Win32s is a 32-bit application runtime environment for the Microsoft Windows 3.1 and 3.11 operating systems.  It allowed some 32-bit applications to run on the 16-bit operating system using call thunks. A beta version of Win32s was available in October 1992. Version 1.10 was released in July 1993 simultaneously with Windows NT 3.1.

Concept and characteristics

Win32s was intended as a partial implementation of the Win32 Windows API as it existed in early versions of Windows NT.

The "s" in Win32s signifies subset, as Win32s lacked a number of Windows NT functions, including multi-threading, asynchronous I/O, newer serial port functions and many GDI extensions. This generally limited it to "Win32s applications" which were specifically designed for the Win32s platform, although some standard Win32 programs would work correctly, including Microsoft's 3D Pinball Space Cadet and some of Windows 95's included applets. Early versions of Internet Explorer (up to Version 5) were also Win32s compatible, although these also existed in 16-bit format. Generally, for a 32-bit application to be compatible with Win32s, it had to not use more than 16MB of memory or any extended features such as DirectX.

Win32s inherits many of the limitations of the Win16 environment. True Win32 applications execute within a private virtual address space, whereas Windows 3.x used an address space shared among all running applications. An application running on Win32s has the shared address space and cooperative multitasking characteristics of Windows 3.1. Consequently, for a Win32 application to run on Win32s, it must contain relocation information.

A technique named thunking is fundamental to the implementation of Win32s as well as Chicago-kernel operating systems, which are Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME. However, allowing user-level thunking greatly complicates attempts to provide stable memory management or memory protection on a system-wide basis, as well as core or kernel security—this allows poorly written applications to undermine system stability on Win32s, as well as the Chicago-kernel systems. 32-bit versions of Windows NT transparently provide a virtual machine for running Win16 applications, although this feature was removed from 64-bit versions of Windows.

Compatibility
Win32s-compatible applications could be built using Microsoft's development tools, as well as at least Borland C++ 4.x and Symantec C++ (now Digital Mars C++). However, several program compilation options (such as EXE relocation information) and DLLs which were implicit in Windows NT 3.1 have to be included with the application in Win32s. Microsoft ceased support for Win32s in Visual C++ version 4.2 released in late 1996.

Win32s included an implementation of the card game FreeCell as an example application, a couple of years before the game became famous with its inclusion in Windows 95.

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, a DOS game, included a level editor that required Win32s to run. The editor used a Windows GUI for displaying the large maps because high-resolution graphic modes were already handled by Windows. The NCSA Mosaic web browser version 2 also required Win32s.

C# applications can be compiled by the CoreRT compiler into Win32 code that is accepted by the 1994 Visual C++ linker. This combination produces Win32 executables that can run on Windows 3.1 with Win32s.

Sources and installation

Win32s can still be found using web search engines; PW1118.EXE is generally the installation file used.
$ sha256sum pw1118.exe
5e7162ba950856104b4c6cb39d2fa5c55e73f86b1d65c31341913dba8b6ba455  pw1118.exe
Developers should ensure they are installing OLE if they require consistent clipboard handling. Many applications which need to be made OLE aware (i.e. setting up their OLE server) must be reinstalled. Win32s was also included with some early Win32 programs.

While there are no plans to hire a new deputy dean to replace his former second-in-command, Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross '71 has appointed Ford Professor of Human Evolution David Pilbeam, an administrative veteran, to a new post as his senior adviser.
Former Deputy Dean of the College Patricia O'Brien was forced out of her post this summer. Her position, formed in 2004, was created to lighten Gross' workload.
Gross created the position of senior adviser to dean of the College to "work closely" with his senior staff on College projects, he wrote in an e-mail.
Pilbeam declined to comment on his new position.
"He has been a valued advisor to me since I became dean and we decided to make it a recognized position," Gross wrote.
Pilbeam served as dean of undergraduate education and most recently as chair of the committee on advising and counseling—one of the few committees in the curricular review whose recommendations were implemented.
Along with his role as senior adviser, Pilbeam will co-chair the Education Policy Committee (EPC) with Gross.
Formed in 1992 by Interim Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Jeremy R. Knowles, the EPC is responsible for making suggestions for curricular reform.
Dingman also lauded Pilbeam's work as chair of the Advising and Counseling Committee, responsible for the recent overhaul of the advising system.
The new Advising Programs Office (APO), which coordinates undergraduate advising and launched the new Peer Advising Fellows program, has added five new staff members since its formation last spring.
But the new office will be staffed with some familiar faces, as former administrative standbys take on new posts.
Assistant Dean of Advising Programs James N. Mancall, resident dean of Ivy Yard for the past six years, made his transition from the Freshmen Dean's Office to University Hall this summer. Mancall's successor, William Cooper '94, was named in late June.
But the APO is not the only office to see change. Over the summer, former assistant dean of the College Julia G. Fox moved from University Hall to the Office of Career Services, where she now acts as assistant dean for life skills curriculum development.
Fox previously oversaw the Ann Radcliffe Trust, which now falls under the auspices of the new women's center.
Noel Bisson, who previously served as assistant dean at Colgate University in New York, will act as the new assistant dean of undergraduate education.
Bisson says she plans to work with teaching fellows to improve undergraduate teaching.

As we point out in our reviews of other Grand Rapids Indian restaurants, Indian food can be tough for vegans. Most don't cater to vegans because they slam every veg dish full of ghee. Bombay Cuisine is a good choice for vegans, not only for choice but for quality.
Bombay, a mainstay of the Eastown neighborhood, opened in 1998. A restaurant in business for such a long time is sure to go through changes, and that is the case with Bombay. At one point there were only two vegan options. Now there are more, but you will need to know how to order.
These are the dishes that can be made vegan. Note that not all are on the menu.
The tamarind chutney is vegan, and your bread choice is roti without butter.
The staff is willing to accommodate, so be sure to ask. The food, depending on who you ask, is iffy on authenticity. A modernized version, maybe? It's solid flavor-wise in our opinion, but it is not cheap. At $14.95 for veg entreés, you should expect to rack up a hefty bill. They currently do not offer a buffet – but they will, starting in January, monthly – the first Sunday of the month. Bombay does offer catering.
Bombay shares space with a brewery, in what they call a "collaborative space." East West Brewing allows you to order all the same food from Bombay, so it's up to you where you sit.

The Report Card
June 7, 2010 By Lor
The other day my husband and I went to the first PTC meeting with our daughter's teacher, Ms. A. Report cards had just come out and I was eager to see how N had fared in the first term of first grade. It was a big adjustment for her as her preschool was tiny (8 kids on her class!), and her new "big school" was huge (almost 1,000 kids up to grade 12!). I knew that she was happy there, but as any parent knows, the way your kid is at home and at school can be two very different things.
Well, Ms. A told us that N was an enthusiastic learner, did well in all her subjects, especially p.e, art, computer and music. She then also said N was not really a "self starter" and needed some time (i.e. would play, draw or get distracted) before she could sit down and complete a task. In maths, she was very good with numbers, but often got confused with "problem solving" work. In reading, she had also improved vastly (she could hardly reading at the end of Kindergarten), but tended to rush through reading, using context clues to guess the words rather than going through them slowly.
Of course, I also had other questions- like the grading system, which was new to me, ranging from 4-1 (4 being the highest, and meant to be "super, super" not given lightly) and I was used to the old-fashioned ABC's or 95, 85, 75 etc. N mostly got 3's, a few 2's, and two 4's, but I can't help but feel that she could have done better – that I could have done more to help her.
I think its up to us as parents to really know and understand our kids learning styles (again, think of the Animal School) as it could really help them not just in their school years, but for the rest of their lives.

KHN's 'What the Health?': Contagion Confusion
Can't see the audio player? Click here to listen on Acast. You can also listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Pocket Casts or wherever you listen to podcasts.
The covid-19 pandemic is now entering its third year, and the ever-evolving health advice to combat an ever-evolving virus is leaving Americans more cranky and confused than ever.
Meanwhile, covid isn't the only health agenda item slipping from 2021 into 2022. Democrats on Capitol Hill are trying to figure out how to salvage President Joe Biden's huge health and social spending bill, and the rise of prescription drug prices still angers many Americans.
This week's panelists are Julie Rovner of KHN, Tami Luhby of CNN, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico and Mary Ellen McIntire of CQ Roll Call.
Among the takeaways from this week's episode:
As the omicron variant sweeps the country, it is causing widespread staffing problems in industries ranging from health care to air travel. Experts have noted that omicron appears to not produce as serious an illness as the delta variant does. Even so, when people are diagnosed with covid they must quarantine, and for many people that means staying away from work.
Nonetheless, in areas hit hard by omicron, such as New York City, the number of cases appears to be leveling off. Other parts of the country may still not have felt the full impact of omicron, but these early contagions suggest that omicron is following a pattern in the U.S. similar to what was seen in South Africa, where cases declined rapidly after the peak.
New guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that cuts in half the number of days needed to quarantine with covid confused many people. It was not well explained by the agency, and health officials offered varied views.
But one of the CDC's objectives may have been to make it easier for infected people to stay home. A shorter quarantine of five days may be acceptable or easier to arrange for patients who still need to work. Plus, some people may be less nervous about getting a covid test if a positive result does not mean a full 10 days in isolation.
Helping people in quarantine could also prove effective in trying to limit the spread of the covid virus. Other countries provide patients amenities such as paid leave or grocery deliveries that make it easier to stay home.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on the Biden administration's mandates that most workers either get vaccinated or routinely tested. But even a decision from the court is unlikely to quell this contentious issue. Members of Congress are seeking to overturn the rules through legislation, although such a bill would certainly be vetoed by Biden.
The landmark legislation protecting consumers from surprise medical bills took effect this month. That doesn't mean patients are protected from all large bills. Many still will have health plans with high deductibles, so they could end up paying thousands of dollars for in-network services. But they will not be responsible for the often-exorbitant out-of-network charges from doctors and hospitals that they did not choose. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced shortly before the holidays that he could not support the current bill. But talks on the bill have taken a back seat to Democratic initiatives on voting rights, for now.
Also this week, Rovner interviews KHN's Victoria Knight, who reported and wrote the latest KHN-NPR "Bill of the Month" episode about a costly mix-up in the billing for a newborn intensive care unit. If you have an outrageous medical bill you'd like to send us, you can do that here.
Plus, for extra credit, the panelists recommend their favorite health policy stories of the week they think you should read, too:
Julie Rovner: The Washington Post's "Men Across America Are Getting Vasectomies 'as an Act of Love,'" by Emily Wax-Thibodeaux
Tami Luhby: The Washington Post's "Nursing Home Staff Shortages Are Worsening Problems at Overwhelmed Hospitals," by Lenny Bernstein and Andrew Van Dam
Alice Miranda Ollstein: The 19th's "ACA Health Insurance Plans Need More Protections for LGBTQ+ People, White House Says," by Orion Rummler
Mary Ellen McIntire: The New York Times' "When They Warn of Rare Disorders, These Prenatal Tests Are Usually Wrong," by Sarah Kliff and Aatish Bhatia

The Education Committee (EC) is made up of multiple working groups which are continuously developing content and activities.
In April, the EC brought together transplant recipients, transplant medical professionals, kidney donors, donor families and students from a Montreal area high school for a video recorded session. The Students, supervised by a teacher (who is also a kidney transplant recipient) prepared questions to address to the panel of participants. The students conducted interviews which will be used in the educational online teaching module about awareness on organ donation and ransom station for school children. This is a joint project with the collaboration of the Canadian Society of Transplantation, the Dutch Transplant Foundation and TTS. The module has been translated from the one produced by the Dutch Transplant Foundation. Snapshots of the interviews are being shown during the congress.
The EC in collaboration with World Transplant Games Federation (WTGF) is working on the preparation of a healthy lifestyle module. This module is designed for transplant recipients. The goal is to provide transplant recipients with tools to increase the physical activity and help with issues related to mental health and diet.
The TTS Leadership Series is wrapping up. The EC is hosting a Lunch & Learn session at TTS 2018 on July 2nd which will discuss the leadership series and highlight a couple projects from the leadership series participants.
In the Fall, the Education Committee, spearheaded by Dr. Valeria Mas, will launch a Webinar Series on Translational Medicine. Stay tuned to hear more about this new and exciting series.

Crash causes gas leak, shuts down part of Philips Highway
Get an eviction notice? Here's the first thing you should do
Florida has distributed $25.7M in rental assistance
Published: August 5, 2021, 4:16 PM Updated: August 5, 2021, 7:26 PM
Nearly 14,000 evection notices were filed with Florida courts between May and July.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Nearly 14,000 evection notices were filed with Florida courts between May and July.
A new 60-day moratorium, which took effect earlier this week, is likely to be challenged in court.
Legal Services of North Florida has already seen as many eviction cases so far this year as it saw all of last year.
But Legal Services attorney Patrick Jennings told us if you get an eviction notice, the first thing to do is call a lawyer.
"Many times there are legal defenses, or the landlord has not pursued this properly, and it can at least be delayed," said Jennings.
A new CDC eviction moratorium issued this week only offers protection if you live in a county with high or substantial virus transmission.
All of Florida is covered for now, but that could change quickly.
"It might provide some protection, immediately, that was not available just last week," said Jennings.
The State has nearly $800 million in rental assistance money available, but much of it has not yet been distributed.
"We've gotten a confirmation letter from the organization, the rental assistance organization, have been able to show that to the landlord and they've been willing to hold things off for a little while," said Jennings.
Legal challenges to the new moratorium, which runs till early October, are expected.
And the Florida Apartment Association said the new moratorium doesn't address the underlying issue of tenants not being able to pay rent.
"We really feel that the important thing to do here is to ensure the quick delivery of those rental assistance funds," said Amanda White with the Association.
And the bottom line is that if someone can avoid eviction because of the moratorium, they are still on the hook for everything they owe.
In a statement, DCF, which administers renter relief, told us OUR Florida has paid out $25.7 million to 5,942 households.
The agency says a two-party application process is causing delays because the landlord must verify the information provided by the tenant.

Mykoła Semenowycz Prystaj, ukr. Микола Семенович Пристай, ros. Николай Семенович Прыстай, Nikołaj Siemionowicz Prystaj (ur. 26 listopada 1954 we wsi Studzianka, w obwodzie iwanofrankiwskim) - ukraiński piłkarz, grający na pozycji napastnika, trener piłkarski.

Kariera piłkarska
W 1974 zaczął występować w klubie Spartak Iwano-Frankiwsk, który uczestniczył wtedy w rozgrywkach Pierwoj (II poziom) ligi Mistrzostw ZSRR. W latach 1975-1976 odbywał służbę wojskową w klubie SK Łuck w Drugiej Lidze (III poziom) Mistrzostw ZSRR. W 1977 powrócił do rodzinnego klubu i występował w nim do 1981. Karierę kończył w mniej znanych klubach. Był jednym z najlepszych piłkarzy Spartaka, strzelił najwięcej bramek w historii tego klubu.

Kariera trenerska

The people who live in the two villages of Ghosaldanga and Bishnubati are members of the Santal tribe, one of the biggest "Adavasi" tribes, the name given in India to the indigenous population of the country. According to Hinduism the Adavasi are seen as being below the caste system.
The Santal live in the north-east of India, mainly in the federal states of Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and Assam. 5.2 million Santal were counted during the census of 1991. Economically seen, they are one of the poorest communities in India. Outside India there are also Santal communities in Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan.
Originally the Santal people were hunters and gatherers in the hills and forests. Today the majority of them live in their own villages, where they mostly work as smallholders or agricultural labourers.
For centuries they have lived in their villages in the neighbourhood of other communities, keeping their cultural and social distance from these. They have their own religion and a rich, ancient culture and language.
The Santal language, called Santali, belongs to the Austro-Asiatic family of languages, making it one of the oldest languages in India. Many Santal people now grow up bilingual, speaking both their mother tongue and the language of the state in which they are living.
As their language possesses no written form, the Santal have a purely oral tradition. They have a rich treasury of plays and songs which play a significant role in the preservation and dissemination of their culture. The Santals are well known as gifted storytellers.
The Santal have a coherent, clearly-structured society. They are divided into twelve clans and obey complex social laws. Marriage is only allowed between members of different clans; marrying a non-Santal is not permitted and means exclusion from Santal society.
More detailed information is to be found in the diploma thesis written (in German) by Kathrin Klein (2006) in chapter 2.8: "The Santals - a tribal community in India".

Kindle Corruption: My Take on the "How To" Marketing Manuals →
My Take on Scammers Breaking The Kindle Store
Forword: please note this is an opinion piece.
A recent blog post entitled "Scammers Break the Kindle Store" has now been shared on FB more than 5 thousand times in just three days. If you haven't read the article, I highly recommend it. You can CLICK HERE to read it in its entirety. It's very interesting, to say the least. I suppose what bothers me the most about this article is it accuses this author of using black hat tactics to gain a #1 spot on Amazon's paid list with no other proof than the author not having any type of social media presence and had not used any of the "traditional" marketing ploys most indies use – lack of self-promotion via social media platforms and no Bookbub ads, in conjunction with the fact this author is "unknown" to the writer of this article. (As a side note, I'm pretty sure Amanda Hocking did not have a social media platform nor did she use Bookbub before she became one of the first authors to successfully sell a million copies of her own self-published books prior to being offered a 7-figure publishing deal. Oh, and Anne Rice hit the big leagues long before social media was even a thing.)
As I was saying, I would like to point out the Amazon ranking system routinely catapults "unknown" authors into bestseller status. I can't even begin to describe how many times I've seen the words "NYT Bestselling Author" or "USA TODAY Bestselling Author" on the front of book covers on Amazon and have absolutely no clue who these authors are. I would also like to point out an incredibly wild notion – there are other ways to promote books outside of the internet. I know, crazy concept. I'm sure the author of the article actually has very good reasons for thinking this book hit this status with less than ethical practices, just as I know why he chose not to lay out the proof so other people can't use the tactics to scam the system further. Unfortunately, by not giving a play-by-play and no other proof other than his gut, the entire article has become nothing more than an opinion piece, just like mine. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go so far as to call total bullshit on his entire article and way of thinking. Judging by his reactions to some of the comments, he's just another author who seems to be frustrated with the entire craptacular we indies are forced to deal with every day.
With that said, I'm about to voice a very unpopular opinion about this, but I'm hoping you will bear with me and read through to the end. At the very least, I hope this will get you thinking, because I honestly do not believe the thousands of indie authors who have been sharing this article fully understands how the publishing world works – and by "publishing world" I mean not just the indie scene, but the trade publishers as well. As I've stated many times, I've spent the last twenty-six some years in the publishing business, either trying to break into the trade pub scene, learning from it, interacting with both NYT and indie best-selling authors, being an active publisher and indie author, as well as having friends in both the modeling and music industries. To say I've learned a lot is a vast understatement. But I digress.
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why indie authors are so upset over this. Well, I actually do get why, but it goes back to the reason they are so upset is they fail to see the broader scope of publishing from a business aspect. It's like the authors who never once think about how their own business practices affect the industry as a whole, so long as they are making money right now.
Let's look at this from a business standpoint. This type of "black hat" operations happens all the time with traditional publishers. The only difference is they are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to "underground" marketing and PR firms to do the very same thing and are pretty much keeping how they operate their business a closely guarded secret shared only among other big-boy publishers. While this is going on every single day with bestseller books in the trade world, with millions of dollars being invested and earned off of Amazon, we have indies who want to crucify the indie authors who are following in the big boy's footsteps using the resources at their disposal – which would be Fiverr and the like. It's not pretty, and we have fewer "underground" resources at our disposal simply because we are not rubbing elbows with the big boy publishers enough to be "in the know" when it comes to which "secret" firms we should be hiring. We have to ask around, and doing so means our business becomes everyone else's business. Remember, it's not what you know, it's who you know, and to be honest, as indies, even if we did have access to the same resources as the big boy publishing houses, most of us simply do not have the money required to hire these people.
So let's look at a few case studies. Hugh Howey admitted he used his own money, one of these underground market PR firms, and a whole lot of Fiverr people to buy his way onto the NYT bestsellers list and pad his serialized book with fake reviews. He openly admitted this on his own website and did an in-depth interview outlining how he went about achieving his letters. And yet no one went raging to Amazon demanding his account be revoked, nor did Amazon demand his royalty payments be paid back. So pray tell how this is any different?
Purchasing dozens of "fake" reviews through businesses like Fiverr is no different than the author who band together all their family, friends, and fellow readers/authors to create huge review/reader teams and then not only enlist these huge review teams to leave reviews but oftentimes pay them as well to leave dozens upon dozens of reviews of a book which was just released. You ever see a book that literally has only been live for two hours with two hundred plus glowing 5-star reviews on it and wonder how they managed it? That's how they did it. Is doing that any more ethical than paying a bunch of random strangers to do the same thing? Does knowing the reviewers somehow make it okay as opposed to finding a complete stranger to do it for you? The only difference is Amazon's ToS says you can't "pay" for reviews, but they do not specify what "payment" is specifically. We all just assume they mean we can't spend money but giving someone a book in exchange for a review is okay. In my eyes, it's still payment. Just because Amazon lets us get away with it in their world does not make it an ethical business practice.
I've seen authors gather together these large teams and then pay them to pre-order their book so when it hits, it shoots up the Amazon ranking with the potential to earn bestseller letters. Yet authors are okay with this because so many of them do it. How is enlisting these large review teams any different than someone buying the same exact services through places like Fiverr? Just because it is not technically against Amazon's ToS does not necessarily make it ethical business practices. Yes, large trade publishers hire people to leave reviews yet indie authors seem okay with that, but are quick to crucify an indie who pads their reviews through Fiverr. Either way, the ToS are being broken no matter how much you want to justify it, the only difference is one of them everyone is doing, and the other one is being done just as often, authors just don't talk about it.
Everyone keeps saying what this author did was not "ethical" and it displaces "legitimate, hardworking authors" right out of the ranking. "Hardworking"? You mean "hardworking" like erotica authors who have used a few friends with blogs to amass a huge army of rabid fans who not only cause his books to shoot up the Amazon charts, but an author who then turns a blind eye to said fans attacking other authors and leaving bad reviews on their books? You mean "hardworking" like those authors who gather up the large review teams, pay them to preorder their books, and have them leave glowing reviews on their work as soon as it goes live? You mean "hardworking" like those authors who spent thousands upon thousands of dollars using private PR firms to buy their way onto these bestseller lists? Or "hardworking" like the authors who join boxed sets and then spend thousands of dollars gifting the anthology right onto the USA Today's bestsellers list? Or "hardworking" like the ring leaders of these anthologies who not only learned how to game the system, but who then instruct their 30+ authors to do less than ethical marketing and break a huge chunk of Amazon's TOS just so they can say they earned their letters? No matter how much indies or trade publishers try to justify it, black hat tactics are black hat tactics, even when they do not go against Amazon's ToS. So I will once again ask, how is any of that different from what this author is accused of?
I've had Anne Rice herself tell me on more than one occasion that I should use all the tools at my disposal, which means calling in every "favor" I'm owed by family and friends and have them leave me a nice review on my books. It flies in the face of Amazon's TOS yet trade publishers do the exact same thing. They pay other big-name authors to write some small, glowing review to pop on the front cover or include in the blurb of a new release. And you know how movie trailers are quick to boast how the NY Times, USA Today, and other critics are calling this new movie "The must-see movie of the year"? Yeah, you bet your sweet ass they were paid to write those reviews. It's extremely commonplace with the big trade publishers, yet no one is demanding Stephen King or EL James' heads on a platter because their publisher engaged in questionable business practices to try to launch a new book into bestseller status. It's being done en mass, yet indies either seem oblivious to it or just choose to ignore it. Just because they are large publishers does not make it any more ethical than an indie doing the same thing. So if trade publishers get to do it, then why not indies?
It concerns me greatly that indie authors are quick to bring out the pitchforks against this one author, yet they are more than willing to turn a blind eye to the authors who are gathering up huge review teams to leave stunning reviews on their new releases, or the authors who allow their fans to openly attack any other author they deem a 'threat' to their own success. They are quick to join the author who can launch their own books into bestseller status knowing they are doing things against Amazon's TOS and then only get upset when they lose all the money they invested into the scheme without hitting those coveted lists. Again, just because Amazon is allowing it doesn't make it ethical.
I do not quite understand why indies seem to think it is okay for publishers to hire these firms who then hire third parties to purchase these books en mass, thus skyrocketing the books into bestseller status, or think it is perfectly fine for them to use marketing and promotion techniques to create a grassroots movement thus tricking the general population into believing a certain book is just the most wonderful book on the planet. We all know which book I'm referring to, yet no one is demanding she be stripped of her bestseller title or give back the millions of dollars she earned when her publisher used the bit of momentum she had already started on her own to catapult a poorly written piece of literature into the history books.
So why are authors okay with turning a blind eye to the indies who have huge review teams pre-order these books and leave dozens of shiny 5-star reviews on these books within a few hours of release? Why are they okay with joining boxed sets where authors are gifting copies of the set to people, knowing these gifted copies count toward their sales numbers. Regardless of whether you are gifting 3% or 99% of your total sales numbers, regardless of whether you are giving away copies to get a few hundred reviews, regardless of whether you are hiring people off of Fiverr to buy your book, pad your reviews, or "paying" your review team by gifting them swag, paperbacks, or other "rewards" for being a part of your team, ultimately all these tactics still do the one thing which goes against Amazon's ToS- these practices ultimately manipulate the sales ranking.
People seem to forget while Amazon may allow you to gift copies of books, it doesn't mean you should do it to the point where it is actively affecting your sales numbers. While Amazon may allow you to give a book away in exchange for a review, it does not mean authors should be doing it to the point where they have so many reviews in such a short amount of time it is actively affecting their visibility, ranking, and preferential treatment by Amazon to give those books with more reviews more exposure. Yet this is happening on a regular basis with both trade and indie books. So why are indies so quick to lynch one of their own over something like what this article talks about but are perfectly happy to turn a blind eye to everything else that is going on? Saying it is unfair to other, legitimate and "hardworking" authors is a total crock of bullshit to be honest. Trade publishers enlist underhanded practices to skew the rankings and both the NYT and USA Today bestsellers lists are highly vetted. The only difference between indies and trade publishers is Amazon is willing to turn a blind eye to anyone who is making them money.
While it certainly sucks this guy probably made a good $100K or more through this practice, how much did he pay out of his own pocket to get that ranking? I've seen my own books go from the 2 MILLION ranking mark to breaking the top 50K overall paid with only 3 sales. I've had authors tell me they had a book go from total obscurity to cracking the top 50 overall paid on less than a hundred total sales. And yet I myself have sold nearly one thousand copies of a single book in just under twelve hours and not have my overall ranking move more than a few places. The bottom line is, we don't know how many sales or page reads it took for this guy to hit that bestselling status. It could have been tens of thousands of sales or it could have only been a few dozen. He could have easily spent a quarter of a million dollars to make a few thousand bucks or he could have spent $50 to make a few hundred thousand. Because of the way Amazon's ranking system works, we simply have no idea what was actually gained off of this other than a bestselling ranking. It's all purely speculation.
While it would be nice if everyone were playing on a level field, that simply is not the case nor will it ever be. So long as trade publishers are left to apply the same black hat techniques then indies are always going to be at a disadvantage. Even if Amazon began banning, removing, and revoking accounts and books of indies who engage in such behavior, there are still the trade publishers who are using questionable means to launch books into bestseller status, a practice which is always going to put indie authors at the bottom of the totem pole as far as both Amazon and readers are concerned.
It's just another example of anyone who has the resources and money will always come out on top of this game, just like with any other business. It's why I can't exactly whine about not "making" it as an author when I know full well it takes a lot of money to hire professionals who know how to get me to where I need to be in order to make a name for myself. I simply do not have the money, and while I'd love to see those who do have the money be punished for doing what I cannot even though I may be a better writer, until Amazon starts enforcing that throughout their publishing platform and holding trade publishers to the same standards, I hardly see anything changing other than to make it even more difficult for indie authors to get a decent chunk of the publishing pie. And in all honesty, whining about such authors who do somehow manage to play with the "big boys" isn't going to help any of us out. If anything, it just makes it that much more difficult for us to be seen.
First it's this guy, but then what? They are already taking down reviews if the writer of the review is thought to somehow "know" the author. What happens when we are no longer able to have any type of social media platform with our readers because Amazon is removing all of our reviews? What happens when unverified reviews are no longer allowed because authors start complaining that giving away ARCs in exchange for a review is "unfair" to those who can't find a huge review team? It certainly is unfair, but what if authors start complaining about it to such an extent that Amazon bans those types of reviews? What happens when boxed sets are banned because of all the shady tactics that are used to launch those into bestseller status?
The point, dear authors, is – be careful what you wish for. Nothing about the publishing game is fair, least of all to indies. We have to be smarter, more cunning, and somehow manage to dance toe-to-toe with the big boys with a whole hell of a lot less money and nowhere near the connections. The more you complain about authors using the resources at their disposal, the harder it becomes for all of us to make it in the industry. I'd hate to know gifting copies no longer counted toward sales, that Amazon no longer allowed unverified purchase reviews, that giving out ARCs for reviews was no longer an option, and that the small readership I have thanks to social media was all for nothing because Amazon would no longer let anyone who was following me on social media review my books, even if they purchased them through Amazon on their own. It's a slippery slope, and once one person starts screaming "unfair", it's just a matter of time before people start pointing out the tactics which are at the very core of being indie as being "unfair" practices as well.

I was thinking something similar but not so eloquently. I've never done this and wouldn't because I don't want to lose my kdp account but as you say similar practices go on by bigger fish and 'street teams'
What's the difference really between this and a BookBub ad? Really.
Some of those complaining are doing so because this guy made more money from a book they don't think was as well written as theirs. And that not fair is it ? Except it happens all the time .

I'm too afraid to do it because I don't want to chance losing my account either. I didn't want to come straight out and say it, but this really smacks of jealousy. I honestly feel like those authors who are calling for this guy's head are just jealous because they did not think of this strategy themselves. It reminds me distinctively of a certain bestselling book which was pulled from Amazon after it had been outselling other NYT bestselling authors for barely a week, all because a bunch of authors banned together and demanded Amazon take it down because it "glorified" rape and they personally found it appalling. Last time I checked, 50 Shades glorified an abusive, manipulative, and demeaning relationship and yet everyone was eating it up like it was chocolate. It's not fair, but the industry as a whole isn't fair.
If they really wanted to complain about something, they should demand Amazon treat indies with the same respect and offer us the same opportunities as they do for trade publishers instead of trying to strip us of the few resources we still have. While I and a lot of other authors find what this author did to certainly be deplorable, the big publishers enlist similar tactics every single day and no one is complaining about it. I can't even complain about the badly written, poorly edited, unformatted drivel that is flooding the market because in the event Amazon ever did decide to do something about it, they would swing their hammer at indies ensuring it took an act of Congress to actually get our books up to their standards, all while trade publishers were given a complete pass and were allowed to continue to give us such gems as the aforementioned book. It's Amazon's sandbox and we are merely allowed to play in it. I, for one, do not like the idea of them taking their toys and going home. I may have other outlets, but Amazon was the largest book retailer before they allowed indies to play alongside the big boys, and they would continue to be the largest fish in the book retailer sea even if they suddenly dumped indies like last year's fruitcake. It's a scary thought.

text: Q: No DNS for Windows Server Core I have set up an Active Directory with DNS Servers on the Domain Controller. I have already joined Computers and DNS works for all machines, even those that are not in the domain. I wanted to setup another Server, a Windows Server 2019 Core, and join it into the Domain. But it cant resolve the Domain name, even tho it can ping all DNS Servers and there are no additional firewall rules in place. Has anyone an idea what the problem is, or what i can do to fix this?

Phils Game Music Phindings #19 - Chocobo Tango
4:23 AM on 03.24.2019 (server time) 0
todays topic is the Chocobo theme, the main theme of the fluffy yellow bird that, besides Moogles, has become one of the primary mascots of the series. Their theme song, introduced along with its master in Final Fantasy 3 (Famicom), has appeared in pretty much every entry in the main series and several spin offs.
The music has been remixed by Uematsu himself several times through the games. Some versions include an explicit reference to the style used (Like "Techno de Chocobo from FF6 or "Mambo de Chocobo" from FF5). The version that likely gained the most attention was "Electric Chocobo" from the snowboarding sequence of FF7:
It has been noted several times that this version with its wah-wahs and use of electric piano sounds like a large number of rock songs from the 60s and early 70s. This is because the song is - or is largely inspired by - surfer rock, a genre particularly popular at that time (it also fits well with the snowboarding theme). An example of a song that makes extensive use of this style and is thus often cited is the song "Pipeline" from The Chantays (1963).
However, in the end all of these versions are just remixes of the original chocobo theme from FF3. Can we also find something that also resembles the core melody in some way?
Well, I'll let you decide. In 1959, satirical pianist Tom Lehrer released the album "An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer" which contained a piece of, for the time, charming topical innocence called "The Masochism Tango". I would like you to compare the following note sequence (starts between 0:03 and 0:04) with the sequence starting at 0:24 in the above linked Electric de Chocobo recording:
I wonder if there is a full tango that sounds like the rest of the theme.

Ex-girlfriend accuses Dippin' Dots CEO of sending revenge porn to her mother and others
by KC Wildmoon
An ex-girlfriend of Dippin' Dots CEO Scott Fischer has sued the ice cream confectioner, accusing him of sending "private sexual images" to several people, including her mother.
Amanda Brown filed suit in Oklahoma, where Fischer lives, claiming that while they were together, he demanded X-rated pictures from her that he then used as "blackmail," the New York Post reports.
Fischer says the lawsuit is an extortion attempt, and besides, Brown is holding his Chihuahua hostage.
"This inflammatory lawsuit brought forth by Ms. Brown is nothing more than an attempt to extort Mr. Fischer after he ended their relationship," Fischer's lawyers told TMZ."It is unfortunate that she has stooped to the level of attacking my client through an outlandish lawsuit, covering up her illegal actions. Mr. Fischer is disappointed this has become a legal matter despite his efforts to bring about a respectful resolution. He is ready to put the matter behind him and move forward."
Brown's lawsuit charges that Fischer wrote to her in January, telling her he'd "just sent you the pics by text that I'm about to send out. You will see what my revenge will do," the Post said.
That same day, the lawsuit says, he sent her several explicit images of herself and added, "Sent everyone this … told you … I'll make sure I hurt you in every way I can." And then, the lawsuit says, he sent the images to "perhaps the most traumatizing audience imaginable — Amanda's mother."
TMZ reported that Fischer's attorneys wanted Brown's "outlandish" case sealed because it contains "unnecessary inflammatory, and hyperbolic allegations." Fischer filed suit against Brown in April seeking the return of the dog and a car she allegedly "absconded with" when their relationship ended. She "has been avoiding service of the lawsuit" the attorneys said in court papers.
In her lawsuit, Brown, who now lives in Tennessee, said that she and Fischer dated for two years beginning in early 2019 and that he behaved loutishly through most of it, the Post said.

Hello, thank you for the freeware Care Verde scenery. It looks great but I have detected a couple of anomalies I wanted to report to you regarding GVSF/São Filipe Airport. After selecting this airport, when the aircraft spawns into the scenery it is well to one side of the runway up on a hill. The other issue is that when you spawn in or land on the field, it sets off crash detection at various spots on the runway. Otherwise, the scenery is magnificent!
