FCC Introduces Amended Version of Consumer Privacy Rules
The Federal Communications Commission has offered new regulations — modeled on the Federal Trade Commission's Internet-privacy policies — that scale-back some of consumer privacy rules in the first version. Internet providers must still get the consumer's approval before selling her browsing history or other sensitive information to a third-party, but they are now allowed to market more data. Consumer advocates have given wide approval to the new plan. The FCC will vote on the revised regulations later this month.
The Wall Street Journal quotes Center for Democracy and Technology executive Chris Calabrese as saying that, "these rules will extend crucial protections to broadband customers, who have no choice but to disclose many of their digital activities and communications to broadband providers."
Also up for a vote are the FCC's new rules for the business data market, again scaled back from the original plan. FCC chair Tom Wheeler also "modified a proposal for opening up the market for TV set-top boxes, though that plan still faces opposition" from the cable/satellite industry.
Internet service providers "are seeking to monetize the valuable data they collect from residential broadband customers," and believe the FCC's original privacy proposal would "disadvantage them compared with Internet giants, such as Alphabet's Google or Facebook," which are governed by FTC rules. The new proposal adheres to FTC's approach to data and privacy, requiring consumers to opt-in for marketing of sensitive information to third parties and allowing ISPs to use of non-sensitive information unless customers opt out.
Verizon chief privacy officer Karen Zacharia says her company is "encouraged that the FCC appears to have taken seriously the input" of ISPs and others. Not everyone was so enthusiastic, however, and it's likely that the provision "requiring consumer opt-in for use of browser search history … could remain controversial." Google, for one, termed this "unjustified."
WSJ notes that, "the new proposal is an instance of big Internet companies joining with cable firms — whom they often oppose in other areas — to push for all the companies to maximize their ability to use consumer data." Or, as Public Knowledge executive Harold Feld puts it, "This a case where all the foxes have gotten together and said, 'We'd all like to keep our monopoly on the henhouse, but all of us would like to make sure there are no barriers to getting into the henhouse'."

Natalie Portman Responds After Rose McGowan Calls Out Her 'Deeply Offensive' Oscars Protest Cape As 'Fake' Activism
Steve Granitz/WireImage/GettyImages, Jo Hale/Redferns/GettyImages
Natalie Portman paid tribute to the women who were snubbed at this year's 92nd Annual Academy Awards ceremony by wearing a cape embroidered with their names.
Female directors like Greta Gerwig (Little Women), Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers), and Lulu Wang (The Farewell) – all of whom earned critical praises for their contributions last year – were excluded from the all-male nominated Best Director category.
The reverential cape was draped over Portman's black and gold Dior dress and was quite the exhibition on the red carpet.
But actress Rose McGowan was unimpressed with Portman's protest.
The Charmed actress—who accused movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of rape after keeping silent because of a cash settlement—said Portman's protest was "deeply offensive" and accused her of "acting" the part of a woman who actually does care about feminism.
Ironically, the criticism McGowan frequently levels against others is something many said about her after her cash payout for silence regarding Weinstein was revealed.

— The Hollywood Reporter (@The Hollywood Reporter) 1581519966.0
McGowan, 46, singled out Portman as a fraud who does not stand by her words with action in a lengthy Facebook broadside.
"Some thoughts on Natalie Portman and her Oscar 'protest.' The kind of protest that gets rave reviews from the mainstream media for its bravery. Brave? No, not by a long shot."
"More like an actress acting the part of someone who cares. As so many of them do."
"I find Portman's type of activism deeply offensive to those of us who actually do the work. I'm not writing this out of bitterness, I am writing out of disgust."
"I just want her and other actresses to walk the walk."
"Natalie, you have worked with two female directors in your very long career- one of them was you. You have a production company that has hired exactly one female director- you."

McGowan identified the problem that she believes contributes to the suppression of other women in the industry.
"What is it with actresses of your ilk? You 'A-listers' (🤮) could change the world if you'd take a stand instead of being the problem. Yes, you, Natalie. You are the problem. Lip service is the problem. Fake support of other women is the problem."

McGowan published her memoir Brave in January 2018.
She spoke out about her childhood living with the controversial group Children of God and about her sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein.
She took the opportunity to plug her book in her attack on Portman.
"As I wrote in my book Brave, what goes on behind the screen, goes onscreen, goes into the world. And it's a pervasive sickness that needs its own medicine."
"What you do affects the world, Natalie. As does what you do not do."

— Ryan William (@Ryan William) 1581520663.0
She accused Portman of merely acting a part and asked who the real woman is.
"I am singling you out because you are the latest in a long line of actresses who are acting the part of a woman who cares about other women. Actresses who supposedly stand for women, but in reality do not do much at all."
"Of course women in the world will keep buying the perfumes you promote, the movies you make, and think they're buying into who you are. But who are you?"
I agree that Natalie Portman needs to do more with the power that she has but why does Rose McGowan mostly attack o… https://t.co/01duW8smLu

McGowan recalled attending the Women in Film event where Portman once spoke and said that she "reeled off depressing statistics and then we all went back to our salads."
"I quickly realized you and the other women speakers (and that joke of an organization) are just... frauds. You say nothing, you do nothing."
And while Portman is by no means under any obligation to support a cause—especially that of women in Hollywood—she told her to "stop pretending you're some kind of champion for anything other than yourself."
"As for me, I'll be over here raising my voice and fighting for change without any compensation. That is activism."
"Until you and your fellow actresses get real, do us all a favor and hang up your embroidered activist cloak, it doesn't hang right."
But many others were quick to dismiss McGowan based on past actions.

Portman responded to McGowan in a statement and agreed she was not being "brave" by wearing the cape honoring the snubbed female artists at the Oscars.
In the statement obtained by Variety, Portman wrote:
"I agree with Ms. McGowan that it is inaccurate to call me 'brave' for wearing a garment with women's names on it."
"Brave is a term I more strongly associate with actions like those of the women who have been testifying against Harvey Weinstein the last few weeks, under incredible pressure."
"The past few years have seen a blossoming of directing opportunities for women due to the collective efforts of many people who have been calling out the system."
"The gift has been these incredible films. I hope that what was intended as a simple nod to them does not distract from their great achievements. It is true I've only made a few films with women."

"In my long career, I've only gotten the chance to work with female directors a few times – I've made shorts, commercials, music videos and features with Marya Cohen, Mira Nair, Rebecca Zlotowski, Anna Rose Holmer, Sofia Coppola, Shirin Neshat and myself."
"Unfortunately, the unmade films I have tried to make are a ghost history."
Portman cited the research of Stacy Smith of USC, who focused on the lack of films made by women.
"If these films do get made, women face enormous challenges during the making of them. I have had the experience a few times of helping get female directors hired on projects which they were then forced out of because of the conditions they faced at work."
@THR Damned if you do, damned if you don't. 🤷🏻♀ At least she's doing something unlike others who chose to be silent regarding the issue.
— Jojo Catbagan (@Jojo Catbagan) 1581548380.0
She continued, saying that getting major studios to green light or finance projects helmed by women continue being challenged.
"After they are made, female-directed films face difficulty getting into festivals, getting distribution and getting accolades because of the gatekeepers at every level."
"So I want to say, I have tried, and I will keep trying. While I have not yet been successful, I am hopeful that we are stepping into a new day."
People had plenty to say on social media, with many standing by Portman's response to McGowan's trenchant post.

In late March, Tim Courneya, executive vice president of the Northarvest Bean Growers Association, based in Frazee, Minn., asked the farmers-directors of his organization how many acres of dry edible beans they intend to plant this spring. Their collective answer, Courneya said, was, "Status quo" — or roughly the same number of acres as they planted in 2018.
So Courneya wasn't surprised that the annual Prospective Plantings report, released March 29 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service, or NASS, projected 2019 U.S. dry bean acreage at 1.237 million, virtually the same as a year ago. "Based on what I'm hearing, the Prospective Plantings number (for 2019 dry bean acres) is spot-on," Courneya said.


The Sixpence has been associated with weddings since the reign of Elizabeth I when often a Sixpence was given as a wedding gift. The Silver Sixpence is thought to bring wealth, health and happiness to the married couple and to ensure this the custom says the Bride should put the coin in her left shoe. Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Silver Sixpence in her shoe.
These little good luck symbols were soon becoming scarce and so the wedding industry began to omit the last line in this rhyme.
An actual sixpence piece is placed inside these pretty little lace bags. They can be incorporated/sewn into your chosen wedding accessory or simply purchased on their own for good luck.

Q: How to initialize UICollectionViewCell programmatically without Nib I decided to opt out of using a Xib to generate my custom UICollectionViewCell (StoneCell), so I've been struggling with how to go about properly initializing it programmatically.
I implemented:
- (CGSize)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
                  layout:(UICollectionViewLayout *)collectionViewLayout
  sizeForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    CGSize size = [MainScreen screen];
    CGFloat width = size.width;
    CGFloat item = (width*60)/320;
    return CGSizeMake(item, item);
}

as well as:
[self.collectionView registerClass:[StoneCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"stoneCell"];

in my UICollectionView controller.
In my StoneCell.m, I tried the following:
-(id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        StoneCell* stone = [[StoneCell alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
        self = stone;
    }
    return self;
 }

but to no avail.  When I build and run, I crash on self = [super initWithFrame:frame];   When I check the value of frame, it's correctly set at {{0,0},{70,70}} which is what it should be on the 6s.  However, the object stone (as well as self) are both reported as nil.
Clearly this is not correct, so I wanted to know how to initialize the cell properly.
I am also properly dequeuing the cell in:
-(UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
                 cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

so that's taken care of.

A: Your initializer should be
- (instancetype)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    return self;
 }

With your original implementation
-(id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        StoneCell* stone = [[StoneCell alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
        self = stone;
    }
    return self;
 }

you have an infinite recursion of initWithFrame.

A: // In  AMAImageViewCell.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface AMAImageViewCell : UICollectionViewCell

@property (strong, readonly, nonatomic) UIImageView *imageView;

@end

// In  AMAImageViewCell.m
@implementation AMAImageViewCell

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        _imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.contentView.bounds];

        _imageView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
        _imageView.clipsToBounds = YES;
        _imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;

        _imageView.layer.cornerRadius = 0.0;

        [self.contentView addSubview:_imageView];
    }
    return self;
}

@end

/******In the class where you have to use **********/
 [self.collectionView registerClass:[AMAImageViewCell class] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:ImageCellIdentifier];

// In cellForItemAtIndexPath
AMAImageViewCell *cell = [collectionViewLocal dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:ImageCellIdentifier
                                                                  forIndexPath:indexPath];

Holy Cross School Wins $10,000 Grand Prize in POWERADE "Power Your School" Contest
Holy Cross School was selected as a winner in the POWERADE "Power Your School" contest and received a $10,000 check from Coca-Cola today at a special awards ceremony.
NEW ORLEANS -- Holy Cross School was selected as a winner in the POWERADE "Power Your School" contest and received a $10,000 check from Coca-Cola today at a special awards ceremony. A group of students submitted a video, which won a $10,000 grand prize in the national contest.
The POWERADE Power Your School contest requires schools to submit a video or essay that demonstrates why the school needs or deserves the cash prize. A panel of judges rated entries based on creativity and originality, how well the entry fits the theme, incorporation of POWERADE in the submission, and the quality of the submission. POWERADE awarded 50 grand prizes of $10,000 and 150 first prizes of $2,000.
"Making the Impossible Possible" is the theme of the video submitted by Holy Cross School. You can watch the winning video on the Holy Cross School website. The entry features athletes from a variety of programs showing that practice while using the hydration power of Powerade can make you succeed.
The Holy Cross video included the talent of seniors Nathan Vail (editor), Trent Terminie, Kalil Thomas, Elias Brown, and junior Bryan Broussard (actors), under the direction of AV Club moderator Mr. Eric Ferry.
Thursday's pep rally also included a brief ceremony to honor the recent accomplishments of several Holy Cross teams: Powerlifting, Wrestling, Robotics, Basketball and Soccer.
Representatives from Coca-Cola who made the presentation included Jerry Drain (Business Development Rep), Mike Ortiz (Business Development Manager), Mike Martinez (Franchise Manager), Ron Fix (Territory Manager) and Lynn Bischof Bowers (Media and Promotions Manager - Gulf States Division).

This is what happens to a video after it has been uploaded, downloaded and re-uploaded to YouTube 1,000 times. Straight copying of digital data is (mostly) lossless -- it's compression and conversion that creates this sort of nastiness. Some of this degradation is noticeable even after only one generation (MP3s as an example).


As you may know we recently bought our own home. We were lucky that, as first time buyers we were able to buy such a lovely home for such a great price and, although we haven't been here long ,I'm already thinking of ways to improve it.
We have already decorated throughout and are lucky enough to have a three bedroomed house, although there is room to expand into the roof if we so wish. There is something about loft conversions that I just love, I don't know if it's the beams, quaint, slanted roof or the quirky roof blinds.
Our third bedroom is currently Ava's playroom but converting the loft would be an ideal way to maximise the space and create something new.
I would love to create a bedroom for Nath and I. A Pintrest perfect, light, bright room in cool grey tones. We would obviously need the obligatory slanted roof windows but there is nothing worse than being woken by sun light, luckily Itzala offer a huge range of roof blinds, from blackout blinds to Disney themed blinds, there is something for every taste.
Although I would be tempted to transform the space into a child's bedroom or nursery as their Disney themed roof blinds are so sweet and different, I know that Ava would just love the Cinderella blind!
Moving house is so exciting, I love having a blank canvas to create our perfect family home. I can't wait for our work so far to be finished so that I can show you around!

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

Driving automation is one of the key trends in technology, having recently surpassed its expectation peak in Gartner's Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies (Gartner 2016). In the the buzz around enabling technologies such as machine vision that have been advanced at breakneck speed in recent years, one easily overlooks the challenges associated with the operation of suchlike vehicles. We will likely have to wait another decade before steering wheels are disappearing in vehicles (ERTRAC 2015) and face the same fate as floppy disks in computing - a degadration from a crucial part of the system to a metaphor. Until then, the human driver and the automated system will have to cooperate in one way or another. There will, inadvertently, be situations that cannot be handled by the system and the driver will be prompted to take over within seconds.
What happens if the autopilot unexpectedly fails?
Pilot and co-pilot need to identify the problem, decide and finally act upon appropriate measures. Several incidents and accidents, however, illustrate that this is not always successfully done. A recent example is the crash of the Air France flight AF447 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France, that resulted in the loss of life of all aboard. In this particular case, the autopilot disengaged as a result of malfunctioning (likely obstructed) Pitot tubes. The pilots reacted incorrectly and manoeuvred the aircraft into a stall - but is human error really the major culprit? In the report analysing the incident (BEA 2012), the responsible French government agency identified the human-computer interface as a contributing factor, specifically misleading or missing feedback regarding the system state.
Decades of research within the aviation domain have aimed at analysing the Human Factors issues associated with the interaction between a human operator and an (imperfect) automated system. One of the key conclusions of this research is the Out-of-the-Loop Performance Problem, a term coined by Mica Endsley in the 1990s. The term describes the problem that human operators who have been completely detached from the control loop of executing a particular task (e.g. driving) are slow to detect the problem that led to a disengagement of the automation and, as a consequence, are unlikely to perform appropriate actions. You might interject at this point and argue that driving a car and flying an aircraft are not exactly the same piece of cake. I agree. The problems are potentised in driving. While pilots go through a rigorous selection process and are repeatedly trained throughout their career, almost anyone can drive a vehicle and is - in most cases - only trained once. This requires an extremely easy and intuitive-to-use as well as potentially adaptive human-machine interface. Further, drivers will only have seconds to arrive at a particular decision while pilots often have minutes. The illustration below summarises the key challenges associated with a takeover process.
Our research project aims at developing a data-driven, user-focused interface for automated driving systems that require the driver to take over control in critical situations. The research has two main objectives: improve driving safety and enhance the user experience. An increase in driving safety without the consideration of user experience is fruitless. In aviation, where safety is the foremost criterium, pilots may only manually control the aircraft for a few minutese. This, however, does not mean that they can go to sleep or watch movies for the remaining time. Instead, they constantly monitor the system's behaviour, go through checklists, etc. Small, specifically designed tasks to keep the pilots engaged to some degree. Does this work with passenger cars? It might be the safest way, but does it also grant a sufficient user experience? Our project aims at finding a compromise that ensures safety without neglecting experience.
Completion of a digital sorting task consisting of approximately 50 individual exercises. Duration: 20 minutes.

URBANUS is recognized as one of the most influential architecture practices in china. founded in 1999 under the leadership of partners xiaodu liu, yan meng and hui wang, the bejing-based studio has situated itself as more than just a design office, but as a think tank and research laboratory for urban-scale innovation.
in ruicheng, a county in china's shanxi province, URBANUS has renovated a temple that was originally constructed in 831 AD. the structure is believed to be the oldest surviving taoist place of worship, and the second oldest from the tang dynasty. prior to its renovation, the 'five dragons' temple was relatively unknown and had few visitors despite its historical significance. recent advancements in agricultural technology meant that villagers no longer prayed for rain at the holy site — a societal change that left the structure somewhat abandoned.
china's national cultural relics bureau started restoration of the temple in 2013, although the surrounding environment was left undeveloped. in 2015, vanke group asked URBANUS to lead a team of preservationists, landscape architects, and graphic designers to significantly improve the site's overall conditions. the plan surrounds the temple with a series of overlapping spaces that document the region's history in relation to ancient chinese architecture.
the site's spring has been renovated, while several cave dwellings have been preserved to be used as shaded rest areas. the caves have been restored using a traditional rammed earth method, which has now been passed on to local workers. the original muddy path that led up the hill to the temple has been replaced with stone steps, with a series of ground-colored walls used to draw visitors towards the site's focal point.
previously barren, the forecourt surrounding the temple has been activated through a reduction in its overall size. other programs now help occupy the space, with areas for mediation and observation joining various open-air exhibition halls behind new walls. importantly, the program seeks to restore the temple as an area of public gathering. 'the sustenance of a cultural relic cannot simply rely on a singular village, but also the support of tourism, and special outreach to the public,' say the architects.

UK Accuses Russian Military of "Malicious Cyber Attack"
By Special Operations | February 15, 2018 Cyber-attack, Science, SOF, SOFREP News, Weapons
The British Foreign Minister has pointed the blame at the Russian government, specifically their military for a global cyber attack that ripped thru European businesses a year ago, accusing the Russians of "weaponizing information" in the realm of cyber warfare.
Foreign Minister Tariq Ahmad said, "the U.K. government judges that the Russian government, specifically the Russian military, was responsible for the destructive NotPetya cyberattack of June 2017."
The fast-spreading outbreak of data-scrambling software centered on Ukraine, which is embroiled in a conflict with Moscow-backed separatists in the country's east. It spread to companies that do business with Ukraine, including U.S. pharmaceutical company Merck, Danish shipping firm A.P. Moller-Maersk and FedEx subsidiary TNT.
Ahmad said the "reckless" attack cost organizations hundreds of millions of dollars.
British Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson accused Russia of "undermining democracy, wrecking livelihoods by targeting critical infrastructure and weaponizing information" with malicious cyber attacks.
"We must be primed and ready to tackle these stark and intensifying threats," Williamson said.
Denmark's defense minister, Claus Hjort Frederiksen, said that the hack was meant to specifically cause damage. "Russians have lifted this up to a higher level where the aim is to cause harm just like in a military attack," he was quoted as saying by the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.
President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, denied Russia's involvement.
"We categorically deny the accusations. We consider them unfounded and baseless and see them as a continuation of a groundless Russophobic campaign," he said in a conference call with reporters.
While the Russians continue to claim that they are blameless, it remains a fact that too many of these attacks come from within their own borders and they've done precious little to stop them. And their businesses have been scarcely affected.

My almost 6-year-old daughter is crazy about dressing up. She has a collection of costumes with everything from princesses to pirates and she has been known to entertain us dressed in her favorite attire. Recently she has been on a kick where she enjoys singing and dancing to all of her favorite songs, so I was not surprised when she began asking for a costume that would be fun to wear while singing "karaoke style".
You can imagine her excitement when I was given the opportunity to select a costume from BuyCostumes.com for review. We sat down at the computer and literally browsed every costume in her size (which there were literally hundreds). Her heart was soon set on a fun, funky little leopard costume, which actually made her giggle with glee.
I love that BuyCostumes.com has reviews on their site along with each costume that give honest feedback from other customers. I found these especially helpful when selecting a costume. Based on previous customer reviews, I opted to order her the size Medium (7-10) even though she usually wears a 6/6x. I was a bit nervous as to whether the length would be too long for her but I went ahead with the suggestion of the previous reviewers and ordered up in size. I figured if it was too big, I could easily exchange it for a smaller size, since BuyCostumes.com offers free exchanges.
A few short days later, her costume arrived neatly packaged and ready to enjoy. We immediately tried it on and it fit very well. I found the costume very easy to put on and take off and my daughter was able to dress herself with minimal help. The material was soft and of good quality and the colors and design were perfect. She LOVED it from the minute she laid eyes on it and even asked if I would draw some "whiskers" on her cheeks to complete the look. I was impressed that the costume comes with pretty much everything you need to create an adorable "leopard" look. The only pieces we added of our own was a pair of tights and a black pair of shoes.
No sooner she was dressed in her precious costume, she found herself a microphone and was singing and dancing the afternoon away. I have a feeling that this costume will be making frequent appearances at our house as well as for themed library events and parties.
I have to say, BuyCostumes.com is such a pleasant and hassle-free way to shop for costumes – any time of year! With its unbeatable selection ranging from infants to adults and plus size as well as a range of prices to fit your budget, you are sure to find something for everyone in one shopping experience. I highly recommend heading over to their site to check out their awesome selection and deals. Don't miss out on their spring clearance sale, where you can save up to 80% off select costumes with the special code on the costume sale page. You may even find the perfect costume to put away for Halloween or for your little prince or princess to take along on a Disney trip!

According to the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania, shares are securities confirming the right of their owner (shareholder) to participate in the management of the company, unless otherwise provided by law, the right to receive dividends, the right to part of the company's assets remaining after liquidation and other statutory rights.
What shares can be transferred? The shares of a private limited company, whether tangible or intangible, may be transferred only when the following conditions established in Article 46 of the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania are met:
the transferable shares are fully paid;
the company whose shares are being transferred or the articles of association, which increase the authorized capital of the company, are registered in the Register of Legal Entities.
A transaction by which unpaid shares are transferred is contrary to an imperative rule of law and is therefore void. It should be noted that only the shares to be transferred must be fully paid. If a company has several shareholders and only one of them has not fully paid up its shares, the other shareholders, having duly fulfilled their obligations to pay for the shares, may transfer the shares held in accordance with the established procedure. The procedure for the transfer of shares of a private limited company is, in principle, regulated by Article 47 of the Law on Companies. In the general case, the transfer of shares of a private limited company consists of the following stages:
Having decided to sell all or part of the shares of the private company, the shareholder must notify the company in writing of the intention to sell the shares, their quantity and price. It should be emphasized that when a company has one shareholder, there is no pre-emptive right for anyone, therefore it is not necessary to notify the company about the intention to transfer its shares. It is advisable to serve such a notice to the head of the company by signature or by registered mail.
Share transfer transaction
The share purchase and sale agreement is subject not only to the general requirements of the agreements, but also to specific requirements that must be complied with. The share purchase agreement of a private limited company must contain the name, legal form, its code, registered office, number of shares to be transferred by classes and nominal value of the company whose shares are being transferred. In the absence of these data, the share purchase and sale transaction is void.

LGBT movement exploiting vulnerable autistic children to "trick" them into becoming transgenders
An anonymous whistleblower and teacher from Great Britain has brought some shocking claims to the table about transgender indoctrination that she says is taking place in British public schools – particularly against autistic children whom she says are being actively manipulated and "tricked" into thinking that they're the opposite sex.
As reported by the Daily Mail Online, this woman, whom the media is referring to as "Carol," says there are currently 17 students at her school, which is also unnamed, who all identify as transgender. And most of them, she explains in horror, are on the autism spectrum.
In order to feel "accepted" by other students at the school who have already made their "transition" to the opposite sex, younger students, mostly autistic, are being preyed upon to "switch" genders by the growing transgender lobby, Carol contends.
"I congratulate this teacher for coming out and telling us what I have long suspected has been going on in schools," stated conservative M.P. David Davies, as quoted by the Daily Mail Online, upon hearing the news. "It is horrendous that children are being encouraged by other pupils to identify as transgender, particularly if they have autism."
"Parents are not told about this and there is no way of challenging these pupils who are convinced by others that they have a problem they almost certainly do not have. Tragically the end result could be irreversible surgical procedures. This is scandalous."
At least one-third of children who opt for NHS transition surgery show "moderate to severe autistic traits"
As shocking as this all is, it's apparently not limited just to Carol's school. It's happening all over the U.K., with data from the National Health Service (NHS) revealing that at least one-third of all young people who go in for transition surgery show signs of what the health authority describes as "moderate to severe autistic traits."
100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety. A multitude of uses, from stress reduction to topical first aid. See the complete listing here, and help support this news site.
What this suggests is that many British children aren't actually suffering from true gender dysphoria, but perhaps other mental issues stemming from their autism diagnoses that make them ripe for the picking, so to speak, when it comes to being "recruited" into transgenderism.
"If a child genuinely has gender dysphoria then of course they should get all the love and support they need," Carol says. "But I believe that autistic children who are not transgender are being exploited by the transgender lobby. They are being brainwashed into believing they are transgender."
Teachers, faculty "terrified" that gender pronoun slip-up will cost them their jobs
The problem, however, is that teachers and faculty like Carol are basically muzzled from having any input into the matter. Should they dare to say anything to a developing youth under their care who might be struggling with pressure from transgenders to make a similar "conversion," they face being fired – or worse.
"I'm now so alarmed by the force of the transgender agenda that I'm not sure how much longer I can go on for, as I can no longer be honest with the students," Carol laments, further worrying that some of these manipulated transgenders will regret their decisions later on in life.
"We are being dictated to by groups who don't know these kids, to make decisions that are harmful to them. And we are giving children a huge amount of agency to make decisions when what they need are boundaries to make them feel safe and secure. It feels as if we are walking into a nightmare."
Ironically enough, all of this militant pressure that Carol says she's witnessing from transgenders at her school who are trying to convert all of the other students to transgenderism is nothing short of bullying and sexual assault, which has no place in the educational system. But what can be done about it, other than for vocal and brave opposition to finally step up to the plate and say: enough is enough!

If you've been following along on SnapChat and Instagram (@gretaeagan), you know that I recently relocated to LA full time. Yay! I loved being in Jackson Hole for the past year and collaborating with some super special people out there (Lindsay, Rich, Jairus and Conrad I mean you!), but it was time to get back in the action of a big city and LA had long been on my list.
1. Use an eye cream to moisten the eye are and prep it for color application. I like the one from Restorsea.
2. Draw a line three quarters of the way across your eye lid near the lashes with a cream eye shadow pencil in a neutral brown or grey color. I've been using the Stay Perfect shadow pencil from Boots No7 in Velvet Truffle.
3. Quickly, before the shadow sets, blend with your ring finger up and across your lid for full application across the lid. You may want to go back in with a brush and make sure you lines are soft and blended.
4. Line along the upper lash line with a creamy dark brown pencil. It will vary on how thin or thick you decide to make the line, but always blend it a bit with your finger or a brush for a softer feel. I like to keep my line really tight against (or even into) the lashes and go a tad thicker on the outer corners to make my eyes appear bigger and more awake. I'm loving the La Bella Donna eyeliners and especially the color Basic Brown.
6. Apply one coat of mascara for a more natural look and two if you are dressing up. I am beyond in love with Boots No7 Stay Perfect Long Lasting Volume Mascara in Black. It builds little filaments onto your lashes so you get incredible length and separation. Then, when it is time to remove it you simply pull the filaments off with warm water. It never leaves a mess and you can say good bye to raccoon eyes!
7. Brush out brows. Apply a colored brow gel at the middle to the end section of brows and wiggle side to side to work product into brows. Brush out once more and shape. My go-to brow gel is by Lavera in Hazel Blonde (which is pretty dark, so if you are blonde with light brows go for a lighter color).

Welcome to the Geriactive blog page. This page will allow me an opportunity to share some of my thoughts and perspectives on aging and elder care. My hope is that these views will assist you in your dealings with the elderly if you are a clinician or better allow you to understand and care for your aging parent or loved one. Ultimately, it may give you a better appreciation for your own aging process.
Our never ending search for the fountain of youth continues. It may not however be the fabled "eden-esque" location found in literature. Currently, we seek better health or a delaying of the aging process through medication, better nutrition, exercise and fitness, cosmetics and surgery. All in an effort to look and feel younger than our chronological age. Some approaches are highly effective and evidence based ( nutrition and exercise). Others are simply aesthetic alterations that do nothing to improve life's quality and ultimate longevity. Quality and longevity appears to be the real goal. I would submit that this is ultimately what we are all striving for. How we achieve this goal is highly individual.

The report says that students did not verify sources, had poor understanding of how search engines work, and were not good at differentiating between propaganda and accurate information.
Is there anyone who can differentiate between propaganda and accurate information? Twas ever thus, dammit. Human ignorance and gullibility is just adapting to new technology, is all.

What Are the Duties of a Head Boy?
Elizabeth Smith - Updated March 03, 2019
How to Deal with Running Behavior Problems at School
The position of head boy is granted to a student who exemplifies good behavior, grades and attendance. The title is common at schools in the United Kingdom. As head boy, a student is responsible for setting an example for other students at the school and for serving as a leader in school activities.
One of the most important duties of a head boy is to lead by example. Each day at school, he must act in keeping with school rules and regulations, keeping in mind that other students will look to him for behavioral clues. This includes showing up to class on time, participating in school events, maintaining good grades and showing school spirit at sporting events.
Represent the School
Head boys are often required to be ambassadors for their school at events around the county or even the country. At these events, which may include festivals and conferences, the head boy may speak on behalf of the student body, volunteer or man a school booth. At school parents' evenings, the head boy is usually present to speak with attendees.
Organize Prefect Duties
The head boy is responsible for organizing school prefects, who are leaders from each grade level. He must plan and assign duties, head meetings, explain the rules and regulations and is often the first line for prefect conflicts. The head boy ensures that prefects are taking care of their supervisory responsibilities and may speak with teachers to discuss any issues.
Participate on Committees
During the course of a school year, the head boy is responsible for serving on various committees to plan school events. He may head up committees for dances, school carnivals, newspaper activities, clubs or other organized events. He may also handle fund-raising events.
Read Daily Bulletins
Depending on the school, the head boy may read daily announcements, whether it be over a loudspeaker system or in person at assembly.
The head boy is often the person younger students go to when they are having problems with bullies or when they run into other trouble at school. Depending on the school, the head boy has a varying level of authority in such situations, but is always able to give advice and may organize a mediation session when necessary.

Reservoirs in Andalucia still at lower levels than last year
By Chris King • 30 March 2022 • 0:38
Guadalquivir basin has seven areas in an emergency drought situation. image: Google maps - Maria Trinidad Lara Perez
With the recent rainfall, reservoirs in Andalucia have increased their water levels, but are still lower than this time last year
Thanks to last week's heavy rainfall, the reservoirs in Andalucia have accumulated an extra 293 cubic hectometres of water. That is equivalent to another 2.56 per cent of their total capacity.
A total of 3,683 cubic hectometres is now contained in these water supplies, out of a possible total of 11,167. This equates to 32.98 per cent of the possible capacity, which leaves room for a lot of water still should it rain more.
This total is 11.76 per cent lower than the capacity of twelve months ago, when Andalucia had a water supply of 4,996 cubic hectometres, which was 44.74 per cent of the capacity.
According to data provided this Tuesday, March 29, from the Ministry for the Environment (MITECO), consulted by Europa Press, the water stored in the reservoirs of the Guadalquivir basin is at 29.85 per cent of its capacity.
That is a total of 2,422 cubic hectometres, 69 more in the course of a week. In those of the Andalucian Mediterranean Basin, the supply has increased to 42.42 per cent, with a total of 498 cubic hectometres, 122 more.
These are the two main reservoir systems in Andalucia. The others are Tinto, Odiel and Piedras in Huelva, and Guadalete-Barbate in Cadiz. Those reservoirs in Huelva increased by 14 cubic hectometres to 183, 79.91 per cent of their capacity, while in Cadiz they increased by 82 to 580, 35.13 per cent, as reported by 101tv.es.

View Full Version : Image Thumbnail Viewer II tweak?
Just discovered Image Thumbnail Viewer II and am hugely impressed. However, I was wondering if it is possible to tweak it so the title of the picture, which would appear under the thumbnail also appears under the enlarged version?
As far as I can tell, there is no 'title' involved in the script.
In the modifications put forth there, the title, I call it a caption, goes under the displayed image, not the thumbnail. Having a title for the thumbnails would just be a matter of putting text under each thumbnail image, unless you want the thumbnail titles to appear and disappear.


According to my birth records, it's been 30 years since my official hello to the world, so this "Hello" here is not actually coming from me, but from WordPress (Switched to Ghost), which is a software I use to publish this blog.
It is a tradition around programmers to make their software print out the phrase "Hello World" to prove their initial code is actually functioning. You can read more about the idea behind this from Wikipedia.

Susan M. Dymecki (born June 19, 1960) is an American geneticist and neuroscientist and director of the Biological and Biomedical Sciences PhD Program at Harvard University. Dymecki is also a professor in the Department of Genetics and the principal investigator of the Dymecki Lab at Harvard. Her lab characterizes the development and function of unique populations of serotonergic neurons in the mouse brain. To enable this functional dissection, Dymecki has pioneered several transgenic tools for probing neural circuit development and function. Dymecki also competed internationally as an ice dancer, placing 7th in the 1980 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

Early life and education
Dymecki was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 19, 1960. Before becoming a scientist, Dymecki was a competitive ice dancer. She started ice dancing when she was 13 years old and competed at the national level within the United States during high school.

Dymecki pursued a Bachelor of Science in Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and during this time she competed internationally in ice dancing. When Dymecki was 20 years old, her and her ice dancing partner ranked 6th in the United States. After taking a year off to compete, she completed her bachelor's degree and then stayed at UPenn to complete a Master of Science in Engineering. During her Master's, she worked in the lab of Carl Theodore Brighton exploring the use of electric current in stimulating osteogenesis.

After completing her master's degree, she pursued her MD-PhD in 1985 at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, studying under Stephen Desiderio. During her PhD, Dymecki discovered a new gene expressed in B cells, called blk for B Lymphoid Kinase, which helps to initiate an immune response. After completing her MD-PhD training in 1992, Dymecki became a Helen Hay Whitney Fellow and John Merck Scholar at the Carnegie Institution for Science in the Department of Embryology in Washington, DC. While completing her postdoctoral training, she pioneered novel genetic tools with which to study development in the mammalian nervous system. In 1997, Dymecki filed a patent for her genetic tool, which consisted of DNA constructs that enable transgenic expression of FRT recombination sites and a Flp recombinase in non-human mammals. Her technology has aided many researchers in achieving gene insertion, deletion, and modulation as well as label cell lineages to explore developmental stages.

Identification of B Lymphoid Kinase
During graduate school, Dymecki isolated and characterized a novel gene, blk, named after B Lymphoid Kinase. This gene encodes a tyrosine kinase protein, and is specifically expressed in B cell lineages. Through further characterization of the transcriptional of blk, Dymecki found that none of its transcriptional start sites are preceded by TATA elements, AT-rich elements, or other common start site motifs. Dymecki also found that blk is expressed in pro-, pre-, and mature B cells, but not the antibody producing plasma cells.

Flp recombinase tool development
During Dymecki's postdoctoral work at the Carnegie Institute, she pioneered the development of novel vectors that enabled targeted genetic manipulation of specific populations of mammalian cells. Using Flp recombinase, Dymecki shows that her genetic constructs can be expressed in mammalian cells to activate specific genes. In a following paper in 1996, Dymecki showed that her tool not only worked in cell culture, but also in vivo in living transgenic mice to mediate gene insertion and deletion via recombination at FRT sites. Dymecki's paper was the inaugural paper to show that Flp technology could be used to make specific alterations to the mouse genome.

Career and research
In 1998, Dymecki joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School and became an associate professor in the Department of Genetics. Dymecki's involvement with graduate education led her to become the associate director of the Biological and Biomedical Sciences PhD program in 2004. By 2010, Dymecki was promoted to Full Professor in the Department of Genetics, and the following year she became the Director of the Biological and Biomedical Science PhD Program at Harvard.

As the Principal Investigator of the Dymecki Lab, Dymecki runs a research program dedicated to exploring the development and function of serotonin neurons in the rodent brain. Since Dymecki has found that serotonergic neurons are implicated in a wide range of critical processes from respiration, to thermal regulation, to emotional state, her research addresses fundamental questions about how the specific neural subtypes and circuits underlying these processes develop such that they can be targeted in the future to treat disease.

Innovation of Flp recombinase transgenic tools
After establishing Flp recombinase as an available genetic tool for site specific recombination in the mouse brain, Dymecki further optimized this tool. By creating the FLPe deleter strain, which uses an enhanced, thermostable version of Flp, Dymecki found that her tool was just as effective as the already established Cre-loxP tools. Since highly specific targeting of cell populations requires combinatorial genetic strategies, Dymecki's optimization enabled Flp and Cre to be used together in mammalian transgenic systems to perform highly targeted mutations. Following this optimization, Dymecki and her team created a FLPer ("flipper") mouse line that has global, constitutive Flp expression that can be used to label specific cell populations, or to be crossed with other strains to create opportunities for cell-type specific conditional knockouts.

Serotonergic diversity in mouse brain
Dymecki's lab uses their transgenic tools to probe the diversity of serotonin neurons in the central nervous system. Using a variety of genetic profiling and developmental mapping techniques, Dymecki and her team were able to identify various subpopulations of serotonin neurons within the brainstem, and show the immense transcriptional diversity both between and within anatomically defined subpopulations of serotonin neurons. They also found that these transcriptional, anatomical, and molecular differences, lead to differences in function.

Serotonin neurons in aggression
Narrowing in on specific subtypes of serotonin neurons has enabled Dymecki and her team to identify the unique behaviors modulated by specific populations of serotonin neurons. For example, the Pet1+ serotonin neurons that also express either dopamine receptor 1 or dopamine receptor 2 were shown to be implicated in aggression. When these neural subtypes were silenced, male aggressive behavior in mice was increased, suggesting the unique role played in a behavior by a very specific population of brainstem serotonergic neurons. Dymecki and her colleagues then found that serotonergic neurons also mediate aggression in Drosophila.  They found two serotonergic projections, a GABAergic projection that decreased aggression when stimulated, and a cholinergic projection that increased aggression when stimulated.

Serotonin in respiration
Dymecki and her team have characterized the role of serotonin neurons in the regulation of breathing dynamics. By chemogenetically manipulating single sub-populations of serotonin neurons, they found one population, expressing Egr1-Pet1 that increases ventilation in response to acidosis. Following this study, Dymecki and her colleagues identified another unique serotonin population, this time characterized by Tac1-Pet1 that are also implicated in driving ventilation but differ in their projection targets and methods of sensing inhaled .

First post

I’ve switched over from using Hakyll + CircleCI to
Hugo. This allows me to write my posts
in Markdown, run hugo to generate the site. Then it’s
just a case of pushing to
git@github.com:spanners/spanners.github.io.git to update
the site at
spanners.github.io - where
you’re (probably) reading this content.

At some point I will document a step-by-step process.

Purpose

I realise I have no place where I document my programming
tips and tricks and lessons learned, so I figured I should
share it while I go - hence this site. That said, it is
primarily for personal use, so I may not curate it to the
same degree I would my professional work. If you get some use out of it, great.
