It looks to me like you're a customer of the hosting provider 247workinghost, and they don't want you to get certificates for subdomains of their domain. If so, that's their choice.
Do you have your own domain name that you've registered for yourself? If not, and if you don't intend to do this for some reason, you'll need to ask 247workinghost whether it's OK with them for you to get a certificate for this subdomain, and, if so, whether they can help you do so. It's very unlikely that we can help you to do this without their cooperation!
I am from 247workinghost.com and i want this certificate for my hostname, which is mentioned above as sub domain name. I want to renew it for myself and i have main administrative access to the server. Waiting for your help to re-generate it.
The domain's CAA records specifically do not allow Let's Encrypt to issue certificates.
247workinghost.com.  2877  CAA  0 issue "comodoca.com"
To use Let's Encrypt, you have to add a CAA record for 0 issue "letsencrypt.org" to 247workinghost.com or win02.247workinghost.com or remove the existing CAA record.
Do you have administrative access to the domain's DNS?
Yes i have access, do i have to delete the entry of old/existing certificate from the DNS records and need to re-issue ? Is it right or what to do, please mention step by step guide.
You don't have to do anything to your existing certificates.
You just have to add or remove one DNS record.
After deleting the record from DNS, i will try now with the re-issuance and update you soon.
There was no record in the DNS, i have added the record as per the above help.

The SQL INSTEAD OF DELETE trigger is fired before the execution starts. So, you can use this trigger to store the values in another table before the delete option, or perform some operation, or deleting different table etc. In this article, we will show you, How to write the INSTEAD OF DELETE Triggers in SQL Server with an example.
TIP: You can refer INSTEAD OF INSERT Triggers in SQL Server article to understand the INSTEAD OF INSERT Trigger, and INSTEAD OF UPDATE Triggers in SQL Server article for INSTEAD OF UPDATE Trigger.
Employee Table Audit also holds the same 14 records, along with the Server Instance name, Server name, and Insert Time (Audit Information).
In this example, we will show you, How to create an Instead of delete Triggers in SQL Server. For instance, if you want to restrict the users from deleting the records in the original table, and you want those logs in another historical table then you can use this trigger.
Here, we will create a trigger on the Employee table using the CREATE TRIGGER Statement. From the below code snippet you can see that we are using the MERGE Statement to select all the records that you want to delete from the Employee table, and then We are deleting those records from the Audit table.
It means when the user deletes any Employee table record then trigger will delete those records from the audit table, and kept the Employee table unchanged.
For the demonstration purpose, we are deleting all the records in the Employee table whose Occupation = Professional, or Education = Bachelors.
Though we performed delete operation on the Employee table. As you can see from the above screenshot, our Employee table is unchanged. Next, check the records in the Employee table Audit using the following query.

Q: How can I configure swap over ethernet? I have 2 computers and a patch cable, just a straight connection between them with no hub/switch/router/etc. I need more RAM and the other computer has lots of free RAM, how can I use its RAM as swap, over ethernet?
Both systems are running Arch Linux.

A: First off, this is generally a bad idea.  The moment that the Ethernet connection goes down (or the system providing the swap space shuts down/crashes/reboots), the system that is using the swap space will die because it can't access the swap space.  You'll also see even more serious than usual performance issues when swapping (you would need 10GbE and really good NIC's to avoid this, at which point you're better off just getting more RAM).
That said, you've got a couple of options.  The simplest and most reliable in my experience for stuff like this is ATAoE (ATA over Ethernet) or NBD.  Unfortunately, Arch does not support ATAoE out of the box (it's a lot simpler to set up quickly than NBD, and only requires special software on the side providing the swap space), but NBD is supported.  You would need to create an in-memory filesystem on the system with lots of RAM, create a swap file there, and then share that out with NBD and tell the other system to connect to it.
Using NFS to share the file would probably work also, but is likely to be more error prone and less efficient.

A: Been there, done that.
Mount a remote nfs file system. mkfile, mkswap, swapon.
It is useful if you want to do a native compilation on an embedded system.

A: I'm sharing the RAM of another machine via a swap over NBD
host/server
Setup ramfs (if needed, if not just skip to nbd)
sudo mkdir /mnt/ram
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=16G tmpfs /mnt/ram

Config file /etc/nbd-server/config:
[generic]
  user = nbd
  group = nbd
[swap]
  exportname = /mnt/ram/swap
  copyonwrite = false
  prerun = truncate -s 16G /mnt/ram/swap && mkswap /mnt/ram/swap

Start NBD
sudo systemctl start nbd

client
sudo nbd-client 192.168.1.3 -name swap /dev/nbd0
sudo swapon /dev/nbd0

On October 11, 2007 an undercover detective from the Broome County Sheriff's Office in New York was advised by a confidential informant that a man who went by the street name of "Ace" was selling cocaine. He provided the detective with a cell phone number of the man. The detective called the cell phone and made arrangements to meet with "Ace" for the purpose of buying some cocaine.
After getting off of the phone, the officer looked up all of the known drug dealers in the area that used the street name, "Ace." There were three persons who were using that name. The detective went to the location that was agreed upon and "Ace" approached the passenger side of his car. He leaned in and exchanged a small "knotted wrap" baggy of cocaine for $50 cash from the detective. They had a short conversation and the dealer left. The drugs tested positive for cocaine.
On October 25, 2007, the detective again contacted "Ace" on a cell phone and made arrangements to meet with him to purchase cocaine again. The officer advised that this time, they met in a location that was in close proximity to a school. This time when "Ace" came to his car, he got in the passenger side. The officer advised that he purchased the drugs from the same person calling himself "Ace" each time. This time, they exchanged the cash for the drugs inside the vehicle. The detective was then asked to drive "Ace" to a different location which he did.
The detective then obtained warrants for the dealer and he was arrested for criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal sale of a controlled substance in or near school grounds. The dealer was found guilty in a bench trial for both crimes.
The detective advised that he had ample opportunity to get a good look at the dealer in that he leaned into his car at the first meeting and had a conversation with him. On the second meeting, he actually got in to the detectives car and drove with him to a different location. The detective further stated that he is quite sure of his identification in that he has also arrested the "other" Ace for dealing drugs on October 16, 2007.
The Supreme Court finds that the officer's testimony as to the identification of the dealer is valid and convincing in that he met with the man on two different occasions. He reviewed pictures of all of the dealers using the street name, "Ace" prior to meeting with the dealer the first time. Further convincing testimony was in the evidence that the detective was familiar with the other dealer that this one was trying to implicate. Additionally, the detective provided convincing testimony as to the fact that dealers in the area often share street names and cellular phones in an effort to confuse prosecution cases and bring up questions of true identity.
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions.

Jake Roos, Darren Fichardt and Richard Sterne all reached five under par to hold a share of the lead on home soil.
English Qualifying School graduate Sam Hutsby had made a storming start to reach six under after eight holes, but a double bogey at the ninth pegged him back as he reached the turn four under.
The Hampshire player was joined on that mark by another South African, George Coetzee, as the home challenge made a promising start.
World Number 94 Sterne started on the back nine and enjoyed a hat trick of birdies from the 15th, while Fichardt had two eagles on the way out – at the par five 11th and 15th.
The 21 year old former Walker Cup star Hutsby had opened with three consecutive birdies and notched three more from the fifth, before his six on the 464 yard ninth.
Tournament favourite Charl Schwartzel, his compatriot James Kingston and England's Nick Dougherty are amongst the later starters.


With some exceptions for GCC nationals and people touring from 33 countries spread across America, Europe, and Far East who are eligible for a visa on arrival, a valid visa – otherwise – is obligatory for all visitors to the UAE. The UAE visa is in the form of electronic visa. There are different types of visas, and the visitor's purpose of entry usually determines the sort of visa that one should apply for. In fact, the prerequisites and documentation procedures vary from one visa service to another. With that being said, there are certain conditions that apply to all Dubai visa services. For instance, in order to apply for a Dubai visa online, the applicant, along with holding a valid passport, must ensure that he has not been barred from entering the UAE or deported from the country.

Versatility, thy name is One. We're assuming, in this instance, that versatility is defined as a microphone/USB audio interface made by Apogee. And it earns this label because this black ice cream sandwich sized interface allows you to connect a variety of audio devices to your Mac via USB as well as XLR and quarter-inch connectors. It supports both standard XLR microphones as well as those that require phantom power. And tucked inside is a quality mic preamp.
Versatility, thy name is One.
We're assuming, in this instance, that versatility is defined as a microphone/USB audio interface made by Apogee. And it earns this label because this black ice cream sandwich sized interface allows you to connect a variety of audio devices to your Mac via USB as well as XLR and quarter-inch connectors. It supports both standard XLR microphones as well as those that require phantom power. And tucked inside is a quality mic preamp.
Compatible with any Core Audio application (including Apple's Logic, Logic Express and GarageBand as well as Ableton Live and ProTools), the One also sports a very decent built-in microphone.
Inside the box you'll find the One, Quick Start guide, software disc, USB cable and breakout cable that holds an XLR input and a separate quarter-inch input.
Install the software and restart your Mac. Attach the breakout cable to the top of the One and jack in a guitar or microphone cable. Regrettably, the box does not contain a microphone clip that fits the One. Apogee sells such a clip separately.
Apple and Apogee have a close relationship, so Apogee's gear tends to "just work" out of the box. In the case of the One and GarageBand, this is exactly the case.
To use it with GarageBand, string the included USB cable between the One and a USB port on your Mac. Fire up GarageBand and you'll be asked if you'd like it to use One as an input and output device. Click Yes and you're nearly there.
The One will now appear as the input source in any real instrument (digital audio) track and will also be used by default for guitar tracks. By default, its built-in microphone is the selected input. Also by default, it will be GarageBand's output device. You can use it that way with headphones or powered speakers plugged into the Headphone port or change outputs and monitor from another device, headphones or speakers attached to your Mac for instance.
You can change its input by clicking on the Input Source button and a small Apogee One window appears. In this window's Source popup menu you can choose Internal Microphone, External Microphone, External 48V Microphone (a microphone that requires phantom power) or Instrument. Also within this window you can adjust the One's input gain, select whether it's connected to a line-level source or instrument amplifier, and switch muting on or off.
When you switch inputs, the appropriate input icon on the front of the One lights up to tell you how the One is configured. At this point you can use the One's large single knob to adjust the device's gain. A three-stage LED tells you how high that gain is.
That large knob can control more than input gain. Press on it to toggle between the selected input and the output port. Once you've selected the output port you use that knob for adjusting the One's output volume. Press and hold on the knob for one second to mute the output. Unmute by again pressing the knob for a second.
The One supports both 44.1 and 48kHz sample rates (44.1kHz is selected automatically when you use GarageBand). You must change the device's sample rate within Apple's Audio Midi Setup utility.
Included in the software installation is Apogee's Maestro Mixer application. If you find that your music software has too much latency, you're monitoring your performance through headphones and that performance is delayed by the software, you can route it through Maestro Mixer which introduces far less latency. I didn't have any latency issues recording with GarageBand on my 2010 MacBook Pro, but it's nice to know that Maestro Mixer is there if you need it.
All the instruments and microphones I plugged into the One sounded great. I didn't detect any added noise and the input was clean regardless of the gain level I chose. Sound from the headphone jack was just as clean.
I conducted a couple of recording tests with the built-in microphone and was mostly pleased with the results. In a voice test I found that the One's mic is a little brighter than I like my mics to sound. MXL's USB.009 for example, produces deeper tones and plays down some of the sibilance that I heard from the One. It's also a much more expensive microphone and doesn't act as an audio interface.
I used two Ones to record my piano and I was impressed with the results. I was able to record the piano with GarageBand by creating an aggregate device in Apple's Audio MIDI setup, recording two channels simultaneously, and assigning one One to the first track and the other to the second track. When mixing the two I panned the One over the low strings hard left and the other hovering over the high strings hard right.
As a fairly bright mic, the Ones certainly picked up the ringing of the piano's high notes, but the low notes were also evident. You can hear the result for yourself in the linked audio file.
I'm very impressed with Apogee's One (and more impressed with two when miking a piano). For the price, it provides a lot of flexibility, great sound from instruments and microphones plugged into it, and good voice quality from a device that isn't designed to work only as a microphone. If you're a musician or podcaster who needs to record only one input at a time, the One is a very tempting interface.

Hello Everyone! I am here again with another interesting content. I often used to watch motivational videos whenever I get down. Motivational quotes or videos help me gain energy. Because of these motivational things failure can never break me. In this blog, you would be able to read about motivation. It will also help you teach the fundamental importance of motivation. So, let's start the subject.
"Motivation is the reason for people's actions, desires, and needs. Motivation is also one's direction to behavior, or what causes a person to want to repeat a behavior. A motive is what prompts the person to act in a certain way, or at least develop an inclination for specific behavior."
Motivation means the urge or passion of changing the impossible subjects to possible ones. A man would be able to achieve great things when he owns a strong urge for that. Motivation is no more than a positive thought. It's the spirit that enables you to get up even after getting failure 99 times. Motivation allows you to think positive in all circumstances and show you new ways.
Each one of us gets down on and off. Sometimes we break too badly, that we thought it's all over. These devastating situations get away all the hopes from us. At that moment, we need something that fuels our passion and rebuilt our broken pieces.
A person can be successful only when he is able to reconstruct himself. Failure comes to those who don't have to courage to face it. But great people face failure and continue their journey towards success.
"A champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning."
As the quote demonstrates the value of motivation. Motivation is important in one's life. Without motivation, you can do well but with motivation, you can conquer the world. Conquering the world is possible only when your spirit is enormous and you want to achieve high goals.
Everything needs some fuel or driven force to work. Equipment or machinery that is not fueled become idle. Similarly, a person also loses his energy with time due to failures or mishaps. If this energy is not refilled at the time, the person goes into the dark.
For preserving yourself from darkness boosting yourself is much important. You can energize yourself by motivation. Read, see or hear something that opens the door of hope for you. Listen to those who believe in you and ask you to get up one more time. This is what a motivation does. It gives you a new hope of positivity and success.
It's our mind that makes things possible and impossible. The tasks that are a bit difficult we called them impossible. But, many people in front of us have made these impossible things possible. Only the urge inside you can make you turn impossible to possible.
When you are motivated you can do anything one can even imagine. So, motivation is really important to get extra-ordinary rewards.
A motivated person can never stop. Making lame excuses is not a hobby of motivated persons. A person can make excuses when he wanted to get rid of his responsibilities. While a determinant person breaks all the chains of laziness and keeps moving forward. He consistently does his work regularly because he knows if he wastes his time today, he will never be able to achieve what he dreamed of.
Sometimes work is a stressful thing and we do it unlikely. That moment when you do your allocated tasks without heart you can never give your best. But when you are motivated or your aims are clear in front of you, you do these tasks with full concentration. You feel good while doing your job. Work start pleasing you when you are having positive energy inside you.
We see many people in our surrounding that always think negatively. These peoples always look on the darker aspects rather than focusing on the brighter ones. Almost 40% of our surrounding is that mentality. Meanwhile, many other people who think positive are also present. They ignore the bitter sides and always look on the pleasant things. This positivity can found only in a motivated person.
Only a motivated person can say you that "Don't worry buddy! Everything will be fine." This is the revolution that motivation does in our self and in our thinking. You become a positive person with anonymous energy. Negativity gets away from you.
So, motivation can help you in many ways to get better results. Life is completely transformed when our motivation levels are high. Don't get hurt on bad events rather keep yourself calm in all situations. Everything will just get well if we don't hit it severely on our mind.
With that, I really appreciate that person in our lives which are like energy boosters. I m grateful to all those loved ones.
Thank you so much for reading. I hope all of you get what I want to portray. Stay connected to further posts. I will be back soon.


The Simi Valley is an anticlinal valley in Southern California in the United States. It is an enclosed or hidden valley surrounded by mountains and hills. It is connected to the San Fernando Valley to the east by the Santa Susana Pass , and via the narrows of the Arroyo Simi to Moorpark and Ventura, California . The relatively flat bottom of the valley contains soils formed from shales, sandstones and conglomerates eroded from the northern hills of the Santa Susana Mountains, that separate the Simi Valley from the Santa Clara River Valley to the north. The Simi Hills lie along the south side of the Simi Valley.

How The Jan. 17 Full Moon Will Affect You If You're A Virgo
Ann Stryzhekin/Shutterstock
By Amanda Lynne/Jan. 13, 2022 8:45 pm EST
For many, the full moon is the time of the month when they express their gratitude for the blessings in their lives, as well as reflect on how they'd like to change what's not working (via Spirituality & Health). As the first full moon of 2022 is set to emerge in the sky on January 17, many are preparing for their monthly ritual, which can include journaling, manifestation, spending time outdoors, and setting new intentions.
This month's full moon is called the "wolf moon," and falls under the sign of Cancer, which is known for its deep emotions. These emotions can be felt by other members of the zodiac during the lunar event, per Bustle. The outlet suggests that there may be some secrets that come to light during the upcoming full moon, but claims that the revelations will ultimately help heal and create peace. It's also revealed that doing shadow work and focusing on self-care is a must during this emotional lunar event.
For Virgo, the new moon on January 2 was all about focusing on self-care and taking a step back from the hustle and bustle of the holidays to tend to their own needs. However, the full moon will be all about looking towards the future.
Virgo should look to the future during the full moon on January 17

According to Bustle, those born under the sign of Virgo (August 23 – September 22), should work on setting goals and visualizing what they want to achieve in the future.

Inspiration: Art
Mind-bending, Unsettling, Cheeky and Cute Illustrations
by Hugo Seijas February 27, 2019 0
Alice Lin is an accomplished painter based out of Beijing, China. In her work as a painter and as a freelance artist, Lin draws inspiration from traditional sources as well as more fantastic sources, the "fascinating wonderland," as she puts it, "of possible realities combine[d] with the human figure, plants, animals into a singular, calm, dark vision." A recent series, A Moony Night, posted on Behance, shows Lin bringing her mission statement to wondrous life.
The series, produced with traditional Chinese paints on silk, begins with a word from the artist. Here she describes the meaning of moony night for her as being "about empowerment in a soothing way." The series, for Lin, is an attempt to give the viewer a sense of that empowerment. She achieves this through this wild cross section between Salvador Dali and Alice in Wonderland, as though Dali came along and produced a series inspired by Alice's adventures. It's a strange alchemy that creates precisely the sense of "calm, dark vision," that Lin professes to be after. The series follows an adorable rabbit, placid in the face of bizarre, increasingly dark surroundings and pooling waters, melting daisies, chopped off heads of flowers, a potentially murderous flamingo and the absence of its body as its own eyes warp into Daliesque puddles in its dismembered head. And all of them are rendered in through traditional means. The overall effect is mind-bending, unsettling, cheeky and cute. All at the same time.

A punt and a field goal were the difference-makers in Friday night's matchup between two Guilford County powerhouse football teams, as the Page Pirates edged out the Eastern Guilford Wildcats in the first meeting between the two teams at Tommy Grayson Field.
The first half of the game featured defense and penalties with neither team getting its offensive rolling. The Pirates held the edge in total offense at halftime, but also had the most penalties which slowed several of their drives.
Eastern Guilford won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half, a decision that played to their advantage.
The Wildcats were the first to score in the second half. They started the drive from mid-field and six plays later, Collin Smith booted a 44-yard field goal through the uprights to put his team on the board.
The Pirates turned the ball over on a Javondre Paige interception just two plays later. Eastern's Nic Cheely returned the interception to the Page one-yard line, and it took Wildcat quarterback Dominique Graves two tries to get into the end zone. The extra-point kick was blocked, making the score 9-0 Eastern.
The following Page possession ended with a commanding 44-yard punt from Thomas Murray, and the Pirates downed the ball on the Eastern one-yard line. The punt was the beginning of the Page comeback.
The Pirates tackled Eastern quarterback Dominique Graves into the Eastern end zone, and with that safety, the momentum that the Wildcats had so quickly gained was stolen by the Pirates.
On the kickoff from the safety, it took Page just three plays to score. Cody King, a receiver who made timely catches all night, took a hand-off from Paige and ran the far sideline, where he met a formidable pack of Wildcats. The 5'5" King broke through the defenders and finished the run with a touchdown. King made several big plays on the night but none bigger than this 50-yard touchdown run.
The Pirates caught a break when the Eastern punter went to a knee on a low snap at the end of the third quarter, deep in Wildcat territory. Four plays later, Javondre Paige trotted 13 yards into the promised land to give Page their first lead of the night, 16-9.
The Wildcats went on a 6-play, 87-yard drive that lasted just 1:24 and erased the Pirates lead just 1:30 after the Page's last score.
On the comeback drive, Adam Akins made a 47-yard reception on the first play from scrimmage to get the Wildcats to the Page 40. Page was then penalized for pass interference that moved the ball to their 25-yard line and another for holding which moved it to the 15. Then Dominique Graves found the waiting hands of Zaccheus Milton, and the score was once again tied.
The Pirates started their final drive of the game with 10:17 to play on their own 24-yard line.
Page's offense took over and did what some would say they are notorious for doing, eating time off the clock. They went on an 18-play, 74-yard drive that took more than eight and a half minutes off the clock.
The Pirates screeched to a halt on the two-yard line on third and goal, so they put the game on the foot of Thomas Murray, the man who had given them what they needed to get on the board late in the third quarter.
Murray came through again, blasting a 19-yard field goal through the uprights to put the Pirates up 19-16.
The vaunted Page defense held on as Eastern Guilford gave its all to try for the comeback with no timeouts and 1:40 on the clock. The Eastern offense converted once on fourth-and-10 to keep the drive going, and they were finally stopped with just six seconds remaining and attempted the game-tying 43-yard field goal. Page burst through the line and Stephen Scott partially blocked the field goal, and downed the ball with 0.3 seconds remaining on the clock to secure the Pirates third win of the season.
"Within a matter of minutes, we made some crucial mistakes." he added.
Page head coach Jared Rolfes spoke about the difference a solid kicker can make on a game.
The Page Pirates improve to (3-1) on the season with the win and Eastern Guilford drops to (3-1). Eastern Guilford takes on Smith Friday and Page will play Reagan High School in Winston-Salem next week.
Thank you for these stats.

The Mirrored World imagines the world and life of St. Xenia, a historical figure known for serving the impoverished in St. Petersburg, Russia during the eighteenth century and endeavors to explain how she became the historical figure that she is known for today. The tale is told by Xenia's cousin Dasha and is enriched by historical details (and gossip) about the royal family and the quirky antics of the court during this time period.
This is a sad interesting tale that I enjoyed quite a bit. It didn't have me tearing through the pages, but every time I opened this little book I found myself losing track of time as I became completely engrossed in the story. Dasha isn't the most interesting character but somehow the story is more interesting told from her point of view. The beauty of this book is the writing and how Ms. Dean manages to unveil a sad story in such an artistic manner. It's almost like a song, sad and poignant. My only complaint involves the description on the book cover. It tells the entire story. I like reading descriptions but this one goes too far.
I'm not sure if it is for everyone, but if you enjoy historical fiction and great writing, give this one a try. Be prepared for a sad sad read though.
It sounds really good until the sad, sad part. I haven't been able to read a sad book since 'Sarah's Key.' That one just about killed me and I'm still not ready to dive back into a sad read. I'm glad you liked it though!
This one is sad throughout but there is some distance from the sadness though. That somehow makes it better.
I love that feeling of getting lost in a book like you did with this one!
I know nothing about St. Xeina, so this sounds interesting from a fictional POV. I like that her story is told through an outside observer's eyes...I wonder what the difference would be if told from her POV.
Doesn't sound like something I'd normally pick up, but you make it sounds interesting enough.
Telling from her point of view would have taken a lot of the mystery out of it. I think it had to be taken from an outside POV.
Sounds like a pretty unique tale. I had never heard of St. Xenia but your review made me want to look it up!
I hadn't until I read the book. It made it more interesting to me.
I love interesting stories, but not if they're sad.
I think it's one of the instances where the journey is more important than the outcome. I admit I became more interested when I read about the "unlikely transformation of a young girl, a child of privilege, into a saint beloved by the poor."
Thanks for stopping by :). I'll be sure to check it out.

Nate Allen to Raiders: Latest Contract Details, Comments and Reaction
Published: March 12, 2015Posted in: Oakland RaidersTags:
Nate Allen is no longer a free agent, as the veteran safety signed with the Oakland Raiders Thursday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news, which the team confirmed on Twitter.
Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun broke down the financial details:
Allen spent the last five seasons in Philadelphia. A former second-round pick by the Eagles in 2010, he had his share of struggles with the team. He did have a career-high four interceptions and three fumble recoveries in 2014.
The advanced numbers suggest that Allen is starting to find himself. Thomas Maney of Pro Football Focus had the 27-year-old as the sixth-best free-agent safety this offseason:
Allen improved in each of the last two seasons following a -13.0 graded 2012. Last season he graded positively in both run defense and coverage while playing primarily as a deep safety, though he also saw snaps near the line of scrimmage and in the slot. Got his hands on six passes in 2014, including four interceptions, which matched his PD total over the previous two seasons.
The Raiders are trying to build up their defense with a solid young core, led by star linebacker Khalil Mack. Allen isn't a star-level player, but he certainly represents a solid investment for the franchise.
It also helps that Allen is starting to show signs of what made him the 37th draft pick five years ago. The Raiders will be thrilled if he keeps evolving with their defense, as they are getting a good under-the-radar player who won't hurt their salary cap.

Weekend Box-Office: ENCANTO & GHOSTBUSTERS Lead Lackluster Post-Holiday Frame
Without any new releases, the weekend box-office struggled. While Disney's "Encanto" and Sony's "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" are still holding at the top of the charts, the earnings are not particularly impressive.
Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.
"Encanto" topped the charts this weekend with $12.7 million, a 53% drop from its debut, which is relatively normal for a Disney Thanksgiving release, but its overall earnings are less than stellar. The film has grossed $57.9 million domestically after 11 days in theaters, while overseas it raked in another $58.1 million. Not particularly impressive for a movie that cost somewhere between $120 and $150 million to produce (without marketing costs). Still, the movie is likely to cross the $100 million milestone in North America. "Encanto" will be released on Disney Plus after playing exclusively in theaters for 30 days.
"Ghostbusters: Afterlife" is also holding in second place with $10.3 million, which helped the film cross the $100 million milestone after 16 days in theaters, but it did drop a steep 57% in its sophomore frame. Overseas, the film has grossed $13.1 million this week, for a total of $42.9 million.
In third place we have Ridley Scott's "House of Gucci" with $6.7 million. The film has dropped 53% from its $14.4 million debut. It has raked in $33.6 million domestically and another $33.6 million internationally. While solid results for a drama in the pandemic landscape, it's certainly not very profitable when considering its $75 million production budget.
Fathom Releasing's faith-based "Christmas with the Chosen: The Messengers" opened in fourth place with $4.1 million from 1,700 theaters. The film features new and classic Christmas songs from the set of "The Chosen", a popular faith-based streaming series which follows the life of Jesus. The show has been billed as the most successful crowdfunded TV series of all time. The movie was released in theaters on December 1, and has grossed a total of $8.7 million domestically. It will be available exclusively in theaters for 10 days before being released via streaming later this month.
The Top 5 is rounded out by Disney's MCU movie "Eternals" with $3.9 million. With another 50% drop this week, both in North American and overseas, the film is performing below Marvel standards. Its current tally now stands at $156.5 million domestically and $227.8 million overseas ($384.3 million worldwide).
The Japanese anime film "Sword Art Online: Progressive - Aria of a Starless Night", which is based on the YA novels of the same name, landed in tenth place with $1 million from 840 locations.

Australian National University researchers build organic smartphones
Rahul Varpe Date: 2018-10-08 Electronics and semiconductor
Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) have developed a thin and flexible semiconductor that is partially made from organic materials and can efficiently convert electricity into light. Through this invention, scientists have seemingly noted a way toward manufacturing bendable smartphones.
Citing reliable sources, the huge e-waste generated around the world each year is among the major reasons for environmental degradation, which has led to irreversible environmental damage. With this invention, the researchers at ANU, supposedly, have opened a door for a next generation, high performing electronic device which would be biodegradable, while also reducing the e-waste.
The inorganic parts of the semiconductor are allegedly made up of two atom thick layers of hydrogen and carbon, while the organic component is only a single atom thick. The hybrid structure, which could be developed into bendable televisions, smart phones and other electronic devices, has reportedly proved to be excellent in converting electricity to light.
An associate professor of ANU, Larry Lu, was quoted stating that the development of an ultra-thin electronics component with excellent semiconducting properties is the first of its kind. The flexible, thin organic-inorganic hybrid structure would purportedly encourage future technologies like bendable display screens and mobile phones.
Lu further said that they have characterized the electrical and optoelectronic properties of their invention, confirming the huge potential of the technology to be used as a future semiconductor component.
Sharma, a PhD researcher of the university, hinted on the higher efficiency of the hybrid semiconductor when compared to the conventional semiconductors. Sharma said that the mobile phones could be made as powerful as today's supercomputers with the integration of this invention.
The sharp light emission from the invented semiconductor devices could be used for high-resolution displays, and could also encourage bendable screen smartphones due to its super flexibility, Sharma added further.
For the record, the semiconductor was built module by module by the team of researchers in ANU through a process known as chemical vapor deposition.

GREENWALD: Striving to end gun violence
GREENWALD: Striving to end gun violence GREENWALD: Striving to end gun violence Check out this story on courierpostonline.com: https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/opinion/readers/2019/07/03/greenwald-striving-end-gun-violence/1638573001/
Louis Greenwald, NJ Assembly Majority Leader Published 10:49 a.m. ET July 3, 2019 | Updated 10:50 a.m. ET July 3, 2019
Gun violence statistics are staggering and unacceptable. Every year, in New Jersey alone, firearms take the lives of 300 people and more than 1,000 are shot. Since the Columbine school shooting in 1999 there has been roughly one mass shooting a year in America. Assaults by firearms kill 13,000 people a year in the United States.
Statistics tell a story in progress. We have the ability and the obligation to write the ending. We must have the courage to take action and in New Jersey we are doing just that. Last year, New Jersey enacted strong and effective policy solutions that have served as examples for the nation. We passed laws that closed loopholes, strengthened background checks by requiring all private sales to be conducted through federally licensed firearms dealers, and we reduced the maximum capacity for ammunition magazines from 15 rounds to 10.
Five cities suffer more than half of the gun violence committed in our state — Newark, Camden, Jersey City, Paterson and Trenton. For decades, our approach to curing the gun violence epidemic has been through the lens of criminal justice reforms. This ignores underlying social determinants, the important role played by responsible law-abiding gun owners and the longer term mental and emotional trauma inflicted on our communities.
Gun violence is a public health crisis comprised of many community concerns including the lack of proficient mental healthcare, community-and hospital-based partnerships and the proliferation of gun trafficking. Research and lessons learned from mass shootings have broadened our views on the issues, and shed light on the need for a comprehensive approach to ending gun violence.
Our citizens, now more engaged than ever before, demand action from their elected officials.
The New Jersey Legislature has heard those calls and responded.
In 2016, the State of New Jersey Commission of Investigation found that many of our current laws were outdated and were obstacles to law enforcement in their efforts to crack down on straw purchasing and gun trafficking. Our antiquated method of capturing and tracking ammunition sales is a perfect example.
Currently, vendors are required to collect basic information about the buyer and enter it into a handwritten sales log book. Other industries have abandoned this outdated method to employ electronic sales. New Jersey must do the same to help our communities fight gun violence.
Breaking the cycle of gun violence also requires us to address social issues. Recurrent violent trauma accounts for up to 45 percent of hospital readmissions. These traumas cost New Jersey taxpayers up to $1.2 billion each year. Healthcare providers need tools and resources to assist victims and their families' right when these traumas occur.
Understanding this, the Legislature passed a series of bills that will help connect victims to counseling services or housing and job placement programs before they leave the hospital. This is essential to stemming the reoccurrence of gun violence through retaliation. These approaches, already being implemented in several cities in our state, can prevent recurring gun violence and can reduce hospital admissions for gun violence by as much as 40 percent over five years.
At University Hospital in Newark, the site of the first Hospital Violence Intervention Program in the state, they have shown that these programs can be rendered cost-neutral if they can prevent 2.5 people from returning to the hospital for firearm related injuries. So far, they have successfully intervened in 17 cases. We must enact good public policies like this statewide if we're going to fight this epidemic.
We also must ensure that legal gun owners and their families have the tools, resources and training to safely keep firearms in their homes because, tragically, that's where 89% of accidental shooting deaths with children happen. We addressed the issue by passing bills to increase the sale of "smart guns" which can only be fired by their owner, require safe storage of guns in homes and ensure that someone gets training on how to safely operate, clean and store a weapon before getting a firearm ID.
New Jersey is a national model in finding ways to reduce gun violence. I applaud Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin and all of my legislative colleagues who have stood up on this issue to say, "Enough is enough."
Louis Greenwald is the Assembly Majority Leader. He represents the sixth legislative district, which includes parts of Burlington and Camden counties.

Extra, Extra, read all about it!
Jim A. Reekers1
These are strange times. We are no longer able to go to scientific meetings to learn, discuss, be inspired and meet colleagues and friends. In the meantime, new communication tools have emerged, and it is amazing to see how fast these innovative communication platforms have shaped a new virtual world. Some of these groundbreaking virtual meetings are amazingly good, like the virtual CIRSE summit this year. An unexpected finding is that the number of subscribers to virtual meetings is much higher compared to physical meetings. I wonder what will remain of this new world when we have conquered the pandemic.
Meanwhile there is another scientific revolution going on, completely independent from Covid-19. This revolution is silent and will change our scientific world permanently. I am referring to the way we have been communicating science over the last 350 years. The first academic journals were the Journal des Sçavans followed soon after by Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (1665). The first fully peer-reviewed journal was Medical Essays and Observations (1733). The way we are communicating science and the process of peer-review has a long tradition. Around 2000, BioMed Central (now part of Springer Nature) was founded as the first and largest open access scientific publisher. Parallel to the development of information and communications technology (ICT) and the internet, open access publishing has developed very rapidly in the last two decades, next to the traditional subscription journals. Almost all subscription journals have now established a whole family of open access platforms next to the old "mother" journal; and parallel to this, stand-alone open access journals emerge monthly.
The concept behind open access was already promoted by the American sociologist Robert King Merton who declared in 1942, "Each researcher must contribute to the 'common pot' and give up intellectual property rights to allow knowledge to move forward." I personally think that altruistic motives have little to do with this revolution of open access. It is a contemporary business model that follows online shopping, the internet, social media and the strive for inclusivity. It will only be a matter of time before all scientific publication is open access. The answer to the question if this will improve communication, transparency and inclusivity is not so clear yet – that all has to do with the nature of scientific publishing.
Scientific publishing is not about a scientific truth but about scientific facts. Truth is always contingent on historical and social context rather than being absolute and universal, and that truth is always partial and "at issue" rather than being complete and certain. This is what real science should be; always uncertain and open for discussion, embracing new facts and ideas. Science is not the truth, it is the pathway searching for the truth, which also explains the fact that we call it re-search. Recent political developments show that the truth is volatile but the facts are not, and the only way around this dilemma of alternative truth is to base the new truth on alternative facts. In science, alternative facts were always marked as fraud, a deadly sin in publishing science, often followed by expulsion from the scientific community. One of the ways to prevent scientific fraud has always been the peer-review process, already in place for more than 150 years. Although not 100% watertight, it is the best we have. There has always been criticism on peer-review, being non-transparent, patronizing and prejudiced, and this critique is often understandable. Therefore, the introduction of open peer-review in some new open access journals, like in CVIR Endovascular, is an important and irreversible development. It has many advantages, taking away the old criticism, and in my opinion making the published paper stronger and much more interesting, as the peer-review and the comments by the authors are now an integral part of the published paper. (Reekers, 2020) Until very recently I had no doubt that the shift from subscription journals with closed peer-review to open access with open peer-review is an unavoidable and irreversible next step in publishing science, but recent developments have made me very uncertain about this.
In the last couple of years, a new way to publish scientific data has emerged, and this is expanding very fast. I was shocked that many off my colleagues have not yet heard of this, so called, pre-print publishing. Pre-print is actually a platform where you can upload your scientific manuscript for everybody to read. It sounds like those digital platforms where you can upload your own music. But what really worries me is that if you visit one of those pre-print websites, the layout of the paper looks very real, like a medical paper as we all know it. And although, in fine print, it says that the manuscript is not peer-reviewed, the later is easily overlooked. But even more frightening is that these papers also get a permanent DOI number and are therefore citable and can be found through Google Scholar and Crossref. Interesting is also that journal publishers do not count pre-print as a reason to deny or disenfranchise a submission to their journal. Moreover, these manuscripts stay on these sites forever, and can also not be removed after they have been published in a peer-reviewed journal. I did a small random sample of pre-print papers published on these sites, and I could not find any paper that was also published in a peer-reviewed journal later on. I admit my random sample is not real science, but it is for me an indication that we are in a process of accepting and incorporating, non-scrutinized, potentially alternative scientific facts as part of the official scientific record.
With the speed of multiplication on the digital highway, I predict that we will soon have a parallel scientific world with non-peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts, on pre-print sites, containing references from other pre-print articles. When this happens, the scientific truth will be based on non-scrutinized, alternative scientific facts. This will lead to a complete collapse and inflation of science as we know and trust it today. The reality that this is not an unrealistic doom scenario was proven by the current president of the US who has recently touted that hydroxychloroquine is an effective drug to treat Covid-19, referring to a paper on a pre-print site as the scientific proof for his claims. Now 6 months later, this very paper still only exists in pre-print. If we, as doctors, have to base our medical decisions on alternative and non-scrutinized "scientific facts," we will become, gradually and unnoticed, a bunch of 2.0 quacks, because every medical treatment without good scientific data is no more than a medical experiment.

75. At the time when kings go off to war (2 Samuel 11:1).
Much is typically made of David's sin with Bathsheba starting when he wasn't where he was supposed to be. But why did David stay home from battle? His recent victories had formed alliances and strength that perhaps he is relying too heavily upon. Bottom-line: He didn't go to war because he didn't think he needed to. But it's hard to imagine a Middle Eastern kingdom to be so secure that kings can take a season off. David's pride and inflated sense of his success not only has him at home, but also fuels his decision that he can have the wife of one of his men. David's sin with Bathsheba didn't start when he saw her in the bathtub. It started with the pride that changed how he approached his work as king.

The Bentong wet market is no ordinary market of late.
Tourists are making a beeline to the market in search of the famous Bentong ginger, ginger powder and soy sauce in particular.
Lai Yoke Wan from Seremban, for instance, has good reason to opt for the ginger and ginger powder.
"I heard about the Bentong ginger. The ginger powder comes in handy when I rush to cook lunch for my grandchildren so that they will not be late for school,: she said.
Yoke Wan, 66, was among some 40 members from Seremban's Chi Hwa School Old Boys and Girds Association on a day trip to Bentong and surrounding areas recently.
Bentong, about 140km from Seremban, was their first stop.
Association chairman Chan Kok Sun, 58, said a tour company had recommended that they visit Bentong.
"We (members) had a meeting and decided to come here," he said.
Lai Peck Har, who organized the trip, said she found Bentong town and the market a bustling place.
"This is our first stop today and we are all excited," Said Peck Har.
The members who were waiting for the bus to go to their next stop were seen chatting happily, many of them seen carrying a plastic bag of the Bentong ginger.
A 45-year-old stall operator, Chan Kooi Keong, who is known as Ah Kam, Said there used to be only two or three ginger stalls in the market, but the number had ballooned to more than 20 since a year ago.
Ah Kam's mother Wong Chow Ngo, 72, has been selling Bentong ginger in the Market for more than two decades.
Ah Kam Said he was working in Ipoh before he resigned a year ago to help his mother.
"Besides using ginger for cooking, people nowadays also take ginger for its many health benefits," said Ah Kam before dishing out the many health benefits of Bentong ginger which he called "the poor man's ginseng".
The Ginger, he said, was grown in Bukit Tinggi near Bentong and priced at RM24 per kilogramme.
Ah Kam said the natural surroundings in Bukit Tinggi is conducive for ginger growing and that is why Bentong ginger is a cut above the rest.
Chow Ngo said her customers, including those from out of town, continued to buy the ginger because they could feel its good effects.
"It is good for blood circulation which is very important for health," she said.
Chow Ngo said her husband, Chan Kok Heng, 82, also took ginger juice for health.
"People, especially the elderly, will not feel cold after consuming ginger drink" she added.
Tour guide YL Wong 34, said Bentong was a popular stop nowadays.
She listed ginger, soy sauce and "sat keh mah" (a Chinese dessert) as among Bentong's most sought-after items by tourists.
Wong who bought half a kilogramme of ginger from Ah Kam, said she was getting it for a friend.
She said the Bentong stop had got increasingly popular since September, and she reckoned that the word-of-mouth advertising had also played an important role.
"We started from Seremban at 7am and our next stop is Raub," said Wong of their trip's itinerary.

The trader, Lee Mok Sang, 45, attributed the surge in tourist arrivals to "Maju Bentong" – a project to promote the local places, products and delicacies.
It is a project by Bentong MP and Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
Like Lee, several other traders at the market were all praises for Liow for his efforts in making Bentong a better place for the people.
Besides ginger and soy sauce, Lee said the town was also famous for its kaya puff, tau fu pok (a type of deep-fried taufu) and ice cream.
He said the market was packed over weekends and public holidays and business was very good.
Lee, who has manned the stall for almost 20 years, said Bentong, surrounded by hills, is a cool and peaceful place.
Having stayed in Kuala Lumpur before returning to Bentong and set-tled down in 1995, Lee said living in the capital city was stressful.
He also forsee better times ahead for Bentong folk, citing the rise in tourist arrivals which brings more business opportunities especially to the restaurants and market traders as very good start.
Bention wet market is a popular tourist destination.
Bentong ginger, dubbed the poor man's ginseng is a favourite purchase at the wet market.

The organs of 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green, who was the youngest of six people killed in last week's Tucson shooting rampage, have been donated to another young girl in Boston, according to Green's father John.
John Green doesn't personally know the little girl who has been given Christina-Taylor's organs, but he said he'd like to meet her and her family someday.
Christina-Taylor Green attended last week's "Congress on Your Corner" event because she was interested in politics and meeting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Born on September 11, 2001, Christina-Taylor was featured in a book called "Faces of Hope" that lists fifty children born on the day of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Manitoba Government and General Employees Union members at Macdonald Youth Services (Local 221), who provide crisis intervention services to youth and families in Winnipeg, walked off the job on August 2, 2016. This move was not undertaken on a whim: strike action is the last resort in any negotiation and is an indication of the level of frustration that these members have reached.
It was an absolute honour and privilege to join hundreds of brothers and sisters from across Canada last week in Ottawa for the National Union of Public and General Employees' (NUPGE) Convention, and to celebrate NUPGE's 40th anniversary. The convention spanned three days which included policy development, campaign updates and the election of a new NUPGE President.
On Monday, June 20, 2016, Canada's finance minister, Bill Morneau, and eight provincial ministers signed an agreement in principle to expand the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). This is a huge step forward to ensure retirement security for all Canadians. Yet, Manitoba remains one of only two provinces who chose not to sign the CPP agreement.
My name is Jim. I am a mental health worker in Dauphin and a member of the MGEU Equality and Human Rights Committee. In honour of National Aboriginal Day, I'd like to share a story about my amazing grandmother.
I recently had the opportunity to meet with Minister of Health, Kelvin Goertzen to chat about a number of ongoing concerns that MGEU members have been consistently bringing forward relating to health care. The meeting is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure our members' issues are getting in front of the new government and that positive changes are being implemented quickly.
The Pallister government's changes to the union certification rules are fixing a problem that just doesn't exist, and only makes it harder for everyday Manitobans to join a union.
I love this time of year, and not just because a beautiful Manitoba summer has arrived. In many ways, this is one of the most important and satisfying times I get to spend as MGEU President.
In celebration of the Pride Winnipeg 2016 festival (May 27- June 5), MGEU member, Chantal Theroux, provided this week's blog post about coming out.
The transition to a new Progressive Conservative government is significant for the citizens of Manitoba. It is doubly so when the new government is your direct employer or if the agency you work for is funded by government to sustain services and operations.
May 2-8 is the Canadian Mental Health Association's Mental Health Week. This year's theme is #GETLOUD for mental health. The CMHC is calling on Canadians to speak out about mental health issues and to lobby for better mental health services.
