like risk scoring or risk adjustment in healthcare, classification problems like identifying fraud in financial data, or clustering problems like finding groups of people who exhibit similar online behavior in digital/web analytics or CPG, Trexin can help you thoughtfully explore your data to drive insights and value.

Robbie Williams' Wife & Children: Facts to Know about His Family
By: Sarah Dos Santos - Published: September 30, 2016 at 4:06 pm
Brandon Voight / Splash News
Robbie Williams' family keeps him grounded, as he told BBC Friday, September 30. He said he is not likely to "fall off the rails" again after his struggle with depression and substance abuse in his '30s. He believes having a family "focuses the mind." Williams told Chris Evans' Radio 2 Breakfast Show that before his wife and children, his career was just a job, "It was trying to fill in all the blanks that were in the soul. And that didn't make sense. I got to the top of the mountain and it was like, 'Ow, I'm still in pain'." Now he believes his life makes sense. He said, "My wife depends on me, my kids depend on me." Clearly, Robbie Williams' wife, and Robbie Williams' children are his foundation. For more information on Robbie Williams' son, daughter and wife, here's the scoop.
He's Married to an Actress
Known for her role on the NBC soap opera, Days of Our Lives, Robbie Williams' wife is Ayda Field Williams, a Turkish-American film and television actress. At 37 years old, she has also performed in several comedy roles. Earlier this week, Williams expressed how proud he is of his wife's successful career, after she took a break to help him during his travels. He told The Sun,
"The biggest reason I fell in love with Ayda is because of her personality. I'm incredibly proud of her and I'm not only in love with her but I really like her. And I want her to be out there, and I want people to be experiencing what I'm experiencing, because it's unique what she's got. I'm like a proud parent, even with the wife. I'm like, 'Go out there and shine, my love.'"
Behind every man…
A post shared by Robbie Williams (@robbiewilliams) on Jun 3, 2016 at 2:52am PDT
He's Good with Kids
In an interview with Hello Magazine in early March 2016, Field shared, "He's really good with the kids—he changes nappies, he goes to 'mummy and me' with me, he does really good daddy stuff." Field loves her husband's singing but their daughter, Teddy [Theodora Rose], doesn't appreciate it as much. Field told Hello, "[Robbie] does Wheels On the Bus but it was funny though—Teddy said to him yesterday, she said 'Papa if you sing again, I'm going to put you in time out.'" Adorable!
Williams, 42, recently began to go to the supermarket! His wife explained, "He is like a 15-year-old boy—he's just frozen in 'Take That' time. He literally had no idea."
He Live-Tweeted His Son's Birth
On the birth of his second child, son Charlton Valentine, Williams struck controversy when he shared live video clips on Twitter. Williams' son, Charlton Valentine, was born October 28, 2014, and the ex-Take That star live Tweeted his wife's labour for hours. In the short clip, Robby expressed his affection, "Erm, so, he's here. It's ten past three on what day? Monday? And we've been up way over 24 hours. I've never been more in love and I've never been more proud of my wife, she's been absolutely astonishing."
Robbie Williams shared his new music video, "Party Like a Russian," on September 30, which you can check out on his Facebook page. Williams' new album, Heavy Entertainment Show will be released on November 4, 2016. Robbie Williams' songs will make Take That fans very nostalgic—but based on his new video, Williams has a lot more in store! Robbie Williams' net worth is a whopping $200 million, and if his new album is a success, that number is just going to keep climbing!

Long Grand Slam season wraps up at US Open
NEW YORK - The Associated Press
Serena Williams serves to Angelique Kerber of Germany during the Western & Southern Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Ohio on Aug 17. AFP photo
Champion at Wimbledon in both singles and doubles. Winner again at the All England Club in both events, four weeks later at the London Olympics. Nobody would blame Serena Williams if she felt worn down by this year's jam-packed tennis calendar. She doesn't see it that way, though - even with the grind of the U.S. Open looming.
"I look forward to this," Williams said. "It's almost like a launching pad for what I want to do for the rest of the hard-court season."
In a way, yes, yesterday's start of the year's last Grand Slam actually marks something of a new beginning - the kickoff of a six-month stretch on the hard courts that winds down at the 2013 Australian Open.
Call it mental gymnastics, a creative way of looking at things or whatever else might apply. What can't be denied is that in an Olympic year, the U.S. Open - considered the toughest test in tennis even under normal circumstances - is essentially the season's fifth major.
"A lot of them," Jim Courier said, "are running on fumes."
Busy schedule for players
Indeed, many top players have had to double down on their fitness and find new, creative ways of organizing their schedules to get ready for what they hope will be a two-week grind in the fishbowl that is Flushing Meadows.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic barely took any time off following his fourth-place finish at the Olympics. He traveled to Toronto for a hard-court tuneup, played six matches and won the tournament.
Then, he flew to Cincinnati, played six more matches but lost to Roger Federer in the final. No shame there, though that loss to Federer did include an uncharacteristic 6-0 whitewashing in the first set. "Mentally, I wasn't there, wasn't fresh," Djokovic said.
No big deal in Cincinnati. But a half-hour mental lapse in New York could mean the end of Djokovic's quest to win what has, essentially, shaped up as the tiebreaker major for 2012.
Second-seeded Djokovic won the Australian Open. Rafael Nadal won the French Open. Top-seeded Federer won Wimbledon. Just for good measure, third-seeded Andy Murray won the Olympics, meaning the U.S. Open could essentially determine the player of the year in men's tennis.
Some combination of Nadal - absent due to a knee injury - and the other three have occupied every spot in the finals of the past eight Grand Slam tournaments.
Though the women's game has been more in flux than the men's of late - seven different winners over the past seven Grand Slams - the math is essentially the same in 2012: Three of the top four women - Victoria Azarenka (Australia), Maria Sharapova (France) and Williams (Wimbledon) - have major titles this year and all need this one to break the tie.
Where things differ is in the way Williams has been playing of late. She lost a total of 17 games over six matches in the Olympics, punctuating it with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Sharapova in the final .
Sharapova had two hard-court tune-up tournaments on her schedule, but pulled out of both with a stomach virus.
"I think it was a sign my body just needed to slow down," she said. "I had a hectic summer. So, I decided to shut it down until here, because we still have a lot to play towards the end of the year."
Kim Clijsters, on the other hand, doesn't have to save any energy for down the road. Win or lose, she says the U.S. Open will be it for her.
Clijsters has won her past 21 matches at Flushing Meadows. In 2005, she won the tournament. She didn't return again until 2009, after she had gotten married and had a daughter, Jada. With virtually no tournament play under her belt in 2009, Clijsters won seven matches to become the first unseeded woman to capture the U.S. Open.
Because of how busy 2012 has been, she'll do the same as Sharapova - come into the U.S. Open not having played a competitive match since the Olympics.
Is this any way to prepare for her farewell?
"I remember 2009, I didn't have many matches, either," Clijsters said. "So I don't worry about that."
Aussıe open confident of no boycott
SYDNEY – Agence France-Presse
Tennis Australia said yesterday it was confident players would not boycott the Australian Open over a prize money disagreement, but it was taking the threat seriously.
The Sunday Times of London reported players on the ATP Tour, which runs the men's game, were considering a boycott of January's tournament in a bid to gain a higher percentage of Grand Slam event revenues for themselves.Australian Open director Craig Tiley said he did not view the reported threats to the opening Grand Slam of the season with alarm.
"We are working on a compensation plan for the 2013 event and are keen to ensure it addresses a lot of the issues players have been raising with us in our ongoing discussions," he said in a statement.
At issue is the pay of lower-ranked players who often exit in the first round after making the long journey Down Under. While this year they pocketed $21,600 for a first round defeat at the Australian Open, some players struggle to make ends meet during the year, as they pay for much of their own expenses and travel.

Problematic substance use is one of the most critical public health issues, which needs a broad national attempt, strong collaboration, and comprehensive research to identify effective tackling solutions that are feasible, comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based (HHS, 2016).
Although tackling the substance use issue requires interventions across different areas of prevention, treatment, and harm reduction, evidence-based prevention interventions playing an essential role not only in reducing substance use, also addressing a wide range of potential problems beyond that, specifically among youths (National Report, 2016). It is evident that the youth population (defined in this study as 12-18- years old) is one of the at-risk populations, which needs a special focus and specific prevention strategies. Early experience with substance use not only affects youth population's current health and well-being, also has several negative outcomes on their future development and life and on the community as a whole (CCSA (Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse), 2007).
This study focuses on the potential preventive intervention, which may be an opportunity to prevent, reduce, or delay problematic substance use among youths. This paper describes the development of a prevention toolkit model, which is based on the Risk & Resiliency theory and aims to reduce risk-taking behavior (focused on Substance use) in the youth population by enhancing their awareness and resilience. Resiliency is an important aspect of mental well-being, which enables young people to manage their lives well and positively, in spite of any trauma or adversity that they have experienced. The development of resilience is associated with not only the prevention of problematic substance use, also other problematic behaviors that put young people at risk, such as: bullying, violence, mental health problems, early sexual activity, depression and suicide. Investing in the resilience is seen as a powerful promoting step, which is not only a powerful skill to overcome different types of adversities, also has a huge impact on youth's promoting academic success, better mental and physical health, and more socially responsible lifestyles (Rudzinski, McDonough, & et al., 2017).

There is high public interest in the topic of "offshores" in both Ukraine and the EU. It is of particular importance for Ukraine which is categorized as an "open economy", meaning a high share of exports and imports relative to GDP. In particular, iron and steel production and exports from Ukraine are very significant even by the scale of the global iron and steel markets.

William Hodges
The Resolution and Adventure, 4 January 1773, taking ice for water, latitude 61 degrees South
Ink and wash on paper; 14 x 22 in. (35.6 x 55.9 cm)
Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales
Captain James Cook invited the artist William Hodges to join his second voyage of discovery in search of Antarctica in 1772. This expedition, the first to cross the Antarctic Circle, brought back more images related to the anthropology, geography, botany, and zoology of Oceania than all prior navigations combined.
In one of the first depictions of an iceberg drawn from nature, Hodges breathed new life into the rigid lines of the topographic landscape tradition. Exploiting the fluidity of the watercolor medium, he interprets the movement of Antarctic light and captures nature's mood: the calm before a storm and the perfect weather to perform tasks essential for survival. Cook described the artist's subject in his journal:
[They] hoisted out three boats; and in about five or six hours, took up as much ice as yielded fifteen tons of good fresh water… and the water which the ice yielded was perfectly sweet and well-tasted… the most expeditious way of watering I ever met.

Dorico Pro supports the use of videos within the program as well as the associated notations, such as markers and timecodes, and allows you to find appropriate tempos based on where important markers occur.
Project window in Setup mode
The project window in Setup mode contains panels with all the tools and functions that allow you to add players and instruments as well as to create layouts and flows for your project.
Players, layouts, and flows
In Dorico Pro, players, layouts, and flows are all connected to each other. Because they exist in the project rather than in a single score, you can, for example, have players and flows saved in the project without showing them in the full score.
In Dorico Pro, a player can represent an individual musician or multiple musicians in the same section. Players hold instruments, so you must add at least one player to your project before you can add instruments.
Ensembles are sets of multiple players that are commonly used together, such as a double woodwind section that contains two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, and two bassoons. Dorico Pro provides predefined ensembles, but you can also build custom ensembles.
In Dorico Pro, an instrument is an individual musical instrument, such as a piano, a flute, or a violin. Human voices, such as soprano or tenor, are also considered instruments.
Player groups
A player group represents a collection of musicians that are considered together, such as one choir in a work for double choir or an off-stage ensemble. Player groups can have their own brackets, depending on the bracket grouping set for each layout.
Flows are separate spans of music that are completely independent in musical content, meaning they can contain completely different players from each other and have different time signatures and key signatures. A single project can contain any number of flows.
Layouts combine musical content, as represented by flows and players, with rules for page formatting and music engraving, and allow you to produce paginated music notation that can be printed or exported in various formats. For example, part layouts typically only show the music for one player, whereas full score layouts show the music of all players in the project.
Player, layout, and instrument names
In Dorico Pro, you can use three different names to refer to the same player in different contexts. This allows you to show relevant information in different places, such as in staff labels and at the top of part layouts.
Flow names and flow titles
Whenever you add a flow to a project, the default name of a flow is Flow plus an incremental number. In Dorico Pro, flows have both a flow name and a flow title, which are the same by default but can be different if, for example, you want to organize sketch versions of flows without affecting their displayed titles in the music.
Supported video formats
Dorico Pro uses the same video engine that was introduced in Cubase and Nuendo in 2017. It supports the most commonly-used video formats.
Video Properties dialog
The Video Properties dialog allows you to change video-related settings, including their frame rate and start position.
Adding videos
You can add a video to each flow in your project. You can also follow these steps to reload videos previously added to the project that Dorico Pro can no longer locate.
Changing the start position of videos
You can change both the rhythmic position in the music at which videos start, and the position in the video that coincides with that rhythmic position; for example, if you want the fifth second of a video to sync with the start of the third bar of music.
Hiding/Showing the Video window
You can hide and show the Video window at any time and in any mode; for example, if you do not want it in view when working on the music in the music area.
Changing the size of the Video window
You can change the size of the Video window at any time.
Removing videos
You can remove videos from each flow independently.
Changing the volume of video audio
Any audio that is part of a video you have added is played back in sync with the music in the project. You can change the video volume manually.
Frame rates
The frame rate of a video is the number of still images that are used per unit of time in order to create the impression of a moving image, commonly measured in frames per second, or fps .
Videos are a fast sequence of images that create the impression of a moving image. They can be any length, from only a few seconds up to several hours for feature-length films.

Q: Embedded Views in Drupal I'm trying to straighten out the front page of my drupal-based website.  I want to display a static bit of content at the top (no link the way a sticky node would be) and then a list of the most recent posts underneath.
Doing a view of all content with the 'static' node stick is pretty close, although I don't want it to summarize the top node and I don't want the title linked.
Embedding a view within the home node is also very close, although it indents all the content and puts a double bottom line at the bottom (one for the bottom of the view, one for the bottom of the page) and the RSS icon shows up at the bottom of the view instead of the bottom/top of the page the way it would if it was a view page.

A: When you set up the view you should have the option to change the output of the field you are displaying.
As for the double bottom line and other style issues, check your css it may be inheriting something from there. If it's not then you can always style it with css as each view generates a unique id.

A: It is probable that there is a better way to do this with views, but the following should work...
Depending on the theme you are using you may have a region in about the right place (Or you could create one).
Then you could create a block with the static content in and set it to only display on the homepage. You could use the view of all content after this.

A: Check node queue module http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue

Richie Porte to ride Herald Sun Tour for first time since 2011
The Australian will be making his return after an eight-year absence

Richie Porte at the 2018 Tour de Suisse (Sunada)
Richie Porte
Australian Grand Tour hopeful Richie Porte is due to ride the 2019 Herald Sun Tour for the first time in eight years.
Porte will take part in the stage race down under for the first time since 2011 in Trek-Segafredo kit.
The 34-year-old moves to Trek from BMC, which is undergoing a radical change and becoming CCC Team from next year.
Porte told the Herald Sun: "I've wanted to do it for years, but it just never really fit or I was riding for teams that weren't going to do it, but next year with Trek it just worked."
>>> Quick-Step Floors' Zdenek Stybar makes cyclocross return during off-season
The Tasmanian, who left Team Sky in 2015 to chase his own general classification ambitions, is expected to open his season at the Tour Down Under in January, where he has racked up six previous stage wins.
He will then race the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race before taking to the line of the 66th edition of the Herald Sun Tour, which runs from January 30 to February 3.
Porte has been chasing Grand Tour victory in recent years, but has been hindered by back luck.
>>> Tour Down Under 2019 route: Willunga Hill remains the pivotal stage amongst a host of sprints
He finished fifth in the 2016 Tour de France, but has not finished the last two editions of the race, crashing on stage nine of both the 2017 and 2018 editions.
Other big name riders have been firming up their 2019 plan, including Chris Froome (Team Sky), Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data).
Froome is due to open his season with the Tour Colombia in February, while sprinters Cavendish and Sagan will go head-to-head at the Vuelta a San Juan in Argentina in January.


As the new year gets underway, why not make a goal to read more about the essential economic principles. While there are many aspects of free market capitalism that are integral to understanding the field, these are a few concepts that will be most helpful to know as you continue to study free market economics.
Subjective Value: Only individuals can determine the value of good or service.
Sunk cost fallacy: The misconception that one must continue an endeavor because of the time and resources already invested.
Spontaneous order: The belief that when individuals are left to their own devices without a central authority the will create organic order out of chaos without any coordinated effort.
Knowledge problem: It is impossible for one person or group to have enough knowledge to plan entire economies. This can never be possible since the information necessary for this to occur is decentralized among individuals.
Broken window fallacy: Is the misconception that destruction stimulates the economy.


1. Help your patrol, troop, or camp unit plan and go on two all-day hikes. Plan where to go, what to wear and take. Get necessary permissions.
2. Know how to walk and rest correctly, how to walk in a group on street, highway, or country road.
3. Use good outdoor manners: On the way. At hike site. On trails. Do an outdoor good turn on each hike.
4. Plan and carry your lunch for one hike and cook part of it yourself. On the other hike cook something for a group.
5. Help make and use: Fireplace. Woodpile. Fire.
6. Dress for expected weather and activities. Have rope, eating utensils, and bandana.
7. Learn one new campcraft skill: How to tie knots, handle a knife, use a compass, or lay and follow a trail.
8. Be able to teach a game to play on the way. Know a hiking song.
9. Help keep troop first aid kit ready to use. Know what to do if you cut or burn yourself.
10. Watch a sunset, look wide around a hilltop, or discover something interesting in nature. Find a poem or story about the out-of-doors or about the way it makes you feel to share with your patrol.
11. After each hike, talk over the hike and what you need to learn or practice before your next outing.
Purpose: To be able to plan and go on an all-day hike.
According to the Solo School of Wilderness Medicine, I'm officially certified in wilderness first aid, which, in theory, means I'm qualified, for the next two years, to treat people injured in the backcountry. But I have to say that in practical terms I think all it means is that I now have this nifty card to put in my wallet and take out at parties when I run out of things to talk about.
The two-day course covered such a vast amount of material, it was hard enough just to follow along let alone commit all of it to memory. The plethora of emergency first aid was taught through a combination of classroom lectures and hands-on experience in the field, where we took turns portraying injured hikers and their rescuers, like an odd, medical version of charades.
When it was my turn at patient, I impersonated a clumsy mountaineer who'd slipped on a loose rock and sprained a wrist while trying to break my fall. Ultimately, playing patient was the most illuminating part of the course. When the instructor checked my rescuers' handiwork by bending my wrist back and forth, I could feel how easily it moved underneath all the padding they'd packed it in; they'd forgotten to splint the wrapping with a stick or collapsed hiking pole. Additionally, the sling they'd fashioned to immobilize my arm was digging into my neck uncomfortably. I wouldn't have lasted more than a couple of minutes in the contraption. The instructor suggested they could have put some padding under the material to cushion my neck.
At the very least, if I ever have to treat a sprained wrist, I probably won't forget to put on the splint, and I'm also likely to think about neck comfort when tying a sling, so perhaps the course wasn't a complete wash. And if I review my 98-page take-home booklet, I may qualify to carry my card after all.

According to reports, BJP has taken offence to some scenes in 'Mersal' which make fun of the central government's Digital India initiative as well as the recently-implemented Goods and Services Tax (GST). Talking about the issue, BJP leader Tamilisai Soundarrajan said that the Vijay was spreading 'misinformation' about the schemes as he is keen to enter politics.
"I haven't seen the movie, but those who saw the movie say there were factual errors in what was said. The scenes on GST and Digital India have been written in such a way so as to create a wrong impression on the minds of people," she added.
Tamilisai Soundarrajan also said that filmmakers do have artistic freedom, however, spreading false information is not acceptable as it creates a wrong impression in the minds of people.
"Yes, they do. You don't have to praise the schemes we have brought in. But to compare India with another country and that too in an incorrect way, would send the wrong message to people here. This is a political move," she added.
Well, this is a developing situation and it will be worth watching what happens next. On a related note, 'Mersal' is touted to be an action-drama and has been directed by Atlee. Besides Vijay, it also has Kajal Aggarwal, Nithya Menen, and Samantha Akkineni in the lead. SJ Suryah is also part of the cast and plays the antagonist. The film hit screens on Wednesday and opened to a good response at the box office.

June Christy: Something Cool
By Mark Chilla
After making a name for herself fronting Stan Kenton's Orchestra in the late 1940s, June Christy broke out on her own and released one of the quintessential cool jazz vocal albums: Something Cool from 1954. On this show, we'll feature tracks from both the original mono version and the re-issued stereo version of this classic album by the smoky-voiced Christy. Also, we'll listen to some songs by two other artists who were reinventing themselves in the early album era of the mid-1950s: Mel Tormé and Ella Fitzgerald.
Something Cool
June Christy, born Shirley Luster in Springfield, Illinois in 1925, got her start singing in Stan Kenton's orchestra, replacing Anita O'Day after O'Day's departure from the group in 1945. Christy and O'Day are two singers cut from the same cloth: both smoky-voiced mid-westerners, always a little out-of-tune, and incredibly smart and confident behind the microphone. Both also allied themselves with "The Cool School" of singers, a certain laid-back jazz style from the West Coast.
After leaving Kenton's group in the early 1950s, Christy signed to Capitol Records. As a solo artist, she wanted to escape the shadow of Kenton, and her first solo album Something Cool helped to establish her new identity. And as critic Will Friedwald has pointed out, certainly the album's title gave the listener a sense of what to expect.
The songs on the record were not your typical group of standards. Simple songs were eschewed for more dramatic story-telling. The lead-off and title track from the album, written by Billy Barnes, is a gorgeous soliloquy that features Christy at her dramatic peak. For the song "Something Cool," imagine someone like Blanche DuBois spinning a yarn in a barroom late one evening to a male suitor. It also featured a rare aria called "Lonely House," a mysterious and melancholic ballad written by Kurt Weill and Langston Hughes.
Something Cool was released just as the album format was gaining traction. Much like Frank Sinatra's first two albums for Capitol from the same time - Songs for Young Lovers and Swing Easy - the record was released in the 10" format. Capitol soon realized that the 10" record was likely to be eclipsed by the 12" record, so in 1955, Capitol sent Christy back into the studio to cut four more tracks to be added to a longer 12" version of Something Cool. These tracks included the Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer tune "This Time the Dream's On Me," and the Sidney Lippman and Sylvia Dee tune "I'm Thrilled."
The album became a huge hit for Christy in 1954, and by the time the decade was over, she recorded nine more albums. In 1960, six years after the original, Christy and Capitol records gave Something Cool new life yet again by recording it in the new fad of stereo recording. The new stereo mix added a bright new sheen to Pete Rugolo's orchestrations, and it also featured Christy with six years of maturity added to her voice.
Mel Tormé at Bethlehem and Ella Fitzgerald at Verve
Many jazz artists were going through career transformations around the same time, in this era when the long-play album format was becoming bigger in the jazz world. Among those was Mel Tormé, who was the same age as Christy.
Instead of using Capitol records as the place for a big break, as Christy did, Tormé was turning away from Capitol. Eager to shed his "velvet fog" crooner image, Tormé left Capitol in 1955 for Bethlehem Records, an up-and-coming pure jazz label. It was seen as a bit of a risky move at the time, but Tormé brought along some of the finest arrangers with him to Bethlehem, including Andre Previn, Russ Garcia, and Marty Paich. These early Bethlehem records, including It's a Blue World and Mel Tormé Sings Fred Astaire marked a turning point in Tormé's career towards a bonafide jazz singer.
Likewise, Ella Fitzgerald went through a career transformation at the same time, influenced no doubt by the emergence of the long-playing record.
In 1956, Ella Fitzgerald was convinced by producer Norman Granz to leave Decca Records for Verve, his brand new jazz label. In fact, Granz created Verve Records expressly with Fitzgerald in mind: his vision was a Songbook Series, with Fitzgerald performing the songs of writers like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, and the rest of the usual suspects, all on new long-playing 12" records.
Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook from 1956 was a double-disc that featured many of the same West Coast musicians that performed with both Christy and Tormé. The album was not only the first record in her eventual seven-record Songbook Series, it was also the first one ever recorded for the entire Verve label.

The incoming director of the Pentagon's F-35 program says that the US Defense Department's relationship with the contractor responsible for the most expensive weapons project ever is on the verge of fallout.
Speaking at the Air Force Association's annual conference outside of Washington, DC on Monday, Maj. Gen. Christopher Bogdan had harsh words to describe the bond between the Pentagon and Lockheed Martin Corp, the DoD contractor that continues to encounter one roadblock after another as it works towards developing the military's most advanced fighter jet ever.
According to one recent estimate, the F-35 project will cost the United States $1.5 trillion by the time it is all done. To Bogdan, the Pentagon's association with the aircraft manufacturer is making matters abhorrent.
"It is the worst I have ever seen," Bogdan described the relationship to reporters.
Bogdan is expected to formally take over for the F-35 program later this year after the endeavor's current manager formally retires from the Pentagon. And if his statements from Monday are any indication of how he intends on running things, Lockheed need to look towards shaping up if they expect to continue working with unarguably their biggest client — the Department of Defense.
"Here comes a little bit of straight talk," Bogdan told attendees. "Today, I am going to manage this program as if there is no more time and no more money."
The Joint Program Office will "have to fundamentally change the way we do business with Lockheed Martin," said Bogdan. "Lockheed Martin is showing some improvements in producing this aircraft. Is it coming fast enough for us? No."
"Would we expect them to be a little ahead of the learning curve on their fifth lot of aircraft? Yes.
Are costs coming down as fast as we want them to? No."
"We've got to fundamentally change the way we day to day do business with Lockheed Martin," Bogdan said.
Air Force Secretary Michael Donley echoed those sentiments to reporters after Bogdan's address, shooting down the notion that the Pentagon should dump any more spending into a program that has ballooned repeatedly in recent years.
"The department is done with major restructures that involve transferring billions of dollars into the F-35 program from somewhere else in the defense budget. There's no further flexibility or tolerance for that approach," Donley said.
When development first began on the F-35, Bloomberg News reports, Lockheed estimated the cost of the program to come to only $233 billion. It has so far set back the Pentagon $395.7 billion, a 70 percent increase from the initial estimate, and looks to only grow over the course of the project, which is expected to run through 2050. According to Bogdan though, he won't let that happen on his watch.
In an official response sent to AOL Defense reporter Colin Clark, Lockheed says they hear Bogdan's complaints but that they look forward to keeping on task to producer jets for the Pentagon.
"We agree with Maj. Gen. Bogdan that it takes everyone to be fully engaged to be successful. Lockheed Martin will continue to work with the F-35 Joint Program Office team to successfully deliver the F-35's 5th Generation fighter capabilities to the war fighter. We remain committed to continuing our work to solve program challenges and build on the momentum and success we've achieved during the past couple of years" Michael Rein, F-35 spokesman, said in an email statement to Clark.

How the Great Resignation is Impacting the Cybersecurity Landscape & What Organizations Can Do to Protect Themselves
Starting in early 2021, a new term began to sweep the internet. "The Great Resignation," coined by Professor Anthony Klotz of Texas A&M University, represents the economic trend in which employees are voluntarily resigning from their jobs at a significantly higher rate than normal.
"With the hiring freezes of 2020, followed by the widespread implementation of technology demanded by digital transformation, this 2021 surge in Canadian tech jobs has led to unparalleled demand and competition for talent both on and off the market. With the pandemic providing the spark for companies to increase their tech workforce, 80% of businesses are currently in need of IT workers, and 70% of all businesses are having a difficult time finding candidates with the right skillsets."
Tech Salary Guide 2022
How Has The Great Resignation Impacted Technical Jobs?
How is the Great Resignation Affecting Cybersecurity?
Here's why the Best-of-Breed is no longer the best approach
Best-of-Platform is the Future of Cybercrime Protection
What Happens When an IT Person Quits in a Best-of-Breed Security Environment?
What Can Organizations Do to Protect Themselves?
Why Bulletproof?
The average cost of an IT resource is skyrocketing, and the turnover rate is at an all-time high.
Microsoft wrote an excellent article on The Cybersecurity Skills Gap which shares that for every 2 cybersecurity jobs that are filled, 1 sits empty.
As a results of the Great Resignation, recruiting and retaining IT talent just got significantly harder. In an already competitive space this is no small challenge.
Even if you can recruit IT talent, we're approaching an inflection point where the cost of IT resources is so expensive that insourcing is beginning to make less and less sense. In 2021, salaries have risen in the Information and Communication Technology job sector; with cybersecurity roles leading the pack.
"Additionally, no longer limited to major tech hubs, top-paying companies in the U.S. such as Twitter, VMWare and Google are helping drive up salaries by dipping into the Canadian talent pool."
– Tech Salary Guide 2022
And now, we've reached a tipping point. The cost and difficulty of recruiting IT resources, combined with the inevitable gaps in security posture created by a forced adjustment to hybrid work, leaves organizations vulnerable (not to mention, cyber attacks are at an all-time high).
At organizations with a sufficiently staffed security team, the average cost of a data breach was lower than average by 12.8% but only 38% of organizations surveyed for the 2022 IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report felt their security team was sufficiently staffed.
To answer that, we first need to look at how the cybersecurity landscape has evolved and where we are today.
We are currently amid a massive cybersecurity rethink. For the last 30-40 years the best way for organizations to protect themselves was to purchase the "best" of each security point product. However, over time this has led to disconnected security stacks with coverage gaps, unnecessary overlap, and overloading already busy IT departments. This is what we call a "Best-of-Breed" security approach and it also requires customized IT skillsets to maintain.
Having multiple security solutions creates complexity which leads to confusion and inconsistency in applying policies and responding to threats. This is a massive risk as the greatest financial impact to an organization happens in the period of time between incident detection and containment. The larger this window is, the more detrimental and costly the attack on your business.
The Best-of-Breed approach leads to blind spots. Blind spots lead to an increase in risk; you can't mitigate the incidents you don't know about. While the Best-of-Breed approach is the illusion of risk reduction, it does not effectively reduce an organization's risk.
Lastly, if your organization's security posture is custom fit; so are the resources to manage it. Whether you're a small business or an enterprise, hiring the right team to support your Best-of-Breed approach is challenging long term (we talk more about this below).
While cybercrime has continued to significantly rise year-over-year; the necessary shift to remote or hybrid workplaces over the last two years has accelerated the risk factor amongst all industries.
The brittle and disjointed security systems that were commonplace in many organizations, are an insufficient defense against the volume and complexity of incidents organizations face today.
The fact of the matter is that if you have overlapping security products from multiple vendors, you do have security blind spots, even if you (or your MSSP) are using a SIEM to stitch all those signals together. For more information on the Best-of-Platform approach, check out this blog post. It's about a 14-minute read, and it contains a ton of useful detail about how the Best-of-Breed approach is leaving businesses vulnerable to costly attacks.
In the image above, the left-hand side shows individual security products while the right-hand side shows the IT skillsets needed to maintain each product(s).
Another way to visualize the diagram is to imagine this being your IT environment, leveraging five different security products and having three different IT resources managing various areas based on their skillset. Setting up a team this way may leave room for gaps where the right resources are not readily available to mitigate blind spots.
The short answer is turnover on your IT team in a Best-of-Breed security environment creates gaps that increase your organization's risk. As a business leader, you do not want custom, unpredictable resourcing–especially when recruiting IT members is so competitive.
In the recruiting world, Human Resources will often use a term to describe searching for a candidate with a very specific skillset as; "I am looking for a purple haired squirrel." A security stack IT position that relies on custom resources is, by definition, the perfect purple haired squirrel. And it's inherently volatile because when there's turnover on your IT team and only a handful of people can fill those specific roles, your organization is left unprotected.
As the diagram above shows, the longer it takes for your organization to fill the open IT position(s); the longer your organization is vulnerable to cyberattacks. Companies can't continue to patch together security—you'll never be protected.
What we have learned–and lived–is that the true "best" security posture is one that tightly integrates to provide a complete, holistic picture of the organization, with no overlap or conflict in the process for investigation of or response to incidents.
Smart organizations are beginning to rethink their security posture. If you aren't sure where to start, the best next step is to get an assessment to understand where your organization stands today and what security gaps currently exist for your organization.
How exactly do you weather a perfect cybercrime storm?
As the way we work has evolved, cybercrime tactics have evolved as well. How can you protect your business in an increasingly volatile cybercrime landscape? Take action with this eBook designed to help CEOs, executives, and decision-makers understand today's cyberthreat and what they can do to tackle today's challenges and strengthen their security posture.

Tetrapod assemblages provide a useful means for global correlation of the terrestrial Triassic sedimentary deposits, but currently no reliable temporal framework has been achieved for the Middle Triassic tetrapod assemblages. Here we report U-Pb zircon chemical abrasion–thermal ionization mass spectrometry dates for five volcanic ashes interbedded with vertebrate fossils from the Ermaying and Tongchuan formations of China. Our results support a late Anisian age for the Sinokannemeyeria Fauna and an early Ladinian age for Yonghesuchus Fauna. It is now possible, through biostratigraphic correlation, to provide accurate ages to other Middle Triassic successions such as the Upper Cynognathus Assemblage Zone of the Karoo of South Africa, the Eryosuchus fauna of the Donguz Suite of Russia and the Karamayi Formation of Xinjiang, China. The base of Anisian (Lower/Middle Triassic boundary) should lie below the base of the Ermaying Formation in the Ordos Basin.
