Netflix (Android TV) 7.1.0 Build 3231 – Faster Video Streaming on Smart TVs
Darrel S. Rivers
Netflix has changed the entertainment industry and there is no doubt about that. Netflix gives users the option to stream shows which means that they can skip having to sit through countless ads before getting to enjoy their favorite movie or TV series. Not just that, but Netflix features lots of exclusive content that is not available on any other platform. This is why it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that Netflix is used by millions of paying subscribers.
The streaming app is available on literally all platforms starting with smartphones and ending with laptops. However, the most popular version of Netflix is the Android TV one. In fact, the reason why Netflix is making headlines on our website today is that the developers who are in charge of the streaming app have just released a new update for Android TV.
Netflix (Android TV) 7.1.0 build 3231
If you are a fan of Netflix and you enjoy using the app directly on your Android TV, then we have some great news to share with you. As previously noted, the developers who are in charge of Netflix have just published a new update and it is rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels.
The update is changing Netflix's version umber to 7.1.0 build 3231 and the only thing that Netflix fans are required to do in order to access the update is to keep their smart TVs connected to Wi-Fi.
On the other hand, we want to mention that there is an alternative way to manually download the update. This can be done by downloading the update in the form of APK, but we are advising everyone to stick with OTA releases because installing APKs can be tricky.
Nonetheless, the latest update for Netflix comes with a handful of bug fixes that are tackling various issues which sometimes caused the app to lag. Fortunately, this is not going to happen anymore.

Keith C. Packard, Councilman
The Council of the City of Lyndhurst met in Special Session on Monday, February 18, 2013 at 7:00 P.M., Vice Mayor Patrick A. Ward, presiding.
Council Representatives: J. A. Gambatese, C. A. LoPresti, J. A. Marko, K. C. Packard, L. A. Schlessel, D. A. Frey.
Others Present: R. F. Porrello, Chief of Police; M. A. Franco, Assistant Clerk of Council; Sari Feldman, Director of Cuyahoga County Public Library; Robert Varley, Chairman of the Board for Cuyahoga County Public Library.
Mr. Ward announced the purpose of the meeting is to discuss the Cuyahoga County Public Library's proposed move. Mr. Ward introduced special guests Sari Feldman, Director of Cuyahoga County Public Library and Robert Varley Chairman of the Board for Cuyahoga County Public Library.
Sari Feldman read the following comments into the record:
I am Sari Feldman, Cuyahoga County Public Library (CCPL) Executive Director. With me are Trustees Dale Powers and Robert Varley and a number of members of the Library staff.
1. Let me start by framing our conversation and stressing that CCPL is a system of 28 branches serving 47 communities across Cuyahoga County. We have a responsibility to act in the best interest of the system and the nearly 620,000 residents we serve.
When we make decisions as a system, we have to take into account the impact of the decision across the county.
Our Facilities Master Plan - of which the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch project is one of 18 projects - is designed to ensure that our community has the benefit of one of nation's very best public library systems while, at the same time, reducing operating costs to stay within our 2.5 tax millage, the lowest of any library system in the county.
Guiding our decisions is a focus on ensuring the strength and resilience of our Library system today and into the future.
-We've earned the Library Journal 5 Star Library designation for libraries our size the past four years, and we topped the list of 5 Star systems for third year in a row.
-We are currently the busiest public library system in the country with the highest per capita circulation of any library serving a population of our size.
2.	We arrived at our plan for the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch as part of the broader capital improvement program, which is aiming for two outcomes: to enhance service and to reduce our operating costs.
Since 2008, we've experienced a reduction in state and local revenue totaling approximately $26 million.
Our Board recognized the need to reduce our operating costs while maintaining excellent service. To accomplish this, our Capital Improvement program needed to focus on both efficiency and excellence.
We conducted building assessments at every CCPL branch. Those assessments helped us to identify priority projects.
The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch was identified as a priority project.
As we explored options for South Euclid-Lyndhurst, we began to consider the best outcomes that would achieve both efficiency and excellent customer service.
It costs 82% more to circulate material through the 22,000-square-foot South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch than it does to circulate material through our 36,000-square-foot Strongsville Branch because of South Euclid's layout.
In order to ensure the safety and security of the public and staff we must over staff the building.
Parking on the current site is insufficient - and there's nowhere to expand parking at current site.
The Telling Mansion is a historic building in declining condition, which means continued investment in major maintenance and upgrades.
CCPL has operated out of the Telling Mansion since the 1950s, when public library service was very different from what it is today.
When faced with the question of renovating the existing building, our Board could see that a $5.6 million investment would not result in maximizing efficiency and excellent customer service. It would not achieve a layout conducive to public library service for the 21st century.
The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch not only costs more than other branches, but - even more importantly - it doesn't allow us to provide the level of service that this community deserves. In our current fiscal state, we must do more with reduced funding.
Going back to our duty as a county-wide system, CCPL cannot justify continuing to operate in a building that costs more but delivers less.
3.	CCPL will continue to serve as a responsible steward of the historic building.
Since moving into the Telling Mansion in 1952, Cuyahoga County Public Library has worked to preserve the building's historic integrity.
Now that it is listed for sale, the Library is searching for a partner that will respect and uphold the Telling Mansion's listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
We are working with the Cleveland Restoration Society to help us find a responsible partner and protect the future of the building.
We share your desire to find a new purpose for Telling Mansion that best leverages its unique assets.
4.	The new SEU Branch will offer enhanced service at a more reasonable operating cost.
We are interested in gathering community input into the NEW branch design.
We have hosted two open sessions already focused on listening to the community's interests and needs for the new branch.
We have two more community dialogue sessions scheduled:
Wednesday, February 27th at the South Euclid Community Center at 7 pm
Thursday, March 28th at the Lyndhurst Community Center at 6:30 pm
We are in the process of securing a nationally recognized non-profit organization that's dedicated to helping organizations create and sustain public spaces that build stronger communities. Our intention is for this group to lead the session in Lyndhurst on March 28th.
Mr. Gambatese asked when discussions began regarding the move of the library and the process of informing the public of their meetings.
Mr. Frey stated there is not a better location than the present location to serve both communities and be within walking distance from both the junior and high school.
Mr. Schlessel expressed concern that residents were not addressed politely when calling with questions. Mr. Schlessel stated that many senior residents have voiced their concern that the distance will prevent them from visiting the library.
Mr. Ward said bus services are not available to the new location.
The following citizens voiced their concerns regarding the proposed move of the South Euclid Lyndhurst library:
Tina Tricarichi, 5610 Chelmsford, Lyndhurst
Marge Cirillo, 5173 Graham, Lyndhurst
Renee Epstein, 1855 Winchester, Lyndhurst

Film uncovers surprising history of women leaders makes stirring case for equality in halls of power; part of collection of 12 short films exploring women and power by female directors including Shlain, Kristen Stewart, Chloe Sevigny, and more.
New York, NY (October 13, 2016) – In anticipation of the historic U.S. election that could produce the nation's first woman president, a new film from Emmy nominated and Webby Awards founder Tiffany Shlain will debut October 28th on Refinery29. The film, 50/50: The Past, Present, and Future of Women + power, takes audiences on a thrilling and eye opening exploration of women as political leaders, winding from early human history to present day to a future where this is true equality in leadership roles between women and men.
50/50: The Past, Present & Future of Women + Power is part of Refinery29's Shatterbox Anthology, a collection of twelve engaging and powerful short films created by female directors, writers and animators. Over the course of a year starting in August 2016, Refinery29 will unveil one new film per month, including works directed by Kristen Stewart, Chloe Sevigny, Gabourey Sidibe, Meera Menon and Pamela Romanowsky. The first six films within the anthology, including 50/50, will also be available on Comcast's Watchable platform in the US.
50/50 follows Shlain, one of Newsweek's "women shaping the 21st century," on her own journey of discovery, starting with her surprise at learning that there have been 50 women who have served as heads of state (elected presidents or prime ministers) throughout the world. Upon finding that others similarly underestimated that number — most guessing well below half — she employs her signature cinematic-thought-essay style to tell the story of women as leaders, roving from early civilizations led by "badass" women to the rise of patriarchy to the modern women's rights movement.
Seamlessly blending together archival and found footage, news reports, and animation, the film offers a fascinating ride through the pivotal moments and people in history that have brought women to where they are today and what female leadership might look like in 50 years. 50/50 culminates in a moving montage of all of modern-day female heads of state – beginning in the 1960s with Sri Lankan Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike and traveling through the decades to current leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Shlain's films and work have received more than 80 awards and distinctions, including a Disruptive Innovation Award from the Tribeca Film Festival. Four of her films have premiered at Sundance, including her acclaimed feature documentary Connected: An Autoblogography about Love, Death & Technology, which the New York Times hailed as a "high tech Terry Gilliam." The US State Department selected four of Shlain's films to represent America at embassies around the world for the American Film Showcase. Her original series The Future Starts Here received more than 40 million online views and was nominated for an Emmy Award.
Film credits: Director: Tiffany Shlain. Writers & Producers: Tiffany Shlain, Sawyer Steele, and Julie Hermelin. Editors: Tiffany Shlain & Sawyer Steele. Executive Producers: Jacki Zehner, Amy Emmerich, Shannon Gibson, and Stone Roberts.
Watch the film online at Refinery29.com/shatterbox or Comcast's Watchables.

Saudi security moves to video "contrary to morals" … and furious after clip of young man's assault on girl
October 14, 2022 by propeciapharm.com
A day after "public accusations" between the United States and Saudi Arabia, the newspaper "Washington Post" published an analysis in which it described the history and course of the relationship between the two countries, which it described as "strange". , and the future after the recent tensions caused by the "OPEC +" reduction in oil production.
Washington criticized Riyadh for considering it to have provided "economic support" as well as "moral and military support" to Russia through the recent reduction in oil production quotas that occurred by "twisting the arm" of other producing countries, while Saudi- Arabia, in a statement, expressed its "total rejection" of the US accusations against it. Providing support to Russia, she emphasized that the decisions of the "OPEC +" alliance mainly depend on a "pure economic perspective."
The "OPEC +" alliance, consisting of the 13 member countries of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries "OPEC" and their ten allies led by Russia, decided last week to significantly reduce production quotas by two million barrels per day, starting in November.
The American newspaper said, in an analysis published by writer Adam Taylor, that "the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States is strange. There is no treaty or mutual defense agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia , but rather a relationship driven by a marriage of convenience that revolves only around oil."
The analysis reviewed the "informal" partnership between the two countries over a "dinner date" for more than 70 years on a US Navy ship in the Suez Canal.
Suez Canal meeting
Former US President Franklin Roosevelt was returning from the Yalta Conference in 1945 when he stopped in Egypt to meet with some of the most important leaders from the Middle East and Africa, notably King Farouk of Egypt and Emperor Haile of Ethiopia Selassie. There was also a lesser-known name on the list: the first Saudi king, Abdulaziz bin Saud, according to the newspaper.
According to the same source, King Abdulaziz was a charismatic military leader who managed to defeat his opponents to become the founder of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The paper goes on to say that the Suez Canal meeting is the first for King Abdulaziz outside the Kingdom, and he brought 8 heads of cattle with him to the USS Quincy, where he met Roosevelt, to be slaughtered for dinner.
The two leaders, according to the Washington Post, "reached an informal agreement in which the United States would provide diplomatic support and military training to the then-nascent kingdom, in exchange for political support in the region — and, of course, access to Saudi oil reserves ."
She added, "The oil reserves in Saudi Arabia were enormous, now believed to be second only to Venezuela, and of higher quality than the viscous crude found there."
"Only the United States had the resources to help the Saudi economy cope until oil production grew enough for the kingdom to meet its obligations," Bruce Riedel later wrote in his book "Kings and Presidents: Saudi Arabia and the United States Since Franklin Roosevelt said. "
The newspaper continues its account of the historic meeting: "In the years after 1945, this meeting was portrayed as the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship. Photographs of Roosevelt and Abdulaziz hang in Saudi diplomatic headquarters around the world. But in reality there was no significant shift after the meeting."
Roosevelt died just two months after meeting Abdulaziz, and was succeeded by President Harry Truman, who took a more cautious view of the kingdom, according to the Washington Post.
Saudi oil production grew, but it had no immediate effect, as later estimates indicated that Saudi Arabia's income in 1950, after years of oil-fueled growth, was less than that of a medium-sized American city, according to the paper.
And when Saudi Arabia's oil refineries finally prospered, it wasn't long before some Americans began to question the precise point of the relationship.
And the "Washington Post" says in its analysis that the common interests between Riyadh and Washington, away from oil, are "transient".
The Palestinian cause
And she added that when Roosevelt and King Abdulaziz met in 1945, most of the discussion centered on the possibility of establishing the state of Israel, given the strong opposition of the Saudi leader, "but the differences on the Palestinian issue will later be the root of many differences."
In 1972 and 1973, Saudi Arabia's oil embargo targeted countries that supported Israel in the Yom Kippur War, specifically the United States. And as Saudi Arabia grew richer, so did its power.
"We have reached the point where we are more dependent on them than they are on us," an American diplomat told the Washington Post in 1977 amid another round of tensions.
"Besides being good friends, it's an unhealthy situation for us," he added. Later, after the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the two countries united in opposition to Tehran.
By the 1990s, Saudi Arabia had become a major customer for US military goods, supporting US industry, according to the paper.
But after the end of the Cold War, Saudi Arabia now finds itself allied with Moscow in OPEC Plus for economic reasons.
Now, by pushing for production cuts in OPEC Plus, Saudi Arabia is not only indirectly supporting Russia or pushing the world into recession – it is shaking the very slippery, oil-based foundations of its relationship with the United States.
And if Biden listens to some Democratic lawmakers, this marriage of convenience could eventually lead to divorce.
And the US president, Joe Biden, promised after the "OPEC +" decision to conduct a "reassessment" of the long-standing strategic relationship between the two countries, which is based on a simple principle: Saudi Arabia supplies the market with oil, and in return the United States guarantees its security, especially through large arms deals with it. Several Democratic members of Congress are calling for a freeze on massive arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia.. Warning to "harassers" ahead of the National Day celebrations


We had a big hail storm at the end of March 2017 and quickly started the claims process with our agent and insurance company. I started working with a different company but the fear of roofers being "flaky" was very true with the first guy. Our agent suggested we work with Griffith Roofing and provided us Josh's number. Josh was in the neighborhood and came by – we actually signed the contract the same day. I was blown away with his professionalism and sincerity to help us through the process. From start to finish, Josh Sutton and the team at Griffith was AMAZING to work with. Yes, a roofing company can be "AMAZING!" These guys are. No surprises, clear communication, worked hard with the insurance company to maximize our claim and ensure the scope of the project would excel our expectations and limit our out of pocket money. Josh and the Griffith team handled all aspects of our claim – one contact to complete the roof, gutters, garage door replacement, window screens, stucco repair, fence repair and exterior painting of the entire home. The quality of work was truly incredible, the quality of their employees and contractors were even more impressive. No matter what came up, Josh and team were there with a smile and willingness to help. We feel very blessed to have Josh on this project!

You can't data map forever - Top 10 steps to operationalise the GDPR
By Mark Webber and Hannah Wallet | May 26, 2017 11:39
Implementation of the EU GDPR is less than a year away, and being 'GDPR ready' is a key focus for many organisations. To help, here we provide the top 10 steps to operationalise the GDPR in your organisation.
Getting GDPR ready – as easy as 1, 2, 3 (er..4!)
By Mark Webber | May 12, 2016 18:44
Are you ready for this? Originally 261 pages, the GDPR has over 20,000 more words than Shakespeare's Hamlet and has probably resulted in more primers and updates in your inbox than your IT department's imposed storage limits will tolerate. Headlines like: "Companies who've not started GDPR readiness will not be ready on time" and "GDPR fines up to 4% of worldwide turnover" intended to scare, actually scare you. Getting "GDPR ready" may seem a daunting task – but with careful planning, project management and prioritisation, it is an achievable one.
The GDPR's impact on the cloud services provider
By Mark Webber | March 18, 2016 17:29
At the end of 2015, Europe finally agreed the text of its new General Data Protection Regulation, the law that will replace Europe's aging Data Protection Directive. The Regulation, or GDPR, is the first major re-write of European privacy laws in 20 years, and carries with it a significant extension of liability and compliance obligations. This is particularly the case for the mere data processor (a role familiar to the average cloud services provider). Previously beyond the direct reach of EU data privacy law, the data processor's compliance world will soon change as the GDPR will extend specific legal obligations to data processors.
The Directive is Dead (Almost)! Long live the GDPR!
By Phil Lee and Hazel Grant | December 15, 2015 22:38
It's here: after years and years of debate, the negotiating parties to the trilogue are reported finally to have agreed the text of the European Union's successor privacy legislation: the General Data
Cookie consent - The state of the (European) Union
By Brian Davidson | July 8, 2011 11:22

Q: middle aligning icon-fonts inside css circles I am trying to middle align icons inside a circle. I am using icon fonts by font-awesome. My code is as follows

CSS
ul {
  list-style: none;
}
ul li {
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 15px;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
  border-radius: 50%;
}
ul li a {
  font-size: 1em;
  color: #000;
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: middle;
  text-align: center;
  text-decoration: none;
}

and also I tried
a {
 line-height: 100%;
 text-align: center;
}

But these approaches does not work.

A: You can do this with flexbox quite easily. That is my go to and then fallback to the above solution for browsers that don't support flexbox. Flexbox support is awesome these days especially with IE 8 9 & 10 going away.
The trick is to use justify-content: center to align the icon center in the circle and use align-items: center to vertically align the icon in the circle.
Check out this great resource on flexbox. See here for an example pen http://codepen.io/celsowhite/pen/pgVegE.
The HTML:

The SCSS:
ul.social_links {
    display: block;
    padding: 20px 0px 0px;

    li {
        display: inline-block;
        font-size: 23px;
        padding: 0px 10px;

    }
}

ul.social_links i {
  background: black;
  border-radius: 50%;
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  color: #fff;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  transition: all .5s ease-in-out;

  &:hover{
    background: #555555;
  }
}

A: Use line-height property, that's best, I had same problem I used line-height and it's done.
Example
   height:20px;
   width:20px;
   line-height:20px;

good to go

A: Your solution is valid, you just need to move the width and height declarations into the a:
ul {
  list-style: none;

  li {
    display: inline-block;
    background-color: pink;
    margin: 15px;
    border-radius: 50%;

    a {
      color: #000;
      display: table-cell;
      vertical-align: middle;
      text-align: center;

      height: 100px;
      width: 100px;

      &, &:hover, &:active {
        text-decoration: none;
      }
    }
  }
}

Result:

A: Example of list :

 293, Boulevard Abdelmoumen 20360 - Casablanca Maroc

 293, Boulevard Abdelmoumen 20360 - Casablanca Maroc

 293, Boulevard Abdelmoumen 20360 - Casablanca Maroc

CSS code to center icon in circle :
      .footer-text .fa-coordonne {
          color: white;
          background-color: #dad918;
          border-radius: 50%;
          font-size: 25px;
          width: 40px;
          height: 40px;
          text-align: center;
      }

      .footer-text .list-coordonne>li:first-child .fa-coordonne:before{
        content: '\f041';
        text-align: center;
          font-weight: 600;
          vertical-align: sub;
          z-index: 12;
      }

      .footer-text .list-coordonne>li:nth-child(2) .fa-coordonne:before{
        content: '\f003';
       text-align: center;
          font-weight: 600;
          vertical-align: sub;
          z-index: 12;
      }

      .footer-text .list-coordonne>li:last-child .fa-coordonne:before{
        content: '\f095';
      text-align: center;
          font-weight: 600;
          vertical-align: -webkit-baseline-middle;
          z-index: 12;
      }

A: What I simply like to do is first set the height and width of the icon. Plop it in a div. Apply border radius of 50%(to get a circle) to the div. And give it a background-color(obviously). Set the display property of the div to "flex". justify-content: center and align-items: center. And there you go! Works out for me!

A: add this padding in 'li'
li{
padding:10px; //or anyvalue
}

or use specific padding
li{
padding-top:10px; //or any value
}

remember when you add padding value then the size would also increases, adjust and balance them.

Trump contradicts nurse he's honoring over PPE availability
Posted byTed Block May 7, 2020 Posted inCommentary, Coronavirus
He's not listening
But wait, there's more: In reversal, Trump says task force will continue 'indefinitely'
Around the Block dedicates its space to CNN's coverage of National Nurse Day in the Oval Office yesterday.
(CNN) President Donald Trump contradicted a nurse he was honoring in the Oval Office on Wednesday, insisting there are no personal protective equipment shortages in the US despite her account that availability could be "sporadic."
A reporter asked the nurses attending the National Nurse Day event if their PPE supplies are where they need to be amid the coronavirus pandemic, and many of them nodded in agreement or answered affirmatively.
"I think it's sporadic," answered Sophia L. Thomas, president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. "I mean, I talk to my colleagues around the country. Certainly there are pockets around the country where PPE is not ideal, but this is an unprecedented time."
Thomas said she works at a community health center in New Orleans, and that her youngest Covid-19 patient was 4 days old.
"The infection control measures that we learned back when we went to school, one gown and one mask for one patient per day — this is a different time," she said, adding that she has been reusing a single N95 mask for "a few weeks now."
"PPE has been sporadic, but it's been manageable. And we do what we have to do," Thomas said. "We are nurses and we learn to adapt and do whatever we can do for our patients to get the job done and the care provided, and that's what we will continue to do as Covid-19 continues."
Despite her firsthand experience, Trump disputed Thomas' account.
"Sporadic for you but not sporadic for a lot of other people," the President told her.
"Oh no, I agree, Mr. President," she answered.
"Because I've heard the opposite," Trump said. "I have heard that they are loaded up with gowns now. We had empty shelves and empty nothing because it wasn't put there by the last administration."
Of course, the full effect of Trump's rude, discourteous and downright insolent response to Ms. Thomas, not to mention the lack of empathy he showed for the Covid-19 death of a 4-day old infant, is only experienced by watching the video.
I couldn't sign off without a few words about the most recent "policy" shift coming also out of the White House on National Nurse Day, and again from CNN:
(CNN) President Donald Trump declared Wednesday his coronavirus task force would continue "indefinitely" a day after he and Vice President Mike Pence said they were phasing out the health-focused panel in favor of a group focused on reopening the economy.
"I thought we could wind it down sooner. But I had no idea how popular the task force is until, actually, yesterday when I started talking about winding it down," Trump said in the Oval Office, where he was meeting with nurses. "I get calls from very respected people saying, 'I think it would be better to keep it going, it's done such a good job.' "
"It's a respected task force. I know it myself," he added. "I didn't know whether or not it was appreciated by the public but it is appreciated by the public."
You know, Trump is always complaining about the rude, nasty questions he gets from the White House press corp. I think it's time for them to actually live up to their reputation.
Jim Acosta (CNN) Mr. President: So, coronavirus policy, and whether to have a task force of experts in place to fight the pandemic, is done on a whim, based on whether the task force was "popular" or not.? What does that mean? Does it mean that the task force briefings get high ratings? That it's popular because the American people want to see if Dr. Birx ever runs out of scarves? Or that there are over/under pools for how many times Vice President Pence can praise you in one briefing?
Yamiche Alcindor (PBS News Hour) Mr. President : I have two questions today: 1) Who are those very respected people who keep calling you? Since I assume that only calls from people you know get through to you, and you don't know any respected people, who are these people and why do they think the task force has done such a "good job;" and 2) What exactly did you mean when you said "I don't whether or not it (the task force) was appreciated by the public but it is appreciated by the public." You know, of course, that sentence makes no sense, so could you expand on it?
Couldn't watch Trump's latest briefing? Neither could I
2 thoughts on "Trump contradicts nurse he's honoring over PPE availability"
Steven Zisser says:
The last thing I want to hear is an invitation to tRump to expand on one of his nonsensical statements. With no sense of shame or irony, he would do so – provide a longer, more nonsensical ramble that will be cheered by his zombies
Point well taken! But wouldn't you want to know which "respected people" call him?
BTW, you're a respected guy, why don't you give him a call. Of course, you'll need the special "respected people" number: 1-800-CALLDON (1-800-225-5366)

Rust buildup can not only make a car's body look bad, but it can make the metal structurally unsound for repairs and refinishing. That's why we make it easy to eliminate rust with our selection of automotive rust prevention products, including automotive rust converters, sealers, primers, and fighters. Offered from companies like 3M, Rusfre, and SEM, you'll find top products from brands you trust – and you can have them delivered right to your door.
Minnesota-based 3M remains one of the top choices for sealants, adhesives, and chemical applications that improve a car's finish. The 3M Mar-Hyde One Step Rust Converter Primer Sealer and One Step Rust Converter are ideal for when you need to covert rust without having to resort to hand sanding. By chemically sealing the rust and providing a smooth finish, you can skip many of the more time-intensive repairs associated with this kind of work.
3M also sells a Rust Fighter and matching application wand that can help prevent corrosion in the future. Easy to spray on and sold in large, quart-sized packages, this product is ideal when you need to protect areas where you've been doing repairs. Other popular brands like Rusfre offer rustproofing for close-fitting areas, while SEM can be used beyond auto-body repair shops to include marine and industrial shops.
If you run a large or busy auto body repair shop, you may need to keep a large supply of automotive rust converters and auto primer sealer on hand. At Auto Body Toolmart, we make it easy for you to maintain your current inventory level by shipping your supplies per-bottle or in larger quantities you can keep on the shelves.
Because of the chemical makeup of rust converters and automotive rust prevention supplies, it's not possible to send them outside the continental United States. Contact our sales team for more information on how you can purchase these and similar supplies.

Jim Wahlberg: The Big Hustle: A Boston Street Kid's Story of Addiction and Redemption
When Jim Wahlberg went to prison the second time at 22 years old, he was sentenced to six to nine years for breaking and entering, bargained down from life for home invasion. He had staggered into a Boston cop's apartment, helping himself to the sellable stuff and all the beer in the fridge. The cop came home, found Jim passed out at the kitchen table, beat the hell out of him, and arrested him.
But Wahlberg, a 130-pound kid from Dorchester, had learned some things from his life on the street and his first prison sentence. He knew how to survive. And he knew that if he wanted to avoid serving the full sentence, he would have to do something.
He did what he was best at: He hustled. He would create the illusion that he was trying to change, that he'd become the model prisoner, not a guy hell-bent on getting out while he was still young enough to drink more, steal more, and do more drugs.
He didn't know, though, that the Catholic priest he was trying to hustle was actually hustling him.
The Big Hustle is the story of a redeemed life and a family's healing. This is the no-holds-barred, unvarnished, and sometimes brutal true story of Jim Wahlberg, the fifth of nine kids growing up in a working-class Irish Catholic neighborhood outside of Boston, hustling for attention any way he could get it, which led him to the biggest hustle of his life. Against all odds he got clean, he got out, and he got the girl. Jim dedicated his new life as a former addict to working with addicts, and for years has spread the word that recovery is possible.
But nothing could have prepared him for what came next. His discovery that his own son was an addict threw Jim into a crisis-one that led him deeper into his faith and led to healing he never thought possible. This book is a testament to God's power and an invitation to all of us to hope in the darkest places.
Jim is the fifth oldest Wahlberg. Like his brothers Donnie and Mark, Jim recovered from his tough upbringing in the streets of Dorchester to become producer, writer, and director of films, including The Circle of Addiction, What About the Kids?, and The Lookalike. Jim is the executive director of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, created to improve the quality of life for inner city youth through a working partnership with other youth organizations.
Jim and his wife live in South Florida and have three children.

Q: Add/Start/Stop IoT Core application from another application I would like to add/start/stop/remove an application (IoT Core) just like the web interface or the Power Shell commands: "IotStartup" but from within a C# application running on the IoT Core itself.
Is there a c# API for this or do I have to implement the Power Shell commands inside my application?

A: Using the Device Portal API could work for you.
Here are the docs.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/debug-test-perf/device-portal-api-core

A: Device Portal APIs are intended for remote management, and may not work from within a UWP against localhost due to loopback restrictions in Windows (to prevent an app from attacking the device it's running on).
That said, the Windows.Management.Deployment.PackageManager class provides installation and removal APIs for apps. To launch an app, you can use Windows.System.Launcher.  Note that PackageManager is a restricted capability, so the app won't be able to go into the Store without special permissions from Microsoft.  It will work in sideloaded scenarios though.
There is no way to close an app from another app with existing APIs.  However, Launching the app using the above, then connecting with an AppServiceConnection to manage it, you can send a "Close" message over the AppServiceConnection that causes the app to close itself.

Amazon expanding again in Seattle with 2 more leases, as growth continues unabated
Originally published January 12, 2018 at 2:17 pm Updated March 6, 2018 at 12:39 pm
The added space would amount to a huge expansion for just about any other company, but it's just another day in the life of Amazon, which has been expanding rapidly in Seattle even after announcing its HQ2 plans.
Mike Rosenberg
Seattle Times business reporter
Amazon has leased two more mid-sized office buildings in South Lake Union as the company's rapid growth in Seattle continues unabated.
The company confirmed Friday it has leased all the office space in the new 11-story, 162,000-square-foot building at Ninth Avenue and Thomas Street, as well as about 186,000 square feet in the former Pemco Insurance headquarters on Eastlake Avenue, next to the REI flagship store.
The Puget Sound Business Journal first reported the leases.

For just about any other local company, the moves would amount to a huge expansion. For Amazon, which has more than 8 million square feet in Seattle already and plans to get to 12 million soon, it's a drop in the bucket.
A year-end report from the Broderick Group, out Friday, said Amazon had five of the seven biggest leases signed in Seattle in 2017. Those deals added another 1.65 million to the company's footprint.
The two latest deals mean the company has seven of the nine biggest leases in the city since the start of 2017.
In all, the company has expanded by 2 million square feet just since last January. For perspective: No other company has 2 million square feet total in the city.
WaMu, which was the city's biggest office tenant before the Amazon boom, topped out at 1.6 million square feet last decade before folding in the recession.
The Ninth and Thomas building is a typical choice for Amazon, which has favored brand-new, mid-rise buildings in South Lake Union, and there are several other Amazon offices within spitting distance. The Pemco lease on Eastlake is a bit more unusual — it's an older building, and is the furthest east of all its current offices.
In all, Amazon occupies or plans to move into more than 40 buildings across South Lake Union and the Denny Triangle, with all the growth occurring this decade.
There are no visible signs yet that the company's plans to open a second headquarters elsewhere has affected growth in Seattle. Amazon's expansion continues at roughly the same pace now as it did before the HQ2 announcement last September.

Kevin Durant on beating the Rockets: 'It's a series that we'll probably never forget as we get older'
May 29, 2018, 11:56 AM UTC
HOUSTON — Kevin Durant waited for the ball to come his way and it never reached his outstretched hand. James Harden knew where Draymond Green wanted to go with the ball, jumped the pass, knocked the ball ahead and scooped it up for an emphatic, one-handed jam that put the Houston Rockets up 15 points in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals Monday night. Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr called time, and while Harden celebrated in an odd fashion, grabbing his nose as if it were bleeding, Green was scolding Durant as a parent would a disobedient child.
Green needed Durant to come to the ball — urgently, decisively — like he wanted it and not like he expected it to get there. The Warriors' season was again in danger of ending prematurely, against a Rockets team that wasn't ready to use the absence of Chris Paul as an excuse for not fulfilling its purpose as Golden State killers. And here the Warriors were, here Durant was, chilling and lacking the passion needed to grab ahold of what was in front of them.
[Yahoo Fantasy Football leagues are open: Sign up now for free]
Stephen Curry acknowledged that "in that moment, it could've splintered" for a team unaccustomed to back-to-the-wall adversity in the Durant era. Green snapped, Durant snapped back and the much-needed, heated exchange turned "a little rough patch" — as Curry called it — into an awakening. And before the night was over, the Warriors were passing around and posing with the silver ball perched atop the hardest earned conference championship trophy of this unprecedented four-year run for the franchise, following a 101-92 victory at Toyota Center.

"It's just another step, another step in your journey that I can pinpoint, once I'm done playing and say, 'Well, I went through this, too,' " Durant told Yahoo Sports as he exited the arena after scoring a game-high 34 points. "When I'm talking to a younger player or — who knows? — if I'm coaching in a couple years, 10 to 12 years from now, I'll have an opportunity to look back and say, 'The second year I was with the Warriors, we tried to get to a back-to-back championship, going Game 7 in the Western Conference and we won on the road.' I can say that now. And give back my experience to someone else. It was cool to see us figure it out as a team and break through as a team."
Durant had the most to lose if the Warriors had been unable to break through against the undermanned Rockets. He was brought to Golden State to make the franchise untouchable for however long it took to capture enough championship trophies to be deemed a dynasty. The Rockets weren't trying to play along with that plan and devised a scheme that flustered the Warriors and especially Durant, whose mood shifted from cocky to confused to petulant to miserable as the series progressed. And while Durant had played in three other Game 7's before Monday, never had the expectations been higher and the potential for an unyielding, scathing summer of criticism been greater had his team failed to reach the NBA Finals, let alone repeat as champions.
During his time in Oakland, Durant had been peppered with complaints that he had ruined the league's competitive balance, complaints that were easy for him to ignore with a championship ring in hand and the potential for more within reason. But as the Warriors struggled and lost their identity against these Rockets, Durant had to hear how he had broken the team by bringing those hero-ball isolations with him from Oklahoma City and made the organization that embodied fun, less so. All of this less than a year after he had outplayed LeBron James, won Finals MVP and helped bring the second championship in three years to town. With four in-their-prime all-stars, including two regular-season MVPs, the Warriors have an abundance of riches that makes their success seem inevitable and easy.
"It's not," Durant told Yahoo Sports. "All-Stars don't matter, accomplishments don't matter. It's about how you play on the court. That's what separates us from the good teams in the league, is no matter the talent you've got, you've still got to play every night. That's why we never come in like, 'We're invincible.' Because teams are getting better, players are good. The schemes, the way the game is taught different. We can't walk into many games feeling that we're entitled or that we're supposed to win. You've got to knuckle down and play. This series showed that."
Kerr said the Warriors won because "our talent took over," and Curry, Durant and Klay Thompson certainly took turns hitting crowd-silencing, soul-crushing jumpers. The game actually played out in a fashion similar to how Golden State became the league's most enviable team. Curry had one of those flurries that make the opposition contemplate why it even bothered to pick up a basketball, then Durant provided the finishing touches with the precision of a sniper. Kerr has had to find a way to manage and massage the egos of players who — other than Durant — may not have been drafted to become rock stars but have emerged as such during this run. The challenge of appeasing so much talent becomes more complicated when the team is tested and the game plan is questioned. But sometimes, overcoming a challenge comes down to desire. Green confronted Durant about being too passive, something he's done with early-morning text messages or enraged on-court rants.
"One thing about Draymond, he knows that I like that type of stuff. He's knows that it gets me going," Durant told Yahoo Sports. "And he doesn't use it all the time. He only uses it when he really needs it. I grew up with coaches walking on the court, dragging me off by jersey, taking me to the sideline because I wasn't playing well. Or coming home, my mom was like, 'What the [expletive] was that?' Excuse my language. I always had somebody on top of me. Now to have somebody who understands that in the NBA, somebody who can challenge me a little bit. It's only going to make me a better. We go back and forth, it's only for the betterment of the team. It makes us both lock back in."
The Warriors are now set for a Finals four-match with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, a reunion that appeared to be in doubt a few times this postseason. James has used the failure of that gentleman's sweep last year as fuel for a mind-boggling 15th campaign. Durant will have to stay physically and mentally engaged against James once again, but scoffed at the notion that James' performance in closing out the Boston Celtics to reach his eighth straight Finals was somehow unique.
"I think it's disrespectful to LeBron, like that last game was his defining moment? No. That was a huge moment, but I've seen him have better games. That tells you how good he is," Durant told Yahoo Sports. "So I got nothing but respect, nothing but love and respect and competitiveness. You know he's somebody who I've been through the trenches a bit, working out and playing with Team USA. You gain that respect and the level goes up another notch because you know the tendencies. You know how hard this guy works and you know how much he loves and enjoys the game, and he knows the same about you. Once that clashes, you just breed better basketball players. Just bringing excitement to the game and it's fun to be a part of it.
"I'm just so happy I get to play again in the Finals," Durant told Yahoo Sports. "To go through a Game 7 on the road, to go through that with these guys for the first time, all our first time doing this, it brought us closer as a group and it's a series that we'll probably never forget as we get older."

Does "SendBuf" have to be set manually for every stored session or can it be disabled it in scripts?
Excellent. Without the buffer, transfers are completing successfully.
5.0.7 (b2268) beta doesn't allow me to upload any files larger than approximately 10MB to my NAS running a very simple FTP server. The transfer will be aborted and a file left on the server that can be from ~100kb to any larger random size. The file never gets uploaded intact.
The only workaround I have found is to set a speed limit to 512kb/s.
Testing with 4.3.8 speeds of up 5Mbit/s are reached while finishing the transfer.
Logging doesn't show any error messages and the logs are identical from 4.3.8 and the beta. Both say the upload was successful. Note the different file sizes.

        GROUP BY 1, 2) A

I have used the nvl function and also decode but when no data found against the flags 1 and 3 then nothing is shown even 0 from nvl and also working decode.I want to show the whole string with as At Director Approval 0 Cheques of Rs.0 Please any one help me to do this

A: decode isn't broken, it just has no data to work with. You are filtering on where sta_flg in (1,3), so if there are no records with either status, there are no rows at all. You can't decode what doesn't exist.
One way around this is to change the way you're counting and summing the values so that the filtering is effectively done within the select, not the where. Removing the formatting for a moment, rather than doing:
SELECT COUNT(*), SUM(BPV_AMT)
FROM check_data
WHERE sta_flag IN (1,3);

... which will return no rows if there are no records with matching flags, even if there is other data in the table, you can do:
SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN sta_flg IN (1,3) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS rec_cnt,
    SUM(CASE WHEN sta_flg IN (1,3) THEN bpv_amt ELSE 0 END) AS bpv_amt_tot
FROM check_data;

As long as the table isn't empty, this will return a single row of data, with either normal values or both rec_cnt and bpv_amt_tot set to zero.
Plugging that in as an inner select your query might look like:
SELECT 'At Director Approval '
    || rec_cnt
    || ' Cheques of Rs. '
    || TO_CHAR(bpv_amt_tot, '9,999,999,999')
    || CASE WHEN rec_cnt = 0 THEN NULL
        ELSE ' in ' || CONCATENATE_LIST(CURSOR(
            SELECT DISTINCT NVL(bpv_dte, SYSDATE)
            FROM check_data
            WHERE sta_flg IN (1, 3)
            ORDER BY 1 DESC
        )) END AS dirapp
FROM (
    SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN sta_flg IN (1,3) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS rec_cnt,
        SUM(CASE WHEN sta_flg IN (1,3) THEN bpv_amt ELSE 0 END) AS bpv_amt_tot
    FROM check_data
);

The case around the ' in ' || CONCATENATE_LIST(... part is just to avoid a trailing in appearing when there are no matching statuses.
Since you aren't selecting any non-aggregated columns, you don't need a group by clause. (And the one you had was incorrect anyway - you can't group by column positions, so group by 1,2 is grouping by two constant values, which doesn't add anything).
And finally, since you're using concatenate_list() I assume you're on a version earlier than 11gR2; if you are on the current version then the built-in listagg() would be simpler.
