I happen to know a few bi-curious folks who first dabbled in hackintosh, then drank the Kool-Aid and joined the cult.
Personally, I keep XP running inside a VM on my Mac Book Pro, and I use Spaces to slide between environments. I like having options.

Q: Run exe from network share, with/without admin privileges? I'm trying to run a Win7 exe that's on a network share (a Linux CIFS server).  The share was created by a non-admin (see Windows 7 problem to access shared folder).  I can read and edit and write files in the folder containing the exe.  I can read (i.e., copy) the exe.
But when I try to run the exe, either by double-clicking and OK'ing the UAC dialog, or by right-clicking "Run as administrator", I get:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
Must I copy the exe to local disk before I can run it?
I followed the recipe at the (not yet accepted answer for) How can I run an EXE from a Network Share?, but that appears to grant only read permissions, not exe permissions.
(Distantly related: Cannot Run .exe from Network Drive.)

A: You have to set the value EnableLinkedConnections to 1 as described in this KB article:
Mapped drives are not available from an elevated prompt when UAC is configured to "Prompt for credentials" in Windows
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3035277

*

*In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

*In the right pane, right-click New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.

*Name the new registry entry as EnableLinkedConnections.

*Double-click the EnableLinkedConnections registry entry.

*In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type 1 in the Value data field, and then click OK.

*Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

A: Some installers need to be accessible by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, but network drives are user-specific. EnableLinkedConnections won't help in this case.
Delete your existing network drive and map it again at system level. To do that, create a scheduled task with action: net.exe and arguments: use z: \\host\share\ (provide password, if needed) and change the account for running this task to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. /PERSISTENT:yes does not seem to work, so you'll need to schedule it to run on boot
After you run it, whole system will see the network drive. In Windows explorer it will be displayed as disconnected, but it will work nevertheless.

A: This is expected (although unusual) behaviour.
When you run a program from a network share, it can be done in a few ways.

*

*The share is mapped to a network drive: for example g: -> \\server\share

*The share is accessed directly by the share: \\server\share
The first one can already cause a problem when you run a program as Administrator and I'll explain this below.
What happens when I run a program as administrator?
When you run a program as administrator, a new environment is created and the profile for Administrator is loaded. Although it will use the rights your user has, it obviously has additional rights for the administrator user. As a concequence, any mapping to a network drive are not created, and thus your Administrator user does not have any additional network mappings present in its profile, thus the g: does not exists.
It is even possible if the security settings on the share are very tight, the administrator user does not have permission either.
How to troubleshoot and overcome the problem?
Obviously you can just copy the file locally and run it then, but lets assume you don't want to do this.
You can start a command prompt as administrator first. From there enter the following command:
net use g: \\server\share

Replace the drive and share so they match your existing share.
As long as this command prompt window is open, you can execute your executable as administrator and it will work guaranteed.
If your user does not have rights to the \\server\share, net use will fail with an error telling you exactly this, so you know where this problem is.
If the rights are good, you can alternatively access the executable by going to \\server\share and run the executable as administrator. This eliminates the requirement for having a network share first in a different environment.

New York Inmates Sue for Dental Floss and $500M
Some jail inmates are trying to put a $500 million bite on a suburban New York county in a lawsuit demanding access to dental floss.
Eleven inmates in the Westchester County jail in Valhalla say in a federal civil rights lawsuit that they are losing their teeth and suffering pain because they aren't allowed dental floss.
Several say in the complaint that they brush three times a day, "tongue and gums included," but still get cavities and suffer bleeding gums, constant dental work for temporary fillings, and mental anguish.
The Journal News first reported on the lawsuit.
Deputy Correction Commissioner Justin Pruyne defended the ban, saying "it (dental floss) potentially can be used as a weapon." He would not be more specific, but said the staff is exploring "whether there are products out there which would be appropriate in a custodial situation … maybe some sort of floss that breaks easily."
"But staff and inmate safety come first," he said.
The suit, filed Sept. 10 in Manhattan, says that when cavities develop, inmates are given only temporary fillings, which eventually fall out and lead to tooth loss or chronic pain. Inmates are denied crowns and root canals, it says.
Santiago Gomez, the lead plaintiff, filed the lawsuit without an attorney. He says other jails permit flossing. The suit asks for $500 million for the alleged violations.
The lawsuit names as defendants Westchester County, Correction Commissioner Kevin Cherveko, the company contracted to handle inmates' health care and two dentists.

Q: Messy Keys & iOS notification problems a little background info of what I'm doing. Im an amateur iOS programmer.
I just joined this relatively new startup company and was assigned a task to replicate a new app from another old application with minor changes, mainly images & content. Everything is working fine except for the notification , and i did some findings regarding how APN works (first time touching APN stuff ) and started to create certSignRequest & p12 file according to online tutorials (raywenderlich and few more). Apparently I created too many keys for testing & exploring, all of it are not working and kinda messed up the Keychain Access
http://imgur.com/ytJx3Yu
The backend code was written in node js. I've placed the p12 file into the corresponding folder and added codes in the backend. It seems the apn acknowledge my device token and delivered according to the console.
http://imgur.com/Jdrk11m
Im suspecting that I might messed up during the creating certSignRequest/p12 part but im not sure.

*

*How do I identify which key is useful and which are not ? is there anyway to tidy up the whole thing ?

*after uploading the certSignRequest to Production SSL Cert, it allows me to download aps_production.cer, what is the usage of this cert ?
Please advise me. Thanks in advance !
p/s : there are no documentations or whatsoever, the previous programmer who created the whole thing left and is unable to be contacted anymore.

A: A couple things to help you on your way:

*

*When you create the CSR it will allow you to choose a common name for your keys.  Pick something unique to all those other keys you have in your keychain, that way you can easily identify it.

*Create both a development and a production push certificate.  You mentioned you created aps_production.cer.  Download these and put it in your keychain.

*You can verify if you 'messed up on the certSignRequest/p12 part' by following the Ray Wenderlich tutorial that you mentioned here: http://www.raywenderlich.com/32960/apple-push-notification-services-in-ios-6-tutorial-part-1
Go through the steps starting at 'making a PEM file' and go all the way through the end of the tutorial.  Take the time to actually do it, it won't take too long.  It will give you a quick PHP script and a way to test the assets you just created using the Mac terminal and send a push to the test app.  If you get this working, then you can more confidently add the p12 file to the backend knowing that it works.

*You can delete any keys from your keychain where you are confident that they were created out of your experimentation.  If you're unsure, I would leave them be until you can figure out what they're for.

Despite all common sense, VAM is going on tour with a new album!
Try as the world might, The VAM Commanders ("VAM") can't be stopped. Neither snow nor rain nor old age nor fading artistic relevance or the Pacific Ocean stays these rockers from their sacred duty of bringing the thunder. Something they'll be doing on tour with performances at:
9/16 Portland - Ash Street Saloon
9/17 Corvallis - Bombs Away Cafe
9/18 Bend - Volcanic Theatre Pub
9/19 Ashland - Lounge South
9/20 Medford - DowntownART+SOUND
VAM had their heyday in the late '90s, giving Oregon's punk scene a much-needed blast of mirth with kooky songs about mutant walruses and skater-politics paired with high-energy — occasionally naked — performances that often got the band — and occasionally all rock music — banned from returning to the venue. The band recorded and released six independent recordings blending ska, punk, hip-hop and avant-garde weirdness before breaking up in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2004 and who knows how many other times. The band scattered around the Pacific Rim to Ashland, Portland, Corvallis, Boise, Denver and Tokyo. But whenever they were fed enough drinks, a reunion was inevitable, with a dozen or so of them performed over the years.
But thanks to a rare extended stateside appearance from Tokyo-based drummer, Dustin Wasserman, VAM is back on the road again, with a string of Pacific Northwest performances listed below, and This is Not a Time Machine, a new album recorded cross-continentally through the use of file-sharing programs.
And it's all for one reason: the fans.
"For years after we scattered, people kept writing to us asking us to play this show or that, or so they could tell us what VAM songs had meant to them, or that they were learning to play from our albums," says Josh Gross, the band's guitarist. "We just got tired of telling them no."
This is Not a Time Machine is a collection of older tunes the band never got around to recording like it's anti-arena rock anthem, "(Please Don't) Show Your Boobs," the rapped diary of VAM's disastrous first tour, "Highway 2 Hell," the self-titled ode to band hero, "Al Bundy", as well as a series of new songs written specifically for the album, and a handful ported over from side projects.
"The songs written just for the new album are the most mature we've ever done," says Gross. "They are then balanced out by those oldies so immature we didn't bother to even record them back in the day. I know it's too late for the new songs to be VAM classics, but they should be. Like wine, cheese and bagels, I think we've improved with age."
Other than maturity, one thing that sets the band's newer material apart is a more broadly inclusive songwriting process. Joe Perez, the band's hypeman has been in VAM since the start, but This is Not a Time Machine is the first of the band's albums to include songs he wrote.
"The weirdest thing isn't just that Joe wrote songs on the new album, it's that he wrote some of the best songs on it," says lead vocalist Will Shapiro.
The album's title came from Gross, who was the most skeptical of reunions due to his belief that people didn't want new songs or performances so much as to turn back the clock, something the band not only can't do, but something he feels it shouldn't try to do.
"We started out in a small tourist town that wasn't so hot on a bunch of punk kids causing a ruckus," he says. "VAM was a way to take control of our own destinies rather than having them prescribed from on high. It's always been about looking forward, not back."
That sentiment is flushed out in the album's title track, which Gross penned as an anti-nostalgia anthem.
A reuniting rock band that is dedicated to smashing nostalgia might seem like an odd pairing, but VAM whether it was crafting lounge tunes for its punk audience, singing punk songs about chihuahuas, only playing handmade guitars from the band's bass player, performing in only towels, or releasing an EP made up entirely of the same audio track with six different sets of lyrics as a homage to the late great Wesley Willis, VAM have always done things their own way, generally wrong, way.
This is Not a Time Machine will be physical and digitally released worldwide on September 16, 2014 on Tingle Finger Recordings.
Advanced digital release coming soon to the Tingle Store!

Q: Orbit of $\frac{1}{2}$ of the dynamical system defined by $f:[0,1] \to [0,\frac{3}{4}]$ where $f(x)=3x(1-x)$ converges. I view the orbit of $\frac{1}{2}$ of the dynamical system defined by $f:[0,1] \to [0,\frac{3}{4}]$ where $f(x)=3x(1-x)$ as the sequence $(x_{n})$. So
$$x_n = \frac{1}{2}, f\bigg(\frac{1}{2}\bigg), f\bigg(f\bigg(\frac{1}{2}\bigg)\bigg), \dots$$
$(x_n)$ appears to dance around the fixed point $\frac{2}{3}$ while slowly converging to it.
The odd-numbered iterates are increasing and the even-number iterates are decreasing. Let $(a_{k})$ be the sequence of odd terms of $(x_{n})$ where $k = 2n-1$ and $(b_{k})$ be the sequence of even terms of $(x_{n})$ where $k = 2n$.
Show $(a_k)$ is monotonic & bounded.
1. Increasing:
$a_{k}<a_{k+1} \forall \ k \in \ \mathbb{N}$. In terms of $(x_{n})$, show $x_{2n-2}<x_{2n+1} \forall \ n \in \ \mathbb{N}$.
$$x_{2n+1} - x_{2n-1}>0$$
$$(-27x_{2n-1}^4+54x_{2n-1}^3-36x_{2n-1}^2+9x_{2n-1})-(x_{2n-1}) > 0$$
$$-27x_{2n-1}^4+54x_{2n-1}^3-36x_{2n-1}^2+8x_{2n-1}> 0$$
$$x_{2n-1}(2-3x_{2n-1})^3 > 0$$
$$0<x_{2n-1}<\frac{2}{3}$$
$$0<a_{k}<\frac{2}{3}$$
Hence, the subsequence $(a_k)$ is strictly increasing and
$(a_k)$ is bounded below by the first point of the subsequence
$a_1=\frac{1}{2}$.
Question:
How do I show $a_{k}$ is bounded above by the fixed point $\frac{2}{3}$?
Maybe, use epsilon delta proof to show convergence, which implies $(x_n)$. Or by induction, assume $x_{2n-1}< \frac{2}{3}$ show $x_{2n+1}=f(f(x_{2n-1}))<\frac{2}{3}$

A: Note that $f(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{3}{4}$(as commented by bonext), $f(\frac{2}{3})=\frac{2}{3}$(as you have noticed) and $f(\frac{3}{4})=\frac{9}{16}\in(\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3})$. Also note that $f$ is strictly decreasing on $[\frac{1}{2},1]$. Then we have
$$f((\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3}))\subset(\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4})\quad\mbox{and}\quad f((\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4}))\subset(\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3}).$$
Now by induction, it is easy to see $x_{2n-1}\in(\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3})$ and $x_{2n}\in(\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4})$ when $n\ge 2$.


I've been seeing one of my lives floating all over social media because apparently my jeans are a topic of conversation….again. So, let me start off by saying that I teach at a local college and therefore, all of my students are adults. Additionally, I am allowed to wear what makes me comfortable and I love jeans and heels! Nothing wrong with that. Forgive me for not wearing baggy jeans from the 90's. Where would I even buy those? Tons of professors at my school wear jeans and heels. Yes, I understand that my shape causes a lot of attention on social media but in real life it's a bit different. My students focus on the lectures and lessons and they all work hard to achieve results. Is it a bit different that I'm a teacher who also has a social media presence and models? Sure. I'm sure that's quite unique because that's not something you see often. However, that's what makes me who I am-my range, depth and multi-faceted capabilities. I think it's awesome that I'm not like every other teacher and that I can't be boxed into categories traditionally defined by society.
You ever fail a class on purpose? Well, you might if you had this beautiful woman as your teacher. This teacher, Nerissa Reaves, teaches at a community college in New Orleans and her videos have been going viral for their magnificent…lessons. Okay, let's be real. People are staring at her curves the whole time and they have a lot to say about the videos.
Reaves doesn't seem to mind as she trucks along with her lessons. But that bawdy? Well, yes, she's a model, too. She's been published in Smooth and Show magazines and has appeared in Migos' "Look At My Dab" video. Quite a diverse catalogue there.
So you know we had to bless you with more pics, right? Take a look at more of Miss Reaves and try to enroll into one of her classes ASAP.

Wear The Story of Pink and Fight Pediatric Cancer 🎗
Our motto, "Everyday is a day to wear pink"
Every shade tells a story, It's a pink Love Story. Most of all believe in love, the love of fashion is like no other. It's the best love story ever told!
17% Given Back
Seventeen Percent (17%) of net profit from the sale of ALL "The Story of Pink Inc." Products is given to The Zoefia Alexandria Foundation Inc. our nonprofit partner who is taking a stand against PEDIATRIC CANCER.🎗
My Inspiration came from my AMAZING daughter Zoefia Alexandria and her journey with brain cancer. It was a lengthy 4-year battle for her, and she touched so many along the way as her resilience and will to fight has showed us miracles. Zoefia taught us to 'ALWAYS BELIEVE! 🎗
Unfortunately, Zoefia passed away in December of 2019, but her story will forever be shared to inspire others.
The Story of Pink and Our thought process, for starters we are a woman own brand, we are particular about fabrics, we are concerned about where our products are made. But one thing we know is that we are obsessed with PINK, we LOVE cashmere and silks and finally we believe in social good. So how do we merge it all? We build a brand that is based on ethics.


Now is the time to buy! Rates remain near historic lows, and the housing market showed marked improvement last month, further encouraging the case for a boom in housing activity this year according to Fannie Mae's May 2015 National Housing Survey.
Contracts to purchase homes continued to grow in early spring. Pending home sales are 11 percent higher than one year ago and are at their highest since June 2013, according to March figures from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), whose reports have a two month lag time.
Demand is highest near and in major metropolitan areas experiencing economic growth. Even better news is traditional homebuyers appear to be replacing home investors, who typically buy homes with cash. Home prices are, however, increasing and homes are selling faster.
Rising home prices could be a pain point for some buyers. A limited supply of available housing inventory is to blame for driving up prices. NAR's Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun, stated that in some parts of the country prices are increasing at a rate 4 or more times the pace of wage growth, which could prove difficult for prospective homebuyers and first-timers.
The increase in mortgage interest rates in the first weeks of May resulted in a decrease in total home loan applications. When compared to last year, home loan application volume is still higher, although it has fallen 10 percent over the past four weeks, according to figures from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).
Of the total applications, the numbers were split nearly even between those wishing to buy homes, versus those refinancing existing loans. Many homeowners refinanced to try to take advantage of a lower interest rate or shorten the length of their home loans. The good news is that refinance opportunities are still available!
Current interest rates remain near historic lows and now may be the right time to purchase a new home or refinance your current loan. If you or anyone you know has questions regarding refinancing, or wants to get ahead of the home buying competition with a loan pre-approval, please get in touch today.

Effects of the European patent in Contracting State
The patent granted by the European Patent Office shall have the same effects, as the national patents granted in Contracting states.
The European patent shall have the effects in the Contracting State as from the date, when the grant of the European patent was announced in the European Patent Bulletin.
The proprietor of the patent shall be obliged to
submit to the Office the translation of the patent specification to the national language within 3 months since this date, and
to pay the administrative fee for the publication
In the same time, the proprietor of the patent shall be obliged to
submit to the Office the address in the Contracting State, where the official notifications concerning his patent are to be sent.
The Office shall announce the grant of the European patent in the Bulletin and publish the translation of the European patent specification.
If the translation of the European patent specification to the national language is not submitted within the period specified above, the proprietor of the European patent may submit it in the additional time limit of 3 months, provided that he will pay the administrative fee according to the special regulation.
If the translation of the European patent specification to the national language is not submitted even within the additional time limit according to the above paragraph, the European patent shall be considered in the Contracting State as null and void from the outset.
After the announcement of the grant of the European patent in the European Patent Bulletin, the Office shall enter the European patent to the National Register of European patents with the data.
Extent of protection from the European patent
The text of the European patent in the language of the proceedings before the European Patent Office shall be decisive for the determination of the extent of protection conferred by the European patent; nevertheless, if the extent of protection conferred by the translation of the patent specification, submitted to the National Office of the Contracting State is narrower than in the language of proceedings, third parties can refer to this translation.
The proprietor of a European patent is entitled to submit to the Office the corrected translation of the European patent specification to the national language. The corrected translation shall have effects instead of the original translation as from the publication of the corrected translation by the National Office; the proprietor of the European patent shall pay the fee for the publication according to special regulations.
The rights of third persons, which on the territory of the Contracting State in good faith have used or have realised serious and effective preparations to use the subject-matter, which pursuant to the translation valid in the period before the publication of the corrected translation by the National Office was not covered by the extent of this European patent, are not affected by the delivery of the new translation.
Prohibition of the simultaneous protection
If the national patent is granted to the invention, to which the European patent has been granted with the same right of priority to the same proprietor of the patent or his successor in title, the national patent shall cease to have effect to the extent that it is identical with the European patent, from the date, on which the period for filing the notice of opposition to the European patent expires without such notice being filed, or the date of entry into force of the decision, by which the European patent has been maintained in the opposition proceedings.
The national patent shall not have effects to the extent that it is identical with the European patent, if it was granted after the expiry of the period for filing the notice of opposition to the European patent without such notice being filed, or after the date of entry into force of the decision, by which the European patent has been maintained in the opposition proceedings.
The provisions mentioned in the above two paragraphs shall not be affected by the revocation of the European patent.

Q: A twist on directory walking in Ruby I'd like to do the following:
Given a directory tree:
Root
 |_dirA
 |_dirB
    |_file1
    |_file2
 |_dirC
    |_dirD
       |_dirE
          |_file3
          |_file4
 |_dirF
    |_dirG
       |_file5
       |_file6
       |_file7

... I'd like to walk the directory tree and build an array that contains the path to the first file in each directory that has at least one file.  The overall structure may be quite large with many more files than directories, so I'd like to capture just the path to the first file without iterating through all the files in a given directory.  One file is enough. For the above tree, the result should look like an array that contains only:
  root/dirB/file1
  root/dirC/dirD/dirE/file3
  root/dirF/dirG/file5

I've played with the Dir and Find options in ruby, but my approach feels too brute-force-ish.
Is there an efficient way to code this functionality?  It feels like I am missing some ruby trick here.
Many thanks!
Here's my approach:
root="/home/subtest/tsttree/"
Dir.chdir(root)
dir_list=Dir.glob("**/*/") #this invokes recursion
result=Array.new
dir_list.each do |d|
        Dir.chdir(root + d)
        Dir.open(Dir.pwd).each do |filename|
            next if File.directory? filename  #some directories may contain only other directories so exclude them
            result.push(d + filename)
            break
        end
end
puts result

Works, but seems messy.

A: require 'pathname'

# My answer to stackoverflow question posted here:
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12684736/a-twist-on-directory-walking-in-ruby
class ShallowFinder
  def initialize(root)
    @matches = {}
    @root = Pathname(root)
  end

  def matches
    while match = next_file
      @matches[match.parent.to_s] = match
    end

    @matches.values
  end

  private

  def next_file
    @root.find do |entry|
      Find.prune if previously_matched?(entry)
      return entry if entry.file?
    end
    nil
  end

  def previously_matched?(entry)
    return unless entry.directory?
    @matches.key?(entry.to_s)
  end
end

puts ShallowFinder.new('Root').matches

Outputs:
Root/B/file1
Root/C/D/E/file3
Root/F/G/file5

Reuters Health writes: Hospitals that switch from paper to electronic health records may eventually see lower death rates than they had before, but a U.S. study also suggests that fatalities may first increase as the transition gets underway. Researchers examined the degree of digitization and 30-day death rates for patients age 65 and older at 3,249 hospitals nationwide from 2008 to 2013.
While the study wasn't a controlled experiment designed to prove whether or how converting to electronic health records (EHR) directly impacts hospital death rates, the study team speculates that the larger and academic hospitals had ongoing quality improvement efforts that left less room to show mortality benefits when they went digital. For smaller community hospitals, however, adopting electronic health records might have made a bigger difference in improving the quality of care. In contrast, for smaller and non-teaching hospitals, EHR adoption may have represented a large, highly visible quality improvement initiative that also prompted broader quality efforts.

Feb 16, 2016 Mirex Sebastian News 0
Adele had an oops moment during her 'All I Ask' performance at the Grammy on Monday, February 15, 2016.
Adele sounded flat and scratchy during her 'All I Ask' performance at the Grammys.
According to the 27-year-old singer, she was distracted and her performance was affected by the poor sound quality and technical issues.
After her performance, Adele took to Twitter and explain what happened during her number.
"The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that's what the guitar sound was. It made it sound out of tune," the British singer tweeted.
With or without sound issues, Adele's performance is amazing!

I am aware that the simplest way is to conquest their land. But AI Russia being "annoying AI" decide it was a good idea to have Quantity... They can easily field 120ish units. While I am barely at 60. So ideally I would like to keep them around as a punch bag.
Question: Put simply. What is the best way to get a foreign heir on another country? Does turn revolutionary cause the dynasty for Russia to change right?
I plan to use a vassal to grow in Caucasian due to "50% extra cost to coring". If their dynasty count against you then I could just diplo-annex them not a big deal.
Question: Do vassal's family count against you?

Tel Aviv - Asharq Al-Awsat
Israeli Officers Warn against Security Chaos Erupting in Ramadan

Israeli security service officials have joined the warnings issued by Palestinian civil society and political leaders against potential escalation of violence by far-right proponents who are supported by Israeli police officers.
The escalation by far-right activists portends a major security explosion in Jerusalem, especially with the advent of Islam's holy month of fasting, Ramadan.
Rallies by extremist right-wing activists, led by Knesset member Itamar Ben-Gvir, in the Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan neighborhoods and other neighborhoods of occupied East Jerusalem, are being accompanied by fierce repression and abuse by the Israeli police towards the Palestinians.
These transgressions are bound to generate intense tension among Palestinians, raising the stakes for the security situation exploding in Jerusalem at any moment.
There is also fear that tensions and violence may spill over to other Arab towns in Israel, where residents are especially triggered by the situation in Jerusalem, home to both Muslim and Christian holy sites. The situation may also explode in Gaza and the West Bank.
Haaretz newspaper quoted a number of Israeli police officers as saying that the orders issued in the name of "strictly dealing with the enforcement of the rule of law" are not proportionate to the events and involve significant exaggerations in the use of force and violence.
Officers pointed out that continuing with the incumbent policy during Ramadan, when crowds of thousands of Palestinians perform prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque, might be a precursor for clashes erupting nationwide.
Palestinian factions and personalities had warned several times in the past two weeks that the bloody attacks on the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and its residents, which are escalating and taking on the character of a racist Judaization, are a form of "playing with fire."
The High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel has put the issue of Jerusalem at the forefront of the topics it will raise on Land Day this year, which falls on March 30.

Ле́да () — персонаж древнегреческой мифологии. Согласно Овидию, имела красивые черные волосы и белоснежную кожу.

Дочь этолийского царя Фестия и Евритемиды (или дочь Сисифа и Пантидии, по Евмелу Коринфскому), жена царя Спарты Тиндарея. Упомянута в «Илиаде» (III 384) и «Одиссее» (XI 298).

Поразившись красотой Леды, Зевс на реке Еврот предстал перед ней в образе лебедя и овладел ею, она снесла два яйца, и плодом их союза были Полидевк и Елена. Либо же она снесла тройное яйцо, из яйца родились Кастор, Полидевк и Елена. Либо из двух яиц появилось четверо детей. По другому рассказу, она нашла на прогулке под гиацинтами яйцо, которое снесла Немесида. Почиталась как олицетворение материнства и женственности. По одной версии, была перенесена на Острова Блаженных как мать Елены Прекрасной.

Действующее лицо пьесы Дионисия Сиракузского «Леда».

В честь Леды назван астероид (38) Леда, открытый в 1856 году, спутник Юпитера под номером 13 (JXIII), открытый в 1974 году, и равнина Леды на Венере.

Этимология
Имя Леда некоторые сопоставляют с именем богини Лето и объясняют его в том смысле, что первоначально Леда была олицетворением ночи, матери светил. По другим сведениям, слово Леда есть не что иное, как встречающееся в ликийских надписях Lada — жена, женщина (госпожа), слово карийско-лелегского корня.

Существует предположение, что, так как в гробницах многих народов, в том числе минойских гробницах Крита, находят раскрашенные яйца страуса, это послужило основой для мифа.

В искусстве

Художники итальянского чинквеченто — Леонардо да Винчи, Микеланджело, Корреджо — изображали Леду в момент её совокупления с Зевсом либо после него. В поэзии описание соития Леды с могучей птицей служило как эротическим (Ронсар), так и философским целям (Йейтс).

Today is the start of a new era. For the first time in fifty two years it's not possible to book a room at Tokyo's iconic Okura Hotel, or even order a beer in the legendary Orchid Bar. President's have stayed there and so did Bond in the film 'You Only Live Twice', though how he managed the 600km journey to Himeji Castle so quickly was never clearly explained. It's also in a scene from the surreal Haruki Murakami book IQ84 (Q being the pronunciation of the number nine in Japanese if you were wondering) as a body is smuggled out of the back.
Built for the '64 Olympics, it's descendant will open in time for the 2020 events. There has been much criticism and lamenting of the decision to raze the building to the ground being considered one of the finest remaining examples of 1960's Japanese architecture it certainly boasts a remarkable lobby. But outside some excellent food and outstanding customer service, that's actually about it. The rooms show their age and the Orchid Bar still banishes non-smokers to a pokey little side room more suitable for rabbits. It is time to go.
The replacement soaring structure, designed by the son to the original's architect, will be a pair of glass towers, forty-one stories high. Being atop the bluff of the yamanote (foothills) of Tokyo, the view of the bay area will be spectacular and, a hundred meters from the American Embassy, it is bound to host Presidents into the future. Whether Bond will ever leap from it's towers is an unknown but with the well hidden and tight access roads he's going to be better served with a motorcycle than a limousine. And maybe in the new Hotel Okura's resurrected Orchid Bar, it'll be the smokers who are banished to the rabbit hutch. Let's wait and see.

Minimizing Wealth Transfers and Family Conflicts
by Allen Esrock | Dec 25, 2021 | Family Dynamics
In virtually all families, assets will be transferred from one generation to the next. Yet when those assets carry significant monetary value, as is customary within wealthy families, inter-generational conflict can often arise and develop into a serious issue. Careful thought and expert insight can mitigate the risk of conflict, enabling wealth transfers to lead to a harmonious and wealthy next generation who continue the family's mission and vision.
I had the pleasure of being on a panel at Prestel and Partners' Family Office Forum in London, which included Dominik von Eynern from BLU Five Generations Family Office, Richard Joynt from Ocorian and myself. Richard chaired the panel and introduced 3 cases involving the salient themes that emerged from the discussion surrounding inter-generational conflict when wealth is transferred within wealthy families.
The impact of family conflict
Conflict over wealth transfers can have detrimental effects. Disputes over wealth can not only erode finances due to legal fees and asset freezing procedures – causing some family members to live in reduced circumstances whilst litigation is ongoing – but it can also ruin family relationships and the family unit itself. During the panel discussion, there were three main themes of conflict explored.
Here they are as described by Richard Joynt:
Authoritarian Patriarchy – there was an agreement amongst us panelists that a patriarchal authoritarian style lead to conflict between generations at some stage in the future, often when the second generation were older and had become parents themselves. Commonly, this conflict is borne out of resentment and dissatisfaction about how their lives had not 'been their own' and they harbour desires to break this cycle for their own children.This type of conflict can take many forms, but one type that seems to recur is 'rebellion' by the younger members of the family – this rebellion can be passive as well as aggressive – for instance, family members refuse to engage with those involved in the transfer or act in a passive aggressive, uncooperative manner.
Mixed Messages – Another theme coming through was the damaging power of 'mixed messages'. In situations where a dynastic trust has been put in place, this may send a mixed signal to a family who is trying to engage their children in key family decisions. A family may encourage their younger generation to engage in voting, giving and asset disposition issues, yet at the same time teach them that they are 'beneficiaries' of a trust and may therefore have reduced powers in deciding on the future of the family wealth. This can be destabilising.We commented that the position of a beneficiary of a substantial trust may be envied by their peers but in fact, they actually feel powerless about their financial future and are subject to relying on 'hand-outs' from the trustees.
Equal division without condition – The last perspective examined was the situation where a wealthy family decides to divide all assets on death and leave them equally to all heirs, without conditions. Whilst this is technically 'fair' and promotes ownership of their future, some offspring may be more able to deal with this sudden wealth than others.
Another point raised was that this does not encourage the next generation to work together, therefore reducing the economies of scale and doors to opportunity that a larger, closely allied family would have.
A professional solution to a perennial problem
Family Office professionals have first-hand experience of witnessing what successful and unsuccessful techniques have been employed by wealthy clients. Working with specialists such as wealth advisers, psychologists and wealth consultants, Private Client teams can provide seamless and holistic solutions to the perennial problem of inter-generational conflict

Enterprise's Janae Gray is only one of the weapons the top-ranked Hornets have this season.____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Enterprise girls basketball team overtook the top spot in the latest release of the Northern Section Basketball Media Poll with a 68-53 win over Chico on Monday and now it's the Hornets' to lose.
Enterprise was ranked second behind Chico in the preseason poll but made a statement with their win over the Panthers. It's clear the top spot in the section belongs to the Hornets but the real question is how their youth can handle getting everyone's best every night.
The Hornets have one senior - forward Aurelia Robbins - dynamic guard play with freshman Kamira Sanders (29 points against Chico Monday) and sophomore Janae Gray to go with two junior post players in Jordan Kimbrough, a two-time first-team All-Record Searchlight selection, and Rachel Martin. But Enterprise folded in the playoffs last year and has a younger team this season. Watching how these Hornets deal with the pressure as the top team could wind up taking a toll come late February.
The top three are easy since Enterprise beat Chico and the Panthers beat PV. But Red Bluff was the biggest mover jumping from 10 th to fourth after beating Anderson and West Valley - both previously higher ranked teams - to win the Anderson Tip-off Classic.
The Cubs and Eagles play Tuesday night, which will determine the head-to-head for the following week's rankings. Although, the two could potentially play again this week since they are in separate sides of the Harlan Carter bracket.
Ninth-ranked Foothill will have a chance to move up by playing higher-ranked teams in the Harlan Carter.
Chico gained a vote on Enterprise, mainly because the Panthers playing upper division teams from other sections while Enterprise dismantled opponents in games it was expected to win.
A much improved PV squad beat both Shasta and Foothill in the Harlan Carter and deservedly rose to the third spot.
Liberty Christian suffered three losses - to all upper division teams - but gave Foothill a scare and dropped one spot to eighth. The Patriots proved it can hang with the middle of the pack teams and should be included in the discussion especially since they are scheduling upper division teams and not backing down.
Liberty has more chances this weekend in the Lehigh Classic against upper division teams and ranked teams to climb in the polls.
Northern Section Media Poll - Dec. 4
1. Chico (6) 3-0
2. Enterprise (3) 4-0
3. Pleasant Valley 3-1
T4. Foothill 2-1
T4. Shasta 1-2
6. Orland 5-0
7. Corning 4-0
8. Liberty Chr. 1-3
9. CV 2-2
10. Gridley 3-1
2. Chico 3-1
3. PV 2-1
4. Red Bluff 3-0

SINGAPORE – Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have discovered a new, highly sophisticated advanced persistent threat (APT) framework targeting a single Central Asian diplomatic agency. Malware samples associated with the APT reveal a complex never-before-seen code base, making it extremely hard to detect.
The APT, called TajMahal, was found by Kaspersky late 2018. Samples examined suggest the cyberespionage group behind the attack has been active since August 2014.
What makes TajMahal so sophisticated? The criminals behind the development of this framework created two parts, or packages, named "Tokyo" and "Yokohama" that together contain 80 malicious modules. "This is one the highest number of plugins we've ever seen for any APT toolset," according to researchers, who released a report on TajMahal on Wednesday at the 2019 Security Analyst Summit.
Kaspersky said the attackers' toolkit includes backdoors, loaders, orchestrators, C2 communicators, audio recorders, keyloggers, screen and webcam grabbers, documents and cryptography key stealers, and even a file indexer to organize data from a target's machine.
One particularly interesting function is the ability to steal documents from removable storage devices, such as a USB drive. Files on external drive are first identified, then upon second use of the drive only the targeted file on the drive is exfiltrated.
Kaspersky isn't sharing the details on who specifically TajMahal targeted in this most recent campaign, beyond a Central Asian diplomatic agency. "A likely hypothesis would be that there are other additional victims we haven´t found yet," Kaspersky said.
Alexey Shulmin, lead malware analyst at Kaspersky, said that the APT's complex communication protocol matches TajMaha's sophisticated arsenal of plugins.
The moniker TajMahal was given to the group because that's the name the attackers gave an XML file used for data exfiltration. That's similar to a references to an operation named "TadjMakhal" found in an older Turla threat group sample, the researcher noted.
"Interestingly, the only known victim of TajMahal appears also to have been targeted by Zebrocy, although unsuccessfully," Shulmin said. Zebrocy is a tool associated with the APT group Sofacy.
Second to sophistication, TajMahal is remarkable for its stealth, said researchers. Developers of the framework have gone to great lengths to keep it undetected. Chief among those efforts is the use of an entirely new code base.
Further efforts towards stealth include behavioral detection avoidance. That includes a dearth of "dirty hacks or undocumented features" that might trigger alarms in endpoint or perimeter defenses. Adversaries behind TajMahal go a step further, and have the ability to randomize service names should a target try to delete an infection, Shulmin said.
"[If you delete the] Frontend file or related registry values, it will reappear after reboot with a new name and another startup type," according to the Kaspersky report.
"The TajMahal framework is a very interesting and intriguing… The technical sophistication is beyond any doubt, including a huge amount of plugins that implement a number of features that we have not previously [been] seen in any other APT activity, such as having its own indexer, emergency C2s, stealing files from external drives when connected again," Kaspersky researchers wrote.
Researchers stressed that much is still unclear about TajMahal – such as how targets are getting infected. But one thing is clear. With Kaspersky's exposure of TajMahal, the attackers are going to have to start over from scratch.

Man tests positive to Covid in Melbourne days after completing hotel quarantine in South Australia | Health
A Victorian man has tested positive to Covid-19 after staying in hotel quarantine in South Australia.
The man, aged in his 30s who recently returned to Australia from overseas, travelled to his home in Wollert in Melbourne's north on 4 May after completing compulsory hotel quarantine in South Australia.
Victoria's department of health said he developed symptoms on 8 May, and took a Covid test on 10 May. He returned a positive result on Tuesday morning.
"Further testing has been urgently arranged to confirm the diagnosis," the department of health said in a statement. "Until that time, the department is treating this as a positive case and acting accordingly."
Contact tracing has begun in the meantime, and the department said a list of potential exposure sites would be published once confirmed.
The man and others in his household are isolating at home. Those close contacts were also being interviewed and tested. The department is working with interstate health authorities to determine the likely source of the infection. Anyone with symptoms is being urged to get tested.
The new Victorian case comes as health authorities in New South Wales continue their efforts to track down the "missing link" between a case of community transmission and a returned traveller from the US. Sequencing revealed their cases of the virus match, but contact tracing has failed to reveal any opportunities for transmission between the two, leading them to believe there is an unknown case linking them.
While no new community cases were identified in NSW in the 24 hours to 8pm Monday, authorities remain concerned. Restrictions are in place until 17 May for greater Sydney, including Wollongong, the Central Coast and the Blue Mountains.
People in NSW aged 40 to 49 are able to register to get the Pfizer vaccine at a new Covid-19 mass vaccination hub that opened at Sydney Olympic Park on Monday. A further 351,000 Pfizer doses arrived in Australia on Monday and will be tested by medical regulators for quality and safety.
Data published on Monday night shows 2,663,221 doses of vaccine have been administered in Australia.
This week the Vaccine Operations Centre is expected to triple the allocated doses from 50 to 150 per week for 3,000 lower volume general practices, double the allocated doses from 100 to 200 per week for 1,000 medium-volume general practices, and double the Pfizer doses to states and territories to support vaccination for those under 50.

Łuniew – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie lubelskim, w powiecie bialskim, w gminie Międzyrzec Podlaski.

Wierni Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego należą do parafii Matki Bożej Szkaplerznej w Krzewicy.

Wieś była własnością starosty guzowskiego i nowomiejskiego Stanisława Opalińskiego, leżała w województwie podlaskim w 1673 roku. W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa bialskopodlaskiego.

Wieś stanowi sołectwo.

Części wsi

Historia
Wieś Łuniewo, bo tak się dawniej nazywała, została utworzona na terenie obecnej Międzyrzecczyzny przez Mikołaja z Domanina na gruntach nadanych w roku 1438 przez starostę brzeskiego Jana Nassutowicza.

W roku 1569, na mocy zawartej 28 czerwca na sejmie w Lublinie umowy unijnej Polski z Litwą, wieś Łuniewo została inkorporowana z Litwy przez Koronę.

Jako wieś bojarska, Łuniewo nie było zobowiązane do żadnych powinności o charakterze pańszczyźnianym. Dopiero w roku 1794 książę Adam Czartoryski obciążył mieszkańców wsi różnymi powinnościami. Wymiar powinności pańszczyźnianych był znacząco mniejszy niż miało to miejsce w przypadku chłopów pańszczyźnianych, jednakże nałożenie tych powinności skutkowało procesem, który mieszkańcy wioski wytoczyli w roku 1821 księciu Konstantemu Czartoryskiemu. Proces ten, podobnie jak miało to miejsce w przypadku wioski Pościsze, zakończył się niepowodzeniem dla mieszkańców Łuniewa.

W roku 1864 car Aleksander II wydał dekret o uwłaszczeniu włościan w Królestwie Polskim. Na jego podstawie, mieszkańcy dóbr międzyrzeckich, w tym bojarzy ze wsi Łuniewo, zostali zwolnieni z obowiązków pańszczyźnianych.

Q: Restore site collection from higher database version to lower database version I have a development SP Farm (along with Project Server) with following database version:

Configuration database version: 16.0.4534.1000

UAT SP Farm with following database version:

Configuration database version: 16.0.4600.1001

UAT SP Farm (only project server) with following database version:

Configuration database version: 16.0.4744.1000

Can I restore the site collections of UAT SP Farm into Development farm?
Or do i have to upgrade the Development Farm? If yes, should I upgrade it to DB version 16.0.4744.1000 ?
Server in dev as well as UAT are Windows Server 2012.
Any help and best practises in order to achieve above scenario is much appreciated!

A: If you restore site collection from a higher version, you may meet an error about "Schema version does not match...". For this issue, I suggest you upgrade your development environment to 16.0.4744.1000. Then restore site collections.
In addition, there is a blog about restoring site collections from higher version without installing CU, you can have a try:
How to restore site collection from higher Sharepoint version

A: You can try doing this with following steps:

*

*Make the backup of the Content database in UAT environment

*Restore the database to the Dev database environment

*Connect to the database using SQL Server Management Studio

*Open the table Versions in edit mode and change the value in the Version column to 16.0.4534.1000 (if there are multiple rows there, you should change the value for the row with the largest value of Id column)

*After this step the database should be ready and you can do the standard procedure (mount the content database)


How do I start advertising on Instagram?
Instagram's advertising is done through Facebook's existing ad platforms. This is because Instagram was bought by Facebook in April 2012 and they thought it best if Instagram ads were integrated with their platforms (Facebook Ad panel, Power Editor).
Creating Instagram Ads process is basically the same as creating Facebook Ads with a just few changes when it comes to placement and creatives.
Firstly, you need to have Facebook ad account. A Facebook Business Manager account isn't required but we advise you get one,a s it gives you more options.
Objectives the goals of your campaigns. Depending on what you select, you will have different ad options and Instagram's algorithm will work towards that objective.
Traffic (For clicks to your website or to the app store for your app).
Engagement (For post engagement only).
Conversions (For conversions on your website or app).
Describe the audience that you want to reach with many different variables. With Custom Audience and Lookalike Audience options you can also use your own group of leads and clients.
When you're making your ad, you can select where your ads appear on Instagram. This is where it gets a little different from creating Facebook ads.
Lastly comes the preparing are creatives. Remember that Instagram is all about enticing pictures and videos. Your ads should be well made and stand out in user feeds.
On Instagram you can use the following: Photo Ads, Video Ads and Carousel Ads (multiple images within one ad spot). Ads can also have a call-to-action button with a link to an external website or app.

The Ice Limit by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
Warner Books, July 2000.
Palmer Lloyd, an eccentric billionaire, is looking for something extraordinary for the launch of his extravagant museum which is to be filled with rare, unusual items from around the world. Lloyd hears of the secret discovery of a massive meteorite on an island off the coast of Chile and decides that he simply must acquire the piece for his museum. Willing to pay any sum to acquire the meteor, Lloyd hires Eli Glinn of Effective Engineering Solutions, Inc., a highly unusual firm, which specializes in performing and solving bizarre and difficult engineering tasks, like this one. This project will require moving the heaviest object ever moved by mankind and getting it safely to Lloyd's museum -- without the Chilean government's knowledge. Lloyd also hires Sam McFarlane, a geologist and meteor hunter to help them. Eli Glinn hires a few trusted personnel of his own and obtains a huge oil tanker. After requesting a handsome sum from Lloyd, they are on their way.
This novel had some of the most fascinating characters Preston and Child, authors of Relic and Riptide, have ever concocted. These include Eli Glinn, the head of the unusual engineering company, who who leaves nothing to chance, and who never seems to make a mistake; Lloyd, the billionaire, who wants the meteor for his private museum more than anything in the world; and McFarlane, the well-rounded meteor expert who has a somewhat tarnished reputation in the scientific community. We're looking forward to enjoying more adventures with these characters in the future. Fascinating, energetic and compelling, The Ice Limit is this thriller writing duo's best yet. Highly recommended.
Murder on the Gravy Train by Phyllis Richman
Avon, July 2000.
Food critic Chas Wheatley is back, and that's nothing but good news for mystery fans and foodies alike. After a disastrous blind date, Chas is feeling a bit out of sorts. Her mood is not improved by the incredibly fast decline of one of her favorite restaurants. The rising star young chef has disappeared, and it seems that her new feature on scams in the restaurant industry has put her on the hit list with grumpy restaurant owners with something to hide. As things grow stranger, Chas realizes that her investigation may have something to do with the homicide investigation of her friend, Homer Jones, the Washington, D.C. police detective who adores gourmet food and Chas' best friend, drama critic Sherele (not necessarily in that order).
Add a little romance, more intrigue, stir well, and you have a charming mystery which will entertain, titillate and enthrall would-be gourmets and foodies who love an insider's guide to the rarified world of fine dining. Chas is a delightful character. A single woman in her forties, she is well-respected in her profession and has a good relationship with her grown daughter. Her on-again, off-again relationship with hotshot investigative reporter Dave (whose idea of gourmet food is take-out from the local pizza parlor) is currently on the skids, opening the way for a steamy flirtation with a young taxi driver who adores good food. Richman is unparalleled at writing about her favorite subject, fine food, and her descriptions of the meals are truly mouth watering. But her skills at dialogue, characterization and pacing are just as good as her food writing. The result is a light, delectable concoction which will leave you longing for another course.
