Women We Love: Elisabeth Rohm
And here she is. Number 14. The 14th person to step into the cast of Law & Order, the Menudo of TV shows. The fourth to step into the role of beautiful-but-cerebral sidekick to Sam Waterston's speechifying lawyer. (Though she is Law & Order's very first blond!) It's a hallowed Esquire tradition to feature the ladies of Law & Order, and we are not about to ignore precedent. So may we present to you the latest incarnation of Angie-Carey-Jill: the blond, 28-year-old former soap-opera star Elisabeth Rohm.
By Elizabeth Einstein
Corbis Outline
Some facts about Rohm: She likes eating at steak houses and riding horses (an activity she knows has sexual overtones, so stop smirking). She was on Bull, the TNT Wall Street drama. She likes traveling because it's "sexy" and "good for the soul." She's written an unpublished novel, and she also wants to be the next Spielberg. She enjoys working with Sam Waterston because "he's very mentally eccentric, and so am I. He's very well educated, and so am I."
Indeed, she's quite grateful for her Sarah Lawrence education: "I can sit and meet a politician. I can talk to doctors, lawyers, people at the UN — anyone." Lawyers especially. Her father is one. Which is why she balked when we asked her to tell us her favorite lawyer jokes. Didn't want to offend him. So instead of a joke, she offered up a law-themed quote from Mae West: "It ain't no sin to crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any."

Renowned CIO will explore emerging technologies for delivering care in closing keynote of Nursing Informatics Symposium.
Though longtime CIO Edward Marx, vice president at the Advisory Board Company, has won several awards as leader in the health IT sector, according to him it's nurses who should be the most recognized in healthcare.
"There is no profession that I have more respect for than nursing," Marx said. "Nurses are where the healthcare rubber meets the road."
Marx will be speaking to the Nursing Informatics Symposium at HIMSS16, with a closing keynote titled, "Looking Towards the Future; Imagine the Possibilities."
In his talk, Marx will examine how emerging tools, technologies and innovations will affect health and healthcare in the future, such as the use of wearable technology and the growing role of the consumer. He will explore the impact of the integration of smart phones and messaging, define the "Internet of Things" and explain its implications for healthcare.
"To be part of this conversation is a dream come true," Marx said. "To share ideas with the nurses about how technology and nursing will intersect down the road – wow."
Marx said he hopes attendees of his keynote can gain "a solid understanding of what technologies will disrupt nursing care as we know it today."
He also hopes to impart ways nurses can best prepare for the changes ahead and help them to achieve optimization of their health IT.
At HIMSS14, Marx was awarded the CHIME-HIMSS John E. Gall CIO of the Year Award, when he was the senior vice president and CIO of Texas Health Resources, one of the largest faith-based, nonprofit health care delivery systems in the United Sttes.
Now, as executive vice president of the Advisory Board's Clinovations company, he's on loan to New York City Health and Hospitals, where he's helping to lead an electronic health record implementation.
He's also the governor-appointed chairman of the Texas Health Services Authority, providing leadership over health information exchange. Marx served in this position since 2010. Concurrent with his healthcare career, he served 15 years in the Army Reserve, first as a combat medic and then as a combat engineer officer.
Marx has been a CHIME member since 2004 and a member of HIMSS since 1995. He became a HIMSS fellow in 1999 and a CHIME fellow in 2012. He has served in volunteer leadership positions for HIMSS at both the chapter and national levels.
Ed Marx will close the HIMSS16 Nursing Informatics Symposium with a keynote titled, "Looking Towards the Future; Imagine the Possibilities," slated for Feb. 29, 2016, from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. in the Sands Expo Convention Center Marcello 4404.


The Moore Theatre and Hotel (1932 Second Avenue) were completed in 1907, in time for Seattle's first world's fair, the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The opulent hotel and entertainment complex was built by James Moore, developer of many Seattle neighborhoods including Capitol Hill and Wallingford.
The stylish theater hosted such artists as the actress Ethel Barrymore, pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff and ballerina Anna Pavlova. It has more than 1400 seats in a steel and concrete structure with no columns to block views of the stage The theater and hotel still operate today.

Yes, Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One (fierce competition for longest game name between it Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie) is out and abusing PCs (Windows, Linux, Mac) and X360s everywhere with all its fruit **** goodness.
Did I buy it? You bet!
The story is funny (not quite laugh a minute, but laugh every two minutes at least). Of course that's to be expected when you make a game loosely based on a comic strip thats so damn funny. You'll find many references to the PA universe that are there for good measure, as well as plenty of new stuff to keep you laughing (I won't ruin it for you, I suck at retelling jokes). You don't have to be a fan of the comic to find it funny (it helps a lot, though), but when I think about it if you find the game funny you should be reading the comic.
The graphics, while by no means cutting edge are sharp, true to the comic and look great. The gameplay is all in 3D but the cutscenes are 2D animation (and they even manage to put your customised character in there).
Sound is probably the weak part, although it's not very weak... there's just not much really memorable. To keep it within size constrants (I'm presuming, anyway), there isn't much spoken dialog. There's a narrator (who sounds very good), but he's only heard during the starting tutorial and then occasionally as you go throughout the game. All other speech (including Gabe and Tycho's) is through comic speech bubbles. Most characters will make a grunt or two, but other than that... there's only so many times you can hear a Fruit **** squeaking as it "does its magic" to innocent citrus (or your leg).
Gameplay is obviously the most important part of a game, and luckily this doesn't disappoint. Most of the time you'll either be walking around the world looking for things to fight or fighting things. You control three characters during combat (you, Gabe, Tycho) and attacks are based on timers. Basically you can use items, then a normal attack, then a special attack (which involves minigame sort of thing, different for each character). Overall it's a lot of fun and there is a bit of strategy involved (do I go for a normal attack, wait for a special attack, or wait for everyone to get their special attacks and team up?), although fortunately not too hard (I'll admit thats my weak point... never make me play Ninja Gaiden). There are a few minigames, but they're not particularly complex and generally really easy.
Yes, unfortunately there is a bad part though... there's no multiplayer and practically no replayability to it, unless you want to start a new character and kick *** from the beginning. It's also more expensive than a lot of downloadable titles ($20US) and doesn't last as long as some other games. Is it worth it though? Yeah... it's a nice ride while it lasts (and its not like you can beat it in 2-3 hours, it's around 6- .
Poo Bear
I enjoyed the demo and I've added it to the end of my "to buy" list. I'm a fan of Penny Arcade so I found it very entertaining, I'm not so sure about non-fans getting it all. I noticed a few odd looks from friends who saw the fruit****** and had no idea what was going on "why are you fighting a bin?" being one comment Still, worth a go of the demo though anyway.
It made me want to go back and flesh out the hacking in MrRobot, if only there were more hours in the day!

Definitely a good game, although my hatred for mimes has increased tenfold after playing it.

You do fight actual trash bins later on in the full version. Naturally, they are trash bins containing the discarded essence of evil.
I liked the first episode for the art and the humor and am looking forward to the next one. Episode 2 really could use some deeper gameplay and questing and puzzles since nothing in the first episode gets too complicated or challenging (beyond properly dodging the attacks of some of the later enemies).

Riggers steal home-court advantage from Bandits in NLL Finals
Updated: May 19, 2019 1:31 AM EDT
BUFFALO — The Buffalo Bandits came into these NLL Finals as the favourites.
But don't let neither the nickname nor the label fool you.
It was the Calgary Roughnecks who made out like … well … bandits themselves, stealing home-court advantage from the season's best squad with a 10-7 victory in Game 1 of the National Lacrosse League's championship round.
The Roughnecks got two goals early from Rhys Duch, a hat-trick in the second half from fellow star Dane Dobbie and 48 saves from goalkeeper Christian Del Bianco to pull off a major heist in Upstate New York before 15,747 stunned fans at KeyBank Center.
Because of it, they've escaped Buffalo with a 1-0 series lead in the best-of-three NLL Finals and return home for Game 2 with a chance to win the NLL Cup next Saturday night at the Saddledome (7 p.m., NLL.com).
"It's a win — that's one game," said Dobbie, whose three goals in the second half Saturday tipped the defensive tilt in favour of the 12-8 Roughnecks over the 16-4 top-seed Buffalo Bandits.
"We get to go home now and take care of business."
They were all business in Game 1, putting together another shiny defensive gem that included just four goals being scored — two for each team — in a tight first half.
Del Bianco was a big reason why for the Riggers, while Matt Vinc for the hosts was equal to the task at the other end.
All totalled, the two snipes by Duch and responses from Bandits Corey Small and Dhane Smith made for the lowest scoring half of a championship game in league history.
"That's what the playoffs are about … if it's a defensive game we have to play, we'll do it," said Riggers head coach Curt Malawsky. "We did have some things we wanted to make sure we did. That was our plan — take care of the ball early and get our feet wet."
They did just that, playing a textbook first half, anchored by a defensive display of brilliance coming just eight days after winning the Western Division crown when allowing just four goals against the Colorado Mammoth.
"Thank goodness for our defence and Del Bianco for keeping us in it when our offence was missing the net, hitting posts and getting stopped by Vinc," Duch said. "Tie game at the half is right where we want 'em."
But the Riggers defence didn't limit its contribution to its own end.
Captain Dan MacRae's goal, capping a two-on-one transition rush and a feed from fellow defender Reece Callies and coming just 42 seconds after Shawn Evans put the home side on top, tied the game early in the third quarter moments after Del Bianco turned away the Bandits' Chase Fraser in tight.
MacRae's goal marked the turning point.
And the Riggers then found their way to victory behind leader and league MVP-in-waiting Dobbie and the team's other offensive superstar, Curtis Dickson.
First, Dickson — with a nifty shot short-side in tight — and then Dobbie with two goals — to close out the third quarter and open the fourth — capped a four-goal run by the Roughnecks.
That meant a 6-3 lead with 14:26 left to go.
"Sticking to the process (was key)," Duch said. "If you keep getting chances and keep getting chance, eventually they're going to go in for you, and we just happened to score three in a row."
"Putting a couple in in a row certainly took some weight off our shoulders," Duch said. "But it's the Buffalo Bandits — a (slim) lead we knew wasn't safe, but it let us take a bit of deep breath and let us believe we could score more goals if we stick to what's working. And we just kept rolling from there."
Small stopped the bleeding for the host Bandits with a reply 1:35 into the fourth quarter.
But another three consecutive goals by Dobbie and teammates Jesse King and Dan Taylor gave the visitors a 9-4 stranglehold with just over 10 minutes left in the game.
"I thought we played well," Dobbie said. "We stuck to the process and stayed even-keel, and the goals started dropping for us."
Josh Byrne cut into the lead with two Bandits goals, and then teammate Fraser snuck another shot by Del Bianco.
But the goalie, who saved 48-of-55 shots — while Vinc faced 44 at the other end — wouldn't get beat again.
Mitch Wilde's empty-net tally sealed it for Roughnecks, who then had to help the goal-scorer off the floor with a leg injury after he was driven hard from behind into the end-boards on the play.
Wilde should be fine, says Malawsky.
But everybody was feeling it though after a hard-fought but well-deserved Game 1 triumph.
"What a grind — my legs are shaky," Duch said. "But I think we know that's the kind of game we're used to playing and we want to be playing in. And it worked out, obviously."
But there's more to come, with Game 2 and a chance to win their first championship since 2009.
"We got lots of work to do," Malawsky added. "This is a series for a reason. That's a top team."

Q: How to change DataLabels color by using LiveCharts I am using Live Charts for Line chart and column chart.
I have enable data labels function.
But I use dark color as background. It make the data label look very obscure.
I can't find where I can change the data labels color. Anyone know how to change it?

in C#
        ProductionAndTargetCollection = new SeriesCollection
        {
            new LineSeries
            {
                Title = "Target",
                Values = DailyTargetValue,
                DataLabels = true,
                LineSmoothness = 0
            },
             new ColumnSeries
            {
                Title = "Production",
                DataLabels = true,
                Values = DailyProductionValue
            }
        };

in WPF
              <lvc:CartesianChart Name="MidRightChart" Series="{Binding ProductionAndTargetCollection}" DisableAnimations="True">
                <lvc:CartesianChart.AxisX>
                    <lvc:Axis LabelsRotation="0" Labels="{Binding ProductionAndTargetLabels}" Foreground="White" Position="LeftBottom">
                        <lvc:Axis.Separator >
                            <lvc:Separator Step="1"></lvc:Separator>
                        </lvc:Axis.Separator>
                    </lvc:Axis>
                </lvc:CartesianChart.AxisX>
                <lvc:CartesianChart.AxisY>
                    <lvc:Axis Foreground="White" MinValue="0"/>
                </lvc:CartesianChart.AxisY>
             </lvc:CartesianChart>

A: You should set the Foreground property of the Series to change the colour of the data labels:
new ColumnSeries
{
    Title = "Production",
    DataLabels = true,
    Values = DailyProductionValue,
    Foreground = Brushes.Red // <--
}

The Hague (Den Haag, Dutch) is the seat of the Dutch parliament and government , as well as the residence of Queen Beatrix, but it's not the capital of Netherlands. That honor is reserved for Amsterdam. The Hague is located on the shores of the North Sea and is home to Scheveningen, the most popular seaside resort.
It is totally different than Amsterdam; instead of canals, it has streets and avenues; instead of typical 7th-century step-gabled houses, it has 18th-century mansions in baroque and classicist styles; in short, it has a more continental feel than the capital.
The only public transportation option between Amsterdam and The Hague is the train, which takes about an hour and costs little more than €10.
Amsterdam Airport Shiphol (AMS) is the biggest and busiest airports in Netherlands and also one of the biggest travel hubs in Europe. It is located about 9 km from the city center and is hub for Amsterdam Airlines, Arkefly, Corendon Dutch Airlines, KLM, Martinair, Transavia, Tristar Air and Vueling.
Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM) is the third largest airport in Netherlands and serves Rotterdam and The Hague. It is hub for Transavia.
Considering the short distance between the two cities (70 km), there aren't any direct flights between the two airports and connecting flights start at €218 per person, one way on KLM, during late fall. Slightly cheaper airfare can be booked for spring (March 2012), starting at €197 per person, one way on Air France. The total travel time is 3h 40 min.
The trains between Amsterdam and The Hague are operated by NS . When you search for timetables and want to book a ticket, make sure to use the Dutch name of the city (i.e. Den Haag). Trains depart Amsterdam Centraal daily, every 30 min. The first train departs at 5:41 a.m. and the last is at 00:40 a.m. The travel time is about 50 min and the single adult 2nd class ticket is €10.20.
If you need to travel from The Hague to Amsterdam, the first train leaves at 5:58 a.m. and the last is at 11:58 p.m.
You can rent a car and drive the 70 km between Amsterdam and The Hague in about an hour via A4.

Your car may soon run on oil from food waste
In what could give new meaning to fast food, now scientists have discovered a way to extract oil from pasties, crisps and other food waste and turn that into an eco-friendly fuel.
British fuel supplier Greenergy International announced that it has developed a new technology to extract cooking oil from food waste and blend them with diesel to produce an environmentally-friendly fuel.
According to the company, which produces 10 billion litres of biodiesel and diesel annually, it has invested 50 million pounds in its production facility in Lincolnshire to process used cooking oils -- which can make up to 30 per cent of some processed foods.

The green fuel, the company claimed, will soon be ready to be sold at petrol stations across Britain, the Daily Mail reported.
Andrew Owens, founder and chairman, Greenergy International, said: "We have always tried to find ways of reducing the environmental impact of our fuel and as oil prices continue to rise, it's obviously important to develop alternative sources of fuel.
"The quantities of biodiesel that we are currently producing from solid food waste are small, but we're expecting to scale up so that this soon becomes a significant proportion of our biodiesel.
Photographs: Uttam Ghosh/Rediff.com
"It's great to be taking these products, which would otherwise have gone to landfill or compost, and turning them into a new source of fuel."
Greenergy said it is working with Brocklesby Ltd, which developed a method of extracting oil from food waste. It then purifies the oil further and turns it into biodiesel.
Generally, food solids are dried and either composted or used to produce energy through anaerobic digestion. But the firm announced that it will use the waste to make solid biomass fuel pellets or briquettes, or more fuel for cars in the form of bioethanol.
Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerine is separated from the fat or vegetable oil.
It contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend and can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modifications.

When Gary Sinise Saw How Obama Treated Families of Fallen Soldiers, His Response Was Legendary
Legendary actor Gary Sinise, best known as the hard-charging "Lt. Dan" in the movie "Forrest Gump," is not just a hero on a Hollywood screen — he's also a hero in the real world, helping disabled veterans through his Gary Sinise Foundation and providing a voice for those who fight for our country.
After President Obama held a Rose Garden ceremony for the parents of alleged-deserter Bowe Bergdahl, with National Security Adviser Susan Rice claiming that Bergdahl served with "honor and distinction," Sinise once again used his celebrity platform to be a voice for the families of the fallen soldiers who died searching for a man who allegedly deserted his post in the middle of a war.
When the U.S. Army brought charges against Bergdahl earlier this year, Sinise took to Twitter to demand that the White House explain exactly why the now-infamous prisoner swap, in which Obama traded five high-ranking Taliban commanders for the alleged traitor, took place — for the sake of the families who lost sons, brothers and husbands in the process of searching for Bergdahl.
Watching an industry full of sheep who worship Obama's every move, we're always grateful to see patriotic Americans in Hollywood, who stand behind our troops, separate themselves from the rest and not hesitate to call out the commander in chief for his questionable actions.
Gary Sinise was a voice for veterans long before Forrest Gump. In the 1980s, Sinise was profoundly moved by a play written by Vietnam veterans called "Tracers," which highlighted how America treated returning soldiers from Vietnam.
Because of personal experiences with his brother-in-law serving as a combat medic in Vietnam along with other family and friends and seeing how they were treated upon returning to their homeland, Sinise vowed to use his platform to make sure such mistreatment never happens again.
We salute Sinise for taking his time to stand up for veterans, especially disabled ones, to get them the help that they most certainly deserve after putting their lives on the line so the rest of us can sleep peacefully at night.

(January 9. 2004) -- An LBPD pursuit through parts of western and northern LB before ended up Paramount where LBPD's SWAT team was summoned after the driver barricaded himself before surrendering to officers.
LBPD Public Information Officer Greg Schirmer says the events began on Feb. 8 at about 12:50 p.m. when west division patrol officers spotted a stolen vehicle near 15th St. and Pine Ave., tried to pull the vehicle over and the driver failed to yield.
After winding through parts LB streets, the chase moved onto the northbound 710 and eastbound 91 freeways until the suspect exited at Paramount Blvd. and headed north.
The suspect paused to speak with persons he apparently knew in the area of Alondra Blvd. and Georgia Ave. and officers began to conduct a high risk stop...when the suspect began driving again, this time to the 16000 block of Indiana Ave., where he then remained in his car and refused orders to get out.
Considering him a barricaded suspect, LBPD activated its SWAT team...but before they could fully deploy, the suspect gave up peacefully.
PIO Schirmer says the suspect, a 21 year old LB man, has a no bail warrant for a parole violation for domestic violence, was a named suspect in an assault with a deadly weapon charge. He will now be booked on charges of evading and for the allegedly stolen vehicle.
No one was hurt in the events which consumed roughly two and a half hours.


Wine Flavors - The Grapes — EverWonderWine?
Last time, we started the exploration of wine flavors. And, basically, a wine's flavor comes from the grapes, the fermentation process and its aging. So, let's jump right in and start with the star of the show, the grapes.
You might think "Well, of course a wine's flavor comes from the grapes." And, yes, the grapes are extremely important in the wine making process and form the basis for how the wine will taste. But, within a grape variety, there can also be tremendous variations associated with factors such as where the grapes are grown and when they are harvested.
Location is very important. Factors such as day and night time temperatures, sunlight, the amount of rainfall and soil type all play into a wine's terroir. Grapes grown in cooler climates such as in Bordeaux, will tend to have their red fruit flavors enhanced (e.g., cherry and red currant) and be a bit lighter in body while warmer climate Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in California's Napa Valley produce bigger fruit flavors (e.g., blackberry, black currant and black cherry).
Harvest time also plays a huge role in a wine's flavor. Winemakers are constantly checking the sugar levels of the grapes in the vineyard (Brix) as they ripen. As the sugar levels increase in the grapes, the acid levels that produce tartness will decrease. So, winemakers chose the Brix-to-acid ratio that will produce the flavor of wine they are looking for.
Where the grapes are grown and when they are harvested plays a huge role in the flavors of all wines. But, once these flavors are established, the fermentation process and aging will also contribute to a wine's final flavor. We'll look into these factors in the next couple of blogs. Until then, Cheers!

Automox Patch Tuesday Breakdown: January 2020
Welcome to January's Patch Tuesday breakdown.
This month, we're looking at the first security updates of the new year. Microsoft's first update for 2020 includes fixes for 49 security vulnerabilities, eight of which are rated "Critical." While this month is relatively light in terms of quantity, there are some substantial threats getting addressed this month. One of the critical vulnerabilities remedied for January, CVE-2020-0601, is getting special attention from the NSA – but it is not the only vulnerability to look out for this month. On the server side of things, there is a critical RDP vulnerability (CVE-2020-0609) which allows for remote code execution.
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 are receiving their last free patches this month as support from Microsoft will be discontinued. But the end of support doesn't mean the end of security risks, so organizations should take the appropriate steps to secure their legacy devices.
This month, Adobe has also issued critical security updates –and Mozilla has released a fix for a zero-day vulnerability in the Mozilla Firefox web browser.
After surviving the holidays, we can all be grateful for the low volume of security updates this month, though there are some substantial vulnerabilities that need to be corrected sooner rather than later. And be sure to check out last month's breakdown for coverage of December's Patch Tuesday update.
Microsoft fixes 49 vulnerabilities, 8 critical
Of the 49 security fixes released this month from Microsoft, eight are rated "Critical," with one drawing special attention from the NSA. According to reports, the NSA discovered CVE-2020-0601 and actually alerted Microsoft to the problem instead of weaponizing the vulnerability.
The NSA has even released a statement on this month's Patch Tuesday, specifically to discuss this particular vulnerability and encourage users to patch their systems.
CVE-2020-0601 is a Windows CryptoAPI Spoofing Vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in the way Windows CryptoAPI authenticates Elliptic Curve Cryptography certificates, and it affects Windows 10 users.
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by using spoofed code-signing certificates to sign malicious files and make them appear to be from trusted, legitimate providers. Users would have no way of knowing the files are malicious because the digital signatures appear to be from trusted sources. Successful exploitation can allow attackers to run man-in-the-middle attacks and decrypt confidential information.
As the NSA cautions, patching is the most effective way to mitigate the risks of this security vulnerability.
CVE-2020-0601 is not the only critical vulnerability addressed this month, though it may be getting the most attention.
Microsoft tackles critical RDP vulnerabilities
For January, Microsoft has also released fixes for three critical remote desktop vulnerabilities:
CVE-2020-0609 and CVE-2020-0610 are both remote code execution vulnerabilities that exist in Windows Remote Desktop Gateway. Unauthenticated attackers can connect to the victim system via RDP and send specially targeted requests. Attackers who successfully exploit this vulnerability can run arbitrary code on the victim system, allowing them to view and change data, install programs and create new accounts with full user rights. Once an attacker has access, lateral movement throughout the network is hard to stop.
These vulnerabilities are also pre-authentication, which means they require no user interaction to execute.
CVE-2020-0609 is rated a 9.8 on the CVSS scale, which means it is very highly ranked in terms of severity. Windows Servers 2012, 2016 and 2019 are affected by CVE-2020-0609 and -0610.
In the update, Microsoft corrects these issues by changing how Remote Desktop Gateway handles connection requests.
CVE-2020-0611 is a remote code execution vulnerability that exists in Windows Remote Desktop Client when users connect to a malicious server. Attackers can trick users into connecting to a malicious server through a variety of means, such as DNS poisoning, social engineering or ma-in-the-middle attacks. A legitimate server can also be compromised and used to host malicious code while the attacker "lies in wait."
If successful, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary code on the computer of the connecting client, allowing them to view and change data, install programs and create new user accounts.
The update resolves this issue by correcting how Remote Desktop Client handles connection requests.
More updates from Microsoft
There are four other critical updates from Microsoft to take a look at this month. These include:
CVE-2020-0603 is a remote code execution vulnerability that occurs in ASP.NET Core software when the software fails to handle objects in memory. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by tricking users into opening a specially crafted file – such as with an email attack. If successful, attackers can then run arbitrary code within the context of the current user. If the account has administrative rights, attackers can view and change data, install programs and create new user accounts. User accounts without admin-level access may have a lesser impact.
To address this issue, the fix from Microsoft corrects how ASP.NET Core handles objects in memory.
CVE-2020-0605 and CVE-2020-0606 are both .NET Framework remote code execution vulnerabilities that exist in .NET software, when the software fails to handle objects in memory. To exploit, attackers need to convince users to open a specially crafted file with an affected version of the .NET framework.
This is resolved by correcting how .NET Framework checks the source markups of files.
CVE-2020-0646 is another remote code execution vulnerability that exists in the .NET Framework. This vulnerability occurs when .NET framework fails to validate input correctly. Attackers who successfully exploit this vulnerability can seize control of the victim system.
Microsoft corrects this by changing how the .NET Framework validates inputs.
Updates from Adobe and Firefox
Both Adobe and Firefox have released important updates for January. This month's update from Adobe tackles nine security flaws in total – five of which are critical flaws in Adobe Illustrator CC.
The five vulnerabilities in Illustrator include:
All five can contribute to arbitrary code execution and can leave Illustrator vulnerable to a memory corruption attack. Adobe also released four "important" and "moderate" updates for Adobe Experience Manager.
Mozilla has also released a critical update for the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Released on January 8, 2020, CVE-2019-17026 is a critical flaw that is already being exploited in the wild. According to reports, "Incorrect alias information in IonMonkey JIT compiler for setting array elements could lead to a type confusion."
Attackers can exploit the Javascript code to take advantage of targeted machines and install malicious code outside of Firefox. The issue is so severe that even the Department of Homeland Security is advising users to patch for this flaw.
While January may be light in terms of patching volume, there are several substantial vulnerabilities to resolve this month – and there is also the end of support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 8 to reckon with. The new year is a great time to ensure all your devices are current with the latest software, system and security updates.

We start with the huge posh houses where Sloanies live. Then it's Duke of York House, which is much better known as an art gallery. One cute little road later we're at the Chelsea Hospital of red coated pensioners fame. We walk through the beautiful grounds and buildings and get a great view of where the Chelsea Flower show takes place too. Then it's along the embankment for unusual view of the river – we see a pagoda and a Buddha for example!We then head along Cheyne Walk, which must have had more famous people live in it than any other road in the country. Among those with connections to the area that we tell you about are Thomas Carlyle, Sir Thomas More and numerous great artists. There's also perhaps the least logical blue plaque in London. The charming Albert Bridge, a very old dairy, a Tudor mansion and some Peabody buildings are also to be seen. And of course no visit to Chelsea would be complete without walking along a bit of the King's Road. Then it's time to head through the beautiful grounds of a fine church, where Dickens was married, and on to the leafy squares and crescents that lead us into Kensington. We can finish at the world's first and still most beautiful museum cafe or at a tube station.

The closest I�ve ever come to a marital crisis was when I found my wife in bed with a Kindle. Another shock came when I discovered she has a Facebook page. My reaction to those discoveries was the reflection of my favorite phobias: fear of the demise of the printed word, and the abhorrence of addiction to the social media.
There�s a name out there for a person like me: �digital dinosaur.� I�ve lived much of my life outside the Internet. I�m familiar with the Web, but my existence never depended on it. Most people I know have �smart phones.� I don�t even use a dumb cellphone. Still, somehow I manage to survive. Go figure.
I recently read a study about people�s addiction to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media wonders, and learned that 54 percent of American adults use them even while taking a vacation. That figure is significantly higher than last year�s 28 percent. People surveyed said they were concerned about being left out, and seen as irrelevant, unless they stayed in touch all the time. There�s even an online service, called Klout, which measures users� impact by counting the number of �hits� they receive. Some people admitted they get depressed when their Klout numbers decrease.
As a journalist brought up in the old-fashioned way, I treasure the printed word. I understand the economic necessity of online publication, but it�s not the same thing as holding and folding the pages, feeling and smelling the newsprint, marking up and clipping articles with love, occasional dismay and ink-stained fingers. I�m deeply concerned about the decline of newspaper reading. A Pew Research Center survey found fewer than of one-third of Americans born since 1977 read a newspaper every day, and 33 percent said they wouldn�t miss the local paper if it went out of business.
The demise of newspapers is a serious threat to our democratic republic, which depends on free expression and independent oversight of government. Day after day, newspapers across the country report and comment on events, relentlessly probing irregularities, excesses and wrongdoing. Brief news blurbs on television are no substitute for serious journalism. The Internet could never fill the void created by the loss of the printed press.
The closing of Borders leaves only one major bookselling empire in the country, Barnes & Noble. The number of outlets in suburban malls and shopping centers such as Waldenbooks, Crown, and B. Dalton has been diminishing. Independent bookstores have been long driven out of existence. Libraries, too, have been converted into outlets for electronic reading. The almost spiritual pleasure of browsing � moving along endless rows of shelves, looking at titles, lifting and examining volumes � is gone.
Book publishing has been defined by the bottom line, with producers marketing big-name authors and potential bestsellers, regardless of quality or enduring value. Book clubs are few and far between, and book reviewing is a vanishing art. The resulting cultural impoverishment has been felt in many areas of modern life, from standards of popular entertainment to the tone of politics.
Social networking has paved the way to wholesale violation of our private way of life by such big-time snoopers as Julian Assange�s WikiLeaks and, more recently, the hacking of the phones of unsuspecting people by Rupert Murdoch�s now-defunct News of the World, a newspaper in London. These outrageous excesses reflect the distorted view in some circles that �getting the news� at any cost is acceptable.
Studies are telling us that our brains crave networking and attention, which explains the flourishing blogging industry, a form of make-believe journalism without accountability. Unfortunately, electronic technology also enables megalomaniacs with the proper skills to cause global mischief, threaten national security and endanger the lives of others.
Dinosaur or not, I�m aware of the many blessings of the digital age. I know electronic technology has moved research, science, communication and information beyond boundaries that in the past were unimaginable. The computer made writing and editing faster and easier. Email enables me to keep in touch with friends around the world. Filing taxes, renewing registrations and shopping online means convenience for many.
So I don�t begrudge the technologically wired people like my wife, who seldom goes anywhere without her PC. But my approach to the Internet is relatively simple: Use what is necessary to make life easier, and leave the rest to others.

Truckee tennis: Boys remain undefeated in league
Sports Sports |
The undefeated Truckee boys tennis team went 2-0 against improved North Tahoe and Sparks squads last week, defeating the Lakers 12-6 and the Railroaders 15-3.
Led by Zach Haas, Truckee's singles got off to a fast start against North Tahoe, winning all their matches, 6-0, 6-3, 6-4. Not to be outdone, Kevin Cross and Colin Deurlington set the pace for the doubles by also sweeping their opponents, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.
Second-round action saw Truckee's No. 4 singles, Zach Yamauchi, challenged in a 2-6 loss to North Tahoe's No. 1 single. Sawyer Laine, Truckee's No. 5 singles, continued to find his ground strokes but fell to the No. 2, 4-6. In doubles, Truckee's No. 4, Grayson Beckert and Jack Keith, won 6-0 and the No. 5, Turner Drummond and Jack Watters, playing together for the first time won 6-2.
The Lakers had their best round winning four of the six points. Truckee's No. 2 singles, Ethan Gotts, and No. 2 doubles, Quincy Schram and Zach Larson, provided the only wins of the round, 6-1 and 6-2, respectively.
Additional highlights had Spencer Thomas showing his best ground strokes and movement of the season, but it was not enough in a 4-6 loss. Other players seeing action were Tonito Posada, Jed Downing, Alex Caldwell and Dustin Holbrook.
The Railroaders rolled into town with their largest team of the season but they were still two shy of a full team. This gave Truckee the opportunity to shuffle its lineup.
Larson, Drummond and Watters were Truckee's singles and won convincingly, 6-3, 6-0 and 6-1. Beckert/Keith, Laine/Posada and Caldwell/Thomas also posted early wins, 6-2, 6-4 and one to forfeit.
Truckee's No. 4 singles, Dustin Holbrook, was the only change during the second round. His contribution along with the starters had similar results, 6-4, 6-0, 6-3. Truckee gave up only one point in a doubles loss to Spark's No. 1, 2-6.
The Railroaders saved their best round for last recording an additional two points. Truckee's No. 5 singles, Randy Butler, scored a convincing win, 6-2, but all the drama came down to the last doubles match. Laine/Posada battled in a back-and-forth match with the Spark's No. 1's resulting in a late match tiebreak. Leading early, Truckee could not finish it out, losing 6-7 (4-7).

Teairra Mari sex tape: All the latest de Private video and still photos of Teairra were leaked to her own Instagram page and then spread elsewhere on the internet. She blamed her boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad for the leak. View this post on InstagramLove this cinnamon color hairdidki?!!! Baecation on all streaming and platforms NOW! In a very serious press conference, Teairra and her team of lawyers addressed the sex tape, placing the blame on both Akbar and 50 Cent.
Teairra Mari's Sex Tape And Nudes Have Leaked (WHOA)
Teairra Mari: Leaked Sex Tape! | TMZ Live
In the suit, Teairra says her ex, Akbar Abdul-Ahad logged into her Instagram account and posted the video, which included an image of Teairra with ejaculate all over her face. She believes Akbar was getting back at her because she didn't want to be in a polyamorous relationship, as he had suggested. Teairra says that's why she broke up with him earlier this month, and shortly afterward he informed her his phone had been stolen. In docs, obtained by TMZ, she says that was the moment she knew he was planning to post their sex videos. Teairra says she deleted the IG post as soon as she saw it, but that's when 50 Cent got involved. According to the suit, the rapper posted the ejaculate screen grab in black and white, in order to highlight the fluid on her face.
LOVE & HIP HOP: Teairra Mari Leaked Her Own Sextape
Deets on that leaked sex tape that just went viral and her hacked Instagram inside…. This afternoon, T. That mug also had some proper lighting, so it seems this was intentionally taped for later private viewing.
Former Roc-A-Fella Records singer Teairra Mari made headlines earlier today May 9 when explicit photos of her were posted onto her own Instagram account, which she claims was done by an ex-lover. Taking an image from the leak, which included video and explicit photographs, 50, who will hit the road for his Get Rich Or Die Tryin' 15th anniversary tour this fall, poked fun at the whole situation. Now, it appears that Instagram has taken down the post, and 50 Cent quickly spoke out about the matter. In the post, she spotlights the fact that this particular leaking could constitute an act of revenge porn, which is, of course, illegal.

'Racism not art': Anger at Truganini bust auction
Posted MonMonday 24 AugAugust 2009 at 2:01amMonMonday 24 AugAugust 2009 at 2:01am , updated MonMonday 24 AugAugust 2009 at 7:55amMonMonday 24 AugAugust 2009 at 7:55am
Tensions are rising over the auction tonight of busts depicting two renowned Tasmanian Aborigines.
The busts of chief Woureddy and his wife Truganini will go under the hammer in Melbourne.
They are expected to net about $700,000.
The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery says it will not bid for the works as it already has one of each of 30 copies that were made.
Two women from the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre allege they were verbally abused and threatened at the museum yesterday when they demanded the removal of the copies from public display.
The centre's legal director Michael Mansell says such images convey the extermination of Aboriginal people.
"These images are held up to perpetuate the racist myth that unless you were so called full-blood, untainted by marrying with white people, you weren't a real aborigine," he said.
"The fact that the museum has been displaying a bust of Truganini, along with the busts of other people, is perpetuating the myth.
"Everybody knows that the image of Truganini conveys to the racist people of the world that she was the last something or other...either the last full blood or last aboriginal.
"That is a racist perpetuation of a myth and her image is being used to try to exterminate the aborignal people in Tasmania.
"For that reason her bust should not be sold just so people can make money out of it.
"These busts shoud be returned to the aboriginal community in Tasmania without any conditions so that aborigianl people are no longer hurt by the use of the images of a dead woman who can't protect herself and who, if is she had known about this, would have objected very strongly," Mr Mansell said.
A Tasmanian Museum denies the women were threatened.
The director, Bill Bleathman, says there is a good relationship with the Aboriginal Advisory Council and the pair were acting on their own.
"I've since spoken to members of our advisory council and found they weren't asked for their opinion on this matter before these two women confronted me."
The two women have flown to Melbourne to protest at tonight's auction.
The Tasmanian Premier David Bartlett says he feels sympathetic towards Aborigines protesting against the sale of the busts.
Greens leader Nick McKim has urged the State and Federal Governments to buy them and then return them to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.

The club's records in the early years are excellent, and Paddy Gaffikin's book Kiwis on the Common, written to mark LNZCC's 50th Anniversary in 2002, is a notable record of the early days. Things went a bit soft in the middle years but since 1992, the statistical record has been kept admirably (thanks to club members Peter Tippen and Tony Penman for this effort over many years).
Alongside the players listed below, one man has made a very significant on and off field contribution to LNZCC over many years - club umpire Martin Conway, who by his own estimates has umpired at least 430 games for the club. Long may it continue.


Tim Hudson (6-2, 1.75 ERA) is on the hill for the streaking Giants tonight, and he wants revenge. The last time he faced the Mets, while playing for Atlanta, he cruised through 7 2/3 innings of 2-run ball, only to fracture his ankle during at play at first base.
Fortunately for Hudson, Mets batters aren't hard to retire. They rank 28th in the league with a .233 team batting average. Hudson is already having a great year throwing his patented sinker in San Francisco's gigantic park, so look for him to toss another gem tonight.
On the other hand, the Giants are trying to figure out which Bartolo Colon will show up for the Mets. Colon (5-5, 4.52 ERA), hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in a start since May 17th. In the three starts before that though, the veteran righty was tagged for 16 total runs.
It's hard to believe, but 85.1% of Colon's pitches are straight fastballs. When he's able to paint the corners, and stay low in the strike-zone, he'll challenge every batter he faces. But if he makes mistakes up in the zone, San Francisco will take batting practice on him.
On the offensive side, the Mets are flat out awful at producing runs, while the Giants will be looking to jump on the predictably plentiful fastballs in every at-bat. Our prediction? Look for the long-ball to change the game tonight in favor of the Giants.

Carbon monoxide; Microbial consumption; Wright-Hobbie kinetics; Marine waters
Microbial consumption is the dominant sink of oceanic carbon monoxide (CO), one of the major carbon-containing photoproducts of chromophoric dissolved organic matter in marine waters. This study presents first-order microbial CO consumption rate constants (kCO) determined using whole-water dark incubations in summer and fall in diverse marine ecosystems covering the Delaware Bay, NW Atlantic, and Beaufort Sea. The microbial CO consumption rate constant, kCO (mean ± SD) was 1.11 ± 0.76 h–1 in the Delaware Bay, 0.33 ± 0.26 h–1 in the coastal Atlantic, 0.099 ± 0.054 h–1 in the open Atlantic, 0.040 ± 0.012 h–1 in the coastal Beaufort Sea and 0.020 ± 0.0060 h–1 in the offshore Beaufort Sea. The kCO in the Delaware Bay covaried with chlorophyll a concentration ([chl a]), rising with increasing salinity in the range 0 to 19 and diminishing with further increasing salinity. The kCO in the Beaufort Sea is significantly positively correlated with [chl a]. Both the Atlantic and cross-system data sets showed significant positive correlations between kCO and the product of [chl a] and water temperature, suggesting that [chl a] can be used as an indicator of CO-consuming bacterial activity in the areas and seasons sampled in this study. Microbial CO consumption was shown to follow Wright-Hobbie kinetics, with variable but low half-saturation concentrations: ~1 nM in the Beaufort Sea and Gulf Stream and 2 to 18 nM in the coastal NW Atlantic. These low half-saturation concentrations suggest that microbial CO consumption in seawater is at times partly saturated, and that some previous microbial CO consumption rates determined with the commonly used 14CO method could be underestimates due to the addition of 14CO as a tracer substrate. The present study provides valuable data for coastal and Arctic waters whose kCO values are poorly or not constrained, including extensive data on the dependence of kCO on the concentration of CO.

REGULARS at The Playhouse may find themselves doing a double-take while watching the smash hit musical Matilda, which comes to the Greenside Place venue next month.
Just three years ago, 28-year-old Michelle Hopewell could be found selling ice creams and showing people to their seats. When the stage version of Roald Dahl's popular children's story stops off at The Playhouse, however, Michelle will be on the stage, playing one of the principal characters, Mrs Phelps the Librarian.
Matilda tells the story of an extraordinary little girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.
Michelle worked at The Playhouse from October 2015 to March the following year before moving to London when she landed a role in the original cast of Aladdin.
"But when I am not on tour, Edinburgh is my base and the place I call home," she says.
Michelle worked at The Playhouse while studying drama at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and has fond memories of her time as part of the front of house team.
One show that left a lasting impression on the young actor was Shrek, she reveals.
"It was one of the busiest shows of that time and it was so special to see all of these excited families seeing one of their favourite animated characters come to life.
On one occasion, Michelle did get a taste of what to expect when Matilda checks in.
Helping out with a show while was working as an usher, she found herself standing on the stage of The Playhouse, looking out into the auditorium.
"It was a truly special and humbling moment. I was a new graduate at the time and stepping on the stage to assist another performer confirmed that I was doing what I loved," she recalls.
When next she steps onto that same stage, it will be as Mrs Phelps. "Mrs Phelps is one of the most fun characters I've played," she reveals.
"She is full of life and love. She has a profound love and respect for stories and in a lot of ways they are the things that feed her energy.
And Michelle has these words of support for anyone currently working front of house and dreaming of being on the stage.
Matilda The Musical opens at The Playhouse on April 2 and runs until April 27.

You may keep without a special license: lizards, turtles, tortoises, crocodillians, frogs, toads, newts, salamanders and many kinds of snakes.
You can not keep: any boas or pythons, regardless of type or size.
All venomous snakes, are also prohibitted.
You can keep captive bred reptiles of the native species that are protected (except for rattlesnakes), as well as long term captive animals that you did not collect yourself.
Before moving to Saskatchewan with your pets, you must apply for and receive, prior to arriving (2 weeks in advance to be safe) an import permit for all captive wildlife. By definition, captive wildlife includes everything besides common domestic pets (cats and dogs) and livestock. Every reptile, is considered captive wildlife, and requires import permits.
Likewise, if you already live in Saskatchewan an import permit is required if you buy a reptile pet outside of the province, and intend on bringing it back with you, or have it shipped to you.
An export permit is required to send captive wildlife out of province, or to take it with you when you move.
In Saskatchewan, import and export permits are free.
If found to be in contradiction of the laws, fines can be as much as $5000 / offense, and they can and probably will confiscate your pet. They can also confiscate all of your other "legal" pets as well if they so chose.
If the animal in question was CITES listed, you can also be charged under the Federal Wappritta act, which can result in much larger fines.

State of the Low Country: Lowcountry Driver: Automotive Manufacturing
May 10, 2018 07:43AM ● By Makayla Gay
By John Jeter
Think about automotive manufacturing sort of like an NFL team. You've got the high-marquee players, the star quarterbacks and wide receivers with the big-time brand names. Then you've got the linemen, the centers who, y'know, hike the ball. No hike, no drive.
So it is with the auto industry in the Lowcountry, where such gotta-get-me-one-of-these brands as Volvo and Mercedes-Benz get more attention than the "tier one" and other suppliers nearby.
Those are the companies that make the parts that make the cars go. No parts, no drive. They include IFA, Cummins, and Bosch, to name a few pouring into the Lowcountry—and pouring investment.
"Lots of excitement here," says Dermot Kennedy, manager of site development for IFA North America, which produces 2 million parts a year at its North Charleston plant.
Those parts: propshafts, which connect transmissions to axles—along with 4,000 constant-velocity joints on 14 production lines. Billing itself as one of the top three propshaft manufacturers in the world, IFA opened its Lowcountry site in 2003. Today, IFA employs about 600 workers in the Charleston area. When its $60 million plant becomes operational early next year at the Charleston Trade Center off I-26, the company will add yet another 120 jobs.
Meanwhile, Cummins has been in Charleston a lot longer, since 1973. That's when the Indiana-based company purchased a manufacturing site of about 1 million square feet near the Ashley River. Founded in 1919 and now a Fortune 500 company, Cummins makes, well, pretty much everything: fuel systems, radiators, turbocharger systems—and even boasts an R&D "test cell."
Between its Leeds location and its latest Palmetto Site, the company has invested more than $150 million and employs nearly 700 people.
"Cummins' workforce is outstanding, and Charleston is an attractive location for recruiting employees," says Jasmine Kang, the Palmetto Site plant manager.
That's largely why the company chose Charleston in the first place—long before South Carolina workers knew how to build cars, working instead in South Carolina's original economic engines: textiles, cotton, and tobacco.
"Cummins wanted to diversify its workforce locations," Kang says. "The area had a strong, skilled trade workforce, particularly given the proximity to the Charleston Naval Base."
Moreover, the increasing number of auto-related manufacturers is spurring public investment in more training sites and programs, the biggest and most recent being the $5.5 purchase of the former American LaFrance manufacturing site near Summerville. Compliments of the state Department of Commerce, the South Carolina Technical College System and its readySC division, the site now plays host to some Volvo trainees, the Swedish carmaker whose first North American plant, operational this year, will employ up to 4,000 workers within the next decade.
Back to the lesser-known major players, namely Robert Bosch LLC.
Another granddaddy of the tier-one suppliers, Bosch also cites the Lowcountry's workforce. The company, founded in Germany in 1886, opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Charleston 45 years ago and has since invested more than $320 million in the Lowcountry.
Today, its more than 1,700 employees make things such as fuel injectors, high-pressure pumps, and Electronic Stability Program modules for automotive braking systems; in other words, like the others, Bosch plays the car-parts center that hikes the automotive football.
"Bosch saw the competitive workforce trend early and has always understood that the foundation of our success is our employees," company spokesman Tim Wieland says. "We understand that without a quality workforce, we can't be successful."
With South Carolina's unemployment rate at 4 percent—one-tenth of a percentage point below the national average in March, according to the state Commerce Department—will auto-related manufacturers run out of available workers?
Mike Graney, vice president of Global Business Development for the Charleston Regional Development Alliance, says no:
"While Charleston's overall unemployment rate is low, our regional workforce continues to grow, as 34 people per day move here—four times faster than the U.S. growth rate—constantly replenishing the labor pool as they seek better employment and lifestyle opportunities."
Besides, competition for workers isn't a bad thing, executives say.
"While the local labor market for manufacturing positions is competitive, MBV sees this as an opportunity to hire from top talent coming to the Charleston area. Charleston has become a major hub for manufacturing in the region," says Michael Balke, president & CEO of Mercedes-Benz Vans (MBV).
With a $500 million investment and the opening later this year of its nearly 1-million-square-foot facility along the Palmetto Commerce Parkway, MBV employs 1,300 people, while contributing 400 new jobs for local suppliers, the company says.
And, of course, there's even more to cars than all these manufacturers.
Take Frampton Construction Co. Based in Charleston since 1977, Frampton built IFA's 234,000-square-foot facility in Berkeley County. Construction workers compiled 99,000 hours before completing the project in March.
"It's great to see the expansion of manufacturers here to support the automotive and other industries we see growing and thriving across the state," CEO Chad Frampton says.
All these 400 automotive-related companies point to the global and financial fuel helping drive South Carolina's economy, with the state Commerce Department listing these benefits:
$27 billion economic impact, thanks to being the nation's No. 1 exporter of tires and completed passenger vehicles
66,000-member workforce
20,220 jobs added from 2011 to 2017
$8.7 billion in capital investment during the same period
"Over the last two decades, the size of South Carolina's automotive industry has quadrupled," the state says, adding that the sector is one of the top 10 fastest-growing labor forces in the country.
Which brings us to another one of those marquee automakers here: Volvo Cars. The company will employ some 1,500 people to produce the all-new S60 sedans by the end of this year.
"We chose South Carolina for many reasons, including its access to a major port and strong infrastructure," says Stephanie Mangini, spokeswoman for the manufacturer now under Chinese ownership. "Another attraction is the people in the Lowcountry. There continues to be a strong partnership with local and state government, as well as our neighbors."

What light do I set up first?
So when you are thinking how you will light a photo or video, imagine you are painting a picture with your lights as your bushes to achieve the mood you want. The key light should be your first light you set and you need to choose whether you want to use a hard or soft light source. A hard light is from a single point light source. This creates sharp, distinct shadows and edges. A soft light is created from a broad light source. This creates soft shadows and edges, with the light rolling off of the subject.
You may want to use hard lighting creates stark shadows for a more moody or gritty appearance. Soft lighting is more forgiving and neutral in tone, with softer shadows that are better for emphasising beauty.
Once you are happy with the effect you are getting from your Key light, move on to setting you fill and backlights.
Here you can see a Typical 3 light interview setup. In my opinion to get the best result always set your Key light up on the far side of the interviewer (from the camera). A good starting point for the light is so the light above eye height and about 45 degrees. I always use a soft light for my key, but this is personal preference.
When setting the Backlight a good place to start is setting it up so it is just out of shot behind the talent. The Backlight can be set up high or even down to shoulder or chest height of the talent. A backlight works best when it is on the opposite side to the key light. My go-to advice is keep the light above the talents head unless they are bald. Another import factor to setting the Backlight is to make sure it only lights the back of the talent or subject. A badly place Backlight can shine on the tip of the talents nose creating a hot spot that looks bad.
Setting the fill light is the easiest of all. It literally is only there to lighten shadows so depending on what shadows you want to lighten will determine its position, but a safe place to start is as shown above. One import thing about fill lights is to make sure they are not too bright (otherwise they become the key light). Shadows are good and create mood so don't try to get rid of them completely.
If you only have two lights you can setup as above. In this two light video setup you are using a Key light and a Backlight. The fill light is supplied by a reflector this can be anything that is white (or silver). A really easy, cheap and good option is to use foam core board, but if you want something that will work for you for years to come try a fold out reflector like this or like this.
There will be many situations where you will need to light the talent as well as the background. Don't worry you can achieve this with a 3 light kit as shown above. However please note with more lights in your kit will give you more options in your lighting of any scene or photo.
Remember lighting for video or any images is a very personal thing. Some types of lighting that I like may not be what you like. There is no correct one way to light, but for most shoots you will want to make the talen look as good as they can and the 3 setups above will help you achieve that.
What lights do I use for an Interview?
I own a range of lights but I have a two types of light fixtures that get a lot more use than the rest of my lights put together, Lowel Tota-light's and Dedolight DLH4's. I have 4 Lowel Tota lights and 7 Dedolight DLH4 lights as part of my kit. Typically I use the Tota's with Umbrellas or soft boxes to produce beautiful soft flattering light for both my Key and Fill. I then will use a Dedo for a Backlight. Then to add more visual interest to the shot and background I will use a few Dedos to add accents to areas of the frame. Do remember that shadow is necessary in any shot other wise your images will be flat and lack the ability to draw the viewer's eye to different areas.
When lighting the easiest way to see what each light is doing is to turn the others off and only have one light on at a time. That way you can see exactly what the light is hitting and affecting, then you can move, diffuse, colour, strengthen or dim the light until it is doing what you want. Have fun experimenting with your lights!

Q: How detach and Attach entity with JPA User user = userRepository.findOne(1);
user.setName("Alex");//I want to save it

user.setAge(44);//I dont want to save it

How detach and Attach user with JPA JpaRepository<User, Long>
That's a fundamental principle of JPA. You work with attached (managed) entities, and every modification made on these managed entities is automatically made persistent but in same case I want to turn off it. How to do it in clean way?

10 Amazon Hardware Products Driving the e-Retailer's Holiday Sales
By: Don Reisinger | November 29, 2016
Hardware products such as the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot and Kindle Fire tablet have helped the e-retailer behemoth set Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales records.
Amazon Echo Plays Music, Controls Smart Homes
The Amazon Echo is one of the more popular options from the company. The device is a smart home appliance that can control everything from a house's lights to a Nest thermostat. It also features a built-in speaker and microphone, allowing users to listen to music and issue vocal commands, respectively. It's available for $180.
The Fire HD Big Screen Tablet Costs as Little as $90
Those hoping for an affordable tablet should consider the Fire HD 8. The tablet comes with 16GB of onboard storage and an HD display. It runs Amazon's tailored Android operating system on a 1.3GHz quad-core processor. A 32GB option is also available. The 16GB version goes for $90 when customers agree to watch Amazon ads on the device.
Smaller Fire Tablets Cost Even Less
Amazon also sells an even cheaper tablet called the Fire Tablet. The device, which starts at just $50, runs on the same operating system as the Fire HD 8 and similarly comes with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor. However, its storage comes in 8GB and 16GB versions, and at 7 inches, its screen size is slightly smaller than Amazon's alternative. The Fire Tablet offers up to seven hours of battery life.
Read Books in Direct Sunlight
The $120 Kindle Paperwhite is an e-reader designed to be read in direct sunlight. The device has a 300-pixel-per-inch display that measures 6 inches and features a built-in adjustable light to help users read comfortably night or day. The Kindle Paperwhite's built-in battery lasts for weeks, and the device includes access to Amazon's Kindle Store, which has more than a million titles for sale priced at $3 or less. It connects to the internet over WiFi.
Kindle Entry-Level Tablet Has Lower Screen Resolution
The standard Amazon Kindle has about half the pixel resolution of the Paperwhite, but comes with a 6-inch glare-free screen. Like the Paperwhite, it runs on WiFi and gives users access to the Kindle Store. Amazon says the device's battery can last weeks on a single charge and is capable of holding thousands of books before users need to worry about making space. The Kindle is available for $80.
Kindle Voyage Is Amazon's Top e-Reader
Amazon's Kindle Voyage is the company's top e-reader. The device has a high-resolution, 6-inch screen that can adapt its backlighting automatically based on the ambient light to provide ideal brightness. Like the others, its battery lasts for weeks and the device includes access to the full Kindle Store. A feature called PagePress built into the Voyage lets users turn the page by simply increasing the pressure on its sensors.
Echo Dot Is a Chip Off the Amazon Echo
The Echo Dot is simply the Amazon Echo without its top speaker. The device, which costs $50, has a built-in microphone that gives users voice control over their lighting, thermostats, calendar and much more. To use Echo Dot to listen to music, it needs to be connected to a speaker or set of speakers. Think of it as the brain of the Amazon Echo but not the speaker.
Amazon Tap Is a Portable Speaker
The Amazon Tap is essentially a Bluetooth speaker that can deliver up to nine hours of playback before it needs to be recharged. The Tap is similar to the speaker built into the Echo. And over a WiFi network or mobile hotspot, it utilizes Amazon's virtual personal assistant Alexa, allowing users to do everything from requesting news headlines to ordering a pizza. The Tap is designed to be portable. It costs $130.
Amazon Fire TV Gives Dumb Televisions Some Smarts
Those hoping to turn their dumb televisions into smart televisions might want to consider the Amazon Fire TV. The device, which costs $90, is a set-top box that connects to the television and allows users to stream content from Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and other services. It also supports apps and video games and works with Alexa. More than 7,000 apps are available through the device.
Dash Offers Shopping Help
The Amazon Dash might be the cheapest item in this roundup, but it could also be the most useful. Amazon sells a slew of small buttons called Dash that customers can place strategically around the house. Pressing the button automatically sends a signal to Amazon to place an order to replenish the household item associated with that Dash. For instance, users can place a laundry detergent button on the washing machine. Once they're close to running out, users can press the Dash button and place an order to replenish their favorite detergent. Amazon will then complete the order and ship it out without users ever going to a computer. Dash buttons cost $5, but come with a $5 rebate after the customer's first purchase.
