La Volvo 244 Blue Star est née en 1978. Il s'agit d'une Volvo 244DL dotée de quelques équipements réservés à la version GL. Elle était réservée aux marchés français, du Benelux et de la Scandinavie. Une version légèrement différente a été proposée au marché allemand sous l'appellation 244 DLC.

En effet, dès 1978, Volvo a opéré une amélioration de ses séries 240 et 260, en offrant une calandre à feux carrés à l'avant. Auparavant, bien que des modifications substantielles aient été opérées au châssis, la carrosserie était l'héritière directe des séries 140 nées en 1967, soit 9 ans plus tôt.

Rappelons que le modèle 242 (berline 2 portes) était proposé en versions L et DL, et que les modèles 244 (berline 4 portes) et 245 (break 5 portes) étaient proposés en versions L, DL et GL.

Les versions L se distinguaient principalement par le moteur : le B19A, d'une cylindrée de 1986 cm³, à un carburateur, et développant 66 kW. L'équipement intérieur était spartiate.

Les versions DL concernent également principalement le moteur : B21A, d'une cylindrée de 2127 cm³, à un carburateur, et développant 74 kW. L'équipement intérieur est amélioré avec la présence d'une montre, de vide-poches supplémentaires…

Les versions GL concernent non seulement un moteur plus puissant, le B21E, d'une cylindrée de 2127 cm³, à injection, développant 90 kW, mais également l'équipement : sièges en cuir, compte-tours, jantes plus larges, direction assistée, et « overdrive » sur la .

Volvo a décidé de terminer la vie de la 244 de première version en créant un modèle intermédiaire entre la version DL et GL. Si la motorisation demeure celle de la version DL, l'équipement est celui de la DL avec les améliorations suivantes :
 Peinture bleu clair métallisée (la même était auparavant utilisée pour les 265 GL)
 Compte-tours
 Revêtement de sièges en velours bleu
 Aération « style GL », commandes pneumatiques
 Essuie-glace à fonctionnement intermittent
 Ceintures de sécurité arrière
 Volant « style GL »
 Jantes « style GL »
 Miroir de courtoisie dans le vide-poche
 Vide-poche éclairé
 Rappel de témoin de ceinture de sécurité à l'arrière

La Blue Star a été fabriquée à une centaine d'exemplaires dans le Benelux. Il en demeure une dizaine en circulation.

À noter que la version « Blue Star » a été commercialisée en Allemagne et dans les pays nordiques sous l'appellation 244 DLS. La boîte de vitesses était systématiquement dotée d'un « overdrive » Laycock-de-Normanville (M46) alors que ceci était une option sur le modèle commercialisé dans le Benelux, où elle était commercialisée dotée d'une boîte à quatre rapports (M45).

Q: Modernizr vs HTML shiv If I ONLY need older browsers to recognize HTML5 tags, which should I use, Modernizr or the popular HTML5 shiv?
And also, if I don't need to style this HTML5 tags, do I need the browsers to recognize them anyways? Or is it only necessary when adding CSS to these tags?
Thanks!

A: html5shiv basically allows IE to recognize and style HTML5 elements, while Modernizr provides the same plus feature detection supported by a broswer.
So to answer your question HTML5 shiv should be sufficient to recognize HTML5 tags in IE. (note I say IE here since that is what the html5shiv targets, not sure what you mean when you say older browsers)
For the second part, even if you don't want to style the HTML5 tags, I would advice to use the shiv since the browser may either display them incorrectly, or not at all, so it is better to be safe.

A: HTML5 Shiv is smaller, and unless you need some of Modernizr's detection functionality, go for the shiv.
The size of the file is very important, since it is always in the head of the html document and blocks the download of additional resources until fully executed.
Since it is only needed for older browsers, I use the following code:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

You can remove the html tags you don't use, but then you will be unable the use the file hosted at Google.

A: You can alternatively use Modernizr to load a particular file if browser supports that particular CSS or HTML5 features.
Let say if the browser doesn't support 'canvas' as HTML5 element and 'fontface' as CSS3 property
Modernizr.load({
test: Modernizr.fontface && Modernizr.canvas, // Test if the browser supports it or not
yep : '/path-to/html5-css3-attributes.css',  // If browser supports it, load this file
nope: '/path-to/old-css-attributes.css' // If NOT, load this instead
});

You can use .js also in your file path condition.

If you're one of those folks who doesn't like to see a tat sleeve, keep this in mind: The more tattoos you get, the more your body gets used to the painful process, effectively bolstering your immune system. At least that's the idea behind a new research from University of Alabama researchers.
In the study, recently publicized in the American Journal of Human Biology, 29 subjects aged 18 to 47 were examined before and after tattoo sessions. Specifically, their saliva was analyzed for the levels of immunoglobulin A and cortisol levels it contained; this antibody and hormone both indicate stress. (Many studies have shown that stress weakens a body's immune system and makes it more susceptible to sickness.) The researchers hypothesized that tattoo veterans, whose bodies were repeatedly exposed to the stress of being tattooed, would be less affected by the process than tattoo virgins. Indeed, the findings showed that the tat vets' immune systems had less signs of stress and reduced activity during the tattoo session than those of the newbies.
These results aren't necessarily surprising. Think about the first few times you lifted weights or went for a run. Your body was likely sore and stiff afterward, but the more you performed these activities, the more your body acclimated to them, and the less pain and discomfort you felt. That's basically what's happening during repeated tattoo sessions. What is novel about the study is that it focused on the body's immune system and stress as it relates to tattooing, something not previously studied.
The experiment also implied that people with hearty immune systems are more likely to get multiple tats, as their bodies heal quickly from the process. In other words, people sporting a wealth of tattoos on their bodies are likely to be folks with strong immune systems. So perhaps frequent tattooing doesn't so much provide an immunity boost as serve as a marker for those who are healthier than most.
Lynn cautions not to put too much emphasis on the study's results. At least not yet. The sample was small and pretty homogeneous; subjects were largely young, middle-class, white, educated and in committed relationships. The tattoo facilities were also clean. But Lynn plans to build on his work by studying Samoan tattoos, which are created with objects such as sharp sticks, and often in less-sanitary conditions than that found in many American tattoo parlors.
Male Maori of New Zealand were long famed for their full-face tattoos, called mokos. These tattoos, created by carving the skin with a chisel, indicated a man's status and heritage. Long before mokos became popular, the Maori were master carvers; they simply transferred their woodcarving skills from wood to skin.
Ta Moko was like a history of a person's achievements and represented their status in their tribe.
It was like a resumé. It also served as a reminder to people about their responsibility in life. It was a huge honour for people to have Ta Moko.
Ta Moko was worn by both men and women. It was applied to the face and buttocks of men, and to the chin, lips and shoulders of women. Depending on their ranking, they may also have Ta Moko on their face. Occasionally women would put small markings over their faces or shoulders as a sign that someone close to them had died.
There were no set patterns to the Ta Moko and the meaning of the Ta Moko was dependent on its placement on the face. The left side of the face related to the father's history and the right side to the mother's history.
Originally, Ta Moko was chiselled into the skin using an albatross bone. The pigmentations used were Carui gum and dye from other vegetation that was rendered to a soot and then mixed with oil. Each tribal area used different pigments.
One day a Maori chief, Mataora, was visited by young people from Rarohenga (the underworld). With them was the daughter of the underworld ruler Uetonga. Her name was Niwareka and Mataora fell in love with her. They got married and were happy together until one day Mataora became jealous of Niwareka and was angry enough to hit her. So she returned home to the underworld. Mataora, grieving over his actions, followed her to Uetonga's house. Uetonga was practising tattooing and agreed to tattoo Mataora, whose face was only painted. During the tattooing, Mataora sung of his sorrow and his search for Niwareka in the underworld. Niwareka heard the news and returned to him. Then permission was granted for Mataora's return to the upper world. His tattooing served as a reminder to avoid the evil actions of the upper world. He brought tattooing to the upper world and Niwareka brought a woven girdle from the underworld and so introduced the art of weaving.

Cheerleader Gifts herself Valentine's Breast Augmentation for Upcoming Auditions
Leave a Comment / Before-After, Celebrity Plastic Surgery
HOUSTON, TX; – Valentine's Day; time for flowers, candy, and love. And for some: their heart's desire of receiving the gift of breast implants this year.
Read the story and watch the video as featured on Story Trender http://www.storytrender.com/85893/leader-of-the-rack-dancer-spends-7k-buying-herself-a-boob-job-for-valentines-day-in-the-hope-to-become-a-professional-cheerleader/
Just in time to say "I love you," 23-year-old Taylor decided to fulfill her dream of getting breast implants as a Valentine's gift for herself this year and scheduled her breast augmentation with Dr. Franklin Rose last Friday, February 8th. Using a technique he has perfected, Dr. Rose had Taylor ready to get back in the game with a quick recovery from her breast implant surgery in less than a week's time. See her before and after photo below only THREE DAYS after surgery!

Taylor came to Dr. Rose with a goal. Having a lifelong background in dance and cheerleading, she plans compete for the upcoming professional sports team cheerleader tryouts this April. "I LOVE MYSELF, but I just feel like I wanted a little more, you know…for a long time and Dr. Rose was able to give my breasts a lift and take me from a B to a full C cup-still looking natural and not over-done," says Taylor. "I liked my breasts, but I wasn't in love with them. Now I am in love! I definitely did this for myself, nobody else," said Taylor. "I just I think it will help motivate me and make me feel more confident in the competition, so Valentine's seemed like the perfect time to gift these for myself to boost my self-esteem."
"Over the years, I've had a steady stream of boyfriends and husbands coming into the office to purchase breast implants for their spouse or girlfriend for Valentine's Day, but more often it is the women who would like to have this done" said plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose of Houston.
"This year looks to be an especially busy year for breast implants," Rose added. "It's been a cold, rainy winter and I think a lot of people are looking forward to putting on a swimsuit and heading to the beach this summer."
Rose, who has performed more than 6,000 silicone and saline-gel breast implant procedures, says it's almost always women who suggest plastic surgery as something they would like as a gift.
"For many women, breast implants are something they secretly desire but are just too embarrassed to take the plunge and get them," Rose said. "In many cases, it's the fulfillment of a lifelong dream."

Charlie Hebdo and French Government Islamophobia
By Dr. Reza Pankhurst | Sep 27, 2012 | Europe, Middle East, Viewpoints | 2 |
After the reaction to the anti-Islam film "The Innocence of Muslims", it was only a matter of time before the next deliberate provocation added fuel to the fire. The French magazine Charlie Hebdo duly obliged, last week publishing cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammad on September 19 in what was considered by many Muslims worldwide as a further gratuitous affront to Islam. The magazine has previously engaged in incitement, when last year it printed offensive cartoons ridiculing Islam while then announcing that its edition would be guest-edited by the Prophet Mohammad, leading to its office being firebombed in November 2011.
In this instance, the French government responded quickly, understanding that in the context of protests against foreign embassies across the World French interests abroad could be threatened. A number of French embassies across the Middle East were duly closed over the last weekend, and the French Prime Minister also expressed his "disapproval of any excess", while stating that "the freedom of speech makes up one of the fundamental principles of [the French] republic". This response echoed the position of American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she expressed her personal disapproval of the anti-Islam film that has caused the initial wave of protests, while confirming the right for it to be made, published and promoted in the United States.
These events cannot be taken out of the political context of the last ten years, where Muslims across the World have been subjected to the so-called "war on terror", the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan where the killing of innocent civilians by NATO troops is still a regular occurrence, the illegal imprisonment and torture of thousands in facilities such as Bagram, Abu Ghraib, and Guantanamo Bay, and the extra-judicial killings carried out in several Muslim countries by CIA Predator drones. At the same time Western governments like the United States, France, and Britain gave political support and sometimes collaborated in illegal rendition and torture with an assortment of dictators across the Middle-East and beyond, such as Moammar al-Gaddafi and Hosni Mubarak while they were in place, a fact conveniently forgotten by Western politicians and certain media outlets in their collective amnesia when addressing the new Middle East. People in the region feel vulnerable, and along with being the victims of political violence they have also witnessed news of Quran burnings whether by the American military or right wing pastors, the denigration of the Quran at Guantanamo bay, along with a growing amount of media production in terms of films and cartoons deliberating insulting the sanctified elements of their religion.
In France specifically, baiting Islam and Muslims is something of a national pastime for politicians, with their banning of the Niqab (face-covering) the most prominent example of the restriction of their proclaimed freedoms when it applies to Islam. This came after the banning of the wearing of Islamic head-coverings in French schools, forcing Muslim students in France to either compromise their education or Islamic principles.
It is far-fetched for French media like Charlie Hebdo to claim it is a bastion of absolute free speech when it previously condemned one of its own cartoonists, Maurice Sinet, for writing a biting article about Nicholas Sarkozy's son which appeared to denigrate him for marrying a Jewish heiress for money. Sinet was subsequently sacked for refusing to apologize. So much for principles when domestic political sensitivities are involved – and yet showing sensitivity to a billion or so Muslims around the World is apparently an affront to their secularism.
It is the French government that has the most to answer for in creating this climate of hypocrisy and hatred, where Islam and Muslims appear to be regularly targeted under the banner of an illusionary "freedom", and Muslims are then banned from protesting in response. When the French Prime Minister states that the magazine's cartoons are "expressed within the confines of the law and under the control of the courts", it can be pointed out that the French senate passed a bill earlier this year which bans denial of genocide recognised by French law, a clear indication of the willingness to restrict expression for political reasons. Ironically, the political target in this case is the Turkish government, and the event referred to is the killing of Armenians in 1915-16 during the final few years of the Ottoman State, the last formal representation of the Islamic political model of the Caliphate.
French interaction with the Ottoman State and the freedom to insult Islamic sensibilities has its own peculiar history. Towards the end of the 19th century, the French government banned the dramatization of a play entitled "Mahomet" in deference to the representations made by the Ambassador of the Ottoman Caliphate. Fearful of pushing the Ottoman Caliphate further into the arms of the German empire, France's continental neighbor and competitor, principles quickly gave way to realpolitik. And in this event, one of the reasons behind the frustrations of Muslims who have taken to the streets can be understood. If today there was such a political entity which represented the Islamic viewpoint regarding these issues, Muslims worldwide could look to it to take firm stances in their interests, and it can be dealt with at a state level as history attests. In the absence of such a government, people take to the streets to express their anger, a sight that is likely to become more visible in the new Middle East without the same Western backed dictators such as Hosni Mubarak around anymore to keep them in check.

It may be of interest and some amusement to the reader that some "defenders of freedom" and our "western values" that are listed bellow: Alexandre Adler (historien) ; Elisabeth Badinter (philosophe) ; Robert Badinter (sénateur) ; Pascal Bruckner (écrivain et philosophe) ; Hélène Cixous ; Bertrand Delanoë (maire de Paris) ; Jean-Claude Gayssot (vice-président de la région Languedoc-Roussillon) ; Blandine Kriegel (philosophe) ; Claude Lanzmann (cinéaste) ; Daniel Leconte ; Pierre Lescure (directeur du Théâtre Marigny) ; Bernard-Henri Lévy ; Daniel Mesguich (directeur du Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique) ; Ariane Mnouchkine (metteur en scène) ; Elisabeth Roudinesco (historienne) ; Joann Sfar (dessinateur) ; Dominique Sopo (président de SOS-racisme) ; Fred Vargas (écrivain) ; Dominique Voynet (sénatrice) ; Elie Wiesel (Prix Nobel de la paix), condemned Sinet for his article on Jean Sarkozy in Charlie Hebdo.

A Muslim bombing a building is a terrorist, but an American soldier or any other westerner allied to Uncle Sam who bombs a building is a criminal or a person mentally unstable, but never a terrorist. Where is the balance?

A complex system perspective on the emergence and spread of infectious diseases: integrating economic and ecological aspects
Ceddia, G., Bardsley, N., Nocella, G., Goodwin, R., Stasi, A. and Holloway, G. (2013) A complex system perspective on the emergence and spread of infectious diseases: integrating economic and ecological aspects. Ecological Economics, 90. pp. 124-131. ISSN 0921-8009
Text - Accepted Version
To link to this item DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2013.03.013
The emergence and spread of infectious diseases reflects the interaction of ecological and economic factors within an adaptive complex system. We review studies that address the role of economic factors in the emergence and spread of infectious diseases and identify three broad themes. First, the process of macro-economic growth leads to environmental encroaching, which is related to the emergence of infectious diseases. Second, there are a number of mutually reinforcing processes associated with the emergence/spread of infectious diseases. For example, the emergence and spread of infectious diseases can cause significant economic damages, which in turn may create the conditions for further disease spread. Also, the existence of a mutually reinforcing relationship between global trade and macroeconomic growth amplifies the emergence/spread of infectious diseases. Third, microeconomic approaches to infectious disease point to the adaptivity of human behavior, which simultaneously shapes the course of epidemics and responds to it. Most of the applied research has been focused on the first two aspects, and to a lesser extent on the third aspect. With respect to the latter, there is a lack of empirical research aimed at characterizing the behavioral component following a disease outbreak. Future research should seek to fill this gap and develop hierarchical econometric models capable of integrating both macro and micro-economic processes into disease ecology.

Q: Android widget with transparent background: added image should not be transparent I developed a native widget for Android 4.0.
Tha Layout is like this:
Framelayout <- alpha 0.7
  LinearLayout
    TextView
    ImageView <- alpha 1.0
    TextView

The main element is the image. I like to have the background of the widget transparent, but not the image. So I set alpha of the FrameLayout to 0.7 and alpha of the ImageView to 1.0 in the xml file. In the code I set the image with setImageViewBitmap.
Now the widget has some transparency like I wanted.
But the Image  has also some transparency. But I should be opaque. How can I set solve this?

A: Instead of using alpha(since it fades everything inside the parent) you can use background colour with transparency.
For 0.7 alpha, which means 70% white you can use (B3 is 70% value):
android:background="#B3FFFFFF"

So you will have a 30% transparent background and your ImageView will be visible as normal.
If you insist doing it by alpha, you must exlude your ImageView from the View which you set alpha value.

We are sorry and hope for your understanding that we couldn't prepare the minutes of the 2nd call due to conditions beyond our control in connection with known crisis in EHRN.
The Eurasian Harm Reduction Association (EHRA) is glad to announce the launch of its work in the Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (CEECA) region.
EHRA is a non-profit non-governmental membership-based organization established by a group of activists and professionals working in the field of harm reduction in the CEECA region, registered in Vilnius (Lithuania) in 2017. Our task is to promote progressive human rights-based drug policy in the region, as well as advocate for the sustainable financing of harm reduction services in line with the needs of the community of people who use drugs (PUD).
Establishment of this new regional organization was initiated by the staff of the Secretariat and the members of the Steering Committee of the Eurasian Harm Reduction Network (EHRN), an organization that for 20 years has championed community interests and harm reduction programs in the region. This decision was motived by the escalation of critical situation in EHRN, which in September this year has led to the resignation of all staff and members of the Steering Committee, withdrawal of dozens of individual and organizational members of the network, termination of funding by the donors and cessation of all EHRN's program activities. EHRN was registered as a non-governmental organization and had founders who legally owned the organization and, among other things, had the right to approve and amend its charter, hire and dismiss executive director, and, as it turned out, sell their shares of the organization. At the same time, according to the Charter of the organization, the EHRN Steering Committee – a legitimate management body of the organization elected among the members of the network to make key strategic decisions – had only an advisory function, and members of the network had no legal rights at all. This organizational form allowed one of the founders to attempt to sell the shares; this led to protracted trials and the change of one of the owners in August 2017. Immediately after the change in the composition of the owners and the appointment of a new Executive Director, which was done without notifying the Steering Committee, the new management of the organization took a number of steps that led to a halt in the implementation of almost all the program activities of the organization and jeopardized the fulfilment of obligations to partners and donors.
In order to overcome this unclear situation and harmonize the legal form of the network with structure and content of its activity, a new organization was established. It has a democratic and more consistent legal form, which gives more rights and powers to its members. According to the statute of the EHRA, the main decision-making body of the organization is an assembly of its members. As on the beginning of September 2017, the organization has 78 members (both organizations and individuals) from CEECA countries, many of whom joined after the meeting of the EHRN members during the regional conference "Harm Reduction in the New Environment", which took place in April 2017 in Vilnius. During this meeting, the members of the network were informed about establishment of the association and reasons behind this decision. Furthermore, the invitation to re-register as members of the association was sent to the network's organizational members in May this year (invitations to the individual members for a number of technical reasons were sent only in September).
The key governance structure of the new organization is a Steering Committee (SC), which will consist of 13 individuals to be elected from among the members of the organization on a regional basis. At the moment, the EHRA SC consists of 3 members, who initially acted as the founders of the organization: Leonid Vlasenko (Ukraine) – Chairman of the SC, Agita Seja (Latvia), Lyudmila Trukhan (Belarus). The Steering Committee appoints an executive director of the organization, who is responsible to manage activities of the Secretariat. In August 2017, Anna Dovbakh, a well-known professional and public health activist in the region, was appointed to this position. Current activities of the association are implemented by a team of employees, who previously formed the core of the EHRN Secretariat and who are currently working as volunteers to the organization.
"Support for the development of harm reduction in the region can no longer be a hostage to failed organizational and legal decisions. Democratic procedures for electing governing bodies of the network are the only guarantee to prevent similar situations in the future", – says Leonid Vlasenko, chairman of EHRA Steering Committee.
We hope that the legal form of a membership-based association will ensure the sustainability of the organization, will enhance the role of the Steering Committee and the members in the management of the organization, which, in its turn, will contribute to the fruitful working process towards achievement of the Association's strategic goals. There is still much to do in the nearest future to position EHRA as a key partner in advocacy for access to the essential medical and social services for PUDs and in safeguarding their interests and rights in the region. Plans for the near future include: increasing membership base of the organization and organizing assembly meeting of the EHRA members; conduct strategic planning of the organization's activities for the next three years; refine the organization's charter; conduct elections of additional EHRA SC members; organize the work of the EHRA Secretariat's office and much more.
"The situation in the region with the availability of funding for harm reduction services, as well as with legislation in the field of drug policy, continues to deteriorate. Therefore, the establishment of a strong regional organization that could ensure a necessary response from civil society to those emerging problems is a priority for our team!", – says Anna Dovbakh, Executive Director of EHRA.
As the organization is at a nascent stage of its development, we look forward to the support of donor organizations, technical partners and professional community working in the field of HIV and TB prevention and control, as well as in advocacy for humane drug policy in the CEECA region and beyond. And of course, we are counting on the support of representatives of the community of people who use drugs, as those for whom and with whom we plan to work.
You can contact us and get more information about our current and planned activities by subscribing to our Twitter account, our Facebook page and our website.
We encourage organizations and individuals from the region of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia to become members of the EHRA. You can apply for membership on our website here.

'It is a huge honour' Laois student accepts valuable Naughton Scholarship
Teacher Joyce Byrne, Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe TD, Laois winning scholar Ruth Helen Bergin from Heywood CS, Ballinakill and Martin and Carmel Naughton.
A clever Laois student has been awarded for her Leaving Cert results with a €20,000 scholarship.
Heywood Community School graduate Ruth Helen Bergin is the county winner of the Naughton Scholarship award.
She was awarded her scholarship at a ceremony in Trinity Business School in Dublin on Saturday, September 21.
The award was presented by founding patrons of The Naughton Foundation, Dr Martin Naughton and his wife Carmel who were joined by Mr. Paschal Donohue TD, Minister for Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform.
"It is a huge honour. There were such impressive people getting awards in the room. To be part of it is just very humbling," she said.
Ruth has accepted a place at University College Cork studying Data Science and Analytics.
"I am two weeks in, it is quite challenging but it's amazing," she said.
She is one of 36 exceptional Irish students awarded the third level scholarships towards their studies in the areas of engineering, science and technology. The scholarships give €5,000 per year of an undergraduate degree.
"It doesn't cover the entire expense of college but it does help a lot. My sister is studying in Cork too and we have two little brothers who will hopefully follow to college so it will take a bit of pressure off my parents," said Ruth.
Her parents are Riona and Paul Bergin, and her grandparents are Canice and Helen Bergin all from Abbeyleix.
"I partly entered it for them, to make them proud," she said.
Heywood CS was also presented with a prize of €1,000 on the day towards their science facilities.
Ruth got the maximum 625 points in her Leaving Cert exams. She was a 2017 winner of the Laois Student Enterprise Award. With school business colleagues Ellen McWey, Arianna Mezzapelle and Megan Walsh, their business SenseAbility manufactured and marketed a sensory blanket for Alzheimer's patients.
Last year's Naughton Scholar in Laois was Luan Fletcher from St Mary's CBS in Portlaoise.
The Naughton Scholarship is in its 11th year. Since its establishment scholarships worth over €4 million have been awarded to nearly 300 students nationwide. There is one guaranteed Scholarship of €20,000 for each participating county, with two to Cork and four to Dublin. Five extra scholarships are awarded.
"We never imagined what a wonderful community of connected young people the Naughton Scholarship program would become. It is heart-warming for us to read of their successes and how they are in turn giving back to society," Dr Naughton said at the ceremony.

Weekend Motorsports Roundup, Nov. 1-2, 2014
Stef Schrader
Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what's going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?
Because Race Car.
Everything's happening in Texas. Well, except the 6 Hours of Shanghai. That's not in Texas. Anyway, if you want lunacy in motorsports, we've got it.
Formula One makes its only appearance in the United States, but without its two newest teams. Now there are wild rumors flying around about a possible Force India, Sauber and Lotus walk-out on the race, as the smaller teams feel shafted financially by the FIA's preference towards the larger teams. In Formula One this year, the haves keep on havin', and the have nots are at risk of disappearing from the grid entirely.
Formula One To Change Qualifying Format And Yellow Flag Rules At COTA
Two changes are coming to the Formula One United States Grand Prix. The FIA will change the F1…
The three teams are carefully downplaying the threat of a boycott, so I hope that for the weekend's sake, it doesn't happen. I'm also having trouble finding any specific mentions of one besides "here are some random quotes on costs from the smallest teams," so there's that as well. For now, thankfully, it sounds like a crazy rumor the Brit-pubs threw together from random quotes. No one wants a repeat of the last Indianapolis race. Nope.
If it isn't a crazy rumor, uh...at least Porsche Supercup is really great.
The Granddaddy Of All Porsche Support Series Is Coming To Texas
For the first time in history, Porsche Supercup's final race of the season is in the United States.
Things are heating up for the Chase for the Sprint Cup up at Texas Motor Speedway. Well, sort of. A non-Chaser stands a good chance at winning, given that the Chase has eliminated quite a lot of talent this year.
That being said, Brad Keselowski was the only Chaser to fail to make it to the second round of qualifying. He'll start 26th in this weekend's race. Oops!
Scheduling two events in Texas on the same weekend is bad enough. Although F1 appears to be as crowded as usual, there's more overlap between F1 and NASCAR's fanbase than many like to admit. But oh, no. We've got them scheduled on top of each other on TV, too.
The World Endurance Championship moves on to China this weekend as well, bringing an American team with them for the first time. Extreme Speed Motorsports will be duking it out in LMP2 for America. Unfortunately, the only way to follow that is the paid WEC stream online. The race starts at 11 PM EDT on Saturday.
Ask Endurance Drivers Ryan Dalziel And Johannes van Overbeek Anything
Extreme Speed Motorsports is the lone American team heading to the FIA World Endurance…
If you know about anything we missed, or about good livestreams out there, let us know in the comments below.
All times below are EDT until 2:00 AM on Sunday. Then EST kicks in, so remember to set back your clocks (or simply get an extra hour of sleep).

Just curious: are the string parts in this score synthesized, or were the string parts live recordings in front of synthesized percussion?
Sounds like a mix of live orchestra (strings + portion of brass) and samples.
I FIND IT FOR A LONG TIME. THANK YOU.
I saw the movie yesterday and love it a lot. the soundtrack is awsome. for a long time that i don't jump scared in movie so I can say that I really enjoyed it. except the ending... it could have been resolved in a different way...the end made it look like it was some romantic comedy, which it wasn't. but it was great. and shia labeouf was perfect, as always. is a great actor!
Just seen the movie, it was fantastic, what a surprise. The score works wonders in it, I gotta say it's a perfect match. Great work by Zanelli, can't wait to hear more from him.


The wedding day has passed, the thank you cards have all been sent. You and yours are starting your wonderful new life together. With all of the planning that goes into such a wonderful event many times people overlook one small but very important step. Insurance for the most special pieces of jewelry you will ever own, your engagement and wedding rings.
Whether the value is $100.00 or $50,000.00, jewelry insurance represents not only the financial value but also the sentimental value of your treasured items. Most home owners and renters insurance policies do not automatically include jewelry coverage. Insuring your jewelry doesn't have to be complicated. Let the helpful staff at Amoskeag Jewelers guide you through the jewelry insurance process. Our on location Graduate Gemologist will properly identify and valuate your jewelry so that it can be properly insured. Weather you choose to purchase ring insurance (also known as a rider) through your existing insurance company or with a company that specializes in jewelry insurance, let our experienced staff help guide you through the process. With an insurance appraisal from Amoskeag jewelers you will have what you need to protect your jewelry for years to come.


The Nevada Department of Taxation has awarded Xanthic Biopharma Inc. (doing business as Green Growth Brands) seven retail cannabis dispensary licences to operate in the state. Through this expansion, Xanthic Biopharma has positioned itself to become one of the largest cannabis operators in Nevada.
Peter Horvath, chief executive officer of Xanthic Biopharma, commented: "Our presence in Nevada has been strategic from the start. With three million residents and 42 million annual visitors, this is a market like no other, which is why we chose Nevada as the first state where we will present the full expression of our brands, products and services. At maturity, we see Nevada as a consumer market that represents $150 [million] (U.S.) to $250-million (U.S.) in revenue potential to GGB with 10 or more dispensaries across multiple brand formats.
"We continue to be impressed with the regulatory process in Nevada and feel that these new licences reflect the confidence officials have in Green Growth Brands and our ability to operate high-quality and compliant dispensaries.
"With the award of seven licences yesterday, we are accelerating our timeline to realize the full market potential in Nevada.

Most event organizers at HSU are now making their events zero waste! Follow the simple guidelines below and thank you for your commitment to HSU's zero waste goal!
Make sure all promotional or advertising materials and decorations such as giveaways, banners, display materials and fliers are reusable, recyclable, compostable, or virtual.
Tip #1: Check out SCRAP Humboldt or R.O.S.E to find or donate reusable materials.
Tip #2: Utilize online advertising, evites, event websites and other outreach programs that minimize or eliminate printed, disposable materials.
Confirm that any food and drink are served with reusable dining ware and cutlery, including napkins and tablecloths. If this is not possible, all dishware, cups and utensils must be compostable or recyclable.
Tip #3: Insert reusable, composting and recycling requirements into the caterer agreement.
Tip #4: Encourage event-goers to bring their own cups, plates and utensils.
Request food be served buffet style over individually boxed meals.
Ensure that water, along with other beverages, is be served from reusable dispensers/urns, not in disposable containers.
Sugar, honey, creamer and other condiments are served in dispensers, not individual packets.
Ensure that all food is provided in variable portion sizes (e.g. half sandwiches, half bagels, or mini muffins). This will reduce food waste.
Donate leftover food! Before the event coordinate with Oh SNAP! to pick up and re-distribute leftover food.
Review Facilities Management's Events Support guidelines. Compost and recycling bins will be delivered to your event if warranted.
Ensure that compost, recycling and landfill bins are lined up together and are accessible.
Tip #5: Remove any standalone landfill/garbage bins, so that event-goers are more inclined to recycle/compost.
Tip #6: If there will only be recycling and compost from the event, remove all landfill/garbage bins from the event space.
Consider having staff or volunteers assist event-goers as they properly sort their materials into the appropriate bin.
Tip #7: Contact Waste Reduction & Resource Awareness Program (WRRAP) at (707) 826-4162 or wrrap@humboldt.edu to request student volunteers to help sort materials at the event.
Check to make sure leftover food is donated or returned to caterer.
Make zero waste a part of every future event!
Compostable and Recyclable dining ware are only acceptable when reusable materials are not an option. Please note that polystyrene (Styrofoam), single-use plastic bags, and single use water bottles are NOT permitted at HSU Zero Waste Events.
All compostable plastics (#7 PLA) must be BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute, Inc.) certified. You can purchase such items here.

Q: How to solve consistency problem of managing authorization of Single Page Application & .NET Core WebAPI? We are currently developing a web application that has following architecture.

*

*A single page application based on Angular 7

*A Backend based on .NET Core WebAPI.

I am currently considering best practices to cover authentication and authorization requirement of these kind of application.
Client Side Authorization

*

*SPA takes JWT after login.

*Authorization of routes will be handled by Routing guard in Angular. For example, a user has reportviewer role, user will be allowed the routes to see report-related components.

*Menu items will be visible according to the information on JWT. For example, a user has reportviewer role, user will see report-related menu items.

Server Side
JWT will contain some of the authorization information.(For example Role Claims)
Authorize attributes will be used for authorization of WebAPIs.
I have developed a user edit page to define a user and assign required roles.
Question
Authorization of menu items, routing guards and WebAPIs could be defined inconsistently by developers. How can I build consistent authorization framework to solve this problem for this kind of application?
Thanks in advance.
Ihsan

A: Your question is a great one:

How can I build consistent authorization framework to solve this problem for this kind of application?

The answer is to rely on an external authorization framework. There are several options out there to achieve that. Some are .NET-specific, some are general-purpose.
As a whole, this field is known as Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC). What ABAC gives you is:

*

*an architecture

*a policy language to express your authorization in (e.g. "managers can view documents in their departments")

*a request / response protocol in which to send Permit / Deny authorization requests.

ABAC Architecture

This picture highlights how ABAC works: you have the notion of an interceptor or enforcement point (PEP) which intercepts the flow between the user and the app. This enforcement point will check whether the user can get access to whatever it is they want to get access to (data, an API call, a widget...). The idea is that the PEP is local to what you are protecting but the decision making is centralized and that is what will give you consistent authorization. You can have PEPs for SPA, for APIs... And they can enforce the same authorization policies consistently.
The PDP or Policy Decision Point is the one that processes the authorization requests and evaluates them against a set of policies you would have previously written. The language policies are written is typically alfa or xacml.
The PIP (Policy Information Point) is an abstract representation of your data sources and user directories (AD, DB...) where you might store additional information about the users and resources. They can be useful to help make the right decision.
Options
You can either go for open-source implementations e.g. AuthZForce or commercial implementations e.g. Axiomatics (where I work). .NET Core also has policy-based authorization but that won't help you with your SPA.

A: You can use Policy-Based Authorization in ASP.NET Core
The usage is described by Dino Esposito in here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2017/october/cutting-edge-policy-based-authorization-in-asp-net-core

The lovely Kittie Chow and Hazel (5 months). Kittie is also mom to Noah (14). Kittie had an incredibly easy first pregnancy with no morning sickness and a very easy labor. Her delivery, however, was difficult. Her son was 10lbs 2 oz and she had a lot of postpartum hemorrhaging which landed her in the hospital a week. She had two blood transfusions, was unable to hold her son for many hours and had a hard time breastfeeding. They had a rough start connecting and she continues to feel like their relationship has suffered because of it. Her second pregnancy was very different, she had morning sickness for all but 8 weeks of it and had to be on Zofran. Hazel was sunny side up which made labor very painful. After 18 hours Kittie asked for an epidural and quickly began to progress. She had been stalled at a 4 but was ready to push in just a few hours. Breastfeeding this time has been much easier and she feels they're off to a great start. Kittie believes in the normalization of our bodies and breastfeeding and wanted to mark this moment of her relationship with her daughter.

New CEO Will Lead Frontier Communications' Future – Report
Alison Diana, Editor, Broadband World News, 11/11/2019
Frontier Communications reportedly is seeking a new CEO and leadership team to manage the service provider after it announced yet one more quarter of financial and subscriber losses, Bloomberg reported today, citing people knowledgeable about the issue.
The operator, which has suffered multiple quarters of financial losses, carries a debt of $17.5 billion. Creditors and analysts have recommended, in some cases aggressively, measures that include bankruptcy to deal with this heavy financial burden. Apparently dissatisfied with the lack of progress to date, some advisers have started seeking a potential replacement for CEO Dan McCarthy, who's held the role since 2015, these sources told Bloomberg. (They asked not to be identified, given the sensitivity of the subject.)
A Frontier representative told Bloomberg the company does not respond to speculation. McCarthy could not be reached for comment.
In its third-quarter earnings, released November 5, Frontier reported revenue of $1.9 billion, down 6.1% from $2.1 billion in the prior quarter. Net loss for Q3 was $345 million, accounting for a net loss per common share of $3.31. This net loss included a $276 million in goodwill impairment before and after tax, resulting in the net goodwill balance being zero at the end of the third quarter. There was an additional $30 million loss on the anticipated sale of broadband operations and assets in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana to WaveDivision Capital and Searchlight Capital Partners.
Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA was $804 million, or an adjusted EBITDA margin of 40.3%. In Q2 2019, adjusted EBITDA was $882 million. The $70 million sequential decline in revenue, which included a $17 million sequential increase in accounts receivable reserves and an increase in adjusted operating expenses of $8 million, drove most of the adjusted EBITDA drop.
The number of consumer fiber subscribers dropped 1,000; consumer copper broadband users declined 52,000 and churn increased to 2.24% compared with the prior three months. In addition, Frontier lost 9,000 commercial customers, and wholesale revenue decreased 7% sequentially, driven by a $17 million increase in accounts receivables reserves for wholesale billing disputes and declines in legacy data products and Ethernet, Frontier said. Wholesale represented approximately half of commercial revenue in the third quarter. Wireless backhaul, which accounts for about 3% of total company revenue, declined 2%. Commercial SME revenue fell approximately 1% sequentially.
Frontier's broadband subscribers decreased about 5% year-over-year to 3.8 million at the end of September, with many going to top US cable operators such as Charter and Comcast, which gained 334,000 and 266,000 data subs, respectively, in the third quarter, a Market Realist blog reported.
In addition, the blog cited Frontier's poor stock performance compared with its competitors. While Frontier's stock has dropped 40.8% year-to-date and generated a return of -42% in the trailing one-month period and -49.7% in the trailing 12-month timeframe, Windstream Holdings fell 46.8% and AT&T's stock decreased 7.2% in the trailing year. On the other hand, CenturyLink's share price grew 29.6% and Verizon's share increased 28.2%, the blog said. Activist group Elliot Management Corp., which shook up AT&T, and Franklin Resources now hold almost half Frontier's bonds combined. They've teamed with law firm Akin Gump and investment bank Ducera Partners. Another group of creditors -- including GoldenTree Asset Management -- have affiliated with Houlihan Lokey and Mitbank. For its part, Kirkland & Ellis and Evercore are advising Frontier, Bloomberg reported.
Frontier executives did nothing to allay analysts' concerns because they did not engage with earnings-call attendees in the usual Q&A following prepared remarks. Instead, they read their presentations, then ended the call without taking questions.

Turning the Internet of Things into an "Internet of Useful Things" presents a challenge to IT professionals, who see potential for IoT initiatives lighting up the eyes of their line-of-business colleagues.
As more business leaders begin to grasp IoT's powerful potential to solve business problems and facilitate innovation, there are increasing demands on IT shops to integrate and develop capabilities for leveraging IP-enabled processes and devices. Some of those IT professionals showed up at Interop ITX last month to hear from a host of experts representing a variety of organizations, including Intel, Microsoft, Dell, and Orange.
Think small. When it comes to laying out your initial objectives, several of the speakers advised IT implementers to avoid trying to boil the IoT ocean in the first go-around. A slow and steady approach allows teams to begin reaping benefits gradually without running the risk of outpacing their learning curve, according to John Bremner, senior product manager for IoT and medical devices at Sweden's Elekta AB. Solving just one percent of a big business problem can result in millions of dollars in ROI for an IoT initiative, advised Microsoft Cloud Solution Architect Diana Phillips.
Bake in security and compliance from the start. ScaleSec co-founders Aaron and Marsha Wilson told attendees that hosting your IoT platform in an ISO 27001-compliant data center is only the first step to keeping customers' data safe. SOC 2 reports, ISO certifications, and even FedRAMP authorizations may also be required for fintech, healthcare, government, and other sectors -- and leaving those requirements to the later stages of IoT development and deployment can result in unnecessary risks and cost overruns.
Consider using edge computing networks to balance the load, rather than relying solely on the cloud to process and relay data. Not all IoT data is created equal, noted Christos Kolias, principal research scientist for Orange Silicon Valley. Kolias recommends that teams segment business-critical applications from lower-priority monitoring and "mass" apps. Then they can be more judicious in deciding how to apply responsive edge computing resources versus sending data to the cloud.
Don't roll out an IoT app just for IoT's sake. Many IoT developers tend to place too much emphasis on how devices are connected to each other, and too little on how they deliver value to meet customers' needs. Focus on actual outcomes, advised IT industry pundit, author and blogger Joe Barkai. While you're at it, consider designing apps that could make an impact on the unmet needs of underserved populations, such as those with disabilities, suggested speaker Thomas Brady, a UI lead engineer for Carnegie Technologies.


You've got your ticket and you are headed to London. One good thing about traveling to Britain is that you can step a little outside of your comfort zone without having to worry about the language. OK, some dialects are difficult to understand, but at least all the signs are in plain English. Hotels are going to be pretty similar, as well. It's when you get to the dinner table that you realize you are in a foreign country. Food in Britain is very, very different. And let's be frank, when you go to these islands, you are probably not going there for the food. But there is good news. You can find decent eats all over Britain, if you simply know where to look.
The first thing you must do is abandon all sense of what food should look or taste like. Unless you are headed to Tesco to stock up on produce, it may taste very different than what you expect. Like other places in Europe, Britain likes to do pastry. And if you play your cards right, they do it very well. Try a Cornish pasty, if you like. It will be a lot like a buttery, flaky Hot Pocket. The dessert pastries will remarkably resemble traditional treats you find in Paris. But rest assured, they will not remind you of your days spent near Gare du Nord.
While you are on your trip, find out what and how the locals eat, and then eat that way. You may be dying to drink a Guinness in every pub you can find in Dublin. But that's going to limit you to greasy, unsatisfying pub food. You are much better off finding a small place that serves a soup or stew with the ubiquitous Irish soda bread. When you are in London, grab a prepackaged sandwich at Marks & Spencer, on your way to the Underground. That's what everyone else does, and the sandwiches are surprisingly fresh and tasty.
The sun never set on the British Empire. And thank goodness for that, because the old colonies introduced a lot of interesting flavors to the British Isles. It is more than just snarky to imply that the real national fare of England is, in fact, Indian food. Any major metropolitan area will have some fine restaurants serving foreign cuisine. You just have to locate them. At the hotel, ask the concierge for recommendations to good restaurants in the area featuring the type of food you want. Indian food in Britain is actually outstanding. But you can also find delicious Italian, Mediterranean and even American food there, as well.
Don't head to Britain and then complain that you do not like the food. Not a lot of people do, so you'll be in good company. But you have a great opportunity to make the experience wonderful, including what you eat. Just open your mind a little, enjoy the local culture and ask around. The payoff is excellent.
