*They're back! Not only Awards season but "Best of" lists for 2015. If you missed these films at the movies, and would like to rent or stream a good film, here are those films found on most critics and audiences top 10 lists. They include Ex Machina, The Assassin, 45 Years, Clouds of Sils Maria, I'll See You in My Dreams, Creed, Son of Saul, Carol, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, Sicario, & Brooklyn.
The idea of awards season and best of lists always tends to be suspect. Some years are better than others. The last two summers have seen long, dry spells where hardly any decent films were released. The best films seem to cluster in releases around the end of the year for some reason!
This year there were a few notable exceptions. The Martian and Bridge of Spies, Ex Machina and Mad Max: Fury Road all came out long before the mad holiday rush. It seems that almost all the oxygen has been sucked out of the room for film and film criticism with the anticipated release of Star Wars. (The Donald Trump of films!)
It's a relief to have it out at last, so we can move on to more important things like…the top 10 lists and the Awards Season that extends for months on end. Then again, maybe Star Wars fever is not such a bad thing after all! See you at the movies-ML

The HealthCare Initiative named to "Best Places to Work" list for 3rd year in a row.
The Denver Business journal just released it's list of the "Best Places to Work" and for the third year in a row The HealthCare Initiative made the cut.
The Denver Business Journal teamed with Quantum Workplace of Omaha, Neb., to help compile the results of employee surveys that were used to determine the winners.
Winners were determined based on employee surveys that measured 40 attributes known to drive employee engagement. Questions were broken down into 10 categories: team effectiveness, retention risk, alignment with goals, trust with co-workers, individual contribution, manager effectiveness, trust in senior leaders, feeling valued, work engagement and people practices. There were 39 questions altogether.
"It is quite an honor to be named to this list as there are so many great companies here in Denver. We make a very intentional effort to make sure our employees not only enjoy their job, but the atmosphere we provide and the company culture," says Sean Milius, CEO of The HealthCare Initiative.
Some of the highlights of working at The HealthCare Initiative include company trips to such places as Mexico, Hawaii and the Bahamas, happy hour celebrations and birthday celebrations. In addition each employee has the chance to participate in a profit sharing program, a gym membership reimbursement and a variety of other cash bonuses.

AIIM contributes to US$26mn renewable energy fund
AIIM Boosts R400mn Orionis Fund Solar PV Projects | AVCA
A Clean Fund For the Future
The SOLA Group has secured R400mn in order to build commercial and industrial solar PV facilities across Southern Africa. The renewable energy fund, Orionis, will enable 40 MW of solar PV projects to be built without capital expenditure by the electricity off-takers.
The deal is a result of a partnership between the SOLA Group, African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM), and Nedbank Energy Finance, who have partnered to provide affordable solar PV solutions for businesses that are in dire need of electricity security.
Chris Haw, the chairperson of the SOLA Group, believes that the clean energy solutions created by the fund are timeous.
"This partnership brings together three highly experienced entities whose combined skills offer consumers clean energy solutions at a time when our country desperately needs it," he said.
"This partnership brings together three highly experienced entities whose combined skills offer consumers clean energy solutions at a time when our country desperately needs it"
SOLA's extensive track record of developing and building solar PV has allowed for the development of the Orionis fund, which will have the ability to fund 40 MW worth of projects. The forthcoming pipeline already includes 15 MW of solar PV Power Purchase Agreements, including several breweries and other industrial facilities around South Africa. The consumers pay for their clean energy directly, through a PPA tariff that is typically 20% lower than Eskom or their municipal provider's rates.
The financed model would allow sectors focused on short-term cost reductions in their Opex budgets, such as FMCG companies, the opportunity to tap into solar power. This would allow reductions in operating costs and in carbon emissions, which are generally very important to industrial sectors. The financed solar PV is provided through a legal arrangement called a Power Purchase Agreement.
What is a PPA?
A commercial solar PPA enables a fully integrated solar photovoltaic system to be installed and provide electricity to the entity through a customised monthly payment plan, typically at a tariff that is 20% lower than Eskom. PPAs can also include the option to take ownership of the PV system at the end of the financed period, with no upfront installation costs. The conditions of power purchase are detailed in the PPA which is negotiated directly with each client to ensure the agreement is workable for both parties.
How do Clean Energy Funds Reduce OPEX?
As mentioned, financed renewable energy projects will enable industrial facilities to access secure and cheaper power, and free up CAPEX for investment into their core business activities. But how does this work?
Over the last few years, reduced costs of embedded electricity generation such as solar PV have interrupted the traditional model of electricity production. In other words, solar PV power is rapidly becoming the cheapest form of power to procure globally. In order to fund solar PV projects, however, large sums of capital are needed in order to permit, design, construct and keep the solar PV operational – similar to a regular utility such as Eskom.
Whilst companies can opt to buy their PV systems outright, through an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) option, there is often little need for the entity to own the PV system themselves, as their main goal could be to reduce their operating expenses. Without available Capex, companies would need to secure financing in order to fund the construction of these projects.
SOLA's PPA offering, through consolidating the finance, design, construction, and operation of solar projects, allows companies to access cheaper finance than procuring it individually. "Operating at scale allows SOLA to provide lower tariffs and more competitive rates, reducing costs of financing," adds Haw.
For large commercial and industrial companies, PPAs enable flexible procurement of electricity, allowing them to consume the cheapest electricity available at a given time whilst also reducing their carbon footprints.
How Financed Solar PV can Support the African Economy
Allowing small-scale, and flexible embedded generation of electricity is a key aspect to transition to a low-carbon economy, as it allows for increased penetration of renewables.
Supporting the further deployment of small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) plants, according to Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Energy Centre, will also create thousands of full-time jobs and help to grow hundreds of small businesses across the country. The SOLA Group currently employs 50 full-time staff members for its South African operations, and the construction of 40 MW of solar PV projects through the fund is likely to create an additional 880 jobs in the coming years.
"The model of electricity generation that incorporates both centralised and distributed electricity will improve the ability for South Africa to meet energy demand, reduce electricity costs and strengthen resilience to outages," concludes Haw.

They say you can't love someone else until you learn to love yourself — and a new survey of singletons seems to reinforce that.
The poll, conducted by online medical service BodyLogicMD, asked 1,300 single adults about why they're still flying solo — and found that the participants were completely beating themselves up.
A whopping 65 percent of respondents said that they blame themselves for being uncoupled. Several also feared they were too flabby for love: 37 percent of women thought they were too fat to attract a partner, while 34 percent of men thought their lack of chiseled abs was at fault.
Other concerns included being too sexually conservative, too boring, too nerdy, too bald, too risk-averse or — the catchall — having too low self-esteem to be in a relationship.
Manhattan-based matchmaker Bonnie Winston said she's surprised that these singles have such low confidence and encourages people to present themselves "in the best light" possible.
"People come to me because … they have had bad luck with people misrepresenting themselves online, whether it's with weight, looks, age or jobs," she told The Post.
That said, not all of the study participants chose to shoulder the weight of the blame. Men, for example, were twice as likely as women to blame the company they kept for their single status. Also, about one in four women declared that they were too intelligent for prospective matches, while nearly 14 percent of men had the same complaint.
Above all, Winston advises singles to be brave, and just get out there more.

Кафе Режанс () у Паризу, је било окупљалиште проминентних играча шаха у Европи тог времена, али и многих познатих личности, како филозофа, писаца, сликара тако и оних који су делили интерес према шаху или најновијим културним трендовима. Дидеро, Волтер, Русо, Робеспјер, Бен Франклин, млади Наполеон, и многи други су ту долазили на које пиће и партију шаха, али и да размене мисли и идеје са својим истомишљеницима.

Историја
Кафе је почео са радом 1681. године и налазио се у близини Лувра, у улици Сен-Онор (). Око 1740. године велики део шаховске клијентеле напушта један други познати кафе, Café Procope, и сели се у кафе Режанс, чиме то место постаје шаховска Мека Париза и целе Европе у 18. и 19. веку.

Након 235 година свог постојања и неколико мењања адреса, једном због великог урбанистичког реновирања целог Париза по наредби Наполеона III Бонапарте, кафе Режанс бива трајно затворен у 1916. години.

Dimension Jumping
Caleb and I have watched "Red Dwarf," a British sci-fi comedy, since he was a baby. It is safe to say that together we have watched each episode at least thirty times, and that the show is more quoted than any other in our home (even Elizabeth is a fan). In one particular episode, the inter-stellar travelers happen upon a dimension jumper from an alternative version of Earth. "Ace" is an inter-dimensional (and better) version of "Rimmer," a somewhat miserable member of the crew. Handsome, daring, intelligent, lovable, and well-dressed in a gold jumpsuit, the blonde-haired Ace is loathed by the lesser, more cowardly version of himself. Confronted by everything he wishes he were but knows he isn't, Rimmer becomes even more pitiful, intent on making Ace the butt of comments and practical jokes. All of this backfires, leaving Rimmer even less likable than he was to begin with.
I am Rimmer, and my son Caleb is my Ace.
But I don't loathe him. I admire him.
In a later episode Ace returns to visit the crew. He is wounded, having been shot while saving a beautiful Princess named Bonjela from the Nazis in yet another dimension. As he is dying, he confesses to Rimmer that he is merely the latest in a long line of "Ace" heros; countless Rimmers from countless dimensions have gone before him, traversing countless dimensions as a brave and beautiful hero. Ace wants Rimmer to take up the mantle and keep the "Ace Rimmer, Space Adventurer" legend alive. He says that "the universe needs a chap to look up to, someone to right wrongs, and just generally be brave, handsome, and all around magnificent." Rimmer laughs at the suggestion that he can become a hero, then scoffs and mocks Ace even further.
"You're just afraid old son, afraid that you're not good enough. You've always wanted to play the hero," replies Ace.
And he is right.
In the end, Rimmer relents, donning the signature gold jumpsuit and a ridiculous blonde wig. He is far from a perfect Ace; his voice isn't deep enough, he doesn't walk with enough swagger, and his personality jumps between the man he wants to be and the man he is trying to leave behind. But he is trying, and he is determined.
Many times I have marveled at the dimensional mix-up that brought Caleb into my life. Seventeen years ago today there was a warping of the veil that divides two dimensional plains. Caleb's spirit, certainly destined for a different sphere (or at least a better father), instead fell to Earth, just north of Seattle. He is a better version of me, more handsome, intelligent, capable, loving, and charming than I ever was or will be. His birth and subsequent example have brought confidence, determination, and adventure to my life. I almost feel like an Ace, rather than an Acehole because of him. No, I don't wear a gold jumpsuit or a blonde wig, my voice is not as deep as I sometimes wish it were, and I sometimes jump between the man I wish to be and the man I am trying to leave behind. (Can we just forget about the swagger altogether?)
But more often than not, I feel like a Space Adventurer.
Thanks, Ace.
Smoke me a clipper, I'll be back for breakfast!

Back on Track?
By J.D. Reed
Last Feb. 2, Farrah Fawcett celebrated her 52nd birthday Texas style. The Corpus Christi native partied at the home of Austin restaurant owners Jeff and Shanny Lott Blank with some 30 of her oldest friends. The actress seemed rested and relaxed. There may be some hard-earned wear on those famous cheekbones, but the megawatt smile and cascade of blonde hair that launched millions of adolescent fantasies in the '70s on Charlie's Angels are still powerfully on display.
The party guests, most of whom attended the University of Texas at Austin with Fawcett in the 1960s, marked the occasion with Dom Pérignon. Throughout the festivities, Fawcett stayed close to an old flame, Greg Lott, 53, whom she had dated in college in the mid-'60s, when he was star quarterback for the Longhorns. The impression that host Jeff Blank, Lott's brother-in-law, had of Fawcett on her Texas trip was of "a person trapped in a celebrity lifestyle trying to get back into art [she sculpts and paints], trying to get away from the Hollywood game."
Perhaps, then, her latest acting role bears an eerie resonance to her life of late. In the TV movie Silk Hope, which airs Oct. 17 on CBS, she plays irreverent, irrepressible Frannie Vaughn, who returns home and decides to stay and save the family farm after the death of her mother. Silk Hope executive producer Beth Poison says Frannie is a woman "who has had too many men, too much sex, too much rock and roll, who has come to a point in her life that's a rude awakening. I'm no genius, but this is good casting."
Fawcett has come to a crossroads of her own. Since 1997, when she parted company with Ryan O'Neal, 58, her live-in love of 17 years, she has seemingly been free-falling into a scandal-filled abyss. That summer began with a wacko Late Show with David Letterman appearance during which Fawcett looked disoriented and sounded incoherent. Seven months later she became involved in headline-making fisticuffs with then-boyfriend producer-director James Orr, 46, an incident that ended in court. Orr was convicted of one count of battery against Fawcett and was given three years probation.
By then the whispered word on movie sets and at industry watering holes was that Fawcett was out of control, maybe having a midlife breakdown or suffering from a substance-abuse problem, which she has vehemently and often denied. "I think she's wiser," says loyal pal Tina Sinatra of Fawcett's past troubles. "It's not a fun arena to cross, but she did it, and she's better for it."
Now, like her Silk Hope character Frannie, Fawcett seems to be regrouping, both emotionally and geographically. She is reconnecting with friends from her pre-Hollywood days and may, in fact, be moving back to Lone Star country. Fawcett has told friends that she wants to spend more time with her family. Her older sister (and only sibling), Diane Walls, 60, suffers from lung cancer, and their elderly mother, Pauline, 84, is ill with a heart condition. "Farrah is being very strong," says her father, James Fawcett, 82. "She'll call almost daily and talk with her mother and sister for almost an hour. She uses her faith in the Lord to help her be strong, especially now."
In workaday Hollywood, Fawcett has not quite over-come her reputation for flaky behavior. "We all had serious reservations," says Silk Hope's Poison of casting Fawcett. "Other producers were saying, 'We went three days over budget'; 'You can't depend on her.' " During filming last May and June, when cast and crew assembled to do a scene, Fawcett would often still be in her trailer. The reason might be that she didn't like a lipstick color or the kind of flower tucked in her hair. Waiting on Fawcett, says costar Brad Johnson, "gets a little old after a while." But, he notes, "as long as people let her get away with it, she'll keep doing it."
Still, most who have worked with Fawcett—who earned a reported $750,000 for Silk Hope—praise her performances. Poison says that on-camera "she's on the money." And Rob Carliner, producer of Robert Duvall's 1997 drama The Apostle, which won Fawcett universal critical praise for her portrayal of an evangelist's estranged wife, says, "If you want to judge her on anything, judge her onscreen. I would hold her performance in The Apostle against any actress working today."
Throughout her troubles, Fawcett has remained a committed—and overworked—mother. She has told friends that sharing Redmond, her 14-year-old son with Ryan O'Neal, is difficult. At the time of the Orr trial, says Tina Sinatra, the headstrong Redmond lived much of the time in Malibu with his father. "There was nobody in Bel Air to play with," says Fawcett's close friend and former manager Jay Bernstein, referring to the sedate community where Farrah has her home.
The boy has had some rough going, which doesn't surprise friends. "The kid's got no discipline," says Bernstein. Redmond, says Sinatra, was "born with the O'Neal temperament. He's a pistol." Marty Katz, producer of 1995's Man of the House, in which Fawcett costarred, told PEOPLE last year, "I don't think Redmond is troubled, but he's looking for a touchstone."
With her son away in boarding school, Fawcett is showing signs that she may indeed move back to Texas. That would be just fine with her dad. Hollywood, he told PEOPLE in 1998, "is all so superficial, and you have to be careful of what you say. I met Burt Reynolds at Farrah's house one time, and I told him he was shorter than what I thought he would be. This was with his heels on, even. Farrah said, 'Daddy, you don't say those kind of things.' That's why I want her out of Hollywood. I thought it was the pits when she moved there, and I still think it's the pits. I told her to sell all her houses. There's plenty of houses in Texas for sale." Last summer, Fawcett seemed to be taking the advice. She sold one of her Bel Air homes—the one she had shared with first husband Lee Majors—for about $2.7 million, and another close by, where she now resides, is on the market for $1.65 million.
As for her love life, there are two versions of what's up with Fawcett these days. Her spokeswoman and other L.A. friends insist she is unattached and not dating anyone seriously. But deep in the heart of Texas, pals tell a different story. The actress and her old college boyfriend Greg Lott, says his brother-in-law Jeff Blank, "are very much a couple. We've had dinner with them on many occasions, and they kissed several times and held hands, or Greg put his arm around Farrah." The pair have even spent time hunting for ranch property around Austin.
Lott is something of a mystery man himself. He was divorced from his wife of nine years last January and had been unemployed for sometime, say friends. He also has a troubled past, according to Texas Monthly and two Texas newspapers. He served a year in federal prison in the '70s after being arrested while driving a truckload of marijuana from Arizona to New York. In 1982 he was arrested on a federal cocaine charge and served three years in prison. Lott, who worked as a drug counselor with inmates after he was released, has been clean and sober for more than a decade. He did not answer PEOPLE'S requests to interview him for this story.
Lott has long carried the torch for his college sweetheart. Last year he hung out with former exotic dancer Tosha Douglas, 32, and often talked to her about Fawcett. "He compared me all the time with Farrah," says Douglas, who claims she declined the older man's advances. "He'd say 'Oh, you look a lot like her in her younger years. You present yourself just like Farrah.' He'd get this faraway look in his eyes when he talked about her. And he finally got it to happen. I think they're just playing off each other's troubles."
There are more troubles, too. Fawcett, says Texas pal Sylvia Longoria Dorsey, is "dealing with her mother's and sister's illnesses. She's got a really strong family, and they're all relying on their inner strength to get them through it." Many friends, however, echo the sentiments of Silk Hope's Poison, who says, "I am truly saddened for her. There are so many changes going on in her life that she does not have time to really deal with. I think she's overwhelmed." Still, the Fawcetts are fighters, and no one is counting Farrah out. During difficult times, says her father, his daughter would say, " 'Daddy, there may be people that try to knock me down, but the Lord has always been there to help me get back up.' "

What Is Wrong With a Car When Power Steering Goes Out?
Having trouble turning your car's steering wheel? The good news is, you haven't lost all your strength. But the bad news is that something in your car's power steering system is out of whack. Most times, it's an easy fix, and you can usually make the diagnosis without the help of a mechanic--as long as you know what you're looking at.
Power steering first made its debut in the 1920s. It made the turning of the steering wheel easier through the combination of a hydraulic system and steering linkages, and can be a real problem when it goes out. The bigger the car, the harder the wheel usually is to turn without power steering.
A power steering pump maintains the pressure on the hydraulic system, which uses power steering fluid to control the movements of valves and pistons, which in turn makes turning the wheel easier. The hydraulic system takes the pressure off the gears and mechanisms, doing most of the work for the wheel as it turns.
Your car's power steering system will stop working if it loses pressure, which is most often the result of a pump failure. Over time, the fluid itself can get contaminated as hoses and other parts of the hydraulic system deteriorate and lose small particles to the fluid. The car could also simply run out of steering fluid if there are leaks in the system.
The simplest repair to make to your car's power steering system is a preventative one: changing the power steering fluid. Doing so can avoid larger problems that come as a result of steering fluid contamination. The power steering pump will tip you off to its eventual weardown by making groaning noises when the steering wheel is most heavily worked, such as during parallel parking. Avoid losing fluid through leaks by routine checks on the steering fluid level---running out could ruin your pump, which is expensive to replace.
If you decide to change the power steering fluid on your own, keep in mind that you can't simply throw away the fluid. Several automotive fluids require you dispose of them at approved locations that handle hazardous materials. You can also call your local automotive shop and see if they will take care of the fluid, which they usually do for a small fee.


New York, September 4, 2012--U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should press Chinese officials in meetings this week to allow international journalists based in China greater access to news events and fewer restrictions of their coverage, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Clinton is scheduled to meet with high-ranking government officials, including President Hu Jintao, his likely successor, Xi Jinping, and Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, to discuss territorial disputes in the South China Sea, among other issues, according to international news reports. The meetings are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
"We're hearing increasingly from international journalists who have been obstructed, attacked, and detained while trying to cover events in China," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "We ask Secretary Clinton to bring these concerns to the attention of the Chinese leadership because constructive international dialogue is dependent on a free flow of information overseas."
Several international journalists have been obstructed in China this year, according to CPJ research. Authorities censored the U.S.-based Bloomberg news agency for reporting on the vice president's family and its financial assets, and Al-Jazeera English correspondent Melissa Chan was forced to leave Beijing when her reporting credentials were not renewed. International journalists are also subjected to intense and sometimes organized harassment on the Internet.
International journalists have spoken out against obstruction. The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China, the Shanghai Foreign Correspondents' Club, and the Foreign Correspondents' Club, Hong Kong circulated a joint statement by email on August 20 citing four incidents of harassment against international reporters. Unnamed journalists from Poland and the United States, as well as employees of Japan's Asahi Shimbun, Hong Kong's Asia Television and ARD German television, were assaulted or detained while reporting between July 28 and August 13, according to the statement. CPJ has not independently confirmed the incidents.
More than 20 German journalists wrote to Chancellor Angela Merkel on August 26 about the deteriorating conditions for the press in China, according to news reports.
Domestic journalists face even worse restrictions and often rely on the foreign press to publicize content that is banned at home, according to CPJ research.

Spanish Language Proficiency Tests
DELE exam (In Spanish: Diploma de Espanol como Lengua Extranjera): Students can prove their Spanish language proficiency by taking DELE test.
TOEFL: Test of English as a Foreign Language- Tests the English language skills and knowledge in an academic context.
IELTS: International English Language Testing System- Tests the English language skills and knowledge of non-native speakers.
The deadline for the fall semester is the first week of June for courses commencing in October and also the first week of September for late applications for classes commencing in October.
The deadline for the spring semester it is the first week of December for courses commencing in February.
Recognition of a Foreign Qualification- "Homologation"
Official recognition called homologation of the foreign higher education qualification is mandatory in the following cases-
If Secondary studies are completed in a country other than EU, Switzerland, Norway, China, Iceland, or Liechtenstein and students want to go for Bachelor degree program at a University in Spain.
If student has completed his/her studies in another country and want to opt for a professional career in Spain, then the University certificates must be officially recognised.
The authority in charge for managing and administering this process is the Department of Qualifications and Recognition of Qualifications (In Spanish: Subdireccion General de Titulos y Reconocimiento de Cualificaciones), of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. The "Solicitud de Homologacion (request for recognition/approval)" is available at:

If you want to stop social networking services from exploiting your likeness for advertising, you've got to start paying up.
PLEASE BUY THESE MARIACHEESEY CHIPS, said my Instagram of them.
Note the key parenthetical -- "(along with any associated metadata)" -- which you could read as "location data." In essence, if you go to the Palms in Las Vegas and snap a pic... Facebook Instagram may use that photograph in an advertisement for the Palms that reaches your friends.
Not that any of this is all that surprising. It's a free service that's been focused on building user engagement, et cetera, in hopes of selling that engagement to advertisers.
Under these conditions, companies have to sell themselves because they do not have a sustainable business. And when they're sold, they either A) get shut down or B) become part of an advertising machine, like Facebook's.
Truly, the only way to get around the privacy problems inherent in advertising-supported social networks is to pay for services that we value. It's amazing what power we gain in becoming paying customers instead of the product being sold.
Here's an alternative version of what Instagram could have done before Facebook purchased them. Instagram has, what, 100 million users? If they got $5 a month from 20 million of those users, they'd be looking at $300 million in quarterly revenue. That's a nice chunk of change when you have a baker's dozen employees. You think those guys could split more than a billion dollars a year and call it good. Or hell, make the user numbers an order of magnitude smaller: 2 million out of 10 million users. That's still $30 million dollars a quarter for 13 guys.


President Donald Trump said Saturday that the controversial memo written by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and other GOP lawmakers "totally vindicates" him — a judgment shared shared by few others in Washington.
"This memo totally vindicates 'Trump' in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on," the president wrote on Twitter. "Their [sic] was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead)."
Democrats and some conservatives said the memo did nothing to delegitimize special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation; if anything, some of them said it confirmed that the probe was not predicated on the anti-Trump dossier that the president and his allies have attacked.
The GOP memo, released on Friday, is based on previously classified material that GOP members of the House Intelligence Committee voted to make public, later receiving the backing of Trump. The document purports to show how FBI and Department of Justice officials abused their surveillance powers when they requested to track former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Trump also touted a Rasmussen poll showing that his approval rating had climbed to 49 percent, which he called "a far better number than I had in winning the Election, and higher than certain 'sacred cows.' Other Trump polls are way up also. So why does the media refuse to write this? Oh well, someday!"
Trump returned to the topic Saturday night, saying people want to talk only about "Russia, Russia, Russia" and not the current positive outlook of the economy. He later quoted from a Wall Street Journal editorial about the memo.

Q: How to catch the HTTP POST request sent by a Shopify Webhook I'm somewhat of a noob, and not afraid to admit that, I'm working on this project as a learning experience to get better with php and serverside script/ing handling.
I'm trying to come up with a way to use Shopify and simultaneously update an off server database every time an order is fulfilled from my Shopify cart. So for example, someone buys something from my online store, I want it to update my home databases inventory to show that it now has one less item.
I've come to the conclusion that the best way to do this would be to setup a webhook notification that sends an HTTP POST request to my server, then I'd have my server catch the POST and parse it into an XML. I will then read the XML via a php script that will update my database.
I dont have a problem with the php, but what I can't seem to figure out is how to catch the webhook on my server. Webhook asks me for a URL to send the POST request to, my question to you is; what is the url?
I've done some research and found that you can catch the POST request a number of ways, through html, php, Access-Control-Allow-Origin, etc. However, since I'm still new to this, I don't really understand exactly how to do these. I've tried with an HTML hidden action form but couldn't seem to get it to catch the XML.
All I want to do is have the webhook send its POST request, and have it caught as a .xml. So that I can read the xml at the end of each day, and update the database accordingly.
If you can think of a better or simpler way to do this, by all means please give me your suggestions. I'd like this to be secure, so methods like Access-Control-Allow-Origin are out of the question.
tl;dr:
What do I have to do on my server to catch a webhook notification? What script should I have on my server to give to the webhook? How do I write the callback script?

A: Sorry, I don't have enough reputation to post comments, but here is the contents of the dead link from Edward Ocampo-Gooding's answer:

PHP Example w/ SimpleXML (PHP 5+)
The script below shows you how to get the XML data in from Shopify into your script, archive the file, and send the proper headers ...
Given that the new order subscription setup in the admin for the webhook is: http://example.com/some-script.php?key=123456789
Contents of some-script.php on http://example.com/:

<?
// Protect URL from rogue attacks/exploits/spiders
// Grab from GET variable as given in Shopify admin URL
// for the webhook
//
// NOTE: This is not necessary, just a simple verification
//
// A digital signature is also passed along from Shopify,
// as is the shop's domain name, so you can use one or both of those
// to ensure a random person isn't jacking with your script (or some
// spider just randomly hitting it to see what's there).
//
// If $key doesn't matched what should be passed in from the
// webhook url, the script simply exits
$key = $_GET['key'];

if ($key != '123456789') {
  header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
  exit();
}

// Variables used for processing/saving
$xmlString = ;  // Used to get data from Shopify into script
$name = ;  // Saves the billing address name to be used for later ...
$email = ;  // Save the email address of the user to be used for later ...
$productTitles = array();  // Saves all titles of products purchased to be used for later ...

// Get XML data and read it into a string for use with SimpleXML
// Thanks to David Oxley (http://www.numeriq.co.uk) for help with this
$xmlData = fopen('php://input' , 'rb');
while (!feof($xmlData)) { $xmlString .= fread($xmlData, 4096); }
fclose($xmlData);

// Save order XML in file in orders directory
// This creates a file, write the xml for archival purposes, and closes the file ...
// If the file already exists, it appends the data ... this should create a separate
// file for every order but if two orders are processed the same second, they'll both
// be in the same file
file_put_contents('orders/order' . date('m-d-y') . '-' . time() . '.xml', $xmlString, FILE_APPEND);

// Use SimpleXML to get name, email, and product titles
// SimpleXML allows you to use the $xml object to easily
// retrieve the data ...
// Please note, if hyphens are used in the xml node, you must
// surround the call to that member with {'member-name'} as is
// shown below when getting the billing-address name & the
// line items
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString);

$name = trim($xml->{'billing-address'}->name);
$email = trim($xml->email);

// Create productTitles array with titles from products
foreach ($xml->{'line-items'}->{'line-item'} as $lineItem) {
  array_push($productTitles, trim($lineItem->title));
}

// You would then go on using $name, $email, $productTitles in your script
// to do whatever the heck you please ...

// Once you are done doing what you need to do, let Shopify know you have
// the data and all is well!
header('HTTP/1.0 200 OK');
exit();

// If you want to tell Shopify to try sending the data again, i.e. something
// failed with your processing and you want to try again later
header('HTTP/1.0 400 Bad request');
exit();
?>

A: Create a public URL at http://example.com/whatever.php, where example.com is your domain name and whatever.php is a PHP file that you can edit.
Then put this code into whatever.php:
<?php
$webhookContent = "";

$webhook = fopen('php://input' , 'rb');
while (!feof($webhook)) {
    $webhookContent .= fread($webhook, 4096);
}
fclose($webhook);

error_log($webhookContent);
?>

Then in the Shopify admin you can create a new webhook and point it at http://example.com/whatever.php, and when you click the 'test webhook' button in the Shopify admin, Shopify will POST to your script above, which should in turn write the body of the webhook to your PHP error log.

A: It sounds like you're most familiar with PHP, so I'll answer based on that.
You need a PHP script/page that's accessible as a public URL that can take the data sent in the HTTP POST Shopify sends you and turn it into the form your database wants.
Here's an example of what that PHP script could look like: http://wiki.shopify.com/WebHook#PHP_Example_w.2F_SimpleXML_.28PHP_5.2B.29

A: To answer your question about the URL, this is the endpoint on your server that is going to handle receiving the webhook. This is pretty straightforward to set up with most web frameworks, it just needs to handle the post request and respond with a 200 OK.
Once you have an endpoint set up on your server you can create the webhook on shopify with the URL being the endpoint on the webserver.

A: Shopify webhook doesn't passed data using the common GET or POST request method. You can use the fopen() method in PHP and pass in the php://input stream.
Suppose you create a webhook for cart update and set URL http://example.com/cart_update_hook.php then put the following code in cart_update_hook.php to get the data sent by shopify webhook.
<?php
$webhookContent = "";
$webhook = fopen('php://input' , 'rb');
while (!feof($webhook)) {
    $webhookContent .= fread($webhook, 4096);
}
fclose($webhook);
$data = json_decode($webhookContent, true);
//do whatever you want with the data
?>

Q: Windows Rhapsody c++ project - Failed to connect to Visual Studio We are just starting out with Rhapsody 8.2.1 and we are trying to link it to VisualStudio 2012 and windows 7.
On my PC I have MSVS 2012 and 2013.
I have checked various answers out there which got me to fix / check:

*

*I have setup MSVS 2012 with the Rhapsody add-in and I can see it in the add-in manager.

*I have setup my visual studio configuration in Rhapsody, with the correct IDEVersion (v11).

*I have not got any Windows UAC settings blocking.

*We have tried to uninstall / Re-install Rhapsody.
I can generate the code files, but when I try to run make I get the error: "Failed to connect to Visual Studio". I have not found any solutions to this yet - any pointers appreciated.
note: VisualStudio 2012 application does open - but its blank (no project / files are open).

A: do you see Rhapsody addin path in VS Tools/Options/Add-in/Macros Security list? It should include something like \VisualStudio\VisualStudio2012 value.
Regards,Vladimir

A: did you check Rhapsody box in Tools->Add-Ins manager window?
Another question: which CPP_CG.MSVC.IDEVersion property value is set in your Rhapsody VisualStudio configuration? Its default value is VC10 and Rhapsody will look for VS 2010, if you didn't change it to VC11.
Regards,
Vladimir

As the economy continues its slow recovery, companies are starting to hire again. Naturally, there is a need to discover talented candidates that can fill newly-created positions. One of the standard ways to accomplish this goal is to build and maintain a candidate pipeline. However, these pipes can leak severely if care is not taken to keep the best candidates there. Theoretically, the pipeline is filled with people who are currently employed and not actively seeking a career change. In practice, the mere suggestion of a new position can get a candidate thinking about a move even if they are happy where they are.
It is important to be up front with the candidate, and let them know exactly what you're doing. This establishes trust and prevents a backlash from candidates who thought they were responding to a currently available position. It is the opposite of the sales technique of emphasizing urgency. Here, the candidate should be assured that they are only prospecting at the moment and not making an immediate change. However, you cannot become complacent!
Take the time to contact your candidates on a regular basis. And time is the element. You have to devote the time to reach the candidates, and if you wait too long between contacts, the candidate may lose interest or find another job. Thus, one must not keep too many candidates in the pipeline or the success rate may plummet. And while they're in the pipeline, take the necessary steps to pre-screen them so that when a position comes open, the hiring process can move forward quickly and efficiently.
So, how to keep the pipeline flowing and minimize leaks? Use that sense of urgency that you held back from the candidate and apply it to the hiring manager. It is easy for hiring managers to be complacent in this economy, but they need to know that candidates in the pipeline will not stay there forever, and when qualified candidates are found, it is important to take action to bring these people onboard. Of course, agency recruiters have an extra avenue to pursue: a candidate growing impatient with one company's slow hiring process can be offered to another company that moves expediently.
Whether we admit it or not, recruiting is a sales job, and many of the techniques that make a successful salesperson are identical with those that make a successful recruiter. One of my earliest sales coaches passed on her mantra to me and I've used it ever since: Objections are buying signs. She elaborated that even with the hoariest of all objections (the dreaded "I'm not interested"), if they are still on the phone, they are still willing to talk. By engaging the other person in a directed conversation, and answering their objections in a thoughtful concise way, the salesperson can convince their target to consider the proposition being offered. Here are a few tips on how to get a potential candidate to listen to your offer.
An immediate "I'm not interested" or "you're the fifth recruiter to call me today" can shut down a conversation before it even starts. Some recruiters just ignore these early objections and move on with their pitch, while others respond with a quick witty remark or ask permission to tell about their position before the potential candidate makes a decision. Your personality has to be a big part of your approach on the phone, so use what works best for you, and be willing to adapt your approach to the candidate's reactions.
Now give a brief synopsis of the job you're offering, but don't mention the compensation. Next, ask them about their job history and their salary. You'll need to know their salary, or at the very least, their salary expectations before telling them the compensation for the position you're offering. Otherwise, you won't know if the position you have will fit their financial needs. If the salary is lower than what the potential candidate currently makes, ask them a few probing questions about their previous employers to see if their contentment at a job is centered only on money, or by other factors. Also, try to compare benefits, commissions, bonuses and the like to get a realistic take on the total compensation package.
If the compensation question doesn't come up right away, ask about the potential candidate's personal career goals, and determine whether their current job fits those objectives. Depending on their age and career level, time may be the best argument for changing positions. If they want to move up in the world, they can't afford to spend their time in a stagnant position.

Pomona man sentenced to life in prison for fiery Christmas killing of his children's mother
Clarence Durell Dear (Pomona Police Department)
PUBLISHED: November 30, 2022 at 7:58 p.m. | UPDATED: December 1, 2022 at 10:16 a.m.
POMONA — A man who doused the mother of his four children with gasoline and set her on fire during a domestic dispute in Pomona on Christmas Day 2015 was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Clarence Durell Dear, 58, was convicted in October of first-degree murder, and jurors found true a special-circumstance allegation of murder involving the infliction of torture of Dawn Hensley.
Deputy District Attorney Phil Stirling said two of the couple's sons — who were 12 and 19 at the time — witnessed the crime.
The 41-year-old woman was chased, doused with gasoline and lit on fire with a cigarette lighter, then kicked while she was on the ground, Stirling said.
Dear testified in his own defense during the trial and contended that the woman informed him she had been sexually assaulting him for 24 years as he slept and that he killed her in self-defense, according to the prosecutor, who called the testimony "preposterous."
"This was clearly a desperate effort to make up a story to avoid being convicted," Stirling said after the verdict.
Pomona police officers responded to the 1500 block of Cordova Street the afternoon of Dec. 25, 2015, to reports that someone had been set on fire.
"Neighbors who saw the victim run from the residence engulfed in flames rendered assistance as she collapsed on the street and remained with her until L.A. County fire personnel arrived," Pomona police Sgt. Bert Sanchez said soon afterward.

Hensley died shortly after being taken to a hospital.
Dear was arrested without incident two days later after officers were tipped off that he had boarded a Metro bus in Altadena. He has remained behind bars without bail since then.
Anyone experiencing or at risk of domestic violence can obtain help by calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233.

Just another Mani Monday! Happy Monday lovelies, the week has begun again and the countdown to the weekend is once again on!
This Mani Monday I have swatches and a review of the gorgeous Barry M Molten Metals in Copper Mine. Barry M know how to do seasons and this is no exception. It's a gorgeous copper with sparkly silver undertones that make it so perfect for Autumn.
The Molten Metals range sets itself apart from the usual Barry M bottles with a textured bronze lid and a funky font to plaster the name of the collection across the bottle.
In the bottle, the colour looks like copper glitter, but on application silver sparkles show through which I did not expect at all, but it was a welcome surprise as it is very pretty on. Unfortunately this doesn't show very well on the photos.
Application is super easy as the brush covers most of the nail and allows neat finishing at the cuticles.
Drying time is quite quick with 2 coats which is a great if you need a quick mani.
The finish is a very shiny sparkle rather than glitter and is smooth to touch which I wasn't expecting but it makes it so much easier to work with and you still get the sparkle without the hassle!
If you've been reading my nail posts for a while now you will know I have a hate hate relationship with nail varnishes in that they hate my nails and just do not stay on no matter what the brand or the finish.
So I was pleasantly surprised that these lasted a whole day and only chipped a tiny bit and I kept it on a total of 3 days before it needed to come off. The chips were only at the tips and weren't that noticeable due to the colour and finish of the polish so I could get away with it for a couple of days.
As it isn't a glitter finish it removes easily enough with nail varnish remover, albeit it is a bit tougher than most plain colours.
I love that this polish provides a quick autumn sparkle that is subtle enough when it begins to chip which is a big bonus for me. I've reached for it a couple of times now so that definitely shows its a good one!
This is £3.99 and there are 4 other colours in the range. Get it from Boots here (with a free limited edition palette when you spend £7.50 at the mo) and Superdrug here (on 3 for 2 atm).
Have you tried this or any other shade from the Molten Metal range? Let me know in the comments below!

Rezumat

Tânărul Michael Brower, la sfatul unui prieten, cumpără un joc video pentru computer "Brain Scanning". Jocul pătrunde în mintea sa subconștientă printr-un semnal de televiziune, forțându-l să se regăsească în realitatea virtuală, care nu diferă de lumea reală. Conform intrigii jocului, Michael trebuie să omoare un bărbat și să-i taie piciorul, astfel încât un narator invizibil pe nume Trickster, să ia în calcul finalizarea sarcinii. A doua zi, la știri, Michael află despre crima brutală care a avut loc în blocul următor și, uitându-se în frigiderul său, găsește piciorul omului ucis. Michael își dă seama cu groază că aceea crimă din joc s-a întâmplat cu adevărat și, mai mult, el este cel care a comis-o. În același timp, Trickster părăsește misterios televizorul și îl obligă pe Michael să continue jocul, amenințând că dacă refuză îl va preda poliției, reprezentată de detectivul Hayden.

However, it is important to note that can some car dealers have always been less than honest, and should try to scam prospective buyers who trade in the company's current cars to become towards the price of a real new vehicle.

Best year for Porsche Panamera
Written by Marko Mikulic in Porsche Last Updated December 22, 2022
1 2015 Porsche Panamera
4.1 Should I buy a Porsche Panamera?
4.2 What is the best Porsche Panamera model?
4.3 Why did Porsche make the Panamera?
The Porsche Panamera is a flagship Porsche luxury car intended for those who want to enjoy an exciting driving experience with all the luxury and comfort amenities included. This means that the Porsche Panamera is a car that tries to offer you a driving experience similar to those you get from a 911, but having the ability to fit four adults comfortably is an added bonus.
The Panamera debuted in 2010 and has continuously been a really popular car. The best Porsche Panamera model year is likely the 2015 model, especially from a value standpoint. It's also good to know that the 2015 model is also reliable and most people who bought them are more than satisfied with them.
The 2022 Porsche Panamera is the most advanced and likely the best Panamera to ever come out. It gets all the modern technology, safety, and comfort amenities which means that it offers a top-of-the-line experience. You can also consider the 2012 model if you want to save a bit of money because the 2012 Panamera is now a bargain.
No matter which Panamera you go for, you ought to do a pre-purchase inspection as these cars are high-maintenance cars. Any faults and problems that weren't taken care of early are likely going to add up in the future and cost a lot more money to fix.
The 2015 Porsche Panamera is listed as the best model year of the Panamera on many online sources. These state that the 2015 model is incredibly reliable and new enough not to feel dated. This means that the overall ownership experience isn't really any different from the models that came after it. Porsche is a brand known for making incremental updates which means that older models don't seem all that old.
Which Porsche has more than 2 seats?
The 2015 Panamera is also the last Panamera model based on the 970 chassis which means that most issues that plagued early 970 chassis models have been taken care of before the 2015 Panamera came out. This means that there are fewer issues that can be had with the 2015 model which is certainly a good thing because fixing a Panamera is not cheap.
Lastly, we need to mention the fact that the 2015 Panamera has an incredible value for money index which kind of makes buying a 2015 Panamera very easy. The car has depreciated quite a bit in the last 7 years which means that these can be had for a really attainable price.
If money is no object and you just want the best Panamera there is, the 2022 facelifted 2nd generation model is definitely the best one to buy. It gets all the latest Porsche features which make the car feel incredibly plush and luxurious. The 2022 model is somewhat of a culmination of everything that came before it which also favors reliability.
As such, the 2022 Panamera reliability results seem to be predominantly positive as is the case with customer feedback. There are loads of models to choose from including the gorgeous Panamera Sport Turismo model which is even more practical than the regular Panamera Coupe.
The performance of the 2022 model is unmatched by any Panamera model year that came before it. The car is also covered by a warranty which means that you shouldn't worry about spending your own money if something goes wrong.
Is the Porsche 944 reliable?
If we rewind time back to 2012, the Panamera was widely considered to be a bit weird. Some people never understood why the Panamera even exists any why Porsche is so adamant about making luxury cars such as the Panamera and the Cayenne SUV. However, these two models helped Porsche through a crisis as the sales were much more promising than those of the 911 and the Cayman/Boxster.
The 2012 Panamera is now a 10-year-old car which means that it simply can't be as reliable as some newer Panamera models are. Either way, well-kept examples with full service-history records are certainly worth considering. The main reason why you should consider the 2012 model is the price.
The reality is that a 2012 Panamera can now be had for less money than some economy-level hatchbacks which are ridiculous considering what the Panamera is. The design might not be the best, but if you don't hate it, you will adore how comfortable and plus the 2012 Panamera is today.
Should I buy a Porsche Panamera?
If you are after a comfortable, luxurious, and desirable luxury car, the Porsche Panamera seems to be a really good consideration. The reason why the Panamera is so beloved by many owners is that it feels as comfortable and luxurious as some full-size luxury limousines, but it drives better than 99% of mid-size luxury sedans.
The Panamera is a car that can do it all because it is fun to drive, it is comfortable, it is safe, it is luxurious, it is desirable, and is really plush.
Is Porsche Cayenne the same as VW Touareg?
What is the best Porsche Panamera model?
The regular Porsche Panamera is all you will ever need because it is the cheapest, most fuel-efficient, and even the most sophisticated one of the bunch. If you love fast cars, you will love the Panamera Turbo lineup, especially the new E-Hybrid Turbo models that can outrun supercars of a standing start and do a quarter-mile time incredibly quickly.
If you want an EV, you should consider the Porsche Taycan as it offers an experience really similar to the Panamera. The Panamera GTS offers a perfect blend of performance, luxury, and aggressive styling. All in all, there really are no "bad" Panamera models to speak off.
Why did Porsche make the Panamera?
Many people were left wondering what is going on when Porsche came out with the Panamera as Porsche is not a brand known for making luxury cars, at least not 10 years ago. However, the 2000s were a difficult time for Porsche due to financial trouble and they decided to expand their lineup to include a few luxury offerings.
That is why Porsche came out with the 2nd gen Cayenne which singlehandedly got Porsche out of trouble. It just seemed too lucrative to design luxury cars in addition to well-known Porsche sports cars and that is why the Panamera came to be.

San Francisco to become first US city to require vaccine proof for indoor venues
Currently 77% of San Francisco's nearly 900,000 residents have received at least one dose of vaccine, and 71% are fully vaccinated.

San Francisco is poised to become the first US city to demand proof of full vaccination against Covid-19 to access indoor dining and entertainment venues, officials announced Thursday.
Bars, restaurants, night clubs, theatres, fitness centres and other establishments in this large Californian city will require visitors to present vaccination certificates to enter starting Aug 20. For staff, the measure will take effect in October.
"Why are we doing this? It's to protect the workers, it's to protect kids, it's to protect those who can't get vaccinated," Mayor London Breed said at a press conference.
She added, "We know that for our city to bounce back from the pandemic and thrive, we need to use the best method we have to fight Covid-19 and that's vaccines."
The rule will not affect children under 12 as they are not eligible for immunisation in the US.
Currently 77% of San Francisco's nearly 900,000 residents have received at least one dose of vaccine, and 71% are fully vaccinated.
White House pandemic response coordinator Jeff Zients on Thursday spoke in favour of vaccination requirements, saying they are gaining momentum across the country.
"They will help keep people and communities safe and help stop the spread of the virus," Zients said at a press briefing at the White House.
New York announced a similar vaccine mandate last week, requiring proof of at least one Covid shot for indoor dining and entertainment. The measure will take effect in September.
New Orleans, a popular tourist city in the state of Louisiana, is also expected to announce a vaccine mandate for indoor dining and sports activities, according to NOLA.com, a local media outlet.

I look forward to Stephen playing a significant role in helping us to expand our business influence and contribute to the growth of UK exports."
