Q: securing a Google Apps Script linked to an authorized trigger so others can edit I am pretty sure my understanding is correct but since I cannot find any Google documentation that explicitly highlights this I wanted to ask here.
Per https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/triggers/installable:

Installable triggers always run under the account of the person who created them.

And we know that when you create a trigger it will ask to authorize for all the scopes the script uses.
Then, that means that anyone with edit access to the script could leverage the Google identity of the user used to create the trigger to access the scopes the trigger is authorized for.
For example:

*

*User 1 creates a Google Apps Script that uses GmailApp to send an e-mail
(i.e. GmailApp.sendEmail("one@example.com", "test subject", "email body");)

*User 1 creates a trigger to run said script every hour and authorizes it with the appropriate GmailApp scopes

*User 1 gives User 2 edit access to said script

Now, User 2 can go into said script and make changes to the code and access User 1's Gmail account. For example, user 2 could change the code to:
var emails = GmailApp.search("search string to find sensitive emails")
// use GmailApp.sendEmail to forward those details to someone else like User 2

All they would have to do is make changes to the code and save; they wouldn't need to re-create the trigger since it already exists. And the next time the trigger runs it would run the newer/updated code.
I was able to confirm this behavior by creating a test script on one of my accounts and giving another account edit access.
So my question is, what is the official/recommended way to mitigate this risk? The obvious answer is to not give anyone else edit access but what if that is not an option -- what if for support purposes multiple people need to be able to access the script, then what?

A: As you say, the only official/recommend way is to limit editing access to trusted persons.
In your particular example, User 1 could have chosen MailApp instead of GmailApp.  The two seemingly redundant services are available separately because MailApp has very limited privledges exposed compared to GmailApp.  (For instance, User 2 cannot search the victims Gmail with the MailApp service.)
You can collaborate while avoiding giving direct access to your script file using clasp and git.   Only you push with clasp to the script.  Everyone else submits changes through git.  You can setup the system to be fully automatic (i.e. a git push triggers a clasp push) or manual (i.e. you review all changes first), bit either way you have good records of who did what, when with git.

A: There's inherent trust when you provide edit access to the script project. You either trust the person or don't trust them. There's no inbetween.
Some "theoretical" ways you may still protect the data:

*

*Create and use different Google accounts.

*Install Triggers at the specific deployment/not at Head:

*

*Possible only if done manually. Installable triggers created programmatically can only be used at Head

*When you deploy a web-app/api, You can deploy it a specific version.

*This deployment version can then be provided, When you create a new trigger for a project here.

*There is no need for a working web-app/api. We're only looking to get a deployment id.

*In this way, even if user changes the script, your trigger will only run at the old version deployed.

*Deployed versions can be seen at Publish> Deploy from manifest.

*As the previous answer states, git would be a better call.
For all practical purposes, any data you share with a malicious entity should be  considered compromised.

Gannons worked with an entrepreneur and a technology company to establish a joint venture between the two parties.
An established entrepreneur hired us to broker an agreement with a notable technology company. Our client ran a Fintech investment company that operated an online investment platform. The technology company wished to develop a payment application using our client's assets and knowledge. Hence the two parties entered into discussions over embarking upon a joint venture.
While both parties were keen to work together under a joint venture structure, the entrepreneur had two major problems with doing so which needed addressing. Firstly, our client was unwilling to sell his existing business to the technology company at the current valuation. Secondly, he did not wish to give up his current role and work full time for the technology company.
The joint venture structure had to be formulated in a way which permitted the entrepreneur to remain independent. Independence was to be preserved until the price was right for the technology company to acquire the assets of the entrepreneur's business.
We came up with several ideas to implement in the joint venture agreement. These would meet our client's parameters to ensure his interests were protected, and the risks to him were minimised.
The entrepreneur works under a consultancy agreement. The entrepreneur would refer his industry contacts to the technology company and seek to establish channel partners. In return, the entrepreneur received commission linked to the "closed work" that the technology company received from his services.
To keep the entrepreneur engaged, the technology company proposed a share option. The option gave the entrepreneur the opportunity to participate in the technology company as a shareholder.
The entrepreneur would acquire 5% of the technology company's share capital at the end of year one. For every year that the consultancy agreement continued thereafter, our client could acquire a further 1.5%, up to a maximum 11% stake.
We also prepared the appropriate tax advice that gave our client the full picture.
We also suggested a shareholder agreement. That gave the entrepreneur certain rights to stop the directors of the technology company taking major steps without his approval.
The entrepreneur licences his database software to the technology company in return for a fixed royalty fee. The technology company would be given the option to buy the software if it reached a specified value. The software uses algorithms to compile lists of potential customers and clients for the business.
It was important for our client to protect his industry contacts whilst the joint venture was operative. Therefore we inserted bespoke intellectual property provisions to the consultancy agreement.
The idea was that the punitive consequences if the technology company stepped outside of the restrictions provided the best chance of compliance.
The technology company warranted and represented that at no time would it consider the contacts or clients to be its own. Furthermore on termination of the agreement, the technology company would cease to contact the clients.
The consultancy agreement also included a provision that the technology company would, if requested by the entrepreneur, provide a signed statement confirming its compliance with the intellectual property provisions. They could make this request at any time during the term of the agreement.
We devised a put and call option arrangement over the entrepreneur's shares.
Entitled the technology company to "call" on the entrepreneur to sell his shares in the technology company back to the technology company, at a price equal to fair value. The company could only exercise this option after three years had passed.
Our client wanted the option to exit in case he had to spend time at his own business. To compliment the "call" option, we also drafted a put option.
This let the entrepreneur "put" his shares in the technology company back onto the technology company, at a price equal to fair value.
Finally, for our client's benefit, we suggested changes to the technology company's articles. One of those changes was to ensure that any shareholder holding equal to, or in excess of 8.00% of the technology company's share capital had the right to appoint a director.
The entrepreneur could then appoint himself as a director after year three, satisfying the criteria for entrepreneurs' relief.
With the help of Gannons we were able to broker a great deal that worked for everyone.

Know Me, Know My Work

Remember those old American Express card commercials? A recognizable face would appear in the ads, and at some point, up would pop the question, "Do you know me?" Followed by the celebrity's name on a facsimile of the credit card, and the date when he or she became a "member" of the American Express "club," for which people pay to belong.
The celebrity quotient was meant to imply that successful people used the card, so successful you didn't even have to know them by name, only by sight, and that somehow this quality would be conveyed upon non-famous users: a sort of sleight-of-hand of branding: You may not be famous, and no one might know your name, but you can act as if you're special by paying for our charge card.
That kind of celebrity branding has changed. Today it's less about the celebrity quotient, and more about the relatability factor. In ads for one type of American Express card, the writer and actress Tina Fey -- very relatable, likable, approachable and real, despite her enormous success that's leagues beyond what other people are likely to achieve -- conveys that human touch that people look for.
I'm not famous, although I'm known in my field. What's different about my being known, however, is that when people know my name -- or even see me out and about at industry gatherings or certain kinds of events I frequent -- they know not only who I am, but what I represent, the kind of work I do.
That's a different kind of branding. That's less "relatable," than actual: I am a book marketer, with a book marketing and audience-engagement company. I have a great team of people with whom I work, but I'm the one out there as the face of the company I began, and as such I am the brand rep, the face of Promote a Book and Smarter Voice, and the kind of person who doesn't have to ask, "Do you know me?" (Though from time to time, when I've had lapses of judgment, I've asked that question - though not recently.)
The thing is: I'm a trusted representative for the work I do. That's what branding is about: people know that my work speaks for itself, even if when they see me, they think of my work. It's a powerful shortcut for an audience.

A Kárpátok őre fából faragott szobor, ami Szilvásvárad közelében a Szalajka-völgyben található.

Az eredeti Kárpátok őre szobrot, Szeszák Ferenc alkotását 1915. május 23-án állították fel Kolozsvár főterén. Az első világháború után az Erdélybe bevonuló román csapatok katonái azonban 1918. december 24-én felrobbantották.

Horváth Béres János kaposszerdahelyi szobrász és Tóth Vásárhelyi József építész alkotását 2002. november 17-én Harrach Péter, az Országgyűlés akkori alelnöke avatta fel. Tőkés László, Királyhágómelléki református egyházkerület püspök és Szabó József bélapátfalvai apát szentelte fel.

A magyar kisebbség 1989 után újra fel akarta állítani ezt az emlékművet az eredeti helyén, de politikai okokból ez nem volt lehetséges. 2013-ban Kocsis László, Gergely István "Tiszti" és Tapodi László kezdeményezésére, Ferencz Csaba csomortáni polgármester adott helyet, a falu iskolájának udvarán Csíkcsomortánban.

A csíkcsomortáni szobrot szintén Horváth-Béres János készítette, míg az őrbódét két helyi mesterember Székely Csaba és Török Csaba faragta ki.

A Kárpátok őre szobrok 2,65 méter magasak, 1,1 méter átmérőjűek, kb. 2 tonna súlyúak. Az első világháborús katonaalakot ábrázoló faszobor egyetlen (230 éves) tölgyfatönkből faragták.

Hasonló Kárpátok őre szobor áll Budakalászon, a Budakalász-Lenfonó HÉV megálló melletti parkban is.

The use of CCTV and the Principle of Transparency
Posted in : Business Legal on Data Security on 25 July 2019
David Fagan
Business Legal
In this Data Protection Update David Fagan of Business Legal considers the use of CCTV and the principle of Transparency and looks at data protection matters across Europe.
The French Data Protection Authority CNIL has fined a company €20,000 for constant video footage of employees.
A reminder of the rules of transparency:
Those affected (employees and visitors) must be informed, using a sign visible in the premises under video surveillance.
Do you have a clearly defined purpose for installing CCTV?
What are you trying to observe taking place?
Is the CCTV system to be used for security purposes only?
If not, can you justify the other purposes?
Will the use of the personal data collected by the CCTV be limited to that original purpose?
Lawfulness:
What is the legal basis for your use of CCTV?
Is the legal basis you are relying on the most appropriate one?
Necessity:
Can you demonstrate that CCTV is necessary to achieve your goal?
Have you considered other solutions that do not collect individuals' personal data by recording individuals' movements and actions on a continuous basis?
Proportionality:
If your CCTV system is to be used for purposes other than security, are you able to demonstrate that those other uses are proportionate? For example, staff monitoring in the workplace is highly intrusive and would need to be justified by reference to special circumstances.
Monitoring for health and safety reasons would require evidence that the installation of a CCTV system was proportionate in light of health and safety issues that had arisen prior to the installation of the CCTV system.
Will your CCTV recording be measured and reasonable in its impact on the people you record?
Will you be recording customers, staff members, the public?
Can you still justify your use of CCTV when the effect it will have on other people is considered?
Are you able to demonstrate that the serious step involved in installing a CCTV system that collects personal data on a continuous basis is justified?
You may need to carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment to adequately make these assessments.
What measures will you put in place to ensure that CCTV recordings are safe and secure, both technically and organisationally?
Who will have access to CCTV recordings in your organisation and how will this be managed and recorded?
How long will you retain recordings for, taking into account that they should be kept for no longer than is necessary for your original purpose, and DPC Guidance is to retain for no more than 28 days?
How will you inform people that you are recording their images and provide them with the other information required under transparency obligations?
Have you considered how they can contact you for more information, or to request a copy of a recording?
Here is the CCTV Guidance from the Irish DPC:
https://www.dataprotection.ie/sites/default/files/uploads/2019-05/CCTV%20guidance%20data%20controller.pdf
Rights Request over CCTV ruling in Denmark:
Danish DPA rules Art 15 not contravened by a refusal to meet a Data Subject Access Request ("DSAR") for CCTV as it may give insight into television surveillance recordings revealing the location of cameras and any blind spots, and therefore there was a real risk of compromising the safety of the metro rail system.
Metro emphasized in the assessment that complainants had not provided a specific reason for their interest in gaining insight, for example by (parts of) the recordings showing a relationship of particular importance, for example. a fall accident, assault, theft or the like. This is a first, as normally the reason for a DSAR is considered irrelevant by Data Protection Authorities.
Metro Services argued that CCTV can reveal the location of cameras and any blind spots, and therefore there was a real risk of compromising the safety of the metro. Metro Service had, after a "concrete assessment", found that the interest of the data subject in this case had to be weighed against public interest reasons, including public security and / or prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offenses or the enforcement of criminal sanctions , including protection against public security.
Metro Service argued that the data subject had not provided a specific reason for wanting the CCTV footage, for example in order to see evidence of a fall, accident, assault, theft etc. such that the rights of the data subject must give way to the overriding consideration of the public safety of the passengers using the metro.

Old Databases: The importance of having a plan – and sticking to it
The Danish Data Protection Authority recently proposed a fine of DKK1.5m (€200k) for furniture company, IDDesign A/S for failure to delete the personal data of about 385k customers The DPA investigated whether IDDesign had set deadlines for the deletion of customers' data and whether the deadlines were complied with.
Some furniture stores used an older system that gathered the names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and purchase history of some 385k customers. The personal data in the old system had never been deleted once it was replaced with a new system.
IDDesign did not indicate if the personal data in the old system were still necessary for processing purposes.

La Liga fined for foul play over its App
The Spanish Data Protection Authority has imposed a fine of €250,000 on La Liga de Fútbol Profesional for violations of the principle of transparency under the GDPR in respect of its mobile app.
The article states that the app, advertised as allowing supporters follow results of games, is actually being used to detect the establishments that screen football matches without paying licence fees.
When installing the application and giving its approval, La Liga can remotely activate the microphone of any user's mobile so that an automatic system detects by the ambient sound if it is in a bar that emits a 'pirate' signal.
The way in which La Liga warned its users of this procedure was been considered ambigous by the DPA and because this "spy function" of the app involves a recording of the environment where the user is and is seen as collecting personal data, the DPA said that La Liga must notify the user not only when installing the app, but every time which activates this data collection.

Technical News: Interesting ruling on what constitutes GDPR data
An recent decision from the Cologne Regional Court about whether the right of access under the GDPR also includes e-mails or internal notes containing personal data relating to the data subject.
Data subjects have a comprehensive right of access to their personal data processed as well as further information under to Art. 15(1)(a – h). Personal data includes name, date of birth, health data, account number, medical records, expert opinions or other comparable communications from other sources.
However, according to the Court, the right of access does not include all internal processes, such as notes, or to the fact that the person concerned can receive all exchanged correspondence, which is already known to the person concerned, reprinted and sent. Legal evaluations or analyses are also not considered personal data.
The right under Art. 15 is not about accounting to the data subject, but rather is intended to ensure that the data subject can assess the scope and content of the stored personal data. Copies of personal data does not mean a copy of the documents containing personal data, but a copy of the personal data itself.
Technical News: Update on Schrems II case on transfers of data side of the EU
The long-awaited Schrems II case on the validity of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) also called Model Clauses, opened last Tuesday in the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
Essentially the attitude of the participants could be described as follows: –
1. The United States Government and Facebook took the view that "there is nothing to see here". Both feel that the SCCs and the unrelated transfer mechanism Privacy Shield work perfectly fine, and that the transfers of personal data to the United States were not problematic under EU laws.
2. The complainant, Mr Schrems, and the various EU Governments (including Ireland which made a submission) feel that the SCCs are a valuable transfer mechanism, but that specific transfers do breach EU law, and that the appropriate remedy is to be found under EU law, including the ordering of the suspension of such transfers by the relevant Supervisory Authority (in Ireland the Data Protection Commission). Of course, suspension of the transfer of data outside the EU is very much a nuclear option, as for some businesses, it would effectively close them down overnight. Separately to the SCCs, Mr Schrems believes that Privacy Shield is invalid.
3. The Data Protection Commission (DPC) in Ireland, holds to the view that the SCCs are themselves non-compliant with EU law. As such the DPC has taken a more radical position than the evangelist data privacy campaigner Max Schrems. If the DPC is successful, then the European Commission may have to reformulate the SCCs into a format that is compliant with whatever ruling may be made in this case.
One positive side-effect of this might be that the SCCs might be brought into line with Article 28 of the GDPR so that there would no longer be a need for a separate Controller – Processor Agreement (as used to be the case prior to the GDPR, when the SCCs met the requirements for what used to have to be contained in a Controller – Processor Agreement).
A decision of the Advocate – General (AG) is expected on 12 December 2019. The full Court of the CJEU does not have to follow the reasoning or decision of the AG, but in practice it generally does. The decision of the full Court is expected in early 2020.
Scary News: notification of massive fines proposed by the ICO in the UK
The Supervisory Authority of the UK, the ICO, has notified two companies of massive administrative fines to be levied against them. The two companies involved have an opportunity to appeal these fines within 28 days, prior to the fines taking effect. Both are now doing so.
Firstly, in the largest fine yet proposed under GDPR, the ICO has given a notice of intention to impose an Administrative Fine of over €200 million on British Airways.
Although this figure is well in excess of the generally quoted maximum penalty of €20 million, it is an example of the ability of Supervisory Authorities to fine up to 4% of Global Annual Turnover. In this instance, fine represents about 1.5% of the global annual turnover of British Airways. It also gives a benchmark as to the level of fine that a Supervisory Authority may be considering in relation to serious breaches of data security. Thus, for a relatively small business, with a turnover of perhaps €20 million, this would represent a fine of €300,000.
Secondly, the Marriot International group of hotels was given a notice of intention to impose an Administrative Fine of over €110 million. The turnover of Marriot International (according to the 2018 Annual Report) was €20 billion. In this instance though, the breach occurred prior to Marriot International taking over the hotel chain in which the breach occurred (Starwood Hotels Group). The ICO felt that if Marriot International had done proper due diligence on taking over Starwood in 2016, then it would have discovered the breach in 2016, and not in 2018 when it finally discovered the issue.
It is possible that the fine in this instance was less than in the British Airways case, because the Starwood group would have had a much smaller turnover. Alternatively, it is possible that the ICO felt the breach was not as egregious as in the British Airways case. It does illustrate however, that it is not only high-tech companies, be they social media giants or airlines, that can be subject to massive Administrative fines. This Administrative Fine represents .5% of the turnover of the entire Marriot International group, and if it had been levied against a smaller company with turnover of €20 million per annum, would have represented a fine of €110,000.

Holabird Western Americana Collections still looking for consignments for the FOHBC 2016 Sacramento National Antique Bottle Convention & Expo 49er Bottle Jamboree Auction. The fabulous rare Gold Dust Whiskey (pictured) Of the five different embossed Gold Dust whiskies, this is the John Van Bergen variety, the oldest and first of the five. John Thomas, in his master work Whiskey Bottles of the Old West, discusses the bottle at length (Catalog number 154). Dated as 1871-1874, it is one of the oldest of the Western embossed whiskey bottles. With full face embossing, plus the pictorial nature of the bottle with a horse, and the great name of "Gold Dust Whiskey", which renders it an inescapable part of the California Gold Rush, this bottle is absolutely one of the most desirable western bottles.

The Largest Church in India
A SMALL BEGINNING
Bro. Satish Kumar started his walk with God at the tender age of 12. He began to learn to recognize Gods voice and know Gods will for his life and ministry. This has been the secret of his success and has laid a strong foundation for his ministry over the years.
In 1995 Bro.Satish Kumar heard God's voice in his heart saying 'I WILL GIVE YOU A VERY BIG CHURCH" This was even hard to imagine let alone think. He immediately shared this with his coworkers and started praying for God's vision, plan and purpose to be fulfilled in his life.
Bro.Satish Kumar never wanted to be a famous preacher and never prayed to be one. He "NEVER WANTED TO BE A PASTOR, BUT ALL HE WANTED WAS TO BE WAS A MISSIONARY,PREACHING THE GOOD NEWS TO THE UNREACHED PEOPLE". But in Gods sovereign will, He called brother Satish Kumar to pastor the largest church in INDIA.
It all began in 2005…..when God spoke to him to start Calvary Temple Church. Though Bro.Satish kumar was not interested in starting a church or being a pastor, yet he obeyed Gods command and started CALVARY TEMPLE with 25 people on June 5th 2005 in Kukatpally, Hyderabad India.
SMALL BEGINNINGS CAN NEVER BE SMALL WHEN GOD IS IN IT.
God has equipped Bro. Satish kumar to preach the word of God with Power and Authority. He adopted his preaching style from Lord Jesus Christ, that is .. preaching the word with illustrations and parables. This greatly helped people to understand the word and apply it to their daily lives. His spirit filled sermons have attracted hundreds and thousands of people to Calvary temple. By the year ending 2006 the church had nearly 1000 members.
God was with Calvary temple and was helping build the temple with living souls and as a result of this by the end of 2007 the church reached 3,000 members, and in 2008 – 8,000 members, 2009- 18,000 members, 2010- 30,000 members, 2011- 40,000 members, 2012- 50,000 members, 2013 nearly 80,000 members, June 2014 nearly 90,000 members, June 2015 More than 100,000 members, June 2016 reached over 160,000 members by the end of 2017 reached over 195,000 members, and now 225,000 worship God in this temple. Every month nearly 3000 people are added to the church and every year 25 to 30 thousands new members are added.
By God grace and by the diligence of Bro.Satish Kumar and his administration, Calvary Temple was able to secure its own land. Calvary temple moved from a rented premises to 12 acres of its own land. As soon the land was bought, worship services were started under tents for a few months.
Mean while Bro. Satish Kumar wanted to fast and pray for forty days. 40 days prayers started on 11th June and continued for more than 6 months.
After praying for 40 days everyone wanted the prayers to extend to 40 more days and so 80 days prayers began. After 80 days this got extended by another 40 days. For 120 days, thousands of people gathered daily to pray. Many a times the weather was bad and it rained continually, however people came to pray and listen to Gods word. Bro. Satish kumar was led by the Lord to meditate on the book of Nehemiah during these 4 months of prayer. Everyone enjoyed soaked up the word of God and as Nehemiah prayed for 3 to 4 months before God asked him to build the wall of Jerusalem, even so Calvary temple also prayed for 120 days.
On October 9th at 6.30am God spoke to bro.satish kumar to lay the foundation stone for the church building. By this time the church had payed a lot of money for the land and to immediately construct a church would be a challenging step. But Bro. Satish kumar heard from God and wanted to lay the foundation stone and asked God to enable him to build the church in 52 days as He did for Nehemiah. Nehemiah built the walls of Jerusalem in 52 days.
During the church service Brother Satish kumar declared saying "We are going to build the church in 52days with the help of Gods mighty hand and we are going to lay the foundation stone on 11 November. We will finish construction by 31 December and enter into the new sanctuary on 1st Jan 2013". This was an astonishing news and came as a surprise to all the members! Can a church as big as a stadium with a seating capacity of nearly 18,000 be built in 52 days ???? Is this is possible???
By Gods grace and mercy on the 11th of November the foundation stone was laid by Brother Satish kumars beloved mother and his family amidst many of Gods servants and church believers.
Is it possible to build a church with a seating capacity of nearly 18,000 in 52 days ??? This is a million dollar question. Even many godly people thought that Bro.Satish Kumar made a wrong decision in announcing that the church will be built in 52days. This was impossible. If the Church will not be built in 52 days then whatever name he had earned during these years will be wiped out. But God was so good to Bro.Satish Kumar and his word. Though many problems and challenges were encountered during construction yet God kept HIS promise and helped build the church in 52 days. All the church members entered into the new sanctuary on 1st Jan 2013 at 6.00pm and celebrated God's victory and saw the work of His hand. Glory be to God !

All that parents can do is plant the seeds and hope it leads to a bountiful harvest.
Certain things are universally true when it comes to our children. They exasperate us. They enthrall us. They worry us. And with worry comes wonder. We wonder how to help our children achieve, or how to boost their self-confidence, and especially how to help them do better in school.
With so much to worry about in the here and now, ever wonder what makes for a child's happiness and success over the long haul? Twenty-four-year teacher, guidance counselor, and Ways to Well-Being author John Doran has. And he'll tell you that there are seeds you can plant right now to help enable this lofty goal.
1. Help them see they're already enough.
We all have some level of defective inner monologue. Doran points out that the most important words you can say or think are the ones you say to yourself and believe. Children have fewer tools to combat this natural tendency, and the issue is exacerbated when you consider they're faced daily with the often unrealistic pressure of grades, peers, standardized tests, expectations, and on and on and on.
Your enoughness is not something outside of you waiting to be discovered, it's inside of you waiting to be recovered. When you let it seep into your consciousness that you're already enough, and nothing outside of yourself will make you more than you already are, you're free to change your emotional state from one of fear and anxiety to one of effort and application. You're free to do the best you can in the time you've got. And then mistakes become learning experiences. So, what if you entertained the thought that what is wrong with you is nothing that can't be fixed by what is right with you?
What if your children, and you, believed you all were already enough?
2. Teach them to lower the threshold of what they're grateful for.
He believes that developing a habit of focusing on the good versus the bad is "the single biggest thing that can increase your happiness." I think he's right.
3. Encourage them to slow down.
Doran cites that 75 percent of teens spend 75 percent of their time looking down. What are they missing by not looking up? Anyone reading this article knows how electronically connected and emotionally disconnected we're becoming. It's hard to see a scenario where potential distractions dwindle. And from my own experience, I can tell you that "heads up, screens down" is even harder to role-model than something as profound as believing you're already enough.

The clinical chair of Swindon Commissioning Group has stepped down from his role in the wake of an excoriating report into Moredon Medical Centre, where he is a GP and partner.
Dr Peter Mack, has resigned 'with immediate effect' from the two day a week role working with the organisation responsible for planning and purchasing healthcare for Swindon and nearby Shrivenham - with an annual budget of around £300 million.
He will use the extra time to attempt to bring Moredon Medical Centre - which has been placed into special measures - up to standard within six months.
Dr Peter Mack said: "The decision to step down from my role of Clinical Chair has not been taken lightly, however I feel it is only right to concentrate my efforts on doing what is right for the patients at my practice, many of whom have been coming to Moredon for many years.
Swindon CCG will now begin the process of appointing a new Clinical Chair, with further details being released as and when decisions are made.
Following a routine inspection by health watchdog the Care Quality Commission, from 9-12 November, Moredon Medical Centre was found to be inadequate (the lowest possible rating) in three of of five inspection criteria - Safe, Responsive and Well-led. The two remaining inspection criteria - Effective and Caring were judged to be 'requiring improvement'.
Inspectors also gave the lowest rating for specific services for Older people; People with long term conditions; Families, children and young people; Working age people (including those recently retired and students); People whose circumstances may make them vulnerable; and People experiencing poor mental health (including people with dementia).
In their summary, inspectors highlighted concerns about a partnership the medical centre had entered into with Integral Medical Holdings - which provides services for Moredon medical practice as well as Eldene, Toothill, Abbey Meads and Taw Hill.
"Moredon Medical Centre entered into a partnership arrangement with Integral Medical Holdings (IMH) in June 2018. Since August 2018, Moredon Medical Centre patients have raised concerns about the services provided in relation to delayed appointment access, difficulties telephoning the practice and delayed repeat prescriptions. Patients have also made contact with the local members of parliament, the media and Healthwatch to share their experiences. The practice leadership and management team have responded to these challenges, however, patients and staff we spoke with on the day of inspection, reported that concerns remained.
As a result of concerning findings, the CQC issued a warning notice regarding the breach of the Health and Social Care Act 2008, Regulation 17, Good Governance.
People's needs were not being met by the way in which services were organised and delivered. Patients we spoke with reported significant difficulties with the appointment and telephone system and how they were not able to access care when they needed it.
Staff did not have the information they needed to deliver safe care and treatment to patients. There was a lack of effective governance and oversight to ensure quality and safety.
In summary, Chief Inspector of General Practice Professor Steve Field placed the service in special measures - with improvements to be carried out within six months. The full CQC report can be found by following this link.

Brandon Weeden probably doesn't want to hear about a burger that has been named after him at a restaurant in Ohio.
Brandon Weeden isn't popular in Cleveland right now.
Sure, he threw for 370 yards on Sunday. But the Browns lost and he threw three interceptions. Making things worse, they lost to the Jaguars, which is never a good thing.
We reached out to the restaurant on Tuesday and got some details from the owner, Nate Rockwell, who came up with the idea.
The first question: Will they actually sell this burger on Sunday?
"If they pay for it in advance I'll be happy to to do it," he said with a laugh. "But I'm not sure how they'll feel picking it up off the floor."
"Just general frustration over the level of play by Weeden," he said. "His level of inconsistency ever since getting here."
"Year after year we've been waiting for that special moment when the team is in first place for more than two games," he said.
Rockwell said his restaurant only offers burger specials on Sundays. The rest of the time they sell southern BBQ. He says most burgers cost between $8-$12, but he's willing to work with a customer on the price of this week's special.
"We can give a small discount, an employee discount, for someone who wants to play along with it," he said with a laugh.
Rockwell added that it's all in fun and that he just wants to see the Browns do well.

Saint-Saëns: Piano Trio No. 1 in F, Op. 18; Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, Op. 92
By BBC Music Magazine
COMPOSERS: Saint-Sa'ns

ALBUM TITLE: Saint-Sa'ns Piano Trios

PERFORMER: Trio Wanderer
CATALOGUE NO: HMC 901862
Perhaps Saint-Saëns's dapper appearance has had something to do with it – that and the infallibly 'well-made' surface of his music. Play it politely and all you tend to get back is polite applause. The Trio Wanderer feel this music otherwise and the result is entirely splendid.
Speed has a role to play. Trio Wanderer take every one of the nine movements faster than do the Joachim Trio on Naxos. Saint-Saëns, after all, was a virtuoso pianist with a corner in brilliance and sparkle, and Trio Wanderer's Vincent Coq throws off the cascades of scales and arpeggios with nonchalant élan, aided by a rather less resonant acoustic than that of the Conway Hall, which at times blurs the Joachim Trio's textures.
The Wanderers are also a touch bolder in their phrasing, adding intelligently to the composer's somewhat parsimonious markings, and I approve the violinist's generous use of portamento, very much of the place and period. If you add in the Joachim Trio's occasional lengthening of pauses before a new paragraph, which I find disruptive, and just one moment in the Finale of the First Trio where their otherwise admirable pianist, John Lenehan, rushes slightly, then the Wanderer Trio bring home the crown in these two wonderfully strong, witty and inventive pieces.

U.N. aid agencies are appealing to international donors to provide money to scale up lifesaving operations in drought-stricken Ethiopia and Somalia, where millions of hungry people are at risk of death and illness.
Five years after a devastating 2011 famine killed nearly 260,000 people in Somalia, famine again is stalking that country. The worst-affected areas are in northern Puntland and Somaliland, where dozens of drought-related deaths and many illnesses already are being reported.
"On Sunday, we received reports of 38 deaths due to drought-linked reasons in the Bakool region of south-central Somalia," said Leo Dobbs, spokesman for the U.N. refugee agency. "Medical cases include people with acute malnutrition — especially children — watery diarrhea and cholera. These problems are likely to grow without substantial aid."
The United Nations estimates that half of Somalia's population, 6.2 million people, is threatened by the drought. The U.N. Children's Fund said children were the most vulnerable.
Christiane Boulierac, a UNICEF spokesman, said the number of children suffering from severe acute malnutrition "is expected to rise to 270,000 in the next few months."
Flight to urban areas
The UNHCR said thousands of people were leaving their homes and heading for urban areas, including the Somali capital, Mogadishu, because of the drought, rising food prices and dry weather forecasts — all problems compounded by continuing warfare.
Dobbs told VOA the Somali government was taking this situation very seriously, and that this was a very personal matter for President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, who was Somalia's prime minister during the 2011 famine disaster.
The president wants to make sure that scenes that marked those days are not repeated — scenes of "people walking for days and days and arriving in dreadful physical shape, and where children were suffering from acute malnutrition. He wants to avoid that certainly in areas where there is complete control," the refugee agency spokesman said.
UNHCR has begun helping displaced people in the worst-affected areas, Dobbs said, but "swift and substantial action and adequate funding are becoming urgently needed to avoid famine and a repeat of 2011."
The U.N. agency urgently needs $825 million to carry out humanitarian operations until June, he said.
On a related issue, the United Nations released $18.5 million from its global emergency fund in response to a new catastrophic drought in Ethiopia.
Jens Laerke of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs told VOA this response was "triggered by the very rapidly deteriorating situation we have in Ethiopia, and in particular in the Somali region, where the pastoralists were extremely vulnerable to climatic changes and were in very dire condition."
Farmers move herds
Laerke said the emergency funds could help more than 785,000 people suffering from hunger, malnutrition and severe water shortages. Thousands of farmers who raise livestock in the Somali region already have been forced to relocate their herds in search of water and pasture.
The current drought hit Ethiopia before the country had a chance to recover from the effects of a devastating El Nino-induced drought in 2015-16. That disaster left more than 10 million people in urgent need of aid last year.
Bettina Luescher, spokeswoman for the World Food Program, said the Ethiopian government and partners helped save countless lives and averted a humanitarian catastrophe.
"So the good news is that the numbers of people that this year will need help with food assistance is down from last year," she said. "This year, 5.6 million people will need assistance."
WFP said it needed $268 million to provide food aid for the drought victims through July. The United Nations has put the cost of its humanitarian operation for this year at $948 million.

A true giant of Paediatric Neurology, his passing is indeed a great loss to the world of child neurology and to the countless friends and colleagues all over the world. The International Child Neurology Association express it's deepest condolence on the demise of this truly inspirational Child Neurologist.
Jean François Marie Aicardi studied at the Paris Medical School and became an Interne des Hôpitaux de Paris in 1951.

On returning to Paris, Aicardi joined the Department of Infantile Surgery at the Hôpital des Enfants Malades as a Paediatrician, where he remained until 1964 while continuing his interest in child neurology. He then worked as an assistant to Thieffry from 1964 to 1979 in the Department of Child Neurology at the Hôpital Saint Vincent de Paul. In 1968 he joined the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (INSERM). He returned with his team to the Hôpital des Enfants Malades in 1979 to create and run a new unit of child neurology.
In 1970 Aicardi was invited to Oxford, England, by Ronald MacKeith (1908-1977) in order to participate in the first meeting of the European Study Group in Child Neurology, an exclusive group of The Spastics Society, an organisation that has played an important role in the development of child neurology in Europe. This group became the European Federation of Child Neurology Societies in 1973 and has branches in most European countries. Following his retirement in 1991, Jean Aicardi was appointed honorary professor of child neurology at the Institute of Child Health and honorary consultant at the Hospital for Sick Children, London. In March 1999 he became the founding editor of the journal Epileptic Disorders.

The Myths Of Balloons - Are Bubblegum Balloons Biodegradable?
Are your balloons made from Bubblegum?
So we've decided to put the answers in one place because we equally want to leave a world our children can be proud of.
Nope. Never have been, never will be. Neither do we put Bubblegum inside the balloons, chew Bubblegum whilst blowing the balloons or are associated with any Bubblegum companies. It's simply a fun play on the Bubble Balloons we send out so regularly.
There are two core types of balloon – Latex and Foil.
Latex balloons are made from the sap of rubber trees, making them a completely natural substance. The company we purchase our latex balloons from is committed to responsible sourcing, resulting in our balloons being made from rubber trees located in plantations that are Rainforest Alliance Certified™. You may have heard people saying that latex balloons degrade at the same speed as oak leaves – which is true. The oxidization of a latex balloon begins the minute it's inflated and if responsibly disposed of (either in landfill or a compost heap) the balloon with biodegrade anywhere from 6 months to 4 years. Like any product, the time is dictated by many factors.
Foil balloons are made from nylon covered in aluminium, which takes much longer to degrade in the environment. Regardless of your balloon choice, Bubblegum Balloons refuses to be involved in any balloon releases. Despite it being possible for latex releases to be done in an environmentally friendly way, there is too much at risk and therefore not something we wish to be associated with.
The moral of the story is to always dispose of your balloons in a safe and secure way to provide them with the best chance of degrading at the quickest rate possible.
If you ever see us at an event, you can be sure to know that we do everything in our power to ensure that the balloons are disposed of securely. We hate seeing our balloons being misused or causing any damage through thoughtlessness. Have any further questions in regards to the sustainability of our balloons? Drop us an email.

Q: Any tool to go from java code to jHipster templates? Since the generated java code doesn't fit all my needs, I would need to modify the templates (mainly in server). Small modifications are pretty straightforward but I was wondering if there is some tool to go from existing java code to this template.

A: We did modules for this use case, and I even did some specific ones for some clients. So this would be my favorite solution.
Then, I clearly see in our stats that many people are forking JHipster and modifying it - this is probably easier at first sight, but of course you'll have trouble when we release new versions, as you will have to sync your code with each new release.

There has been one other thing that I've been collecting for. A Settlers Sack. It is not everyday that I share the fixings that go into the bag but this one is special. There have been wallets included in the past but this time there will be little extras that make the bag even better than how it will look.

New York Giants: Former DB coach Lou Anarumo hired as Bengals DC
Ryan Honey
(Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports)
Now-former New York Giants secondary coach Lou Anarumo has been hired as the new defensive coordinator for the Bengals.
It looks like a New York Giants defensive coach has found a new home, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.
The Bengals officially hired Giants defensive backs coach Lou Anarumo as their new defensive coordinator on Thursday. This finally completes the first complete coaching staff for the Bengals in the post-Marvin Lewis era. The Bengals fired Lewis after the 2018 season. He was previously the head coach in Cincy since 2003.
Anarumo previously served as the defensive backs coach for the Miami Dolphins from 2012-2017 before his lone season with Big Blue. Newly-hired Bengals head coach Zac Taylor worked on the Dolphins staff with Anarumo from 2012-2015. Taylor was previously the quarterbacks coach for the Super Bowl runner-up Los Angeles Rams.
"I've always had great respect for Lou, and I know he is a tremendous defensive coach," Taylor told the media. "He's a great fit for what we want to build here in Cincinnati. Lou is an excellent communicator who the players will have great respect for, and he will get the best out of them."

Anarumo will join the Bengals staff and help improve a defense that was extremely below-average in 2018. The Bengals were ranked 29th in the NFL in rushing defense. As a team, they allowed 4.7 yards per carry and an average of 137.8 rushing yards per game. Cincinnati also finished 30th in the NFL in scoring defense, allowing a total of 455 points.
This past year, the passing defense for the Giants was ranked 23rd in the NFL. Big Blue allowed an average of 252.8 passing yards per game in 2018.
The Giants just hired coach Henry Baker earlier in February to work as an assistant defensive backs coach. There's a chance they'll promote him to the head defensive backs coach, but they also could always look towards other options.
Here's to hoping Anarumo finds success with his new position in his new organization.

Title: CGPA would be burden
Post by: shibli on January 28, 2010, 02:08:44 PM
Many students are getting scholarships based on their semester results. But i think we should give the grades to the students what they deserve. Otherwise, CGPA would be burden on their part. What is the use of CGPA if a student cannot face an interview and answer questions properly?
Very often interviewers spread the word of the mouth that students of so so university with excellent CGPA don't know the basics of their subjects they studied.
So, we have to be strict on grading and give what a student actually deserves, i suppose.

Thanks Shibli bhai. I agree completly with you. Even flexible grading could be bumerang for us as well as students. We must maintain certain standards.

Non-govt Universities Act 2009: Some suggestions
Mr. Abul Quasem Haider
Government of Bangladesh has already given approval to the 56 private universities of Bangladesh under the Non-Government Universities Act-1992 and Revised Non-Government Universities Act-1998. At present 52 private universities are running their operations. More than 1 lac 90 thousand students are getting higher education in these universities. In the mean time, the government imposed ban on four universities a few years ago. These universities are also trying their best to reopen under the law.
The government took various measures since 2004 to make the present Act in force, as void. In 2008 the then Caretaker government has promulgated the Non-Government Universities Ordinance 2008. Afterwards the present nationally elected Government made the Ordinance of 2008 as void. But the present minister for education and the chairman of University Grants Commission are taking manifold initiatives to ratify a new Non-Government Universities Act. A rough Non-government Universities Act was given to different level of representatives to have a consensus. But on behalf of the Association of Private Universities of Bangladesh (APUB), I thoroughly protested on various contradictory issues of the Act. APUB has already submitted a written statement regarding the non-acceptability of this Act. But the government has shown its autocratic attitude and it has under evaluated this major issue of public interest. Within this process of under evaluation, the government has approved on principle the said Act in the Cabinet with many contradictory issues on the 19th October 2009.
I now want to focus on some contradictions in the sections of the proposed Act and make some suggestions on the same.
1. In the Definition Section (Section-2), the Private University Authority has been divided into two. According to the Acts of 1992 & 1998, Board of Trustees, Regency Council, Board of Governors were working together. But two different authorities have been created under this Act. One is the Syndicate and the other is the Board of Trustees, which will create administrative conflict.
2. In the Section 6 and the Section 7 respectively, awarding of two kinds of charters have been stated; one is the interim charter and the other one is permanent charter. No university can be allowed to run its operation through interim charter.
3. In the Section 8, it has been stated to allow 5% full free studentship. 5% is quite a large proportion. Government does not give private universities any kind of grants. All the expenditure is born privately. So the proportion can be shifted to 1%. Also this issue can be resolved by the universities themselves. It has also been stated that this proportion (5%) of full free studentship should be submitted to the University Grants Commission (UGC). This is just a simple process of intervening on the autonomy of the private universities.
4. It has also been stated in the Section-8 that the lands of the private universities cannot be made liable or be transferred to any person or organization. Thus private universities will not be allowed to take any loan by mortgaging lands and fixed assets. Thus the development works of the private universities will be threatened. Moreover, some universities are still doing some development works by mortgaging their fixed assets.
5. Under the Section 10 Private Universities have to form an authority called Board of Trustees. In the Section 14 of the Non-Government University Act 1992, an indication regarding the most effective committees has been inserted. In this case, there is no reason to establish any other authority.
6. In the Section 13, the level of officials in the Private Universities has been determined. Here a proposition has been made to appoint excessive officials in a number of 13. The appointment of officials should be the sole responsibility of the university itself. There is no reason to insert this issue in the Act. This type of compulsion will create an extra load on the university administration.
7. In the Section 20, it has been stated that private universities must have a syndicate of its own. But the vice chancellor has been proposed as the head of syndicate. In the Act of 1992 & 1998 the syndicate and the trustee were the same authority to act on the interest of the university. But in the recent proposed Act, it has been mentioned that the members of syndicate will be 9. Out of them only one will be the representative from the trustee. One member will be nominated by the government and the other will be nominated from the University Grants Commission. So we may have the presence of supervision from the government and the UGC. But in a 100% private organization, there is no right to these two to make any kind of representation. Moreover, the chairman of the syndicate should be selected through the consensus of the members of the syndicate. The government cannot decide autocratically that the vice chancellor will be the head of the syndicate. Above all, there must be at least 7 members from the trustees who will represent the syndicate.
8. In the Section 21, a proposition has been made to establish an academic council. This council should be controlled by the statutes. There is no need to incorporate these into the Act.
9. In the Section 26, it has been stated the vice chancellor should be the head of finance committee. Of course very rationally, the founder or the trustee should be the head of the finance committee, not any appointed vice chancellor. Without the liability of the founder or the trustee, no banks will ever finance the private universities.
10. In the Section 33, by a heading like Education Programme, etc. private universities have got the form of any M.P.O listed schools, colleges and madrashahs. By the approval of the curriculum committee and the academic council, any university can open new faculties and departments which are universally admitted.
11. In the section 35, a proposition has been made to cancel the charter of the private universities by the recommendation of the University Grants Commission (UGC) to the government. This proposition will make the private universities completely unsecured. But in the revised Act of 1998 and as stated in the Act of 1992, the cancellation of charter of any private university can be done by the Justice of the Supreme Court in case of any special irregularities. The arrangement of appeal in these situations is also impressive in the existing Acts. But by promulgating the proposed Act, the existence of the private universities will be under a threat.
12. In the section 37, a proposition has been made to form an accreditation council only for the private universities. But no proposition has yet been made to form any accreditation council for the public universities of the country. Standard of quality cannot be ascertained only in the private universities. So this section is very distinctive. Accreditation council must be very independent, neutral and free from the government control and above all belong to both public and private universities.
13. In the Section 38, a new opportunity has been made to approve the foreign universities. Though government has opposed to open foreign universities, about 60 institutions are still selling their certificates in the name of foreign universities. Now new avenues will be created to legalize these kinds of dishonest efforts. A unique law should be established for both local and foreign private universities. There is no need to establish any different law.
14. In the Section 41, a new clause has been inserted named as student fee. If any private university has to get an approval for the student fee structure from the UGC, then it would be better never to call it a private institution. Because when government can take autocratic decision on the management of the private university by the UGC, it would be better to call it government controlled institution.
15. In the Section 42, by a given heading Salary Structure and Service Regulations, it has been decided that every private university has to take approval from the UGC by preparing a suitable salary structure and service regulations of all its faculties, officers and staffs. That a privately run institution cannot make its own salary structure and service regulations is really very ridiculous.
16. We believe that the honourable prime minister has not yet got an opportunity to have concept on this proposed Act. Our opinion was just ignored in the cabinet. As a result the proposed act has been approved on principle in the cabinet. This is our earnest request to the honourable prime minister she should be kind enough to listen to our Association of Private Universities of Bangladesh's opinion before the enactment of the same.
17. UGC was established under the no.10 of the Presidential Order in 1973. As far as we are concerned it should just be involved in sanctioning the grants to the public universities according to the quality of their education and research. But intervening on the operation or autonomy of universities by rule of any law can not be their responsibility.
Observing all the facts of this proposed Act we find that the Act is just a malpractice to make the private sector higher education in the country unnecessarily fall under the category of institutions run on the principles and compulsions of the government. This Act is just opposite to the worldwide effort to the privatisation and decentralision of the higher education. In this case I would like to highlight a very significant speech of Mr. Kapil Sibal, central minister for human resource of India from the chronicle of higher education, USA, published in June 12, 2009, "There is not such a thing as University Grants Commission. All India Council of Technical Education and Medical Council of India in West and these Indian regulatory institutions 'What can I say, destroyed our entire efforts to take education forward, it is extremely important "to release" higher education institutions from the control of government to promote a competitive environment, we have to allow our universities to float their own degrees' in a competitive environment, only good universities will survive." We all know that the quality and expansion of higher education is much better in India than Bangladesh (In Bangladesh 7% and in India 12%). India is trying its best to move forward from their old nationalization concept and trying to flourish private sector higher education, while we just getting backward by consuming time in promulgating this kind of Act.

Hulewicz – polski herb szlachecki z nobilitacji galicyjskiej i siewierskiej.

Opis herbu
Istnieją przynajmniej dwa przekazy na temat kształtu tego herbu. Opisy zgodnie z klasycznymi regułami blazonowania:

Na tarczy dwudzielnej w pas, w polu górnym złotym – orzeł czarny z cyfrą JII (Józef II Habsburg) na piersi złotą; w dolnym czerwonym – trzy lilie złote 1,2. W klejnocie nad hełmem w koronie orzeł jak na tarczy. Labry prawe czarne podbite złotem, lewe czerwone podbite złotem.

Powyższa wersja herbu widniała na oryginalnych nadaniach. Juliusz Karol Ostrowski w swojej publikacji popełnił pomyłkę, dając orła dwugłowego, bez cyfry JII.

Najwcześniejsze wzmianki
Nadany wraz z nazwiskiem nobilitacją galicyjską Jakubowi Michałowi Hulewicz von Lilienfeld, radcy galicyjskiego Sądu Szlacheckiego 10 stycznia 1785. Ten sam Jakub Michał otrzymał analogiczny herb wraz ze szlachectwem siewierskim od biskupa Kajetana Ignacego Sołtyka w 1781.

Discussion in 'MacBook Pro' started by eicca, Dec 29, 2014.
Not only does my MacBook boot faster than my iPhone (about 10 seconds until ready to roll), but for the sake of showing off I can open a whole crapload of windows and apps, hit Restart and choose "Reopen windows when logging back in" and be right where I left off in 20 seconds.
File copying is soooooooo much faster, no more obnoxious "click" from the sudden motion sensor protection feature when I bump it, shuts down instantly, sleeps and wakes instantly, love it!
I haven't done the whole TRIM enabler thing but the Crucial drives come with garbage collection or whatever it's called and everything runs just dandy.
I made a post earlier about the same drive that I installed today. It rocks right along. 14.93 seconds to boot once I put in my password (I have FileVault 2). That is a heck of a lot better than 1 - 1.5 mins.
You don't need to worry about installing a trim app etc. Let it go like it is with the built in garbage collection. As long as you make sure to untick the allow hard drive to sleep box in energy preferences and don't fill the drive up, you should be good to go, according to Crucial.
I installed the same drive in my MBP back in July...The thing flies now.
Anywho, file copying is now an amazing experience - It used to take about 2 minutes to copy a 1GB file on a HDD, and with the SSD it takes maybe five seconds. And the Sudden Motion Sensor was perhaps the most annoying thing about a HDD.
SSD is the best bang for the buck upgrade in any computer. Storage for so long has been a huge bottleneck.
We put an SSD in my grandpa's old WinXP machine. With that new tech on an old OS, things load instantaneously. It's really fun.
UPDATE: My battery life appears to be a tad better with the SSD. Over six hours estimated remaining at 90%, up from about 5:30 estimated from a full charge.
You should really install Windows 7 or 8.1 as XP is no longer receiving security updates. I upgraded my dad's old XP laptop to Windows 8.1 and SSD; they gave the machine a new lease on life. To avoid the dreaded start screen, I installed a program called StartIsBack, which boots directly to the desktop and revives the Windows 7-style start menu.
We were going to but his hardware isn't quite up to the challenge.
for the sake of showing off I can open a whole crapload of windows and apps, hit Restart and choose "Reopen windows when logging back in" and be right where I left off in 20 seconds.
Until you go back to a machine with a hard drive and you wonder how we've ever lived with them.
Lol, PowerBook-G5! Your sister sounds hilarious.


The Storm's preparation for the finals is already underway, with the team deciding to rest halfback Cooper Cronk from Saturday's clash with the Knights.
They currently have Jahrome Hughes listed in his place, though Brodie Croft remains a possibility, named on the extended bench.
Cameron Munster also returns from injury.
Be sure to update your fantasy teams.
Good news, sports fans – there's only another two more months of speculation to go before Cooper Cronk announces his plans for 2018.
According to Fox Sports, Cronk will make an announcement prior to the Rugby League World Cup, which begins on the 27th of October.
The Sharks have been closely linked to a pursuit of Cronk in the event that he chooses to play on, but he doesn't appear to be in any rush to make that decision.
Oh well. At least now we have a deadline (sort of).
Everybody else has been linked to him at one point or another, so the Rabbitohs might as well get a Cooper Cronk mention, too.
According to Triple M, the Rabbitohs could be a "wildcard" in the race for Cronk's signature, due to his relationship with coach Michael Maguire.
Yes, it also occurred to us that they just started the Cronk-Rabbitohs rumour before immediately shutting it down in the same report, but hey – it's Triple M.
Imagining for a moment that there is some substance to Cronk wanting to play under Maguire; it might be a moot point anyway if the Rabbitohs don't start winning, with reports emerging last night that Maguire might be under pressure to keep his job.
But it sure is nice to dream about a backline featuring Greg Inglis, Dane Gagai and Cooper Cronk beating up someone other than New South Wales.
We're not sure if this means that his constant phone calls are going well or poorly.
According to 7Sport, Sharks coach Shane Flanagan is attempting to set up a meeting with departing Storm halfback Cooper Cronk, in the hope of recruiting him for 2018.
The report suggests that a decision is expected from Cronk on whether he'll retire or not before the end of the season; and if he plays on, the Sharks are serious about bringing him to the Shire.
There's more than just Flanagan hanging on Cronk's decision, with James Maloney to be forced to see out his contract if the Sharks can't lure in Cronk.
The fact that clubs are still entertaining the idea of Cronk suggests that in the very least they're as much in the dark as the rest of us.
Perhaps a sit-down chat will at least clear things up for Flanagan.

Succulent plants add a fun and refreshing element to any garden. Whether it be an exotic cactus or colorful Aeonium, these plants are fairly easy to grow and maintain in your home garden.
It's always important to research specific care tips on the species you are growing, but here are a few tips on how to care for succulent plants to help you get started.
As most species of succulents originate in the desert, they thrive in bright areas. A well-lit spot that also receives shade is ideal for these plants that tend to scorch when exposed to too much sun. If you notice that your succulent is stretching or bending toward the light, move it slightly toward the sun for more exposure.
It is a common misconception that succulents do not need to be watered regularly. While they can survive with less attention, they still need a little TLC to thrive and flourish. In warmer months, you should water your succulent at least once a week, soaking the plant with water when the soil is completely dry. In the cooler seasons, your succulent will go into a dormant phase and need less care.
Succulents grow best in warm temperatures, as the ideal every day temp is between 70 and 85 degrees. However, they can also survive cool temps that reach low as 40 degrees.
Succulents need well-drained soil to grow and flourish. With the increasing popularity of household succulent and cacti plants, you should be able to find an appropriate soil at your gardening store. Otherwise, a combination of regular soil, gravel and coarse sand will work fine.
It is not essential to fertilize succulents, but if you feel the need, keep it minimal, since overfertilization can kill the plant. It is recommended to use a low nitrogen fertilizer on succulents, and use one-fourth to one-half the suggested amount.


Texas ranked among the highest in the country for the number of incidents and threats at schools, according to a report.
Texas ranked high among all states in the number of incidents and threats of school violence, according to a new report.
The state ranked fourth in number of incidents and seventh in number of threats, according to the Educator's School Safety Network (ESSN), a national non-profit school safety organization. California topped the list for both criteria.
The ranking was determined by analyzing media reports on all violent incidents and threats in schools. Some specific data points collected included date, location, type of incident, type of school, how the threat or incident was delivered and discovered, and the response protocol enacted, ESSN reported. Data was collected from Aug. 1, 2017, through June 30.
In the same vein, the Texas Education Agency has released behavior data showing how many students per Texas region have gotten in trouble for having controlled substances and a firearm, among other disciplinary offenses.
Of all 20 Texas regions, 16 have had 10 percent or more of their students receive some sort of discipline per capita.

Unitank Pro brewing system is comprised of a temperature controlled jacketed conical fermenter and a removable grain basket. The conical fermenter is designed to withstand internal pressure of 15 PSI. To achieve this, it's constructed of 2.5 mm thick 304 stainless, finished to a mirror polish. The wort is cooled using this jacketed fermenter. Because of the thick stainless construction, it efficiently cools the wort, using little water to bring to pitching temperature.
The drop down menu offers three controller choices with the Unibräu Pro systems. and the ETC-120V is only available with Unitank Pro 6G.
ETC-120V Temperature Controller - This dual stage temperature controller was designed with simplicity in mind. It accurately and safely regulates mash temperature, and with the cooling outlet the ETC manages fermentation temperature control as well. Fermentation is controlled via the solenoid valve kit, or it can switch on a pump to allow chilled water through the integrated cooling coil. This controller can power a single 1600W 120V element.
Brewing element and power cord - Our brewing elements are custom made for us in 1600W if choosing the ETC-120V option, or 240V 4000W and 5500W if choosing the other options. The included 6' power cords fully disconnect from our brewing elements.
BR-19 stainless pump and silicone hose. Our pumps were chosen for their longevity and durability, and the pump system easily disconnect from the fermenter and grain basket with the included tri-clover compatible fittings.
Upgraded Sanitary Valve Kit - Our sanitary valves are a great choice as they disassemble in seconds for easy clean up and sanitization. Two valves are 1/2" ID and the trub dump valve is 1-3/8" ID for even the most flocculent yeast strains. In addition to the valves, all threaded fittings on the base system are replaced with tri-clover compatible fittings for easy disconnection and clean up.
Beer transfer kit - For easy pressurized transfers from your fermenter to ball lock kegs.
Aeration kit - Can be used with an air pump or easily adapts to an oxygen cylinder for aeration of your wort prior to pitching yeast.
CIP cleaning assembly - The clean in place spray ball automatically rotates while attached to the underside of the lid, for easy cleaning of the Unibräu Pro. Simply attach with the tri-clover fittings, and recirculate hot water and your favourite wash. Come back in an hour, and the hard work is done.


While Michael Black cannot point to a political track record or years and years of local government experience, he has demonstrated a thorough understanding of the issues the borough is facing (and likely to face in the years to come). In addition, he has all of the attributes and values we believe State College needs in a mayor for the 21st century, especially because of his approach to community-building and his passion for open, inclusive and data-informed communication. As the State College community continues to experience growth and change, the borough needs a strong, energetic ambassador who can help facilitate conversation and who is dedicated to making sure no resident gets left behind. We believe that Michael Black is the candidate best suited to lead the borough now.
