The 2016 US Presidential Election is, perhaps more than any election past, being shaped in large part by outsiders. The most anti-establishment influencer though, as it turns out, doesn't come from Vermont or an eponymously-named high-rise in New York, but from almost 5,000 miles away in Moscow.
On July 22, WikiLeaks published thousands of emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee, many of which suggest that the party apparatus was attempting to undermine Bernie Sanders' campaign. The information released in the emails was damning enough that it forced the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz and has cast a shadow over the beginning of the Democratic National Convention.
Evidence suggests that Russian intelligence was behind the leak – aptly timed to cause chaos at a nominating convention otherwise expected to have been uneventful. Disturbing as this incident would be on its own, it's only the most recent development in an emerging pattern. In June, cybersecurity experts and government officials confirmed that Russian government hackers penetrated the DNC's network and stole opposition research data on Donald Trump. The FBI is now investigating the breaches.
Domestic politics and the Kremlin's underlying strategic aims notwithstanding, this entire episode is an extremely troubling watershed in a larger pattern of nefarious Russian activity in the cyber sphere. The status quo has graduated from government-sponsored hackers conducting criminal – albeit routine – cyberattacks, to a nation-state with interests directly in conflict with our own actively manipulating the US political process in cyberspace. Russia's actions have reached a dangerous threshold.
Wishful thinking is no longer an acceptable cybersecurity practice. To meet the growing and apparent threat from state actors such as Russia looking to steal intellectual property, collect economic intelligence, or even undermine our democratic institutions, we must start taking cybersecurity seriously and treat it as it ought to be treated: as a matter of national security.
For one, high-level encryption for data at rest and in transit should be standard for any enterprise in 2016. There are commercially-available secure messaging platforms that are scalable and user-friendly that offer end-to-end encryption and the peace of mind that what is communicated between two parties stays between those two parties. Unless your communication is encrypted, assume someone is listening or reading in.
Second, there needs to be a complete overhaul of how employees in this country are trained to use their computers and safeguard their credentials. It takes one malicious file from a spear phishing email downloaded by a secretary to bring down an entire organization's network. Nowadays, an unattended package or any suspicious activity at an airport cannot go four minutes without being reported. It shouldn't take a cyber-9/11 for that level of vigilance to take root in our workplaces and on our computers.
Lastly, the US needs to fully utilize its unrivaled advantage in technology and innovation to track and defeat nation-state threats. American companies are making great strides in artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities that perform continuously refined small-pattern analysis on data from known exploits to help identify, track, and preempt the activity of black hat hackers. This next-level cybersecurity capability needs to become standard – like antivirus or firewall software – because the wider the network of threat-tracking platforms, the more effective the technology.
The American people have bemoaned their representatives in Washington and are calling for an outsider to shake things up. Unless we get serious about cybersecurity, however, the outsider that will have the biggest influence isn't a candidate and won't have the American peoples' best interest at heart – in fact, he won't even be an American.

Editorial: Glenwood is proof that Iowa should be protecting our vulnerable citizens
Updated: 6:23 PM CST Dec 20, 2019
Last week, news broke that the U.S. Department of Justice was looking into disturbing allegations at the state-run Glenwood Resource Center in western Iowa. Iowa's most vulnerable citizens live at Glenwood: Iowans with profound intellectual disabilities and complex medical conditions who require care that prevents them from living in their communities. The headlines are salacious. The DOJ is investigating whether these residents, these Iowans, were subjected to experiments regarding sexual arousal and hydration in violation of their civil rights. The Iowa Department of Public Safety was called in, and while it didn't find anything criminal at this time, the pending DOJ probe is troubling enough. Previous investigations in 2017 found some Glenwood staff verbally and physically abused residents and lacked training. Twelve people quit or were fired in the wake of that report. Six were criminally charged with abusing residents. This apparent legacy of abuse must end now. We challenge the Department of Human Services leadership team and its new director to make this a top priority. We need a thorough and transparent investigation. But they need help. The state's budget for mental health care and safeguarding the elderly has been significantly reduced over the years. We can't help but think this has a direct correlation with quality of care and oversight. The state must ensure that the DHS has enough funding to fulfill its mandate to safeguard these Iowans who cannot safeguard themselves. How we treat the least among us is a reflection of who we are as a society, and Iowa is better than these allegations. KCCI welcomes responsible replies to this editorial.
DES MOINES, Iowa —
Last week, news broke that the U.S. Department of Justice was looking into disturbing allegations at the state-run Glenwood Resource Center in western Iowa.
Iowa's most vulnerable citizens live at Glenwood: Iowans with profound intellectual disabilities and complex medical conditions who require care that prevents them from living in their communities.
The headlines are salacious. The DOJ is investigating whether these residents, these Iowans, were subjected to experiments regarding sexual arousal and hydration in violation of their civil rights. The Iowa Department of Public Safety was called in, and while it didn't find anything criminal at this time, the pending DOJ probe is troubling enough.
Previous investigations in 2017 found some Glenwood staff verbally and physically abused residents and lacked training. Twelve people quit or were fired in the wake of that report. Six were criminally charged with abusing residents.
This apparent legacy of abuse must end now.
We challenge the Department of Human Services leadership team and its new director to make this a top priority.
We need a thorough and transparent investigation. But they need help. The state's budget for mental health care and safeguarding the elderly has been significantly reduced over the years. We can't help but think this has a direct correlation with quality of care and oversight. The state must ensure that the DHS has enough funding to fulfill its mandate to safeguard these Iowans who cannot safeguard themselves. How we treat the least among us is a reflection of who we are as a society, and Iowa is better than these allegations.

Swoop House's Hospitality Honcho Has All the Luck
Stephen Shallcross carries on with Happy Foods and De Nada and more
By Wayne Alan Brenner, Fri., Oct. 30, 2020
Stephen Shallcross (Photo by David Brendan Hall)
"I am a great believer in luck," the writer Coleman Cox observed back in 1922. "The harder I work, the more of it I seem to have."
And ain't that just the truth, citizen? So you know that, when some successful person tells you they've been really lucky, usually what they're being is politely humble. Unless that person happens to be Austin's own Stephen Shallcross.
Which is not to say that Shallcross isn't humble or that he doesn't work his ass off, because he is and he does. But when he tells you that a lot of what's brought him to where he is in this town – he's the man in charge of the acclaimed 2 Dine 4 Catering company and its Swoop House headquarters and Supper Friends dinners and Happy Foods pivot, the Sawyer & Co. diner with its classic breakfast noms and perfectly constructed patty melt and authentic New Orleans entrees, and the new Sawyer-adjacent De Nada taco emporium – when Shallcross tells you he's been lucky, the circumstances of his fortune are sometimes sufficiently jaw-dropping that, yeah, he's not just being polite.
Consider, for example, the land that Swoop House occupies on Gonzales Street. "It's really the only smart professional thing I've ever done, and it was a total accident," says the hospitality honcho, who came from Baton Rouge in 1990 to attend UT and started out, with the help of friends Happy Adelbaki and John Haug, running food service for several Greek houses on campus.
"I wish I could say, 'I Could See the Eastside's Potential, So I Invested in Commercial Real Estate!' But what I did was lease space from a guy who was going bankrupt. That building" – he gestures across the property – "was Metropolitan Bakery at the time, in 2000, and so we were paying rent to him, but he wasn't paying the landlord. So he was evicted, and all my stuff was still in the building. So I meet the landlord on the courthouse steps, basically, and say, 'Please-please-please, lease the building to me, I've been paying the rent!' And he was like, 'I'm just not interested in leasing it anymore.' And my heart sank, thinking, okay, I'm out of business, because this guy technically owns all my stuff now. But he said, 'I won't lease it, but I'll sell it to you.' And I was like, 'Really? I, uh, I don't know if I can do that.' And he was like, 'Well, we'll work it out.'"
Shallcross smiles, relating this story at a table in the quirkily appointed gardens outside Swoop House. He's masked for this interview (we're all masked; there's a pandemic going on) but his eyes are definitely smiling. "And the landlord's name was John Lewis, and I can't tell you how many times I've thought of him over the years. Because he owner-financed what we couldn't qualify for, and – because of John Lewis – I've been able to do everything else that we've done. And by leveraging that one purchase, it helped us buy these other lots. It helped us buy Sawyer & Co."
Or consider Swoop House itself, that elegant example of early 20th-century architecture wherein are staged the sort of guest-chef dinners that leave people talking about the experience for years and where the new take-away operation Happy Foods is serving up healthy goodness seven days a week. Why is the place called Swoop House, anyway? Did it just, like, swoop down one day and there it suddenly was? Ha! OMG, what an idea, right?
Except it's true.
"Traditionally, as a caterer, I wasn't busy during the summertime," says Shallcross. "And so one day I answered an ad that said 'Free Garage Apartment,' and then I forgot about it. And a few weeks later, I got a call from this very sweet lady who said, 'Well, the first person didn't come and get it, and you were the second person. So I'm calling you, and you can have it if you want it." And I'm like, 'Well, that's wonderful. What are we talking about?' And she's like, 'It's a garage apartment.' And I'm like, 'You're ... giving away a garage apartment?' And she said, 'Well, the city is making me take it down.' She lived on Caswell Avenue in Hyde Park, and she had this really magnificent old house that her father had built, and there was a garage apartment that had fallen into disrepair and been condemned by the city. So, being the good Eagle Scout that I am, I start to tackle the project of demolition. Because there was a cool cast-iron bathtub in there, and a lot of old wood that I could use. I already owned a 100-year-old house, so I had a little experience, and the wood matched my own house pretty well. But, with the demolishing, I was really in over my head; it's a miracle that I did not die." He pauses, lowers his mask for a sip of coffee.
OK, but that was an apartment and it was being demolished; Swoop House is an entire, well, house. I point this out to Shallcross between bites of a Happy Foods spring roll bowl that's making my mouth very happy indeed.
"Yes," he says, "but while the demolition was going on, somebody was driving by, and they stopped and said, 'So, you do demo?' And I was like, 'Apparently, I do.' The guy worked for David Weekley Homes, and he said, 'We've got a house that needs to be demo'd – let me show it to you, it's just a few blocks away.' So I rode over with him and looked at the house, and I was like, 'You want to tear this down?' And he said, 'Well, you can move it, if you want, or whatever.' And I was already planning to build an office for 2 Dine 4 at the time, so I went to our architect and was like, 'Stop! Come help me sketch this – it's a big house I'm going to move!' It was the most expensive free thing I've ever gotten, and I remember telling my wife at the time, 'Hey, I got a free house today!' But I hired Junior Brown to move it, and he was awesome, and it was really a fun adventure to move the thing, to get it from Hyde Park to here. My absolute favorite moment was riding in the house, waving to our neighbors, like 'I'm moving in!'"
And then, of course, it was just a small matter of getting the proper building permits for everything. But, if you've ever tried to run a business or remodel a property in Austin, you'll know I'm mugging sarcastic with that "a small matter" phrase. Still, Shallcross relates his challenges almost cheerily.
"When the economic downturn happened in 2008 and all our destination catering just disappeared in 2009," he tells me. "We'd been setting up events in Cabo San Lucas, St. Lucia, Costa Rica, and Pebble Beach and so on, and when all that went away, we had to re-focus on catering in Austin. And when we originally got the permits for the Swoop House, it was supposed to be permitted as an office. But I'd had the architects write Tasting Area on the dining-room area on the building plan, and when we went to the plan review, the reviewers said 'Oh, so you're a restaurant.' And I was like, 'No, we're a catering company. Occasionally we're gonna bring in brides and grooms for sampling, yes, and we'll bring in food from across the parking lot, but we're not a restaurant.' I was like, 'We catered in the mayor's office last week – that doesn't make his office a restaurant.' But they said, 'If you're feeding people there, there's no other classification for it.' So we jumped through a few more hoops to get it permitted as a restaurant – even though I never in a million years thought we'd ever be that."
Shallcross pauses for another sip of that excellent coffee.
"But then one of the first tastings we did in Swoop House was very unusual," he continues, "because we had a bride who'd picked out a menu that we all kind of liked, and we had this other bride who was like, 'The food's not that important to me, but I know I'm supposed to taste stuff, so will you just give me a sample of whatever you want?' So I asked the first bride if she'd mind me inviting another bride and groom to come to the tasting? And she's like, 'I don't mind,' and so we had these two brides and two grooms who were coming over to eat the same thing. And the day that that was scheduled, we had someone else call us, who said, 'Look, I was just told today that we really should meet with you about the catering, but I'm leaving for California tomorrow morning, is there any way that we could come in in the next few hours?' And I said, 'Well, what are you doing for dinner tonight?' And I was like, 'Hey, Chef, can we do six tonight?'" So we fed three brides and three grooms together at the same table – and the wedding photographer who'd recommended us, who was a good friend who lived nearby, we invited them, too – and it was hilarious. Because, normally, a tasting is me sitting at the head of the table and talking my head off and answering questions, but this tasting was a regular dinner party of strangers – and the grooms talked and the brides talked, and the photographer talked, everybody just chatting about weddings and things, and it was amazing. And at the end of the dinner, the chef looked at me and said, 'Every tasting should be just like this.'"
[Journo's note: I went to a couple of 2 Dine 4's Supper Friends dinners, back in the Before Times. And the food at those events, the thoughtful service within the elegant setting ... yeah, most dinner parties should be just like that.]

"I'm thinking about applying for a nursery permit, so we can sell some of the plants we've got here in the garden. Guests could come in for brunch, leave with a new plant!" – Stephen Shallcross on Swoop House
"And this commissary building," says Shallcross, referring to what was Metropolitan Bakery, "we've had so many tenants in there over the years, and we've got to see so many successful businesses begin and thrive. Tracy Claros with Sticky Toffee Pudding started here, and Cosmic Kombucha started here, and Zilks Hummus. Cake & Spoon is still here, and Arlo's Vegan Burger. And, most recently, Rebel Cheese was commissary-ing for their cheese here – and they're doing really well now. I'm like, why didn't I start a vegan cheese company? But, yeah, the Swoop House has been the impetus for most of this."
We won't even mention how Shallcross acquired that House's coral chandelier, or the antique bar from a 150-year-old pub in Ireland, or how ... listen: We won't mention any more about luck at all, except to note that, here's the longtime Austinite and his several businesses, right here with the rest of us: in the seemingly endless midst of bad luck known as 2020.
But he's surviving. Surviving enough, in fact – thanks to his own work and the help and connections of an Austin hospitality industry interwoven with so many go-getters he's been involved with over the years – that he's opened this new De Nada taco joint next to Sawyer & Co. on East Cesar Chavez, pivoting service to the outdoors and serving up the margaritas and a diversity of tacos so good that any of them could make you weep into your salsa verde. Oh, but no brisket tacos in particular – because the man knows what's up. "Yeah, no," he clarifies, "our tacos are great, but if I want a brisket taco, I'm going to Suerte. Because nobody makes a brisket taco better than Fermin Núñez."
So: humble? Or just accurate? In any case, Shallcross, bright eyes twinkling above that mask, always alert for the next opportunity – "I'm thinking about applying for a nursery permit," he says at Swoop House, "so we can sell some of the plants we've got here in the garden. Guests could come in for brunch, leave with a new plant!" – Shallcross is, as ever, downright lousy with the good fortune that often comes of community engagement and sustained effort.

Yeah, I think Mallorie is related to one of them and Liz the other, it's kind of obvious. There's no reason to have two completely characters to have the same last name unless they're related.

I have to agree some what with MOB on this one. It's starting to look more and more like Saints Row than GTA every new preview that comes out, and that makes me sad.
And I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that hates the idea of Frankie Van Who-sit's being introduced over Claude Womb.

Ooh Temp Bans boys.. get back on your leashes
Seriously though it would very unusual for these guys to be names Bardas and Torres and not be related to Mallorie and Liz. Armando looks like Andreas... maybe they're all siblings.
Seems stereotypical to make all the hispanic/latin gangsters siblings...but then again it would be even dumber to just name these two guys after two main characters and act like it's nothing.

Neone else notice that at the end of the trailer, they switch from standing infront of cowboy autos, to infront of the apartment across from dwaynes in northwood?
I even went in the place and looked around, and found some interesting stuff. There's graffitti that i've never seen in there before such as "Youre in hell now puta" and this is written on the wall in bold letters going down. Sounds like a threat to me.
Only diffrence from dwayne's that you can't go up the stairs, but this maybe where henrique/armando or both of them live, since it's located in Northwood.

They still look amazing. For people who think this game is gonna be one big joke - I'd hold your reservations. Just because it includes surreal characters and settings doesn't mean the storyline will be awful (the GTA Vice City storyline in my opinion was amazing and that was 80s madness at its best). I expect this storyline to be superb, as has been the case with GTA IV and GTA TLAD, and of course it will complete the epic crime saga that happens in Liberty City. Afterall, the GTA IV storyline are the epics of Martin Scorsese or Sergio Leone in terms of its setting, its epicness and its story (in my opinion of course) for the my generation.
Same with Rockstar North's depiction of black gangs in early 90's Los Angeles, though that could be what it was really like.
I guess that was directed at me
I really hope it's not just one big joke although from what we've seen so far it looks to be one. I loved Vice City and San Andreas when they came out but that was that Era and we're in a different time now as far as GTA games are concerned. GTA IV was brilliant.. the story was quite serious but every aspect outside it
(and sometimes inside it) was utterly hilarious, the same goes for The Lost and Damned. From what I've seen of Gay Tony so far is litterally like a circus... Clowns, Parachutes, Dancing, Goats (haha) and a big pile of elephant sh*t.
There's a difference between being humourous and being downright silly and I think Rockstar are going for the latter just to please a certain niche of the GTA Community. Admittedly I don't really know much at this stage and I'm not saying it doesn't look good (because it does) but Hopefully the game has a lot more redeeming factors than what we've already seen.
But I think a bit of silly will do the GTA IV's Liberty City really well. We've had a Goodfellas and our Once Upon a Time in America in the city, now I think we deserve our Analyze This. I doubt it's all going to be one big joke. It is definitely going to be sillier, but would that be a bad thing in this particular case? All it means is that the story is going to be more Michael Bay than Michelangelo. I say "so what?". Not only does it shut up the SA fanboys but also adds a sense of over-the-top, epic action that I believe GTA IV lacked in some parts. Dancing mini-games etc are simply small gimics that just add to the atmosphere of the game, the theme of which afterall is primarily the ultra-hedonistic lifestyle of the rich (esp. in Liberty City) and clubbing scene. It's still going to have a better story than Saint's Row. That's a given.
In summary I just think they're sleeping on alot of things that real GTA Fans would like to see such as continuity and an interlinking story featuring some of the unseen characters from GTA IV etc. In favor of over the top action and madness that dissengages from the stories of the other two games. If this game were about Gangsters doin gangster sh*t I feel it would be more compelling and Real (in a surreal video game sense) than a game based around what is essentially kids stuff that people think is "Cool" and "Awesome" when they're ten. Like a guy that's in debt gets his latino servant to go on one of Bill and Ted's excellent adventures and have the most fun ever in the hopes of getting them out of debt...
[insert every emoticon that vaguely conveys disbelief here]
That's all I'm gonna say on it though because not only do I feel I'm repeating myself but I'll probably
(with any luck) eat my words come the end of the month.

I was snooping around northwood, and found the area with this picture
http://rockstarbase.com/imgs/armando/imagepages/image31.html
It's not but one block away from where luis and the boys meetup, and also not that far from where luis mom lives.
The place in the picture, i was again snooping around and saw the building in the picture could very well be luis first safehouse.
Not that far off from mommy and where his ND3 homies live.
In northwood
Has a car garage to park cars and a Bball court in the back, nice place to do some drug dealings.
Luis might also be able to go underground, as the door in the picture looks like it might lead luis to the sewers or to a hideout for ND3 sorta.

At 15 seconds, where the guy in the red and black jacket is taking cover behind a cargo container, it looks like there's a sail boat behind him in the water, with it's sails down. Was this in GTA IV? I'm no expert, but I thought it might be new. Have a look and let us know.
Good find OP.
Can someone adress this, or perhaps put up screen cap of it. I would, but I'm a tech tool.
Thanks for all the help you guys, I really appreciate it.
Where's Foddzy when you need him?
Can no one help me out here?

Ok then TLAD had nothing... I was just trying to justify the money I paid 4 it.
TLAD had a lot. It had cool bikes, pretty cool weapons(maybe not compared to BOGT..), great missions, realy cool interiors(Clubhouses and Brian´s house). The whole biker atmosphere was great. TLAD was awesome, but not because of the story.
I didn't mean that literally man it just seems like that's the way a lot of people think. I loved TLAD and I have a feeling that I won't like TBOGT half as much because it's turning into a circus. TLAD delivered on almost every pre conceived idea I had but it seems like with TBOGT they just decided to make it as silly as they could meanwhile throwing out the "hood" element that we were all looking forward to. It's like they just threw away the script and ignored all the pieces that were put in place just to please the casual gamer who could care less about the finer details and just want to play something "Fun"
It's a circus because of what? Because of the new toys we're getting? I'm not getting you. GTA is all about doing stuff you can't do in real life, that does exist in real life. I don't see anything about TBOGT that is too silly. All these things exist in real life.
How can you know they threw away the script? You don't even know the story yet! Wasn't the hood element allready implemented when they created Luis and made the impossible trinity achievement. I really don't get your point.

Sorry about that must have missed that, if you look at Rockstars BoGT page it looks as if your talking about the Smuggler boat. If that's the boat your talking about than it is new.

@ Money Over BS, I dont agree, but I do see your point. Obviously you are someone that takes more notice of the story and characters than I would, and I can see that TBOGT isnt really being marketed from that viewpoint.
As an older player though, ive found this whole 'serious story' attempt as actually more immature than a lot of other GTAs. I mean that in the sense of, Ive grown out of being impressed by 'angry shouty sweary' characters running around shooting and shouting 'f*ck' a lot.
To me that's no more sophisticated than anything from SA for example. Having generic missions after a load of dialogue just impacted it more for me, and by the time TLAD arrived I was pretty sick of the pseudo dramatics. I just want a chunk of GTA that will be replayable, (I dont mean restarting the missions) and a bit of escapism.
"a game based around what is essentially kids stuff that people think is "Cool" and "Awesome" when they're ten." < Thats how I felt about IV's attempts at drama. At least if the characters are dumb as hell, things cant get too anally retentive.

From the looks of it, ND3 wears red, grey and possibly blue?
If you had noticed by now, all of the street gangs in GTA IV (with the exception of the Spanish Lords) don't have color-based identifiers anymore.

Yeah and it sucks...It's more realistic this way, but I liked knowing when I was picking a fight with a half dozen guys and who they represented.
And I don't know why everybody keeps raggin' on Armando & Henrique, yeah they are rather juvenile characters but what do you expect? They are a couple young of uneducated hoods that are likely going to be the comic relief of the ND3 side of the story (mind you a lot of the characters are lookin' quite comical rather than believable at this point, but it's a game so deal with it)
I have nothing against Armando and Henrique. They seem silly, but not too silly.
I have a problem with Frickie Van Hardenburg. I hope to god he is only featured in the mission where you blow up the yacht and possibly one other mission, and nothing else. If he has a big part in the game I will be so angry.
I'm curious about that. Why would you be angry about FVH possibly playing a big role in the game?

FVH sounds like a cool character, he's like Wome mixed with Petrovic.

once again, people are acting like they are best friends with characters we have never even seen before. Wome, the Gomezes, Vallerio. It's the same thing with the Tampa
Just saying from what we know about the characters, he's like them.


It would be nice to add URL matching for the discography page relationship type. The ones here are the most common Japanese label pages which have a consistent URL scheme in our database and can therefore be easily matched (this is obviously not everything, but we can create new tickets for other sites). The regexes are the strictest ones I could do to match the URLs, but we probably want to make them match https and www/no-www too.


U.S. News & World Report recently released its 2015 rankings for online graduate nursing programs, and the University of West Georgia's Tanner Health System School of Nursing was ranked number 41 out of over 1200.. Programs that are offered mostly or entirely online at regionally accredited institutions are evaluated for the rankings.
Dr. Jenny Schuessler, dean and professor of the Tanner Health System School of Nursing, is very pleased with the rankings. "The importance of the recognition of the Tanner Health System School of Nursing's graduate programs, all of which are 100 percent online, by U.S News & World Report as a top-ranked school cannot be overstated," she said.
Schuessler is proud that their hard work hasn't gone unnoticed. "This ranking is a timely affirmation of the hard work, planning, and innovation of the faculty and students in the school's masters and doctoral nursing programs," she said.
"This recognition supports our emerging reputation for academic excellence and a commitment to caring," Schuessler said.
U.S. News & World Report bases their rankings on five general categories. They include student engagement (30 percent), faculty credentials and training (25 percent), peer reputation (20 percent), student services and technology (15 percent), and admissions selectivity (10 percent).

Q: create javascript code from obfuscated javascript code I want to know is it possible to reproduce obfuscated javascript code(create javascript code from obfuscated javascript code).
I have some javascript code in my website. I want to prevent others to edit it. For that I user obfuscation. So I want to know, is it possible to create original javascript code from an obfuscated code.

A: You can use a code formatter like JavaScript beautifier to bring the code back into a more or less readable structure. It is impossible to re-build meaningful variable names from compressed ones, though, so in the end, it's not possible. And it's a good thing that it isn't - that's the point of obfuscating code, isn't it?

A: It's fairly straightforward to turn the obfuscated code back into the effective javascript that runs - typically you just need to expand a bunch of eval calls.
The tricky part, as others have stated, is giving names to the variables so that you can work out what something like v7 = a4.l2(h8, n1, p9) means.  Something I've found helpful is to start from the "edges" (library calls that can't be renamed" and then rename things as helpfully as possible.  You'll often find that this knowledge then ripples through the code, making it easier to grasp the next layer down and give it a sensible name.
So for example, if you had some code like this:
z4 = "a";
o0 = "href"

...

pr = window.document;

...

q8 = pr.getElementByTagName(z4)[0];

...

function rr(o8, em)
{
   return o8.getAttribute(em);
};

...

y5 = rr(q8, o0);

Then the last line is initially impenetrable, but if you decide that rr could be called getNamedAttribute, rename z4 as LITERAL_A, o0 as LITERAL_HREF and pr as document; then we can see that q8 is the result of document.getElementByTagName(LITERAL_A)[0], so we might call it firstAnchor.  Then q8 = getNamedAttribute(firstAnchor, LITERAL_HREF) and all of a sudden it's clear it's the (string) target of the first hyperlink.
Since this transformation requires inference on behalf of the reader, it's not possible for this to be an automatic process (for exactly the same reason that a compiler won't warn you about inappropriate variable names).

A: If you only have obfuscuated code and want to modify/make sense of it,  the only thing you can do is indent it properly so it's more readable, then start from the begining of the process and rename the functions and variables yourself trying to work out what the purpose and function of each is.  It's a time consuming and slow process and can be very tricky.

For the review of the first book of the series - Rise of the Sun Prince, please go here.
I had enjoyed reading the 1st book of the series, so when I received a mail from the author for a review of the book 2 of the series, I was elated and accepted the offer eagerly. I am so glad to have read this book. It is one gem of a book, and I must confess here that I enjoyed it more than the 1st one.
The story in the second book of the series revolves around the events before the announcement of Rama's coronation, the sudden turn of events leading to his exile and the agony that follows thereafter.
The beauty of the book lies in the narration and the way it seamless connects all the events. Each and every character get the due attention; so you can visualize each and every scene in your mind. The readers get to know about Dasaratha's inner fears and his love for Rama, Manthara's scheming mind, Keikayi's infamous tantrums, Rama's sense of Dharma, Bharatha's sense of duty, and also the devastating effects Rama's exile has on the citizens of Ayodhya.
Even if you have read other books on Ramayana before, you will get to know something new here - you will be able to see the events in a new perspective. Another unique specialty of the book are the foot notes. These are little pearls of wisdom which educates the readers about applying the lessons from Ramayana in their own life. So, this book does a double job - it not only regales you with the stories from the epic saga, it also makes you understand the crux of the stories and how they can be applicable in your life. For example, by abiding by the order from Dasaratha to go to exile Rama shows his detachment from worldly things; Sita by accompanying Rama into exile shows that her love for Rama is above the comforts of a palace, and so on.
The language used is simple and the narration is 'spot on'. This is one book, I can surely re-read several times. Of course, I can't wait to find out what the third book of the series have in store. It will be marked by the entry of another legendary character - Ravana, so, I am pretty sure that it will be quite exciting to read that too.
I took my time to read the book, as I believe that is the best way to absorb all the information and lessons you are going to get from the book. So, by advice is read it slow and enjoy the journey.
I strongly recommend it to all mythology lovers. You shouldn't miss the opportunity of reading this one.


Accepting SNAP/EBT benefits at farmers markets can create a more inclusive, accessible market space for low-income community members. However, it's important for market organizers to carefully examine whether accepting SNAP is right for their market and determine the required resources and capacity needed to run a successful program. This guide is for farmers market organizers, public health professionals, and food justice advocates who want to learn how farmers markets can accept SNAP/EBT benefits. The guide includes an overview of SNAP/EBT in North Carolina and how to implement a successful SNAP/EBT program at farmers markets. The guide also describes farmers market nutrition incentive programs and how farmers markets can implement their own incentive program.
An exciting addition to the Second Edition is four case studies of North Carolina farmers markets with existing SNAP/EBT programs. The farmers market vary in size, location, and community demographics. Market managers reading the guide will be able to use the case studies to find the farmers market that most resembles their own. From there they can learn what their market might reasonably expect from starting a SNAP program including equipment costs, transaction volume, outreach efforts, etc.
< p style="text-align: left;">The Resource and Appendix section contains several templates, sample surveys, and tools for farmers markets to adapt for their own use.
As a companion to the Guide's section on record-keeping, RAFI is also offering a new tool, the Guide to Excel for Farmers Market SNAP/EBT Programs. This downloadable Excel workbook contains instructions, tips, templates for SNAP/EBT record-keeping in Excel 2013; we hope to offer a guide for additional versions of Excel and Google Sheets in the future.
Download the Guide to SNAP/EBT for NC Farmers Markets here.

Team Obama to double budget for treating 9/11 responders in an amazing same-day U-turn
By MICHAEL McAULIFF
| DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU |
The Obama administration swung into action with extra cash after initially saying it did not support funding the 9/11 health bill. (Booher/AP/AP)
WASHINGTON - The White House revealed Thursday night it boosted funding for ailing 9/11 responders - pumping more money into the treatment program than ever before.
Team Obama disclosed the cash only after outraging New York lawmakers with the news that the administration won't back a permanent plan to help the dying Ground Zero responders.
The White House confirmed it will more than double the budget for treating ill responders to $150 million in 2011.
The abrupt revelation came after the Daily News reported New York lawmakers were shocked Wednesday when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the administration does not support mandatory funding for the $11 billion permanent treatment plan.
"I was stunned - and very disappointed," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
"To say the least, I was flabbergasted," said Staten Island Rep. Mike McMahon.
Family members also were infuriated by the lack of permanent support. "I thought that these people would be taken care of. I would have expected better from this administration," said Lorie Van Auken.
The delegation hopes President Obama will reconsider and put victims of the terror strike on a footing close to wounded soldiers, perhaps even funding the 9/11 health bill with the military.
"We are focused on strengthening the World Trade Center health program and providing needed resources through the budget," White House spokeswoman Moira Mack said.
New York legislators were thrilled to learn of the one-year funding boost.
"I am so pleased the administration heard the concerns of my colleagues and I," said McMahon, praising the belated payout during a tough budget.
Lawmakers still believe a permanent fix needs to be made so responders don't have to take hat in hand for every new budget and political cycle.
Sebelius "made it clear that the administration does not support any kind of funding mechanism that's built into the bill," said Bronx Rep. Eliot Engel. "They find money for everything else, they need to find money for this."

FDA Accepts Applications for Muscular Dystrophy Drug Deflazacort
Treatment wins priority review
New drug applications (NDAs) for the investigational treatment deflazacort (Marathon Pharmaceuticals) have been accepted for filing and granted a priority review designation by the FDA. The NDAs (one for immediate-release tablet formulations and one for an oral suspension formulation) request approval of deflazacort for the treatment of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the most common and most severe form of muscular dystrophy.
Priority review status is reserved for drugs that offer significant improvements over existing options or provide a treatment for a condition for which no approved treatment currently exists. The designation shortens the FDA's review time from 10 months to a goal of six months.
The NDA filing included data from studies showing that deflazacort improved muscle strength and other functional outcomes in patients with DMD regardless of genetic etiology and, in one of the studies, ambulation status.
Deflazacort is a glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant properties. It is not approved in the United States for any indication. Versions of deflazacort are available in some countries outside the U.S., where it is approved for a number of indications, but not for DMD. If approved, deflazacort will be among the first commercially available treatments indicated for DMD in the U.S. There is no cure for DMD and currently no FDA-approved treatment.
In a pivotal, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and active-comparator study that followed 196 patients with DMD, deflazacort met its primary endpoint of improved muscle strength compared with placebo at 12 weeks. Improvements in muscle strength continued through the end of study at week 52.
Adverse events associated with deflazacort include weight gain, increased appetite, Cushingoid appearance (facial puffiness), unwanted hair growth, skin redness, and headache.
DMD is the most common and most severe form of muscular dystrophy. It affects mainly boys and young men, with an incidence of approximately one in 5,000 live male births. The disease is marked by progressive muscle weakening and wasting, leading to the inability to walk by the teen years or earlier, and to severe respiratory and cardiac complications. Few patients live into their 30s.

One of the hardest financial decisions you'll face when naming or renaming a company or product is whether you should splurge for the exact .com domain name—and, if not, how you should adapt the URL so that it fits with your brand and allows consumers to easily find your site.
On the one hand, buying an exact .com domain makes finding your website much easier for customers and lends invaluable prestige to your company. On the other hand, purchasing an exact .com domain can be very expensive, especially if you are looking for a real English word.
Furthermore, limiting yourself to just exact .com domains will likely exclude names that otherwise would work well for your brand but are simply unavailable for purchase as a domain.
Here is my advice for anyone struggling with such a decision.
1. If your company is involved in online commerce, or consumers make transactions through your website, then invest in the exact URL. Retailers benefit from the cachet of an exact domain. Also, you don't want customers to have difficulty finding you; if they have to google you, they can be potentially siphoned away by ads or other search results.
2. If you are renaming an established company that previously had an exact .com, you should procure the exact .com for your new name as well. Opting for a modified URL in that situation would be a step toward lower prestige and could exacerbate a (fairly unavoidable) period of confusion after the renaming.
3. If you are the sole heir to the fortune of Mrs. Moneybags—or you're VC-backed—and you have ample funds at the ready, then go for it! You might as well give your company as much of an advantage as possible.
If done right, modifying a .com domain won't inhibit a good company from growing and succeeding. Famously, Dropbox started at www.getdropbox.com, Square started at www.squareup.com, and plenty of companies that never even dropped the modifier—such as Method at Methodhome.com, or us here at CatchwordBranding.com.
If this is going to be your approach, first identify modifiers common to your industry, such as "health" or "medical" for healthcare services; using such modifiers will make your website address easier to remember for consumers.
Of course, there are plenty of other options; you just need to find the one that fits best with your name in tonality (Inc sounds more corporate, Go is active, Planet is friendly), sound (maybe one is alliterative, or simply more euphonic), and of course, budget and availability.
It's likely you'll find some options that are unregistered, and some that you would have to buy.
Another route you can take for a more reasonably priced domain name is to use a non-.com TLD. Country-code TLD extension, such as .ly (Libya), .co (Colombia), and .me (Montenegro) have become prolific and accepted by consumers in recent years.
Some of those extensions will need to be incorporated into your name (Instagram started out as Instagr.am (Armenia), for example), and you probably shouldn't use a domain with .ly if you don't want it to be part of your name when spoken aloud. Other extensions, such as .co, can simply replace the .com.
As with the modifiers, certain extensions are linked with certain industries; for example, .io (British Indian Ocean Territory) extensions are being used by technology companies, because "io" is shorthand for input/output, and .tv (Tuvalu) is associated with—you guessed it—television or video streaming sites.
The danger with using alternate TLDs is that they are trendy, and trends go in and out of style. The .ly extension is already beginning to feel shopworn (Bit.ly is now Bitly.com), and new companies with -ly names can seem uncreative. In the future, .ly domains may feel as passé as .net and .biz.
Though consumer acceptance of these nascent domains has yet to be established, the recent enthusiastic embrace of select ccTLDs is an indication that the more intuitive and practical gTLDs will be accepted as well.
Finding the right URL can be daunting, but with a little time and effort you can absolutely find a domain that works for your brand—and your wallet!

Did 'Fairly OddParents' Creator Butch Hartman Plagiarize Another Artist's Fanart for Money?
Jessica Norton
Jessica Norton Published: February 23, 2021
Butch Hartman has been accused of plagiarizing a Japanese artist from Twitter.
On Saturday (Feb. 23), Hartman, the creator of hit Nickelodeon cartoon series' The Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom, posted a commissioned drawing of Mikasa Ackerman, a character from Attack on Titan.
Fans accused Hartman of tracing a piece of Mikasa fanart from a Japanese artist known as @028ton on Twitter.
The original drawing by @028ton, drawn in 2018, quickly garnered over 90 thousand likes and 20 thousand retweets, as fans, followers and fellow artists rallied to raise awareness of Hartman's allegedly copied commissioned work. Commissioned artwork from Hartman can be purchased on his website for upwards of $200.
"I have received a report that my fan art has been plagiarized. I checked the tweets and found many similarities to my work. In addition, there was a possibility that money was being made, so I am urgently alerting you to this," @028ton wrote on Twitter. "They do not have permission to use the illustrations. If you see any products using the same artwork in the future, please do not purchase them."
Hartman has not yet responded to the allegations.
This is hardly Hartman's first controversy. The animator and showrunner has spent the past three years dealing with controversies related to his Kickstarter campaign for OAXIS Entertainment, which he described as a "family-friendly" alternative to streaming services.
Hartman was accused of misleading supporters of OAXIS by not including on the Kickstarter that the company would have a religious-affiliation. A video surfaced of Hartman speaking at a Christian conference where he stated, "We're going to save families and speak to them in parables. My stuff has got to be hip to reach the secular people," when describing OAXIS.
The animator also came under fire for comments he made minimizing mental health, blaming modern media for mental illness and suicide.
Hartman left Nickelodeon in 2018 and has since moved onto YouTube to become an independent creator.

From Japan: Yoel Zev Granted Passport and Visa, Prosecution Expected Not to Appeal
Matzav.com Exclusive: Almost a week after Chiba District Court acquitted Yoel Goldstein, Yoel Zev ben Mirel Risa Chava, on charges of drug-smuggling in the infamous saga that began in April 2008, Yoel has been granted a passport and visa from the Israeli consulate in Japan, Matzav.com has learned.
It is hoped that he will return to his home in Eretz Yisroel in the coming days.
As first reported by Matzav.com, last Monday, the Japan court ruled that Yoel was not guilty after he was accused of smuggling drugs into the country. He was acquitted of all 11 charges presented by prosecution. Yoel was facing a possible 15-year prison sentence in addition to a penalty of $65,000.
Following the verdict, Reb Aron Nezri of London and Reb Meilich Bindiner of Antwerp, the tireless askanim who have worked behind the scenes on behalf of the boys in Japan, learned that Yoel was immediately transferred to the Tokyo Immigration Detention Center.
In line with standing practice, immigration officials took Yoel Zev into their custody on account of overstaying his 90-day visa in 2008. An explanation to the immigration office stating the cause of Yoel Zev's delayed exit from Japan was prepared by the legal team and handed to Yoel Zev last Monday morning, before the verdict, in light of this eventuality.
Immediately, Yoel's lawyers worked vigorously to obtain a passport and visa so that he could leave the country without delay. The dilemma, Matzav.com has learned, is how to fly him out of the country, as there is no direct flight from Japan to Israel. Flying via Europe has been deemed problematic by the attorneys, because, since Yoel had carried the contraband through Holland on the way to Japan, there is fear that European countries will demand that Yoel be extradited to that country.
Thus, the only safe way for Yoel to fly would be via a stopover in Korea or through the United States.
In other news, those following the case have breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the prosecutor expressed in private conversation that he was not going to appeal the court's decision. The prosecution's office officially has 14 days from last Monday to appeal the verdict at the Tokyo High Court.
All are asked to continue davening for Yoel Zev ben Mirel Risa Chava, as well as Yaakov Yosef ben Reizel, the younger of the two adult bochurim, who received a six-year prison sentence and is pending transfer to Israel as well.

Description: In his letters, the apostle Paul, made statements like "if God be for us, who can be against us?" and "we are more than conquerors." Where does the audacity and boldness to declare this come from? Does this mean that, like Paul and those early Christians, we have some sort of power that can lift us up above the often chaos and hopelessness in the world around us? Is this merely a power that we find from within ourselves? How can we tap into this power and the victory that comes with it to live the confident lives that we all long for?

R71 (RMC 71, HD 269006) is a star in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in the constellation Mensa. It is classified as a luminous blue variable and is one of the most luminous stars in the LMC.  It lies three arc-minutes southwest of the naked-eye star β Mensae.

History of observations
R71 has long been known as a blue supergiant and one of the brightest stars in the Magellanic Clouds. It was given a spectral type of B2.5 Iep.

By 1974, R71 had increased in brightness from about 11th magnitude to about magnitude 9.2, and examination of historical photographic plates showed that there had been similar changes in the past, with the brightness peaking around 1914 and 1939. The increases in visual magnitude were accompanied by reddening, apparent cooling of the star. Such outbursts of 1–1.5 magnitudes from blue supergiants accompanied by cooling of several thousand kelvin, such that the bolometric luminosity remained approximately constant, were considered characteristic of a class of variables then known as S Doradus variables, now called luminous blue variables.

The outburst of R71 lasted from about 1971 until 1977, and it then faded back to about 11th magnitude.  Records are incomplete, but a new outburst was observed to begin in 2006 with the brightness increasing beyond any previous observations to magnitude 8.7. The temperature also cooled to record levels around 6,650 K and the luminosity was calculated to have increased significantly.  During the rise of this outburst, periodic brightness variations with an amplitude of about 0.1 magnitudes began to be seen.

Spectrum

The spectrum of R71 in quiescence (minimum brightness) shows weak emission lines of Hα and Hβ and absorption lines for the rest of the Balmer series. There are many strong forbidden emission lines, especially of ionised iron.  The spectrum is readily classified as a B class supergiant, the peculiarities such as emission and forbidden lines not unusual for the most luminous stars.

During the 1970s outburst, many spectral lines developed strong P Cygni profiles, while the forbidden emission lines weakened and eventually disappeared. Many other metal absorption lines appeared and the spectrum was clearly of a cooler A-class star.

In 2012, at the peak of the unusually bright outburst, the Hα lines developed into double-peaked emission lines and eventually to inverted P Cygni profiles. Hβ shows much weaker emission wings to the inverted P Cygni profiles, and other hydrogen lines show no emission. Helium spectral lines disappeared completely, suggesting much cooler temperatures. Absorption lines of metals dominate the visual spectrum, again indicating cool temperatures. A particularly unusual feature is the near-infrared forbidden emission lines of ionised calcium usually only seen in warm hypergiants, but also known from η Carinae during its great eruption.  The spectral class is estimated to be as late as F9 to G1 during this outburst.

Variability

R71 show brightness variations in many ways typical of the luminous blue variable group of variable stars: long periods near a minimum brightness known as quiescence; micro-variations of less than 0.1 magnitude during the quiescent periods; and outbursts of a magnitude or more lasting several years at intervals of a few decades. At quiescence the star is around magnitude 11, with the lowest brightness recorded at about magnitude 11.2. The 1914, 1939, and 1970s outbursts reached approximately magnitudes 10.2, 9.9, and 9.8 respectively.

The outbursts of R71 have apparently been getting progressively brighter, albeit from only a handful observed, with the 2012 outburst being unusually bright for this class of variables, reaching a peak of magnitude 8.7. It is also unusual in that periodic variations of about 0.2 magnitudes developed during the rise to maximum brightness. The period of these variations increased as the brightness increased until it was around 425 days.

Properties

R71 is one of the most luminous stars known, and the most luminous in the Magellanic Clouds during the 2012 outburst. During quiescence, it appears as like other very luminous early B supergiants, about 15,000 K and . The radius of this type of stars is not well-defined as it has a dense stellar wind and is losing mass at about  every three million years. The standard definition of a stellar surface at optical depth of 2/3 gives a radius of , but a more realistic definition of the surface for this type of star is at optical depth of 20 which gives a radius of .

During an outburst, R71 cools and expands although the bolometric luminosity does not change greatly, which is typical behaviour for a luminous blue variable. Because of the cooler temperature, more of the electromagnetic radiation is emitted at visual wavelengths and the visual brightness increases. During the abnormal 2012 outburst, the star cooled beyond the typical luminous blue variable minimum temperature of about 8,500 K, reaching something like 6,650 K and the radius increased about five times to around . The luminosity apparently also increased to over , something which has been seen in other LBVs but is thought to be unusual. This is likely to be beyond than the empirical Humphreys–Davidson limit at which stars become unstable because of their high luminosity.

The brightness variations shown during the unusually cool outburst may be related to those shown by Cepheid variables and RV Tauri variables. The particularly low temperature brings R71 close to the instability strip where temperature-related opacity changes in the atmosphere cause regular pulsations.

Evolution
Luminous blue variables have traditionally been considered to be in a short-lived unstable transition state before a massive star becomes a Wolf–Rayet star. This has been challenged by the theory that LBVs are the result of binary mass transfer with the mass gaining star becoming a massive and unstable luminous blue variable. R71 appears to be a very massive star that did not form within a mass star cluster, making it likely that it did not initially form as a very massive star. Instead it may have become massive later by gaining mass from a companion.

For either formation method, the next stage of evolution for R71 is likely to be a hydrogen-free Wolf-Rayet star. Eventually it is inevitable that its core will collapse, which may result in a supernova.  However, a proportion of stars similar to R71 appear to undergo progressively more violent outbursts until they are destroyed. Also, some or all Wolf–Rayet stars may collapse directly to a black hole without producing a bright supernova explosion.

Q: Arrays and functions in c language There i something i dont get, if have the following:
double average (double scores[]){

 double sum = 0;
 int n;
 int nscores = sizeof(scores)/sizeof(double);
 for (n=0 ;n<nscores ;++n){
 sum+=scores [n];
 return sum/nscores;
}

and i send this function an array like this:
  double scores[3]={1,2,3};

why will sizeof(scores)  will be 0?

A: sizeof(scores), inside the function, is equivalent to sizeof(double *): the compiler has no way to tell, at that point, how big the array was.
It won't be zero, but because sizeof(scores) and sizeof(double) are both integer-type expressions, sizeof(scores)/sizeof(double) is integer division, so if sizeof(scores) < sizeof(double), then sizeof(scores)/sizeof(double) == 0.

A: This is because array as a parameter of the function is treated as pointer. For example,
double average (double scores[]);

... is an equivalent to:
double average (double *scores);

and so sizeof(scores)/sizeof(double) is equal to sizeof(double *)/sizeof(double), and if you happen to have those types to be of the same size, the result is 1, but if size of double is 8 and pointer is just 4, then result is 0.

A: Two things to remember about arrays in C:

*

*Except when it is the operand of a sizeof or unary & operator, or is a string literal being used to initialize another array in a declaration, an expression of type "N-element array of T" will be replaced with ("decay to") an expression of type "pointer to T" whose value is the address of the first element of the array.

*In the context of a function parameter declaration, T a[] and T a[N] are identical to T *a; IOW, a is declared as a pointer to T, not as an array.  Note that this is only true for function parameter declarations.
When you call average(scores) from your main function, the expression scores will be replaced with another expression of type double *, so what average receives is a pointer value, not an array.  Thus, the sizeof trick to get the number of elements won't work within the average function.  You will have to pass the number of elements in scores as a separate parameter, like so:
double average(double *scores, size_t count)
{
   ...
}

and call it as
average(scores, sizeof scores / sizeof *scores); // or pass a constant 3, or
                                                 // something similar.

A: scores is a double *const, hence sizeof(scores) will be size required to store a pointer
